#582 - Chapter 19: Pioneer Skyfire (I)

At 5:30 PM Eastern Time, the Air and Space Museum officially announced its closing. Security personnel in the main hall began busily clearing out the visitors, ensuring everyone could leave safely.

Two security guards patrolling near the F14 fighter jet discovered Liu Yuan. They approached him and politely said, "Hi, sir, we're closing up for the day. Please leave as soon as possible."

Just then, a commotion suddenly erupted. Leo stood at the entrance of the restroom, shouting at the top of his lungs, attracting the attention of those nearby. The security guards were drawn to the noise and turned their heads to investigate the situation.

At that moment, Liu Yuan seized the opportunity and swiftly reached out, placing his hands on the necks of the two security guards before him. With a gentle squeeze, the two guards immediately lost consciousness and fell to the ground. Immediately after, Liu Yuan deftly grabbed their collars, dragged them into a nearby helicopter, and hid them. The entire process was clean and efficient, without any hesitation.

Liu Yuan used the same method to knock out three more security guards. He met up with Sam and Mikaela, who were hiding in the plane, and Wheelie transformed into a toy car: "Follow me, I can sense it's inside."

They arrived in front of an SR-71 Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft, where Simmons also ran up with a detector in hand. He said, "It's this one, the Blackbird. We better hurry, I only stunned two guards."

Liu Yuan: "It's okay, I took care of five guards. What do we do next? Wake it up?"

Everyone looked at Wheelie, who responded, "Why are you looking at me? Just activate it."

Simmons: "How do we activate it?"

Wheelie: "Use a Spark or an Energon Core, or even your human nuclear reactor would work."

Sam: "Then hurry up and do it!"

Wheelie spread his hands: "My Spark power isn't enough, and I don't have an Energon Core."

Simmons: "Damn it, why didn't you say so earlier?"

Wheelie: "You didn't ask! You just told me to bring you here."

Leo: "We've wasted all this time for nothing! Forget it, I'm just going to turn myself in!"

Liu Yuan took out a pendant from his pocket and shook it: "Energon Core! I have one."

Simmons frowned: "Where did you get that thing?"

Liu Yuan took out a walnut-sized cube from the pendant, which radiated a faint blue light. He tossed it up and down: "Spoils of war, didn't you forget that I took down Megatron? It's not too much to keep a souvenir! How do you use this thing?" Actually, he got it from Swindle, who, as a Decepticon quartermaster, had hidden a lot of personal goods.

Wheelie: "The quality is very good! Just stick it on him."

Liu Yuan held the Energon Core close to the Blackbird. "Whoosh!" Like being attracted by a magnet, the core penetrated the Blackbird's outer shell upon contact. Electricity flashed through the fuselage. "Creak... creak!" The plane began to transform.

Liu Yuan tilted his head. "Whoosh!" Half a bolt flew off. Skyfire's transformation wasn't going smoothly, many joints seemed rusty and had become very stiff. He used both hands to forcefully flip up his faceplate, finally revealing his face.

Skyfire said to the people in front of him: "This place is uncomfortable to live in. You upright-walking creatures, identify yourselves. I am the great Seeker, Skyfire. I command you to open this door for me, I need to get some fresh air."

Sam: "What is he going to do?"

Liu Yuan: "Probably slept for too long, his brain isn't very clear."

Skyfire chattered on and on, crashing open the hangar door. Then, regardless of everything, he walked outside onto the tarmac, knocking aside any planes in his way with his staff.

Simmons: "Damn it, this is a big problem. The museum is going to be very angry about damaging so many exhibits."

Liu Yuan: "What are you afraid of? Just blame it on the Decepticons."

Bumblebee and the Twins quickly arrived. Skyfire calmed down a bit when he saw them. Perhaps his aging body was uncomfortable, Skyfire simply found an empty spot and sat down.

Sam: "Hi! I think we should talk."

Skyfire: "What's there to talk about? I still have my mission. What do you call this planet?"

Leo: "We call this planet Earth!"

Skyfire: "That's a strange name. When I first came here, it was like a big ice ball. Tell me, is the civil war still going on on Cybertron? Which side won?"

Sam: "The Decepticons won, but the fighting is still continuing."

Skyfire: "Oh, that's terrible. Hey, you Autobot kids over there. I'm switching to the Autobot side."

Simmons: "You mean switching sides is possible?"

Skyfire: "Of course, but it's not a casual thing. It requires a certain modification to the underlying code, so it's very troublesome."

Wheelie: "Oh, Lord Skyfire. Are you sure you don't want to stick with the Decepticons?"

Skyfire: "Of course not, those guys are too keen on war, following them will lead to ruin sooner or later."

Wheelie: "That's great, I'm switching to the Autobots too. Oh, beautiful goddess. I am willing to follow you forever." This guy was like a teddy bear, hugging Mikaela's leg and refusing to let go.

Sam: "Okay, Skyfire, I need your help. The AllSpark left these things in my brain, and the Autobots can't decipher them. Can you understand what some of these symbols mean?"

Skyfire: "Heh, hehe. I, Skyfire, am one of the earliest explorers. There is very little that I don't know, then write it down and let me see."

Sam used a dagger to carve the symbols on the lawn. He wrote very carefully, fearing even the slightest omission. "These are the symbols, they flash in my brain every day, I'm almost driven crazy. Megatron and The Fallen even want to take out my brain to get these symbols."

Skyfire: "Oh, The Fallen! The Prime who betrayed us. It's because of him that I've been trapped on this planet for millions of years. You're lucky, I happen to know these ancient Cybertronian writings. Let me see, this is a coordinate, and a key to activate the Matrix is to be found between daggers."

Simmons: "Wait a minute, what daggers? What key? Can you explain in more detail?"

Skyfire: "You guys are so long-winded, no time to explain. Everyone hold on tight, don't move, or you will die."

The huge Skyfire lowered his body and opened his arms. His force field generator was fully opened, covering a semi-circle with a diameter of twenty meters around him. Electricity was scurrying around his body, and the light became dark.

Liu Yuan felt a pulling force coming, it was a spatial displacement, here we go. The sand and dust rose, Liu Yuan felt himself being thrown into the air by a great force, and at this time he had arrived in a desert.

"Bang!" The sand dune under him exploded again, Bumblebee and the Twins, the three Transformers were also thrown out.
