#615 - Chapter 52: The Ambition of the Natural Enemy
At this moment, Charlotte cursed, "Damn it! I have to report this to the President immediately. We must list this as the highest level of alert!"
Just as everyone was discussing it, a huge engine roar came from far and near. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a heavy truck speeding back to the base. Before the car came to a complete stop, Optimus Prime transformed into his humanoid form. When he saw the devastated scene before him, his heart sank. The base was full of buildings that had been ravaged by artillery fire, many soldiers were lying on the ground groaning in pain with serious injuries, and outside the hangar, there were rows of corpses covered in white cloth, a shocking sight. At the bottom of the wall was a large pile of rusted metal debris, shaped like a human figure.
Sideswipe bent down to check and shook his head helplessly, "I can't tell, it's completely destroyed, but judging from the size, it's very close to Ironhide."
Optimus Prime was unusually silent after hearing this. He lowered his head and walked into the hangar. The situation inside was even worse. All the vehicles were destroyed, and some wreckage was still burning. Dino ran over to help clear the rubble and used a freezing cannon to put out the fire.
Optimus Prime encountered Charlotte, who was rushing out. She said unkindly, "You see that, Optimus Prime! All this is because of you. You awakened Sentinel Prime. Why should humans pay for your mistakes?"
Optimus Prime remained silent in the face of her accusations. She was right. He himself had strongly requested the resurrection of Sentinel Prime. But he did not expect that Sentinel Prime had colluded with the Decepticons. It was also his negligence that caused Ironhide to die in humiliation.
"Sentinel Prime!" Optimus Prime clenched his fists, his eyes bursting with light. He was determined to ask Sentinel Prime for an explanation.
Late at night, Bethesda, a newly built residential area in Montgomery County, Maryland, USA. The National Institutes of Health, the National Naval Medical Center, Lockheed Martin's headquarters, and Marriott International's headquarters are located here.
Many of the injured personnel from the NEST base were sent here for treatment. Except for Optimus Prime and Bumblebee, all the other Autobots were transferred to this more secret base. This is a CIA base, and they are temporarily stationed here until the NEST base is cleaned up.
Liu Yuan was also sent here to be settled. The Twins heard about the previous battle, and they said they would not leave Liu Yuan's side no matter what.
Brakes: "Protecting your safety is the task Jazz gave us."
"Do whatever you want! Just don't bother me." Liu Yuan didn't care about having two more followers. He estimated that the Decepticons wouldn't make any big moves in a short time.
West bank of Lake Michigan, in a dense forest. In the dark of night, a huge figure separated the water surface. It was Sentinel Prime, who had disappeared in Washington.
The equally tall Shockwave stood by the lake and stretched out a hand to the back, "You've arrived, Sentinel Prime. Megatron is inside, he has been waiting for you for a long time."
Sentinel Prime handed the large box he was holding to him, "Take care of them, they are crucial to our plan." Parting the canopy, Sentinel Prime came to the forest.
Megatron sat on a large rock, still looking weak, with Starscream and several other Decepticons standing beside him. He raised his head, "Sentinel Prime, you've finally arrived. We haven't seen each other for a hundred thousand years."
Sentinel Prime said unhappily, "You still have the nerve to say that. It was you Decepticons who broke your promise and attacked my ship. I was lost in the universe and drifted for a full hundred thousand years."
"Sentinel Prime, it's not my fault. I didn't know about your cooperation with Megatron. It is also my responsibility to hunt down the enemy's isolated leader..." Starscream was a little embarrassed. He was the one who led the Outer Ring Legion to pursue the Ark back then.
Megatron interrupted him, "Okay! Why mention the past? I have already taught Starscream a lesson. Now that you have been resurrected, hurry up and open the Space Bridge. Summon the Decepticon army, I can't wait to flatten this damn planet."
"Humph~" Sentinel Prime snorted coldly, "Then you have to return the teleportation pillar to me first. Without the main control pillar, what can I use to open the Space Bridge?"
Megatron was stunned. He turned to look at Starscream, "Did you take the main control pillar?"
Starscream shook his head quickly, "Absolutely not, Master Megatron. I will execute your orders meticulously."
Megatron turned his head again, "Are you mistaken?"
Sentinel Prime's tone was unkind, "Who else besides you? When Optimus Prime fished me out of the Ark, he only found five, and they were all ordinary teleportation pillars."
"Damn it!" Megatron stood up abruptly and kicked Starscream over, "You can't even do this little thing well."
Starscream was extremely wronged, "Injustice! Master, you know me. I will never do extra things. Moreover, I left twenty teleportation pillars, including the main control pillar. Soundwave was also there at the time, he can testify for me."
The scene became silent for a while. Sentinel Prime and Megatron looked at each other. He said, "It seems that there is another force that we don't know about. Do you know who they are? Are they humans?"
Megatron: "It shouldn't be. With the technological level of humans, they can't take the main control pillar without us noticing. If it were humans, they wouldn't have left you five."
Sentinel Prime: "I heard Optimus Prime say that there is also a Cybertronian force established on Earth. Could it be them?"
Megatron: "It is possible. They are all deserters and exiles in the war. I don't think they have the guts. But I will arrange for someone to investigate. But without the main control pillar, what should we do now?"
Sentinel Prime: "Our plan cannot be delayed. We can use three ordinary teleportation pillars to transform them into a matrix. The effect should be similar."
Megatron: "Let's do it like this! List what you need and give it to Shockwave, he will try his best to find it for you. How long do you need?"
Sentinel Prime: "If all goes well, two Earth days..."
In fact, Sentinel Prime and Megatron's initial plan was to find planets with important resources. Then, Sentinel Prime would open the Space Bridge and lead the Decepticon army over to occupy that planet. Then, they would carry out plundering exploitation to rebuild the Cybertron planet, which was on the verge of destruction.
Sentinel Prime did not reveal his identity in order to lure out and eliminate the hardliners of the Autobots at the right time. At that time, Sentinel Prime would lead the Autobots to negotiate peace with the Decepticons. All the Autobots would be incorporated into the Decepticons. And Megatron also agreed that if Sentinel Prime could truly revive the Cybertron planet, he would be willing to submit and serve Sentinel Prime as leader, so that the Cybertron planet would achieve true peace.
