Chapter 2
Several months have passed since Soundwave was teleported into the sovereign. Since then, he has learned much of his situation. After discovering several human towns and cities that were unknown to him, Soundwave begin to think he was in an alternate reality. This would be later confirmed when attempted to contact the Nemesis after restoring power, to no avail, and discovering the existence of an organization that contained individuals with unbelievable powers for an organic called the Justice League. With all this information, Soundwave realized that the artifact he acquired was a device capable of interdimensional travel. Seeing that he was in an alternate reality, he wondered what he should do. He could try to use the device to go back home but there was little-to-no chance of ever going back to the reality he knew. If what he knew of parallel universes and the like was correct, there were an infinite amount of parallel universes, each different from the other. The chances of finding his own were slim to none. Nevertheless, he will try. And when he does, Megatron will be most pleased to have a ship full of powerful weapons, armor, and equipment at his disposal. Some of which was thought to be lost forever. But first, finding a way to triangulate and lock on to his own reality. To do so, much to his reluctance, he had to rely on human technology to achieve his goal. Using his holo-matter avatar to interact with the organics and buy anything he needed. He did this because it was necessary. With the information, he had on some of the more powerful, meta-humans as they were called, he had no doubt he will not survive a fight with them. That and he wanted to remain hidden as he alone and had no support. As a result, he had to do all his operations the hard way.
Fortunately, it was relatively easy to acquire the currency the humans use by hacking the stock market, giving him near limit-less amounts of money. He also hacked into several government databases to give his holo-matter avatar with the documents and records necessary for life here in this reality. With all these, he purchased a room in an apartment that was the closet to where the Sovereign was. After doing all the necessary things that were required for his holo-avatar to be a member of society, he proceeded to have the avatar to purchase several high-tech devices and gadgets from companies called Wayne industries and S.T.A.R. Much to his surprise, the technology in this reality was far superior to that of the world he originally came from. Made his job much easier though. After a few months of purchasing equipment necessary in finding a way home and restoring the Sovereign to operational status, he made some progress in journey to find a way home. He was still years away from completing his mission but it was a start. He also managed to restore most of the Sovereign's systems. The only things that required more repairs were the engines and the several non-essential systems. Everything else was operational and ready to be used. With the ship mostly operational, Soundwave explored the ship for anything that he can use. Both for his defense and for his objective. And he was surprise at the amount he found. Of what he found so far, he found several operational Decepticon dropships and gunships, two APCs, a wide array of Cybertronian weapons, several heavy vehicles including a tank, a large amount of Energon, and finally, to his relief, several prototype Energon converters.
He had heard of those. During the war, when it was realized that Energon was beginning to become scarce, several scientists from both sides attempted to create a device that can convert anything into Energon. The attempts have had limited success with the most successful one only able to create a few cubes a day. And by the time the war ended, all research was stopped or was destroyed with the scientists either dead or have given up. Except for Shockwave, who realized that it was feasible and necessary to do, which is why the Energon convertors were here. The Sovereign was made by the Decepticon scientist when he needed a lab that would be constantly on the move and was undetectable by scanners. It was here that he did most of his more…important projects. When the Sovereign disappeared, Shockwave simply ignored it and continued his experiments without delay. Though it was rumored that Shockwave was angry at the loss of the Energon convertors research on the ship. Soundwave made a mental note to thank the Decepticon scientist. That is if he wasn't dead as Starscream had said he was.
Upon finding the convertors, Soundwave had spent much time in figuring out how to operate them, what issues they had, and what they needed. Fortunately, the Energon convertors had no drawbacks other than they needed to take a break every now and then to prevent overheating. Something that can be easily overlooked by Soundwave as he had more than enough Energon convertors to allow several to take a break every now and then. Plus, he had an abundant amount of Energon to use and he was just one bot. So, now the only problem was getting a reliable source to convert to Energon. Luckily, he found a way after some digging. He found that the Energon convertors will take any source of energy and that there was an underground water source near the Sovereign. So he dug to the water source, linked the Energon convertors to the water, and he witnessed the water being turned into Energon. When he got back to his own reality, Soundwave had no doubt that Megatron will be very pleased at his discovery of such a useful device. Right now, though, he needed them to survive in this world.
Few weeks later
The Sovereign's bridge
Soundwave was getting bored. As much as he disliked admitting it, Knockout was a great source of amusement. It had always amused him when the doctor will complain about his finish being ruined or making a joke to pass the time. So, to pass the time and when he hit a dead end in his mission to get back home, he often watched videos in the internet or play a few human online games. He had to admit, the humans make some very interesting and entertaining things that do nothing but waste time. He was also amused at whenever they get something that they don't want or was wrong in their eyes, they rage and complain about it with no evidence to support them. Like when he watched this new fictional female from an internet so go against another female fictional character that everyone just loves. It amused him how far fans from both sides will go to either defend or disprove that video. Though he will admit it was rather disturbed with some of the so-called fanart both sides do and how disappointed he was at how inappropriate some were. Nevertheless, it amused him at seeing organics waste so much time at such trivial manners. After being called a hacker multiple times in an online website for a card game called Yu-Gi-Oh, he decided to take a break from all this nonsense and spend some time outside. With that he activated a ground bridge to take him outside since the Sovereign was underground. He also made some modifications to his and the Sovereign's ground bridge was undetectable by any from of detection. A feat that was done due to Shockwave's research. As soon as he was out in a forest and after making sure he was alone and that nobody saw the ground bridge, he transformed into Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG (The car Soundwave was disguised as in the 3rd transformers movie.) and drove to a local drive-in theater so he can watch a movie or two. The reason Soundwave had a car-form instead of his aircraft-form was because it was necessary. A car-form was a better way at maintaining a low-profile than a flying unmanned drone. After paying for the admissions fee with his holo-avatar, Soundwave was watching the human movie that was on. Much to his annoyance, it was a movie about love and romance. Soundwave never entertained the idea of getting a spark mate. He was far too busy with his work. He will admit that some of the Decepticon femmes were attractive but he never thought of being a spark mate with them. He had several encounters with Slipstream but that was it. He never had the chance to have a Spark mate and probably never will.
Once the movie was done, Soundwave drove away, eager to get away from the theater. As he was driving he heard some police chatter about some destruction happening in the city and that it was being caused by a meta-human or alien. Curious, Soundwave decided to investigate. Sure enough, Soundwave spotted the cause of the destruction being a girl with cuffs of some sort on her arms. He noticed that there were other people there as well. A green boy with a suit, a man with a sweater, another boy with a green, red and yellow suit, and finally a girl with a cloak that covered her whole body. Intrigued, Soundwave stayed to watch as the boy in the muti-color suit helped the girl remove the cuffs. After he did so the girl, much to the surprise to everyone, kissed the boy. After the kiss, the girl shoved the boy away and told him to stay away from her. With that, she flew away in a hurry. The remaining humans were about to go their separate ways when a massive alien ship arrived. It came right across the ocean, and then stopped over a little tiny island just off the main land. There was a buzzing sound and a holograph of giant alien lizard was standing on the island so the whole city could see. The image of him was a little fuzzy, but then cleared. It then spoke.
"People of Earth. Please do not be alarmed. We bring you no harm. All we need is the escaped alien girl that is on this planet. Do not interfere and we will spare your pathetic planet and your existence. Help her and all of you will be doomed," it said. "Our leader has ordered us to find her. Do not interfere with our mission on Earth and we will leave as soon as she is captured." With that the hologram ended and the ship unleashed hundreds upon hundreds of alien warriors. They scattered around the city, hoping to find the girl so they can return home. As this was happening the four teens argued with each other on what to do until eventually they all decided to work together to find the girl and help her. As they were leaving Soundwave was contemplating what to do. This was not his fight but yet, if he ignored this he may as well as endanger his chances of getting back home if he allowed the humans to help the girl. The hologram said that it will destroy this planet if anyone interfered and he had a suspicion he wasn't bluffing. After some contemplations, he decided to help them so long as it was done quietly. With that, he transformed back into robot form and activated a device that he found in the Sovereign. Soon, he was shrinking until he was the size of a human. He looked around to get used to the new height change. After he finished adjusting, he transformed his right arm to a Neutron assault rifle before following the teenagers in their foolish quest. Unbeknownst to him, this was the start of a new life for him.
Just to clarify. The weapons and vehicles he found Soundwave are the same things as those found in the Fall of Cybertron and War for Cybertron games. Also, I included a kind of device that turns things into Energon so that Soundwave won't have a problem with Energon. Also, can anyone guess what video Soundwave watched. And I also gave Soundwave a device that can shrink himself. Makes things more practical. I mean, c'mon, how else can a giant robot fit into the tower( Aside from his holo-avatar).
