Defiance and Discovery
StarScream, KnockOut and Proximity are standing in the bridge.
"KnockOut, do you know who the rogue mech is?"
"No clue. I've been trying to find a way to know who the rogue is."
"Where is SoundWave? He could identify the rogue."
KnockOut then brought up a security cam screen. "Uh, found him."
StarScream looks at the screen. "SoundWave's the rogue!"
"StarScream, do you think he overheard us and chose to rebel?" KnockOut asked.
"It's possible."
"Okay, what the Pit are you two talking about?" Proximity finally spoke.
KnockOut looks at StarScream. "We brought Megatron back to life." KnockOut said.
"You what? Where is he?"
"Proximity, it wasn't our idea to keep is revival a secret. It was his idea." StarScream said.
"Why?"
"So I can be leader."
"So, he gave up so you'd be in command?"
"That and he knew how peaceful the Autobots and Decepticons were together."
"Show him to me."
At StarScream's quarters, Megatron describes to Proximity about why he made it a secret.
"I have an idea." Proximity said, now understanding the situation. "Why not renew the surrender wavers with your signature."
"That could work." Megatron said.
"But how are we going to get Megatron to the Autobots? It he's seen, the war will start again." KnockOut commented.
"Then we'll disguise him." StarScream said, taking out a large black robe big enough for Megatron to wear. "Luckily, it has a hood that will hide your face, Megzy."
Megatron puts the robe on and puts the hood up over his head.
"Wow, if I didn't know it was you, I'd totally fall for it." KnockOut said.
"Then I am ready." Megatron said. "Come, StarScream. We have a job to do." Megatron walked to the cargo bay to leave.
StarScream followed.
"Wait! What about SoundWave?"
"Distract him, KnockOut. Do you whatever it takes! Just keep him busy." StarScream said.
KnockOut could only think of one way to distract SoundWave.
An hour later, SoundWave is aboard the Nemesis and running toward the control room. KnockOut had told Proximity of his plan and was now standing in the control room, waiting for SoundWave. Then the door blast open and SoundWave stormed toward KnockOut. SoundWave made some beeping and buzzing sounds.
"They're not here, SoundWave. Megatron left with StarScream to re-sign the surrender wavers." KnockOut said.
SoundWave's posture slumped low
"Let's forget them for awhile." KnockOut said voice slow and seductive.
SoundWave tilted his head slightly at KnockOut. KnockOut pulls SoundWave close.
"I know that screen is a mask, SoundWave. Please let me see your face." KnockOut said, gently gripping the frame of the glass screen on SoundWave's face.
SoundWave flinched. Then, a subtle click sound chimed and the screen over SoundWave's face came loose. KnockOut slowly took the mask off of SoundWave's face. KnockOut was surprised to see a rather handsome mach's face gazing at him. KnockOut placed his delicate, needle-point digits on SoundWave's face softly.
"I never would have guessed that you would have… such a beautiful face." KnockOut said.
SoundWave looked at the floor. KnockOut nears his face plate to SoundWave's and looks him in the optics.
"Don't be shy."
At the Autobot main command centre, StarScream and Megatron were headed toward Altra Magnus's control room.
"Are we even going the right way?" Megatron asked.
"Yes, we are." StarScream assured without hesitation. "It was part of the deal that the Autobots learned the layout of the Decepticon base and vice versa."
"Oh, then I need a tour sometime." Megatron said, looking around.
"I will do so after, Megzy."
"I love it when you call me that, Screamer." Megatron said, caressing StarScream's hips with his large servos.
"Megzy, not now. We have a job to do." StarScream said softly.
"But, Screamer, your aft is tempting me." Megatron said, kissing StarScream's sensitive wings.
StarScream let out a soft moan.
Megatron smirks. "I see your wings are still as sensitive as they were in the past." Megatron purred, placing a servo on StarScream's chest.
"Please, Megzy. Please stop." StarScream pleaded.
Meanwhile, just around the corner from StarScream and Megatron, Prowl stood in shock.
'Megatron is alive.' Prowl thought to himself.
Prowl walks around the corner. "StarScream?"
"Guh! P-Prowl! How long have you been standing there and what have you heard?" StarScream stammered.
"I've been here the whole time. You brought Megatron back. Why?"
"I was lonely. I needed my Bond mate back." StarScream admitted.
Prowl looked around. "I have a short cut to the command office."
"Huh?" Megatron tilted his helm slightly.
"I know why you came. You're going to renew the surrender wavers with your signature."
"You're smart." Megatron commented.
"I know."
Back on the Nemesis, KnockOut and SoundWave were leaning against a control panel. KnockOut, panting hard, was pinned between SoundWave and the control panel. KnockOut was and had tried not to push any buttons during their tryst of near-to-fake love. SoundWave kissed KnockOut but he didn't receive a kiss back. SoundWave looks into KnockOut's crimson optics.
"I bet you have a sensitive spark." KnockOut said.
SoundWave was confused.
"I… I'm sorry. I only did this to distract you from following StarScream and Megatron." KnockOut admitted, expecting to be harmed after.
SoundWave felt his spark shatter. SoundWave had never felt so betrayed in his life. SoundWave moved away from KnockOut and placed a servo on his chest plate over his spark chamber. KnockOut looked at the floor with shame.
"I'm so sorry, SoundWave."
SoundWave grabs his mask and places over his face. KnockOut stands.
"I'll leave. I am not in my right place right now. My place is in the med bay."
SoundWave looks a KnockOut, frowning under his mask. KnockOut passed SoundWave.
"If you wish to hit me, do so now." KnockOut said, standing in front of SoundWave.
SoundWave looks away.
"Alright." KnockOut said, leaving the control room.
