From Teens to Sparklings

Chapter 8 Scheming on the Nemesis

Megatron rested his chin on his servo, thinking. One of the Vehicons that had been sent to retrieve energon from the mine had brought back some most intriguing news. Two sparklings had been found in the mine, alone. But it seemed the Autobots had taken them in, as the Vehicon had been attacked. They had foolishly forgotten about the drone, thus allowing it to return to the Nemesis.

Honestly, Megatron was deeply confused. How had two sparklings survived this long alone? How had they ended up on this miserable planet? Were there more? He wanted answers.

"Soundwave! I require your presence immediately." he said, voice as cold as ever.

A few moments later, the faceless Decepticon wordlessly walking towards his lord. He lifted his head slightly, showing that he was listening. Megatron stood from his throne.

"It appears that we have been presented with a most surprising opportunity. Two sparklings have been spotted, possibly the last sparklings. Unfortunately, they currently reside with the Autobots. I want you to scan any area with Autobot activity for sparklings. Find and retrieve them by any means necessary." he ordered.

Soundwave didn't move for a moment, wings dropped slightly out of shock. Finally, after a moment, he raised a clawed hand to his face, and did something Megatron had only seen him do a few times.

He flipped up his mask.

Brilliant white optics stared at Megatron, shock written all over his scarred, pale grey face.

"Sir... this isn't some cruel joke, right? Megatronus i swear to Unicron and Primus if you are lying..." he said, ice filling his broken voice.

Megatron blinked in honest surprise before scowling.

"Really Soundwave, do you think so little of me? I'm not Starscream for Unicron's sake! Now get going before i throw you off of this ship!" he snarled, pointing towards the exit.

Soundwave stood there for a moment, piercing optics searching Megatron's own, before he flipped his mask back down and left as soundlessly as he had arrived.

Starscream hid behind the doorway, listening in on the conversation. His red optics narrowed.

"Hmmm... I thought for sure the explosion had killed them all. Oh well, it's just two more inferior beings i get to torture before i snuff their sparks." he said to himself, a small grin forming on his face as he walked towards the runway.

He had some sparklings to hunt.

Oof short chap i know im sorry but i promise the next one will be longer and will be coming very soon!
