A Strong Start, a Weak Finish (Part 1)

Just as Sun Cheng had easily dodged Onslaught's Sonic Stun Gun, Onslaught had effortlessly evaded the shots from his plasma cannon as well.

In an instant, Sun Cheng realized that his plan to end the battle quickly by relying on the advantage of energy weapons had fallen through.

Onslaught had clearly realized it too. As the two hulking figures rapidly closed the distance, they tacitly put away their energy weapons.

When the two furious, hot-tempered war machines collided, each of them held an alloy greatsword—different in appearance, but both highly practical.

Bang!

The greatswords slammed together, and Sun Cheng took a step back.

In the contest of strength against Onslaught, his new body—or rather, his still incomplete ability to unleash this body's full potential—had left him at a disadvantage.

Onslaught sneered and swung his greatsword, using his advantage to slash at Sun Cheng's shoulder. His words were just as unforgiving. "Is this all that gives you the nerve to defy me?"

Sun Cheng raised his longsword and barely blocked the strike.

He did not argue. Instead, he devoted himself entirely to the battle.

Onslaught was somewhat weaker than Sun Cheng had expected, at most only slightly stronger than he was now.

Even if Onslaught could temporarily suppress him with his greater combat experience, killing Sun Cheng would be no easy task.

"Perfect. I'll use you to temper myself!"

After briefly sweeping his attention across the surrounding battlefield, Sun Cheng refocused and threw himself wholeheartedly into his fight with Onslaught.

He was not worried about the battle around them.

His side had two elite warriors, Thunder and Frenzy, along with more than twenty advanced warriors.

Although the four members of Onslaught's Combaticons were fairly strong, victory would not come easily for them.

Especially Thunder. Having inherited most of Dizzy's combat experience
