She knew that the soldier in front of her was definitely blinded by lust to approach her. After all, it was not normal for a "civilian aircraft" to suddenly appear in the Decepticon recruit training base, which was far away from the living area.
He drew closer and closer until they were only a few meters apart. He looked at her and said, "I will take you away, but first I want to show you paradise."
"Is that so...? That's a shame..." the female pilot said. With a "snap," the light above her head suddenly went out, and she was instantly surrounded by darkness, with only her blue eyes emitting a faint blue glow in the darkness.
Suddenly, the blue optical glasses abruptly lowered, twisted to the right, flipped upside down, and then immediately turned back to the left. It was as if... her head had rotated 360 degrees as she lay down.
Soon, something even more terrifying happened to the recruit. He saw a page emitting a blue light appear behind the female pilot lying on the ground, with words he couldn't understand written on it. Then, he vaguely saw something frantically sticking out from the female pilot's back under the faint light of the blue page.
He realized that what was in front of him might not be TF. A large number of glowing dots appeared around her, and for a moment he thought of something indescribable.
Those...could they be eyes?
He tried to run, but he found that the deforming gears were no longer working properly. The impact was too great, and only his legs could barely move. His eyes widened in disbelief, and he turned and ran, trembling.
He ran as fast as he could, the lights behind him exploding one after another at an incredible speed. He glanced back halfway through, and that one glance made him run even faster.
Countless camera-like objects, emitting a faint blue light, emerged from the darkness. Numerous mechanical hands crawled across the walls, tentacles extended from the ceiling and walls, extinguishing the lights. Scythes, pliers, and all sorts of weapons also emerged.
That's not human! Absolutely not!
He was frantically thinking about how to use the transforming gears, how to use them! How to use them!
ku-ku-ka
He successfully transformed. The car had just completed its transformation, and before he could even celebrate, he discovered... his rear wheels were dangling in the air.
No matter how fast the wheels spun, he wouldn't move forward... No matter how panicked he was and how much he wanted to escape, all he felt was a dizzying, unsteady sensation, and a pulling sensation from under the car...
He was caught
An overwhelming sense of panic washed over him. He frantically transformed back into his original form, trying to kick away what was grabbing him from behind. But the moment he finished transforming, several tentacles wrapped around his legs. No matter how much he struggled, it was no use. Countless cold hands slowly pressed down on him, tightening their grip and dragging him back.
"Help! Let me go! Let me go! Help! No! Help me! Help me! Help me!" *Snap*
The moment the body was completely pulled into darkness, the cries for help ceased abruptly, accompanied by the sound of metal breaking. As energy dripped and was dragged, a pool of energy was left on the ground, and the drag marks extended into the darkness.
The long corridor was almost entirely destroyed, with only a few lights remaining by the entrance. The last thing illuminated by those lights was a trail of dragged energy.
"Hiss... hiss..." Lightning flickered in the distance at the location of the damaged overhead light. Suddenly, with a "snap," a faint orange light flickered on and off, briefly illuminating the shape of a TF.
That was the TF who had just died.
When the light flickered again, all that remained under the light was a clean and tidy floor, as if the dragged-out puddle covered in energy marks in front of the darkness was just an illusion.
In the darkness, the TF who had just died slowly emerged—a projection. He even saluted the passing high-ranking commander. Behind him, at the boundary between the blacked-out lights and the bright lights, were the handprints of the energy body from before.
That high-ranking commander saw this scene as he passed through this corridor; it consisted of only two words.
"Strange"
But he was even more convinced that some guy had been walking carelessly in the dark corridor and spilled his energy, and this TF just happened to be passing by.
Hmm? Why use this TF projection at all? Why not just assimilate or consume it, then take the armor you want? Because Rosa still has a big use!
-
On the other side, Rosa's projection was still sitting at the bar with surveillance cameras, shaking the high-purity energy ball in her hand. She was looking at something through the energy ball. After shaking it for an unknown amount of time, she finally drank the high-purity energy ball in one gulp and then ordered another drink.
No rush, wait a bit longer. Once the body has been completely transferred back, walk back to the dormitory in an area covered by surveillance cameras. No one will suspect me then.
Once I got the armor, I transported it to my dorm room through the ventilation duct and used it tonight. Of course, I'll have to polish it with a polishing machine tonight, as some scratches might be noticeable.
There won't be any problem polishing it in the middle of the night, after all, she was chosen and she's leaving tomorrow. What's wrong with polishing herself before leaving?
Hmm... I'm hungry so late at night, let's have some late-night snacks. We're leaving soon, so let's have something substantial. What should we eat?
Inside the room, Rosa's hand retracted into a claw, and she chuckled softly as if she had thought of something.
The next day
The instructor led Rosa to a spaceship, told her to wait there for Commander Starscream, and then left to begin the soldiers' training for the day.
It was a bit strange, though, that he could see only a few scattered soldiers standing on the training ground from a great distance.
"Where is everyone else?" The instructor glanced at the internal time; it was already well past the assembly time, and everyone should have arrived long ago.
"Report! We didn't see them when we logged on this morning. We thought they had arrived a long time ago." A soldier responded to the instructor, who looked displeased under his visor and asked when he had seen them yesterday.
Strangely, all the missing people had gone to see the commotion last night.
Watching the fun?
According to another soldier, there were some TF (Taiwanese TF fans) making announcements on the forum late last night, saying there was some gossip to be had. Because the commotion was so loud, many soldiers went to check it out.
The instructors first had them do preparatory training, and then went to the entrance of the oil bar, where they unexpectedly saw several other instructors there as well.
The oil bar door was locked, and even the key that one of the instructors found couldn't open it; it seemed to be broken.
broken?
The instructor realized something was wrong; a large group of soldiers had gone missing, and they were all people who had come to the oil bar to watch the show the night before. It didn't seem like a coincidence.
The horrifying scene they witnessed when they broke down the door confirmed their suspicions.
Everywhere they looked, there were energy bodies flowing everywhere, and severed limbs were scattered all over the place. They immediately reported this to the Decepticon leadership, and the matter even alarmed Soundwave, the Decepticon's second-in-command.
...
Rosa extended a bunch of mechanical joints from her body, wearing armor that had just been polished the night before, and followed behind the commander named Red Spider, listening to him muttering that even if it couldn't transform, it couldn't be given to that shrew.
Rosa guessed that it might be another person in charge of a recruit training camp.
She watched as Red Spider chattered on and on to the person next to her, and then told her to go and fight an old soldier to see how strong she was.
So being strong and fast really works. She applied a little force to the spot where the veteran was defending, and saw the veteran be forced back a few steps. She glanced furtively at Red Spider.
So those with slightly higher rank have face, but we lowly soldiers have no face.
She didn't plan to show her face either, because she hadn't seen the soldier's face before, so the soldier only had his own camera in his head. He was the type who would be exposed as soon as he put on his mask, so she had to keep hiding.
He's proficient in using what he learned in boot camp—dodging, kicking, and attacking—he's a promising talent. We absolutely can't let that Black Widow get away with it.
Starscream ultimately decided to graduate from boot camp early and find time to go out and fight with the other Decepticons to gain experience; it seems he intends to train himself.
Then the opportunity immediately arose. It's said that an enemy single-handedly stormed Cybertron. Rosa, disguised as a Decepticon—well, now a recruit under Starscream—was kicked over to test her skills.
"Go ahead, put all your strength into it, and while you're at it, urge them to complete the space bridge as soon as possible."
Then, unsurprisingly, something unexpected happened. As soon as she saw the enemy, she was hit in the head by an attack he launched. It wasn't the projected head; hitting that was useless. He hit her real head.
The soldiers are a head taller than him, so the soldiers' heads are sculpted by themselves using something like a camera to support their heads, while the rest of their bodies are covered in armor. Some exposed parts are disguised with projections, thus piecing together a Decepticon soldier.
Then, my head was hit right on my neck, that spot, and I passed out and lay down to wait for the solver to fix me.
When she logged on, she was in the lounge, where she and... well, another shorter guy who was hard to see clearly were the only ones there. She looked at the messages sent in the channel; it seemed like Red Spider wanted to give her extra training.
She then discovered that her recognition seemed to be malfunctioning, because she could see the scene clearly, but not the figures of people. Perhaps the problem occurred when she was fighting the enemy.
She saw TF enter through the door.
"Hi, are you new here too?" 6-12 greeted them. Arcee glanced at her Autobot symbol, then at the Decepticon symbol on the wall, making sure she was in the Decepticon base and hadn't wandered into the wrong place.
In that case, it can only mean that this guy has something wrong with his brain.
Arcee decided to ignore it for the time being and go ahead and destroy the Decepticons' construction plans.
