Never Again

41

Sorry for the wait. College sucks but at the same time I love it. Hope you enjoy this chapter! Let me know what you think! I'm taking an editing class/copyediting class (which is what I am thinking about doing for my career besides an author) and I will be going through my books to make sure everything is correct. 

~ Enjoy

Megatron stood still as he watched the scene around him. 

It was always a delight, looking back upon the very moment he had snuffed out the spark of one of Prime's commanding officers. Razorwing had always been trouble, right from the start of the war. 

The mech's knowledge was astute, and he left no room for error.

Megatron had to dispose of him. 

His optics roamed around the battlefield, taking in every little detail and taking note that they were just as he remembered. Nothing changed. Nothing was out of place. 

Razorwing paid for his insolence with the death of his femme, and Optimus lost one of his most trusted soldiers. An important role in the war that he'd immediately snuffed out. 

Despite all of this, all of this destruction he'd once smiled upon, Megatron now felt nothing but dread. 

He could feel optics on his back, and he knew exactly who it was before turning around. 

Soundwave was frozen. The same moment in time replayed over and over. The communications officer let his optics wander around his surroundings, taking in every detail. In the process of saving Lynlee, he'd barely noticed the destruction around him. 

Megatron nearly growled, realizing what the mech had done. He should have had Knockout watch them, but the anger he'd felt towards the human had been too great at the moment to order his doctor to do so.

That was his first mistake. 

Female screams echoed around them. Megatron's voice growled soon after, and then the screams continued. 

Megatron stood still with his servos folded neatly behind his back. Soundwave was not stupid enough to face him alone, he knew, but there was still that uncertainty. 

Forcing the doubt away, the large mech smirked as he raised his helm and turned, ready to face his third in command. 

Before he could blink, the warlord felt a claw grasp the back of his neck, jerking him forward and then back. A cry of surprise left him, but he immediately grasped the tentacle that was slowly wrapping around him. 

Soundwave had moved much faster than Megatron had expected, and was already staring down at him, optics blazing with hatred. He jerked in surprise at the lifted visor, but Soundwave gripped him tighter.

"I will snuff out your spark!" Soundwave snarled in anger.

Megatron choked as the mech yanked him back and threw him with far more power neither mech knew he possessed. He stood quickly, activating his energon blaster and making sure to block the blows coming his way.

But Soundwave was already pulling away from his former master's mind. 

He had every intention of fulfilling his promise. His new promise.

But first, he had to find Lynlee. 

Megatron had hurt his sire, his carrier, and now his human.

She could be dead by now. Suffering and in pain.

"Daddies got you."

"You are never leaving me."

He couldn't let that happen again. Soundwave couldn't bear to let her feel that sort of pain again. First, with her sire and now Megatron. The communications officer now knew and felt that same betrayal. 

Megatron was going to pay. Optimus Prime would not get the opportunity to end Megatron. 

Soundwave would make sure of it.

I feel like the chapter is all over the place to be honest but I got four hours of sleep last night and spent over six hours at my work surrounded by babies so I am drained XD. Hope you guys liked it have a good rest of the day/night wherever you are. (Please forgive spelling or grammar mistakes and just let me know in the comments if you don't mind.)
