Chapter 10
Soundwave in a middle of nowhere lay down on the ground that is black. He then opens himself saying where he is. He called for Megatron but he did not come out. He got up and looked around the dark, black, and empty place. Soundwave questions himself about the place, saying it is a resting place or not. Soundwave walks around the place, searching for an exit or something. After a couple of minutes, he found a red circle on the ground and looked closely. Soundwave touches the center of the circle; the circle then burst light touching Soundwave, exiting the dark place of nothing.
Soundwave was pulled back from the empty planet where he escapes from. Megatron is behind Soundwave, congratulating him on escaping the dark realm.
"That was the Dark Realm before reincarnation. It takes an hour for me to get me out of the realm", Megatron said to Soundwave.
"I found that circle for couple minutes. I think it was a lucky try", said Soundwave. And so Megatron and Soundwave are looking at nothing on the dull planet after the Starscream clones fled away from. Soundwave wanted to get back to Cybertron the rest of his team. Megatron agreed, but he wanted to check out the Starship.
"We need to get on Starscream's ship for getting back our combiners and Skywarp, Blitzwing, Lockdown, and Thundercracker", Megatron said.
"We got Blitzwing back. There is a Controlled Energon inside of all the Decepticon's head and the only way to get the thing off is to take it off in their foreheads before Starscream pulls them back", Soundwave also said.
"Someday we will be alive and stop the civil war of Decepticons", Soundwave continues. Megatron and Soundwave flew away from the grey planet and head to Starscream's ship. Soundwave tried to transforms but did not work out well. Megatron told Soundwave about transforming and fighting while being a ghost doesn't work. Soundwave urges himself.
Starscream laughed and kissed his time-traveling bracelet on his wrist. Thundercracker cringes in front of Starscream. Starscream, 1, 6, 7, and 8 came back from the search and no sign of Soundwave. The door is open to let the clones enter. Starscream 1 said about the battle of the Arielbots and Protectobots versus Menasor and Bruticus when he escapes so fast, letting his brothers died from the Autobot big combiners. Starscream tells Thundercracker to follow him for cloning more of Starscream clones. The rest of the Starscream clones follow Starscream and Thundercracker. Megatron and Soundwave are spying the clones and Starscream himself. They also follow them to check the cloning station. Starscream finally went to the clone room, opens the doors, and walked to his cloning station. Starscream commands Starscream 1 to function the cloning. Starscream went to the tube and close the doors, letting himself to be cloned. Starscream 1 pushes buttons to make more of his brothers and shaking occurs, producing more than three Starscreams each. The shaking is done; Starscream opens the doors and felt a little bit dizzy. Starscream shooked his head and saw the clouds bursting on his face. All the clones and Thundercracker looked at the new clones, where they all have the same colors and personality. Starscream looked shocked, saying these clones looked familiar when he is at some place for searching energon himself.
"I felt pain when the clones get hit", said Starscream. Soundwave processed Thundercracker's body. Thundercracker shooked his body and saying something that is happening to him. Soundwave calmed Thundercracker and began firing the new Starscream clones and the cloning machine. The Starscream clones dodge the firing Thundercracker at each space of the room. Megatron stood there while a bunch of damage exploding and Starscream dodges to the left. He felt anger on Thundercracker, continuing firing at the rest of the place while Megatron is satisfied. Thundercracker ran away from the room and transforms to his jet mode, rushing to the door of the StarShip. Starscream ran and command all the combiners to stop Thundercracker. Thundercracker made a hole after he crashed the walls of the ship. Thundercracker flew to Cybertron and head to the labs. Thundercracker saw the two gravestones of Soundwave and Megatron. He saw Shockwave and Blitzwing standing. Thundercracker yells at Shockwave and Blitzwing and Megatron teleported to the cemetery, looking at his gravestone saying he will be back after what Soundwave is doing right now. Shockwave and Blitzwing prepared their guns towards Thundercracker.
"Do not shoot. I am Soundwave but a ghost I am, I am using Thundercracker as my body for now on. Shockwave, get the Controlled Energon out of Thundercracker's head and Blitzwing get my body out of the grave", Soundwave said and commands Shockwave and Blitzwing.
"I knew your gonna be here, Soundwave", said Shockwave while he has hesitated.
Shockwave and Thundercracker came to the lab and as Lugnut, Ramjet, Thrust, the minions, Astrotrain, and Reflector saw Thundercracker, they were shocked and hesitated. Lugnut called Thundercracker a betrayer.
"Don't call me that, Lugnut. It is me, Soundwave, just inside of Thundercracker for a moment", Thundercracker shouted. Soundwave gets in Thundercracker's head and takes the Controlled Energon off before Shockwave removes it. All the Decepticons of Soundwave's team were saying that Soundwave is dead.
"Fear not, Soundwave is getting back soon", Blitzwing said to everyone. Blitzwing turned to his Random personality and said he will make Soundwave tons of upgrades. "Paint job or lots of weapons. I'll say weapons!"
Blitzwing looked at Soundwave's body and check. He turned back to his Cold personality and sees lots of parts. Blitzwing thinks that Soundwave is a quadruple-changer, making him amazed himself. At the time, Shockwave removes Thundercracker's forehead and looked at the Controlled Energon that was already removed by Soundwave. Shockwave used the tweezer to get that Controlled Energon out of the forehead. Thundercracker looked down at Shockwave's feet, saying thanks to him and Soundwave.
"Your welcome", Shockwave and Soundwave said in unison to Thundercracker. The Controlled Energon was removed from Thundercracker's head. Shockwave closed the forehead and walked away. Thundercracker felt his forehead and smiled.
"Should I be a ghost and get the rest of the Decepticons?" Soundwave asked himself.
"Let me do that, Soundwave", Megatron whispered to Soundwave after he exits Thundercracker. Blitzwing brings the body of Soundwave and lays it on the ground. Soundwave came to his body and put himself in. The body shook and lights and computer functions are open and Soundwave yells. Everyone cheered and Megatron smiled. Soundwave gets up and stood up straight. He looked around to everyone, cheering and clapping. And he saw Megatron's ghost, smiling and giving a thumbs up.
At the StarShip, Starscream is angry at Thundercracker with tons of pain and Starscream 1 and 7 were holding Starscream's arms. He is saying all the chemicals of the cloning is gone. He commands all the combiners to get more energon.
"To another planet! Called Rack! GO!" Starscream yells. Skywarp walked away from Starscream's commanding. He goes to the cell of Past Rumble, spitting in front of him. Skywarp whispered at Past Rumble about setting him free. Past Rumble has a feeling Soundwave is alive after he sees him dying. Skywarp thinks of a thing that makes Soundwave stronger and better. Skywarp unlocks the cell and tells Past Rumble to follow him. Skywarp tiptoed along with past Rumble and hold Past Rumble's hand. Skywarp and Past Rumble are landed at Cybertron and Past Rumble sees more destruction than his own time. Skywarp went to his storage in his room and found a Healing Stone. He tells Past Rumble to take the Healing Stone for Soundwave to heal himself if he is damaged. Past Rumble then asked a question about taking back from the past.
"Starscream has the time-traveling bracelet, but he is wearing the bracelet. I don't have a time machine. I have no choice to get that bracelet. I see him push buttons. I memorized it!" Skywarp thought. Skywarp tells Past rumble to rumble the floor for Skywarp's commands. Past Rumble holds Skywarp's arm and Skywarp teleported back to the StarShip finding Starscream. Starscream looked at Skywarp and found out he is with Past Rumble. Starscream yelled at Skywarp, but Skywarp shouts Past Rumble to rumble the floor. The ship is shaking and Skywarp jumped at Starscream, pulling the bracelet on Starscream's wrist. Starscream pulls his arm cannon on Skywarp's head, Skywarp continues to pull the bracelet but Starscream holds his bracelet tight. Skywarp pulled harder and the bracelet lets go. He rolled down and past Rumble ran to Skywarp as he pushed the button for taking back to the time Soundwave is dying.
Skywarp and Past Rumble went in front of the dying Soundwave. Rumble hugged Frenzy and Ravage. Skywarp went to Soundwave and pulls his chest to shove the Healing Stone onto it. Soundwave must be flickering his eyes. He spoke and Skywarp puts the chest back. Then the Controlled energon is hurting Skywarp, pushing the buttons on the time-traveling bracelet. Past Rumble thanked Skywarp for saving him and Soundwave.
"Your mission, Rumble: Stop Starscream!" Skywarp screamed, sending himself teleporting back to the StarShip with the time-travel bracelet. Skywarp landed himself in front of Starscream as he screams at the top of his lungs and Skywarp got up quickly and slapped Starscream on the face. Starscream feels his face with a burn so painful. Starscream punched a hole in Skywarp's stomach. Starscream came close to Skywarp's ear, whispering he is the leader and the solider will never disrespect the leader. Skywarp's blood spills on Starscream's hand and Starscream pulls his hand so fast, he licked the blood on his hand.
"I cannot get Thundercracker back. I think he is with Soundwave!" Clones! Get Thundercracker or Blitzwing back alive! I have a couple of Controlled Energon with me", Starscream commanded.
"What about the other Decepticons from Soundwave's team?" Starscream 6 asked.
"NO! Do not get them alive?" Skywarp shouted. Starscream fired in front of Skywarp, saying not to yell or command his clones.
"My apologies", Skywarp said, looking down. The Starscream clones went to the door and the door opens as the clones flee away from the ship, getting Thundercracker or another Decepticon. Skywarp got up and walked to Lockdown, who is standing when Starscream shot him.
"I'll get you some aid. Those clones will never take care of us. Only Starscream", Lockdown whispered.
In the surgery room, Skywarp's stomach is healed, thinking he wanted to have time-traveling powers. Then he tells Lockdown about the time he saves the Past Soundwave.
"That Healing Stone I gave to Soundwave isn't the Healing Stone. It is an Immortal Cog I created that makes Soundwave strong and invincible. That is the only one I made. I should do that to Megatron".
"You did something good for Soundwave".
"Thank you, Lockdown for the aid and whatever".
Soundwave feels weird as his chest moves fast. Rumble had a feeling he saw Skywarp during the past. Thundercracker told the team they should bring their stuff to Demontron and get out of Cybertron for a while if Starscream's team is heading there. Astrotrain agreed to Thundercracker, so the team left the lab and Soundwave grabbed the rest of the tools for surgery and Thundercracker stood next to Soundwave, saying he appreciated the work for survival during the civil war.
"Thundercracker, glad your back. Now get to Demontron"
"Are you sure? I think Demontron will eat my scrap alive"
Soundwave and Thundercracker came to the doors and Demontron closed while all the Decepticons stood out of place. Soundwave taking everyone to find energon before they fight. Thundercracker smiled and looked at everyone with bravery.
When Demontron is heading the planet to find energon, Megatron came to Soundwave wanting to be alive and someday take over Cybertron.
"Sir. You will have a new body after that body of your disintegrated. I do not know that disintegration is possible', Soundwave said.
"If the body of a dead Decepticon is super strong enough, I will take it", Megatron agreed. Demontron tells soundwave he is landing himself on the planet Rack, but Starscream's army is there. Soundwave ordered to Demontron to take the team to another planet. Soundwave searches on the computer for each planet that contains energon.
"There is Heath, a planet with tons of rare elements including energon and energon that we never heard", Soundwave pointed out. Thundercracker asked Soundwave about how many planets they have energon.
"17. Like Starscream's IQ", Soundwave answered. Astrotrain saw the screen with Starscream's team holding lots of energon.
"We should split up"
"No Astrotrain. Starscream has all his combiners including the Autobot combiners? How is that possible?"
"Your right. We should be together. Looking at the rare can make our team stronger", Astrotrain finished his talk.
