As I sit, looking down on the Vegas strip, (yes, I'm in Vegas!) I think about Soundwave and how he'll be back.

Also, I can't finish this at home, so I'm finishing this here.


"Attention all Autofans! I have good news!" Sigma's voice sounded over the intercom.

"We've located Soundwave and detained him! He'll be shipped up to the Main Autofan Base tomorrow morning!" A cheer went through the Autofans. They had been searching for that crazy, yet pimped out creature since yesterday, in fear he would be a bad influence on their OCs and convince them to rebel against their creators.

Amid all the high fiving and cheers, one young male and his OC snuck off behind a few crates.

The young male was actually a Deceptifan who went by Ratt. What he lacked in strength, speed, intelligence and bravery, he made up for in cunning and trickery. His OC Morph was a master shapeshifter. Not only could she transform into a vehicle, she could mimic the appearance of any Transformer, including canons. She and her creator were considerably low on the pecking order of the Deceptifans because they weren't any good at fighting, but if she and Ratt pulled this off, they'd get promoted for sure.

"Ratt signing in, Lady Nijira." Ratt squeaked into his wrist communicator. "I've discovered where the Autojerks are keeping Soundwave."

"Well, good for you, Ratt." Nijira sneered. "Now, wait there while we fetch the old bot. Keep a low profile, mind you. And DON'T DO ANYTHING STUPID." Blip…

Ratt sighed. "Geez, she's so mean all the time, eh Morph?"

Morph nodded. "Hey, I've got an idea. If the Autobots were proclaimed heroes because they didn't follow orders, why not us?"

Ratt blinked. "They're canons, Morph." He explained. "They can get away with things we can't."

"I think it's worth a shot, don't you?"

"Well…"

Half an hour later…

Morph and Ratt were fleeing from Prowl, Ratchet and Blukhead, and Ratt was clutching the small tape deck that was Soundwave. They had found him in an Anti Transforming cell, busted him out, alerted the guards and were nearly blasted to tiny bits. But they had only got out with minor injuries, which was good.

"Wow, you were right, Morph!" Ratt cried, jumping into Morph's alt mode as she drove off.

"What did I tell you?" Morph said, sounding pleased with herself.

"I can't wait until Nijira hears what we did." Ratt said, excited at the possibilities.

"WHAT THE PITSLAG WAS THAT ABOUT, YOU IDIOTS?!"

Nijira was chewing out the two unfortunate fans. She didn't appreciate their idiotic antics at the Autofan base and she expressed her anger the only way she knew how. By yelling loud and hard enough that she was in danger of coughing up a lung.

"We-we're sorry, ma'am, but we got Soundwave outta there…" Ratt muttered, holding up the snoozing, prone cassette player.

Nijira blinked, for once at a lose for words. "You mean to tell me…" she began, "that YOU TWO IDIOTS actually broke Soundwave out of the Autofan base and came back in one piece?"

The pair exchanged a glance. "Erm…yes?"

"Hmmm…Well, I'll commend you on that, but you aren't out of the woods yet." Nijira grumbled, as Ratt handed the cassette player to the Deceptifan leader. "Y'know, I think this is worthy of a promotion. Maybe not a huge one, but one at least."

-

Sigma was sipping her daily cup of coffee, when Shatter stalked into her room.

Sigma looked up. "Shatter, where have you been? You've missed at least four episodes."

Shatter lapped at her paws. "I've been around. Speaking of which, a human followed me home. Can I keep her?"

Sigma set down the mug. "A human followed you home? Come now, what human would follow YOU…" She stopped, then slapped her forehead. "Of course. SARI."

-

"Hey Bee!" Sari trotted up to the Autobot base…only to meet hordes of screaming fangirls. "WHAT THE…"

"Uh, hey Sari! Where ya been?" Bee greeted her, struggling against the tide of fans.

"Uh, vacation?" Sari scoffed. "Didn't you get my note?"

"What note?"

"The one I left on your door a few weeks ago?"

"Oh…THAT NOTE…riiight…" Bee replied, sweatdropping. In actuality, Bee hadn't seen a note on their door, and Sari had been squealing about this vacation for weeks. How could he forget?!

"Bee, what's with all the screaming girls?!" Sari shouted over the din, as the fans hoisted her on their shoulders.

"Long story. I'll explain it to you in a second."

-

"So let me get this straight...All these people are your FANGIRLS?" Sari was having a hard time believing what she was hearing. She knew the Autobots were popular, but she never expected them to be THIS popular.

"That's right, missy miss." Sigma replied. "We'll be here a while, so you might want to get used to it."

-

Soundwave had been reactivated, and was now examining the humans who now stood before him.

"Welcome, Soundwave." Nijira said in a respectful tone. "I am…"

"An inferior fleshling who doesn't deserve my time or attention." Soundwave finished in his monotonous voice, which made the fans melt into puddles of glee. "Machines are superior, humans are inferior."

Nijira deadpanned. NO ONE had ever dared to interrupt her while she was talking…and got away with it. "Ghost…get Rhyme and her pansy OC Reason on the line." She hissed into her communicator.

"Is that really neccesary, Lady Nijira?" Ghost asked calmly. "I mean, they're a bit much for Soundwave to handle..."

"FINE, GHOST, YOU'LL have to straighten him out!" Nijira snarled, "If you can't straighten out Soundwave's behavior with some of your PURE REASON or some SWEET RHYMES, I'll have those two do it for you!"

Ghost gulped. Rhyme and Reason were seldom used, due to their…abilities that made even Ghost shudder in fear. If Nijira wanted to straighten this guy out, it was up to Ghost to make sure he survived in one piece. After all, she would never let anything happen to a canon.

-

Contained in a cell that was used for unruly canon characters, Soundwave looked up as a white haired female fleshling entered the room with another Decepticon, this one almost transparent.

"What do you want, fleshling?" Soundwave asked.

"I come bearing greetings from Lady Nijira." Ghost began, but Soundwave interrupted yet again.

"Humph. I care not for you humans or your frivolous ways."

"Have it your way, Lord Soundwave." Ghost replied, shrugging. "But I just came to tell you about how our particular group worships you like a god."

"Continue. You have peaked my interests." Soundwave insisted.

"Alright. You claim machines are superior to humans, correct? Well, you're only half right. Only a few CHOSEN machines are worthy to rule over the humans. That's you and Megatron's group of Decepticons. The others are meant to serve them and us alike, for they aren't worthy."

Silence, then, "That sounds logical. Very well, human. I will believe that…for now."

-

"I don't bloody believe it…" Nijira rubbed her forehead. "I should start calling you 'Silvertongue' from now on, Ghost."

Ghost sweatdropped. "Erm, it won't be necessary, Lady Nijira. I'm just happy to do my part.

CRASH.

Screams emitted from the west wing of the Deceptifan base. "LADY NIJIRA!" screeched a fangirl. "Soundwave just called BlackArachnia 'inferior' because she's part organic! HEAD FOR THE HILLS! WE'RE DOOMED!"

Nijira deadpanned. "Ghost, if you please?"

"Gladly, Lady Nijira."


Ok, Soundwave's alt mode certainly surprised me. I loved it anyway. XD

Sorry Sari's not in this fic more. I'm not good at making her snarky.
