Rosestorm wasn't sure why it was so important, this fight with Soundwave. But it was. He was roaring, primal sounds that he'd clearly never made before. They sounded raw in his throat, painful as they tore out.
Rosestorm snarled, a sound that was very familiar to her. Her claws racked against his chest and his hand snapped out against her face leaving a dent.
"Traitor!"
Soundwave, still had the sense to use his comm. link during the fight, but Rosestorm didn't have the sense or the control.
"Fool!" She hissed, head butting him in the face with a resounding CRACK.
The two of them rolled in the dirt, and Soundwave grabbed her shoulders and lifted her up, before throwing her back down onto the dirt painfully.
"Loved….loved you…."
It was practically a sob and Rosestorm screeched, the two of them vanished and the gathering of Autobots and Decepticons looked around before seeing them both.
They came whistling from the sky, and Rosestorm planted Soundwave into the ground with a horrible shattering sound.
Soundwave kicked her off and she shot up several feet, rolled and landed in a crouch. She reached to the side and grabbed a decepticon, before swinging him around and throwing him into Soundwave. Soundwave dodged to the side and came up running, he wrapped himself around Rosestorms middle and forced her into a tall flat rock.
She hissed in pain, and used her claws to grab a hunk of Soundwave's back, dug her claws in as much as she possibly could and then wrenched off a good portion of his armour.
Energon dripped down Soundwaves back and he reached up, and grabbed Rosestorms eyes like fishhooks and dragged her entire face to the side. She yelped as she had no choice but to follow and he twisted her entire body around so that he was behind her and she was pressed up against the rock with his arms wrapped around her neck.
"Would have done anything for you"
Rosestorm ignored him, she grinned and he fell through her into the wall. Rosestorm solidified her hands and smashed her fist into Soundwaves face and his head shot back and cracked against the rock.
Rosestorm melted through the ground, and reappeared above Soundwave and she simply fell feet first onto his shoulders. However Soundwave twisted his shoulders before they hit the ground and her feet landed hard on the ground and she felt part of her ankle joint splinter at the sudden unprotected impact.
A long crack ran down Soundwave's visor, and another splintered crack was spreading on his back. Energon was dripping down his back and along his neck, whilst energon dripped from Rosestorms mouth and all along her legs and down her arms. A hunk of Soundwave back armour had been torn off and was laying forlorn on the ground.
"Enough" Rosestorm hissed, and the two of them vanished once more.
Everyone was silent, and Riptide released a breath he hadn't realised he was holding. That, had been so sudden, and so devastating at the same time. Optimus was helping Bumblebee from the floor, and that was when Riptide noticed him.
Megatron, blade drawn and poised, was heading steadily for Optimus whilst everyone's attention was elsewhere.
Riptide knew that Optimus couldn't move fast enough, neither could Bumblebee in the state he was in. Riptide could, Riptide had the speed of the primes at his disposal.
He darted to Optimus who had his back to Megatron, and face Megatron.
Megatron's blade was already moving, and Riptide froze as it pierce through his armour and the tip protruded from his back.
His optics were wide, and energon was spilling from around the blade. Had Optimus noticed yet? Had anybody? Riptide didn't know.
Megatron looked happy enough with the result, and tore his blade away from where it had been sheathed in Riptides chest and withdrew back into the crowd.
Riptide crumpled, and now he was finally aware of Optimus' strong arms around his body, barking orders about a ground bridge.
No, he though, wait for Rosestorm.
"Wait…" He gasped and Optimus looked down at his vaguely aware eyes.
"Rose…need…half…h…heart…"
He wheezed and Optimus lifted him as green blurred into Riptide's vision. His message hadn't gotten through, Rosestorm was going to die.
Rosestorm hadn't ever called someone as large as Soundwave to her own dimension beforehand. It wouldn't hold for long but she didn't need long.
"You are an utter fool" She spat, brushing energon from the corner of her mouth.
"You are a traitor"
SLAP.
Rosestorm spoke again as though she had not just slapped Soundwave, the one creature that the primes feared, across the face.
"Shut up and listen" She ordered, and simply out of shock Soundwave remained silent.
"Megatron tried to have me killed, and the Autobots saved me" She told him and he froze, although to Rosestorm it just looked like he'd stiffened up a bit.
"Riptide and I need to be near each other, not because we like each other, but because we share our spark"
Soundwave…did not know that.
"Do you understand? You complete and total fo-" Rosestorm froze, and Soundwave frowned over at her.
Her optics were horrifically wide, and she lurched forwards clutching her chest desperately.
Soundwave became unfrozen, instantly coming to Rosestorms aid. He couldn't see an injury, so what was he supposed to do? How could he help her.
"D…defected…idiot" She laughed feebly, energon dripping out of her mouth in excess.
"Shh" He ordered and started a scan on her body.
He could fix it. Of course he could fix it.
"Wanted…yo…you to come…l…loved you…too"
Soundwave wrapped his arms around Rosestorm and hoisted her up, and peered down at her through the crack in his visor.
"Rosestorm, take us to Riptide" He ordered gently, and she nodded slightly.
Soundwave was going to have a word with the autobots, and then a nice long chat with Megatron.
An entire page dedicated to that fight between Rosestorm and Soundwave. If you thought that was good, wait till you see the bash up between…actually…naaah, wont tell you. Spoilers :3
Oh! And review 200 gets a oneshot! So, review!
Girl Supersonicboy, Of course people are going to get hurt! That's why it's a fight. Not sure about the ending though…ah well, angsty Soundwave will be a nice change.
Foxbear, Excruciatingly painful. Oh, and I'd just like to point out your Shakespeare reference, nicely done.
Thelegofan, Next few chapters are going to be angst angst ANGST!
Dragonlord1337, Yeah, Riptide and Rosestorm are, in essence, twins. As you may be able to tell from the fact that they share a spark, and when one half of the spark gets injured the other half feels the repercussions.
Lionfire, I used to have a battery powered nun chuck wielding hamster that sung that song…Anyway! Soundwave does kind of come out on top, but I have maybe, sorta planned another fight between those two…Oh! And I like to only write two fics at a time, so when I finish this (unlikely) or my bleach fic (much more likely) I'll post a Batgirl centric fic (You know, cause I'm already writing it) (Heck I may post it anyway)
Blackshadow, Of course Soundwave picked the wrong fraction, that much awesome should not be repressed by Megatron! Soundwave should lead! And rule!
Read and Review guys!
Tulip Out.
