Things get heated for the autobots, while things get hot for the decepticons!~
Not gonna lie people, Rodimus becomes a big jerk in this chapter...
Not as big as Canon Sentinel but still pretty mean...
When you lose people you love, who can lose pieces of yourself too...

"Alright Soundwave, I'm here. Ready to be picked up tomorrow. And be careful, there's a lot of them."
"Shockwave: Underestimates Soundwave."
"Only because I appreciate you."
"Soundwave: Appreciates Shockwave as well."

When the Repair Crew were drving back to the Elite guard's ship the next day, they heard blaster noises coming from inside the ship.
"AHH! WHO THE FRAG IS THIS CREEP?!" Blurr yelled, talking at a normal pace for once.
"That's Soundwave! We need to rip off his tentacles! Jazz, use your ninja weapons! Arcee, use your swords!" Rodimus shouted.
"Why is getting out his guitar?" Jazz questioned.
"GET DOWN!" Rodimus cried out.
Sentinel and his team were forced to cover their audials as a sudden blast of air and sound errupted from the ship.
When it ended, a familiar figure ran from the ship and had an unconscious Longarm in his tentacles.
"NO!" Rodimus roared, running out of the ship as well, aiming a flaming arrow at Soundwave's helm.
Arcee ran from the ship as well and grabbed the Prime's shoulder. "Rodimus stop! You might hit Longarm!"
Rodimus growled and transformed into his alt mode. "Then we'll hunt him down!"
Arcee had a desperate expression on her face. "Rodimus, I'm sorry but we can't! Remember what Ultra Mag-"
"I am NOT losing another teammate, Arcee! I can't expect someone who lost their memories of war to understand!" And so Rodimus drives past a shocked and hurt Arcee to chase Soundwave.
The team were also shocked by Rodimus' mean words. Ratchet touches Sentinel's shoulder. "You and everyone else should go inside the ship to see the damage. I'll handle this."
Sentinel nodded. "Okay, Ratchet."
Ratchet slowly walks towards Arcee to comfort her. " How are you feeling, Arcee?"
Arcee sighed wiped a single tear from her optic. "Yeah, I'm okay."
Ratchet shook his head. "No, you're not. He shouldn't have said that. That was unfair to you. Just because he lost people, doesn't mean he should treat other people like garbage. It even took me a while to figure that out."
Arcee didn't know how to respond. Ratchet opened his arms wide.
"Come on, kid. Hugs ain't my specialty, but it looks like you need one."
Arcee giggled, a few more tears sliding down her cheeks and she accepted the invatation. "I'm old as you and you know it, Mr. Grump."
Ratchet chuckled warmly. "I invented grumpiness and you know that."

Later that day Rodimus returned, looking both angry and defeated.
"I wasn't fast enough. Soundwave transformed into a jet and got away,"
Ultra Magnus sighed. "Rodimus, I have been talking with Sentinel and… Blackarachnia about what to do next. And even though you disobeyed my orders and disrespected your fellow teammates, you are correct. We can't afford to let Longarm stay in decepticon hands. The knowledge he contains in his processor is too dangerous. We need to get him back and we are gonna get him back."
For the first time since Rodimus got here, he smiled. "Alright! Thank you sir! I am-"
Ultra Magnus raised his hand and interrupted Rodimus. "But if you want to be part of this mission, you have to do two things. One: You have to listen and follow Blackarachnia's plan. And two: you have to apologize to Arcee for what you said."
The guilt hit Rodimus like a rock. "Yeah you're right, I really should apologize...I didn't mean what I said, I was just so angry and-"
"I know you didn't mean it Rodimus, but this is why you have to control your emotions better if you want to be Magnus one day."

Shockwave moaned shamelessly in his Longarm form as Soundwave pinned him to the wall with his tentacles and the bluish-green con removed his mouth mask and kissed all over his sparkmate's neck.
"Soundwave: Missed Shockwave."
Shockwave smirked when he felt Soundwave use his hands to grab and massage his plump rump. Soundwave always secretly had a thing for behinds. Even though Shockwave doesn't understand why Soundwave likes butts, however Shockwave is willing to give Soundwave what he wants. Hence why Shockwave asked Blackarachnia to make his disguise chubby instead of skinny. Shockwave can't help but feel pleased that he knows his partner so well. Not to mention, the massage feels wonderful.
Shockwave looks at Soundwave and Shockwave removes his sunglasses, revealing Soundwave's hypnotic optics. Shockwave is aware that Soundwave's optics have no real mind control powers, but he still feels like he's being lost in a trance and he's enjoying it. "We should go to Megatron and talk about the plans."
Soundwave nodded.
Shockwave leans in for a kiss, which Soundwave returns. "After one interface session in your room… actually, considering how busy everyone is right now… we better make it more than one."
Soundwave nodded again, this time with a grin that rivals Orion's rare grin of goofy happiness.
Megatron is still enjoying his personal time with Orion. Knockout and Breakdown are having their own fun. Lugnut is making special calls to Strika. They might as well have some special fun of their own. Soundwave brings Shockwave into his room to properly relearn each other's minds and bodies.
Blitzwing is trying to read a datapad in his room. He has a deadpan look on his blue face. "The Nemesis has officially become the deception breeding grounds."
