Little Lord – Chapter 2
Standing outside the Medbay with a Sparkling clung to my frame I decided to go back to the control bridge. Unlike Starscream, I have work to do, so I made my way through the corridors of the Nemesis. Luckily without any Vehicon to see me. Actually this has nothing to do with luck. I supervise the whole ship and can see were Vehicons are and were not. By the way, I do not believe in luck!
After I entered the control bridge I locked the door behind me. I do not want any other disturbance… For today I had enough! I put Lord Megatron on the ground to my feet and start typing on the control panel, just in time for Knockout and Breakdown's respond. "We have the relic! Open the ground bridge!" The ground bridge opened a few metres behind me and Knockout stepped through with Breakdown following close behind him. I slightly turned around. "We have good and bad news", Knockout started, "we found the relic", he motioned to Breakdown, who was holding a big, golden hammer "but the one I took with me, was broken…" "Before we do anything else, can I bring this hammer into the warehouse?" I nodded and turned back do the control panel to unlock the door. After they left I made sure that little Megatron was fine. He was crawling all over the place as I remembered that I knew nothing about Sparklings. The next step was clear. I would search the data banks in order to gain the needed knowledge. I plugged in my tentacles and started my research, always with one optic on the Sparkling.
Half an hour later, I was done. Surprisingly, with no more interruptions and without any disturbance from the Sparkling. After he circled the room two times he sat by my side again and laid his head against one of my legs. He almost fell asleep, but Steve, one of the higher ranked Vehicons, entered the control room. He saluted: "Sir, we have a problem with the navigation systems in the back of the ship. Would you take a look, please?" I gave a silent order to Laserbeak, who unclasped from my chest plates, revealing my frame, and flew out of the room with Steve following. Megatron, who watched this scenario with fascination, was about to follow Laserbeak as well, but I stepped in front of him and set my foot in his way. He almost looked mad at me but his expression changed very fast as he clung to my leg again and held on to it. This time he also put his little feet onto mine and was now standing on my foot. I stepped back reflexively and took the Sparkling with me, which made the Sparkling giggle. Actually, this is kind of cute. Yes, I admit it, he IS sweet. He looked up at me with pleading eyes. Does he want me to do it again? In this moment Starscream called me via commlink: "Soundwave, I require you here at the commando bridge, now! Bring Megatron with you! Starscream over and out!" Great, what does he want now?
Laserbeak appeared in the doorway and clasped to my chest again. He reported to me that the problems were fixed. At least one thing is solved, and now to Starscream. I started to walk and the Sparkling hold on even tighter to me, in order not to fall down. He also giggled with each step I took even more. It may be pretty hard to walk like that and it surely look hilarious or even awkward, but at least my arms are free. Actually, I did not care right now! Like this I made my ways through the corridors of the Nemesis.
Finally before the door to the commando bridge I opened the door and stepped inside. The room was full of Decepticons and not only Vehicons. Airachnid, the Insecticon leader and even Dreadwing were there too. Only Knockout and Shockwave were missing. Probably because they had work to do, making the cure for Lord Megatron for example.
Starscream now approached me and stopped just in front of me. "Ah, there you are. Now give me the Sparkling." He said as he bent down. Megatron clenched my leg now so tight, it almost hurts. Is he afraid of Starscream or does he simple not like him? Whatever it is, I will not hand Megatron over when he is uncomfortable with the situation! I am his caretaker after all! I stepped back, out of Starscreams reach and took the Sparkling now in my arms. "Fine, then keep him! It does not matter!" Was there hate in his voice? He stepped beside me. "Fellow Decepticons, as you can see, our mighty Lord was accidently turned into a Sparkling! You will all agree that a Sparkling cannot rule an army. This is the reason why I take the lead now!" Muttering went through the crowd, until one of the Vehicons stepped out: "Why should you lead the Decepticons? Why not Airachnid or Soundwave instead?" It seems they remember the last times Starscream tried to take Lord Megatron's rightful place as the leader! "Because I am the Second in Commend! Soundwave is just the third and Airachnid just an officer. Any other questions? No? Good! Then this meeting is finished!" he turned to me again, "and you will hand over the Sparkling, it is an order!" "I do not take orders from a coward!" The surrounding officers gasped at my statement, but I did not care. My first priority is my true master! Starscream got angrier with every passing second. "Well, and I will not tolerate disobedience! Now hand him over, or I will make sure you are punished!" "Keep calm!" Knockout interrupted, "I am sure we can solve this in another way!" I had enough! I gave Knockout the Sparkling and said: "Medbay! Now!" He ran out, followed by Breakdown and I turned than to Starscream "Bring it one!" "As you wish…", was the last thing Starscream said, before attacking me.
Hope you enjoyed this chapter.
Yay, Soundwave is developing motherly instincts.
In the next chapter will be the fight between Soundwave ans Starscream!
I guess after that one, there will be a few chapters with fluffy moments between Soundwave and (t)his little Sparkling!
Leave a comment if you liked it or if you have any ideas for later chapters (I may write some of the ideas!)!
