Prime's Charge

Chapter 4: Infiltrating the Cons

Soundwave's POV

Don't get too excited Wattpaders.

"Scrap." Alias said, her tiny hand sticking up between Megatron's armour.

I carefully grabbed a small peice of metal and dropped it into her hand.

"Thank you." She said as she pulled it in.

The medical door opened.

"Soundwave." Starscream greeted.

I turned around, but not before I saw Alias's head pop up to watch the interaction.

"I need you to patrol the roof of the ship. I heard that there was an Autobot sighting. Make sure you take care of it. I'll call you back when the threat is gone. Now go. Quickly." He said.

I reluctantly followed his orders and left the room, pausing only slightly when I realized that Starscream was not following.

I left a drone in there, a small one so that I could monitor Alias and Starscream in case he tried any funny business.

The Decepticon was known for his hatred of both humans and Lord Megatron. I doubt that there was even a problem on the roof.

But as soon as I opened the hatch to the roof, I saw a ground bridge open way above the roof.

A wooden box was held out through it, by Bulkheads hand. And then he dropped it. It hit the ground right after the portal closed and shattered. The whole thing broke and immediately a horde of Scraplins rose into the air and flew towards the other Decepticons on the roof.

I started running to the medical room, where Starscream was simply staring at Megatron while Alias worked. It was obvious he was thinking hard about doing something.

I burst into the room, surprisingly Starscream.

"What are you doing here?!" He demanded.

But I didn't need to answer because he brushed past me into the hallway as the screams of the other Decepticons rose up in the hallways.

"Scraplins!" Someone yelled.

"Scraplins? On Earth? Is it true?" He asked me and I nodded.

"Prepare a pod. I need to get to safety." He said.

I looked at Megatron.

"Oh yes. Of course. You should get Megatron to safety. Get him and the medic to a pod. You can ride with them. I'll find one myself." He said.

"Lord M- Starscream! What do we do?! There are Scraplins eating everyone!" A Decepticon asked Starscream.

"Kill them. Shoot all the Scraplins, we cannot abandon the ship."

"Um. If we take Megatron off of life support, he will die." Alias told said to Starscream.

"Well then Soundwave, stay here and protect Megatron while the medic works on him. I hope you don't die." Starscream said, though he was obviously happy about the whole situation.

Megatron's chances of survival were very slim at this point. Even if he did, some Scraplins would get to him and prolong the recovery.

With the Decepticons attacking the Scraplins, the infestation would only last about about 30 minutes.

I shut the medical room's door.

"I would ask you what Scraplins are, but I know you wouldn't answer." Alias said as she ducked back into Megatron's arm.

"How is this guy even alive? He's got a hole right through the che- um, servo? And where in the life is his spark?" She asked, though I knew the questions were rhetorical.
