         "Soundwave, assist Shockwave in his escape and retrieval of the Predacon fossil." Megatron growled, mildly irritated that his most prized engineer would go out without proper back up. 

     The lithe Decepticon gave a silent message for (Y/N) to remain as he flew out the waiting groundbridge to more or less rescue the scientific fool. She watched as he detached Laserbeak, who not only helped Soundwave in his fight, but recorded the happenings for their leader, and his pupil, to watch. Then his wing was hit, and Soundwave fell unsteadily toward the ground, though he had stunned the newly upgraded Prime. Megatron's fists clenched at the untimely blow to his most trusted, but the sudden appearance of a groundbridge in front of said mech made the leader raise an optic brow.

     Soundwave transformed behind his leader, confused, only to watch his double, as if he had travelled back in time, launch herself into another bridge and appear beneath Laserbeak. She transformed and tripped the three bots tugging for the jaw of the long dead creature as she slid beneath them, forcing their grips to loosen and hers to barely tug at the edge. Laserbeak swooped down, taking the jaw from (Y/N)'s servo and escaping through another groundbridge, created by his master. 

     Soundwave held the jaw gingerly, as if it could crumble to mere dust despite the tug-of-war it had endured, ordering Laserbeak to return to his chassis. He looked to his leader, who stared at their prize with a nearly unidentifiable expression of awe and satisfaction. Their attention was brought back to the computer screen as (Y/N) now recorded the event, using her newly learned combat training (and M.E.C.H.-learned techniques) to kick back the Scout and Rookie. Optimus had gained back his senses, and made his new target Shockwave, but the scientist's sudden disappearance through a groundbridge below him forced the Prime to pull up before he crashed.

     Shockwave landed unsteadily behind his leader and co-worker, his antenna flicking in confusion. His one, large optic peered at Megatron and Soundwave, who had turned back to the computer, though Shockwave took a moment to deduct that the silent Decepticon was indeed Soundwave by the singed armor of his right wing and arm.

         "Then (Y/N) is the orchestrator of this assist?" He droned in question.

         "A rather amusing technique." Megatron mused, dragging his digits across his chin. "I believe she responded when Soundwave was harmed, much like he had responded when Darkmount fell. They protect each other."

     The trio watched awhile longer as (Y/N) fought against the two, and even dodged Optimus' fist, which collided with Smokescreen's helm after the Prime's miscalculation. She slipped from the Scout and walked through her own groundbridge, the swirling vortex of color closing just before Optimus could enter. The femme kneeled before Megatron, holding up a tooth that had detached from the once powerful jaw. 

     Taking the trinket, Megatron glanced at the bone held by his Third in Command. They only needed a piece as small as the part he now held to rebuild the Predacon, yet their new recruit was successful to bring the whole of their target. His previous doubts were beginning to melt away as the war lord grinned triumphantly.
