Due to Soundshock156 having a busy life, I decided to do his challenge for him. I asked for permission and I got an all clear to do it. Now, my writing isn't the best out there and there will probably be a lot of errors in it. So, please bare with me on it and to notify me on any mistakes. Oh, and don't expect a real quick update cause I get several other stories to do and with all those including this, I got my hands full. So some updates will be faster or slower than others. But rest assured, I won't abandon this story nor my other stories.

Disclaimer: I don't anything from Teen Titans or Transformers.


In the skies of earth, a massive Deception warship was cruising through the air. And it is here, in that warship, that a certain communications officer was attempting to decode encryptions that will lead to potential weapons and gadgets that can benefit the Decepticon cause. As he was doing this, a Decepticon with a red finish walked into the bridge of the ship where Soundwave was in. The red Decepticon looked at Soundwave in amusement before cracking a joke.

"You know, Soundwave." Said Knockout. "You should really get out more. You don't want your skills in combat to go rusty now, am I right?" Soundwave stopped what he was doing to look at Knockout. He stared at him for a few minutes with his faceless, visor-like face. The medical officer of the Decepticons was creeped out by this. Not that it was anything different from his usual attempts to talk with Soundwave. The con never talked and just stared at anyone who attempted to talk with him until they leave. Besides Megatron, of course.

"Seriously Soundwave. Lighten up!" Said Knockout in annoyance, glaring at the communications officer. "There's nothing wrong with getting out of this dusty ship once and a while! Earth has a lot of fascinating things in it. Mostly from the humans, but still. Why do you insist on staying here on the Nemesis?" Rather than speak, Soundwave simply played a recording of their leader, Megatron.

"Soundwave. I want you to focus all your efforts in decrypting the Iacon database. Whatever is in that data will be the key to defeating the Autobots! Once and for all!" The recording then ended. With that, Soundwave went back to work in decrypting the Iacon data. Knockout just rolled his eyes. Soundwave was a bit too loyal to Megatron in his opinion.

"Whatever floats your boat, Soundwave. I'm going out on patrol." Said Knockout. Anything was better than staying on this ship with the creepiest Deception alive. He then left bridge in a huff. After some time, Soundwave decrypted an Iacon entry. As he was triangulating the location of the relic, he attempted to contact Megatron to no avail. He tried again and again until he was certain that he wouldn't get through to Megatron. He then remembered that Megatron and Dreadwing were out on a routine inspection mission on one of their energon mines, one that was deep enough to interfere with communications. He was judging on whether to contact Knockout to do this when he finally triangulated the location of the Iacon relic. He was a bit taken aback when he saw that it was all the way out on the continent the humans call Australia. The location was not too far away from the warship and the time it would take to round up a squad to take the artifact and get Knockout to go may give the Autobots the time they need to grab the artifact and disappear with it. Besides, it may give him the opportunity to see if he lost his skills in combat. With that, Soundwave opened a ground bridge and proceeded to enter it but not before ordering a Vehicon to tell Megatron on why he wasn't at his post. As he entered the portal, he considered the irony since Knockout told him to get out to the field.


Australia

Few minutes later


Soundwave was currently digging the ground for the Iacon relic with his tentacles. As he was drilling for the relic, he wondered what it was. Perhaps it was a weapon of mass destruction or a prototype Autobot armor. Or perhaps it was a more humanitarian device, like a energon convertor. He honestly hoped for the later as it would ease their need for mining energon. After a while of digging, Soundwave suspected that he was being watched by an Autobot, waiting for him to finish digging up the artifact so they can take it from him. They would be sorely disappointed if that was the case. There was no way that he will let them take it from him, whatever the relic is. With that, he finished digging and was completely confused on what the relic was. The relic was a hand-held device that was circular in nature. He picked it up and examined it. The relic didn't match any known Decepticon or Autobot designs. Perhaps it was a prototype that never made it passed the testing stage. Whatever it was, it was still worth something to the Decepticons. He was about to activate a ground bridge when suddenly, as he suspected, the Autobots Bumblebee and Bulkhead showed their faces and attacked him. He dodged their plasma shots and returned fire, forcing them to take cover. Seeing this as his opportunity to get away, he summoned a ground bridge and was about to leave when suddenly the Autobot Arcee came out of nowhere and shot at him in the back. The surprise attack got him off guard and forced him to the ground. Angry, the communications officer got back up and grabbed the femme with one of his tentacled before slamming her to the ground repeatedly. He was so caught up in this that he didn't consider the other two Autobots until Bulkhead slammed his wrecking ball onto Soundwave's face, causing him to fly back some distance and causing him to subconsciously tighten his grip on the relic, inadvertently activating it. He got up again and was about to attack when he along with the Autobots heard a beeping noise that was rapidly gaining speed. Looking at the relic, Soundwave realized that the relic was glowing and beeping rapidly. Thinking it was about to blow, the Autobots took cover behind some rocks. Soundwave was about to throw away the device when the device encased him in a bubble before the bubble disappeared with Soundwave in it. The Autobots looked at the spot where Soundwave used to be, only to see nothing. They looked at each other in confusion, wondering what happened to Soundwave and if he was alive.


Unknown location

Sometime later


As soon as Soundwave's systems rebooted, he looked around his surrounding to see that he was in a ship of some kind. The ship was obviously Cybertronian in nature but it wasn't the Nemesis. No systems were online and he saw that in what looked like the Bridge. Curious and worried, Soundwave walked to a console and attempted to restore power to it while also putting the relic that brought him here in the first place in his sub space. After a few minutes, he managed to restore some power to the console. Satisfied, Soundwave then looked at the ship's database to figure out what this ship was. Eventually, he found out that this was a science vessel of Decepticon origin. It was the vessel sovereign. The vessel was reported missing after an experiment gone wrong. Seeing that this ship could be of great value, he attempted to contact the Nemesis, only to get nothing. Thinking that he was too deep underground, he decided to repair the ship so he can use the communications array to contact the Nemesis. With that, he looked at the status report of the ship before deciding which sections he will attempt to fix first. After complying a list of what to do first and what he needs for repairs, Soundwave walked to the ship's reactor room so he can restore power to the whole ship.


Alright. One down. A whole lot more to go. And before anyone asks, it may take a chapter or two before Soundwave meets the Titans.
