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

Chapter 69 The End of Exponentiation, Absolute Solver, Absolute Solution, Absolute Solution

“Then we did what we do best.” The partition said, banging its fists together.

"You smashed Megatron's little spaceship so badly it was crawling all over the ground!" Meiqi said, gesturing as she spoke.

It was already the next day. When Jack, Meiqi, and Lafi arrived, the partition was explaining to Meiqi what had happened the day before.

“We should take this opportunity to attack the Decepticons,” Arcee said, but the ambulance remembered that their personnel were still at a disadvantage.

After all, it was a Decepticon warship, so there must have been quite a few people on it.

“Perhaps I can call for air support.” Agent Fuller stepped forward first. “Perhaps we can consider using more extreme methods, Agent Fuller.” Optimus Prime looked back at Rosa and the ambulance.

After a moment of silence, he called Rosa and the ambulance, and led them to the small warehouse where the tinder extractor was kept. He personally opened the door and watched the ambulance go in first.

"Spark Extractor? Optimus Prime, are you sure you really want to take this step?" The ambulance turned to look at Optimus Prime, who was about to enter.

“Although I’m very reluctant to use such a powerful weapon, especially since it was made by the Decepticons.” Optimus Prime looked at Rosa.

“But perhaps this is our only chance to end this war forever,” Optimus Prime said, picking up the AllSpark Extractor.

"I don't understand, why won't they let me go? If that form were hidden inside the Decepticon warship, it could easily kill most of the Decepticons." Ratchet and Optimus Prime looked at Rosa, who was speaking.

“The existence of projections can also confuse the public. Once the water is muddied, no one can tell who is dead and who is alive.” Rosa gestured as she spoke, but Optimus Prime shook his head.

“Rosa, we promised you we wouldn’t use you as a weapon.” The ambulance added, “You can use the Spark Extractor without being affected, which is indeed a solution, but we can’t just throw you onto the Decepticon warship; that would be too dangerous.”

Even if you can restart, you are our ally, not a weapon.

Their point was that they carried the tinder extractor in the name of their comrades, and that the tinder extractor itself was the weapon.

But if they deployed her onto a Decepticon warship, she would be a weapon of immense destructive power, but they won't do that.

"Okay," Rosa nodded, and with the AllSpark extractor shoved into her hand, she followed Optimus Prime and the ambulance back to the lobby.

They then discovered that the location of the Decepticon warship was emitting a large amount of dark super-energy signals. As they prepared to depart, Agent Fuller tried to request to go with them.

Because if this were the final battle, as Earth's representative, he had a responsibility to be a witness at the scene. Ratchet and Optimus Prime exchanged a glance and agreed.

When they finally located the Retribution using the land bridge, they saw footage of the Retribution taking off.

? ?

How did it fly like that? The boiler room was smashed by a partition, and the pipelines were all cut off by itself. What kind of thing can repair itself so quickly? Could it be a dark super-energy entity?

As the spaceship slowly ascended, Optimus Prime gave the order for her to come out. Rosa immediately projected herself to hide and then spread her wings to take off, while Optimus Prime and the others on the other side drew fire.

Perhaps due to the dense barrage of bullets flying through the air, Rosa instinctively used the solver to block, but the blue light that appeared during the block seemed to inadvertently reveal her location.

Fortunately, it's only a tiny bit of blue light, so it shouldn't be noticeable...

Suddenly, something resembling a radar or something similar emerged from the bottom of the Retribution ship. Something gathered from the four corners of the radar to the center and then launched outwards.

Knowing full well that she absolutely couldn't run into it, Rosa dodged with a flash, but this only made her position more obvious.

Amidst the hail of bullets, a flash of blue light was clearly visible, and there was even a noticeable flicker in another part of the sky nearby.

The ray that had just been emitted from the radar clearly hit nothing; it then aimed again at the spot that had just flashed in the air—and fired.

Rosa seized the opportunity and dodged again, and then she saw nine more radars extend from the Retribution.

No, is it really necessary?

There's no other way; it seems the only option left is to showcase the skills of Hollow Knight players!

Then she really became a 'particle'. The Retribution number couldn't handle it, so it fired 10 rays one by one, firing wherever she dodged. Finally, Rosa didn't have time to dodge and was hit, then fell straight to the ground.

There's no time to mourn Rosa's fate! The next one to take up the Spark Extractor is... Bumblebee!

Bumblebee tried to jump to avoid the beam, but he jumped too late and was hit as well, then immediately locked in place.

There's no time to mourn Bumblebee's fate! The next one to take up the Tinder Extractor is... Arcee!

Arcee was hit as soon as she picked up the Tinder Extractor, and then she was immediately frozen in place.

There was no time for Ah... the partition was also hit.

No! ...Optimus Prime was also hit.

Promise me, the author of Shenjin won't use this kind of stale trope again next time, okay?

Strangely, when Megatron gave the order to advance, the Retribution homing ...

They were even electrocuted.

Agent Fuller—looking at the Autobots lying on the ground—chose to call an ambulance.

It's unclear how they managed to move the others back, but while Rosa was still unconscious, the ambulance noticed that the way Rosa was 'locked' seemed a little different.

What exactly is different? Have you ever seen that pattern where a bunch of dots form a circle? Yes, that's the pattern that appears when your computer freezes and the mouse is pointing at it.

That is, the loaded pattern. Everyone else is locked in place and cannot move their bodies. Their optical mirrors cannot be changed, and they remain in the same posture. Rosa is also like that, but the pattern that is rotating is what she sees in her optical mirror.

The ambulance driver found it a bit strange, but still tried to get the person back first. Then, after a while, things got even stranger.

He discovered that Rosa's previously locked-down state was gradually disappearing; at least her joints weren't stuck like the other Autobots'.

This is the scene Rosa sees when she logs in: she finds herself lying on a medical bed, next to an ambulance talking to several other humans, and a row of life-size figurines.

"Are you suggesting I call Megatron and ask him what's going on?" said the ambulance driver, while Jack, Mickey, and Raffi, the three humans, simultaneously shrugged.

The ambulance then looked at Fuller, who shrugged, his meaning clear: what other options were there?

The ambulance driver noticed Rosa getting up and turned to look at her, stroking his chin as if he was thinking about something.

"Your solver is really unreasonable." With that, the ambulance looked at the row of life-size figurines and then went to tap something on the base panel.

"What happened?" Rosa looked at the humans around her in confusion.

"The Decepticons' dormant ray struck you, and you're now locked in a state of lockdown," Ratchet answered first, trying to contact Nemesis while addressing her questions.

"Now, we need to contact Megatron and ask them what's going on." With that, the ambulance pressed the last button.

(P.S.: For fans, the skirt is divided into two parts, which can be found in the author's notes.)
