Chapter 26 everyone. Hope you enjoy.
On Cybertron
Thundercracker was still carrying Sideswipe when they reached Shockwave's lab.
"Where is Shockwave located?" the Seeker asked.
Sideswipe was still recovering from that traumatic experience so he was still shaking and could only stutter.
"I-I d-d-do-n't kn-n-n-o-o-ow".
The blue seeker sighed and walked through the door and began searching for the Decepticon scientist. He kept wandering around when a door on the side slided open and Shockwave was on the other side.
"What are you doing here Thundercracker"? he asked in a cold voice.
Thundercracker just grinned and told Shockwave everything from when he saw the red Autobot to the point where he saved the youngling.
"Now I have a question for you assassin… Why isn't this Autobot dead"?
Shockwave glared at the seeker, but was unable to answer. If he found out, then he would tell Megatron and his mate and children would be executed. Sideswipe looked at the scientist and stuttered out two words.
"T-t-t-tr-ust h-h-him".
Sideswipe passed out. Shockwave immediately grabbed his son and cradled him close to his chest. He glanced back up at the seeker who has been quiet. After a brief moment of silence, Shockwave asked.
"Why did you save him"?
"Because he reminded me of my son…before he was offlined by Megatron".
Shockwave was in shock. If Thundercracker was in the same situation as he and Soundwave were, what about his trine? Starscream and Skywarp? He remembered what Sideswipe said. Trust him.
"Follow me Thundercracker".
The Decepticon scientist then walked down through the hallway with the blue seeker following. They went inside a room where Soundwave was sitting at a table and the rest of the younglings were sitting on the floor. When Shockwave walked in though, they all jumped up and almost screamed at the sight of Thundercracker following him.
"WHAT IN THE NAME OF THE ALLSPARK IS GOING ON!"
"Calm down everyone. We have nothing to fear."
Shockwave handed Sideswipe to Soundwave and whispered something in his ear. Soundwave nodded and left the room with all of his creations and Sunstreaker behind him. The Decepticon scientist sighed and sat down.
"Please have a seat Thundercracker and let me explain why the Autobot twins are alive with me".
Cliffhanger. Don't worry though, all will be revealed in the next chapter. Please review.
