Ninja Soundwave
One rainy night in Iacon, Starscream and Soundwave are heading back home after seeing a movie about ninja seekers. They both were still talking about it.
"Dude, imagine being a ninja like them!" Starscream said.
"I was once!" Soundwave said.
"What, how were you a ninja?" Starscream asked.
"Well, I wasn't an official ninja, they called me that because of the way I use my tentacles and other skills. Wheeljack always said that was my nickname." Soundwave said.
"Really, got any proof?" Starscream smirked.
"Yeah, I believe this all started many years ago." Soundwave said.
Some point in the past...
It was a another rainy night in Iacon, Soundwave was walking around his neighborhood not having a care in the world. Just then, he noticed a mech swinging around his swords near his house. He seemed like some kind of ninja. Soundwave was curious and walked over. The mech's name was Wheeljack. He was so busy swinging his swords that he barely had time stop when Soundwave came up to him. One of Wheeljack's swords nearly bashed Soundwave's face-plate, but instead the end of the sword slightly traced a line across the face-plate but Soundwave wasn't hurt.
"Whoa kid watch out!" Wheeljack said moving the sword away.
"Sorry, I was curious to what you were doing!" Soundwave said.
"Oh, I'm just testing out these new swords I got, me and my gang always wanted be ninja's!" Wheeljack said.
"Wow, I once wanted to be a ninja, but I don't think I would be a great one!" Soundwave said.
"Really? Then you should meet my gang!" Wheeljack said.
"Gang?" Soundwave tilted his head confused.
Just then 4 eradicons appeared from the sky landing in front of Soundwave in a defensive position. Soundwave nearly jumped out of his armor.
"This, is my gang!" Wheeljack said.
"Is he bothering you Wheeljack?" One of them asked.
"No, he was just curious to what we were doing!" Wheeljack said as the eradicon ninja's gave Soundwave an angry glare.
"I'm sorry if I was disturbing you guys! I'll just leave!" Soundwave said proceeding to do so!
"Hey kid you don't have to leave, I could show you how to use the swords if you are interested." Wheeljack offered.
"Really you would? Wow, thanks!" Soundwave said.
While Wheeljack was showing off his swords, the eradicons stood around glaring at Soundwave.
"I don't trust that guy knowing about our skills!" One of them said.
"Yeah, I don't like him!" Another said.
"He looks nothing like a ninja, he couldn't even defeat us if he tried!" The third one said.
"I agree, better yet, I say lets show him what a ninja can really do whenever we get a chance!" The last one said.
Meanwhile, Wheeljack was offering Soundwave some ninja moves.
"Wow, I'd love to know! I'm just worried what your friends think!" Soundwave said.
"Don't worry about them, they just don't like new people being interested in what we do!" Wheeljack whispered.
Soundwave looked at the eradicons who looked at him back. Wheeljack led him into his basement where he turned right to Soundwave with a fist. Soundwave's tentacles blocked the blow quickly.
"What was that for?" Soundwave asked feeling hurt.
"Just seeing how your reaction time was!" Wheeljack said. "That was very impressive. How good are with your tentacles?"
"Pretty good I guess, but I don't use them for fighting, just for when I have several things to do at the same time." Soundwave explained.
"Oh really, well try to grab me and drop with your tentacles!" Wheeljack challenged and latched on his battle mask.
Soundwave tentacles lashed out at Wheeljack who took out his swords and tried to swipe them away. But the tentacles were to fast and soon Wheeljack found himself being lifted into the air and body-slammed to the ground. Wheeljack, without a word, got up and tried to punch Soundwave but his blows were blocked by Soundwave's armor on his arms. Soundwave then used one tentacle to grab Wheeljack's head and toss him into a wall.
"Ow, okay that's enough!" Wheeljack said waving his arms. "Man, that was great!"
"Thanks, it's just instinct." Soundwave said.
"You don't punch a lot do you?" Wheeljack asked getting up.
"Nah, my tentacles are good enough. Of course I could have easily taken you down with Lazerbeak here!" Soundwave said pointing to Lazerbeak.
"Ah, you have a deployer! Nice!" Wheeljack said.
The eradicons had seen the whole thing through a window and were angry. The next day, Soundwave was telling Shockwave all about his experience last night. They weren't expecting the 4 eradicon ninja's to jump out from a hiding place and scare them!
"Well, well, well, look who still around! The new ninja himself!" One of them said.
"What? New ninja? I'm not a ninja I just wanted to see how ninjas fight that's all!" Soundwave said.
"Don't lie, we know you're trying to prove you're better than us!" Another one said.
"What?" Soundwave said confused.
"Hey guys let's get his brother!" Another one said.
"What me? What did I do?" Shockwave asked.
"You leave my brother alone!" Soundwave snarled.
"Or what?" The last one said advancing towards them.
Soundwave knew he couldn't beat them all since he only had two tentacles. But he tried anyway. He grabbed one and threw him at the others giving the brothers a chance to run. The eradicons chased after them in flight mode. Shockwave and Soundwave were not as fast as the others as they caught up.
Cuts to present...
"Whoa hold on! They chased you guys?" Starscream asked.
"Yeah, they were just jealous that I would have made a better ninja than they would!" Soundwave said.
"Well apparently I wasn't involved with this!" Starscream smirked.
"Oh yeah you were!" Soundwave said.
Back to past...
One eradicon clipped Shockwave's wing making him crash into Soundwave knocking them onto a rooftop of a building. Once they recovered they transformed only to find themselves surrounded by the eradicons. Just then, a lightning flash blasted the space between the brothers revealing "DRAGON CLAW STARSCREAM". The seeker was painted red with flames on his wings and a dragon painted across his chest. The eradicons gasp.
"I'll take care of this...DRAGON STYLE!" Starscream yelled in a tough voice and he jumped in front of the brothers and showed his claws in a threatening pose.
Starscream, in a very fast pace, knocked out the first eradicon with one punch and kicked the second one in the head. The third eradicon lunged at him but Starscream jumped up and slashed the ninja's chest with his claws and the fourth ninja was blasted away by one of Starscream's rockets. Soundwave and Shockwave were amazed.
"Yeah!" Starscream said.
"That was awesome!" Soundwave said. "Who are you?"
"I'm called Dragon Claw Starscream!" Starscream smirked. "Well it looks like my work here is done for now!"
But just then, the clawed-chest eradicon shoved Shockwave off the building.
"OH NO! SHOCKWAVE!" Soundwave yelled.
"Quickly follow me!" Starscream said jumping off the building.
"Right behind ya!" Soundwave said as he jumped off too.
At the bottom of the building was a large construction site where a few workers were at work. Shockwave was too scared to transform and during his fall he bashed over some oil barrels that spilled all over the building site. He ended up sliding on his chest as he would slide left and right on the slippery ground. Starscream and Soundwave landed on the oily ground and slid around too. Soundwave took a moment to try and gain his grip by unleashing his tentacles and letting them grip the ground. Starscream's heels made it easy for him to slide around without tripping. Just then some wreckers accidently released some huge pipes that they had to dodge. At one point they ended up inside one but got out fine. Shockwave was heading towards a dead end and below it were a ton of pipes that could impale you on impact.
"NO SHOCKWAVE, I GOT TO SAVE HIM!" Soundwave yelled.
"THEN GO!" Starscream said transforming and activating his turbo boosters causing him to shoot Soundwave farther towards Shockwave and grab him and accidently get launched into a pipe that was lifted upwards.
"CANNONBALL!" Soundwave yelled as they landed on the other side on the construction site. As Shockwave recovered from shock, Soundwave hugged him.
"You okay?" Soundwave asked.
"Yeah, thank you!" Shockwave said.
"Congrats on your catch!" Starscream said wakling up to them.
"Thanks...so...will you be around?" Soundwave asked.
"Trust me, I will, when I'm needed of course!" Starscream said then flashed away in a bolt of lightning.
"What should you tell Wheeljack?" Shockwave asked.
"Don't worry I saw the whole thing!" Wheeljack said as he had the four beaten eradicons in tow. "They will be punished for their actions!"
The eradicons said nothing as they were too embarrased. Shockwave and Soundwave nodded as they decided to go home.
"Oh...and I'll see you around Ninja Soundwave!" Wheeljack said.
Soundwave turned around and nodded.
Back to present...
At this point they were standing in front of Starscream's house.
"Soundwave! That totally did not happen." Starscream said.
"It did dude, trust me!" Soundwave said.
"None of that is proof Soundwave!" Starscream said laughing.
"Alright fine, don't believe me Dragon Claw Starscream!" Soundwave shrugged.
"I won't! You can count on it!" Starscream grinned.
"Well, goodnight screamer!" Soundwave said walking away!
"Good night, non-ninja Soundwave!" Starscream said.
But as he got ready to open his door, he could have sworn he felt someone watching him. He looked around a little scared. He looked back to his door, then behind him, he thought he saw what looked like Wheeljack practicing his ninja sword skills across the street and muttering something about Dragon Claw Starscream. Starscream froze.
"Note to self...never watch ninja movies again!"
