#576 - Chapter 13 Optimus Prime Arrives
Several Decepticon medics, their mechanical bodies gleaming coldly under the lights, firmly secured Sam's limbs and head.
Scalpel's originally ordinary mechanical claws slowly began to transform, eventually becoming a sharp electric saw. The high-speed rotating teeth glinted with a chilling light, inching closer and closer to Sam's brow bone, as if ready to slice open his skull in the next second.
Sam was horrified. "No, no! Please, stop! You can have anything, just leave my brain alone!"
"Bang!" The dilapidated factory's glass window was violently smashed open, as if a rampaging beast had used all its strength. The deafening noise echoed through the air. Then, a dazzling yellow figure appeared abruptly like a lightning bolt. It was Bumblebee. With incredible agility, he raised his hand and fired two powerful pulse cannons. The shells, with a sharp whistling sound, struck towards Megatron and Starscream.
Seeing this, Megatron and Starscream didn't dare to be careless. They quickly raised their weapons and desperately blocked the attack. For a time, the sounds of metal clashing echoed, and sparks flew everywhere.
Just as everyone was locked in this tense standoff, suddenly, the ceiling was struck violently again. Countless shards of glass rained down, revealing a large hole. Immediately after, a massive, eleven-meter-tall robot jumped in like a giant descending from the sky. The ground trembled slightly upon its landing.
This robot sported a cool red and blue paint job, instantly recognizable as Optimus Prime, who had indeed come to support his comrades.
Immediately afterward, a barrage of dense bullets rained down, precisely controlled within a mere ten centimeters of Sam's body, creating a chilling sense of danger.
The two medical robots didn't even have time to dodge before being shattered by the merciless bullets, their parts scattering everywhere.
After successfully breaking free from his restraints, Sam immediately displayed an astonishing burst of strength. He mercilessly grabbed the scalpel that had threatened him and kicked it away with all his might. The scalpel drew an arc in the air and disappeared into the dark corner.
Optimus Prime looked at Megatron before him, a complex light flashing in his eyes. He said loudly, "Megatron! Now that you're alive again, why not catch up with an old friend?" While he spoke seemingly affectionate words, his Gatling cannon never ceased, continuously spewing out scorching fire, causing sparks to erupt from Megatron's body, leaving him in a sorry state.
Megatron glared at Optimus Prime, his eyes flashing with resentment and anger. "You detestable traitor! You've come to obstruct me again and again! Your actions are unforgivable!" Megatron's heart burned with anger, his eyes flashing with a fierce light as he engaged in a fierce brawl with Optimus Prime.
In this narrow and cramped factory, the Decepticons' prized mobility advantage couldn't be utilized. Megatron and Starscream found themselves in a difficult battle, tightly entangled by Optimus Prime and unable to break free. Starscream was even kicked in the head by Optimus Prime, nearly having his head knocked off.
At this moment, Sam and the other two saw an opportunity and quickly slipped out of the factory. Bumblebee followed closely behind, unhesitatingly covering their retreat.
However, Surfboard, which had been lingering nearby, received Megatron's order and suddenly appeared. Hovering in mid-air, it revealed its menacing weapons and launched a fierce attack on the retreating group. A string of large-caliber machine gun fire rained down from the sky like a storm, forcing them to scatter and flee in a sorry state.
Sam was forced back by the gunfire, eventually retreating back into the factory. Anxiously, he shouted, "Bumblebee, take Mikaela and the others away from here first. It's too dangerous here!"
Hearing Sam's call, Bumblebee didn't hesitate. His massive body instantly began to transform, and in the blink of an eye, he became the familiar Chevrolet Camaro, then sped off like a bolt of lightning. Seeing this, Surfboard immediately chased after Bumblebee's figure like a wolf, gradually disappearing into the distance.
Standing inside the factory, Sam wondered with lingering fear where he could hide to be safe. Just then, Optimus Prime appeared before his eyes like a savior. His massive hand gently reached out, steadily scooping up Sam, then effortlessly stuffed him into the spacious driver's seat in his chest. Immediately afterward, his massive body began to transform, turning into a huge truck in the blink of an eye, and sped away with Sam.
Just then, Megatron, like a raging beast, smashed a huge hole in the sturdy factory, then rushed out like a bolt of lightning. His massive body instantly transformed, and with a flash of light, he became an awe-inspiring Cybertronian war vehicle. The war vehicle exuded a cold and sharp aura, its treads leaving deep marks on the ground, staring intently ahead, chasing closely behind Optimus Prime.
Its menacing turret kept turning, constantly firing dazzling pulse cannons, the shells drawing fiery trails in the air, as if to turn everything to ashes. At the same time, Megatron also sent an urgent message through the internal communication system: "Megatron calling all Decepticons! All members who receive this message, come immediately. Optimus Prime is alone. This is our best chance to eliminate him. Do not let him escape!"
A moment after they left, Starscream, who had already been kicked around and was feeling dizzy, staggered out of a corner of the factory, rubbing his head and muttering in dissatisfaction, "How did it turn out like this?" After realizing what was happening, he shook his head vigorously, as if to shake off those confused thoughts, and then said firmly, "Starscream received!" With that, a flash of light appeared on his body, and he transformed into a fierce F22 fighter jet again, the roar of the engine deafening. He took off and flew into the distance, his eyes flashing with the light of revenge.
Optimus Prime sped away with Sam, with Megatron in hot pursuit, driven by anger and obsession. The seemingly clumsy Cybertronian tank now demonstrated surprising agility, its speed no less than that of a speeding car, easily coping with various complex terrains and conditions, directly crushing through the forest, taking a shortcut to chase Optimus Prime.
