So here is the second chapter! I've gone over the last one and seen some of the things I didn't like. Hopefully I'll spend more time proof reading this one. The first I was so giddy because it's the first multi-chapter story I've made.

Disclaimer: I don't own crap except for the OC.

Soundwave observed the situation and considered the possibilities. The Autobots had arrived and there was little to no chance of recapturing the area without sever damage to himself. Megatron, however, would not be pleased if he returned without a successful report. And no one liked being the object to incur Megatron's wrath.

To his left his senses detected slow movement. On further investigation, he saw it was Ravage that was limping back to him. Anger overtook his circuits. Who dared harm one of his minions? A short distance behind Ravage he saw the silver Autobot racing toward him. Soundwave, dodging the Autobot and NEST forces' fire and picking up Ravage, deposited the metal cat back inside his special compartment within Soundwave's chest plates.

Sideswipe, seeing Soundwave's action, skidded to a halt and ejected Sonya out of the passenger's seat.

"Hey girlie, see that Camaro over there?" Looking to the mass of mechs, Sonya sighted the big machine that had a young man next to him.

"Yeah, I see him."

"Good. Go over there and wait." She looked from her spot on the ground to the silver car. "But what about you? You're not seriously going to..." "You bet I am." Looking at him and then getting up, she brushed herself off. "Who are you? Hell, what are you?"

"Call me Sideswipe. And I'm an Autobot."

With that, he tore off towards the other machine. "My God," Sonya mumbled to herself as she palmed her forehead. "What the hell am I into now?"

Remembering what she was supposed to be doing, she started running towards the group of armed humans and the Autobots.

Lennox and Epps stood together as they fired on the enemy target. Lennox was the first to notice the girl running towards them. "Hey Epps, who is that kid?" Epps looked away from his target while still shooting to check out the girl. "Not a clue. What should we do?" Bumblebee, who was standing behind them, answered their question after listening to Sideswipe's comm. "Sideswipe saved her from Ravage. He sent her over here."

Running towards the group, I looked back to see Sideswipe and the big blue and red semi going at it with the big baddie. And for a moment, I saw the thing meet me in the eyes. I stopped and stared at the red glowing orbs. "Wow…" I was pulled back to reality as the young man that had been standing next to the Camaro coming towards me.

A last ditch attempt. That was the only thing that he could do to come back and still be in Megatron's good graces. And to do that, once looking at the two humans, he had formed his plan. Forcing Sideswipe and Prime backwards, Soundwave planted his servos on the two Autobots' shoulders and rocketed over them. Firing towards the NEST operatives and the other Autobot scum, he scooped up the two little organics that were apart from the others and transformed, stuffing Sam and Sonya inside the alien cockpit. Ironhide and Bee were only a few clicks behind. They latched on to his alt mode, but once turning on his over drive, Soundwave shook them off.

And with that, the Decepticon headed at breakneck speed to the skies for the cover of the clouds.

Update:

"Sir? I've got some good news and some really bad news."

Keller looked at the phone that he had on speaker phone.

"So what is the good news?"

Will Lennox, who was standing next to an infuriated Ironhide, thought about how he could make this situation come out where he wouldn't get too much hell.

"Well, we managed to push the Decepticons out of the area without them getting to the energon."

Keller waited for a moment before asking the inevitable.

"And what is the really bad news?"

Lennox took a breath.

"Sam and another human, a young woman, were taken by Soundwave. We couldn't follow them."

Keller looked back at the phone, and then let loose a long sigh.

"Well Mr. Lennox, it seems we've both got one hell of a situation on our hands, now don't we?"

Sideswipe and Optimus stood apart from the others for a while. "Why did you bring her back here?"

Sideswipe flinched away from Optimus' tone. "I thought she'd be safe. Ravage looked like he was ready to do a real number on her."

Optimus couldn't help but agree to that logic. He knew what kind of mechs the Decepticons were, particularly with their aversion to humans. There was no telling what would've happened to the girl had Sideswipe left her to Ravage. But now that she and Sam, the boy who had destroyed Megatron the first time around, were being held by the Decepticons, she probably would've been better off with Ravage.

Decepticons, throughout their history of existence, were not known for mercy.

Or in Sam's case, pardon for past injuries. Especially Megatron, who had wrote the book on Decepticon manners.

The humans might as well have been dead.

Shorter than the last one, but I hope still as good. Please tell me what you think so I can improve!
