I just realized it's been almost a month since the last time I updated, sorry about that. I been pretty much focusing more on my editing than on stories. Also I was having a hard time thinking of what to do in this chapter, but I finally got an idea and got the time to write it out. Sorry it's a bit shorter than the rest it's what I can come out with. xD Enjoy!
When Arcee got back to the ship she was greeted by Soundwave who grabbed her and took her to his room. Arcee tried to get her arm out of his grip but it was no use. They get to the room and he closes the door and looks at her, "What was that all about Soundwave?" She asked as she glared at him.
Soundwave showed footage of her with the Autobots helping Breakdown, "You need to be careful... Lord Megatron doesn't like being disobeyed." He tells her.
"I didn't think it was right to leave him in their hands. I'm not sure why though, I know Decepticons aren't supposed to care but I do."
Soundwave just stood there looking at her and listening to what she's saying, he could tell she still has that good spark of an Autobot even though she's supposed to be a Decepticon now. Arcee looks at him, "I guess you're gonna show Megatron and let him know."
Soundwave just shook his helm to confirm he won't as he looked into her optics, the blue and lavender colors were gone as well as the light that twinkled in her optics. That's the one thing he hated about the chip mind control, that it took out the color and light he loves so much in her optics. He was mesmerized by her optics the moment he first looked into them, he was pulled in and had trouble looking away.
"Why would you help me and keep this from him?" She asked feeling confused.
He just looked at her then walked past her and went over to a table that was set up in his room where he sets Laserbeak to rest. He removes Laserbeak from his chest and lays him down on the table so he can recharge, then he looks back at Arcee, "Time to rest... You can take the berth I have work to do." He said before he headed out of the room.
Arcee watched him as he left, she felt even more confused than before. Why would he keep her secret and keep her safe? She just shrugged it off as she went to lay down on the berth, I better not wake up to find him sleeping in the berth right next to me again. She thinks to herself as she doses off into recharge.
At Autobot base the 'Bots were reeling from their run-in with Arcee, they couldn't believe she didn't remember them, "Arcee's still in there, I know it." Bulkhead spoke up.
"I do believe she is, we need to find a way to get her from them so we can remove the chip and reverse what Megatron did." Ratchet added.
"She really couldn't remember any of you?" Jack asked.
"Nope, don't even remember ever being an Autobot." Ratchet replied.
"So she won't remember me." Jack says with a sad look. Miko walks over to him and gives him a hug which surprised him, and Raf put a hand on his arm.
"We'll get her to remember, I promise." Optimus tells him. Jack just gives him a weak smile, "It's time for the kids to go home. Jack, I'll take you home." Optimus says as he looks at the boy.
"Ok." Jack says as he gets his stuff together. Optimus transformed and let Jack get in, once he was in Optimus drove off.
Soundwave was doing his work when Megatron walked up to him, "How's Arcee? Is she settling in alright?"
"Yes... She's in my room recharging right now."
"Good. She is very useful, I don't want anyone or anything messing with my plans."
Soundwave just acknowledged he heard him and went on with his work.
"I'm gonna tell you a secret Soundwave, I want it to stay between you and me."
Soundwave turned to look at him to let him know he was listening.
"I believe I'm starting to get feelings for Arcee."
Soundwave stood there and just listened to his lord and master talk about his feelings for the femme he had feelings for. Though he did have his suspicions that Megatron was starting to feel for her.
"She's tough, a good fighter and she's very beautiful."
"What about Optimus?" Soundwave asked as he remembered how Megatron revealed his feelings for Optimus to him. Megatron started getting feelings for Optimus when they started becoming friends as Orion and Megatronus and exceeded into their new names and forms as Optimus and Megatron. It made it even harder to go to war against him as he never thought he would go to war with the mech he loved, but they are at war together and he no longer can see them getting together.
"I can't see us getting together anymore with the whole war going on. All this fighting pretty much killed it."
"Understandable." Soundwave said as he felt a twinge in his spark. All he could do was hope Megatron could get the feelings for Optimus back and let him have Arcee, if he can get her to love him back.
"This stays between us two." Megatron told him firmly. Soundwave just nodded in confirmation. Megatron then walked out and Soundwave got back to his work.
Optimus stops in front of Jack's house and lets him out then waits for him to get inside. Jack goes into the garage and sees a package sitting on the table, he opens it up and finds out what it is. He runs out to Optimus who was getting ready to leave and he stops him, "Optimus! My mom's in trouble!"
"Get in!" Optimus says as he opens his door and Jack gets in and they drive off to the location presented to them through the device Jack found. Optimus tried calling base but ended up getting a helmache, "Something's preventing me from calling out." He says as he drives on.
I know it was a bit cheesy but it was the best I could come up with. :\
