Chapter 130 The Regulator is Nearby!
Chapter 130 The Regulator is Nearby!
When Bumblebee returned to the junkyard, he saw Steel Lock wearing a huge white sack, a mask, and a rag wrapped around his body as an apron, holding a huge axe.
And there were a few other people; it seemed like they were playing role-playing games?
"How was the movie? Was it scary?" Danny asked his son like a father, listening to Grimlock imitating the roar behind him. It seemed that tonight's movie experience should be quite good.
It was indeed quite good; several Cybertronians were genuinely frightened while watching the movie, although some complained that one character screamed continuously for at least ten minutes.
Overall, the horror was quite good. Although Sideswipe was making fun of it, I was still scared later on... except for Russell.
He probably really likes this kind of horror genre, so he watches it often and is quite used to it. He just sees it all the time and doesn't feel scared.
Just now, several Cybertronians were trying to scare Russell, and unsurprisingly, they all failed.
Bumblebee didn't think too much about it and called them over to help unload the energy crystals from the trailer. But if Bumblebee saw those horrific scenes, he probably wouldn't be moved either.
Having endured the devastation of the Rosa absolute solver form, what is there to fear?
Have you ever seen a machine that twists its head 180 degrees in the dark, with a bunch of hands, pliers, and other claws extending from its back? The kind that's indestructible and opens its eerie, blood-red maw to devour silicon-based devices?
This is way more exciting than any horror movie! Do you even know how valuable the Decepticon Base 24 haunting is?
Ahem, back to the main topic, Bumblebee, along with Iron Fist, Sideswipe, Grimlock, and Danny, who was more familiar with the cave environment, entered the cave.
They also brought glow-in-the-dark paint to make sure they wouldn't get lost in the cave.
Russell and Blackface waited outside, ready to offer assistance if needed, such as alerting anyone whose signal had disappeared.
At first, everything was normal, until the Autobots' signals gradually disappeared, and the signal inside the cave was very poor, so they didn't even have time to notify them to come out.
When all the Autobots' signals disappeared, a Decepticon suddenly flew out of the cave.
This Decepticon looks a lot like a bat. His name is Nightraid. His screams can stimulate the Cybertronians' fear centers, forcing his enemies to experience their greatest fears and thus paralyze them.
During this time, Night Raid will steal energy crystals from them.
Just as Blackface finished deciphering the contents of the database, Night Raid flew towards them again, this time taking Blackface with him and knocking Danny, who had just come out of the cave, back as well.
Russell was the only one left, so he had to take a flashlight and enter the cave alone.
At this moment, Bumblebee and the others are surrounded by some condensed objects due to the screaming sound waves. These objects look like some kind of mud mixed with energy.
These things surround the Cybertronians, causing them to fall into a coma and then have nightmares; Danny was also enveloped in them.
However, Danny is not a Cybertronian, but a human, so it will not affect him. He first deceived Nightraise and sent him away, while Russell took the opportunity to come and rescue his father.
The raid was only gone for a short time. They had just cleared the way around the bumblebee a little when Night Raid returned and chased after Russell. Russell tossed the stone that could break the mixture to his father and then went off to "walk the ghost away."
Russell: The hunter (crossed out) raided nearby at night!
Danny glanced at Bumblebee, who had already woken up, and turned back to continue chiseling the steel lock. At this moment, Bumblebee had slowly woken up and was surprised to see that there was another Combo Killer that he had missed before, one of them.
Bumblebee saw the Decepticon hunting weapon nearby and picked it up to help release one of the Combiners, hoping to ask for help in rescuing the two humans.
The butcher said nothing and just kept walking in that direction.
*Russell has held off the hunter (crossed out) during the night raid for 60 seconds.
At this moment, Danny was still struggling to break through the mixture binding the steel lock, while Russell jumped into a gap in a pile of stones, temporarily trapping Night Raid.
*Danny successfully saved his teammate.
Critical Rescue +200
But their good fortune didn't last long. Not long after the night raid, they pulled their heads out of the pile of rocks and saw Danny, who had just been freed from Steel Lock. They immediately rushed over.
*Russell escapes pursuit +200
*Russell: The hunter (crossed out) is on a night raid to change targets! Be aware of your surroundings!
The task of kiting the ghost fell to Danny, who tossed the stone to Russell and began to hold him back.
One of the combiners of the hunter saw the fluorescent paint nearby, immediately transformed into an observer, threw the paint at the hunter's—no, at Night Raid's—face, and then left after observing.
After Nightraise's vision returned, it was drawn away by Bumblebee's shouts. After a few sarcastic remarks, Nightraise rushed over and used the Decepticon Hunting Tool to trick it, successfully knocking Nightraise unconscious.
Okay, the final result was good, wasn't it? At least they successfully captured a Decepticon.
Well, if we ignore the fact that everyone is covered in a mixture of energy and has just had a bunch of nightmares.
Steel Lock's nightmare is a kitten that keeps getting closer; Sideswipe's nightmare is being stuck in traffic and being stuffed into a dark little box; Iron Fist's nightmare is being arrested by the police and committing a crime himself.
Meanwhile, Bumblebee was in a city engulfed in flames. Optimus Prime was disappointed in himself, and even... he seemed to see a familiar figure in the fire... a melting figure, and he knew who it was.
Everyone's nightmares were unique. They packed up and prepared to go back, but Bumblebee still had things to do after simply cleaning the energy mixture off his body with water.
He wanted to...go see Rosa.
Previously, due to some internal problems on Cybertron, Ratchet sent Ultra Magnus in his spaceship to Earth to deliver the sleeping Rosa and also to him the location where she had been placed.
Of course he knew Rosa's location, and he was thinking of going to see her... Come to think of it, it's been so long, three years should have passed by now, right?
Bumblebee thought for a moment, then entered a coordinate on the land bridge and prepared to set off to find Rosa.
This land bridge was given to me by a Decepticon named Brokenbones. He had a lot of equipment, including a spaceship and a land bridge, but the spaceship crashed and became unusable, while the land bridge was still usable.
He simply reported the operation to the authorities and did not intend to bring anyone with him.
Although Cybertronians should all know of Rosa's existence, in reality, they probably don't know about her abilities.
Because not long after Optimus Prime's statue was erected, the council began to criticize him, and that's when Ratchet noticed something was wrong; Rosa's contributions were not recorded.
The original plan was to upload the achievements after each member's statue was completed, but Rosa's statue was the last one to be uploaded because it was quite difficult to build.
The main problem was the difficulty in capturing the face, and the ambulance had a vague feeling that something was wrong as early as when the statue was completed.
So they were careful and postponed uploading Rosa's data, mainly because her existence itself was highly illogical.
The original plan was to have her personally demonstrate those "unreasonable" abilities, such as the copying and control of the solver, and then upload those achievements together after she woke up.
After all... while Ultra Magnus's hand was already somewhat illogical, compared to your solver and its outrageous durability, the solver was still far beyond its capabilities.
Fortunately, the results were not released at the time.
Otherwise, what if they found out that there was a super strong opponent still living on Cybertron, and that he had not shown himself yet, and was suspected of being seriously injured or in a coma?
Isn't this telling them to hurry up and find where Rosa is unconscious on Cybertron so they can make their move?
However, Bumblebee was still a little confused about one thing: why did the ambulance driver ask him to give her some privacy? Rosa was just lying on the life support system like a patient, and it seemed like he wouldn't be able to touch any privacy when he went to see her.
But he soon understood.
Because he saw something he shouldn't have seen.
