Megatron, Decepticons, Attack!

Megatron was skeptical of the Fallen's promise.

It wasn't that it doubted the Fallen's abilities; after all, he was one of the original seven Supreme Transformers, so he certainly had some power. The main issue was... it questioned the Fallen's character.

The Decepticons' excellent traditions are well known to everyone.

If Megatron, the leader of a bunch of traitors, could be easily fooled, he would have been killed by Starscream Megatron. How could he have held the position of Decepticons leader until today?

Of course, Megatron wouldn't be foolish enough to refute the Fallen at this time, since the two sides are still in the "honeymoon phase" of their cooperation.

Gazing at the Fallen, who lay slumbering on the Mechanical throne, Megatron's eyes flashed with a cold glint. He sneered inwardly and slowly walked away.

It transformed into a Cybertron fighter and sped away from the Luna.

As it approached Earth's orbit, the Soundwave, transformed into a satellite, immediately transmitted a message: "Master, there's bad news."

"The AllSpark fragment was stolen by the Autobots?"

Megatron's voice was deep, conveying his deep dissatisfaction. However, given that Soundwave were in the minority and his extremely loyal subordinates were few, he couldn't easily vent his anger. So, he could only transfer his rage onto Starscream: "Very well, it seems... I have to teach Starscream a lesson!"

As the leader of the Decepticons, Megatron's daily routine consists of eating, sleeping, and beating up Starscream.

Who told Starscream to be a traitor?

It's poorly disguised; you can see the rebellious intent in its eyes at a glance. A lackey like this needs to be given a good physical scolding regularly to keep it in line!

"Master, Starscream and the surfboard are dead."

Soundwave said somewhat awkwardly.

"What? Dead?!"

Megatron was stunned, and suddenly felt a pang of sadness.

It's not that I'm sad because Starscream died, it's just that I'm a little sad because I've lost such a "punching bag".

Regardless, although Starscream is utterly rebellious, one thing is undeniable: Starscream is an excellent subordinate. Otherwise, how could he have survived until now?

"How did Starscream die?" Megatron was instantly enraged. Transforming from his Cybertron fighter, he grabbed the satellite-like Soundwave and demanded, "Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on him?"

"Master, my detection signal was suddenly blocked for a few minutes..." Soundwave said guiltily, "At the time, my attention was completely drawn to another group of Autobots, and I didn't notice that Starscream and Surfboard's signals had disappeared. When I came to my senses... they were already dead."

After hearing the explanation, Megatron, though still somewhat angry, suppressed his rage and asked, "Who killed them?"

Anyone would be surprised to learn that in just a few minutes, in the blink of an eye, Starscream and the surfboard were dead.

Even Megatron didn't expect this.

The combination of Starscream and a surfboard, while not particularly powerful, shouldn't be something that can be dealt with in just a few minutes. There must be something wrong with it!

"I had the human military bring the corpses of Starscream and Surfboard back to base for 'Scalpel' to examine." Soundwave paused for half a second for no apparent reason.

"Go on."

Megatron said in a deep voice.

"Based on the 'surgical' examination results... it's very strange."

The Soundwave wave grew more serious. "The main cause of Starscream's death was the 'decomposition' of its energy core. That's a product of some kind of technology superior to human technology. Even we... don't know much about that kind of technology that can completely decompose deformable metal."

Upon hearing this, Megatron suddenly recalled the Fallen's warning to him, "Alien life in Starscream's report?"

"The report from the scalpel states that there is a 99% chance the attacker possesses advanced weaponry capable of inflicting fatal damage on us." Soundwave believes that the killer, as described in the Starscream report, is highly likely to be "alien life."

Megatron fell silent.

As the leader of the Decepticons, its ability to defeat the Autobots largely stemmed from its caution.

Assuming that the alien life form in Starscream's report is indeed real, then it's possible that they possess some kind of technology superior to Cybertron's, which would have allowed them to kill Starscream and the surfboard in just a few minutes, taking advantage of the intervals in their Soundwave tracking of the Autobots' signals.

"Did Starscream and Surfboard report anything before they died?" Megatron suspected that they might have found the AllSpark fragment, but it was ultimately stolen.

"There are no reports, Master."

After finishing his sentence, Soundwave seemed to remember something and continued, "But I checked the nearby surveillance footage, and Starscream and the surfboard were chasing a human, and the location was... Los Angeles!"

"As expected... he made all the Decepticons abandon their pursuit of the Autobots and focus all their efforts on capturing the human woman Mikaela Baines!"

Megatron already knew from the Fallen that the information about the AllSpark fragment had been transferred to the human woman. Combined with the information from the Soundwave, it could roughly deduce the whole story.

Starscream and his surfboard discovered radiation from fragments of the AllSpark in Los Angeles, but during the struggle to retrieve them, they were ambushed and killed by "alien life"!

In other words...

The goal of that "alien life" is also the information about the AllSpark. As long as we find "Mikaela", we won't have to worry about not finding that mysterious alien life!

"Send the Soundwave Warrior."

Megatron grinned maliciously and said, "Once we find the target, report the coordinates immediately. I'll make him regret ever making an enemy of the Decepticons!"

"Yes, my master!"

Even though the Autobots didn't need to refuel or worry about driver fatigue, it still took them nearly thirty hours to reach Washington State.

A significant portion of that time was wasted on minimizing risks and on orders from the United States president to deploy FBI agents in various states and cities, using radiation detection devices to inspect every car that entered or left the premises.

The most troublesome thing isn't that, but Mikaela.

Alvin finally understood why women should never sit in the passenger seat during long drives.

I need to go to the toilet one minute, and I need to eat the next.

The level of trouble was simply the most troublesome part of the entire journey for Alvin. If it weren't for the fact that Mikaela was human and had some crucial information in her mind, he would have kicked Mikaela out of the car long ago.

Having finally arrived in Washington, Mikaela couldn't wait to find a motel to shower, claiming she hadn't showered for three days. Even if you had a gun to her head, she had to take a shower first.

Women... so troublesome!

Alvin leaned against the door, waiting for Mikaela to finish washing up.

Then he saw Mikaela, wrapped in a bath towel, come out of the bathroom and wink at him. "Don't you... want to do something to me?"

To be fair, Mikaela has Megan Fox's figure and looks, and is indeed a stunner, but unfortunately... he hates freckles.

Especially with his eyesight so sharp that he could even see the distribution of freckles on Mikaela's face, he lost even more of his appetite.

He's a perfectly upright gentleman, okay?

"I'm sorry, we have reproductive dysbiosis."

Alvin tossed the clothes over and said coldly, "Besides, your looks and figure don't meet my standards. If you're really that horny, I don't mind going outside and finding a black man to satisfy you."

"..."

Mikaela stared wide-eyed, looking incredulous.

She was rejected again?

Actually, ever since she was rescued by Starscream, Mikaela had become somewhat infatuated with Alvin. Who could resist an Asian man with the handsome looks of the reader and the air of nobility?

But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get the other person to even look at her, which was a huge blow to Mikaela, who was usually very confident in her charm!

"Are you... even a man?!" Mikaela was exasperated. She was practically naked; according to Hollywood plots, shouldn't the male and female leads be having sex right now? "I'm giving you ten seconds to get dressed and come out."

Alvin squinted, giving Mikaela a threatening look. "Otherwise, I'll call the black guys downstairs up to satisfy your sexual desires. I'm sure they'll be happy to do you that."

"..."

Mikaela was so frightened that she shuddered.

The thought of those greasy black men on top of her made her want to vomit. Without a word, she started getting dressed. She didn't think Alvin was bluffing; that bastard... he really was capable of such a thing!

Why didn't you just do this sooner? Why did you have to be threatened?

Alvin turned and slammed the door shut as he went downstairs. After silently counting to ten, he saw a flustered Mikaela, dressed and running frantically down the stairs.

"Bumblebee, let's go to the National Space Museum."

Alvin reclined the chair, sat in the passenger seat, put his legs up on it, and closed his eyes.

Mikaela sat in the driver's seat with her head drooping. Although she didn't actually need to drive, she still needed to pretend to drive in order to avoid suspicion.

Before long, they arrived at the museum.

"Should we go in?" Mikaela glanced at Alvin, who seemed to be sleeping beside her, and asked in a low voice.

The Bio-armor's detection mode allowed Alvin to pinpoint his target—the museum—so he said, "Let's wander around for a bit and come back tonight."

While the security at the National Museum isn't particularly tight—it would be easy to force one open—it would inevitably cause even greater trouble, contradicting their objectives.

Night fell.

Bumblebee returned to the museum. Alvin activated his magnetic field, enveloping the entire museum and temporarily blocking signals before walking directly in through the main entrance.

Security guard?

What kind of security guard?

The security guard who had just spotted them was about to issue a warning when he felt a sudden heaviness in his head and collapsed to the ground.

"Won't we get wanted if we do this?"

Mikaela was genuinely terrified; she felt that after this was over, she would most likely end up in jail.

"It's okay, Mikaela," Bumblebee comforted her "thoughtfully." "You're wanted for crimes against humanity."

"Wh... when did this happen?"

For a moment, Mikaela felt like the sky had fallen.

"It must have been the Decepticons who did it the day before yesterday. They already know you have information about the AllSpark on you," Bumblebee said.

Mikaela looked like a wilted eggplant, completely deflated, and muttered listlessly, "I... I'm wanted, I... I'm an anti-human?"

She never imagined that simply promising Sam to keep that fragment safe would turn her into... a wanted criminal for crimes against humanity?!

Her father was at most a thief, but by her generation, it had become a crime against humanity, truly setting a new record!

You're good at comforting people, Bumblebee.

Looking at the dejected Mikaela, and considering that this woman still had some use, Alvin comforted her, "Don't worry, once we defeat the Decepticons, you'll be the savior of humanity, and the president will even give you an award."

"Really? Really?"

A glimmer of hope appeared in Mikaela's eyes.

"Did I lie to you?"

Alvin glanced at her, then continued his search for a target.

Soon, a jet-black fighter with a streamlined body came into view. "Blackbird SR-71 reconnaissance aircraft... I've finally found you."

"Commander, is this the target you've been looking for?"

Bumblebee scanned it and couldn't believe that such an old-fashioned fighter jet was worth thirty hours of their time.

"Heh, don't be in such a hurry, Bumblebee."

Alvin nudged Mikaela and said calmly, "Go, retrieve the fragment of the AllSpark."

"Won't there be any danger?"

In this world, Mikaela has far fewer experiences than in the movie, so she doesn't possess courage. She's more like a child with a bit of an adventurous spirit who suddenly stumbles into conflict.

"With me here, what are you afraid of?"

Alvin frowned and urged her, "Don't waste time. My shielding time is limited. If the Decepticons find out, that will be the real danger."

"Okay, fine..."

Mikaela swallowed hard. She trusted Alvin, took out the AllSpark fragment from her pocket, and slowly approached the Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft.

Just a few steps away, the fragment of the AllSpark in her hand seemed to be drawn by some force, flying directly out and hitting the Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft.

Buzz--!

A unique surge of transformative energy flowed from the fragments into the Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft, causing Bumblebee to widen its eyes in surprise.

The next moment, the Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft seemed to be activated, awakening from the long years, and its body began to transform. However, perhaps because it had been asleep for too long, each step of its transformation was like that of an elderly person, slow and laborious.

Meanwhile, as numerous parts fell off during the transformation process, the Blackbird finally completed its transformation.

"Cough, cough..."

Jetfire coughed laboriously, his long face adorned with a metal pendant resembling a beard. Leaning on a cane, he hunched over, staring at them. "What time is it? Are you Decepticons or Autobots?"

"Commander, it's Decepticons!"

Bumblebee saw the symbol on Jetfire's body, immediately conjured an energy cannon, and its facial armor snapped shut, instantly entering battle mode, warily watching its opponent.

"Don't be alarmed, Bumblebee."

Alvin appeared calm, smiling as he looked at Jetfire: "Let me introduce you. This is one of the earliest Decepticons, your senior, Jetfire."

"Oh, looks like Autobots."

Seeing Bumblebee's intense reaction, Jetfire easily guessed its identity, but it still bent down with some curiosity, staring at Alvin: "You... you're strange. You're not human, nor are you Transformers. Why does it call you Commander?"

"Because..."

Alvin was about to speak when he frowned slightly, his gaze shifting to the back of the museum, his eyes narrowing. "It seems I'll have to wait a while before I can answer your question."

A human in a security guard uniform suddenly emerged from the darkness, looking at them with a strange expression, a smile appearing on his face, "Found... you!"

In space.

Soundwave opened his eyes, revealing a hint of murderous intent.

"Decepticons... Attack!"

The next moment, all eight metal landing capsules, like meteors, streaked across near-Earth orbit, leaving clear and bright trails, and plummeted straight towards Washington State!
