Soundwave fell through the atmosphere the heat burning his unprepared body in places. The thing that had attacked him seemed more interested in the energy of the satellite for the moment and was not perusing him, but the communications bot knew that this thing would soon run of of satellites and at that point it would come to earth. Being the loyal bot he was he contacted his new leader Fury hoping to warn the young Decepticon about the danger that now floated above their heads but as he tried to make contact he found that a strange energy trace was interfering with his com systems. Soundwave soon had other problems as he found that he had been far from ready to make planet fall, the poor defense he had rushed to form was proving to be far less than capable of holding back the heat that now engulfed him. More of his systems took damage and as he tried to desperately protect his vital systems and spark chamber the Decepticon watched his precious communication system burn out almost totally as the heat found a way into it. After what felt like the longest time in his life the last of the heat faded from his body as he found himself free falling through the air towards the ground with no control of where he would land.
To those below the object looked like a shooting star for a few seconds, then as the light vanished many regretted not making a wish on it. What none of them knew was the the object was making wishes of it's own as Soundwave hoped that he would land far enough away from the Autobots and the human military so that he could make an escape in his damaged state. Deep in a Mexican desert there was an earth shattering impact as the communication bot came to rest in the empty waste. The sound of scraping metal and pained cries echoed through the night air as Soundwave pulled himself from the creator that had been created when he landed. The Decepticon found it hard to move as many of his systems were either offline or badly damaged. By shear force of will the communication bot was able to make his way across the sand towards an out cropping of rock that looked like it had a cave big enough to hid himself from any unfriendly parties that were searching for him. With another effort he forced his body into a smaller shape that would fit better with in the darkness of the cave and as the last of his strength left him Soundwave collapsed into stasis as his auto-repair systems started to work on the damage that had been caused.
Far away in Tranquility Fury's Trent Avatar drummed his simulated fingers on the hood of the car he had once though of as his only means of transport. The young Decepticon leader did not like using his Avatar as it felt weak when compared to his main form but at the moment he had to keep watch for his friends as the time for them to arrive was getting close. Had he known it would take them more than two day to get back to him he would have landed somewhere else with something to entertain him while he waited. As it was all he had been able to do was look into some military computers and defense systems but this had gotten boring for him as he was able to find the weakness he needed very quickly thanks to the access Soundwave had provided. The young Decepticon leader was now board of his mind as he kept watch, the internet provided him with less amusement that it used to as he was able to read through entire sites faster than it used to take him to load them up on the primitive computers that the humans were forced to use. All in all he was running out of things to do and there was the ever growing temptation to go forth and have a little fun at the expense of the people of Tranquility. He though about all the targets he could now take out with ease, first there was the traitor Max and his disgusting friend, then there was the place they worked together promoting more of that unnatural behavior. Fury savored the thought of turning the place to rubble and leaving a mark in the history of the town of how people like that caused nothing but trouble for normal people. Then there was the school, the teachers there had supported Max and the sick life he was leading and there was no doubt in Fury's mind that they were continuing to teach other students the being that way was normal and was nothing to be ashamed of.
He could take both places out in an hour and be back before the others got there but then he would soon have the army and most probably the Autobots swarming all over the place. So Fruy's Trent Avatar sat and brooded on the though of how much destruction and pain he could cause all those he despised so much. Still there would be the chance to cause some mayhem once the others were finished with their training and were ready for combat. Then the four of them could cause some trouble before they left the earth for a while as they waited for Zack to finish his transformation. This Fury hoped would create a warrior who could crush the Autobots with ease allowing them to begin their conquest of earth and the eventual restoration of the Decepticon race. Yes it would be good to raise an army and unite earth under the control of him self and his commanders. Though that would mean Interface locking himself in the playboy mansion with every attractive woman he encountered or saw or read about. The Trent Avatar hung his head low as he pictured the wild parties that Interface would throw, most of them lasting at least a week at a time.
As his thoughts were lost in a haze of possibilities Fury did not detect the approach of Unseen until he was almost on top of him. The young Decepticon leader only realized that someone was there when he heard the sound of an engine through his Avatar. His scanners now working over time Fury soon recognized that it was the first of the bots he'd been waiting for and relaxed as he was now curious as to what form Unseen had chosen for his alt. The sound drew closer and a pair of headlights swung round as what looked like a car approached in the failing light. The young Decepticon leader thought it strange that Unseen had chosen a car for his alt as most cars that he could transform into were anything but impressive. The first real look that Fury got surprised him as for a moment he thought that Unseen had chosen some kind of track car for his alt. The Al Avatar sat in the drivers seat grinning at Fury's Avatar like he was a human who had just won the lottery. For a moment the Trent Avatar was unable to speak as he took in the sleek lines and exposed chassis of the car Unseen had chosen for his alt. Fury took another look at the vehicle that his friend had chosen for his alt, it was smaller than any car he had ever seen in his life. Unseen's alt sat low to the ground and it's top sat little more than three feet from the road it was sitting on. It had just to seats squashed into the small open section where the driver was meant to sit and by the looks of things there was no was anyone past a certain size was going to get in either of those seats.
What little body work his alt had was black and and red giving the vehicle he was impersonating a dangerous look that also seemed to blend into the darkness like it was cloaked from view. The car was indeed a good match to Unseen's main form but still he was going to attract a lot of attention driving round in a car that looked like it had been stolen from a racing driver. "well what do you think?" asked Unseen as he watched Fury's Avatar stalk round his alt like he had done something wrong. "it's nice" said the Trent Avatar and then added "but I thought you were going to get a road car not something from a race track", "this is a road car" replied the smaller Decepticon now grinning again. The red eyes of the Trent Avatar looked into those of the Al Avatar searching for any sign that he was being untruthful but after a few seconds of unbroken contact he finally asked "so what's this thing called?". With a sudden movement Al jumped out of his alt and replied "it's called the ariel atom three, I was going to get some large bike or something but when I saw this I just had to scan it and man it was worth it, you have no idea how much fun this thing is". Trent looked at the shear delight on Al's face then asked "so I guess you like it then?" as if he needed an answer, "ohh yeh, it's so much fun it should be illegal and you've got to go for a ride in my alt it's a rush like you've never had" replied Al with a mix of joy and pleading as he wanted to share this with Fury through his Avatar.
The look on the face of Unseen's Avatar told him that the small Decepticon was not going to let this drop and as he was still waiting for the others he agreed to a short trip. That was all Unseen needed to hear as he jumped into his alt and revved his engine hard, the Trent Avatar climbed in as Al gripped the wheel hard. "your going to be glad that your not human any more fury because the force my alt puts on you is almost to much for a human body to take" this was all Unseen said before he pulled out and sped off accelerating as fast as he could push his alt. The simulated body that Fury was experiencing the world through was thrown back into the seat by the shear force of Unseen's new alt form, in seconds they were almost flying down the road and the Decepticon leader was glad that there were no cops around as unseen was driving like a mad man through the more empty streets of Tranquility. After a few minutes of traveling at speed and taking corners that few cars could handle at said speeds Fury found that Unseen was driving past their old school, under the now darkening sky it looked so small and weak. Fury felt his spark burn with a little anger as he once more thought about what was being allowed to happen within it's walls and how the teachers were allowing those people to corrupt others. But at the speed Unseen was going they were soon on another street and heading back to the meeting place and Fury's main form.
A few minutes of Unseen's almost crazed driving had them back to the old building they had chosen as a meeting place, the look of shear joy that was plastered on the face of the smaller Decepticon's Avatar said more than anything ever could have. Fury on the other had was glad that his Avatar could not be hurt as the drive would have surely put a human in the hospital because of the shear g-forces alone. Now back on solid and unmoving ground Fury found a spot to sit as he silently vowed to never go for a drive with Unseen again if he could avoid it. After a few minutes of getting an over excited Unseen under control the young Decepticon leader detected the approach of another one of his friends. This time he knew that it was Tank as he had the most trouble hiding his energy signature, it took longer for the armored Decepticon to reach them than it had taken Unseen but given the driving style of the smaller Decepticon that was no wonder. Out of the darkness to large head lights came slowly driving at them as Tank pulled to a far more gently stop than Unseen had done. The alt Tank had chosen looked like a normal Chevy Suburban and for a moment Fury wondered why the his friend had chosen this car for alt as it looked nothing special. Tank's Avatar opened the door and climbed out of the drivers seat running his hand over the polished black metal that made up the outer frame of his alt.
Unseen could not help but say "so crashed in the middle of a bunch of soccer mom's and were forced to grab the nearest scan you could" with a small laugh. The smaller Decepticon received a glare from Tank' Avatar before he said "no, but I'll be careful not to crush that flea you call an alt when I show you round my alt and it's hidden extras". Before things got any further Fury interrupted and asked "so why did you choose this as you alt tank?", "that's easy" replied Tank "underneath this mild mannered exterior is more armor than most people will ever see, I got the scan for my alt from a brand new armored car". The pride in the his voice was obvious as he patted the hood of his alt and opened the drivers door. "take a look" said Tank's Brad Avatar as he pointed to the metal that covered the inside of the doors and the thicker that normal glass like materials that sat in the windows. As the others examined it tank continued "not an once of armor lost anywhere and my alt is bomb proof, bullet proof, can run with four flat tires and will handle anything that can be thrown at it". "ok I'm impressed" said Unseen as he looked at all the defenses built into the alt that Tank had chosen, Fury too was impressed with this vehicle as it could keep going through a massive amount of enemy fire with breaking Tank's cover. As Fury looked at the armored structure he though of how this could be used to their advantage as he imagined the possibilities for capturing high ranking people under the guise of transporting them safely in an armored vehicle.
The three started talking with each other about why they had chosen their alt's and the conversation went on for a few more hours as they waited for interface to arrive. At long last they detected the energy signature of the last Decepticon they were waiting for, once more two headlights pierced the darkness as Interface's alt arrived. It differed from the others in that this looked like a normal sports car. The Avatar that Interface used and prided above all other things leaned back in the drivers seat with a telling smirk on his face. The glasses that hid his eyes were designer as were the clothes he was wearing, in fact the whole Avatar had received a makeover to match the car he was driving. The Avatar got out and stroked his fingers over the polished sliver metal of the Aston Martin DB9 that he had chosen for his alt. Before any of the others could say anything Interface said "you guys like, I know that the ladies do and I gotta say that I never though that I would love having sex inside of my self that much". The Trent Avatar shook his head as Tank and Unseen exchanged questioning looks, "at least you showed up" said Fury "we though that you'd be gone for days" added Unseen. "no I promised that I'd be here but I almost didn't make it, those cougars really don't like to let guy's go once the get a hold of them" said Interface as he walked into the aging structure. The Trent Avatar just put his face in one hand as he shook his head once more "I could slam his face into a wall a few times if you want" said Tank's Avatar as he stood beside Fury's. "his avatar wouldn't feel it" replied Fury "I wasn't talking about his avatar" said Tank.
The others joined Interface inside the old building that held Fury's alt as they didn't want to give him the chance to come up with any more ideas that could take his focus off of the training they had to do. "so you guys hear about all the trouble?" asked Interface as he sat on an old box near a wall "what trouble?" asked Fury though he feared the answer would be connected with another one of the pervert Decepticon's ideas. "everyone is loosing their satellites, tv, communications, everything, it's all going dark up there and no-one knows why" said Interface as he stretched "it was all most of them could talk about before and after" he added and the others groaned at the comment. Only Fury suspected that something was going on but he pushed it to one side as he was sure that Soundwave would have informed him of anything important.
