A dubious ally

Bossbot

The green vortex opened at the landfill, from which the Soundwave came out. The Decepticon closed the earth bridge and sat down under his tent again, watching the cameras. As he had expected, neither the Autobots nor the humans noticed his absence. All that remains is to maintain the cover...

"Soundwave!" Bumblebee turned to him on the communicator "Have you finished repairing the Laserbeak?"

// Just finished with this //  the signalman replied

"Then can you approach Alchemor? " the leader asked

// Of course //

The spy got to his feet and headed for the ship, he decided not to use the bridge once again. The blue mech already knew why Bee had summoned him, but still asked him upon arrival:

// What happened? //

"The access codes that you gave Fixit and Danny didn't work" the lieutenant replied "We can't remove the device from the minicons"

// This is strange //  the Decepticon was "surprised" // Can I see it? //

"Yes, of course" the leader nodded

Soundwave walked up to the platform on which the black minicon was lying and briefly examined it for damage, then proceeded to hack the device. He fiddled with "choosing the right combination" for several minutes, until finally he turned off the control device and took it off the little bot's head.

Like Laserbeak, the black minicon did not react to anything for the first few seconds, and then abruptly got up and tried to escape. The signalman wanted to catch him, but the little Decepticon threw a shuriken at him. The spy barely managed to close himself off from the weapon that plunged into his manipulator, and at that time the minicon jumped off the platform and dived under a pile of scrap metal, where other big Cybertronians would not reach him.

"Slipstream, Jetstorm!" Drift called his students

// It's not worth it //  Soundwave stopped him // Leave him alone //

"Are you sure?"  Cyber samurai asked

The Decepticon nodded at him and pulled out a shuriken from his manipulator and began to examine it. The three-pointed star was painted with various patterns and several inscriptions in Cybertronian, which, unfortunately, were almost indecipherable due to scuffs and scratches. The blue mech threw the shuriken into the energon cube, causing it to split into pieces. The signalman took several small blue pieces and went to the shelter of the minicon. Soundwave threw one piece under a pile of scrap metal along with the black bot's weapon, and left the rest near the entrance, then approached the rest of the team.

He sighed with satisfaction when the little bot took some more energon, although he clearly wasn't going to come out. The Decepticon decided not to waste time in vain and proceeded to other minicons. He carefully picked up the yellow fembot and placed it on the platform. The spy periodically glanced at the pile of junk while removing the device from the second minicon, which is why it took a little longer.

Finally, he managed to free little femme, who came to her senses almost immediately. She screamed and almost fell off the platform in an attempt to escape, but Soundwave quickly caught her and sat her down on the platform again. The yellow femme broke free from his grip and covered her head with manipulators, activating a small force field around her. The first minicon got out from under a pile of scrap metal and attacked the signalman, but he caught it with one of his tentacles and lifted it over the platform.

// Calm down //  said the spy // We came in peace //

"Get off me!" the black bot shouted
