Soundwave Familiar

Chapter 1: The escape

Dark and quiet. That's what it felt like for Soundwave as he wondered aimlessly through the Shadowzone.

Ever since the Autobots and their human allies tricked him in to this dimension during their assault on the Nemesis, the Decepticon communications officer had been trying very hard to find a way out, with no success.

Even though he had no face and rarely spoke, Soundwave felt a lot of anger swell up inside of him, but that was soon replaced by sadness and frustration towards himself.

How could he allow himself to fall for such a devious trick, especially one that he pulled on Arachnid during the Terracon incident that Starscream and Knockout caused, resulting in her escape and taking back control of the Insecticons.

What's even worse was that he was unable to save Megatron from being impaled with the Star Saber by the Autobot scout, Bumblebee. So here he was trapped in a dimension where everything was just a shadow of the outside world. In his mind he thought if there was any chance of getting out of here, even if it was an illogical way, he would gladly take it.

"My servant that exists somewhere in this vast universe," came a voice that got Soundwave's attention. He looked around trying to find the speaker, but found no one. He assumed his audio receptors were playing tricks on him.

"My divine, beautiful, wise, powerful servant, heed my call." There it was again, he wasn't sure where it was coming from, but knew that the voice was a young and feminine. He was a bit confused what the voice was talking about. Divine and beautiful, he didn't understand those parts, while the wise and powerful parts he seemed to find them as compliments!, after all, he is a very intelligent Decepticon, and also a capable fighter. But the last part, "servant" had him stumped. While he listened to the voice, he made sure to record it, just in case he needed it for later use.

"I wish from the bottom of my heart and add to my guidance and appear!" After the voice finished that last sentence, a bright light appeared behind Soundwave. He turn around and saw in front of him a green oval-shaped portal.

Analyzing the portal, he deduced that it was neither a ground bridge or a space bridge. He felt unsure about going through this portal, not knowing where it would take him to, but he did not want to spend another minute in the Shadowzone, so he took a deep breath( don't ask me how he can do that) and reached out with his right arm for the portal.

Just as his finger touched it, he was suddenly pulled in to portal after which it completely closed, leaving the Shadowzone once again quiet, dark, and now empty.
