#568 - Chapter 5: Decepticons in Action (Part 3)

"What a pity, such pure and flawless Energon cubes are almost extinct on Cybertron today. Megatron, our great leader, please wake up soon and lead us forward!" Scalpel muttered to himself expectantly.

As he spoke, he activated the Energon cube. Blue light flashed, bright even in the depths of the sea. The energy cube dissolved like ice, seeping into Megatron's body. His once-empty chest lit up again, and his electronic eyes flashed red once more.

Megatron suddenly sat up, stretched out his hands to look at them, and a hint of excitement and greed appeared in his eyes as he said, "I am resurrected!"

Scalpel stood respectfully to the side and said, "Megatron, Master, it was the Energon cube bestowed by The Fallen. I used it to revive you. The Fallen is at the space base, he wants to see you."

Megatron raised his head and looked into the distance. His gaze fell upon the retreating T'Beca submarine. His eyes were filled with anger and hatred as he gritted his teeth and said, "Damn human vermin, I'll collect some interest first!" With that, the thrusters on his limbs lit up, and he shot out at an extremely high speed, rushing towards the submarine like lightning.

Several Decepticons, seeing this, subconsciously wanted to follow, but were loudly stopped by Scalpel: "You bunch of idiots! Take me with you!" he shouted anxiously, his voice tinged with fear. Because he knew that with his fragile little body, if he stayed in this bottomless seabed, the enormous water pressure would crush him into a pancake in an instant.

Inside the T'Beca nuclear submarine, dangerous red lights flashed, and the atmosphere was extremely tense. A soldier shouted in horror, "Sir, there are 6 targets approaching us at high speed, their speed is astonishing!"

The captain's face was gloomy, and he decisively ordered, "Hard to port! Full speed ahead!"

However, the soldier reported anxiously, "No, sir, the enemy is also turning, we can't evade! The distance is only 1200 yards, no, now it's 1130 yards."

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in the captain's eyes. He gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "Immediately order a large upward angle. Load MK48 into the stern launch tubes. Once loading is complete, launch directly without asking for permission. Let's fight them!"

"Yes, sir, orders issued," the soldier responded, his voice filled with tension and determination.

"Enemy distance 770 yards!" the soldier continued to report, each number making people's hearts rise to their throats.

"Direction has been adjusted, distance 550 yards!"

"Distance 410 yards! Torpedo one has been launched!!" With this shout, the atmosphere inside the submarine became even more solemn.

Immediately afterward, another shout came: "Torpedo two launched! Distance three hundred yards!"

"The first torpedo missed, the enemy is still approaching, 160 yards!" The soldier's voice was full of despair.

The captain's face was ashen as he roared, "All hands prepare for impact!! Release all countermeasures!" At this moment, everyone understood that life and death hung by a thread.

"Final 50 yards!! Collision warning!"

The captain shouted with a stern face, "Now! Remotely detonate the torpedoes!! Detonate!!"

With the captain's order, the soldiers inside the submarine immediately took action, operating various devices nervously and methodically.

"Prepare! Port side impact!"

"Boom!" Just then, a deafening roar came, and the entire submarine shook violently. Megatron, at an astonishing speed, crashed straight into the port side of the submarine at the stern, one-fifth of the way back. The powerful impact actually lifted the entire submarine out of the water, briefly hovering in the air like a dolphin leaping out of the sea before crashing back down.

Megatron transformed rapidly in mid-air, instantly turning into a space fighter jet. Its engines roared, accelerating into the sky. During this process, Megatron also took the time to fire an energy cannon at the sky, accurately shooting down a US military RC-135 reconnaissance plane.

"This is Angel Six, we've been hit and are going down!"

In that thrilling moment of impact, the monitoring screen at the Pentagon suddenly went black, and they completely lost contact with the scene. The last thing they received was this desperate communication from the reconnaissance plane.

General Morshower said with a grave face, "Notify ships and aircraft in nearby waters as soon as possible, hopefully, we can still rescue some people." His voice was filled with worry and anxiety. However, everyone knew that facing alien robots, whether a successful rescue was possible was still unknown. But in any case, they had to try their best.

"General, the patrolling destroyer is heading to the scene at full speed," the communications officer reported.

At this time, the US military submarine's last struggle did achieve considerable results. The two MK48 Mod 5 torpedoes were heavy torpedoes, with a staggering length of 5.85 meters, a diameter of 533 millimeters, and a weight of 1582 kilograms. This type of torpedo had a speed of up to 55 knots, a range of 46,000 meters, and a maximum operating depth of 1200 meters. It was extremely powerful and had both anti-submarine and anti-ship capabilities.

Although the two torpedoes failed to hit Megatron, they successfully intercepted the three Decepticons following closely behind through remote detonation. The destructive power generated by the explosion of torpedoes in the water far exceeded the damage caused in the air. Two Transformers, only seven or eight meters tall, were instantly torn to pieces, while another suffered extremely severe injuries and struggled as it slowly sank to the bottom of the sea.

Fortunately, the large Decepticon who went back to pick up Scalpel - Scrapper - successfully avoided the disaster. Scalpel, while speaking, kicked him hard and shouted anxiously, "Don't be dazed! Run quickly, if we're any later, the human army will catch up, and we won't be able to escape."

Inside Liu Yuan's luxurious villa in Princeton. Sam and his new roommate Leo came to visit Liu Yuan together. Liu Yuan was warm and hospitable, personally cooking a sumptuous and delicious dinner to entertain them. While having dinner together, Liu Yuan keenly noticed that Sam's performance was a bit abnormal.

As everyone sat around the dining table enjoying the food, Sam's hands were always unconsciously gesturing some strange symbols on the table. However, Liu Yuan could clearly recognize that these symbols were neither common Cybertronian symbols nor those uninterpreted Primes writings.

Sam seemed to realize that there was something wrong with his body, but to avoid causing unnecessary embarrassment, he decided to bid farewell to Liu Yuan and leave early.
