Chapter 3
On board of Nemesis
Megatron done everything he could think of. He wasn't recharging for over 3 solar cycles (3 human days). Megatron headed to command room to his third in command.
Megatron said: "Soundwave I am going to recharge don't anyone dare to disturb me by this time."
Soundwave simply nodded and continued his work. Megatron went to his quarters. On the way to his room, he grabbed an energon cube from storage. He entered his quarters and placed a cube on top of his personal console. Megatron laid on his berth (bed). After his encounter with Unicron he felt disappointed. He thought Unicron would help him to destroy Optimus and create a new Cybertron, but it was only half true.
After that Megatron hoped that at least he could convince Optimus who lost his memories after fight with Unicron to work with him and end this war by his side. That also failed. Megatron felt himself a lot more tired than usual, finally he could get a good rest. His last hope at that moment was only last four coordinates from Iacon archive.
It was one of the moments when Megatron could think alone, only by himself. He is usually busy controlling and delegating tasks between his followers or fighting the Autobots.
Megatron thought to himself: "When will the war end already? I am too tired to continue it, now I don't even have any powers to continue fighting. Is that really what I wanted? I started to notice that the only moments when I smile is when I try to remember the past when Orion, Soundwave and I were together. I need to talk about that with Soundwave, else my processor will break from all these thoughts. Now I need recharge."
Megatron went into recharge mode. He spends next 2 solar cycles (2 days) recharging. While he was asleep, his followers did all tasks and finally could rest a little.
When Megatron woke up from his recharge, he took energon cube from his console. Many solar cycles have passed since his last energon meal. After his so much needed meal he went to console to send a message to Soundwave.
Megatron message: "Soundwave go to my quarters I need to talk with you."
Megatron sat at his berth waiting for Soundwave.
Soundwave stood in front of main console in command room when he received a message from Megatron. Right after reading it he went to Megatron's quarters.
Soundwave pinged to Megatron that he is standing in front of his room. Megatron let him in and started to talk.
Megatron said: "Soundwave I need to talk with you privately, make sure no one can overhear our conversation."
Soundwave spoke to his minicon Laserbeak through their bond. Laserbeak flew out of the room and started guarding it. Soundwave nodded to Megatron meaning that it was safe to speak now.
Megatron said: "Thank you Soundwave, you're the only bot I can trust that much. I wanted to speak with you about our war with Autobots. I feel that I can't fight with them any longer, I'm too tired. We are fighting with them for too long. For me the only reason which I can remember why we are fighting right now is because we were fighting with them before."
Soundwave didn't say anything, he was only listening to what Megatron was telling. He started to getting used to this conversations with Megatron. For the first time Soundwave was surprised to hear what Megatron said but after that he started to think by himself. He also agreed that there was no reason to fight this war any longer. After that realization he tried to fight without killing anyone, using Groundbridge or knocking out.
Megatron continued: "Very different ideas started to appear in my mind. What if we dissolve Decepticons or what if we team up with Autobots. I don't know what to do, I just want to end everything."
After Megatron ended his speech, Soundwave stood next to him and put a servo on his shoulder and used his own voice.
Soundwave said: "Megatron decides. Soundwave follows."
Megatron said: "Thank you Soundwave, I'm very pleased that you are by my side. Alright I know what to do. Soundwave since that moment you are in charge on Nemesis. I need time to think and decide what to do. I'll fly somewhere to be alone and relax."
Soundwave nodded in agreement and told Laserbeak to return on his chassis (chest). After that he headed to command room to take control over Nemesis. Megatron on other hand went to the take-off pad to fly away and find a beautiful and quiet place to think.
Knockout came out from med bay and headed to command room. He done all his tasks and even relax a bit so now he was bored. He didn't want to do any work, he just wanted to race a bit with some humans to show how good looking and fast he can be. Since he wasn't allowed to leave Nemesis without permission, he hoped that Megatron would allow him to go on a race. Somehow lately it was very easy to convince him to let Knockout race.
Knockout entered command room but couldn't find Megatron. There were only Soundwave and some Vehicons. He walked to Soundwave to ask him.
Knockout said: "Soundwave do you know where is lord Megatron? I wanted to ask his permission to race a bit."
Soundwave turned his head to Knockout and showed to him a check sign, meaning he is free to go. Knockout was surprised that Soundwave let him go. So, he asked to be sure.
Knockout said: "Are you sure lord Megatron would allow it?"
Soundwave showed the sign again. Then he asked Knockout where to Groundbridge him.
Knockout said: "Alright. Can you please send me here."
He spotted some area near Jasper Nevada. Soundwave nodded and the next second green vortex appeared behind Knockout. Knockout headed to the vortex.
Knockout said: "Thank you Soundwave."
