Wavering Mind (Tranformers Prime fic)

Chapter 24

Karly's POV:

When the ground bridge started up Ultra-Magnus's group disappeared into it first, and after several minutes Arcee's group went in, and quickly following suit was my group.

Surprisingly Megatron allowed me to sit in his hand as he, Knockout ran through the heavily guarded base, destroying equipment as they went. Buzzsaw flew above us, shooting at any humans that got in the way.

I had no problem with that.

Megatron, with Knockout at his side ran through the halls, avoiding blasts and shooting the drones in the way as well as humans, but not killing them, strangely enough.

I knew this would be an easy rescue, I mean I had the Autobots and 2 ex-Decepticons on my side against crappy drones made by humans, as well as soldiers.

That doesn't mean that we can get careless and cocky.

Cause when that happens, everything tends to go wrong.

My thoughts wander to Soundwave.

I hope they didn't damage him badly.

Because if they did…Well they won't like it.

As Megatron runs, he transforms in free arm into a blaster before firing at the door Buzzsaw lead us to. As soon as it fall my eyes zero in on a form strapped down to a large examining table, causing my heart to speed up with worry and excitement, when I realize who it is.

Soundwave.

He was securely strapped down, his screen was cracked, and it looked like he had several dents and scuffs in his armor, but other than that I couldn't see much of anything else.

I have Megatron set me down, before I run to Soundwave's, knocking out the scientists in the room as they try to flee. Before I clamber up to his side, I release the holds on Soundwave by firing off the blaster Arcee gave me. With that done, I clamber up onto his chassis, before tapping on his visor gently but enough to catch his attention if he was lightly unconscious, worry and fear gripping my heart as I tap his visor.

"Soundwave!" I call.

Nothing.

"Sounds?" I question again this time louder.

Still nothing.

Looking around I see several burn marks from electricity prods on his side, as well as a gash that was leaking energon. Anger fills me seeing the damage done to Soundwave, and I climb down before looking to Megatron, whom was waiting on me.

"Get him out of here, Knockout you stay with me." I say.

They nod, before Megatron quickly lifts Soundwave up, and storms out of the room and soon out of this base.

"Knockout, contact the others and tell them to leave." I say.

He nods, before looking to me after he does his task.

"Now what?" He questions resting a hand on his hip.

I grin darkly before waving him closer, once he's bent down to my level I whisper in his ear, and he grins wickedly.

"Smart femme, I like it." He purrs.

I grin, before the both of us get to work on the machines in the room. One we've finished, Knockout transforms into his alt, before opening his door for me, and quickly I crawl in, before Knockout speeds through the halls, before exiting the base.

Seeing the ground bridge portal, he quickly drives into it before pulling to a stop at Megatron's feet. Once in the safety of the cave, Knockout pops his door open and I climb out, before grinning as I grip an object in my hand.
