TP1
As Kup, Hotrod and Hot Shot were repairing the building and the Decepticons were getting ready for an assault; Ultra Magnuswas walking around in his own office! He looked at everything that was in there and the picture that was taken before they left earth to take the Nemesis over. The last pixcture they had of Optimus Prime, with them. He walked over to it and picked it up, as carefully as he could.
In it there was him, Smokescreen, Bumblebee, Arcee, Wheelejack, Bulkhead, Ratchet and the humans. Not only did the others miss the big bot, but hew did as well. But, as a leader, he had to keep his feelings in check. There wasn't anyway he would let his feelings get the best of him. That was something he learned from earth. Along with doing things by the book. He looked at the portrate of Optimus he had on his wall.
The way he was posed with the Starsaber. He gave a slow blink, remembering all the battles they fought together! "Commander Prime! It's still truly an honor to fight along side of you back then. But these days, I don't know if what all I'm doing is right or wrong!? I do know that I'm doing my best to keep things in check. I just think I'm going a bit far." he said to the portrait.
As he said that someone was outside his office hearing this. They saw him looking at the portrait as well. When he walked in it was non other than Wheelejack. He said nothing as he came in. Only watched and listened, knowing what he was feeling. "Um, commander?!" he said
Startled, he turned around and looked to find Wheelejack looking at him. "Yes? What is it soldier?" he asked as he stood at attention.
"First off, chief. We're not even in combat! Second: I don't walways do that stuff. Also! Why not relax like you did those years ago? You were better than this. Even by the book." Wheeljack told him.
"I'm only doing what I know is right. Things change over the years. Even after events happen. For the better." Ultra Magnus said.
"Even I can tell this isn't for the better. Not even I would change like this." he told Magnus.
"Not all of us were loos canons back then. I know you were. As for me; not any." Magnus told him.
"Whatever you say chief. I'm heading beyond the walls. Don't know when I'll be back." he told him. Ultra Magnus looked down and turned around, knowing what he nmean by all that. Before Wheeljack left he turned his head a bit. "Don't forget commander. We all miss him. Even me." he said before he left the room.
"Where are you going soldier?" Magnus asked.
"Don't know right now. I do know that a majority of Cybertron is banned. Probably explore it all instead of being cooped up in here. Even you should know that." he said to Magnus.
"You know the punishment for that. You won't be able to return." Magnus told him.
"That's fine by me. More stuff to repair there than here." he said as he left.
Ultra Magnus hesitated for a bit before looking at the portrait of Optimus Prime. He sighed, looking dowbn, blinking. "I don't know what to do anymore, Optimus!" he exclaimed. "Right after the Quintessons invaded, I went to earth. I explained what had happened to their Gov. and they told me to keep it all a secret. I dion't know if I sould or not!" he said
Smokescreen heard everything as he was near the office. Not knowing everything, he learned more than what Ultra Magnus had wanted him to know.
With Hot Rod, Hot Shot and Kup, they were still doing maintenance on the building that Kup had been repairing over the years. There were a lot of computer monitors in there. Hot Shot looked at them amazed that Kup had all of these.
"How in the world did you get all of these, Kup?" Hot Shot asked him.
"It wasn't easy lad. Had to get them from the base, and be really sneaky to get them. Especially since Magnus had tightend security. The cords were easier, but had to travel below the surface to get to them. Don't ask." Kep told Hot Shot befored he could slightly turn and ask.
Hot Rod came back in. "Try it now Kup! Maybe they're working now." he told him.
Kup went to a computer monitor and tried to activate it, but it looked as if the system was malfunctioning or somethin. "Nothing kid. Can't get the dang thing started." Kup told him. Hot Shot came up and looked at it.
"Let me see this!" he told him, and Kup stood back.
He typed a few buttons and touched a few certain spots on the screen. It was there that the monitor was beginning to get data flowing and get everything up. Kup was amazed when he saw this. Hot Shot still hit a lot of keys and got all the data onto the monitor.
"Is that all you needed, Kup? Or is there anymore?" he asked as he finished.
"Amazing! Simply amazin. How'd you even do this? I thought you were only a racer. Nothing more than a speed demon. From this...it's surprised me!" Kup told him.
"Well ever since I was put onto a station. I told em I was a racer; but they stuck me on a computer monitor to keep a watch. After all. Never been promoted from a scout." he told him.
"Same here. Always needing to watch out for anything." Hot Rod told them.
"You both have broken a lot of rules though. Even if they are rediculous. I'm still a Seargent, but I don't want a promotion. I'm fine with that." he told looked at each other weird then at him weird. "Don't give me that look, I know where I need to be and so do you. Come on you two. Let's get this place running." he told them.
They resumed their work on the building. Back with the Decepticons; both Starscream and Shockwave arrived at the destination point. Right where The Nemasis was at. As starscream transformed the three cubes flew off of causght the first two and awaited for the third one to hit his head. Right before it did another hand causght it. Starscream looked right at Shockwave as he had caught it.
"Do not damage the energon cubes. These are vital for us. But transport more next time." he told Starscream, and walked off after giving him the third cube.
Starscream mumbled a bit right before he followed. "Pfft! How can I transport more if there isn't enough room on me?" he asked.
"What you ask is illogical." he told him. Starscream growled a bit as they went in.
Megatron was at the controlls, looking them over. Upon dseeon the pannels covered with rust he thought the ship wouldn't function properly. That was when Starscream and Shockwave came in. He turned around and looked at them.
"Very good Shcokwave! I entrust you know what to do?! As you always should. Tell me what you think so far. As to what needs to be done for this to happen." Megatron said. Shockwave went on over to the pannel and began to look it over. Starscream, however, had a very shocked look on his face.
"You can't be serious? I thought you knew what you were doing the whole time. You said...""I know what I said. I need Shockwave here since he's the scientific expert. He knows what all needs to be done. As do I. Still it's good to have an expert on this." he said after he interrupted Starscream and looked at Shockwave as he finished.
"I deem this logical! What you need done will be done. This ship will operate; but will still need repairs." Shockwave told Megatron.
"Right from the vocal processors. You heard him, Starscream! Get to work and put that cube in the engine." Megatron ordered.
"Ugh, fine." Starscream said. He walked straight to the engine and pushed the cube in. "Owell! We tried. Now let's get..." that's when he heard a thud as he began to walk away. He turned back around and saw the blue energon flow through the pipes. The entire ship was reactivated as the screens came back on. Starscream came back into the bridge. "Why bring more than one cube when it took that one cube to actually power the ship?" Starscream asked.
"Because Starscream! It's only a matter of time until that one cube runs out of power. Now then, SHOCKWAVE!" Megatron stated as he looked at him from the corner of his eye. They saw him at the computer terminal as he was hitting some buttons. He had the monitor up and running and looked through the data banks. "Anything there?" he asked.
"We'll be lucky enough, my leige, if we do find any footage of what happened." Shockwave said.
Megatron had a scowel on his face. "Beg your pardon master. But, what is it that you're looking for?" Starscream asked.
"The only Decepticon that knows how to actually be stealthy. The one that can help to bring down the Autobots when we attack." Mgatron told him.
"Lord Megatron! I found something." Shockwave told him. He stood aside and played the feed. They all saw Soundwave in front of one spacebridge.
"Him? Soundwave? He's been missing for years. How could we possibly..." they saw another spacebridge open behind Soundwave and continued watching as he had vanished and so did both bridges.
"So it seems as if Soundwave has vanished. Possibly desintigrated." Megatron assumed.
"Negative my leige!" Shockwave exclaimed as he hit a few buttons. "From what I saw, he more than likely was transported to an alternate universe. Or a different dimention." he hit one last button and a radar was activated.
"What are you doing? If you think you can possibly pinpoint his location. I heavily doubt..." Starscream was cut off as soon as he heard a faint bleeping noise. Megatron looked and they all saw a very faint blip on the monitor. "There's no way! That has to be faulty. Possibly even malfunctioning." Starscream said.
"Shockwave!" Megatron exclaimed.
"That has got to be him. No one else could be on board the ship. I had the ship to analyze further. This is where we are and what we got. This is Soundwave." Shockwave told them.
"Then how are we going to get to him? It's not like we have two..." "Actually Starscream; we do." Shockwave said interrupting him. They looked at him. "The Autobots have a spcebridge. I have also used a new recon drone to spy on them." Shockwave told them.
"Still full of surprises, Shocckwave. How do you do it!" Megatron exclaimed.
"Then how come we didn't see any of that in his lab? I know I've been there over the years, before I joined the Autobots in their city. But I've never seen another dorn." Starscream stated.
"That's because I worked in secret on the drone. Not too long after you left, I sent the drone in." he stated.
"That doesn't explain where the drone is and why I wasn't told." Starscream said to him.
"One: My drone is back in the lab; undergoing maintenance. Two: I wouldn't be able to trust you if they interrogated you. You've become weak ever since the invasion from the Quintessons." Shockwave told him.
"Let's get back to the subject at hand. We need to get Soundwave the same way he went in." Megatron told them.
"Is that even possible?" Starscream asked.
"It is Starscream! But how to get out is another thing." Shockwave told him.
"How are we to get the two spacebridges activated though? I don't see how." he told them.
"Head back to the Autobots base and activate it at these coordiates. Erase the history and get back here." Megatron told him in an order.
"As you say, my leige." Starscream went to the Autobots base and snuck around to get to the control panel. He checked to see if anyone was around. It was all clear and he set the coordinates. Before he could activate it his comlink went off. "Yes?" he asked.
"Change of plans, Starscream. Head back immediately. Shockwave has another way to activate it." Megatron ordered.
"Eerrr! All that work to sneak in here and for what?" he says and heads out grumbling. What he didn't notice was Shockwaves drone was inside where he was. It glided down to the panel and hacked into it. Starscream got back and went into the bridge. "Why am I here and what are the change of plans?" he asked.
Before he knew it, a spacebridge opened behind him. He looked and saw it; a surprised look on his face. "I contacted my drone and told it what to do. You'll be going in to get Soundwave." Shockwave told him.
"Then why didn't you do that from the start?" Starscream asked.
"The rest of the maintinence could wait." Shockwave told him and activated the other spacebridge. The other one opened in front of Starscream and he screamed. Before long, he was in the other dimention. Known as the shadowzone.
He was creeped out by te way it looked. "This place looks horrifying. Right now all I need to do is find..." he gasped as he saw Soundwave. Down on the ground, deactivated. Laserbeak was still on his chest. He tapped his screen visor a few times and waved in front of it. "Hello? Soundwave? Anyone home? Well, at least I found you. Now to get out of this..." that was when another spacebridge opened. "How convenient." he stated and picked up Soundwave. The three of them exited the shadowzone and the bridge closed.
As soon as Megatron saw the state Soundwave was in, he was shocked. Completely low on energon, in a stasis mode. "How is he Shockwave?" he asked. Shockwave looked him over.
"He's in a critical form of stasis. We'll have to get him back to the lab, for immediate repairs." he told Megatron.
"Thn do it swiftly. We need to move, before anyone suspects anything." he ordered.
"Not to worry my leige. My drone has wiped all history of what happened and is back at the lab." he informed Megatron.
"Then let's get out of here. I need to report back to the Autobots. They still suspect nothing." Starscream told them. He heard a charging sound and looked to see Megatron aiming his canon at him.
"Then I'll be sure to finsh this. Since you can break under pressure." Megatron said as he was about to blast him.
"BUT MASTER! I HAVE TRUE INTENTIONS. I;VE COME ALL THIS WAY..." "Even if you have. Shockwave is right, however. You will break under interrogation." he said as he interrupted Starscream. He still charged his cannon till he put it down. Starscream looked confused and shocked. "Since you have come all this way with out anyone knowing. I'll spare your life; for now. But I will extinguish your spark if you mess anything up. That I guarentee." he said and walked off.
Starscream was relieved. That was until Shockwave put Soundwave onto his back. "Since you're a flyer. You'll need to carry him. I would be too suspicious." he said unto Starscream and departed as well. Starscream carried the other two energon cubes back to Shockwave's lab.
Soundwave was hooked up to a cube. Shockwave had finished with maintenance on his drone. His next experiment was nearly finished.
"Why is it taking so long? You have a scientific mind." Starscream said.
"Even with this mind, things still take time." Shockwave plugged his next experiment up to the cube. His drone, which had a yellow body and looked like a buzzard, went up to Soundwave. It looked at him. "All I have to do is maintinence on his body as well." Shockwave said.
"Then I'll be waiting." Starscream said.
"Not so fast!" Starscream stopped and looked at him. "I need you to get me the parts I need to fix him." Shockwave told him what all he needed.
Starscream went off and came back with all the parts. "I hope you're happy. Was very difficult to get these parts." he said.
"Put them over there." Shockwave said, motioning to the spot. Starscream put them there and looked at Soundwave. Seeing him hooked up reminded him of how Megatron was; when he plucked the dark energon shard from his body.
"How long till we know anything?" Starscream asked.
"He'll be up and running soon. But first..." Shockwave turned around, holding a tool. "We have to operate."
They began putting new parts on him. Removing some and rearranging them as well. A bigger chest piece was put on him, after removing the old one. New arms were put on him and new legs went over his old ones. Four big wheels were put on him as well. It took a while but Soundwave was repaired.
"Now's the time for the final piece." Shockwave stated as he went to get something.
"What else could we possibly need? Other than a way to reactivate him. I highly doubt you have something like that." Starscream said and looked at Shockwave as he came back in. What he had in his hand was a power cord; but it didn't look like an ordinary one. "What is that?" he asked.
"A neural compex cord. Not many of these are around. I was lucky enough to find one. This'll help to reactivate him." Shockwave stated as he plugged it into Soundwave's body. He walked over to a switch and grabbed it. "Stand back." he ordered. Starscream remained away from Soundwave and Shockwave pulled the switch.
Electricity pulsed directly into Soundwave. His body jerked quite a bit. Not too long after Shockwave turned off the power. They went up to him as his visor was coming back on. Soundwave activated and sat up. He looked around and saw the lab. That was till he saw Shockwave and Starscream.
"It's nice to have you back, Soudwave!" Shockwave exclaimed.
"Indeed it is." another voice said. They all looked and saw Megatron come up.
"Master! Look here! See? Soundwave is up and operational." Starscream told him.
"So it appears. I hope he's ready for the field. For what we're about to do. Unless is time in stasis did anyting to him." Megatron stated.
"His time in stasis had no effects on him. Even if it did, the repairs we made would make any errors corrected." Shockwave stated.
"I hope so Dr." Megatron said as he walked around. As he did the little yellow drone flew to Soundwave and looked at him. As if analyzing him.
"What is your drone called? You never said." Starscream asked.
"His name is, Buzzsaw." Shockwave answered as he worked on Laserbeak.
Buzzsaw and Soundwave looked at each other, until Buzzsaw pecked his new chest piece a few times. After he did it converted and went into it. Sounwave's chest closed. Starscream and Megatron looked shocked at this. Not even expecting this.
"How is that even possible?" Megatron asked.
"Soundwave upgraded." Soundwave said. That gave them another shock. To learn that Soundwave spoke.
"I used another batch of Synthetic energon to repair anything else. Soundwave should be fine." Shockwave stated.
"Then we're closer than before." Megatron stated.
