Where is Your Face?
Copyright-Prime: Oh, yes. Years between updates would be torture for a reader. Quite honestly I was putting Maelstrom in to just be a background character but I guess he screamed give me a bio. xD I don't know, he's pretty chill. Drawing transformers is like edfclkhqeoqcuhb! Sooooo hard. I am practicing as well though so maybe I can draw my twin and me eventually! New Chapter contains more substance so it's actually longer. Hope you enjoy!
Gizzy2JJ: Writing the daredevil stunts was fun. You will get to see Whisper's unique version of that flying style later in the story. Soundwave is amazing. Enough said. Lol And really, Shockwave? Maybe, I mean people said Ironhide was appearing too but he's still absent. Shockwave is awesome though so he would be cool in TFP. Enjoy the new Chapter!
Here are the different types of speaking that I will be using:
Normal talking…
(Comm Links)…
"Internal Thoughts…"
::Twin's Talking::… (The sister's communicate through wings signals as well.)
"Soundwave's…Mask?"
Author's Note: After much thinking I've decided that as soon as I finish a chapter I will post it. (Even if it's daily or every other day) Mainly because I know that I personally get bored of a story when it takes people forever to update. Hopefully varying speeds of updates don't bother people. I'm a busy person.
Ugh, so I finally watched the one TFP episode I was never able to watch. Season 1 episode 12 Predatory. Airachnid is, for the lack of a better word to make my point, she is fucking creepy. If Hasbro wasn't child friendly, I am pretty sure HALF of the Autobots and Decepticons would have been raped or tortured by her at this point. She gets all up in their face and is like 'hey look at me I'm a freak. But not the good kind of freak!' In all aspects I absolutely despise the spider. I even hated her in Transformers Animated. As a spoiler: Airachnid better rot in stasis…like forever.
OCs in this story are Maelstrom and the twins Silhouette and Whisper. Feel free to draw them if you like, in fact it would be pretty cool if someone drew them. If anyone knows a person that would be willing to draw them please…do share ^.^ The sadist side of the twins is NOT part of my sister's personality or mine. It is there to create a more interesting story besides our Ocs ARE Decepticons. The ocs require a certain mean side. Neither of us are mean in real life unless we are attacked first!
ALSO! For the events of the latest episode Armada with Airachnid and the Insecticons, Starscream and his clowns -cough- clones and Bulkhead blowing up the Nemesis's power core. Airachnid has not yet attacked and right now the status of the Insecticons is a mystery, Starscream is still on the 'Cons side so no clones at all and Bulkhead did destroy the power core. Which in my story ended up leading to the destruction of multiple rooms including the twin's room. They are now sharing a room with Maelstrom until further notice.
AND OH, YUSH! Soundwave has a point of view…finally! Mainly him watching the twins and wondering why they treat him like a disease. I think he comes off as quite the hilarious, sweet yet strong character but covers it all with a mask of silence because it all could be used as an advantage over him. You will see why exactly that is, later. He's really just, in his own way, a force of nature. Anything said from now on by his mask will be in italics and underlined…like this.
Warnings: This chapter is full of carefree, funness! (That's not a word...oh well) and Soundwave loses his cool. Could be seen as out of character but really who knows the exact personality of him. He's had probably 25 or 35 minutes of actual screen time for the whole show so far. Which kind of annoys me. Oh, and this chapter refers to interface arrays for a second, has women stereotypes from like back in the day and possesses nasty language. Anyways WOO! Enjoy.
Disclaimer: Song lyrics belong to Beyonce and whoever wrote them. I don't own the Transformers or TFP they belong to HASBRO©. I do however own all rights to the story itself and the Ocs within. Do not steal…I'll staple you to a wall and proceed to tickle you into tears. :3
Where is Your Face?
Chapter 4: Turn It!
::This is awkward…::
::No Slagging way! I couldn't figure that out myself?::
::Very Awkward…::
::Ugh, is he looking at us or not? I can't tell.::
::Beats me. Under that stupid mask of his? You really couldn't tell unless you asked him. BUT the fragger doesn't talk so no…who slagging knows what the afthead is looking at…::
::Yeah, I get ya there…I'm still royally ticked with him too.::
::Just ticked? I want to tear his mask off. Crack it over his head then shove it up his valve. Tear off his legs and beat him into stasis with them. THEN I want to roll him into a ball and kick him into the Earth's sun…I'll laugh as he burns. Hopefully he will scream.::
::Oooo…someone's in a bad mood?::
"A BAD MOOD! SISSY…I HAVE TREE BRANCHES STUCK IN MY AFT JOINTS AND DIRT IN MY CHEST PLATES!"
Whisper, who was previously sitting on a berth in the med bay with Knockout welding her cut together, aft scooted away from sister with a startled look. Knockout was most likely somewhere on the med bays ceiling because he was clearly no longer anywhere…on the ground. Soundwave actually had a reaction for once. One would have had to be staring to pick up the slightest body flinch he made.
After a moment of silence the twins burst into hysterical laughter. Whisper laid back on the medical berth with her servos wrapped around her newly welded sides. Her dirty twin slide down a wall and put her helm between her knees, her optics tearing up from laughing so hard.
Soundwave stepped backwards just as Knockout came crashing down in front of him. The red mech laid sprawled out on the floor with a dazed look in his maroon optics. Soundwave tilted his helm questioningly at medic.
"Knockout…do you need help?" Silhouette chocked out between giggles. "Sorry, I forgot you couldn't hear us talking through our…twin…bond…is he dead?"
Whisper leaned over the berth and set her gaze on the mech lying on his back in front of the quiet mech. Soundwave waited a few seconds then deployed one of his tentacles and shocked the downed medic. The red mech jerked then launched himself up off the floor so quickly that Soundwave was forced to jump backwards into the metal wall, his tentacle curling back into him instinctively. Knockout didn't spare the silent mech even a nanosecond of a glance as he turned on the dirty femme, "WHAT THE FRAG! YOU SCARED ME! LOUD ASS FEMMES!"
They heard heavy pedefalls running from a back room. Breakdown barreled in all his battle glory. His huge hammer out with him in a ready-for-a-fight squat. "WHAT'S WRONG! WHERE ARE THE AUTOBOTS?" He had a goofy concentrated look on his face which caused the twins to roll around laughing.
Knockout stared at them then snorted loudly, looking down at his fingers like a female human would after getting a manicure. "No Autobots. Just pit spawned seeker twins." He looked up from his servo, only to see a diagnostics data pad thrown at his face by Whisper. It hit him square in the face with a resounding clank. Breakdown swallowed a laugh as changed his hammer back into his servo. Soundwave remained silent but was firmly wedged between Knockout and the wall.
"Shut up Knockout! At least the rest of us didn't pretend to be flyers." Whisper made a show of fluttering her wings. She began giggling while playing and then replaying the image of him falling on his back between the twin bond. The green femme successfully put Silhouette back into another fit of giggles.
Knockout looked positively horrified. He accusingly pointed a finger at Whisper, opening and closing his mouth thinking of a comeback. He had stepped forward just enough so Soundwave could move away from the wall. Breakdown's face split into a wide grin. "Oh Primus, tell me she's kidding KO…"
With a disgruntled huff Knockout stormed out of the room pushing past Soundwave. The dark mech whom had just peeled himself off the wall, leaned back into it so Knockout wouldn't ram into him. They all heard him kick a chair and a door locking.
They all sat in silence. Exchanging looks of hilarity and amusement. Breakdown and the femmes glanced at Soundwave who seemed to be back in 'Soundwave Land' once again. The silent mech was creating a sink hole in the ground with his stare or at least he appeared to be staring. Everyone rolled their optics and then turned to one another. Breakdown vented heavily in a sigh, "So, uh…what happened to you Silhouette?" Whisper snickered as Silhouette groaned.
"Hit a tree…" Silhouette shrugged. Soundwave actually appeared to be 'looking' at her through his mask when she said this. She graced him with a generous sneer.
Breakdown frowned. "Um, there are no trees in the desert just cacti."
"WELL. There was…but definitely none now." Whisper dodged the rainfall of data pads thrown by her sister as she laughed, flapping her wings in amusement.
They all heard Knockout slam something into a wall and a few curses. The twin's optics widened in question. "I should probably go calm him down before he dismantles all the drills and saws again…" Breakdown turned on his heel and left the room. Silence and startled looks were left in his wake.
::Soundwave is still 'staring'. At least, I think he is. Whispy, can I throw him through the wall?:: Silhouette wings stiffened as she glared daggers through Soundwave's mask. The mech made no movement under her stare.
Whisper looked the mech up and down slowly. ::Ugh, why are the pretty ones either total aft heads or creepy! He's even got tentacles…ick. Megatron sure knows how to pick the weirdos. Yeah, throw him through the wall just let me scrap him after your done with him.::
Soundwave inwardly flinched at their musings of actually tearing him apart. He involuntarily skimmed their vivid imaginations run through plans of beating him into stasis or dismantling him while he was online, among multitudes of other things. He resisted the urge to step back from their judging optics. "What the frag did I do to deserve those thoughts…oh yeah. Never mind, I insulted them." He frowned behind his mask when Silhouette stepped closer to him.
"What the frag do you want! Stop staring at us, it's slagging creepy." The twin stopped just in front of him by five or six feet.
"At least she isn't like Airachnid. Needing to be right in your faceplate to make a point." Soundwave began to worry slightly. "Don't attack me right now, that spider freak is a breeze to beat into submission but these two…not sure I could take them."
The soft kiwi green femme finally spoke up, "Talk Damnit! Or at least wave your servos around so we know what you're trying to say. Sissy, forget him. Let's go find a wash room." She began nudging her white-ish other half out of the room.
Soundwave quickly lit up his mask as the femmes started to turn from him. The video feed of Megatron's face had them pausing and shooting angry looks at each other.
"Soundwave! As you know several of the officer's quarters were destroyed when that blasted Autobot blew up the ship's power core." Megatron looked thoughtful, "Soundwave! Take the femmes down to the drone's wash area and stand guard. Don't let the drones harass the seekers. I need the twins ready for an upcoming mission." Soundwave must have nodded because the image of Megatron shifted vertically up and down. The warlord gave Soundwave a wave of the hand dismissing him.
:: WHAT!:: This identical message collided in a flurry of anger, annoyance and shock between the twins and ricocheted back to them making them resort to wing communication. Flickering their wings in various ways, showing their complete disapproval.
Silhouette shot a look of sheer rage up at the dark mech, her wings hiked up high emphasizing her feelings for his message. "Uhh, no!" Whisper snarled at him, her wings vibrating with the shared rage.
"Why are femmes so difficult?" Soundwave mentally groaned as he lit up his mask with the Cybertronian glyph for 'orders'. Both of the seekers deflated and huffed in annoyance.
"Fine."
…
Arcee woke up with a processor ache. Her helm was swimming causing her to feel incredibly dizzy. "What happened?..." She murmured as she began to slowly sit up.
"Careful. That Decepticon's speed alone loosened a few of your body's bolts but when she slammed into you, your spinal struts cracked. I had to replace them completely." Ratchet was looking at the medical monitor's readings.
"Scrap, so that really happened?" The motorcycle growled as the memories of spinning through the air while clinging to Silhouette's white body flooded her mind. "Why are those three on the Earth!"
Optimus walked in to the main room with all his Prime grandeur, "They arrived on Earth a few days ago it would seem. Along with Ramjet, Thundercracker, Dirge, Skywarp and Thrust."
"Prime! So, you mean to tell me that there are now more Decepticons lurking in the sky!" Agent Fowler shouted. "And not just those three but also five others!" The man was having a raging fit while stomping up the metal stairs.
Raf, Jack and Miko all looked up from their games and homework. Jack walked over to the railing, picking a spot near Fowler and leaning on the railing with his elbows. June walked up the stairs and sat on the grey couch, stressed from the day's work and now all of this. Waving her hand to get the Bots attention, "What can we expect from them?" She asked quietly.
Miko had run down the stairs and knocked on Bulkheads pede requesting a pick up. "Are they like totally dangerous! I mean they seriously messed up Arcee and that was just one of them!" Bulkhead picked her up and placed her on his shoulder. Raf concentrated on his long division homework but kept his ears open to the conversation. Bumblebee let out a string of beeps and trills that caused Raf to frown deeply into his notebook.
Arcee timidly started to shift her legs off of the medical berth and rolled her optics at the young female human. "Thundercracker and Skywarp are partners with Starscream. Skywarp is crazy most likely mentally unstable from being shot through the head early in the war. He does have the ability to warp anywhere at any time. Thundercracker on the other servo, won't attack unless provoked or ordered too but his sonic booms alone can throw half the Autobot army onto their afts in one blast. They should be feared but I don't think either will go human hunting like Airachnid did though." She said this while looking at her teammates as if clarifying her knowledge.
Bulkhead nodded, "The idiot Coneheads are Thrust, Dirge and Ramjet. Dirge dies…a lot. Ramjet smashes his helm into his enemies and Thrust is just plain annoying. They are all so uncoordinated I doubt they will be any real threat. For us but humans need to evade them at all costs, they most likely won't watch where they step." He side glanced at Miko and she gave him a sheepish grin and a wink.
Optimus stepped in with his final word. "And Maelstrom's team is highly specialized in kamikaze tactics. The femme twins, Whisper and Silhouette, possess biological reflective plating that will turn them invisible to the eye when hit with light at a certain angle. Maelstrom has one of the highest instant kill ratings in the seeker ranks. For a seeker he and Whisper are well played on the ground, while Silhouette does most of their aerial fighting." He almost looked worried. "No. This is most definitely not good."
Arcee looked at Jack with a look of concern. "The femmes are not only twins but they are Spark-Split twins. Making them extra dangerous if not approached correctly."
Jack watched his guardian's faceplates morph into sadness. "What are Spark-Split twins?"
June sat up from her place on the dusty couch when something began sounding medical and waited patiently. Ratchet went into medic mode, "Split-Spark twins. Technically one mech or femme in two bodies, but each possesses completely different personalities, dreams, goals, etc."
"So, like identical twins?" Raf piped as he looked up from his math homework.
"Essentially, yes. They are the rarest type of Cybertronian brought online. The only other twins I've been lucky enough to meet were Sunstreaker and Sideswipe. But Cybertronians bond in a more…permanent way. Spark-Split twins are born bonded. One cannot live without the other and one feels the other's happiness or pain. They have a special connection mentally like a sparkmate only more complex. They are incredibly dangerous when threatened." Ratchet explained. The humans all looked interested with this new information.
Special Agent Fowler made a growling noise in the back of his throat, "How much more dangerous?" He shifted nervously.
"When one twin is in a berserker mind set, they will take on anyone. They are not afraid of dying and will attack family members even. They can be incredibly dangerous depending on their age and life experiences. These femmes are young but have showed that they are incredibly defensive of each. We must approach them hesitantly…" Optimus had a thoughtful look on his face.
Miko for once was quiet then spoke in a whisper, "So…this is like…really bad?"
"Pft, that's an understatement. This is beyond horrible." Ratchet was aggressively logging the new seekers into their database. Furiously finger punching the virtual keyboard with two fingers.
Optimus stood up tall, "Although, more 'Cons have joined Megatron's army on Earth, we still cannot endanger the humans." He nodded to Fowler and June. "We will do our best to keep the humans out of our war. It would not be fair to bring this young species into it."Everyone sighed and nodded in agreement.
"Bumblebee. Bulkhead. Please take Ms Darby and the children home. Fowler have a good night. Arcee get some recharge."
…
Whisper was attempting to blast a gaping hole through Soundwave's head with her piercing glare of doom. Silhouette sulked beside her sister, muttering about the planet's choice of foliage as she picked roots out of her servo. They had begrudgingly followed the Communications Officer to the lower floors and were now standing outside the drones washing racks.
Soundwave overrode the doors and walked in. Vehicon's stared at him then zipped out in less than a second. He sighed mentally at the drones fear and turned to the femmes. He then gestured to the wall where there were knobs to turn the water on and another wall of cabinets holding towels and solvents. They stared at him with a look of pure…something, he couldn't tell. He was too busy staring at their wings fluttering about.
:: Shower time!:: Silhouette flounced over to the shower side of room almost running Soundwave over. She yanked on the knob but ended up slipping and landing on her aft in a flurry of flailing arms and legs. She squeaked loudly when she hit the ground. Whisper rushed over from her place at the other side of the room near the supplies cabinets, to help her twin up.
Soundwave optics widened behind his mask at the femme's excitement for a simply shower. At this point if one looked hard enough in his mask they could see his optic lights. "…wow…" He listened as the two femmes internally argued over how to turn the water on. Rolling his optics slightly he accessed Television radio waves looking for a video.
Whisper froze when she noticed Soundwave had moved closer. She flicked her green wings irritably before turning around and sending the mech a warning glare. Whisper began positioning herself in a semi-crouch stance when he advanced too far into her comfort zone. She stopped when she saw his mask light up.
"New Deluxe Shower Knob! Just turn the knob and water comes out. That's right just turn the knob. It's that easy! You can do it slow! You can do it fast! Watch as Steve here easily turns the knob." The man designated Steve turned the knob with one of those hokey enthusiastic smiles people make on television that normal people roll their eyes at. An image of an old woman showed up after Steve. "See even Grandma can do it! Good Job Grandma! Easy New Deluxe Shower Knob! It comes it all different colors! Red knobs, Blue knobs, Green knobs. Even Tie-dye knobs. You name the color! We got it! Remember just how simple it was? Steve! Show them aga-"
Soundwave cut off the commercial and gazed into the slightly disgusted ruby optics of the twins from behind his mask. He couldn't tell who the disgust was directed at. The humans, the commercial itself or himself which caused him to frown behind his mask.
Silhouette glared at the offending knob on the wall darkly. She grabbed it and twisted her servo to the right. Frowning when it didn't even budge. She then grabbed the clear knob and put all her weight into turning it to the right, only to hear a loud 'snap' and crashed to the floor. She face planted with a loud metallic bang.
Whisper's mouth was a gape, "Oh my Primus! Sissy you BROKE it!" Face palming hard. Whisper crawled on the flooring attempting to retrieve the now rolling away knob. Every time it was just in arms reach she would slip push it further away.
Soundwave had to clench his denta to keep from laughing. "Pft...Femmes. Heh heh. Ugh. Their making it hard to remain quiet." He struggled to silently watch the femme twins frantically try to push the clear knob back into its place. They looked at each other with panicked expressions when it fell and began rolling away again. Deciding to stop them from actually doing something funny enough to make him drop his silent act Soundwave placed himself between the femmes and rolling knob.
Silhouette growled at Soundwave menacingly but it turned into a less menacing but still aggressive purr when he pointed to another shower knob. ::Whispy, WHY does he keep trying to interact with us!::
Whisper groaned through the twin bond. ::I don't know but it's getting annoying. I want to tell him to frag off but he won't even if we ask nicely. He is here under Megatron's orders…such a fragging pet.:: She turned to a new shower knob and stared at it, willing the demon creation to turn on.
"To the left. To the left. Everything you own in a box to the left."
They gave Soundwave's mask a blank look not understanding why he was singing Earth music. The mech quickly switched the music video into a blank screen with a line.
"Righty tighty, Lefty loosey." Said a young woman's voice. The straight line hadbounced up and down along with the recording.
The seekers still stared at him with an extremely blank look. Soundwave began to have a small mental breakdown in which he cursed the differences in Cybertronian and Earth customs. "What in the Pit! Slag Earth and Cybertron's differences in terminology. Slag Earth's lack of recordings and videos demonstrating what I'm trying to say! Slag Cybertron for having so many damn glyphs! I refuse to talk!" He was shifting uncomfortably as the femmes gazed at him in confusion.
Whisper's brows rose in amusement. ::Ettie, I think the loser is actually…panicking…but unsurprisingly I don't feel bad at all.:: She sent this to her sister with an air of smugness. Green wings relaxing in her happiness.
::Good Sis because I…what's the human word? Oh…I fucking hate him. The freak should panic.:: Silhouette glanced at the mech with all too knowing smirk.
The green femme leaned back making optic contact with her twin. ::Besides he does deserve it after the rudeness he showed us earlier. He's quiet and a pet. Oh mech! It's like the human saying, "Meant to be seen, not heard."::
::Go make me a sandwich Soundwave!:: Silhouette and Whisper burst out laughing within the bond.
Red optics bright with humor Whisper fluttered her wings in joy at being able to laugh with her sister like they did as sparklings. ::Primus, I love us sissy. Your everything to me.::
::Love you too my twinny sissy. Love you so much.:: Silhouette smiled at her sister, winking like the total flirt she was.
Soundwave finally snapped after hearing their new thoughts of hate and stalked towards them with a purpose. He ignored their hisses of warning and dismissed their flexed battle-ready claws. Grabbing the knob he twisted it to the left.
…Nothing happened…
For about five minutes they all stood there completely silent staring a hole through the wall. The twins on either side of the mech. They were only a few inches shorter than him. In fact if they stood on their pede tips they would be exactly optic to optic with him.
Inwardly moaning with sheer annoyance, Soundwave began twisting the knob in a desperate attempt to get the stupid thing to do something. "TURN! ON! DAMN! IT!"
Silhouette and Whisper watched him spin the nozzle with a vigor they thought they'd never see the mech express. ::So…he's definitely not a drone. He's just fucking weird…:: Whisper gave the sleek, shiny side of his arm a rude smile, not even bothering to conceal it.
Silhouette nodded sharply. ::Definitely NOT a drone.:: She snickered nastily through the bond as she stared at the mechs waist, causing her sister to laugh.
Soundwave growled internally and gave a particularly hard twist to the knob.
…Click…
All three of them were thoroughly drenched in a matter of three seconds. Soundwave threw his arms up and stormed off towards the towel cabinet. The twins exchanged looks and burst out laughing. "KARMAS A BITCH!" Whisper and Silhouette screamed after him bouncing up and down in the spray of the water. Whisper then proceeded to turn to her sister and carefully scrubbed the dirt off of the pearly white wings. Silhouette scrubbed at her arms, occasionally picking out a pebble or leaf.
When Soundwave deemed himself far enough from them, he grabbed a towel and snapped his face mask off. Spitting out the water that had gotten into his mouth and growling softly when he heard them scream at him. He rubbed his faceplates and the inside of his mask dry, and then clicked the mask back into place. He stormed back to the femme's after he had finished drying off. "The Nemesis needs some serious maintenance work."
Chapter 4! Woo! This chapter is hilarious I laughed so hard writing it at some parts. And yes! Whisper and Silhouette are quite nasty to Soundwave in this chapter but don't worry it will change ^3^ Sissy and I can't hate on Soundwave for too much long he's just too badass and adorable. Hint hint next chapter. :P Oh dear. In all honesty this fanfic of mine seems like it's becoming a monster of a story ._. Oh yeah! Steve is in there but not it the same sense as well known by TFP fans. But the thought is still there. And to answer a pm question: the twin's optics are like Knockout's just a more bright ruby color. Maelstrom's optics are like Airachnid's optics just green in color.
Review and Reread XD
SSOOOUUUNNNNDDDWWWAAAVVVEEE!
