Chapter 55 News from Home
Megatron scanned his surroundings. "I think that Autobot named Arcee will bring back the reloaded Energy Treasure through this passage."
"Hold the space bridge at all costs!" the ambulance shouted, taking the lead in standing in front of the passage, with the others also blocking the way.
The ambulance that tried to rush up the partition was punched away by Megatron, and Megatron grabbed its head and threw it aside.
Rosa spread her wings and took flight, but she didn't fly straight at Megatron. Instead, she just brushed past him, deliberately using her twin blades to slash at him the instant she passed him.
The armor is too thick; it only has a few scratches, and the solver can't handle that much damage.
He climbed back up from the partition that had been knocked away and, together with Bumblebee and Rosa, kept firing at Megatron.
Rosa circled Megatron in the air, her knife transforming into a gun, firing continuously as she flew around him.
Megatron kept deflecting the damage from the barriers and Bumblebee with his knife. He wanted to deal with the other two, but Rosa was circling around shooting, which was troublesome. Sometimes she would even suddenly dive down with her knife, glide past Megatron, and fly away, then continue circling and shooting.
Megatron directly preheated the Fusion Cannon, no longer using his sword to block the damage from other Autobots, relying on his thick armor to withstand it.
He must deal with this fly first.
Megatron aimed carefully and fired, successfully knocking Rosa down. The immense force caused Rosa to lose her balance in mid-air and crash into the wall, briefly losing consciousness.
"Rosa!" the ambulance shouted, continuing to rush forward, but was also knocked down with a single punch. Megatron had just stretched out his knife to take down the ambulance when he was tackled by the partition.
The partition was quickly removed, and the remaining bumblebees were easily tossed aside.
Megatron walked towards the Space Bridge, waiting for Arcee's arrival. At that moment, Arcee and Jake also arrived at the Space Bridge, but...
Something's wrong. Arcee can't get an ambulance; something must have happened on the other side.
Suddenly, a land bridge appeared behind Megatron, and an unexpected figure appeared: Orion Pax. Megatron was mocking Orion Pax, saying that Orion didn't care about anything and wasn't the leader.
Orion Pax was certain of one thing: he sympathized more with the Autobots, but when he charged in, he was still taken down by Megatron.
Just as Megatron was about to raise his hand to finish off Optimus Prime, Arcee's vehicle form suddenly rushed out and crashed into Megatron, sending him flying.
Rosa has finally reappeared. Half of her armor's visor was shattered from crashing into the wall, revealing half her face. Her blue optical glasses stood out starkly in the darkness as she struggled towards Megatron. (P.S. There are some illustrations by the author in the chapter's discussion section, just some random doodles, of course.)
"Swish swish swish—" Arcee kept firing at Megatron, while Rosa was also charging over with a knife. Megatron knew, of course, which one was more troublesome.
He grabbed Arcee and slammed her to the ground, then fired at Rosa. Rosa used her teleportation ability to dodge the shot, but Megatron anticipated her movement as she teleported in front of him.
"Using the same old tricks again is pointless."
Rosa was knocked unconscious and sent flying by Megatron's uppercut. He slowly walked up to Rosa and, under Rosa's murderous gaze, directly aimed the Fusion Cannon at her.
"Rosa!!" Arcee shouted. The ambulance, enduring the pain, struggled to its feet and ran towards Megatron to try and stop him, but it was too late.
"This is a return gift, boom—boom—boom." Megatron fired five shots directly at Rosa's head, seemingly to avenge the five stab wounds, or perhaps to accuse Rosa of the things she had done.
By the end, Rosa's head had completely disappeared, leaving only a few scattered fragments and her neck flashing with electricity.
But then Megatron's optical lens caught Optimus Prime receiving the energizer, and Jake holding the key.
"No!!" Megatron ran over, knocking away the ambulance that was trying to block his way, but it was too late.
Optimus Prime catches Megatron's sword and inadvertently glances at Rosa, who has lost her eligibility to go to Canada.
Optimus Prime grew even angrier.
Optimus Prime is yelling "Ora Ora!" at Megatron.
Optimus Prime knocks Megatron away.
While a fight was taking place over there, the base wasn't idle either. They discovered that an Autobot's signal had gone offline and then suddenly came back online, so the people over there started questioning Arcee.
"Arcy, how's it going over there?" Agent Fuller and the others waited anxiously. "Optimus Prime is back. His signal should have just come online. Activate the land bridge quickly!"
Upon hearing Arcee's words, the people in the base cheered, but then a question arose.
Now that Optimus Prime's signal is back online, there are six signals now, but there are only five, which is wrong. The signal that just went offline... something happened to someone?
“Rosa…” Optimus Prime looked at Rosa being picked up by Bumblebee, his eyes brimming with anger that was almost overflowing, and his blue optical glasses seemed to be on fire.
"Buzz...beep, whoosh..." Bumblebee looked at the headless female robot in his arms, Ratchet clenched his fists, and Blockboard was so angry that he wanted to rush over and fight Megatron to the death.
But they all knew this was Tiger's territory, and as soon as Megatron contacted the warships, they would be surrounded by Decepticons instantly.
"Whoosh—" A land bridge lit up next to Optimus Prime.
"It's ours!" Arcee shouted. Optimus Prime immediately gave the order to retreat, and Arcee grabbed Jack and ran. Megatron, seeing the Autobots' land bridge open, immediately fired at Optimus Prime.
But it's too late.
All the Autobots left, the last glimmer of light on the land bridge disappeared, leaving Megatron alone roaring in front of the space bridge.

Rosa hasn't restarted or repaired her body yet, but her consciousness has returned. She's surprised to see the messages her parents sent her in the core. If she were in active mode now, she would definitely be crying.
After arriving in this universe, she received no messages from her hometown and was unable to send any; all messages she sent displayed a network error.
She wanted to leave something behind, even if it was just a small chance of getting a response.
The moment the message was sent, instead of a network error, it showed as successfully sent, and Rosa even received a reply from her family very quickly.
It's true! It's true!
When Mia heard that her child was still in a state of death, she immediately told her to restart the system.
Since we can make contact now, we definitely can in the future. We'll eventually know the conditions for contacting another world. But right now, Rosa's surroundings are too dangerous, so we should restart as soon as possible.
She had only one request: Rosa had to live, and she had to come back alive.
As long as there is hope, that's enough, even if it's just a little.
[Promise me, child, you are the most important thing. Come back alive.]
