Prologue.
The two decepticons watched the small 'con crawl on his hands and feet around the room, rambling endlessly in their native tongue. The tiny silver robot squawked as his blue optics turned and locked with the red ones of the pair standing a few feet away. There was a shudder from the short yet agile creature, then what could almost be described as a crackle, the 'con next to the seeker scowled at the sound. The azure orbs flared before the creature crawled forward, limbs and body twisted with each movement, and soon sat in front of them as if he were waiting on a command.
"Starscream: are you sure about this," came the monotone voice of one decepticon.
The seeker grinned, "Of course, Soundwave. He is perfect for accomplishing what I desire."
"Barricade—"
"They will be fine," Starscream hissed as he turned his sights to the other decepticon. The emotionless being didn't so much as blink at the hostility, which only angered the jet farther, so much so that the long claw-like fingers of his robotic form twitched. "I am the leader, and you will listen to me, understood?"
"Megatron: Superior, Starscream: Inferior," he replied droningly.
"You—!" The seeker screeched out as his optics blazed angrily, "Megatron is not here, you stupid piece of tin! I am the leader now, and you will respect me!"
The small 'con on the floor shuddered as he watched the arguing elders, his tiny head tilting and almost turning completely around. There was a silence that followed, the cassetticon shrieked as he twisted around and flopped over, landing on his stomach. He was promptly ignored by the two larger decepticons, Soundwave's optics dimmed while he gave a jerky nod.
"Affirmative," came the decepticon's monotone reply.
"Good," the seeker seemed rather pleased with the response, although he didn't all together believe it. He knew that the other 'con did not honestly obey anyone other then Megatron, however, with the commander missing and Starscream being SIC, he wanted to ensure that everyone knew they he was the stand in leader. "Now, Barricade will be here soon so we must get this little scra— what he is doing?"
Once the seeker's sights had moved from the recorder to the cassetticon, he noticed the tiny little robot had found something to amuse himself with. This something was the azure eyed creature tugging roughly on his own foot, almost as if the little slagger was attempting to just pull it right off his leg. Starscream was mortified at the very sight of this action, because it was something very un-decepticon-like, although the recorder didn't seem as horrified. His audio just released a light sigh noise as he answered the seeker's question;
"Frenzy: uninterested . Result: Frenzy has found interest in his form."
"I see that," the seeker hissed before jabbing a clawed finger in the direction of the smaller decepticon. "Stop that this instant!"
The small robot did not obey, he mere continued his action while squealing gleefully. In all honesty, it took all Soundwave had not to allow his amusement to show, despite his normal monotone nature. This didn't seem to please the self-proclaimed leader at all, Starscream scowled as he tried to nab the small creature and ended up missing, when he just rolled (still attacking his own foot, much to the seeker's dismay) out of the larger 'con's reach.
"Soundwave," the seeker screeched in his best commanding tone, with his frustrations showing. "Get it to stop this nonsense before Barricade arrives!"
"Frenzy," came the dull audio of Soundwave. The small robot stopped his furious tugging and stared up at the larger being, blue optics shuddering with forged innocence. There was a nod from Soundwave before he turned his glowing red gaze to the stand in leader of the decepticons. He almost snickered at the sight of the glowering figure a few inches away, how the seeker seemed to wish nothing more then to stomp on the tiny robot. "Action ceased."
"I can see that," he growled before motioning his a clawed hand to the psychotic robot. He turned quickly while shooting a glare over his wing at the pair behind him, he was clearly not amused with the lack of respect. "Get the little scrap metal ready for his mission, have Barricade report to me before they leave— I have other business to take care of."
Soundwave only gave a short acknowledgment of the SIC's orders, watching as the seeker disappeared through the exit and probably headed to the far end of the Headquarters. He turned his sights to the small cassetticon that had started reaching for his foot once more, before noticing that he was under the watchful gaze of his boss. Sharp, pointed teeth became visible as the small creature seemed to grin devilishly at him, the one named Frenzy bound to his feet slyly and swayed. He spoke in a quick sentence in the native language of them both, Soundwave's optics dimmed slightly.
The larger robot knew that Barricade was not ready for handling Frenzy, not many were, and he could already see the chaos that the tiny 'con was to cause. His audio sensors echoed a sigh as the small creature squawked, crawling around on the floor again. He almost didn't want to trust the brute with his cassetticon but their self-proclaimed leader had commanded it, he was sure to tell Megatron about this the moment he was located. The seeker would pay.
End Note: Not the best ever, but the next chapter is going to be better, I'm sure. I know there's a lot of G1 references in this chapter but, I couldn't stop myself. I officially believe I have a foot fetish too. There is something about tiny 'cons attacking their own feet that amuse me. I mean, its so cute! I could imagine that little bugger lashing out at his foot, and it makes me smile!
This obviously takes place before the movie, and will probably be the last we'll see of Soundwave for a long time, possibly until the final chapter. Sorry Soundwave fans. Most of this story will be about Starscream, Barricade, and Frenzy - maybe some others, not sure yet.
Feel free to review, give constructive criticism but no flames. I know this series won't be that good, but I'm posting to become more aware of my flaws and work on them. :)
