Reunion [an Earthspark story]

Chaoter 19: Victory

The autobots arrived at the scene just in time as the others were getting overpowered. "About time, you fragging shown up!" Megatron yelled before getting tackled by more drones. Elita ran over to him, taking the drones out of him. "Sorry, Megs, we were trying to find a solution with WheelJack and-" They both ducked as a missile was sent their way. Megatron spoke up, "Tell me you at least found something that is helpful!" Elita rolled her optics as she got the last of the drones off him. "WheelJack might have found something." She said. A flicker of hope flashes through his optics. "Seriously!?" She nodded as more drones started coming their way. They both quickly blasted them away as the seekers tried to get their trine mate out of Sila's mind control. "C'mon ThunderCracker! Don't you remember us!" "Yeah! It's us! NovaStorm and Skywarp!" They both dodged a missile sent their way. ThunderCracker tackles Skywarp as they both crash onto the battlefield. "Must- DESTROY!" ThunderCracker prepared to launch another missile at Skywarp. NovaStorm grabbed his arm, redirecting it away from Skywarp and pointing it towards an empty part of the field. What Nova failed to see was StarScream that landed near that exact spot. She wasn't able tk ract in time as ThunderCracker launched the missile. "STARSCREAM LOOK OUT!" StarScream turned around, seeing the missile aiming for him. Without thinking, Megatron got in front of him, letting the missile hit him instead. "NOOOO!" StarScream looked over the injury as Megatron laid on the ground, energon pouring out of him. He would be lying if he said that he suffered through worst but seeing StarScream crying over him seemed to hurt him more. "You stupid idiot! Why did you do that!?" StarScream scolded him. Megatron smiled softly as his servo covered his injury. "I couldn't let you get hurt. I just reacted quickly." He said. StarScream glared at him as he looked back at the injury. "Does it hurt?" He asked. Megatron scoffed as he sat up. "I've been through worse, Star..." StarScream pouts as he returned the smile to him. "StarScream...?" StarScream aimed his gun at ThunderCracker, who held his hand up. "Don't come any closer! I don't want to hurt you, ThunderCracker..." ThunderCracker step back, raising his servos. "Why would I hurt you?" He asked. StarScream realized that he was no longer under Sila's control. "Brother!" Skywarp jumped him as NovaStorm came piling down on them. "Ack! Get off me! You're gonna break my cockpit- agh!" StarScream watched his brother get tackled by their trine mates as he felt a small tug. "You should join them." Megatron said. StarScream looks back at him and back to his group. "You're right... Thank you." Megatron looks at him confused. "For wha-" StarScream kissed him before he could continue. The kiss lasted for a brief second before StarScream pulled away, smiling. "You better stay alive when I come back." He took off to join his group as Megatron smirked. He really did love that idiot of his.

Soundwave watched as Illusion was pierced through her chest, cutting through one of her life lines. Illusion coughed out energon as she was held by Arachnid. "ILLUSION!" Frenzy yelled. Soundwave sent a sound blast at Arachnid, causing her to drop Illusion. Rumble quickly ran over to her, shaking her to wake up. "C'mon! Get up!" Arachnid quickly pounced on Illusion's body, her fangs charged with her poison. Soundwave quickly tackled her as Rumble kept trying to get Illusion to wake up. Frenzy and the other quickly joined as well. "GET UP!" She yelled. Ravage tried scratching her arm to wake up as Lazerbeak kept squaking loudly at her. She didn't seem to budge. "C'mon- GET UP!" Frenzy yelled. Rumble quickly got an idea. He got near her audio receptors, whispering. "If you don't wake up, I'm telling Arachnid about your crush on her-" Illusion quickly sat up, glaring down at him. "《I WILL DESTROY YOU!》" Soundwave flew past them, hitting against the wall. Illusion got up, ignoring the pool of energon she stood on. She quickly jumped Arachnid, pining her legs against the floor as Illusion glared down at her set of multiple optics. "《C'MON ARACHNID! WAKE UP! THIS ISN'T YOU!》" She yelled. Arachnid pushed her off, changing to her robot form. She lunged at her as Illusion grabbed her by the shoulders. Illusion avoided the spider legs that were trying to stab her as Arachnid snapped her jaws at her. "《CAN SOMEONE HELP ME!?》" Frenzy covered on of Arachnid's optics as the others grabbed onto her legs. Illusion kept pushing against Arachnid as she tried to get her off. "《SOUNDWAVE-》" She looks over, seeing Soundwave unconscious. "《Great...》" She looks up at Arachnid, still trying to bite her. "《....Yo guys! Cover your optics.》" "What? Why-" Frenzy quickly shut up as Illusion pulled Arachnid down, her lips pressed against hers. "EEEEEEWWWW!" Both twins covered their optics as Illusion pulled away. Arachnid blink twice before looking around, confused. "What the-" She looks down at Illusion, who was glaring at her. "《You gonna get off me?》" She asks. Arachnid helped her up as the minicons ran over to Soundwave. "Soundwave! Wake up!" Frenzy yelled. Rumble shook his helm, trying to wake him up. "C'mon pops! Don't leave me again..." Rumble tears up as he pressed his helm against Soundwave's chassis. He felt a servo rubbing his back. He looks up, seeing Soundwave staring down at him. "/I won't./" Rumble hugged him as Soundwave held him, tearing up as well. Frenzy joined in and so did the rest of their siblings. They all embraced each other until Illusion interrupts them. "《Aren't you missing someone?》" She asked. They all looked at each other before realizing who they're missing. "SHOCKWAVE!"

Shockwave was wiping away the red stain on his hand as he stumbled around the halls, looking for the others. He quickly lost his balance, falling forward. The warning signs kept popping up in his hud as his systems started to shut down. No, he can't die. He can't die like this. He heard the sounds of oedes along with some yelling. He saw a figure around the corner, a red visor glowing at the distance. His optic shut down as he quietly whispered....

"Soundwave..."
