Cybertron, a dead land filled of wonder and terror beyond the solar system. It is a planet filled with nothing, but war and death, filling the plates with blood and darkness. Fire, bodies, and left overs spread throughout the land of the metal. None is shown to be alive or dead, only being wipe out as a result of both factions, such as the Autobots and the Decepticons. Both side fall from one and another, with no clear victory from both side. Even with these wars, none is more unique in its own twisted mind as Shockwave.
Deep in the city crawl, not to far from the star sky. A tower stood, giving out limited of windows to be shown of the war. Inside the tower was a lab, with Shockwave creating something on a work table that is hidden away by the sparks coming out of it, being the only light source in the room. He is using somekind torch of some sort, lighting and creating something that his only eye can see. He was not a transformer known for breaks or complaints; He was a loyal and hard working Decepticons, which is why he waited for his leader to contact him in so many years. While not the brightest one, he is shown to be sometime aggresive, even with his calm and logical nature.
Then, someone came in from the sliding entrance. This someone was Megatron, leader of the Decepticons. He was there to check on him, for any ideas or success. The room itself was filled with nothing but junks and spare parte; Tubes, wires, and metal spread everywhere, sometime stacking on each other or hanging on the ceiling. Shockwave doesn't mind the junk fill in his room, as long it doesn't bother in his experiments. Some of them, even includes dead Cybertronians, sometime being mistook as statues. Megatron was a bit horrid by his suboridnates unbearable, crowded room, but he knew that his loyalty was too much to be criticizes. After all, it wasn't like he was a traitous idiot, similar to someone else in his second in command.
Megatron approach him, commenting on his job: "Well, it seem's that you are quite a hard worker to forget your ways of cleansing".
"I never forget", Shockwave replied, calmly, "The expriments itself is the only thing I am more focus on, besides my corrupt nature of my lab".
"and yet, you refuse to pause and check on it".
"My experiment can benefit our cause, more than this, Lord Megatron".
"hmm, so it seems", Megatron said, still looking around, but not the table itself. It was hard for anyone to see it, including Megatron. Shockwave himself, still hasn't turn to face him, nor is pausing his experiment to meet him. Megatron was confuse, and possibly was interest, "Shockwave, no offense to stop your track; but What are you creating?"
"Just a personal project".
"What kind of personal project?" Megatron asked, "Is it a new weapon of some sort".
"Maybe. it's very complicated, and I feel like you might not comprehend of it, my liege".
"why won't I comprehend it?"
"...it's very complicated", Shockwave only responded.
Growling from his subordinates refuses to cooperate, Megatron kept on talking: "I see; Could you at least reveal your creation to me, soon. Not only to me, but to my other fellow decepticons? Surely, it wouldn't be a problem, hmm?"
"I...must work now, without thinking of it, yet".
Not trying to be patient of his respond, Megatron admit his curiosity reason to dive into his creation: "Look Shockwave, since I am your leader. Would you at least explain to me, what it is? I was the one to consider you as my loyal companion, remember?"
Shockwave stop, and look at him; fact to fact, with no emotion on his face. Shockwave finally comply: "If you're certain to know much about my project, would you take it up a bit consideration; you may not like it, but it might bring some opportunities in the future".
"Whatever it is, tell me".
"Very Well then", Shockwave said, "Had you ever notice the Autobots have their own useful, human companion, Sari?"
"Yes, why?"
"Hear me out", Shockwave continue, "It might sound something that would make you lash out on me; But knowing this would give us an advantage, I am creating a human boy".
This reveal made Megatron increasly Shock, and angry; A human working for them? Sure, there were many time a human work for them, but they sometime only do it for their own personal game or life; not supporting their ideals, which is why the Decepticons sometime only use them as slaves and would only repay them back by killing them off, or far worst, using them in a experiment. This made him outrage: "WHAT?! In every holy all spark, why would you-?!"
"Now, now, Lord Megatron", Shockwave try to calm his leader down, "I assure you, there is a logical reason for that",
Shockwave begin to explain: "Creating a living human may sound unpleasant, but if you think about it, the Autobots would never harm a human at all cost. Meaning if this boy is out in the battlefield, they would surely not kill it, which would allow for us to take them down, more efficient".
"What are you saying?"
"I'm saying we need a human ally", Shockwave continue, "Without one, we are truly out number. The Autobots and the humans are becoming too dependent on each other, resulting a clash between their technology and ours".
"So what're you suggesting?"
"I am suggesting a more efficant company. One that could compete with the Autobots very own human".
"Which is why you are creating this...odd one", Megatron glare the sight on the table, comprehending his thoughts on this matter.
"In your words, Yes", Shockwave replied, calmly and soflty, not wanting to upset Megatron much further.
Megatron thought through this. His mind wasn't sure. In one hand, he could destroy Shockwave little experiemnt and berate him for his foolish ideas. But even if he did destroy it, he knew the regret might come in. Losing a chance to defeat the Autobots because of his decision. A decision done by a fool like him. Even Starscream would do something like that and that saying much. So after sometime of thinking, his glare was at Shockwave, and he wad waiting for somekind of respond. He respond, indeed, "Interesting. Very well, I'll allow you to continue with your...experiment".
Shockwave emotion was mixed, but he felt a little relieve for his leader to accept it. Something that surprise him a bit. Before Megtron left the room, he said one more thing, "But know this, If it does not compete with my expectation, your little experiment is no longer useful anymore, understood?"
Shockwave bow slowly and more gently, "Yes lord Megatron, I understood logically".
The door was shut, leaving him with the incomplete body on the table. He ponder a bit, not just Megatron request, but also his own. Wondering if he was doing was logical or not. Wondering if his experiemnt was worthy for them and him. Worthy to Cybertron itself. While his mind was caught up in this situation, he thought of something else. The name. What name should he choose for his experiment?
He look down and think, his eye becoming a bit more darker, and a little flickering. Then, he got it. A perfect name for his creation, "Reg, I'll call you, Reg".
welp, this is a good start. Short, but I'll continue in the later one to improve on it. Now then, where to begin. Oh yes, apology for this remake chapter to take so long. I have been busy of doing some other things, so this is why it took so long to write. Not to mention, this whole event going on. So I hope everyone enjoy this chapter and stay tune for more.
