(Darkmount) Third Persons POV
"Lord Megatron" Shockwave says respectfully, bowing to Megatron.
"Shockwave! This is quite an unexpected turn. I thought you'd perished on Cybertron" Megatron tells him.
"Yes, as as did we all" Starscream adds.
"Reports of my demise were greatly premature. A pair of Autobots infiltrated my facility on Cybertron, sabotaging my space bridge. I gave chase but failed to accurately calculate the outcome. I awoke in the rubble, blinded. It soon became clear that I was marooned on our dead planet with no means of communication. In time, I repaired my wounds and resumed my experiments" Shockwave explains.
"The solitude enabled me to make tremendous advances in my research. Until one day, my instruments detected a massive surge of unidentifiable energy. I traveled to investigate its origin at the edge of the Sea of Rust, where I encountered your salvage team and the smoldering wreckage of the Omega Lock. But this was not the search party I had anticipated so long ago. Leaving one unanswered question. Why was I left for scrap, abandoned? Why?" Shockwave asks looking at Starscream. The others all look at him also.
"The the the explosion, it it collapsed the power-core chamber. The last thing anyone witnessed was you charging into the space-bridge portal. No one saw you come back out" Starscream explains.
"I find your reply to be logical" Shockwave states and Starscream relaxes.
"But you will be pleased to know that I avenged your seeming demise by personally terminating the Autobot Cliffjumper" Starscream declares.
"Careful, Starscream. You may dislocate a landing gear patting yourself on the back" Knockout drawls.
"As Megatron's First Lieutenant, allow me to welcome you back to the winning team" Starscream tells Shockwave.
"And allow me to clarify the new chain of command. While Starscream will retain authority over military operations, Shockwave will be my First Lieutenant in charge of all scientific endeavors" Megatron announces.
"Uh, so you are saying we shall each report directly to you?" Starscream asks.
"Affirmative" Megatron states.
"Completely logical, my liege" Starscream mutters as the other four leave the room.
"Shockwave, there is much to discuss" Megatron tells him. "One of which will be a new project for you" he states.
"What project?" Shockwave asks.
"There is a new Prime and she used to be human" Megatron explains.
"Such a thing is illogical" Shockwave states.
"Never the less, it is true. Knockout you will provide all the reports we have on Nahko Prime to Shockwave" Megatron orders.
"Of course Lord Megatron" Knockout says.
"Soundwave, any sign of Nahko Prime yet?" Megatron asks. Soundwave shakes his helm. "Very well, be sure to have Starscream remind the troops she is to be taken alive and undamaged. We must find a way to replicate what made her one of us" he states. "Which you will be in charge of Shockwave" he adds.
"Of course my liege, it is only logical as I am the first lieutenant of scientific endeavors" Shockwave states. "I'll need to transfer my lab over from Cybertron and set it up. Then I shall go through the data you have already collected on Nahko Prime" he tells me
"Excellent, Soundwave and Knockout can help you with whatever you require" Megatron tells him.
(With Miko and Bulkhead) Still Third Persons POV
Miko sighs, still no sign of Wheeljack. "I don't think he's coming" She tells Bulkhead.
"Don't worry, Miko every Wrecker knows the protocol. Jackie will show. If he's still kicking" Bulkhead assures her.
"Do you think Nahko got out?" Miko asks.
"Yeah, I'm sure she and Jazz are fine" he tells her. "Besides, your sister is strong and has a first lieutenant to watch her back" he reminds her. "Once Jackie turns up, we'll look for her and Jazz" he states. Miko smiles, she can't wait to be reunited with her twin.
(Underground) Nahko's POV
"I wonder how long we've been down here" Jazz musses.
"Don't know, I didn't think to ask Smokescreen before he left" I state. "Shouldn't he be back by now?" I ask him.
"I'm sure he's fine, he is tough" he assures me. Just then Smokescreen returns. "Told you he was fine" Jazz states.
"Good to see you awake" Smokescreen tells him as Optimus wakes again.
"Report?" Jazz asks him.
"I combed through every square micron of our old base. I couldn't find Ratchet's medical kit, not even a bandage" Smokescreen explains.
"Figures" Jazz groans.
"Any ideas Optimus?" I ask.
"The forge of Solus Prime" he states.
"It's gone, too. The 'Cons picked the place clean" Smokescreen explains. "Wait, if you had the Forge, you could fix yourself and Jazz up power of the Primes. Optimus, Jazz hang on just a little longer" he tells them. "That hammer's got to be somewhere in Megatron's fortress" he states.
"I don't think so" I tell him as he goes to leave. "Try the Nemesis first and please be careful" I tell him.
"Will do" he says and leaves.
"You didn't ask him how long we've been done here" Jazz reminds me.
"Doesn't matter" I tell him. "You both get some more rest, try to conserve your strength" I tell them. Both close their optics. I hug myself. "I hope Miko is having more fun then I am" I mutter. At least she probably isn't stuck under ground. I sigh and decide to get some rest myself. I lean back against the wall and let myself fall into recharge. Not knowing the danger Miko, Bulkhead and Wheeljack are about to face.
