Reunion [an Earthspark story]

Chapter 7: Training

Soundwave felt his face getting warmer by the second as Shockwave pulled him closer. "/we shouldn't-/" Soundwave hesitates as he looks around. "What's wrong? Aren't you well.... excited to know me better?" Shockwave slowly traces his hand down Soundwaves frame, sending shivers down his spine. Soundwave pulled Shockwave towards the barn as he quickly looks around one last time before closing the door behind him. Soundwave places his arms around Shockwave's neck as they both kiss passionately. Eventually, Shockwave dominates him as they both fall into the haystack and started their 'adult' activities.

Illusion was currently surrounded by 5 terrans as she tried to move around them. Oh, how she hated kids. She's currently struggling walking straight since both Jawbreaker and Twitch are grabbing onto her legs. "《BEE! I DEMAND YOU GET YOUR TEAMMATES OFF MY LEGS!》" Bumblebee looks towards her, snickering. "|They're my kids. Not teammates|" "《same thing》" She grabs Twitch by her foot and gives her to Bumblebee. "《So, where exactly am I sleeping?》" "|in the barn.|" She rolls her optics as she looks towards the barn. "《You all sleep in there?》" She asks. "|no, we have an underground base where we sleep, but we don't have enough room for you.|" Illusion rolls her optics. "《Perfect...》" She walks towards the barn, completely ignoring Thrash, who is holding onto her leg. She suddenly hears loud commotion coming from inside. "《 What the-》" She hears loud moaning and sounds of metal clanking against each other. "What's that noi-" "《NOPE》" She immediately grabs Thrash, covering his audio receptors as she walks away from the barn quickly. She quickly hands Thrash to Bumblebee and walks towards the clearing. "|what-|" "《I'm sleeping outside》" Bumblebee looks at Thrash confused.

It's already midnight, and Illusion was still awake, laying on the field. She was completely bored and didn't have the urge to sleep. She looks at the stars, remembering every constellation StarScream told her about. She sighs heavily as she sits up. She remembers all the times that she and StarScream would sneak out of the Nemesis to stargaze and try to find their planet among the stars. It seems those moments died a long time ago. She looks to her side to see her minicon recharging peacefully. She looks towards the moon, seeming to admire the beauty of that small rock. It's as beautiful as the moons on Cybertron. She quickly alerts her gaze towards Hazard, hearing her whimper and shake violently in her sleep. Illusion places a hand on her helm, rubbing it back and forth like a carrier does. Hazard calms down a bit as her body begins to relax at her comforting touch. Illusion lays down and places Hazard above her chassis. She sighs heavily one more time before falling into recharge. At least she had a reason to live for another day.

The next morning, Illusion woke up to see her two brothers staring down at her. "《What?》" "Why are you sleeping outside?" Prime asks, sitting down next to her. She looks towards the barn, making a grossed out face. "《Ya don't wanna know...》" She held Hazard close to her chassis, seeming scared of letting her go. Megatron sits next to her, seeming to share the same feeling. "Me and Prime have been talking about you staying here with the terrans and-" "《can you NOT remind me that I am stuck with them for the rest of my online?》" She grumbles. Prime places his hand on her shoulder. "We want you to teach them how to fight." She sits straight up, still holding Hazard. "《Repeat that please?》" She looks towards Megatron. "we want you to train them in fighting. They will need someone to teach them to fight properly. I mean, I would do it but I don't think I'll have spare time for it." Illusion looks towards Hazard, seeming rather nervous. "《Fine. I'll teach them, but my way.》" Illusion gets up, holding Hazard in her arms as she goes off to find the terrans. "I feel like we made a mistake." "A BIG one..."

Illusion looks towards the 5 terrans that are lined up in a straight line. "《Listen here kiddos. You'll be under my training and I have some rules you should follow.》" Twitch and Thrash look at each other nervously. "《Rule 1: No goofing around. This training is very serious as you will learn how to protect your comrades and yourself from any potential threat.》" She steps in front of both Twitch and Thrash in a military form. "《Rule 2: No complaining. I don't wanna hear any whining or complaining about how this training is very difficult. I'd like to remind you that this training is completely safer than what I went through.》" She walks towards Jawbreaker and Nightshade, both seeming completely nervous. "《Rule 3 and my most important rule: keep you comrades close. They will ALWAYS depend on you and you will depend on them for your life.》" The kids look at each other before looking back at Illusion. "《I will set up our training ground as Bumblebee will share some words of wisdom.》" She goes off, grabbing haystacks as the terrans gather around Bumblebee. "|welp- You kids shouldn't worry much. Her training is easy but it will get harder as she starts teaching how to fight with weapons and with your own special moves.|" Twitch looks over at Hazard, who is moving her digit across her neck, signaling her doom. Twitch gulps nervously.

Soundwave wakes up, his body on top of Shockwave's. He gets off him, rubbing his sore hip. He looks towards the entrance, seeing sunlight shine through the door crack. He stands up, feeling his legs threatening to give up on him. He walks out for the barn, only to see a small training ground made of haystack and seeing the terrans trying to complete an obstacle course. He (slowly) walks towards both Bumblebee and Illusion who are observing the terrans trying to cooperate with each other. "|oh, hey Soundwave!|" Bumblebee waves at him as Soundwave walks right next to him. "/what is going on here exactly?/" "《training. What else?》" She looks at Soundwave and back at the terrans. "《You should wash yourself Soundwave. You have some purple paint on your aft.》" Soundwave blushes madly as he covers his aft from behind.

"/thanks for the warning.../"
