Transformers: Leader's Proof - Fragile, but Hard to Kill

Chapter 142 Black-Faced God: Backup Hidden Energy! Activate (not really)

Just as Rosa was working hard to repair the hibernation device, news came from inside that Blackface had woken up. Rosa put down what she was doing and heard gunshots as soon as she entered the hall. What was going on?

For some reason, the Black-Faced God was covered in equipment... Rosa looked on with a puzzled expression as the Black-Faced God, whose eyes had turned red, attacked the others.

At this moment, seeing a bunch of cannons transforming from Blackface's hands and back, along with his red eyes and mechanical speech... Bumblebee immediately hallucinated Rosa, who had previously lost control.

Although Rosa wasn't red-eyed at the time.

"Fugitive suspects should be forcibly controlled and put into hibernation..." Blackface said, then moved a short distance towards Bumblebee and the others. Bumblebee immediately realized that Blackface mistook them for Decepticons.

Why did I think of Rosa again? Even she can be indiscriminate in her dealings with friends and enemies.

As Bumblebee was thinking this, he saw Blackface fire directly at Skystorm and Slippery Stream. They didn't have time to dodge, and just as they were about to be hit, the Solver symbol appeared in front of them, forcibly twisting the bullets.

This was the scene she saw when she arrived in the hall. Rosa used the solver to twist the bullets and shoot them to both sides. Upon seeing this, the Black-Faced God immediately turned his gaze toward Rosa.

Then she immediately fired a shot, but the bullet was caught on the spot by Rosa's claws.

"Sizzle—sizzle—" The high-speed bullet was firmly clamped by the claw's tip; it continued to spin, making a sound as it rubbed against the claw's tip...

Seeing that the Black-Faced God was about to fire, Rosa immediately used a solver to keep him suspended in the air, then controlled his hands and the cannon on his back, preventing him from firing anything.

"Rosa! Don't hurt Blackface! He's just temporarily out of control. He's still our ally!" Bumblebee shouted. Rosa, of course, knew this and turned to give Bumblebee a reassuring look.

Rosa believed that the Black-Faced God should be suppressed now, so she confidently pointed his hands and the cannon barrel on his back at the sky to make sure that he would not fire and hurt his own people.

Then she positioned the Black-Faced God face down, allowing Danny Clay to attempt to deactivate the God's current state, but unexpectedly...

Suddenly, the Black-Faced God transformed into another device and fired it directly at Rosa. Rosa instinctively used the solver to freeze the device in mid-air.

It turned out that the thing was a small-range weapon. A huge electric current exploded around Rosa, and the parts exploded due to the overload of the high voltage current.

She was instantly stunned by the electric shock; the blue optical glasses flickered, her knees buckled, and then her entire body fell forward...

[Fatal Error]

[Current overload]

Her screen closed, displaying those two lines of text... Black smoke was billowing from her body; it was unclear whether it was from the electrical heating effect or from the repair process...

Fortunately, Blackface God had already entered a dormant state upon landing when it lost control of the solver.

Backup hidden energy source (not really)

Danny immediately went over and cut the misconnected wire with scissors. Seeing that the black-faced man had no reaction, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Bumblebee hurriedly picked up Rosa and saw her head drooping helplessly in his arms. He quickly straightened her up and let her lean against him.

Next, pop-up windows for "Fatal Error" and "Current Overload" flashed, and finally the "Rebooting" screen appeared.

But then the interface suddenly disappeared again, and the "Current Overload" message reappeared.

Bumblebee tentatively tapped her screen, but there was no response. It continued to restart after the "Current Overload" message disappeared, only to be interrupted by "Current Overload" once again.

It's possible that there was still some residual electricity in her body, which affected some of her parts, causing the circuits to keep shutting down.

"Lieutenant! Rosa, she!" Iron Fist looked anxiously at Rosa in Bumblebee's arms, and realized the problem when he saw the constantly flashing screen.

Is this... a connection issue causing the login to be stuck?

After being stuck on "current overload" several times during a series of restarts, the pop-up window on her screen finally stopped prompting her to restart after the last "current overload" message and started a self-check with a progress bar below.

"It's alright... Put the core in... It shouldn't be a big problem." Seeing Rosa start the self-check, he knew there was no problem.

Having gone through such a big ordeal before, and still managed to survive, it's just that the remaining electricity has temporarily held us back. What major problem could there be?

The bumblebee finally relaxed, gently stroking Rosa's cheek and letting out a breath...

The black screen displaying the progress bar reflected Bumblebee's own visor. The progress bar, moving slowly, was increasing at a rate of 0.01%. Bumblebee slowly stood up, holding her in his arms.

The Blackface God had already been lifted back onto the small shed, which was the operating room, by Danny and the two Mini-Gons, Skystorm and Sliding.

Danny became increasingly careful as he repaired the Blackface, making sure he didn't touch the wrong wire again. He also discovered that the Blackface's energy was almost completely depleted, apparently by the previous electric current.

To prevent the flame from going out due to the exhaustion of energy, Danny quickly sent Skystorm and Sliding Stream back with some super energy. Meanwhile, Bumblebee, holding Rosa, stood up and walked to her coffin life support device.

After identity verification, the life support system automatically activated. Bumblebee put Rosa inside to rest and then reassured everyone that everything was fine.

Next, we will discuss what exactly happened to the Black-Faced God.

They had never realized that the Black-Faced God possessed so much equipment...

"If that's the case... what if even he himself doesn't know?" Bumblebee pondered, his expression somewhat grave.

"Sir...is it possible that Blackface himself has all this equipment?" Ironfist and several other Autobots gathered together to discuss, with Ironfist offering his conjecture beforehand.

“After all, the moment you saw Blackface, he was already damaged, perhaps due to the forced landing of the spaceship…” Sideswipe pondered, picking up where Ironfist left off. The group continued their discussion, glancing occasionally at Rosa’s life support system and the small tent where Blackface was.

"This could mean he forgot something, like he said before, that his memory chip was blank." Drift also joined the discussion, saying that this was indeed the most likely reason at the moment.

“Moreover, there’s only one Autobot, Blackface, on the entire Tomb of A.E. ship. If there were an escape incident on the ship, there would never be only one guard.” Ironfist was thinking hard, resting his chin on his hand. Hearing this, Sideswipe nodded in agreement.

“Perhaps Blackface God isn’t just a watchman; maybe he’s also a guard?” Sideswipe continued Iron Fist’s words, implying that Blackface God has a guard mode, including the weapons he uses in that mode.

It was damaged during its crash landing on Earth before reaching Ai's Tomb, and forgot about these functions.

This can only be the only answer... and who knows if Danny Clay can fix him.

As for Rosa? At this moment, she had no idea how polite she would be treated by a group of Decepticons the next day, specifically by personally leading her into their home.
