Waves of Starlight (TFP fanfic)

Chapter 9

Megatron walked down the halls until he heard the screams echo. Following them to see Soundwave attacking Starscream. He didn't even need to ask what happened as he watched. Leaning in the corner with a smirk. Servos over his chassis.

He watched as the silver mech was literally thrown down the halls over and over. He ran away sometimes but always got caught by the absolutely furious Soundwave.

Megatron laughed at the situation, as he stood there. "You should have never threatened the human, Starscream." He spoke, looking at the seeker.

"I know! I know!" His voice shrieked, a lot higher than it could actually go as Soundwave advanced.

"Give me a good reason to save your aft, Starscream? Or I will let him extinguish you for good." Megatron demanded, standing there glaring at Starscream. "For all he knows, you will simply try to attack his human again."

"I am the only airforce commander you have!" He yelled, "No one else can command them like I do!"

"I don't need you here Starscream. Feel free to clip his wings, Soundwave. He is banished from the Decepticon cause. If he comes back, feel free to extinguish it. As I know you truly wish to. You can kick him off ship however you please." Megatron turned around to leave. A smirk on his face.

Soundwave looked at Megatron before slowly turning and looking at Starscream. Let's just say, his shouts were heard all throughout the ship before he was predominantly booted off it.

Valena sat there, resuming working on the datapad while she sat there. Radio in the room now watching. They both heard Starscream shout before it went quiet. "From these cameras, it appears that Starscream really felt them stars and screamed." She joked, looking at Radio for a brief second before looking back down. "Whatever, he got what he deserved." Turning back to pulling up files and documents. Trying to save whatever information she could from her manor. She hated the idea of all her works being destroyed, but she wanted to save her blueprints at the least.

The kid was busy cracking up on the floor as that was probably the first joke she'd heard in a very long time.

Valena smiled, watching the con laugh. It was making her heart warm to see the humor. That she managed to use her gadgets, turn on her camera and catch an image of the beautiful smile on Radio's face. Saving it for later in case Soundwave didn't come in on time to see.

"Ah," She sighed when she could finally speak, "I have not laughed like that in ages." She grinned and switched to her holoform which came over and stood by Valena, still grinning, "So whatcha doing?"

"I have managed to connect to the software from my home. I hate to feel like I am in the way, but I have a human trying to break into my home and steal my works to cause mass murder. I've given the order to have my home blow up if my defenses aren't strong enough to stop him. So in the meantime, I am sitting here and saving blueprints and data journals from all of my work in case my home truly is destroyed." She explained with a sigh, not wanting to look up at Radio if the con was feeling pity for her. She didn't want the pity.

"Funny." She muttered, "That's almost exactly the picture of humans I got painted when we got here."

She went and looked at the screen, "I can help the uploads go faster if you need?"

"Sure. I would appreciate that." She smiled, looking at her. "Any idea what your father is gonna do after dealing with Screamer?"

"Eh, probably use him as an example to let the whole ship know what happens if they mess with you." She said, going over and grabbing a human-sized datapad that Skyraid gave her, "It's what he did last time."
