Transformers: Leader's Proof - Fragile, but Hard to Kill

Chapter 54 is on the verge of collapse (doesn't it rhyme with the previous chapter? (just kiddi

"Whoosh—" The land bridge opened, and everyone arrived at a mine. Everyone acted quietly and cautiously, as they could not be discovered by the Decepticons, or it would be very troublesome.

Everyone proceeded cautiously until they spotted Decepticon minions driving minecarts ahead. The group quietly discussed their tactics and charged forward.

Arcee was the first to climb onto the drilling vehicle, then jumped down and knocked out a henchman with an uppercut. Bumblebee followed with a powerful shoulder strike, knocking another henchman unconscious against the drilling vehicle's armor.

The other person, who hadn't even had a chance to press the communicator button, had just raised his hand when Rosa flashed and slashed off his neck.

It was quite dark around, so Rosa's sudden appearance was very obvious. She appeared behind the minions with a blue glow all over her body. Everyone found it strange, but with the 'Ultimate Compression Technology' in the background, everyone accepted it well.

Rosa used Flash before in front of Arcee to catch bullets, but Arcee didn't see where Rosa came from and assumed Rosa was right next to her, so she didn't realize it was Flash.

Bumblebee was under control and couldn't be seen that time, and the ambulance was also thrown to the ground and couldn't be seen.

No one said anything; finding the Space Bridge was the priority. They continued rushing forward, reached the elevator, and continued descending. Eventually, they hid behind rocks and stealthily made their way to the Space Bridge.

“Thank you, Red Spider.” Arcee said, looking at the scene before her. The person behind the partition was shocked at how Arcee knew.

Arcee turned to the partition and answered its question, "Who else could it be?"

Then, Bumblebee and the partition picked up a drilling vehicle and threw it over to deal area damage. Rosa immediately flew in front of them and used her dual swords to finish them off, but the distance was too far for the swords to reach them, and it was also within the solver's control range.

Rosa instantly transformed her hand back into a solver and twisted her neck.

Arcee also took out another Decepticon in the distance, and now that there were no enemies around, she successfully occupied the Space Bridge temporarily.

“It’s truly an engineering masterpiece,” the ambulance said as it walked toward the control panel of the space bridge, while the others continued to keep watch over the surroundings.

"Does it work?" Arcee looked at the ambulance and tapped on the control panel.

"Yes, this is the scariest time. I need to shut down the jammer, contact the base, and maintain communication with the base for the rest of the time."

The ambulance driver looked back at the control panel and began manual intervention.

"Call Center"

At that moment, the sound of an ambulance blared from the Autobot base: "Target captured!" The ambulance could hear cheers erupting from within the base through the communication system. My heart, which had been pounding with anxiety, relaxed slightly. Next—

"Whoosh—" Jack stepped out of the land bridge portal, already dressed in his spacesuit and holding the key to the Magic Orb in his hand.

"Ready?"

“Let’s begin.” Jack took the keys in his hand and looked at Arcee with determination.

"I will keep the space bridge passage open to prevent any delays caused by remote communication, and it will also be easier to find when you are ready to come back."

The ambulance driver continued to explain to Jack that they didn't know the location of the Magic Orb and couldn't teleport Jack directly to its vicinity; for now, they could only trust that the key would guide him.

"Whoosh—" The space bridge opened, and Jack and Arcee headed to Cybertron together, after which they waited.

“Space Bridge Command Center! This is Deadfire, why haven’t you reported the situation yet!” A call suddenly appeared on the control panel, and they had to respond.

Just as the partition was about to go up to catch it, the ambulance stopped him. The ambulance driver would recognize the partition's voice; they needed to find a driver whose car hadn't been driven before...

"Is this okay?" A completely unfamiliar male voice, with a neutral yet lively tone, immediately drew everyone's attention.

Behind Rosa appeared some metal bones with a camera projecting a human-sized robot wearing a black trench coat and a black pilot's hat, with yellow beady eyes on a black screen.

The arms and hands are the same as Rosa's, except the triangle on the back of the hand is yellow.

None of them could have heard this voice before, so there was no problem. The ambulance nodded somewhat blankly, seemingly not expecting that Rosa's projection wasn't some Decepticon grunts or anything like that.

"This is the Space Bridge Command Center, everything is normal, sir!" Rosa's projection mimicked her grandfather N's ​​voice.

"It's normal, are you sure?" Deadfire asked uncertainly.

"We were just debugging the system. There was a... well, a serious background lag, but it's fixed now, sir. Um... are there any other problems?"

N's projection makes a timely gesture of touching the back of his neck, and his beady eyes also have many other lively expressions. The switching of expressions is particularly natural, so it is also quite cute.

The Autobots stared blankly at the small robot projected by Rosa. Rosa sensed their gazes and asked with her eyes, "Is there a problem?"

The ambulance driver remained stunned, shaking his head. This was the first time Rosa had used a projection so blatantly, and the level of imitation was...

Rosa seemed to realize something; the visor of her armor opened, and the screen covering the upper half of her face closed again.

The Autobots watched as Rosa's words appeared on the screen.

[This is my grandfather]

Then the words disappeared, replaced by beady eyes with the same lively expression, just like the robot projected in Rosa's hand. But then she seemed to remember something, and the eyes on the screen disappeared, turning back into words.

[The projection]

Okay, Rosa just added something, and after her blue beady eyes flashed again, she seemed to remember something else.

[<:3]

Rosa added a text emoji and then closed her mask. Now the other Autobots looked at Rosa with even greater astonishment.

So that screen can display these things besides that big X? Well, it's kind of cute.

"Okay, everything's fine now. I know it's not comfortable down there, keep going."

"Yes, sir, call over." As Rosa's grandfather N spoke, Rosa turned off the projector and retracted the camera, simultaneously ending the call.

"You've really kept a lot of things from yourself..." Rosa muttered through the partition, scratching her head and glancing away guiltily.

The ambulance continued its efforts to maintain communication, and soon after, Arcee reported that they had encountered mechanical insects.

These were clearly sentinels left by the Decepticons to prevent enemies from returning. They were right, so Arcee stayed outside while Jack entered the Magic Sphere.

Then came more bad news: there were Iron-Eating Bugs inside the Magic Orb, and they were now biting the download panel.

"Why does it have to be an iron-eating worm!" The partition brought back unpleasant memories.

"If they bite through the Magic Orb before the Energy Treasure is fully loaded..." The ambulance was about to continue explaining when a familiar voice suddenly came from behind.

"So, the Magic Ball isn't just a legend?" Megatron stepped out from the land bridge, looking at the Autobots all pointing their guns at him. "You guys really went all out to save our leader."

"Don't worry, I will never underestimate you again." Megatron clenched his fist and looked at Rosa.

"Rosa, I told you long ago that your bloodlust is not suitable for Autobots." Megatron thought of the look of horror on Orion Pax's face when he saw the image of Rosa.

"I'm giving you a chance. Join us now, and you'll have an endless supply of 'food.' Besides, your boss is here too. Why don't you come and keep him company?"

Megatron chuckled. He had a good plan. The Autobots didn't know about Orion Pax's situation. If she wanted to rescue their leader, they could use him as leverage as soon as she arrived.

Presumably, this monster can still obey commands.

"But most of the food in your restaurant isn't very good either; it's just so-so." Rosa wanted to pick her teeth with her claws, but then she remembered she was wearing armor and a fight was about to break out, so she decided not to take off her mask.

"So?" Megatron tilted his head slightly, seemingly...

“Bite me!” Rosa yelled.

It's hopeless.
