Take Down 20 Cybertronian Mechanical Life-Forms
"Where is Section 7?" Sam looked at the military helicopter in front of him, somewhat at a loss.
Simmons glanced at Sam and said smugly, "A place you can never imagine, never."
"So what exactly is the Section 7 responsible for? Aliens?"
"Hehe, I have no obligation to answer these questions for you."
At the airport, heavily armed soldiers stood in orderly rows, and armored vehicles and Tank were all available. Once on his own turf, Simmons reverted to his arrogant and domineering ways, his nostrils practically visible when he spoke.
Russell muttered to himself, "Judging from the instruments that the agent can detect Transformers, it's clear that this isn't the first time he's come into contact with extraterrestrial mechanical life forms. The giant Iceman that Captain Witwicky discovered back then is very likely in their hands, and the AllSpark has probably been transferred to the so-called Section 7."
This statement, seemingly an answer to Sam's question, was actually addressed to Bumblebee, with the intention of having him inform Optimus Prime and the others. Their wasted trip was one thing, but if the Decepticon seized the opportunity and stole the AllSpark, it would be game over.
Simmons's eyes twitched, he snorted coldly, pushed open the car door, ordered the soldiers to restrain Bumblebee, and boarded the helicopter with Russell and the other two.
Meanwhile, another group arrived at the airport by helicopter. The two groups met up, and the five helicopters headed into the night sky.
"That man was the Department of Defense. I've seen him on TV." Sam was somewhat excited, thinking that he might be heading to a secret base, something like Area 51.
"That's right, that is indeed the Department of Defense." The chubby black man in the back row said smugly, introducing himself. "I am the Minister of Department of Defense's advisor... his advisor."
There were five passengers in the helicopter Russell was traveling in. The Department of Defense and Simmons were not there. In addition to Mikaela and Sam, there was a blonde woman and a fat black man.
These two were computer experts, highly skilled in signal tracking and analysis, especially the unassuming but top-tier black man. They were the first to discover the true reason for the Decepticon' intrusion into the America military security defense system, letting the America know that these aliens had ill intentions and that Section 7 had been exposed, requiring its contents to be moved as soon as possible.
"So, buddy, who are you three?" The chubby man was puzzled. He was a highly skilled technical expert; the government needed him to analyze signals. Russell and the other two were dressed plainly, and one of them even had a slovenly face. Could they also be hidden masters of their craft?
"I bought a car, and it turned out to be an alien."
Wow, you're so lucky!
"I bought a pair of glasses from him that recorded the coordinates left by aliens."
Wow, you're lucky too!
"I'm just passing by."
"Wow, oh..."
At dawn, the group first took a helicopter and then a car, and finally arrived at their destination: Hoover Dam, located on the border of Nevada and Arizona, where the secret base of Section 7 was built.
"Young man, Agent Simmons says you've made contact with aliens and even befriended them?" At the entrance to the secret base, the Department of Defense asked Russell. According to Simmons, it was simply unbelievable that aliens would obey Russell's orders.
"Minister, we didn't do anything. They gave us respect, and we gave them respect in return. That's all." Russell said, pointing to the Bumblebee next to him, which was surrounded and would be met with gunfire if it made any move.
"Thank you for your guidance, but young man, we have no choice but to do this; it concerns the safety of the planet." The Department of Defense smiled and said frankly, "Please tell me everything you know; this is truly important."
Russell grinned. "The whole truth has been told to Agent Simmons, and now he is the one who knows the most about the truth."
The minister's face darkened upon hearing this, because the situation had escalated and Simmons did not have the authority to know so much; he had violated the rules.
Simmons, his face grim, led the group into the Section 7 base. He had a premonition that he would have to find a new job after this incident. Due to a confidentiality agreement, his resume for the first half of his life could only include work experience in security; in other words, he was about to become a security guard.
As the group entered the lower level of the base, Simmons walked at the front and introduced himself to the accompanying Department of Defense: "Sir, I will now take you to access the nation's top secrets, non-biological extraterrestrials, or NBE for short."
Passing through a passageway with thick concrete walls, the group arrived at a spacious underground plaza, where busy staff and various mechanical operating equipment could be seen everywhere. However, the most eye-catching thing was the giant robot standing in the very center.
He was even taller than Optimus Prime, estimated to be about 10 meters tall. Due to the continuous cooling from the surrounding air, his body was covered with a thick layer of frost. Even so, it could not conceal his War Machine -like physique and his ferocious face.
Megatron!
Megatron, the Decepticon leader who wreaked havoc on the universe and the most notorious warmonger in Cybertron's history, was actually frozen in an underground graveyard by humans. No wonder Megatron so grumpy in the morning; he wanted to destroy humanity as soon as he woke up. How shameful!
"My God, this is..." The Department of Defense was stunned and didn't know how to describe it. He was completely unaware of such an important secret and began to doubt that he was a fake minister.
"Sir, this is NBE-1. We transported him here from the Arctic in 1934 and developed Project Iceman around him." Simmons said in a deep voice, "He is the source of modern technology. Chips, Radar, automobiles, spaceflight, and so on are all reverse engineered from him. He is the greatest discovery in human history."
"Agent Simmons, I don't mean to be your enemy, but his name is Megatron, the leader of the Cybertron Decepticon," Sam said hastily. In Optimus Prime's description, Megatron was ruthless, and he was a little flustered to face this monster.
"On Earth, he's called NBE-1, that's what we've always called him." Simmons's face was grim. Sam hadn't really gone against him; instead, he had directly slapped him in the face.
"Agent Simmons, his name doesn't matter, I just want to say that we need to stock up on liquid nitrogen. If this big guy comes back to life, we're in big trouble." Russell suddenly interjected, "And the AllSpark. Section 7 must have gotten its hands on it too. Be careful it doesn't get stolen."
Simmons asserted, "That's impossible. This is Section 7; we have the best defense system."
Let's hope so!
"Everyone, can you tell me about this giant robot?" the minister, who had been left out, asked. Everyone else knew something, but he, the minister, knew nothing.
"His name is Megatron..."
Seeing the minister looking at him, Sam swallowed hard and recounted the information he had obtained from Optimus Prime word for word. "Once Megatron obtains the AllSpark, all the machines on Earth will be transformed into mechanical life forms. This is his goal: to build an army to invade the universe, and we humans will lose our living space."
The minister looked shocked and turned to Simmons: "The AllSpark... could it be here too?"
"Yes!"
Minister. "..."
Who came up with the stupid idea of locking invaders and deadly weapons together?
Simmons dared not look the minister in the eye. When he learned the truth, he realized that something was wrong, but it was a secret order issued by President Hoover back then, and he had no authority to make changes.
"Simmons, is the AllSpark safe?" the minister hurriedly asked.
"It's very safe. We've hidden it with the Hoover Dam and wrapped it in a layer of concrete four football fields thick. No human or alien race can detect the energy it emits..."
"Energy?"
"Regarding this, please follow me."
A commanding observation room overlooks a vast, hollowed-out mountain through floor-to-ceiling windows, where a massive AllSpark, comparable in size to a small mountain, sits. Its surface is covered with mysterious and enigmatic patterns that occasionally shimmer with dazzling light.
Everyone was drawn to the enormous Cosmic Cube, crowding around the window in stunned silence. Russell, however, didn't join the fray; upon seeing the AllSpark, World Quest was triggered.
[Ding! Host has triggered World Quest]
[World Quest: Personally End the Cybertron Machine Lifeforms 0/20]
Mission failed, forever trapped in this world, hunted by Decepticon and Autobots.
"Cybertron mechanical lifeforms, and we need to take down 20 of them. There's no standard that they have to be Decepticon, which means the Autobots can also do it... Come to think of it, even with the Autobots in Transformers 1, there weren't 20..." Russell's eyes lit up. This mission wasn't bad. It was highly autonomous and could be dragged out until Transformers 2 and 3, giving him plenty of time to recharge and further his studies.
Beneath the hollow in the mountain, in a corner unnoticed by everyone, a smooth mechanical head extended six small claws and crawled down to the base of the AllSpark.
Confusion!
This little thing, locked in a safe, was taken to Section 7 by agents and escaped. After a few twists and turns, it discovered the location of the AllSpark and Megatron.
A crackling electrical current flashed, and his confused and damaged body was restored. He bared his teeth and let out a monstrous laugh before dashing into the ventilation duct. At the same time, a signal that only Decepticon could receive was transmitted outwards.
"The AllSpark has been discovered! Megatron has been discovered!"
Almost instantly, the signal sent by the confusion was responded to, and at an America. air force base, an F-22 Raptor jet fighter accelerated and began to take off.
"I am Starscream, all Decepticon, prepare to move out!"
"Roadblocks on the road!"
"Noise! Reporting!"
"Bonecrusher received!"
"Dizziness, please join the ranks!"
Finally, all the Decepticon shouted in unison, "Megatron!"
Meanwhile, Optimus Prime and the other Autobots, having received Bumblebee's location, were also rushing to Hoover Dam. Lacking air superiority, their mobility was weaker than the Decepticon, but Starscream, the fastest of them all, was already halfway there.
