When Silence Is Loudest chapter 6
Complete darkness.
Megatron has experienced darkness before. And has never been afraid of it (when he was a sparkling didn't count).
But this was different. Is was a darkness that made you feel like you've never experienced darkness before. It felt oppressive and choking. It felt like a nightmare. It felt like at any moment all of your worst fears were going to jump out and overpower you. It made you second-guess whether you were moving or not while you're terrified that you'll fall of a cliff or something like that. It made your mind scream holyprimusgetmeoutogheregetmeoutofhere!
It hard to believe this was his Soundwave's mind.
He remembered his time with the Autobot scout using the patch. Soundwave should have a landscape here.
The tyrant thought about what the TIC's would be.
And he wonder how in the name of Cybertron he was going to get Soundwave's memories back.
But he will bring Soundwave back to him.
His communication officer has never failed him, how could he even think about failing him?
Megatron is still going to kill that medic.
The darkness continued to press against his frame.
He was…unsettled…by the completeness of the darkness.
The warlord continued walking.
It feels think he's only been here for a few seconds and for hours upon hours at the same time.
Soundwave would absolutely do the same for him. There was no doubt in his mind. With Soundwave there wouldn't be a moment of hesitation. Just the end goal and doing what was needed to meet that.
And then not even realize how much he appreciated him and would probably blush under Megatron's words of praise.
It has happened before, which of course nobody noticed because of his facemask, but Megatron has long become versed in Soundwave's extremely subtle body language.
His face broke out in a small smile. Oh Primus he was smiling. He quickly replaced it with a scowl.
It was all his Third-In-Command's fault.
Was it just him or did it seem just the tiniest bit brighter? Then he realized the darkness didn't seem as oppressive. It felt like a weight that he didn't even realize was there lifted.
He continued to walk.
The warlord wasn't quite sure how long, but it felt like a long time.
Megatron almost tripped over the dimly glowing pinkish purplish blue cube.
It reminded him of an energon cube, but just much smaller and the color was off. The light that it emitted was so dim and dull Megatron wasn't surprised he missed it.
He crouched down to grab it when he paused right before he wrapped his hand around it.
There was feelings of safety and love surrounding it, but almost in a young sense. Like what a sparkling or youngling would feel around their sire and carrier.
Megatron paused.
He continued to crouch there for several moments trying to decide what he should do.
This was better than walking around aimlessly right?
Taking a habit right from Soundwave he hummed (which is a habit only done when alone of course).
Without another moment of hesitation he grasped the strange and small cube.
The darkness seemed to vanish in an instant along with its negative effects and was twisted with such a whirlwind of colors it gave Megatron a headache.
A headache was the last of his problems.
Finally the colors seemed to settle, all though blurred, and the feelings of safety and love and youth from before intensified into an onslaught of these very emotions.
And then everything settled.
Megatron shook his head to get rid of any leftover confusion and looked at the scene in front of him.
