Don't Trust Me
Finally, I plan to bring out possibly another long story and it will contain a lot of swearing, violence and have a dark tone with some light here and there. This will mark the return of most of my drone OCs like Kenny, Bloodbath, Sonny, Trips, Blueshot and Trapper...but mabye not all of them right away.
BUMBLEBEE X SOUNDWAVE! I USUALLY NEVER DO TWO DUDES BUT I GOT TEMPTED!
Chapter 1: Dark Times
There was a knock at Bumblebee's door one morning and the cheerful little Bumblebee went to open it. Normally one of his parents would go to the door instead but they allowed Bee to do it. Bumblebee opened the door to come face to face with a young purple slender mech with a visor over his face. Bumblebee smiled at his best friend.
"Hello Soundwave, how's your first week here in Kaon been?" Bumblebee asked.
"It's been wonderful, everyone says this place is dangerous and for tough mechs only. Hah, I don't believe it one bit." Soundwave chuckled.
"Me neither, hey the news is starting, wanna watch?" Bee asked.
"Sure!" Soundwave said stepping in.
Bumblebee's parents were still not so sure about Bumblebee's friend. The mech was creepy and mysterious. He hid his face under that visor and has never took it off. A lot of mechs on Cybertron were bullied or beaten harshly for hiding their face or not talking. Soundwave was never bullied or beaten...but many people had stayed away from him. Bumblebee had yet to see his face but he didn't mind since he respected privacy. Soundwave had made many new friends since the start of the week but it was Bumblebee who hung out with him the most.
"So...what's on the news that you really want to see?" Soundwave asked as the younglings went to sit in the living room.
"You know about that strange one-eyed assassin that works for that bounty hunter group?" Bee asked.
"Yeah...I think his name is Shockwave. Those bounty hunters are supposedly hunting down advanced mechs or strange unique ones. Shockwave is assigned to kill people who may know something about them but never give up the info. Plus, anyone who could ruin their organization must be killed as well. I'd hate to be anywhere near that guy." Soundwave explained.
"I know, I still wonder though...what strange mechs have they captured so far? Some say it's just a cover-up story and their after this one mech who was just created not too many years ago...so he must be a youngling...ooh the story is starting!" Bee said scooting closer to the TV.
"In recent news, another body has been found dumped by an alley with a hole in the mech's chest. Possibly from a large cannon. The murderer has yet to be indentified, but many believe the mech was part of a dangerous bounty hunter organization bent on destroying our military and rebels, discovering old cybertronians artifacts, studying old Predacon bones and interrogating people for information about unusual and mysterious figures that roam this planet. This group dates back to 30 years ago where a mysterious prophecy stated that a mech will be born as the smartest but deadliest mech that Cybertron will ever have. Some also say this mech will be born with the power and strength of Unicron but with the spark of Primus themselves. It is unknown what this mech truly looks like as it is said that he hides his entire face...but with the outbreak of cybertronians hiding their faces or never talking, it will be difficult to find out if this mech stands before us right now." The news reporter explains.
Bumblebee took a glance over at Soundwave who was looking at the screen. The mask...could it really be hiding something terrible? Bumblebee had never seen anyone with a deployer attached to their chest. He also had never scene someone with long thin claws. Soundwave also had several tentacles that came from his chest. He was strange...but Bumblebee didn't care. Soundwave was his best friend no matter what.
"Soundwave...would you like to stay tonight...we can play a bunch of games, stay up late, talk about our futures." Bumblebee said as his optics got bigger and bigger.
"Sure Bee, I would like that!" Soundwave turned to him.
That night, Bumblebee and Soundwave had just got done playing some games when Bumblebee thought now would be a good time to bring up the mask.
"Soundwave, you seemed...surprised by that news report. You never talked about it afterwards." Bumblebee said as they put away the video games.
"I know...it's just...surprising how people can be so cruel." Soundwave shook his head.
"I know, it's sickening. If I could, I would change the world for the better."
"You and me both."
"Why does there have to a group sworn to spy and study shy people? It's just wrong and stupid."
"I agree, but what exactly could we do?"
"So Soundwave, I completely understand privacy...but...I got to know...what's under your mask." Bumblebee finally asked.
Soundwave turned to him and tilted his head. Bumblebee learned that when his head tilted, it meant he was confused, curious or shy. Bumblebee now worried if he made the right choice.
"I can't tell you...it's secret. You wouldn't like me if you knew. You'd probably be scared of me." Soundwave said beginning to whimper.
"Aw Soundwave, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. But I would not be afraid of you...even if you were one of those mechs they were talking about. Your secret would be safe with me Soundwave...I promise." Bumblebee assured.
"Well...fine...but only for a few seconds..." Soundwave said getting closer to Bee.
Bumblebee gulped before slowing proceeding to grab on the sides of the mask. A few hisses of clicks could be heard as the mask loosened. Bumblebee prepared himself as he gulped one more time before slowly moving the mask away. Bumblebee kept his optics shut at first as he opened them..he gasped.
"Soundwave..."
Under the mask, Soundwave did not look normal at all. His optics were dark blue and wolf-like. A line ran down both optics to his mouth that was filled with sharp teeth and two big fangs that extended past his bottom lip. But Bumblebee could sense no anger his optics, Soundwave was nervous. And for some reason, Bumblebee felt his cheeks heat up.
"Don't be scared." Soundwave whimpered.
"I'm not...I'm just fascinated. So you really are one of them."
"Yeah...my parents however look normal, unlike me."
"Surely you don't think you're that one mech they were talking about do you?"
"No...but I'm not sure. What if I am? I've been having a lot of strange dreams lately, like Primus is trying to say something to me.
"Well, if you're a dangerous and deadly...I think that's cool. It should make you feel invincible. Soundwave, you'll always be the coolest friend I ever had. Have you ever taken it off before?"
"Yeah...but it has a side effect. It makes me go feral if I have it off for so long. Can I have it back?" Soundwave asked as Bee gave it to him.
"Soundwave, you'll still be my friend if you do turn out to be that mech right?" Bumblebee asked.
"As long as you can trust me." Soundwave sighed.
"Always..."
Far away, a group of mechs were just returning to a large building after spying around the whole town of Kaon. Inside, countless pictures of weird figures and artifacts covered the walls. There was also a lab where Predacon bones and old cybertronian bodies were placed on tables for study. Giant tubes with blue liquid were placed in each corner with a body floating inside. Tools laid scattered around and splatters of energon were all over the floor. In the main room, about 20 mechs have gathered around discussing their findings. Many answers were "no" or "very little". Files of paperwork were scattered around the tables. One mech stood on a platform higher than everyone else and spoke up.
"Alright listen up everyone, it seems that these figures are getting clever at hiding. They know something about this special mech and they won't tell us. But recently, a new mech has entered Kaon. He's however a youngling...but he's another masked mech. The search for this mech that is told of in the prophecy may be coming to a close soon." The mech explained receiving murmurs and sighs from others.
The mech then held up a remote and turned on the big screen behind him and there was an image of Soundwave and Bumblebee sitting on a bench. The others gasped and looked at each other.
"We need to know more about this Soundwave." One said.
"Is he a talker?" Another asked.
"Yes, but I don't think we've ever see a mech like him before. Normally we see mechs who just cover their mouths or eyes...his whole face is covered here." The mech said.
"Who is that other one?" One asked.
"I've seen that yellow and black kid. We don't know him name though." Said another mech.
"Then find this mech, get him to tell us about Soundwave, and we can begin our plan of executing the military and start our own before they wage battle against other planets. They refuse to believe we have the power to seize control...so we will make them believe. And if this mech is really what the prophecies tell us, then we will take his power and use it to make us STRONGER!"
Everyone cheered and roared. The assassin, Shockwave, was also there but stood against a wall thinking. Why bother interrogating, when they could simply kill them? He had not seen this mech before, so he should be hired to seek them out. Instead, the leader of the organization chose two others. Shockwave grumbled as some of the mechs began to leave. For about a week, Bumblebee and Soundwave were followed everywhere. But the younglings were too occupied to notice. Soundwave hadn't done anything wrong. They both ate together, played tag, hide-and-seek, wrestled, and often just walked around talking to their other friends.
"Hmm, we need to know more soon. I think it's time we catch them." One of the two assigned mechs said.
"I agree, we'll wait for the perfect time." The other one said.
One night, Bumblebee and Soundwave were at Soundwave's house this time. The two had grown a very strong bond...a rather...loving bond. Soundwave felt more comfortable to take his mask off whenever they were alone. But tonight, things were going to be a little different. The door and window was shut and they were laying on the bed.
"Hey Soundwave, I thought you said you go feral when you have the mask off for so long." Bee said seeing his friend's exposed face.
"I know...but come on, it couldn't be as bad as I remember." Soundwave giggled.
"Wait...do you have like some control over it?" Bee asked.
"Yeah, I just get that urge to pounce on something, bite or claw." Soundwave moved one clawed hand in a scratching motion.
"Oh...I guess that isn't bad." Bee shrugged.
Soundwave suddenly began to twitch and his optics grew.
"It's starting." Soundwave said as a primal growl escpaed his vocalizer.
Bumblebee dared himself to look at Soundwave who's optics became even more wolf-like, and he licked his lips. Bumblebee was starting to heat up and his cooling fans kicked in. Soundwave turned to him with a giant smirk, his fangs bending to support it.
"See Bumblebee...complete control." Soundwave assured trying to sound calm.
"I see, and I'm not scared Soundwave." Bumblebee chuckled and rolled his optics.
"Oh yeah?"
Soundwave moved on top of Bumblebee and just stared at him. Bumblebee couldn't take his optics of Soundwave's dark blue ones. Despite the cooling fans, Bumblebee started to get hotter and Soundwave could sense it.
"Should we?" Bee asked.
"Should we?" Soundwave smirked.
Soundwave took his claws and started scraping slowly down Bee's chest, sparks flying off.
"I'm really starting to like this feral side of you Soundwave." Bee smirked as he retracted his mouthguard.
"So am I Bee." Soundwave said.
Before they knew it, their lips touched. They couldn't believe it, their first actual kiss, they actually did it. Soundwave pinned Bee's arms to the bed as they continued kissing. This went on for a good 10 minutes before they decided to stop. Bumblebee had to get home.
"Well?" Soundwave asked.
"That was...nice. We should do this again soon." Bumblebee said.
"Yeah...real soon!" Soundwave said.
"Well, I'll see you tomorrow." Bee said as he left the room.
"Goodnight Bee!" Soundwave said putting back on his mask.
They didn't live that far from each other. Soundwave could see Bee's bedroom from his own. He always watched Bee enter his house...but for some reason...he never entered. Soundwave was confused. He decided to see what's wrong.
"I hope he's okay." Soundwave said running out of the house.
As he approached his house...he spotted something on the ground. It looked like there had been a struggle. A few drops of energon and a lone tire was left on the sidewalk...Bumblebee's tire. Soundwave picked it up.
"No...what happened? I didn't hear anything. I didn't see anything." Soundwave began to cry.
He looked around...no one was in sight. He fell to his knees and cried while holding the tire to his chest. Where did Bumblebee go?
To be continued...
