Dark Soul

CHAPTER TEN

Soundwave's whole frame tensed as soon as Void's faceplates were revealed. The fur on top of her helm were as black as the deepest parts of space with two small matching horns, while her squishy surface was a bit pale, dentas as sharp as Megatron's, but it was the femme's optics that caught the silent TIC off guard.

Deep crimson with flecks of purple.

:Master...:, Laserbeak softly spoke through their bond, :Her optics are like...:, the minicon trailed off as he felt Soundwave's digit be gingerly placed on his back strut as a way to silence him. The lithe mech stared intently at Void as he studied her; little scars could be seen on her face but not really visible unless you actually looked. But her optics said a lot...

There was a brightly glowing flame within them that was fueled by hatred, anguish, anger, bitterness, and a hollow emptiness that seemed to be never ending. Yet, a small glimmer of determination and hope could be seen as well...

Despite her looking rather young, Soundwave could easily tell that this organic has seen and experienced unimaginable horrors that no normal human could ever endure.

"Are you sure you're a human?", Starscream's shrill voice interrupted the TIC of his thinking as Void shrugged her shoulder plates uncertainly, "I honestly don't know. All I know is waking up to a bright light with no memories of myself or my past besides my name."

"Is... Void truly your designation?"

"It is.", the ravenette cautiously answered with narrowed eyes, "Why...?"

Soundwave knows what Starscream is thinking...

Void sounds like a Cybertronian name.

But why would a human, who had no idea of their existence until now, have a designation that originated from their home planet?

Void waited patiently for an explanation but when she received none, the fair skinned woman rolled her eyes in annoyance while sighing in defeat. Then the familiar pang in her empty stomach caused her to wince before looking up at Starscream and Soundwave.

"Well, since I'm going to be staying here for now on, you guys will have to realize some important facts.", when the ravenette saw she gained the two mech's full attention, she continued "I am a living, breathing, sentient being with needs. Which means I eat, drink, sleep, and other things in order to survive. And I am quite sure that, whatever this place is, does not have any plumbing or running water. I didn't expect you guys to because I deduced that you don't need to get rid of your own waste products from within your body like I do. So either figure out what to do about that or you'll going to have to let me out so I can do my business. Unless you want to clean up a mess."

The seeker's optical ridge and wings twitched in irritation before looming over Void with a sneer, "Well, aren't you the demanding creature."

"It's logical.", she hissed back with bared fangs and narrowed glowing crimson eyes; placing a hand on her hip.

"Think of me as a...", the horned human waved her free hand around while trying to find the right words, "pet. They require a lot of time, attention, and responsibility.", then she gave a smug smile, "So take fucking responsibility."

"They experimented on human sparklings?", Ratchet echoed in horror and anger as his servos tightened into fists. Sure, he may not be a fan of the inhabitants of Earth, but he always had a soft spot for the young and innocent; despite his grumpy personality. So when he heard such disturbing information, the medic's spark jolted in sorrow and pity for what unspeakable horrors the younglings must have went through before meeting their abrupt end.
