I do not own transformers and only own this story and my OC.

Soundwave POV:

"This is it, we will make it out of here" I spoke to Laserbeak in my baritone voice, she chirped back at me and I smiled behind my visor.

Being alone with only Laserbeak for company had allowed me to use my voice more often, even though I would need to stop speaking once we were out of the shadow zone, we had already escaped once, only to be sent back to this slagging place.

I turned back to a machine I had been working on, it was simple, made of nothing but the things that I managed to find in this infernal place, I did not know if it would work or not but I knew that if we could get out of here, it would be worth every second of it's building.

I had only just completed it, but I felt the need to use it right away. I needed to contact the decepticons and find Megatron, I needed to know if the war was truly over, and what his intentions were now.

I took a step toward the machine, then another, and another, and another, till i was right in front of the machine.

I take a look at all the pieces put together. This piece of machinery that I had crafted was going to send me away from this prison.

I could recognize a few parts that came from bots that had offlined in the shadowzone and some pieces that I didn't know where they came from.

The one piece that was noticeable the most was a shiny gear, it had some strange carvings in it, most of which I did not understand.

The only line that I knew what it meant was very strange, it said 'for the great future of our experiments…' I could not understand the rest of the sentence but decided that it was something that I needed.

I lifted my servo and placed it on the lever that would send us home.

"Ready" I asked Laserbeak as she attached to me, she chirped in reply.

I then stood to the machine and vented, 'home' I thought to myself, I pulled the lever.

There was a bright flash of light, then darkness.
