Dove
The Nobody
Dove was chained to the wall with strong metal chain links, her chin hinged against her chest.
She had just escaped from the dark cell…even though she was no longer worthy of the Light…and now she had to do this.
It was almost too much to bear.
She looked up, tears in her newly black eyes. She saw Megatron and Soundwave stand before her, and she simply bowed her head once more, trembling with slight fear.
Megatron chuckled at her obvious terror. "Do your thing, Soundwave…" He started to leave the room. "Once your week long torture is over, it shall be my turn… And it will be the last session." He smirked, leaving for good.
Soundwave tilted his head, glaring to Dove. She looked up, her flesh eyes interlocking with his metal optics.
"Why are you doing this to me?" Her voice was breaking, and she felt her insides start to burn.
She felt as if she was crumbling inside.
"You know too much." Soundwave replied monotonously. "And it will most definitely hit the Autobots hard if we annihilate their pet…in a most painful fashion."
Dove trembled. 'I don't deserve this.'
She shut her eyes, trying to keep tears from falling. 'Yes, you do.' A voice within her soul hissed. 'You know you do. You have done everything wrong. You're a nobody.'
Dove laughed, bowing her head as he limbs went limp in their chains. She looked to Soundwave, with her black eyes and wicked smile.
'Do your worst, Decepticon…' She thought. 'I deserve this. I shall be numb to all of this. I am the Nobody.'
Soundwave looked to her, and his optics went dim. Dove tilted her head, and suddenly heard a faint buzzing. "Wha…"
The buzzing became louder. Then…it grew to a frightening, deafening roar within her, and she felt pain.
She thrashed, screaming in anguish and agony. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The pain within her head was like fire…. It was hot as Hell, and it was just…searing. It controlled her entire body and made her thrash and scream in pain. There was no stopping the pain.
She was a Nobody. What could she do to stop it anyhow?
Soundwave smirked, focusing harder. He was going to get this one good… He would violate the precious foundation of her mind and utterly fuck up her mental stability.
It would be fun.
Dove let out a final scream of intense hurt. She suddenly went limp, totally unconscious.
Soundwave grinned wickedly, preparing to do what he did best. He had broke her mind block, and now…he was going to see what was in the fleshling's mind.
x-x-x-x-x-x-
Dove let out a moan, feeling the searing pain subside, and become a numb coldness.
She looked around, seeing total darkness. She saw she was hanging from blue, glowing chains from some ceiling, and was slowly swinging like a pendulum.
She flinched when she heard deafening laughter, then gasped as she was able to see everything clearly.
Before her loomed Soundwave, who was laughing and smirking at her gleefully.
And, everywhere around them, even on the ground, there weremoving images. There were millions of sounds happening all at once. Dove looked around, mesmerized.
It was somewhat amazing.
There was something familiar about all those images, all those sounds though.
"WHERE ARE WE?!" Dove screeched, trying to speak over all the noise.
Soundwave grinned, snapping his fingers. Everything stopped. No more noise, no more motion. All was serene and placid.
"We are in your mind, human."
Dove looked at him wide eyed. "What? How?"
He smiled even wider. "One of my special skills is being able to 'mind probe' different beings. Currently, I am probing YOUR mind. Around us is all of your memories, all of your knowledge…everything you know!"
Dove grimaced. "No… Please. Stop! Please, don't!"
'STOP IT YOU NOBODY!'
She twitched, screaming again as the searing hot agony spilled over her.
Soundwave laughed. "I AM GOING TO MENTALLY TORTURE YOU AND BREAK YOU DOWN!"
She screamed again, thrashing uselessly. She felt as if her brain, and her entire body was melting. It was so horrible.
Oh, dear agony
Hear my song
Let me pray to thee
Dear Agony, Dear Agony
Dear Agony, what has kept you here for so long?
Why can't you just move along
And end my pain?
Dear Agony
You're making my life a game
Filling me with eternal pain
Dear Agony
Why can't I make a simple plan
And be the same guy I was again
Or is my life over now?
Dear Agony, Dear Agony
Listen to my song
Dear Agony, Dear Agony
Make the darkness move along
Dear Agony, Dear Agony
I'm trudging through rocky mountains
And wading through murky waters
Dear Agony, Dear Agony
I have nothing left to give thee
This should be my perfect end
You were made to make me hurt
Now make me dissolve into the dirt
Soundwave smirked as everything started back up again. He began to slowly sort through her memories and intelligence, looking bored.
"You poor, pitiful thing…" He watched multiple scenes of Dove being abused by her family and made fun of at school. He watched over and over all the times she cried and wished for something to make all her suffering end.
"I almost feel mercy for you…" Soundwave said. Despite his mental torture, he could tell that showing the human her memories…many of which were bad…was making her hurt even more. "But, unfortunately, I don't." He laughed, still showing her multiple memories.
Ashes to ashes
And dust to dust
Let tears fall, if they must
Dear Agony, Dear Agony
I will fight for one last breath
I will fight until my death
Dear Agony, Dear Agony
Is this the way it must be?
Carry me to Heaven
On your broken and black wings
Dear Agony, Dear Agony
Is this the way it's gots to be?
Dear Agony, Dear Agony
Listen to my song
Dear Agony, Dear Agony
Make the darkness move along
Dear Agony, Dear Agony
I'm trudging through rocky mountains
And wading through murky waters
Dear Agony, Dear Agony
I have nothing left to give thee
This should be my perfect end
You were made to make me hurt
Now make me dissolve into the dirt
Dear Agony
Please let me go
Dear Agony
My numbness grows
Dear Agony
I hate you so
Dear Agony
Tell me where forever dies
Dear Agony, Dear Agony
I don't think I want to die
There's nothing left
And God let me go
I feel nothing
Filled with darkness
Oh, how I hate you so
My sin unrighteous
It's time for me to leave
My letter ends
With the word Sincerely
Dear Agony
Dear Agony
Dear Agony
Dove cringed, feeling herself start to break.
'It's okay to fall. No one cares anyways….' The Hate within her said. 'It'll be okay. Just let yourself fade, Nobody.'
Dove gritted her teeth, trying to control herself.
She tried to think of the Autobots, which instantly made an image of Bumblebee pop up. Soundwave laughed, gazing darkly at the image of the giddy yellow Cybertronian.
"You can do all you can to erase the pain, but it will not work!"
Dove cried harder, thinking of a song verse that could maybe make her feel better. She had to do all she could to stop herself from slipping completely.
What ever may come
Where ever you're lost
Remember there'll always be a place for us
Castles we build crumble to dust
Don't worry there'll always be a place for us.
She tried to picture the Autobots, and mere happy moments, but it didn't work. Se couldn't think of anything good. She could barely remember the good things… Dove was being destroyed.
She screamed again, feeling the pain intense. "AGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!"
Soundwave laughed. "I AM YOUR DEMON! I WILL MAKE YOU FALL!"
Dove cried, feeling a coldness sweep over her.
There was no fighting it. The Dark was taking over.
She felt herself become numb as the pain began to break her down.
It was over. Soundwave had won. He was breaking her slowly, making her crumble like dirt.
And this was only the first day out of a week.
