#539 - Chapter 26: Decepticon Attack (V)
Despite Jazz's seemingly petite stature, he actually possessed considerable strength and exceptional speed. Noisy's multiple mechanical arms flailed wildly, attempting to seize Jazz, but he nimbly evaded each attack. Subsequently, Jazz unleashed three consecutive kicks, forcefully shattering a support bracket of Noisy's rocket launcher.
However, Noisy's immense power allowed it to quickly roll, dislodging Jazz from its body. It then tightly gripped Jazz's leg, hurling him far away. Before it could deliver a fatal blow, Ironhide and Ratchet swiftly arrived, flanking Noisy from both sides.
The three Autobots coordinated seamlessly, providing mutual cover as they launched a fierce assault on Noisy. Energy blasts struck its armor at close range, sending fragments flying in all directions. Ratchet's buzzsaw even mercilessly severed its left arm! It must be said that Noisy was exceptionally resilient; even after sustaining such grievous injuries, it was not completely destroyed. Ultimately, under the concentrated fire of the three Autobots, the armor on Noisy's chest was completely shattered, and it was sent hurtling away.
Jazz: "Noisy isn't dead yet; let me finish him off with a shot!"
Just as Jazz was about to act, a piercing engine roar suddenly echoed overhead. A shuttle gleaming with silver light sped towards them with incredible velocity. It began to transform mid-air, but due to its excessive speed, it crashed directly into a building.
"That's not good, Megatron's here, retreat immediately!" Ratchet warned.
Jazz fearlessly shouted, "Come on, Megatron, I'm not afraid of you!" He swiftly deployed the energy cannons on his arms, unleashing a barrage of fire at Megatron, firing three shots in quick succession, but failing to penetrate Megatron's formidable armor.
Megatron roared furiously, "You insignificant insects, how dare you obstruct me!" With that, he raised his hand and fired a shot, the powerful impact knocking Jazz off his feet. Subsequently, Megatron spotted Ironhide and Ratchet fleeing and unhesitatingly launched three missiles. "Thoom! Thoom! Thoom!" The missiles exploded in the street, causing chaos and casualties.
"Damn it! If you want to hurt them, you'll have to go through me first!" Jazz, lying on the ground, stubbornly rose and continued to fire at Megatron. However, his machine gun attacks were ineffective against Megatron's armor, only producing sparks.
Seeing that the Autobots had escaped his line of sight, Megatron grabbed Jazz's leg and flew with him to the top of a nearby high-rise. "Hmph, Jazz, ten thousand years and you're still as eager to die as ever!"
Jazz: "So what? I'm not afraid of you at all." As he spoke, he unleashed another burst from the machine gun on his left arm at Megatron.
Megatron was enraged by his defiance: "You stubborn little thing, I'll tear you in half!" With that, he exerted force with both hands, and sparks flew from Jazz's body.
Just then, "Swoosh! Swoosh!" Two heavy rockets were launched from below. One accurately struck Megatron's left claw, while the other targeted the clock tower he was standing on. This sudden attack caught Megatron off guard, causing him to lose his balance.
Jazz seized the opportunity to break free and was flung away, crashing heavily into a building and instantly buried under collapsing bricks and stones. Megatron's electronic eyes quickly scanned downwards, spotting a human wielding a rocket launcher; it was he who had fired the two rockets.
"Ah! Insect, you dare attack the great Decepticon leader; I will crush you." Megatron's hatred for humans instantly erupted.
Liu Yuan supported the rocket pod, which Jazz had just torn off of Noisy. He slammed his palm on the launch button, and the remaining six rockets fired simultaneously, heading straight for Megatron. (Here's a little bit of trivia: whether it's a rocket launcher or a rocket pod, a massive propulsion backblast occurs when it's fired. Therefore, no one can stand behind it, and there can't be any obstacles. At worst, it could cause an explosion!)
Megatron easily evaded two of the rockets, but the remaining four struck him squarely. This sudden attack infuriated Megatron. He let out a deafening roar and charged towards Liu Yuan.
Upon seeing this, Liu Yuan turned and ran without hesitation. Megatron's speed was extremely swift, and in the blink of an eye, he had destroyed several shops. "You detestable little bug, die!" Megatron roared, and the cannon on his left hand began to charge. Immediately following, a beam of blue plasma erupted, instantly hitting the interior of the building. With a loud explosion, the shop and the surrounding buildings were blown apart.
At this moment, Liu Yuan appeared on the opposite side of the street, more than thirty meters away from Megatron. Shadow Shuttle—a skill from R'hllor, Liu Yuan wasn't proficient with it, but used it to evade Megatron's blast.
The visibility here was excellent, and he could clearly observe the entire battlefield. Sam was being closely guarded by several soldiers and was rapidly retreating in one direction. Ironhide had already caught up, responsible for protecting their safety.
At the same time, Noisy, who had been almost completely destroyed, stubbornly got back on its feet. The group of American soldiers were engaged in a fierce firefight with it, and for a time, the two sides were evenly matched.
At this moment, Ratchet was busily loading Bumblebee onto a trailer, his movements crisp and efficient. He skillfully wrapped the trailer's chains around Bumblebee's waist several times and tied a neat bow.
Just then, a loud explosion sounded nearby, and Barricade, who had been missing for a long time, appeared. He had mustered the courage to join the battle after seeing Megatron.
Ratchet reached out and patted the roof of the vehicle, shouting, "Get Bumblebee out of here first; leave that useless Barricade to me." With that, he raised the alloy shield in his left hand and charged towards Barricade without hesitation.
At the same time, Sam's situation was also not optimistic. Blackout, who was slower, had also appeared on the battlefield. Blackout's prototype was the MH-53J heavy-lift helicopter, possessing powerful combat capabilities. It occupied the high ground, firing miniature missiles downwards in rapid succession.
Seeing this, Ironhide strode forward to provide support. As a weapons specialist, he was equipped with various weapons and fearlessly engaged Blackout in a fierce exchange of fire.
Ironhide shouted, "Sam, run! I'll hold him off." Before the words were finished, a missile struck from the air like lightning. Although Ironhide was prepared, he was still blown away by the sudden attack.
