Chapter 991: Skyfire, Return

On the metal platform, Jetfire, having just finished changing into his New Body, abruptly opened his eyes.

At the same time, he began to mutter to himself in a low voice, "Who... am I..."

"Who... am I..."

"Who... am I..."

Just like a computer crashing, Jetfire kept muttering this same sentence over and over for a long time.

Hearing footsteps coming from behind, Sun Cheng did not need to turn around to look, as he also sensed the different electromagnetic spectra coming from the surroundings.

"Commander!"

It was the voice of a high-ranking Decepticon Warrior, who were responsible for providing security around this Laboratory for the experiments of the Academy of Sciences.

"Everything is fine here, withdraw!"

Sun Cheng ordered calmly, his gaze still fixed on Jetfire not far away.

Before being awakened, Jetfire had already been repeatedly attempted to be awakened dozens of times in this Laboratory by the team led by Kongsi.

Previously, his original body was too decayed, so even though his Spark had been artificially replenished with energy, it could only slowly repair that severely decayed body.

This process clearly dragged out Jetfire's awakening.

Plus, Sun Cheng did not have any more AllSpark fragments available to use for awakening Jetfire!

In the end, he accepted the suggestion proposed by Kongsi to directly design and build a New Body for Jetfire.

According to Kongsi's speculation at the time, the reason why Jetfire had not woken up after they had nursed him for several months was fundamentally because his body was too decayed.

The Spark had to concentrate most of its energy on continuously repairing the entire decayed body.

Because this process required time, when this data was fed back to the Core, Jetfire's Core issued a command under its self-protection mechanism not to wake up.

Over the past few years, Kongsi had repeatedly studied many of the remains they had captured, and had led the replacement of New Bodies for almost all the important combat forces within the Base, except for Sun Cheng himself.

Therefore, he had rich experience in this area.

Kongsi believed that once Jetfire was changed into a New Body,

after the Spark and the Core within his Brain were reactivated and running, it would soon determine that the body had finished repairs.

Therefore, the protection mechanism that was guarding Jetfire and keeping him unable to wake up would fail as a result, and there was a high probability that Jetfire would wake up again.

Sun Cheng's understanding in this area was very limited, but he knew how to use people to their strengths.

So when Kongsi proposed this viewpoint, he only thought about it for a moment before quickly agreeing with his opinion.

Looking at it now, not only was Kongsi's suggestion correct, but Sun Cheng had also bet correctly once again.

Just like a crashed computer, Jetfire's unchanging self-muttering continued for a long time.

However, Sun Cheng, who was observing him carefully, and Kongsi, who had already withdrawn all his tentacles from Jetfire's body, both discovered that at this moment, strange, peculiar runes were rapidly flickering within Jetfire's eyes, which were also a deep blue.

"He is undergoing some kind of metamorphosis; his consciousness is returning!"

Kongsi whispered a reminder to Sun Cheng, and just as he turned around, a pair of large hands suddenly pulled him behind them.

It was Sun Cheng!

He quickly stood in front of the metal platform, looking down at Jetfire, who had suddenly braced himself and was half-propped up on the metal platform.

At this time, the strange runes flickering in Jetfire's eyes were already about to disappear.

He stared blankly at Sun Cheng; just a moment ago, it was Jetfire who had unconsciously reached out his hand, wanting to grab Kongsi, who was standing right in front of the metal platform.

"Who am I? Where is this?"

The moment his eyes met Sun Cheng's, Jetfire, whose consciousness was still not very clear, asked him in a somewhat aged voice.

Sun Cheng secretly increased his vigilance a little, then answered him calmly: "You are Jetfire, and this is Earth, our new home!"

"Jetfire... Earth... new home..."

These few words were constantly repeated in the blank-faced Jetfire's mouth.

Then, it was as if a switch inside his body had been flipped.

Jetfire's body trembled violently, and at the same time, cracks appeared once again on the chest of the newly fused New Body.

"It's a rejection reaction; his consciousness is returning rapidly, and he likely feels that this is not his original body, so his subconscious is violently rejecting the new body!" Kongsi shouted loudly.

Sun Cheng stepped forward quickly, suddenly reached out a hand, grabbed the neck of Jetfire, who was struggling to stand up, and pressed him hard onto the metal platform.

"Screech!"

The hard armor of Jetfire's New Body rubbed against the metal platform, and it was unclear whether it was the armor or the surface of the platform, but some obvious screeching sounds of distortion appeared under the pressure.

"Help him guide and resolve the rejection reaction!" After controlling Jetfire, Sun Cheng immediately issued the order.

Jetfire's arms and thighs were struggling with all their might.

Unfortunately, his strength was far inferior to Sun Cheng's, and the New Body had not yet been loaded with a combat system, so although Sun Cheng was only using one hand, he still firmly pressed this great scientist of Cybertron of the past onto the metal platform, unable to move at all.

"Yes!"

Kongsi and the others immediately stepped forward again, reached out their hands, and extended countless tentacles, drilling into Jetfire's New Body, wanting to help him suppress or even slow down the rejection reaction as much as possible.

But they soon discovered that it couldn't be done!

"Commander, his body has autonomously begun to defend against our intrusion; we can't help him guide and suppress the rejection reaction!"

Kongsi roared his report to Sun Cheng, but in fact, he didn't need to report it; Sun Cheng had already seen with his own eyes that every liquid metal tentacle flying out from them was immediately repelled the moment it touched Jetfire's New Body.

"You all step back!"

Sun Cheng gave an order, then looked at Jetfire and said in a deep voice: "Jetfire... I know your consciousness has begun to awaken and you can hear my words."

"Listen to me, your body had completely decayed during your long slumber, so after we found you, we redesigned and manufactured this New Body for you..."

"Now, relax your vigilance. If we had malicious intent toward you, you wouldn't have been able to wake up at all!"

He kept repeating these few sentences, but the answer to Sun Cheng was still continuous struggling.

Fortunately, Sun Cheng did not find it difficult to handle this level of intensity.

Finally, after repeating it I don't know how many times.

Sun Cheng finally felt that the frequency of the struggling of Jetfire, whom he had forcefully pressed onto the metal platform, was becoming lower and lower, and his strength was also becoming smaller and smaller.

"His consciousness has received this information!"

Kongsi shouted happily from the side.

When Jetfire's consciousness returned, besides loading the information in the Memory Chip, the Core would also detect the body and the surrounding environment, and retain the information captured by the five senses for the returning consciousness to process.

Clearly, Jetfire's consciousness had read these words that Sun Cheng had spoken.

Finally, after tossing and turning for another two-plus hours, Jetfire opened his eyes again.

Looking at Sun Cheng, who was still using his hands to tightly grip his neck, pinning him to the metal platform.

This Decepticon, whose face looked aged and peaceful, suddenly frowned.

"Impudent brat, you can let go of your dirty hands now!"

Jetfire, has returned!
