This is my first ever Fanfiction so it may not be very good... Please give constructive criticsm. This is mostly fluff and angst. This is from Rumbles POV so enjoy ^_^
The price of failure.
Rumble had failed. And he knew it. He had been hiding within Soundwave for a while now, he had to come out and face it sometime. Hiding wasn't an option, nor was running… As this particular train of thought began to become more and more realistic for the doomed cassette-bot he was ejected forcefully from the safe haven of Soundwave's chest. He cowered. Just like a slagging Autobot, Soundwave looked down on him coldly as the other cassettes looked on in silence. A silence that was soon broken by Soundwave's monotone voice addressing the now trembling Rumble.
"You have failed."
"No soundwave, I-I was just trying to- to….. Soundwave! P-please! Don't do it!"
"You are a disgrace."
"No…NO!"
"You are not worthy of being a Decepticon."
"Please….please Soundwave….."
"You are now…"
"N-no! Please! Don't say it! NO! I AM still-"
"You are a traitor. You are no longer of use to me. You are a failure. And the price of failure is termination."
"S-soundwave… please…"
Soundwave didn't wait for the cassette to finish his plea, he shot Rumble straight through his side. Severing cables and various other less vital parts, Rumble's scream could be heard from all other the Decepticon HQ as he hit the floor, grabbing at his energon leaking side. Rumble turned flickering optics to gaze up at his attacker who stared down coldly. How was he not even phased? Thought Rumble through his foggy processor. He then turned his head to glance at his brother, Frenzy who could only stand and gape as Rumble bled out onto the steel floor.
"S-sound, soundwave… Unh… don't- don't do this…"
The weakened Rumble raised his optics to stare right into his creators. Still nothing, no spark of emotion… then…
"Creator?"
Soundwave paused for what seemed like an eternity, then…
*SMASH!*
"UNH!" Rumble cried out as he was kicked across the room they were in into a nearby wall.
"Unh….w-why?…"
"Frenzy, Ravage, Laserbeak, Buzzaw. Attack."
All of the Cassettes looked up at Soundwave in horror before looking at his rifle, then into his optics. They were colder, but now they were seeping with hatred. The cassettes sauntered over to Rumble and began to kick him, hard. Rumble screamed and protested but to no avail, in the end he fell into stasis lock.
