After being told all about the way things were Radiohead was then being trained Soundwave on how to work the monitors, Radiohead and Soundwave worked closely and when Soundwave had finally passed all his information onto Radiohead he was then taken in by Techsound who taught him some medical procedures that would take care of most wounds. One day the decepticons decided they needed energon so they headed out and arrived at an oil refinery. The decepticons quickly entered it, intent on getting as much oil as they could. Afew minutes later the autobots arrived. Techsound radioed the information to Megatron, who then sent out Thundercracker and Soundwaves' cassetticon Rumble out to try to at least delay the autobots from ruining their looting trip. The decepticons inside the oil refinery sped up, and the sounds of battle were heard outside. Blasters sounded and the sound of metal hitting meta echoed inside. The autobots surged in after wounding the three cons that had been outside. The autobots began to fire and the decepticons fled, their comrades momentarily forgotten. As the cons arrived at their base after following Megatrons orders Soundwave replayed the battle in his head.
"Sir, you know we were winning. Why did you tell us to reteat?"
"We were not winning!" Megatron hissed.
"Yes we were. We had two of their autobots hostage, including their second in command Prowl."
"Yeah and that stupid yellow minibot Optimus favors so much!" Starscream threw in.
"I am your leader and what I say you do!" Megatron replied glareing at the two cons that had dared to question his commands.
"We need to get the others too sir." Soundwave reminded him.
"Yes we do. Decepticons! Transform and get those horrible hunks of scrap metal that can't fight a few measley autobots!"
When they arrived they saw their friends all on the ground, spread out. Thundercracker had part of his chest piece missing, his spark was seen, a pulsing blue orb. Techsound lay near the door, her right arm blown completely off, her left receptor damaged, a few wires sparked from the open hole. Rumble lay face down, a shot to the middle of his back. The first thing the online decepticons was reboot their comrades. The first thing Techsound said was, "You have got to be kidding me! My arm! I swear Bluestreak is a dead bot!"
"Bluestreak did that to you?" Radiohead asked her.
"Yeah. He's obsessed with guns, this time he had a big one."
"Then who damaged your receptor?"
"Oh that was Sunstreakers doing." She smiled, "He didn't fufil his threat. That means it's my turn to try and kill him." She stated her smile turning into a full blown grin. She got up and began searching for pieces of her arm. "Radiohead you'll have to repair them until I have repaired my arm fully."
"Okay."
~2 hours later~
The decepticons were fully functional again and they were at the base, Megatron already planning to go and steal more energy.
"Count me out. My receptor still isn't fully functional." Techsound told him.
"Wah you poor femme. One little scratch and you can't do anything." Starscream mocked.
"Stop talking about yourself like that Starscream." Techsound retorted angrily.
"Techsound as leader of the decepticons I command you go." Megatron told her.
"Maybe I should join the autobots." She mumbled.
"What did you say Techsound?" Megatron asked her.
"Oh nothing Lord Megatron." She told him sweetly.
"You are not serious." Radiohead looked down at the autobot base and then Megatron.
"Yes I am. So you and Techsound get your afts down there."
"It's only temporary." Techsound muttered more to herself than Radiohead.
"What is the plan again?"
"You pretend you don't want to be decepticons anymore and join the autobots. Gain their trust then steal their energon and data on all of their weaknesses." Megatron told them. Techsound and Radiohead then climbed down the hill and approached the autobot base.
The two decepticons came up to the base but were stopped as they were surrounded by autobots, who were pointing their weapons straight at the two of them.
"What are you doing here decepticreeps?" Cliffjumper asked them harshly.
"We don't want to be decepticons anymore." Techsound told him softly.
"Yeah right!" Ironhide laughed.
"What if they are telling the truth?" Optimus wondered aloud. As always, the most forgiving bot.
"Why would they come in a pair?" Smokescreen pondered.
"And they have their weapons with them!" Cliffjumper added.
"Because it's safer to travel in a pair." Techsound told them.
"We think Megatron has finally lost it." Radiohead told them .
"You think he just lost it?" Bumblebee asked them wide eyed.
"We have our weapons in case Megatron sent one of his seekers to try and destroy us." Techsound sighed.
"She does have a point." Perceptor told them, but when he was elbowed hard in the stomach by Sideswipe he shut up.
"I think we should give them a chance. Bit id they betray us, there will be no mercy." Optimus told the autobots.
"Fine." That word was grumbled from the mouths of all the autobots.
"You two have to get rid of your decepticon symbols and put on autobot ones." Optimus told the two new autobots.
"Sure." Techsound took off her decepticon symbol and tossed it aside, she took the autobot symbol that Wheeljack had in his hand. She looked at him throughly, something about him seemed oddly familiar but Techsound got rid of the thought. Radiohead did the same, though not as quickly.
"Nice look Radiohead. It suits you well." She told him smiling.
"Shut up Tekkie."
"Don't call me that ever again." She growled.
"Or what? You'll throw a temper tantrum?"
"Screw you." She replied. Optimus interrupted them and told them to follow him inside.
"You'll both stay in one room until we can trust you two again." He told them, almost apologetically.
Techsound and Radiohead sat at a table in the rec room as far away as possible from the other bots. "Don't you think we should be talking to them and trying to gain their trust?" Techsound asked Radiohead quietly.
"No. They will get extra suspicious if we just all of a sudden throw ourselves into the conversations." He replied then took a sip of energon.
"Can I have a sip of your high grade?"
"No. You're to young Techsound."
"You suck you know that." Techsound told him pouting.
"I know I do." He smiled. The other autobots stared at them for a minute then resumed their conversation. "What are we gonna do about the decepticreeps?" Ironhide asked the others.
"We need to keep a close eye on those two." Prowl mused.
"So at least one autobot with them at all times?" Bumblebee asked him.
"Yes." Prowl replied.
"I guess I could go first." Bumblebee volunteered, the others stared at him as if he was crazy. Bumblebee walked toward the table and sat near Techsound. "Hi! I'm Bumblebee!" Bumblebee smiled warmly.
"Um........Hi. I'm Techsound." She scooted closer to Radiohead, fearing the yellow beetle.
"I'm Radiohead." Radiohead glared at Bumblebee, "Okay introductions are over, go away now."
"Optimus told me to help you guys get settled in so I have to be with you at all times to make sure that happens."
"Does he ever stop smiling?" Techsound whispered to Radiohead.
"I don't know but he's starting to creep me out." He whispered back.
"Me too."
"So do you want me to give you a tour of the place?" Bumblebee asked, his never ending energy was starting to annoy the two spys.
"No thanks." Techsound told him.
"No." Radiohead growled. Bumblebee looked a little sad but quickly his usual smile re-appeared.
"Want to go visit Wheeljack?"
"Um........Who's Wheeljack?" Techsound asked him.
"He's our engineer."
"Well................Okay then. What about you Radiohead?"
"No."
"Fine then." Techsound and Bumblebee stood up and walked out of the room. Radiohead sat there and stared at his cube of energon, worrying about what would happen if they got caught.
"Hey Wheeljack!" Bumblebee shouted as he entered Wheeljacks lab, Techsound closely behind.
"Yeah?!" They heard the muffled reply come from the back of his lab. The scientist was welding something together and didn't look up till Bumblebee poked his head. "What do you want Bee?"
"I wanted you to meet one of our newest members. Techsound."
"Hi." Techsound waved at Wheeljack shyly.
"Hi." He replied, not really careing, he would never truly believe that she and Radiohead had changed sides.
"What are you making?" She asked him.
"Um.....Sorry but I can't tell you at this point in time."
"Oh........Okay then. Sorry." There was a silence for a few minutes until Bumblebee dragged Techsound away telling her that they were going to go see Prowl and Jazz.
Radiohead walked to his shared room and sat down on his recharge berth. "Finally some peace and quiet." He muttered, Hound had decided to make his aquantence and would not stop talking about how nature was beautiful and how all the seasons had their specific changes, and what he liked best about each season. Radiohead had escaped by telling him he needed to recharge. Hound had just smiled and shut up, letting Radiohead sprint out of the room. Bluestreak walked in a few minutes later.
"Hi Radiohead!" He smiled at him, "So how do you like being an autobot so far?"
"It's fine." Radiohead replied gruffly.
"I saw you talking to Hound earlier and I was wondering.....Which season do you like best, and why?"
"Go away Bluestreak." Radiohead mumbled.
"But I have to make sure you get settled in!" Bluestreak protested. Radiohead was mentally killing Megatron because of him he was having to listen to chattering bots all day, who thought he cared greatly about Earth.
Techsound walked into the room, and went to sit down on her recharge berth. But when she sat down inside of sitting on it she floated a few inches above it. "What the?" She cried out shocked as she jumped up and away from the berth.
"Don't be afraid." A disembodied voice told her.
"W-who's there?" She stuttered.
"I'm Mirage." A blue bot appeared where the voice came from.
"Why are you on my berth and invisible?!"
"Because I'm keeping an eye on you and your friend." He told her simply. Radiohead walked in, "What's going on here? Who's that guy?"
"He's keeping an eye on us and his name is Mirage!!" Techsound shrieked, then stomped out of the room. Mirage shrugged,
"Femmes these days."
"Why are you keeping an eye on us?"
"Because Prowl doesn't trust you."
"But why did you have to be invisible?"
"Because if you teo had something had something private to say Prowl would want to know." He replied.
"You know you should count your lucky stars that Tekkie didn't slap you so hard it would cause your cheek to cave in."
"Hmph."
"And I would've helped her too." Radiohead smiled evilly for a second.
"You do that and I'll tell Optimus that you two are spys."
"Yeah right. Why would we spy on you? We're just trying to get away from Megatros evil tyranny." Radiohead walked out of the room to go and find Techsound, they needed to update Megatron. They hadn't talked to him since they had become "loyal" autobots.
"Tekkie, wait up!" Radiohead caught up to the black and red femme.
"What?"
"We need to talk to our favourite leader."
"Oh yes, we do." She agreed. They transformed and sped off miles away before they stopped to contact their true leader, Megatron.
"Lord Megatron." Radiohead greeted him politely.
"Long time no see Radiohead, Techsound."
"We are slowly gaining their trust, but not fully yet." Radiohead told him.
"Do it quicker! I don't have time to wait on your slow afts!"
"Yes sir." Techsound replied.
There was a sound like the crumbling of rocks a few feet behind the two spys.
"Techsound use your sonic scream!"
"On it!" She opened her face mask and used her sonic scream. It was Mirage, he fell down the rocks momentarilly stunned.
"Well lookie here. We have ourselves a stalker." Radiohead commented.
"What are we going to do? He saw and heard us." Techsound stated.
"Thank you Captain Obvious! We're going to mess with his memory circuits, of course." He bent down. "Techsound use your sonic scream in this panel and it will knock him unconcious so there will be no chance of him remembering us messing with his circuitry."
"Okay." She used it as Radiohead directed as soon as she was done she done her face mask pulled back together.
"Why do you wear that face mask all the time? You have a really pretty face."
Techsound felt her face grow warm, "Because it's the only original piece of me left."
"What do you mean?"
"I got wounded so badly I almost died. It tooks 2 years for them to fully repair my body, I remember it so vividly, my old body. I was light blue and pink. They changed my colors to black and red, they added two antenaes to my head and hip vents. All without my consent, but how can I be conceited? I'm alive to this day aren't I?"
"Really?" Radiohead asked her as he finished tampering with Mirage. "Let's hurry, he thinks he took a bad spill." The two hid behind a huge rock, as Mirage came to they rushed toward him.
"Oh my Primus! Mirage are you okay?!" Techsound asked him worridly.
"Y-yeah I think so." He replied picking himself up.
"What happened?" Radiohead asked him.
"I hit a slick patch and lost control, then I woke up here."
"Do we need to call Rachet?" Techsound asked him, placing her hand on her shoulder.
"No, I'm fine. Thanks Techsound."
"No problem Mirage. Anything for a fellow autobot." She smiled. They transformed and headed back to the base. "You should head back to Rachet and make sure you're okay."
"I don't need to."
"Okay." Mirage walked off to the rec room. "That was close." Techsound whipered to Radiohead.
"But we fixed the problem so there is nothing to worry about."
"Tekkie." Radiohead called the femme over his comm link.
"Yes?" Her voice came back a few seconds later.
"I think it's time we execute this plan."
"A-are you sure? I mean we haven't fully gained their trust yet."
"What? Have you become a true autobot now?" Radiohead snerred.
"No! Never! I'm a loyal decepticon!" She shrieked back.
"Yeah, whatever Princess."
"WHAT DID YOU JU-" Radiohead turned off his comm link for a few minutes. When he turned it on the femme was quiet. "You there?"
"You know one of these days I'm gonna kill you."
"We'll see about that Princess."
"Primus, you're more annoying than Starscream."
"And better looking too."
"Yeah right."
"Anyway, like I was saying I think we should put Megatrons plan into action tonight."
"I guess tonight would be the best time." She relented.
"Good. See you at midnight Tekkie." Radiohead shut off his comm link, and Techsound did the same. She rejoined the table she was sitting at with Bumblebee and Sideswipe.
"Well come on Tekkie, get the last of their energon." Radiohead whispered harshly.
"Shhh, I'm going as fast as I can!" She hissed.
"Are you done yet?"
"Yes. Now lets go!" They quickly sprinted down the hallway, all the other autobots were in re-charge or on patrol, it was perfect timing. But Sunstreaker had returned from patrol early, "What are you two doing with all our energon?!" He yelled.
"Sorry to do this to ya buddy." Radiohead told him sarcastically as he shot him straight in the chest. Sunstreaker fell to the ground with a loud thump. Techsound and Radiohead transformed and sped off. Prowl had heard the shot and realized what had happened and sent the autobots on patrol to intercept the traitors. The first one there was Sideswipe, he transformed and lunged at Radiohead. Radiohead quickly kicked him in the chest sending him flying backwards. "You hurt my bro, you're a dead bot!" Sideswipe yelled as he picked himself up, Wheeljack arrived and transformed. Sideswipe vesus Radiohead, and Wheeljack versus Techsound.
Radiohead smiled, anger had made Sideswipe forget how to fight properly. He was now running headfirst into the fight. Radiohead flipped Sideswipe hard onto his back and Side swipe kicked Radioheads' legs out from under him. The two jumped up and attacked each other with the loud bang as metal hit metal.
Wheeljack and Techsound circled each other watching for weaknesses and seeing who would make the first move. Techsound made the first move, her hidden arm compartment hissing open she quickly withdrew her double blasters and aimed them at Wheeljack and Wheeljack had his shoulder missile launcher aimed at her spark. They froze, each were aiming the others sparks. Who would be lucky enough to fire first?
Radiohead and Sideswipe were on the ground both had their hands wrapped around the other bots' throat. They were rolling trying to get the upper hand. "You wounded my brother! You're going to pay for that you afthole!!" Sideswipe hissed.
"Not since I'm going to kill you first." Radiohead growled. They continued rolling and choking each other.
The two bots fired at the same time and both hits flew true, hitting them in the chest compartments. Knocking them to the ground.
Radiohead nor Sideswipe paid any attention to the loud blasts only a few feet away or their fallen comrads, to intent on killing the other. They broke apart and drew their weapons. Radiohead fired first and hit Sideswipe in the side of the head. Sideswipe growled and fired back, only clipping Radioheads arm. Radiohead quickly fired multiple shots and and Sideswipe crumpled to the ground. Radiohead laughed triumphantly. When he saw Techsound he only shok his head and picked her up. "Lazy good for nothin' femme." He grumbled before transforming and racing back to the decepticon base, energon and Techsound at hand.
"I have returned Lord Megatron, with energon." Radiohead told his leader, who was standing at the control panel pressing random buttons.
"Good job Radiohead. At least I can rely on you unlike some of my other warriors." He replied glancing at Starscream who stuck his nose up in the air, turned on his heel and stalked off.
"Next time you send two of us on a mission send Soundwave. He does a much better job than any femme does."
