[Johnny: How many years has it been? 100 years? 500 years?]
[Johnny: Holy shit, Military Technology can produce such outrageous things now? Transforrs? New product?]
Lille got up from the broken wooden boards.
Luckily, at that ti he still had sowhere to hide, grabbing the nunchuk of a Decepticon’s corpse and running away.
The power of this plasma gun was clearly dialed down a lot, and possibly at its minimum setting, but if he had taken a hit, Lille could say goodbye to this world now.
This shot completely lted the floor of Sam’s room, and Lille struggled to keep his balance during the collapse, but still couldn’t help but plunge downward.
As he was falling, all he could do was curse:
Honestly, his intention this ti was to save Sam and slowly figure out a plan afterward.
But unexpectedly, Bumblebee nearly took him out in return...
Thinking back on it, it does make sense, since the Magic Cube Fragnt seems to transform into Decepticons mostly. The exact reason why this happens is still unclear.
Bang.
Lille hit the floor.
[Johnny: Why isn’t this AI talking? Are you human or AI? Is this so evil plan by Military Technology?]
He still had to listen to Johnny Silverhand’s constant nagging in his head...
AIs theoretically shouldn’t get annoyed, but Lille was starting to get reacquainted with the feeling of irritation.
[Lille: Can you shut up!]
[Johnny: It’s not like I wanted to be stuck with you! You brainless AI brought here, tell your...]
Ding.
The ceiling was still collapsing, and rubble hit the Magic Cube Fragnt, knocking it in front of Lille.
This thing gave Lille Spark Energy, and just a bit of radiation brought him back to life.
[Lille: Listen, I know you have a lot of questions, but we handle one at a ti. From now on, you can only ask when I let you, or we’re both dead, understand?]
[Lille: I’ll answer your first question, I’m not an AI, I’m human.]
[Johnny: Alright, alright, kidnapped by Arasaka, now in a supposedly human AI’s head... Wait a minute, how did I end up in an AI’s head?]
Lille muted Johnny, planning to explain later.
The Magic Cube is the energy source contested by the two factions of Transforrs, used to create new Transforrs, repair damaged ones, and it contains the knowledge and texts of Cybertron...
In the battle from *Transforrs 1*, Sam shoved it into the chest of the Decepticon leader gatron, defeating him, but it also turned the Cube into a fragnt.
Lille vaguely rembered and logically thought it would be a key point in the plot.
But now, it was his key point.
Lille went to move his legs to grab the Magic Cube Fragnt, but Sam walked in briskly—
The first thing the boy saw was a half-damaged Transforr reaching for the Magic Cube Fragnt...
In human eyes, Transforrs are weird, and deadly weird at that, looming fear was maxed out, not to ntion the small Decepticons that just showed up in droves!
Sam’s fear peaked instantly, and a sense of urgency made him grab the fire extinguisher on the table and scream loudly—
Lille raised his hands: "Don’t scream! I’m a good guy!"
"Bumblebee!"
Lille was ready to make a run for it, but his sensors didn’t pick up the heavy footfalls of Bumblebee hitting the ground.
It seed Bumblebee was indeed throwing a tantrum.
But it wasn’t that he was slacking off in protecting Sam; he peeked his head out from the garage, secretly watching Sam in the kitchen...
That big guy probably thought he was being covert.
Lille thought for a mont and took his hand off the Magic Cube Fragnt:
"I’m heartbroken, I just helped you take down several Decepticons, and now you’re using a weapon... uh, fire extinguisher against ."
Sam seed a bit confused too and shuffled towards the Magic Cube Fragnt and Lille.
Honestly, Lille really wanted to snatch the fragnt right now, but doing so would likely end his Transforr career here...
"You’re an Autobot? Never seen one this small..."
"I’m... uh, it’s a bit complicated."
[Johnny: Those big things are Transforrs, and you claim to be human, you might as well call yourself Hulkinghuman.]
"Amazing, this thing fell to the ground and made a pile of Transforrs..."
Sam pulled a small bottle from his pocket, intending to put the Magic Cube Fragnt inside with tweezers...
Lille suddenly said: "This is Cybertron Technology, are you sure you want to stash it in your pocket instead of handing it over to the Transforrs outside?"
Sam’s sneaky deanor clearly indicated he didn’t plan to hand this over to Bumblebee...
Honestly, Lille didn’t quite get what that ant.
Sam did play a major role in defeating gatron and preventing him from acquiring the Cube, but he was still just a college-bound student.
He had no technical expertise, no official connections, and the thing was of no use to him.
Lille vaguely recalled Sam placing it in a bottle and handing it to his girlfriend, then telling Bumblebee he was off to college and that the Transforr should also pursue his own life...
To be honest, Lille understood Sam’s desire for a normal life, but wasn’t that exactly why he should hand the fragnt to Bumblebee?
Sam paused for a mont: "I just want to live a normal life..."
"Then shouldn’t you let the Autobots handle it?"
"I..." Sam glanced at Bumblebee outside the door, who had no clue what Sam was up to, just wanted Sam to feel what it’s like to be left hanging.
"Uh... that makes so sense, but this thing zapped just now, I keep feeling like handing it over would prevent from going to college..."
[Johnny: What’s with this kid, given a company-owned item, and he’s still fixated on college and dating?]
[Johnny: Dating is important, college, I can’t say much.]
Lille shared Johnny’s perspective on this, but... like they said, sotis people are oblivious to consequences and get too wrapped up in themselves...
Of course, the main reason was Sam’s unique thinking; for the sake of enjoying college life, he was ignoring everything, thinking that hiding it would an nothing ever happened, an ostrich ntality.
Lille straightforwardly said: "Why not keep the spark source with you, and I’ll store the fragnt for you."
"You? Are Decepticons this sly now?"
"...I’m not a Decepticon."
"Oh, then I’m a Decepticon." Sam put the Magic Cube Fragnt in his pocket and was about to call Bumblebee.
Lille quickly said: "If you call him and he annihilates , I’ll just tell him the Magic Cube Fragnt is in your pocket!"
[Johnny: Way to go, risking your life on this brainless kid’s desire to go to college.]
Johnny made a point: risking your life on such a matter is... brainless.
To Johnny, Lille and Sam both seed a bit brainless.
But Lille had Negative Energy, he could accurately sense Sam’s emotions: perhaps Sam wasn’t thinking clearly, but he was still cognizant.
Sam clutched the bottle, wrestling with himself, then shoved the fragnt into his pocket:
"Alright, I’ll keep the fragnt on , you can co with , and I’ll let Bumblebee and the other Autobots know you’re beside ."
Lille nodded—
This was better.
A ten-year-old Johnny appeared in Lille’s sensors, astonished.
[Johnny: Two brainiacs... ugh!]
Lille simply allocated so computational resources and conjured a giant carrot, firmly stuffing it into Johnny’s loud mouth.
