Chapter 882: Reunion (Part II)

Waving his hand to knock over a large tree, Brawl looked impatient.

"Captain, aren't we supposed to be going after Frenzy? Why did we come to this godforsaken place?"

Newfoundland in the Northern Hemisphere during midsummer is definitely not a place normal people would want to visit.

The permafrost of the Arctic Circle thaws during this time of year, and mud and swamps can be seen everywhere.

Brawl shook his leg, flicking the mud that had stuck to it away.

Unfortunately, a clump of mud happened to be flicked onto the back of Blast Off's head not far away.

"Ah, damn it!"

Blast Off felt something hit the back of his head, reached out to touch it instinctively, and his expression changed drastically when he felt the moisture.

When he pulled his hand back and looked down, he was instantly furious.

He hurriedly turned his head to look at the still-babbling Brawl, then immediately stepped forward and shoved him hard.

"Hey, do you want to fight?"

Brawl had no intention of admitting fault, or rather, given his personality, such a word didn't exist in his dictionary.

Originally, he had followed Onslaught and the rest of the Combaticons to fly from the Moon to Earth.

The irritable and bellicose Brawl had thought that after arriving on Earth, he could immediately find that Decepticon traitor named Frenzy for a big fight to vent the anger he had been bottling up since his resurrection.

Who knew that Onslaught would lead them to such a godforsaken place, where there was mud and swamp everywhere.

They had been walking for several hours, yet they had only advanced a little over two hundred kilometers.

The naturally irritable Brawl was currently full of anger, and after being suddenly shoved by his teammate Blast Off, he nearly fell into the mud.

Instantly, the fire in his belly flared up.

He glared at Blast Off, while Blast Off, who was half a head taller than him, looked down at Brawl from his superior height.

"Get lost!"

Brawl's face twisted, and he raised his fist, throwing a punch at him with all his might.

Boom!

It was blocked by a wide palm reaching out from the side, which then quickly gripped Brawl's fist tightly.

At the same time, a low voice sounded beside Brawl, "Everyone, quiet down!"

It was Onslaught; he had easily subdued the hot-tempered Brawl while using a cold gaze to cool down Blast Off, who had also been provoked by Brawl.

The five members of the Combaticons were each a standard Decepticon.

This brand-new race, created single-handedly by Megatron, possessed one or even several of the original sins most loathed by humans almost every time one was transformed from a normal Cybertronian into a Decepticon.

Onslaught was arrogant to the point of conceit, Brawl was irritable and bellicose, Blast Off was naturally vainglorious, Vortex loved to bully the weak, and Swindle was insidious and cowardly.

Therefore, even though Onslaught had put a lot of effort into re-cultivating this new Combaticon team loyal to him.

He had focused on adjusting the four teammates' loyalty to himself, but he hadn't spent much effort on their personalities.

Consequently, the new members of the Combaticons, apart from being relatively loyal to Onslaught, were still full of defiance and disdain for the other teammates.

After being warned by his gaze, Blast Off gave a light snort at Brawl, but he did not defy Onslaught.

"Hmph!"

Onslaught released Brawl's fist with satisfaction and said, "Vortex, you explain to them why we came here!"

"Yes, Captain!"

In the original Combaticons, Vortex was Onslaught's deputy and advisor; he was more rational than most Decepticons, so after a little thought, he guessed sixty or seventy percent of Onslaught's intentions: "Starscream egging the Captain to come to Earth is nothing more than wanting to use our hands to clear out that Decepticon traitor—Frenzy!"

"According to some intelligence the Captain previously gathered from Starscream, although Frenzy comes from the Cassette Corps, he has truly accomplished many major things on Earth over the past few years."

"It is currently confirmed that after the Battle of Las Vegas, he obtained at least several Autobot corpses of Advanced Warrior rank or higher."

"The commander of the Cassette Corps—Soundwave—has been confirmed dead after being besieged by Frenzy and the Autobots, and the Triple Changer—Astrotrain—also fell in the same battle. It is said that the Seeker officer—Thundercracker—also perished at his hands."

"Although with the strength of our Combaticons, we should be able to take down Frenzy by surprise, the Captain clearly does not want to take the lead for Starscream; we don't have much hatred toward Frenzy."

"As for why we came here, I think it should be related to the battle between the Decepticon Legion and the humans not long ago!"

Onslaught nodded slightly; Vortex's analysis was partly in line with his thoughts, but not entirely correct.

There was some important information he had gathered from Starscream through side-probing that Onslaught had not told Vortex.

For example, Frenzy, who participated in the Battle of Las Vegas, likely held multiple fragments of the AllSpark.

For example, a genius scientist born during the era of the Cybertronian Elder Council—Jetfire—had likely joined forces with Frenzy.

The latter was fine; although Jetfire was half a disciple of Shockwave and also a legendary scientist.

However, at the birth of the Decepticon Legion, he had left Cybertron because he was unwilling to submit to Megatron.

Jetfire was not a full-time combatant to begin with, and having disappeared for millions of years, he posed no great threat to Onslaught, who had already stepped half a leg into the Leader Class.

It was the few AllSpark fragments that Frenzy might possess that truly tempted Onslaught.

Having had close contact with the AllSpark in Sector 7, he was well aware of the incredible nature of that holy object.

His own transformation should have been completed in a few years, but it was interrupted by a battle between the Autobots and the Decepticons on the Dark Side of the Moon after the Autobots invaded the Moon.

Onslaught was extremely angry about this, but at the time, he had just awakened, and Starscream had keenly captured his electromagnetic spectrum, thereby finding his place of hibernation.

Having lost the initiative, even if he wanted to choose another secluded place to sleep for a few years and wake up after completing his transformation, he could not.

Onslaught could not be sure if Starscream was keeping an eye on him all the time now.

The Giant Combiner—Bruticus—which he had cultivated while playing along with Starscream, had power that tempted Onslaught, but it brought with it unease and anxiety.

Accustomed to controlling everything, he could not be sure if Starscream had tampered with his body while modifying him.

Although Onslaught was arrogant, he also knew that in the field of scientific research, there was a significant gap between himself and Starscream.

If the other party had truly made some hidden arrangements, even he would very likely fall for it.

Therefore, he needed more time to repeatedly test and ensure that he and the members of the Combaticons were safe.

Thus, Onslaught had no way to choose to slumber again, and the AllSpark fragments in Frenzy's hands undoubtedly became his other option for advancement when he could not complete his transformation through sleep.

Onslaught clearly would not tell Vortex about these things.

He immediately changed the subject, "For that little guy Frenzy to be able to rise in just a few short years, there must be a great secret behind it, but there is no need for us to rush to act as Starscream's executioner's blade."

"A few days ago, Blitzwing personally led a group of Decepticons here and fought a battle against the humans of Earth."

"Starscream mentioned that the humans discovered something left behind by the Quintessons here, so I am preparing to go over and take a look..."

Before he could finish speaking, Onslaught suddenly raised his head to look toward the south, his expression turning solemn.

Just a moment ago, he had captured a batch of complex and powerful unfamiliar electromagnetic spectra.

There were over twenty unfamiliar Decepticons rapidly advancing toward this location.

After guessing dozens of possibilities in his Brain in an instant, Onslaught decisively issued an order, "A large number of unfamiliar Decepticons are rapidly approaching us, Combaticons, prepare for battle!"

Brawl and Blast Off, who were still glaring at each other with hostility, both snorted simultaneously, and immediately, a ferocious smile appeared on the face of every Decepticon in the Combaticons.

They had been pent up on the Moon for too long.
