The Monster of Kaon (Transformers Si): Chapter 70
🕑 Added 2025-08-13 06:29:00 +0000 UTCWithin a secret bunker deep beneath Beijing, a large number of researchers worked on several projects at a time, trying to understand the strange technology that their government appropriated from the aliens.
However, their efforts stopped when the alarms rang out across the facility, followed by the security of the installation storming every room.
“有賊闖入府中！速即離此！” (Intruders within the facility! Exit the premises immediately!)
With the shout from the head of the security, the researchers fled the area, after which the security followed protocol and started to lock down everything.
The data that could not be secured was destroyed, and artifacts were quickly transported into choppers waiting for them above the facility.
Soon, a part of Beijing became a hive of activity as the Chinese government fabricated a supposed terrorist threat and cordoned off a section of the city, which housed their secret facility.
“大人！眾人皆已撤離，本地諸伺服亦盡銷除，實物證據已運往他處。下步當如何？” (Sir! Everyone has been evacuated, and all the local servers have been wiped. The physical evidence has been shipped to another site. What's next?)
“聯絡 NEST 之使，告之事有不諧，且令其勿洩於諸使。我等未明彼國之計，斷不可先露己手” (Contact the NEST representative. Tell him that we have a situation. Make sure he does not inform the other representatives about this. We cannot allow the other nations to know our hand before we know theirs.)
The security head nodded at the words of the head researcher and went to coordinate with his men, not noticing how the head researcher’s eyes momentarily flashed red.
It was only when the choppers took off and started heading towards a certain direction that things became weird.
Once the choppers crossed the Beijing borders, the military personnel within the choppers started to glitch, revealing clusters of construction drones held together magnetically. Revealing that they were not of human make.
Once the hologram faded, the drones separated and started to eat through the choppers, including the Cybertronian technology that this country secretly hid and experimented on despite the deal set up with Cybertron.
“I knew it. They would never give up everything just because we reached an agreement. Greed is a part of their very nature. ”
‘Even if they are a far more civil version compared to what I know.’
The head researcher’s words echoed in the air while his thoughts remained private as he flew alongside the choppers, revealing that he was not a human.
“Were we so different?”
The ‘researcher’ chuckled as his body rippled like water and expanded in size, revealing that it was Maximus in a human disguise.
As for the real researcher whose identity he had appropriated? He would be found within his home a day later, still sleeping from the effects of the sleeping drug that Maximus had fed him after infiltrating his home.
“True. However, I am still disappointed in them. I expected them to be a little more honest in their dealings. Granted, they technically did not break any of our terms since what they were experimenting on were Data Cylinders, which cannot be called ‘Cultural and technological relics’ from Cybertron or its colonies, as they are a category of their own, thanks to their very nature. But still.”
“I know. I am just as disappointed. But, in the end, I do not think they hold any ill will towards us. Perhaps, they are just trying to protect their own world from a perceived threat.”
“I know, Orion. But I also think that this kind of deceitfulness is distasteful.”
“Isn’t that why Agent Fowler and I are secretly helping you eradicate such secrets from this world while the Decepticons and our forces help you gather the scattered relics of Iacon?”
“Haha! True. How are they doing, by the way?”
“Arcee, Bumblebee, Bulkhead, and the new arrival called Smokescreen have already located the first relic and are in the process of excavating it in the Antarctic. Knockout, Soundwave, and Breakdown have located the second one somewhere in Scotland. The third relic has already been brought back to the base by Megatron, Skyquake, and Dreadwing. It was the Phase Shifter. The fourth relic was already found by the Insecticons, revealing that it was a container of Tox-En. Hardshell decided to destroy it for the safety of all of us by throwing it inside the volcano where he found it in the first place.”
“Sound decision on Hardshell’s part. What about the last one?”
“See for yourself.”
Optimus Prime, the leader of the Autobots, sent over a video feed, showing the shining Cybertronian sword held within his hands.
Maximus could not help but laugh as he saw the Relic of the Primes.
“Of course that old bastard would keep Prima’s prized weapon with him all this time before sending it here for you. Did you try putting the Matrix at its hilt yet?”
“No. I do not wish to test it lest we lose both of them. Especially since I don’t trust anything that Alpha Trion sent for me. It could be a trap made to either manipulate me or eliminate me if I go against his predictions of the future.”
Maximus gave a somber nod at those words.
“True. There is no telling what that control freak is capable of doing for his own plans to proceed unhindered. Have Chela and the others informed you about any other interesting coordinates from Project Iacon?”
“None. They say that these five coordinates were the only interesting ones. Every other relic is either a weapon from the Civil War era, such as the Immobilizer, the Spark Extractor, and various other such things that we already retrieved some time ago, or Data Cylinders of the Ancients, which you have already retrieved or destroyed in a single day.”
Maximus smirked at those words.
“Of course I did. Did you forget who I am? There is nothing in this world or our own that can stop me when I am sufficiently determined.”
“True. Fowler was ranting for an hour straight when we discussed your plan to hit all the countries of this planet and either retrieve or destroy all the Data Cylinders, including the ones that Humanity has with them, in a single day, saying that something like that was impossible to achieve for anyone.”
“And yet, here we are.”
“Indeed.”
Maximus shook his head as he imagined the human’s angry rants and his exasperation at his plans.
“Anyways, tell Fowler to be ready. ETA is 5 minutes. I want all the relics gathered and ready for transportation back to Cybertron.”
“Acknowledged.”
With that, the communication went silent as the many drones completed their task of devouring all evidence, including the Data Cylinders that they appropriated from the bunker beneath Beijing.
Once they were done, they swarmed around Maximus before his body rippled again as they entered his body, reduced to pure Cybermatter that became one with Maximus.
With his task done, Maximus transformed into his alt-mode and took off for low Earth orbit. It was from there that he engaged his thrusters and flew back to the Autobot base.
