Soundwave sat at his desk in his quarters. His spark fluttered excitedly at the message alert that flashed across his data pad. He smiled behind his mask and opened the message.

" 'cons started raiding the neighborhood. I packed everything, I'm on my way to earth. I told Shockwave I wanted to join the war and follow under Megatrons command. I'm coming in with the new recruits."

-Astrolyte

The data pad fell from Soundwaves servos. He quickly exited his room and headed towards the command room.

The doors opened as Soundwave entered, Megatron and Starscream turning to face him. "Ah, Soundwave. Just the mech I was looking for. Shockwave just contacted us and told us he's sending in some new recruits. I want you, Starscream, Skywarp and Thundercracker to go and retrieve them from the space bridge." Megatron instructed. Starscream and Soundwave nodded and Starscream contacted his trine mates to meet them outside.

Once outside Starscream was informing Skywarp and Thundercracker of their duties when Soundwave spoke up, "Astrolyte is one of the recruits."

"What? Why? Why is she joining the Decepticons? Is everything alright?" Thundercracker asked worriedly.

Back on Cybertron Soundwave was actually good friends with Starscream and his trine. They lived across the hall from each other in their apartment building.

"Statement: Astrolyte said the Decepticons on Cybertron started raiding the complex so she left before they reached her and joined the Decepticons to come to earth." Soundwave explained. "But, what about Megatron? And the other 'cons? Astrolyte will be the only femme here! And no offense but..she's pretty slaggin attractive Soundwave." Skywarp exclaimed. Thundercracker slapped his younger trine mate across the back of the helm as Starscream stared at him in disapproval. Soundwave expelled the air from his vents heavily before taking off towards the space bridge. The three seekers following after him.

~Time Skip~

The four high ranking Decepticons reached the space bridge just as the new recruits came through. The new Decepticons included the Insecticons, Reflector, the Stunticons, a few random bots, and then Astrolyte. Soundwaves spark fluttered again in excitement and euphoria. He smiled behind his mask. Astrolyte gave a small smile, discreetly towards Soundwave before gathering the few boxes of belongings she brought with her. She huffed annoyedly as Drag Strip and Wildrider approached her. "Need a big strong mech to carry those for you?" Drag Strip asked as he reached out towards the boxes. Astrolyte shoved his hand away, "No thank you. I can carry them just fine."

"Mine names Wildrider. Feel free to hit my com link if you ever want a wild ride." He winked at her. Astrolyte stifled a laugh as she picked up the three boxes and walked away. She came to stop in front of Soundwave and the seekers, holding back a big smile. "Attention new recruits! I am Starscream for those of you that do not know. I am Megatrons second in command and these are my trine mates. Thundercracker and Skywarp. And this is Soundwave, Megatrons third in command and communications officer. You will all grab your belongings and follow us back to base where you will be briefed on what exactly it means to be apart of the Decepticon cause and what will be expected of you." Starscream introduced. The recruits nodded and began transforming.

The ground Decepticons transformed into their alt modes, following on the ground below while the others took the the skies following the commanding officers. Once back at the base Strascream handed all of the recruits keys and data pads. "The key is to unlock your new rooms. The data pad has the code for you to set up your lock system. Also on the data pad you will find a map of the base, the energon raid schedule, and a list of all the Autobots here on earth for you to keep a look out for. Meet in the recreation room in three hours for your briefing and meeting with Megatron and the other Decepticons." Starscream instructed. The recruits nodded and headed off to their rooms.

No longer than ten minutes after she entered her room there was a knock on the door. Astrolyte smiled and raced to open the door, letting in her three visitors. "Astrolyte!" Skywarp cheered as he quickly embraced the femme in a hug. She giggled and hugged the seeker back. "Skywarp! TC!" She cheered as Thundercracker joined the hug. The door clicked shut and Astrolyte leapt into Soundwaves arms. They stood there hugging each other tightly. "Statement: Soundwave missed Astrolyte deeply." Soundwave spoke as they hugged. Astrolyte giggled. "Statement: Astrolyte dislikes Soundwaves monotone voice." She mocked. Soundwave chuckled, "Sorry, it's become a habit here." He rumbled in his deep voice. She smiled and stepped back from Soundwave. "You're just as beautiful as the first time I saw you." Soundwave said as his mask and visor retracted, revealing his light blue optics and big smile. Astrolyte's faceplates heated up quickly in a blush as Soundwave took in her appearance. She hadn't changed at all. She was a small femme, barely reaching the middle of his chest. Yet she was curvy, voluptuous, and she knew exactly how to move her body to get her way. Her amor was a glowing white color. And she wore a red visor to cover her emerald green optics. She had little door wings that fluttered on her back.

She smiled back and retracted her visor and hugged him again. Soundwave leaned down as she stood on edge of her peds as they shared a slow kiss. Memories racing through their processors and love and affection racing through their sparks.

"Woohoo! Get it Soundwave!" Skywarp cheered. Thundercracker sighed and looked at his trine mate in disapproval. Astrolyte giggled and broke the kiss. "It's nice to see you guys again too, Skywarp." She giggled as she walked back over the to boxes she started opening. "Since you're here...I could use a little help unpacking?" She asked giving the three a smile and wiggling her doorwings cutely. Soundwave walked over and opened the box she had in front of her and started helping her unpack it. Skywarp and Thundercracker going to the second and third boxes.

"You grabbed all the pictures?" Soundwave asked as he smiled down at a picture frame in his hands. "Well duh. I couldn't leave them. That ones my favorite." She said glancing at the picture he held. The picture showed Astrolyte and Soundwave together laughing surrounded by Soundwaves cassetticons in their apartment on the couch. Soundwave smiled at the picture. "I haven't told them yet that you're here. They'll be thrilled." Soundwave muttered still looking at the picture. Astrolyte pulled out another picture frame and waved it in Soundwaves face. "Looky what I found...this one is probably a close second favorite.."she trailed off. It was a photo of Soundwave and Astrolyte in Crystal City on Cybertron. It was a very romantic looking picture. The two stood facing each other holding hands. Astrolyte leaning up towards Soundwave and Soundwave leaning down towards Astrolyte. Their faceplates centimeters away from them sharing a kiss as the glorious city sparkled behind them. "That was the day after we became spark mates." Soundwave smiled. Astrolyte nodded and placed the picture frame on the table next to her berth. Soundwave sighed, "I don't know if you should hang these up and have them out in here Astrolyte.."

"What? Why not?" She asked. "Because if someone were to come in here and see them, they might take it to Megatron. And I'm not sure how he'll react to us being together. He could see it as a weakness and kill us. He's ruthless Astrolyte. He doesn't show any mercy. I don't want you getting hurt." He explained. "Oh...I see.." Astrolyte said sadly as she started putting the pictures she took out back into the box. Astrolyte felt worry and protectiveness through their bond and sent back reassurance and love. "It's okay. I can always look back at them in my memories." She smiled at him. Soundwave nodded and they began unpacking the rest of her belongings.

An hour and a half later and the four were done unpacking and organizing Astrolyte's room. On the walls were pictures of Astrolyte, her carrier and her sire, a few pictures of Cybertron, a mirror, and she hung up a string of lights to brighten the room a little more. She put a lamp on her desk and laid out her art books and supplies. And had a nice organized crate for her appearance supplies, such as special paint, wax and a rag, and a special can of wax that kept her armor extra shiny and kept dirt and stains off her white armor. A femme has to look good, right?

"So? Where are the cassettes? I can't wait to see them!" Astrolyte asked Soundwave. "Yeah...where are they? Rumble and Frenzy have been quiet all day.."Skywarp trailed off. "They're probably scheming a prank to get you back." Thundercracker snorted. "They're on their way down here now." Soundwave said as he sat down on the berth next to Astrolyte, TC sitting in her desk chair and Skywarp was sprawled out on the floor.

A knock sounded on the door. "Who is it?" Astrolyte called. "It's us!" Came Rumble's voice. Astrolyte flung the door open and the cassettes poured in, engulfing Astrolyte in hugs. Soundwave shut the door back and smiled at the sight of the cassettes and his lover. "I missed you guys soooo much!" Astrolyte said as she hugged each of the cassettes. "We missed you too. We got your messages you sent us!" Frenzy said cheerfully. "Well I'm here now! And I'm glad you got my messages. You guys are doing okay? Staying out of trouble?" She asked. Rumble and Frenzy nodded. Thundercracker scoffed in the background, "staying out of trouble? Those two? The things I'd give to see that day..." He grumbled. Astrolyte giggled, "Sounds about right."

Ravage and Lazerbeak made themselves comfortable on Astrolyte's berth while Rumble and Frenzy looked through the boxes of pictures Astrolyte was going to put away.

"Well me and Skywarp are gonna head outta here. Let you guys catch up and such." Thundercracker spoke as he stood up. He gave Skywarp a kick when he tried to protest. "I mean I guess...I wanna catch up with Astrolyte too.." Skywarp grumbled as he followed TC out of the room. "Yes, but you're not her spark mate, you idiot." Thundercracker scolded him.

After she shut the door back Astrolyte wandered over to her berth and sat down next to Soundwave, interlocking their fingers. Soundwave smiled at her and was about to speak when his com link burst to life.

~• Soundwave, report to the command room. I want you to pull up the files of all the new recruits. Medical files, family files, criminal records, all of it.•~ boomed Megatrons' voice.

~• On my way, Lord Megatron.•~ Soundwave replied. He gave Astrolyte an apologetic look and stood up, kissing her on the forehelm. "I'll see you at the meeting." He said as he turned and left her room. His visor and face mask sliding back in place. Astrolyte sighed and rubbed ravage behind her ear. "we'll catch up later.." She mumbled followed by a yawn. "Maybe we'll take a nap.." She said as she laid on the berth, the cassetticons cuddling around her. She giggled a little and set her internal alarm to wake her up in time for the meeting with Megatron. She held the Cassettes close, Rumble and Frenzy in her arms, Ravage curled against her legs, and Lazerbeak was curled up against her helm. Her systems shut down as they all drifted off into recharge.

~In the Control Room~

Soundwave stepped through the doors and greeted Megatron with a slight bow. He took a seat at his desk and began digging through the Cybertron data base to find all information about the new recruits.

After pulling all the information on the Stunticons, Insecticons, Reflector and the random bots, Soundwave began carefully going through Astrolyte's files. It felt wrong digging through her personal things. He knew pretty much everything about her but still. He also had to decide what information Megatron should have his servos on...

Soundwave shifted uncomfortably in his chair when her criminal/mischief records flashed across the screen. She grew up in Kaon after all, of course she's going to have some records. Soundwave scanned through the records, most of which were fighting, and a few destruction of property. Soundwave decided nothing needed to be hidden from her criminal records and moved on to her family files. He took notice that her creators were still online. He'd only met them a few times, they were good bots. They only wanted the best for Astrolyte but they were rather poor and couldn't really afford to give her as much as they'd like. He thought for a moment and decided it might be better if Megatron was under the impression her creators were offline..

He typed in a few codes and hacked the database, changing their status to offline. He looked through her files a little more and noted that her being bonded wasn't in there. That's a good sign. Next were her medical records. And boy was her file long...

Soundwave held in a sigh, noticing Megatron was still in the room. Astrolyte was a wild femme. Always getting in some kind of trouble. But it's what makes them so perfect for each other. Opposites attract right? Not saying Soundwave is a complete stick in the mud. He enjoys having friends over, drinking some high grade, just having a good time. But he knows when it's time for the parties to end and life to begin. Astrolyte struggles with that sometimes. She's a dreamer, always thinking outside the box, crazy wild ideas. And Soundwave is the realist. She's the kite while Soundwave holds the string to bring her back down when she's too high in the clouds. Yet her dreams is what brought them together in the first place...

~Flash Back - 6 Vorns ago ( 498 years)~

Soundwave stood frustratedly bored in the Helix Garden. His creators dragged him to an opening art exhibitIt in hopes of finding an exotic art piece for a house party they were planning. An opening exhibit is an art exhibit for the poor to present their art in hopes of becoming wealthy. Most of the time they were old bots who lived in Kaon or just outside of Kaon who wanted to get out of that Pit of a place.

Soundwave had better things to do than look at art though. He'd rather be at home practicing his telekinesis or hacking some bots computer.

Walking around aimlessly Soundwave came to a painting. It was a very nice painting, almost looked like a photo. It was a painting of Crystal City. Soundwave couldn't help but stare at it in awe when he heard someone approach him from his left. He turned to see a small femme standing there. "Do you like it?" She asked. Soundwave nodded, "It's a lovely painting. Looks very realistic, like a photo. I wonder how long the artist looked at the Crystal City to paint this."

"She's never seen it actually. Well, not in person. She's only seen pictures and heard of its beauty." The femme answered. Soundwave gave her a questioning look. "You've never been to Crystal City?" He questioned. The femme shook her head, "nope. I'm waiting to go see it. I want my first time to be magical and memorable. Like, going with my spark mate on our honeymoon." Soundwave smiled at this and his spark seemed to stop for a klick. "Well you're a very talented artist. I hope your art gets chosen. My designation is Soundwave." He introduced, his hand outstretched. "Thank you, I'm glad you like it, I'm Astrolyte." The femme greeted in return, shaking his hand.

"I wanna show you something, I think you'll like it and maybe you could paint it for the next exhibit." Soundwave said gently pulling Astrolyte off into the garden. She hesitated a little but followed him none the less.

After walking through the garden a little, Soundwave led her to a cave. "Whoa there buddy. What're you doing?" Astrolyte question, pulling out of his grasp. Soundwave looked at her confused, until a light bulb seemed to go off in his processor. "Oh! No, no, it's not like that. I'm not going to hurt you or anything. I want to show you something inside the cave. I'm sorry." He apologized quickly. Astrolyte giggled and nodded in agreement, taking Soundwaves hand again they walked into the cave.

Inside thousands of multicolored crystals shimmered, illuminating the cave. Astrolyte stared in awe. "Wow...they're so beautiful." She gasped. "You're beautiful.." Soundwave trailed off. At his compliment Astrolyte's fans seemed to kick up a little bit as her armor heated. "T-thank you.." She mumbled, looking down at her peds.

"Im sorry...I know I just met you but, I-I-i feel something. And, I wanna see you again. Please." Soundwave pleaded, tilting her helm up to look her in the optics. Both of their fans kicking up to a higher setting. "O-okay. Meet me here in an orn (13 days). I'll have this painted for you.." Astrolyte blushed.

And so it began. The two began meeting every orn. And then they began meeting every couple of solar cycles. Then every solar cycle. They were quickly falling in love. At first Soundwaves creators were skeptical of him being with a femme from kaon. His carrier saying that most of the femmes there were "no good, sparked fraggers just looking for a mech with money they can hook up with. Before they dump him at the junk yard." But once they got to know Astrolyte a little more they saw she was different and accepted her.

~End Flash Back~

Soundwave stared at probably the most crucial part of Astrolyte's files. Sharing this information with Megatron could either end very well or very bad. In front of him was Astrolyte's past, her life. What she did while living in kaon.

Soundwave stiffened when he heard Megatron approaching from behind him. "Well, well, well. My audios don't deceive me. I heard some mechs in the hall speaking of their being a femme amongst the new recruits. I wasn't sure if it was true or not. She's from Kaon? And she's a..."

To be continued! :D MWUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
