Blasted Autobot scum!

-A few days later-

After you finally talked to Soundwave and figured out that he was your true master, you never left his side. You went with him everywhere, even if it was just a quick stroll to the communications room.

Megatron didn't mind you that much, he mostly tried to ignore you when you weaved in between his legs trying to get his attention. The other Decepticons were a little scared of you, and you wanted them to be scared of you. You wanted them to know that you were not one to trifle with.

It was a normal day on the Nemesis and you were busy laying at Soundwave's pedes, rasping your glossa over your paws gingerly. Your tail flicked to and fro as you yawned and lounged around.

Soundwave would pause every now and then to pet you or speak to you, but he mostly focused on his work. You didn't mind, as long as you got to recharge at his pedes.

You had just closed your optics when you felt Soundwave scratch behind your audial to wake you up. You parted your mandible in a yawn, arching your backstrut as you rose from the floor. "What is it?" You mumbled, scratching behind your audial with your hind paw.

"Lord Megatron commands a mission to be taken. Retrieve relic is top priority." Soundwave replied, standing back up and glancing at the computer screen.

"Alright then, I'll finally get to test my claws on some Autobot scum.." You hissed, flexing your long claws and scraping them across the floor. You hadn't used those for battle in centuries, and they were itching to dig into some metal.

"Maintain overconfidence." Soundwave muttered, almost chuckling as he strode out of the room.

You rolled your optics and sighed, trotting after him quickly.

He paused in the hallway as his calculations set up a groundbridge to the destination. The portal appeared before you and he walked in first.

Having never seen a groundbridge appear by a mech before, you were skeptical. But Soundwave was your master, you trusted him with your life. You shrugged, following him into the swirling portal with a swish of your tail.

-Relic dig site-

You hopped out of the portal after Soundwave, your optics darting around the area before you. You glanced up at him and he nodded.

"Y/N, commence scouting the surrounding area for Autobots. Return when finished." Soundwave droned, pointing at the woods nearby.

"Got it, I'll be sure to welcome any guests I find.." you sneered, darting off into the forest.

Soundwave watched you for a few seconds before turning his attention to finding and retrieving the relic.

You pushed through thorn bushes and thick undergrowth, your olfactory sensor picking up multiple interesting scents. But one stood out from the rest. The unmistakable stench of Autobots.

You wrinkled your snout in disgust as you followed the scent through the forest diligently. You came upon a clearing and you ducked behind a bush, just barely peeking your head out to get a better look.

There were three Autobots standing there: one that was tall with red and blue paint, one that was short with blue paint, and one that was medium sized with orange and white paint. Their ugly colors hurt your optics and you hissed, desperately wanting to attack them.

"No.. I must wait and see what they are doing.." you mumbled to yourself, your audials listening intently to their conversation.

"Optimus, my scanners indicate that the relic is located somewhere in this area. But I can't pinpoint where..." the orange and white one, who looked to be a medic, muttered under his breath. He held a scanner in his hand as he tried to get it to work.

You grinned, an idea popping into your head. If you stole that scanner, they wouldn't be able to track the relic and Soundwave could reprogram it to track other things.

You stealthily stalked around them in the bushes, slowly growing closer and closer. While they were distracted by their conversation, you made your move.

You lunged out of the bushes, snatching the scanner from the medic's hand with your jaws. "I'll take that!" You snarled, landing on your paws and arching your backstrut.

"Hey! Get that thing!" The short blue Autobot shouted, pulling out her blasters and firing at you.

You easily dodged her blasts, cackling as you dashed off into the woods.

"Optimus, What are we going to do?" The medic exclaimed, watching you run off.

The one called Optimus frowned, his battle mask sliding over his mouth. "Stay here, I will give chase." He commanded, beginning to run after you.

You darted this way and that, trying to lose the Prime as he gained ground on you. Your scanners indicated that Soundwave wasn't too far ahead of you. All you had to do was make it to him.

Suddenly, something landed in front of you and deployed a net, tangling you up in it. You hissed in frustration, slamming into the ground and clawing at the net.

The Prime caught up to you, breathing heavily as he strode towards where you were caught.

"Let me go, you insignificant brute! I'll tear you apart!" You spat, your tail lashing with anger as you struggled to get out. The air was knocked out of your vents when he placed his pede down on your side, pinning you hard.

"That's enough. You can choose to either come quietly or I will be forced to use other ways." The Prime growled, his tone harsh.

"What are you gonna do? Put a leash on m—ACK!" Your body convulsed as an electric shocker jolted through your systems. You went into stasis almost immediately, your frame going limp in the net.

The Prime grunted, lifting the net and slinging it over his shoulder. He carried you along with the scanner back to his companions, who were eagerly awaiting his return.

Meanwhile, Soundwave had no idea where you were or what happened to you. The Autobots were going to be in for some trouble once he found out, though.
