Enemies Meet Again, Starscream!
Actually, Alvin thought the chances of Ironhide being able to summon the Autobots Transformers were slim.
First of all, Ironhide is not a leader. He doesn't have the same prestige as Optimus Prime. He wouldn't be able to rally the entire universe, let alone the Solar System.
Secondly, there is the "Matrix of Leadership". Optimus Prime originally delivered a speech in the Solar System and gathered the Autobots members scattered on various planets after he merged with the Matrix of Leadership.
Leaving aside the question of whether Optimus Prime could have rallied his allies in the Solar System without the Matrix of Leadership.
But Alvin found it a bit difficult.
However, there's no harm in giving it a try; what if I can fool a few people?
Otherwise, with the few remaining members of the Autobots, their chances of winning on paper are almost zero.
With just a single strike, such as Soundwave, Starscream, or a roadblock, you can rub sheet metal and an ambulance to the ground in a frenzy.
If Megatron were to do it himself, he'd be considered merciful if he couldn't tear them into seven pieces in three minutes, out of respect for Optimus Prime.
"When do we retaliate?" Ironhide asked, sounding somewhat eager.
Its inherently violent nature makes it yearn to rush out and have a good, satisfying fight with those Decepticon bastards.
"Who said we're going to fight back now?" Alvin gave it a speechless look. Did it have no self-awareness at all?
Roadblocks, Soundwave, Starscream, Cyclone, Scorpions. They outnumber you in sheer numbers, not to mention in quality. Plus, they have the backing of the United States military. Crushing you would be a piece of cake for them, wouldn't it?
Tinker was a little confused, scratching his head as he asked, "If we don't fight back, then what are we supposed to do?"
Have you ever heard of guerrilla warfare?
Alvin decided to give these Cybertron bumpkins a little taste of human power.
Cybertron may have had advanced technology in the past, but there is one area where even the Transformers are inferior to humans.
That is, humanity has ample experience and a voice when it comes to focusing on the destruction of humankind.
It has been said that the greatest invention of human society is war. In order to kill their own kind more efficiently, they have gradually researched and invented the greatest invention of mankind, which lies in their obsession with destroying their own kind!
The art of war is the art of command.
Alvin looked at the metal sheet and said calmly, "From now on, I need your complete trust and obedience to commands and orders. Whatever I ask you to do, you must do it. Do you understand?"
His first step was to replace Optimus Prime as the leader of the Autobots.
Of course, this is on the premise that Optimus Prime is dead; otherwise, if Optimus Prime were still alive, it wouldn't be his turn to give orders.
"No problem, we will follow your orders."
Having already exhausted all other options, the metal sheet and the ambulance readily agreed to his request.
It's not that they're stupid; on the contrary, they're quite clever. The Autobots have now been completely cornered by the Decepticons, with no way out.
They had no choice from the start; it was either to be destroyed or to take a gamble.
Clearly, neither the metal car, the ambulance, nor even the bumblebee were willing to sit idly by and wait to die; they wanted to take a gamble!
"Very well, then I will announce the first order."
Alvin, seemingly "taking advantage of the situation," were actually a two-way move, temporarily gaining command of the Autobots.
But that's okay. Although it's temporary for now, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.
"Ironhide, send out messages to the Solar System and see if any of your allies respond," Alvin said, looking at Ironhide. "Then, I need you to leave the team and, while ensuring your safety as much as possible, draw the Decepticons' attention. This mission is dangerous. Can you do it?"
You're sending it to its death!
Upon hearing this order, the ambulance driver standing nearby couldn't help but speak up.
However, Alvin ignored the ambulance, staring intently at the metal sheet, as if waiting for its response.
Ironhide was silent for a few seconds, then sat down with his heavy frame, quickly bringing his gaze perpendicular to Alvin's. "I hope you can tell me the significance of doing this, Commander."
This order seems to be sending it to its death. Once it is targeted by the Decepticons' Transformers, even if Ironhide is a weapon master, it will be difficult for it to survive.
The saying "two fists can't beat four hands" applies everywhere.
"Drawing the Decepticons' attention will buy us time, and also buy time for Optimus Prime to be resurrected."
Alvin spoke the most cruel words in the calmest tone, "We need time, and you... are the pawn. Are you willing to sacrifice yourself to revive Optimus Prime?"
Ambulance seemed about to say something more, but Ironhide stopped him. "No need to say anything more, Ambulance... He's right, someone needs to distract the Decepticons, and I'm the most suitable person. Leave it to me!"
It must be admitted that Optimus Prime's leadership charisma is indeed very strong. Even knowing that he was being "sacrificed," Ironhide resolutely accepted the mission.
"I need you to disguise the signals of an ambulance, Jazz, and Bumblebee as much as possible along the way," Alvin continued, outlining his plan. "While ensuring maximum safety, keep the attention of the Decepticons and the human government drawn, buying us time and space. Can you manage that?"
"No problem, I'm a weapons expert."
Tin Man laughed heartily, showing no fear whatsoever, as if this was exactly what he had hoped for. "I will delay them as much as possible, and I hope you... will keep your promise!"
It was willing to sacrifice itself, not because of this human, but to resurrect Optimus Prime.
"I swear in the name of Valshius."
Alvin looked calmly at Ironhide, and under its solemn gaze, said in a deep voice, "I will keep my promise and resurrect your leader... Optimus Prime!"
"Very good, I believe you!"
Tin Man slapped his knee, threw his head back, and let out a hearty laugh. Once he'd vented his emotions, he asked, "When do I set off?"
"Now."
Under the cover of night, Alvin said calmly, "The Decepticons won't give you time to rest. If I'm not mistaken... Megatron has already sent men to hunt you down."
And indeed, things turned out exactly as he had predicted.
A pursuit team comprised of Barricade, Scorpion, and Cyclone, with the assistance of the United States. military, is conducting a large-scale search for the Autobots' signal sources and the location of their radiation sources.
Upon hearing this, Ironhide didn't delay any longer. He turned to look at Optimus Prime's remains and said in a deep voice, "Optimus Prime... I'm entrusting him to you."
The ambulance was filled with sorrow, and even Bumblebee couldn't help but sob. They knew very well how much danger Tinker had taken.
The night was deep, and the metal sheet transformed into a general-purpose pickup truck, roaring with its engine as it drove off into the distance, kicking up clouds of dust as it disappeared into the distance.
"Next, it's your turn, Ratchet." Alvin turned his gaze to Ratchet: "You have two tasks: one is to revive Jazz, and the other is to remain hidden as much as possible and protect Optimus Prime's body."
With Ironhide's resolve reinforced, Ratchet no longer questioned, "Yes, Commander, I swear I will protect Optimus Prime's body with my life!"
Finally, it was Bumblebee's turn.
It stared with its two big eyes, seemingly unable to contain its excitement, and approached with some anticipation, awaiting its task.
I'll do anything to Optimus Prime, as long as it can be revived!
"You, come back to Los Angeles with me."
Alvin said to Bumblebee, "Your energy and radiation are less than other Autobots, making you the most suitable for infiltration. Let's go find the fragments of the AllSpark."
Bumblebee danced excitedly, while a cacophony of noise emanated from the radio, constantly being switched between channels.
"Fix the sound first!"
Alvin covered his ears, finding it unbearable.
The next day, the sun rose.
The ambulance, carrying Jazz and Optimus Prime's bodies, drove into the forest. Before receiving orders, it had to hide itself as much as possible and protect Optimus Prime's body!
With its sound fixed, Bumblebee was finally less noisy and transformed back into a Camaro. Although the model and color had changed, it wasn't a major issue.
Anyway, Alvin didn't think this feint could last long. The Decepticons would eventually find out. The difference was... whether they could find the AllSpark fragments before they were discovered.
The Rubik's Cube, or the "AllSpark," is merely a vessel in form. The energy and knowledge it contains can never be destroyed; they can only change their form of existence.
Alvin remembered that this was a direct quote from the Fallen, and it was exactly the same in the movie: the larger fragment of the AllSpark revived Megatron, who had fallen into the Pacific Ocean, while the knowledge contained in the smaller fragment flowed into the brain of the protagonist, Sam.
This makes the protagonist, Sam, the only clue to finding the "Matrix of Leadership".
Alvin tried his best to dig into his memory, searching for details from the movies of his past life, hoping to find some clues.
In the movie, Sam held the AllSpark aloft and plunged it into Megatron's chest. This resulted in a small fragment of the AllSpark ending up in Sam's pocket, while the larger fragment was found by Optimus Prime and given to humans for safekeeping.
This time, however, it was Optimus Prime who took the initiative to merge the AllSpark with the Energy Treasure in his chest, thus destroying the AllSpark.
If nothing unexpected happens, the larger fragments should eventually fall into the Decepticons' hands.
What about the smaller fragments? Where should we look for them?
Completely clueless, Alvin decides to try his luck by going to the male lead.
Perhaps, driven by the powerful inertia of fate, the AllSpark fragment will fall into his pocket, just like in the story.
Sitting in the Camaro, Alvin thought of the Decepticons' Soundwave in the movie, which hacked into a military satellite and eventually found the location of the AllSpark fragment. He asked, "Do you have anyone who can fly into space and hack into a human military satellite?"
"I'm sorry, Commander," Bumblebee's voice became much more serious after it recovered, "None of us can do it, and we can't fly either."
This is awkward... Alvin paused for a few seconds, then asked, "Then... what about creating miniature Transformers and having them infiltrate the base?"
"Commander, this... we can't do it either." Bumblebee seemed a little embarrassed, so he tried to salvage the situation, saying, "That's an evil Decepticon Transformers, with Soundwave's special ability."
Alvin sighed and rubbed his forehead. "But surely you can pinpoint its location based on the residual radiation from the 'AllSpark,' right?"
"Sure, but I need to get closer."
This time, Bumblebee was much more confident, even a little proud, saying, "As long as it's not in an environment isolated from energy and radiation, I can search a distance of about 1,500 meters!"
Thank goodness, at least it's finally somewhat useful.
Otherwise, Alvin would probably have to consider whether to just partner with the Decepticons.
Before long, Bumblebee, carrying Alvin, drove back into Los Angeles, where a major battle had taken place the day before.
The streets of Los Angeles still bear the marks of yesterday's fierce battle. Huge craters are visible everywhere on the collapsed walls of buildings in the combat zone, and metal shell casings are scattered all over the ground. Meanwhile, United States. government officials have put up warning banners prohibiting passage in various places.
Heavily armed guards refused to allow any unauthorized personnel to approach the combat zone, and numerous FBI agents in black suits were searching for something.
"They are also looking for fragments of the AllSpark."
Sitting in the car, Alvin watched the busy FBI agents and immediately guessed their objective. "Can you sense the location of the AllSpark fragments?"
"No."
The bumblebee tried, but there was still no reaction.
Alvin wasn't surprised. If it were that easy, the fragments would have been found long ago; why make such a big fuss?
Just then, the government's voice came through the news channel. "Yesterday, the evil Autobots and several terrorist groups invaded Los Angeles, causing thousands of casualties. However, with the help of the Dreadnought Decepticons, our forces successfully killed the enemy leader, codenamed Optimus Prime."
On the radio, they showered the Decepticons with compliments, a veritable rainbow of flattery, which nearly made Bumblebee furious.
But then, the radio host revealed crucial information. "The leader of the terrorist organization was a civilian dissatisfied with the government, named Sam Witwicky, who was killed by the military yesterday!"
The president urged the public to remain calm, assuring them that the government would protect everyone. He also advised that if anyone encountered suspicious vehicles on the road, they should immediately call to report them!
Sam... is dead?!
Yesterday, Megatron's furious slap was clearly beyond the force a human could withstand, and the tragic protagonist died in such a ridiculous and absurd way.
"Isn't it all about fate?" Alvin increasingly felt that in Transformers, only "Optimus Prime" was the eternal protagonist, while the others were merely temporary characters.
The male protagonist is dead, and the trail seems to have gone cold.
Bumblebee seemed to be grieving for Sam's death and Optimus Prime's sacrifice, almost spraying oil out of the radio. Alvin patted the steering wheel and comforted it, "Calm down, Bumblebee, this is Los Angeles, don't reveal your identity."
Bumblebee calmed down considerably, but his voice remained low. "What should we do next, Commander?"
Let me think about it...
As Alvin pondered where to begin his search for clues to the "AllSpark," Bumblebee seemed to have discovered something; its tires screeched violently against the ground, and the exhaust roar suddenly intensified.
"Commander, I... I just sensed it!"
Bumblebee shouted excitedly, "It's nearby! There's a signal from the 'AllSpark,' though it's very weak, it can't be wrong!"
"Found it?!"
Alvin was stunned for a few seconds, not expecting to find it so quickly. Could it be because Bumblebee had a high luck stat?
But then he made a quick judgment. "Chase after it, Bumblebee!"
Buzz--!
Bumblebee immediately turned around and sped towards the "AllSpark," leaving a trail of exhaust fumes in the street.
"The 'AllSpark'... is moving away!" Bumblebee exclaimed in surprise.
"Get away?" Alvin's eyes flickered, and he immediately guessed the possibility. "Someone must have found the AllSpark and is driving some kind of vehicle."
"This is bad, Commander." Bumblebee's voice suddenly became tense. "I've detected the Decepticons' signal, and they've also discovered the AllSpark fragment."
He would find it strange if the Decepticons weren't there.
"Try to hide your identity and be careful..." Alvin said calmly, a hint of anticipation in his voice. He hoped to run into Starscream.
On the overpass, a helicopter hovered at low altitude, chasing after a fleeing car.
Suddenly, just as the car was about to turn, a shell fell from the sky, directly blasting the overpass apart, without any regard for whether it would affect civilians.
The violent explosion severed the viaduct in half.
The car was overturned by the blast wave and rolled down the bridge, which was more than ten meters high. It rolled over and over again. If the car hadn't been so sturdy, it probably would have been smashed into a pancake!
The helicopter's propeller made a huge noise, deformed in mid-air, and its massive body crashed onto the lawn. Its right hand transformed into a circular saw, cleaving the falling car in two!
Another fighter jet flew in, transformed again, and crashed down – it was none other than Starscream!
"Hand over the AllSpark!"
The two Decepticons Transformers teamed up to dismantle the car and then pulled out their target from inside: a woman with long blonde hair.
"Let me go, you damned Decepticons!"
Although the woman was held in the Starscream's grasp, her face showed not only instinctive fear but also, and perhaps more importantly, anger.
"The fragment of the AllSpark is on her!" Surfboard came up from the side, glaring at Starscream with displeasure. "I found her first, Starscream!"
However, Starscream chuckled coldly, gripping the woman and turning his head away. "No, surfboard, I spotted her too. Now is not the time to boast."
Surfboard seemed angry at Starscream's blatant attempt to steal credit, but was helpless. He could only mutter curses and glare at the woman, "Hand over the AllSpark, or do you want to be torn to pieces? Human!"
At that moment, Alvin, who was on the viaduct, got off the Camaro and looked at the two Decepticons in the distance, especially Starscream, with a smile on his face, "Bumblebee, want to avenge Optimus Prime?"
I've finally caught you, darling... Starscream!
What a small world! We meet again!
