Chapter 469 Armored Dragon Orbital Station
A few cycles ago.
Cybertron, the soaring city.
Soaring Sky City is not on the surface of the earth. Soaring Sky City is an orbital station, suspended and fixed on a track. You can see it when standing in Iron Castle and other northern cities, looking up. Soaring Sky City has casinos, theaters, exhibition halls and many other entertainment facilities. People who want to escape from the worldly routine regard this as a paradise. It is full of artists, critics, and other people who like to examine the workings of society. They all belong to the artist class, so they are allowed to have a wider social circle, which is usually not allowed in other classes.
There is also a special talk show performance here.
Comedians are also a fixed class. Their life-long mission is to give Cybertronians a moment to forget the trivial matters of the world, forget that they are trapped on a planet and cannot access the vast universe, forget that the space bridge has broken, and forget that they have been separated from other Cybertronians. The Bertan settlement is isolated from countless cycles...
But tonight is especially special.
The great and distant leader, the architect and guardian of the class system, the supreme commander of all the armies of Cybertron, the one who has been given the module of leadership (it is said)...
Defend natural enemies!
Right in the audience.
The Supreme Leader did not come alone, and his identity certainly made it impossible for him to come alone. He was closely protected by his own bodyguards - a special force composed entirely of Cybertronians with the ability to fly, the Searchers, also called guerrillas. Troops or trackers, serving as the leader of the bodyguard against natural enemies.
The name of the guard captain is "Starscream".
No one knows that serial bombings and terrorist attacks are happening all over Cybertron. Why does the Royal Enemy still have the leisure to come to Soaring City to listen to a talk show? Perhaps he wanted to show his confidence to the outside world through this behavior? To express his disdain for the newly rising figures and forces - Megatron and the Decepticons? Although turmoil and uprisings are breaking out everywhere now, is everything under the control of the Supreme Council?
In any case, the talk show actors came to listen to the talk show, and the talk show actors suddenly felt a lot of pressure. The audience also knew that the natural enemy was at the scene, so they were also very nervous, which made the whole place very cold and made it more difficult for the stand-up comedians to perform.
The stand-up comedian told jokes dryly.
There was silence below and no one laughed.
Unexpected events followed one after another.
The first thing is that after the talk show actor finished his last joke, only Yu Tiandi laughed. When no one in the audience laughed, Yu Tiandi laughed out loud.
The second thing was that the outer wall of the orbital station was suddenly hit by a huge air flow and was overturned, followed by the impact and loud noise of the explosion.
When the explosion sound passed through the hall, Starscream almost subconsciously wanted to transform, but he suddenly stopped, returned to human form, and pulled the natural enemy out from under the collapsed pillar. When the first wave of impact occurred, the artificial gravity of Soaring City was also destroyed. Then the air in the theater hall quickly leaked into space, and some audience members were sucked out.
Another group of Cybertronians rushed in through the big hole in the wall. Some of them were busy changing back to human form. One of them threw something on the wall. The thing quickly climbed up the speaker and connected to the broadcast system in the hall. .
"We are the Decepticons."
A loud noise came from the radio:
"Attention, attention, we immediately begin to control the Soaring City. No one is allowed to enter or exit at will without permission. We do not represent any class, only in the name of liberating Cybertron - in the name of Megatron!"
Control the Soaring City?
Starscream thought:
Do they have ground troops?
The air in the hall was almost gone, and the sound gradually became quieter. Starscream lowered his head close to the predator's head.
"Chief," he said, "we must—"
"boom--"
His words were interrupted by the explosion of rocket shells and the scream of energy beams. Some of the invaders were rapidly switching from vehicle form to human form. While they were transforming, they shot wildly at the crowd through the large holes in the walls of Soaring Sky City.
"I'll challenge you!"
The natural enemy yelled.
The high-pitched voice of the natural enemy penetrated Starscream's head, causing the audio sensor components in his body to vibrate.
"Who is the Decepticon? Who is Megatron? Stand up!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a dense burst of rocket shells and plasma beams hit the body of the natural enemy. He was knocked backwards and rolled past a row of audience seats.
Starscream immediately fought back, suppressing the opponent while covering the natural enemy to stand up. The natural enemy looked surprised - Starscream was also very surprised. He saw a trace of fear on the natural enemy's face. The natural enemy could be afraid? Is he afraid of these rabble? With a look of contempt on his face, Starscream blasted out one of the enemies that rushed in with a single shot. The enemy flipped back into space, and then followed the leader along a walkway to hide with the audience, while fighting back.
He squeezed in front of the natural enemy and protected him with his body.
"Leader, our people will protect you. It's not your time to fight yet."
The natural enemies follow him.
Starscream felt a strong sense of contempt in his heart, not only for the tattered cannons and junk plasma cannons used by Megatron in this operation, but also for the leader. The era of fighting natural enemies has passed. The leader himself is unaware of it, but Starscream knows it. Megatron also knows this, and Starscream's two subordinates, Skywarp and Thunderbolt, also know it. The two men were standing at the entrance of a mechanical passage with good sealing performance. The air pressure in that place was still at the highest value and the power supply continued. Starscream and his predators squeezed through the crowd and came to the two of them.
"These are my trusted lieutenants,"
Starscream said to his natural enemies:
"They'll protect you from here."
The natural enemy nodded and said:
"Go ahead, Starscream. If you can find help, do it. If not, at least tell the other Cybertronians what happened today."
Yunni was once a great warrior.
Of course, Starscream has heard of the legendary deeds of Defending Natural Enemies, but now that Defending Natural Enemies is no longer majestic, he and the entire Cybertronian society are slowly ossifying and declining, and he and hundreds of other classes are perishing together. It's time to find new leaders who will rebuild what has been lost and forgotten. This operation to capture Soaring City is a declaration to all of Cybertron, and it is also the first tangible signal to tell everyone that the Decepticons are not bluffing.
Skywarp and Skywarp will take good care of Skywarp, and they will take him to a place that few people know except Starscream, which is the ideal hiding place.
…
Cybertron, the Great Wasteland.
The vast wasteland stretches infinitely around Megatron and Starscream. This is their first meeting.
"The operation in Soaring Sky City is progressing smoothly."
Megatron looked at Starscream and said:
"You have accomplished your mission well."
"This task is not difficult. I have been a guard against natural enemies for some time."
Starscream said calmly.
He raised his head and wanted to see the Soaring City in space, but he failed. He could not see the Soaring City in the wilderness. The only near-Earth objects in sight are the satellite base and the only remaining space bridge. No one knows where the giant bridge leads to and whether it can still be used. Starscream really wants to know, he wants to lead the Cybertronians back into space... maybe leading the Decepticons is the first step to that goal.
To achieve the goal of leading all Decepticons, the first step is to form an alliance with Megatron and ensure that this alliance works. Starscream executed the plan to get rid of the natural enemies so that he would have a bargaining chip, but the outcome of the negotiations was still unknown.
Megatron saw Starscream looking up at the sky.
"The Soaring City is ours. It was the first city captured by the Decepticons. Now every Cybertronian knows that we are a force to be reckoned with. Our opponents are weak, disorganized, and have no Willingness to Resist.”
Megatron looked at Starscream and said:
"Cybertron is about to write a new history, and I'm the one writing it. What role do you want to play?"
"You can't threaten me, Megatron."
Starscream turned back and said calmly:
"If you want a war, you can start a war, but if you want to win the war, then you need me and my men. The Supreme Council can deploy enough air power, but your Decepticons are just a bunch of horns. Fighters, they know absolutely nothing about high-altitude combat.”
"This makes it impossible to continue talking."
Megatron snorted and said:
"Okay, I can leave now and you can figure out what to do. But I'm warning you, I won't give you such good conditions next time we meet."
"I'm going to the Armored Dragon Orbital Station next."
Starscream suddenly changed the subject and said.
"The Armored Dragon Orbital Station?"
Megatron asked in confusion:
"What are you going to do after you go?"
You don't know, right?
Starscream was secretly happy.
As long as he mastered things that Megatron didn't know, he would have the opportunity to fight for the best position. Megatron asked him to kill the natural enemies, but he sent people to quietly protect the natural enemies. He also had the same plan. Although at present He didn't know what purpose it would have to keep the leader alive, but what if it would be useful in the future? Starscream thinks that he is not Megatron's subordinate. They are just a cooperative relationship and do not need to obey his words.
"Protect it."
Starscream was vague in his words:
"There are things in the Ironclad Orbital Station that would be too dangerous for Cybertron if they fell into the wrong hands."
Megatron stared at Starscream closely, their eyes locked on each other, neither of them backed away, but Starscream knew that Megatron was just bluffing, but he still acted with him.
"So, you think I'm a bad person?"
Megatron said.
Starscream shrugged and replied:
"I don't mean that. What I mean is that the country needs to change, but it does not need to be destroyed. I will protect the Armored Dragon Orbital Station to ensure that there will be no accidents."
Hearing the implicit sarcasm, Megatron looked like he wanted to fight for a moment, his weapons and equipment flashing brightly, but he held back.
"Then I'll get straight to the point."
Megatron suppressed his emotions:
"Starscream, do you want to come with us?"
"I have nothing against you, Megatron."
Starscream replied:
"This is my answer. I won't say much else. The parliament may be listening."
"Spying is nothing. Do you still care about the Parliament? You still want to take a gamble, right? You will definitely lose everything. The Supreme Council thinks that a lower-class gladiator can only fight. They will never think that we are so big. ambition."
Megatron said mockingly.
"You're a bit angry."
Starscream shook his head:
"Megatron, if you are going to fight to the end, you'd better face the reality clearly - the vast majority of Cybertronians, even those who don't support you, they don't bother to care about the class system. But just because they don't As fanatical as you are, do you want to treat them all as enemies?"
"In order to clear all obstacles, I am willing to be the enemy of the entire universe." Megatron's voice was cold and ruthless, "Be careful, Starscream, don't choose the wrong path."
After saying that, Megatron turned and left.
Starscream watched Megatron leave.
At the same time, send a message to his subordinates:
"Everyone gather at the Iron Armored Dragon Orbital Station!"
Why Ironclad Dragon Orbital Station? What do those flying rags want to do? What is there about the Ironclad Orbital Station that Starscream would find extremely valuable? Is it even so valuable that he would rather stay in that orbital station than fight for Cybertron?
I need to investigate.
Megatron thought to himself.
Since we need to investigate, we need to use the librarian, Orion Pax.
………
"call out--"
A group of fighter planes of various shapes streaked across the sky.
"what is that?"
Iron castle, observation deck. Fu Qinghai and Orion looked up together and watched the fighter plane fly quickly over the top of the iron castle spire. The two stopped fighting practice, and Fu Qinghai asked.
"A team of searchers."
Orion Pax murmured:
"The airspace above Iron Castle is not authorized flight space. Who ordered them to do it?"
"What is a seeker."
Fu Qinghai then asked.
"They are a group of people who are born with the ability to fly. They have been able to transform into flying vehicles since their birth. They can not only fly inside the atmosphere, but some can also fly in space. They are all sky warriors."
Orion's tone was full of envy.
Through Orion Pax's explanation, Fu Qinghai understood that the Cybertronians could of course build various spaceships and airships, but these manned flying vehicles were not as flexible and fast as those who were born to fly, so Cybertron's main aerial vehicle The power is these Cybertronians called the Seekers.
At this time, Orion Pax suddenly received a communication request from the long-lost person.
"Librarian."
Megatron said bluntly:
"I need you to help me look something up."
Do you still dare to come to me?
Orion Pax thought:
Then this time I will do it my way.
"First we have to decide what we are going to do, Megatron," he said. "The Soaring City incident has greatly damaged my image. The natural enemy has disappeared, and the invaders claim to be Decepticons. They will obey your command to act. There is no escaping this. .”
Orion Pax shouted.
"You mean, I have to explain?"
Megatron said it for him.
"right."
"You said that the Soaring Sky City incident has greatly damaged your image. How do you say this?"
"I speak for you in public and testify for you. Everything that happens now bears your name and the title of Decepticon...so it also involves me. I don't like to be misunderstood and use force. That’s not how I do it.”
"Indeed it is not. But the matter has come to this, we have no other choice, and the effect is good. The entire Cybertronian planet is talking about the class system and individual rights."
Orion Pax said in disbelief:
"Really? Are they talking about it? What you call the entire planet Cybertron certainly does not include the millions of Cybertronians on the communication network who say you use violence and clamor to behead you. You really don't See them?"
"I only see what I need to see, man."
Megatron said calmly.
Orion was shocked by his indifference.
"What do you want me to help you find?"
"The Armored Dragon Orbital Station, let's see what's hidden there?"
Megatron said seriously.
"Why do you want to check the Armored Dragon Orbital Station? What news did you get?"
Orion asked rhetorically.
"I can't tell you."
Megatron shook his head:
"It's best that you don't know. If you want the revolution to be successful, the most important thing is to keep it secret."
"Why, why are you begging me this time? Where is your subordinate Soundwave? Can't you detect it through his mini-Kongs scattered throughout Cybertron?"
Orion's words were laced with sarcasm.
"Sound waves are not omnipotent."
Megatron said calmly:
"If you still want our career to succeed, then help me one last time. You don't want to see all your efforts fail in the end, right, Orion Pax?"
Communication link is broken.
Fu Qinghai looked at Orion Pax with some sympathy in his eyes - it felt like Megatron treated Orion like a scumbag trying to PUA an innocent little girl.
"The Armored Dragon Orbital Station..."
Orion was completely unaware of Fu Qinghai's gaze, and murmured to himself, lost in thought.
Fu Qinghai also heard that keyword.
Armored dragon?
Fu Qinghai had a vague impression. Wasn't that the name of a giant super Decepticon Transformer? Why is there an orbital station in the Transformers United Universe?
Could it be...could it be...
"Ahem."
Fu Qinghai coughed lightly to attract Orion's attention.
"What's wrong with you, Qingshan?"
Orion Pax turned around and asked.
"When I first stood in the arena, the arena in Caron City, the biggest impression I had there was that anything could be transformed into an enemy, whether it was a pile of ruins or a pile of garbage... Well, so I thought What I’m asking is, you said that the Armored Dragon Orbital Station, does it also have fire?”
Fu Qinghai asked tentatively.
"The Armored Dragon Orbital Station? That's a building. It has no fire. How can it be alive... Wait!"
Orion Pax seemed to suddenly think of something, and his expression became serious. After recalling it carefully, he narrowed his eyes and said:
"It seems that there are indeed some records."
