Chapter 5: Relief

Knock Out was back in the med bay finishing up with Starscream. Starscream told him everything that had happened so far which interested Knock Out. Breakdown however, wasn't really into it anymore. Just then, Soundwave came in carrying a now passed out Shockwave by putting his arm around Shockwave, and putting Shockwave's arm around him. Starscream, Knock Out and Breakdown were shocked.

"Soundwave what did you do?" Starscream asked seeing the beat up Shockwave.

"I got payback from him tearing my back up!" Soundwave said putting Shockwave on a medical bed. "He passed out just a few seconds ago."

"You three really need to stay away from each other. I can't keep on fixing you guys up." Knock Out said putting his claws on hips.

"Man you beat him harder than I thought!" Breakdown said.

"Come on you guys, I'll work on Shockwave later, right now lets let him rest." Knock Out said. All of them exited the room. Shockwave was laying on one of his sides and had his back towards the wall. Outside the room, Starscream and Soundwave spoke.

"Man, what a week!" Starscream said.

"Yeah, hopefully it's all over." Soundwave said.

"So, are we considered victorious?" Starscream asked.

"Well, half and half! Shockwave did get his revenge in!" Soundwave said.

"So, how was that massage?" Starscream smirked.

"Shut up!" Soundwave playfully shoved Starscream.

"Whoa, whoa, hold on! I think our personalities have changed a bit. Usually, I'm giving commands, smacking drones, and possibly getting my aft handed to me by Megatron. And then there is you. You're supposed to be silent, mysterious...and not very friendly." Starscream said. "Who are you?"

"Your father!"

"WHAT?"

"Kidding, but I have a life too. I may be loyal to Megatron, but even I need to relax for a while. Megatron hadn't gave me many things to do this week. And now I just feel so relaxed. This must be how the Autobots feel." Soundwave said leaning against a wall.

Just then Megatron appeared at one end of the hallway. He smirked when he saw them.

"Uh, Starscream back to how we usually act. Start talking!" Soundwave whispered and tried to stay silent.

"Uh, I'm telling you, we had better movies on Cybertron than on this rotton planet." Starscream said as Megatron came closer and closer.

Soundwave played a random recording.

"I agree!" A recording of Megatron said from some point in the past.

At this point, Megatron was now right beind the seekers grinning.

"Starscream, Soundwave, where is Shockwave?" Megatron asked.

His voice made Starscream literally jump into Soundwave's arms like Scooby-Doo. Megatron gave him a confused look.

"Starscream, stop fooling around and answer my question!" Megatron said getting quickly annoyed.

"Uh, in the med-bay!" Starscream said. "Why?"

"Why? I need those data pads. Soundwave are they still in your room?"

Soundwave nodded.

"Then why are you not in there?" Megatron asked.

"Sorry sir, Shockwave had a little accident. He badly damaged but he should be out later today...hopefully." Starscream said tapping his claws together.

Megatron grinned. He knew them all too well.

"Don't take me for a fool Starscream!" Megatron said grabbing Starscream's head. "I know everything that went on!"

"Are we in trouble?" Starscream asked as Megatron let go.

"No, but I will see to it that Shockwave is fully funtional by the time I return to see him" Megatron said before turning his back to them. He began a long lecture about how important it is to have as much help as they could get to beat the Autobots.

Little did Megatron know, Starscream had begun mocking him. First, Starscream began repeatedly flipping him off and even putting his middle claws close to the back of Megatron's head. Then, Starscream then pretended to punch and claw Megatron. Then pretended to fire off his rockets. Finally he cursed him silently in cybertronian. As much as Soundwave was loyal to Megatron, even he had to laugh his aft off at Starscream's taunting. However, Megatron turned back around just in time to see Starscream pretending to claw him. Megatron raised an optic-brow.

"What? I'm just trying to scratch my back!" Starscream said moving his claws to his back and scratched. Megatron noticed Soundwave was twitching his head a bit trying not to laugh.

"What is your malfuntions? Have you been drinking the high-grade lately?" Megatron asked.

"No...mabye...why?" Starscream said making a grin so big not even the producers of Transformers Prime could think of it!

Megatron looked confused but walked away without another word. Once Megatron disappeared, Soundwave collasped with laughter and so did Starscream who fell on on top of him. It looked like they were wrestling but they were only laughing. Meanwhile, Shockwave had woken up just a few seconds ago. He felt cold, tired...lonely. He felt around his body and tried not to press on his dents that Soundwave had given him. He rolled onto his back and put his hands on top of him. He found that nearly every move he made on the berth would hurt a lot. Just then, Starscream and Soundwave walked in to check up on him.

"Shockwave you okay?" Starscream asked.

Shockwave turned his head to him and held out a hand! Starscream raised an optic-brow.

"I'm sorry!" Shockwave said weakly.

Starscream smiled and glady shook Shockwave's hand.

"Apology accepted!" Starscream said.

"I'll get Knock Out and tell him you're awake!" Soundwave said rushing out.

Finally, later that day, Shockwave had been fully repaired and looked good as new. He, Starscream and Soundwave had developed a friendship and talked often. Shockwave often helped Soundwave with data pads, watched Starscream mock Megatron, and even helped out the eradicons when they needed it. He wasn't mean to them like most people were. The next day, history repeated itself, except with a few changes. Soundwave was once again in a room with a few other drones typing on his favorite computer to do research on. It was quiet, all that could be heard was the sound of claws tapping on buttons. The door of the room opened to reveal Shockwave. The drones looked at him. However, Shockwave didn't tell them to get out. He walked over to Soundwave who heard him come in. Shockwave, again, came up behind him and wrapped his claws on Soundwave's shoulders. This time, Soundwave didn't tense up.

"So Soundwave, how about a massage, for real this time!" Shockwave said gently clawing the top of Soundwave's shoulders.

"Yes, I would like that!" Soundwave said and Shockwave proceeded to do so.

The End!
