Soundwave's life on the Nemesis

Chapter 6: Flash into the past

Soundwave sighed, staring off into space, as he was finished with all his data pads, reports, maintenance, and whatever else you could think of.

"You know Soundwave..." Starscream's venomous voice, faded in from behind Soundwave.

Starscream slunk around infront of Soundwave, making sure the spys attention was on him. "If you are finished with your work here, please don't hesitate to leave..." Starscream smiled smugly.

Soundwave stared and gave a small head cock, before turning around and eagerly leaving Starscream to ponder in his own stupidity.

*Freaking ungreatful bastard... I do his work for him!* Soundwave grumbled as he almost stormed off into the med bay, too see what Knockout was up to.

"Woah, hello to you too Soundwave" Knockout chuckled, after Soundwave entered, almost running into him when the faceless youngling entered.

"Sorry... I wasn't paying attention..." Soundwave apologized with a sigh, as he followed Knockout to the middle of the room.

"No need to apologize Soundy, you didn't scratch anything" Knockout joked, while analyzing things on his monitor.

Soundwave gave an annoyed sigh, resting his arms on a near by medical berth, observing Knockout work.

"Starscream pissed you off again didn't he?" Knockout asked, reading that familiar pissed off body language the youngling radiated.

"Starscream's just an ungrateful piece of scrap, he dosen't even appreciate when I do his reports for him!" Soundwave hissed throwing his arm up in annoyance.

"You two have never gotten along, he's always been an annoying big brother to you" Knockout laughed, moving some equipment over to the other side of the room.

"Yeah don't worry I remember..." Soundwave internally rolled his optics.

Soundwave was only seven Earth months old, and was happily sitting playing with his favorite red ball, in the middle of the least busiest cooridor, that rarely had anyone walk through, Soundwave made sure he wasn't stopping the soldiers, from being able to rush up and down the halls.

Soundwave emitted a few happy clicks and chirps, as he rolled his red ball on the floor infront of him, he was too busy playing and being happy to notice the silver seeker roaming down the hallway coming towards him.

Starscream walked passed with his data pad in hand, wanting to annoy Soundwave, he ignored annoyinf Soundwave at first, before changing his mind at last minute.

Starscream quickly spun around, and kick the ball right out from under Soundwave's servo. "Don't play in the hallway!" Starscream yelled at Soundwave.

Soundwave gave a surprised chirp as the his ball flew out of his tiny servo and down the hallway.

Soundwave turned his helm, to see Starscream standing with a giant smug smile on his face plate, Soundwave stared at Starscream for a few moment's, before emitting a small whimper.

Starscream's smug smile quickly turned to a look of worry. *Primus what have I done...* Starscream thought to himself, knowing he would be punished for making Soundwave cry.

Soundwave then squealed in his piercing high frequency crying, causing Starscream's data pad to shatter in his own servo, and smash the remaining pieces as the debries hit the floor.

"Aaah Soundwave!" Starscream winced before grabbing hold of his helm, trying to muffle the high frequence crying.

"STARSCREAM DID YOU MAKE SOUNDWAVE CRY AGAIN!?" Megatron's gruff evil voice roared, from the closed door beside the two in the hallway.

"No lord Megatron!" Starscream replied, scooping Soundwave in his servos, and running him down the hallway to his ball.

"There's your ball stop crying!" Starscream panicked as he closed in on the ball, screeching to a halt a few steps away from the ball.

He quickly placed Soundwave down on the ground, and watched Soundwave happily gurgle as he toddled over to pick up his ball. "Ungrateful brat, your just as ungrateful as Megatron..." Starscream scoffed watching Soundwave pluck the ball off the ground, little did he know Megatron followed him down the hallway.

Blast! Starscream yelped as he was blasted from behind and thrown to the ground, by Megatron.

Megatron then plucked Soundwave off of the ground "Don't listen to Starscream, he knows nothing" Megatron hissed, rubbing the sparklings helm, receiving purrs from the faceless tiny sparkling.

Meanwhile Starscream groaned in pain on the floor, while Knockout came around the corner to retrieve Soundwave.

"Dare I even asked, what happened to poor Starscream?" Knockout sighed as Megatron handed Soundwave to Knockout.

"Hopefully this is the last time I have to teach Starscream, to not upset Soundwave" Megatron scoffed giving Starscream an evil glare.

"And to be honest I don't think you ever will get along, it's just the way it is" Knockout shrugged walking back to his monitor.

"You really think so?" Soundwave asked, resting his helm on one of his servos.

well, you're sound enough, but Starscream has always had that lust for power, you've alway's been Megatron's favorite, and when he gets to boss you around he lets the whole universe know, putting you thro..."

"Utter misery... I just hate him..." Soundwave growled, pushing off the medical berth.

"Soundwave just keep yourself cool, Megatron will see to his behaviour and put an end to it for a while, just remember, Starscream is here just for pure entertainment"

"Ha ha, yeah ok, thanks" Soundwave chuckled, internallys smilling at Knockout.

"Glad to have helped"

"Soundwave, there you are!" Starscream hissed as Soundwave stepped out of the med bay.

"We need you to come back and analyze the systems running" Starscream scoffed, gesturing back to the bridge of the ship.

Soundwave nodded and passively walked back to his post in the bridge.

*Of course you need me to do your sinple work that you're to lazy to do, sometimes I swear you're lazier then Megatron, when it come's to work* Soundwave scoffed to himself, as he started typing on an unoccupied monitor, Starscream watching closely, as he paced around the bridge, making sure everyone was working.

"Starscream!?" Starscream gasped and visibly jumped, to the sound of Megatron's deep growling voice, come on his comm.

"Yes lord Megatron?" Stascream gulped, hoping he wasn't in trouble for no reason.

"Do you have Soundwave with you?" Megatron asked with an annoyed sigh.

"Yes of course master, why do you ask?" Starscream asked, practically feeling Megatron roll his optics.

"Please send him to me imediately" Megatron hissed, ending the call.

"...Soundwave!" Stasrcream called, walking up the catwalk, back to the faceless youngling hard at work.

*Now what the frag, are you going to monologue about now...* Soundwave threw his helm back in annoyance.

"Oh shut up Soundwave!" Starscream grolwed, in response to Soundwave's annoyed body language.

*Did you seriously tell me to shut up, you stupid idiot, how much quieter can I get!?* Soundwave dropped his helm, then stared at Starscream like he was an idiot.

"Get your annoying youngling aft, in gear, our lordships wishes to see you, hopefully beat some sence into you!" Starscream snorted, waving Soundwave out the door.

*Oh you're sooooo lucky that I don't want to keep lord Megatron waiting, cause I'm about to go all superior on your ass!* Soundwave hissed, quickly leaving the premises Starscream was in.
