Yet again Starscream was hovering over him, while Soundwave worked. And again the humans were using their cellular devices. Luckily Starscream was paying attention, and saw that there was activity. "Stupid humans only seem to use those cellular devices. Seems there lives rely on them" Starscream smirked turning around to his soldiers. "Go we cannot wait!" he commanded. The soldiers fled and went on the attack. Just as another alert bliped on the monitor, showing the another human pet was using their phone. Soundwave found it odd that both humans were using the phones at the same time. He thought maybe they might be communicating but had an uneasy feeling that it was leading to a trap. "Foolish humans, prepare to strike..." Starscream was interupted by Soundwave poking him. /No Starscream this has to be a trap, it dosen't feel right/ Soundwave texted, pointing at the monitor. "Soundwave, why can't you appreciate a little good fortune" Starscream sighed, with a smirk, sending the forces out to attack. *And why can't you appreciate the warnings I'm giving!* Soundwave shook his helm, as a distress call played. "That's one of our energon mines. Insecticons prepare for battle!" Starscream ordered, and Soundwave face palmed. "Oh stop Soundwave, it is not a trap" Starscream scoffed. "Commander Starscream, there must be a mistake. The mine is not under attack" an Eradicon miner called back. "What!?" Starscream raised an optic ridge. /Told you. You stupid idiot!/ Soundwave rolled his optics behind his mask. "Starscream!" Megatron's growl made Starscream jump. "Yes Lord Megatron?" Starscream nervously, with Soundwave, approached the warlord and scientist. "Please inform as to why my forces are spreading across this world?!" Megatron snarled. "Well the Autobo..." a blip interupted Starscream's sentence. As everyone quickly turned to Soundwave to see The Harvenger, fully operational. "The Harvenger?" Starscream questioned. "YOU LEFT DECPTICON EQUIPMENT FULLY OPERATIONAL AND UNSECURED!?" Megatron roared making Starscream cower. "Um... uh... allow me to fix the problem" Starscream nervously grinned. Starscream set the troops ready to eradicate The Harvenger, but was told to redirect, as they were soon under attack!
"It seems my citadel is under attack. Kindly redirect your armada!" Megatron hissed to his second in command. Starscream did as he was told, and Soundwave was playing visual of the battle outside. They were getting pulverised, then Shockwave suggested sending the beast out again. "Soundwave monitor the troops in the lower levels, Shockwave and Starscream stay here" Megatron growled angrily, leaving the room. Soundwave followed his father out to the the cooridor. "Please don't do anything drastic..." Megatron sighed, before parting ways with his son. "I wont" Soundwave dipped his helm as he left.
Soundwave was in audio range of gunfire, he rushed to it. Rounding a corner Soundwave found himself on the opposite side of the troops, he met with Bumblebee who was taking cover at the moment, while Arcee fired, at the soldiers. "Soundwave!" Bumblebee held his younger cousin at gunpoint. "Bee!" Arcee looked over her shoulder, to see Soundwave and Bumblebee standing in battle stances. "Arcee take the shield, I've got this" Bumblebee buzzed, tossing the shield to the femme. Arcee didn't have time to argue. More troops were rushing in and she had to take them down. *Hi Bee nice to see you again* Soundwave kindly greeted, in a tone Knockout would usually use. "Don't say hi to me you disgusting freak!" Bumblebee waved one of his cannons. That behaviour was unusual for the scout, even Arcee thought so. Soundwave was reading Bumblebee was furious with him. "You went behind our backs, in our base. And called your con friends to take the children hostage!" Bumblebee furiously buzzed. *I didn't say I switched to your side!* Soundwave hissed. "We took you in, when you were down! And you repayed us by threatening to kill three humans?!" Bumblebee growled fuming with anger. *No I saved your afts, by telling you to evacuate because we were going to glass your entire base!* Soundwave stood calmly. "We would have evacuated anyway! You gave away our base. We would have expected it!" Bumblebee was clearly feeling betrayed. *I'm a Decepticon, of course I lie to look good!* Soundwave snarled. "So I geuss the fun we had was a lie!" Bumblebee blurted vibrating with anger. Soundwave enjoyed the time they spent, but was now seeing it as a mistake. *You're right again!* Soundwave retorted. And that was enough to unleash Bumblebee's rage. "Optimus is offline because you!" The scout fired at Soundwave, Soundwave swiftly dodged the plasma fire and quickly cut to the close combat. Soundwave blocked every punch his older cousin threw at him. Soundwave wasn't hitting back, he was smart he was waiting for Bumblebee to burn himself out, and wondered if his would ever figure that out? Bumblebee did figure it out after his blows becam weaker. Soundwave took the opportunity and used his right arm to swat Bumblebee back. The yellow scout stumbled backwards regaining his balance. He charged at Soundwave with a fist. Soundwave who stepped aside, as the scout attempted to punch, letting the scout loose his balance. Soundwave released two tentacles. Bumblebee whirled around, to have a tentacle attach to his chest, which sent a dangerous surge of deadly short circuiting electricty. Bumblebee yelped, recieving the burst of electricity. Soundwave then thrashed his tentacle holding Bumblebee, tossing the scout into both walls like a ragdoll, while surging dangerous electricity into the scout, before dragging the beaten frame infront of him on the floor. "Go on. Finish me!" Bumblebee spat. His vents struggled to cycle and he was bearly operational, from the many fuses blown because the deadly electricity. Soundwave pinned Bumblebee with his ped, and bent down. Soundwave then charged the tentacle still attached to the scouts chest, for the finale blow.
Bumblebee's optics went wide, this was it. His cousin was the going to be the one to offlline him. *I'm not going to kill you. I have no reasons to, it's completely unnecessary. So I wont. I will let them handle your fate* Soundwave whispered through the bond they shared, taking the charged cable off of the scout. As Eradicon soldiers quickly surrounded the two. "Scrap!" Arcee cursed, helping Bumblebee up. Bumblebee scowled and watched as Soundwave turned away, exiting the circle of Eradicons. /Don't kill them, keep them prisoner, until Megatron says otherwise, and take them out of here/ Soundwave texed to one of the soldiers, he passed by as he left. The soldier nodded, and signaled to the others, to escort the prisoners outside the citadel.
Soundwave was halfway to the top citadel when Megatron voice came on the commlink. "Optimus Prime is no where to be found! Exacute all prisoners!" Soundwave stopped and threw his helm down. *Well then... That was quicker than usual* Soundwave was tempted to turn around and go rescue his cousin from sudden death. But had a sudden burst of energy from a reawakened bond in his spark. *Oh scrap...* Soundwave knew who the bond belonged to, and was predicting chaos in the next few minutes. Soundwave was nearly at the top of the tower when he got to the door, Starscream was already rushing through it. "Soundwave get to the ship, the battle is lost!" Starscream huffed, as a loud rumble, came shaking the entire tower as it began to crumble. /Where's my dad?!/ Soundwave texted, but with great concern. If he was unmasked Starscream could have read the distresss in his multi coloured optics. "I'm going to get him now" Starscream replied trying to rush to his masters aid. /He's hurt isn't he?!/ Soundwave turned, and watched the seeker rush down the cooridor. "I'm going to get hurt, if you aren't on that ship when I bring him there!" Starscream called back.
Soundwave growled, and bridged himself back to the ship. As soon as he set foot on the Nemesis, Shockwave called for a bridge. It only took Soundwave seconds to bridge his scientist uncle. Then Starscream called for a bridge for Megatron. Soundwave quickly and gladly opened a bridge. Megatron walked through injured, but clearly shook it off as nothing, as he was filled more with rage rather than agony. "Starscream escort our liege to the med bay" Shockwave ordered, recieving an optic roll from the seeker. /I'll do it!/ Soundwave texted, jumping to his fathers side.
Soundwave slowly and steadily escorted his father down the hallways. "So I heard from some of the soldiers, that you beat down primes son" Megatron smirked. "He simply got in the way. Resistance of being taken hostage, I simply took action, forcing the scout into submission" Soundwave reported. "So there's no hard feelings between you two?" Megatron raised an optic ridge. "Not that I know of. He was upset that I went back to you that's about it" Soundwave shrugged, as they entered the medbay.
"Soundwave could job on the scouts smack down!" Knockout cheered as he examined Megatron. "Primus does everyone know?" Soundwave threw his helm back. "Well you know the Eradicons can't keep secrets, Soundy" Knockout reminded, with a small chuckle. "Steve..." Soundwave grumbled. "Who?" both Knockout and Megatron stared at him. "No one. Nothing..." Soundwave waved it off. "Well you seem to be fine my liege, you're internal damage recovered itself" Knockout finished his scans. "Figured that much." Megatron sighed, rolling his optics. "And you Soundwave, you have any injuries?" Knockout asked, looking Soundwave up and down. "Nothing but a few dents" Soundwave shrugged. "That's my little gladiator!" Megatron praised patting Soundwave's helm. "Please, Bumblebee is bearly worth the challenge" Soundwave scoffed. "Of course he isn't. You could squash him like the bug he is!" Knockout snorted. "Yes, it's a shame you didn't stay with the soldiers when I ordered the exacution, you could have finished the job" Megatron sighed, with an evil smile. "Yeah..." Soundwave sighed. "What are you sighing for? I know you would" Megatron smirked. "Oh, I'm just tired that's all..." Soundwave made up an excuse. "Well then you should be retiring to your berth by now?" Knockout placed his servos on his hips. "Not if work needs to be done" Soundwave shook his helm. "No you have worked yourself to hard. Time to rest yourself youngling" Megatron softly replied. "That's alright, I'm not that tired" Soundwave yawned. Megatron and Knockout both looked at eachother with a smile. "Soundy, it's kind of hard to believe you when you yawn while saying you're not tired" the red medic smirked. "No really I'm not" Soundwave looked at both mechs. "Go" both the warlord and medic pionted to the door. "You two suck..." Soundwave grumbled, leaving the med bay.
