Chapter 3

RisingSolstice- What are you trying to say? Are you telling me information about other generations? Or something else. Also I'm planning to give him only Laserbeak.


Soundwave was silently following the group of teens as they were attempting to find the fugitive. As he was doing so, he couldn't help but wonder if he can use the alien's technology to help him on his quest to return home. He accounted for all the variables and decided that, it wasn't something to consider. So, he decided to merely help them by taking out some of the aliens. Eventually, the group went into a store where the green human claimed the fugitive was. Deciding to remain outside, Soundwave looked out for any sign of the aliens. And luck would have it, a group of them approaching the store. Knowing that the humans will be discovered, Soundwave silently approached the group, who looked at Soundwave. The group look a little shocked at him at first but then put on stoic faces.

"Halt! Identify yourself." Said the leader. When Soundwave didn't respond, the group raised and pointed their weapons at him. "I'll say it again. Identify yourself or be…Akk!" The alien couldn't say anymore when Soundwave stabbed him with his arm that transformed into an Energon blade he equipped from the Sovereign. As the life left the alien's eyes, Soundwave fired at the remaining aliens with his Neutron assault rifle, hitting them all with a perfect headshot. Their heads exploded as the rounds impacted with their heads, blood spewed everywhere and chunks of brain matter spilled on the floor and on Soundwave. If a Cybertronian's armor could fall in a few shots, what chance did these aliens have? Upon reloading his weapons and cleaning himself, Soundwave grabbed all the bodies and dragged them in an alley before dumping them in a dumpster. And not a moment too soon as the humans left the store with the fugitive in tow.

Seeing that they were leaving, Soundwave pursued them, ever so silently. After a few minutes, the same hologram of the alien came back.

"People of Earth. Someone has interfered with the alien girl and has killed some of my soldiers. For this, you are all doomed. We have a weapon that can and will destroy your whole city. It will only be a matter of time before it is ready. You have been warned," and with that said, it dissolved back into the ship. The group looked at each other, confused on what just happened.

"Uhh…not to be the stupid one but…WHAT JUST HAPPENED!?" Yelled the green one.

"The Gordanian leader said that someone had killed some of his soldiers and plans to destroy this city for it." Said the fugitive girl. Soundwave looked at the girl. Did she not know about sarcasm?

"Yeah, but who did that? Did someone just go up and murdered some aliens just to cause trouble?" Asked the man in the sweat jacket.

"I don't know but I don't care." Said the black-haired boy. "What I do care is that guy is planning to destroy this city and we have to stop it." The others nodded their heads in agreement.

"Yes, go and try to stop an entire army from destroying this city." Thought Soundwave as he walked away from them, not wanting to be involved anymore. "Meanwhile, I got some packing to do." He was about to revert to his original size when he detected some sort of power behind him. He turned to see the group disappearing in some sort of black magic. He was a little surprised but ignored it and activated his ground bridge. He walked into it and was in the Sovereign again. If this city was about to be destroyed, then he needed to carry as much equipment as possible and get away from this place before it could be destroyed. He put as many weapons into his sub-space and placed the Energon convertors in a drop-ship. He was about to activate a drop-ship when his instruments detected a sudden spike in energy but then suddenly stopped. Curious, Soundwave went to the bridge and put up the feeds of the cameras he placed all over the city in case there was something of interest for him there. When he brought up the camera near the island where the aliens landed, he was surprised to see the group of teenagers in the trashed remains of what he assumed to be the bridge. He was even more surprised to see the alien crew all over the floor around them, defeated. He never suspected them to prevail against the aliens and prevent them from destroying this city. He would have to keep an eye on them. But first, he had to placing everything back to their respectable places.


Few days later


After some digging and watching the news, Soundwave deduced who the human teenagers where. The man in the sweatshirt was called Cyborg and he was part in an experiment that caused him to replace most of his organic parts with machinery. Soundwave considered the older teenager to be fortunate to survive, the amount of damage he took should had killed him if it weren't for the amazing technology of this world. The technology rivaled Cybertronian technology, something that Soundwave could respect. The fugitive was something called a Tamaranean and was called Starfire. That was all he had about her. The green boy used to be a part of a super-human group called the Doom patrol. He had since went out on his own to make a name for himself. The black-haired boy was called Robin and he used to be partners with a man called Batman but something caused them to go separate ways. The final one, the one he had little information on, was called Raven. There was literally nothing else that he can find about her, something that intrigued him. There was plenty of information on the others, besides the alien, but she was a mystery. No birth information, no information on family, and no information on…anything really. It would be a challenge to find information on her. Soundwave loved a challenge. But not right now. Right now, he had more pressing matters.

The five, after besting the aliens, decide to form a crime fighting team called the Teen Titans, a team dedicated to fighting crime within this city. He was not impressed with their actions. He had seen recordings of their fights with criminals and saw how they only capture them and not kill them. He disapproved immensely with their way of doing things. They should have killed the criminals instead of letting them have a chance to escape and do their crimes again. He had seen the track record of some of the villains. They always escaped and continued their crime sprees and all these "heroes" do is capture them again and again, only for the same thing to happen all over again. He was disgusted with this. If it was up to him, he would kill nearly all of them, put an example for others on what would happen if they break the law. Of course, there were a few that agreed with him and did it this way. Something that he approved of. If these criminals constantly did their crimes despite chances of redemption, then they should have die as there was no redemption for them. He knew, thought that this will end up being disagreed on with the heroes of this dimension and will most likely result in his imprisonment or, more likely, his destruction if he tried to do things his way. For now, he would stay in the shadows, only going out when necessary…or when he was bored. And luck would have it, a robbery was in place and the titans were too busy to deal with it as they were dealing with other crimes. Deciding it was time to go out again, he marching to his ground bridge when he realized something.

If he killed them, the titans would investigate. While he hid his tracks well, it was a matter of time before they found him and destroy him. Which would inevitably happen, as this robin was trained by Batman, the world's greatest detective. But if he keeps them alive, they would assume he was a vigilante hero that wanted to remain hidden from the public eye. They would also assume he is an ally and when they inevitably meet, they will treat him like a friend. So after weighing the pros and cons, Soundwave decided as he went into the ground bridge.


Somewhere else


"C'mon, Frank! We got to go!" Yelled a man in a ski mask. He was yelling at his partner as they were about to get in their getaway car with the loot they stole from a jewelry store. Unfortunately, his partner-in-crime decided to threaten the old man running the store. "Do that later, we got to go before those new heroes show up!" His partner glared at him in response before running out of the store. The two then entered their car and quickly drove away from the store. Seeing that the store was out of eye-sight and no cops in sight, the man sighed in relief and glared at his partner. "What's up with you!? You could have got us and sent to jail!" The other man glared at his partner while driving.

"What's up with you!? You're all spooked out by getting caught by teenagers. TEENAGERS!" Yelled the man as he drove.

"Yeah. Teenagers that have weird powers. Plus, that kid the Bat trained his with them. That should be enough to worry even you." Said the other man.

"Whatever, we got away and that's what matters." Said the driver as he went back to driving. The other criminal was about to argue with him again, when a car crashed into them, causing them to swirl out of control. The driver attempted to regain control to no avail. The car ended up to crashing into a wall. The two crooks groaned as they held their heads, a margarine setting in. "Okay. Whoever did that, is gonna die." Said the driver as he got out and walked up to the car that crashed into them, pulling his gun out in the process. The other crook got out and walked with the man, wanting payback as well. As soon as the two were close to the car, did it do something that they never suspected it to do. It started to spit itself apart in the middle, its front turning back on itself as its nose split. One side went backwards the other forwards. Quickly arms and legs were formed, the creature humped in its back as it continued to transform, Parts continually moving about. It then stood up straight as its torso and chest continued to form, its head suddenly appearing out of its body. Eventually, the two men met face-to-visor with Soundwave, the Decepticon communications specialist. The two men stepped back in fear as the robot took a step toward them.

"Stay back!" Yelled the man with the gun, shooting it at Soundwave. Who wasn't even phased as the bullets bounced off his armor. As soon as the man was out of ammo, Soundwave reached out with his arms and grabbed the two, the men screaming as he did so. The streets were soon filled with screams of terror.


Later


"What happened here?" Aske Beast boy as he saw the two crooks dangling over a lamppost with bags over their heads. The Titans heard about another crime being made in progress in jump city. But unfortunately, they were busy with other crimes within the city. So, they didn't have anyone to spare to deal with it. After they finished with their crimes, they received a call from the police chief that they needed to see something. They got there as soon as possible and the found a broken car and two crooks hanging over a lamppost.

"That's what I was hoping you would know." Said the police chief as he walked to the titans. His body armor was standard issue for jump city police except his issue had several stripes on his shoulders and helmet to signify his rank. "We found these two like this when we got here. This you're doing?"

"No sir." Said Robin. "All of us were too busy with other crimes throughout the city."

"Then who did this?" Asked the police chief as his men managed to get the crooks down. The crooks were about to be taken away when one of the crooks yelled out.

"It was a giant robot! A giant robot came and arrested us!" Yelled the man. Everyone looked at each other for a moment before the police chief ordered the men to be taken away.

"Well, that was interesting." Said the police chief. "If you come across anything about this or find anything related to this, inform me right away."

"Yes sir." Said Robin. The man nodded in satisfaction before leaving with his men.

"So, who did all this?" Asked Cyborg as he surveyed the area.

"Oh! Oh! I know! It was a giant robot piloted by a human. There's some heroes like that right?" Asked Beast boy.

"There are." Confirmed Robin. "But none of them live anywhere near here. Whatever this is, we need to get the bottom of this." With that Robin left the scene of the crime. The other titans looked at each other before following their leader. As they were leaving a cloaked camera was observing them.


Sovereign


Soundwave was looking over the camera that he sent to spy on the titans. It worked out better than he anticipated. Thought they were suspicious of him, they weren't planning to destroy him when they find him or arrest him, which was fine with him. So, long as they weren't actively finding him, he was fine with them searching for him. Right now, he had a job to do, which is finding a way home. He then pulled up another holographic screen which had all his work in dimensional travel and how to get back home. So far, he managed to only figure out a way to use the device without it knocking him out or destroying him. Now, he just had to find his own dimension, triangulate it, and lock the coordinates in the device. Which all would take many years. Something that he was willing to do as he missed his old home. With that, he went to work.
