Hey all. I feel like a fool. I had this uploaded to my docs and thought I had published it but…. Guess what? I DIDN'T! Yay for forgetfulness.
TheGhost129: You can never truly judge a person, huh? Thanks for being a reviewer.

Lynn Kinght: It gets a little better towards the end of this final chapter. Thanks for being a reviewer.
"Ugh…." She opened her optics, quickly shutting them off as light flooded them. Where was she? She didn't remember; actually she couldn't remember anything.
Shooting into a sitting position, she grabbed her head. Looking around, she didn't see anything that sparked a memory, not that there seemed to be any.
She felt some liquid fill her optics, spilling out. Where was she? What happened? As hard as she tried, she couldn't remember. The liquid poured out, spilling out onto the soft covers beneath her.
What was her name?
A giant door nearby hissed open, a tall intimidating form filling it completely. Red optics glowed from the shadowed faceplate. Toni pulled into herself, pausing slightly in confusion.
Toni? Was that her name? The tall figure strode over to Toni as she sifted through her confusion. Plucking her off of the pillows, her cradled her to his chassis and gave a low hum.
Toni struggled in his grip, fighting until she was too tired to fight any more. She lay spent against him, listening to the humming. He gave a chuckle.
"You certainly are stubborn, Toni." Toni lifted her head slowly, her own optics meeting his own. Though red, they were filled to the brim with happiness. Something else lay beyond those optics though, something darker.
"Wh….who are you?" Toni looked away from him, down towards his hand. He vented slowly, sagging a little.
"I didn't realize that Soundwave would be so through…." He muttered, obviously not meaning for Toni to hear. "My name is Megatron, and I am your….. father."
Toni thought about this; it didn't seem like a lie, but…. Deciding to trust his word, she pushed herself into his chassis further, making him hum.
"What is that?" Toni asked him, looking up at him. He gave a smile, optics proud.
"It's my spark beat. It seems so loud because I am happy; you made me happy." Toni looked down, embarrassed. How odd that sound; it seemed familiar but at the same time not quite right.
SOUNDWAVE
Soundwave leaned back in his chair, contemplating the consoles in front of him. Or, rather just one screen. It was a small feed from the Autobot base, from LaserBeak. The Prime was still in the medical bay, recovering from the sudden spark break. The weapons specialist was mourning, having not left his quarters in three human 'days'.
Soundwave gave a smirk under his facemask. They all thought she was dead, offlined by the Decepticons; it was perfect.
The smirk slid off his faceplates as his thoughts drifted to Toni. He had to see each and every one of her memories to eliminate them; he knew her better than she herself did now.
He knew her favorite color, the name she gave her first stuffed animal, her first boyfriend. The last one gave him pause, grimacing. The boy was scum, as most young males were; he had been certain he was Primus's gift to femmes. He was worse than even that insufferable Autobot Sunstreaker.
Speaking of, Soundwave turned to his console.
:Rumble? Have you completed your mission?:
:Yes, creator. The one named Tori Lars has been terminated.:
:Good. Return.: Soundwave cut off the communications, leaning back into his seat again. Getting rid of that girl not only removed another tie that Toni had her, but also struck a nice blow to the twins.
Going back to sifting through the remains of Toni's memories, he stiffened up. So the weapons specialist had feelings for Toni, hmm? That just wouldn't do; Soundwave had plans.
His plans…. They were finally coming to fruition. He had waited for too long, and he had missed his opportunity. Now, he had another chance.
Looking at the screen where Toni was looking around on, he smirked. She had just turned a reasonable age, just out of youngling age. 17 Earth years.
Leaning back into his seat, Soundwave contemplated his plan.
It was about time for him to settle down with a sparkmate, after all.
Okay guys, this was the last chapter in this story. Like I said, I will be doing a sequel to this story. I will post a notice on this chapter when I get the first chapter out. I hope you all liked the story.
