Rise | Transformers Prime fanfic

Chapter 123

"Lord Unicron."

The god turned around to see the one he had named Poet bow before him with two other female humans behind him, also bowing. "Ah, I see you brought your friends, Poet. I hope I can put my trust in you and them." Poet nodded as he stood up, the women copying him.

"Tell me, new humans, what can you provide me in this new era?" Unicron asked as he slowly approached, servos folded behind his back.

"Technology." The black haired one said, blowing her hair out of face. "Oh? Better than the ones I have now?" Unicron questioned with doubt in his voice as he motioned to area of the ship they were standing in.

The girl smirked. "Way better. Can anything in this ship track Cybertronians across the galaxy with amazing accuracy?" She asked, which got a smirk out of Unicron before he turned to the other one; a white haired girl with a blank expression on her face.

"And you...what can you give me?"

The girl smirked.

"A way to revive your dead planet."

June grunted as she struggled to climb up the tall desktop like structure where Soundwave was usually at almost 24/7, but she was at the moment somewhere else that Unicron had ordered her to be.

After being able to speak with Megatron for the time that Unicron had limited Soundwave to, June found out what the third in command had offered was something very valuable.

Her loyalty.

After leaving Megatron's room, Soundwave was silent again and was sent a small corner of the room where a desk like structure was with a large Cybertronian computer for her to work. And she spent her days and nights there, typing away all the time it seemed like, gathering information for Unicron.

June knew that Soundwave wasn't doing it because she wanted to, but doing it for the good of her team, but it still didn't mean she agreed with Soundwave's choice.

The black haired women pulled herself onto the desk with a grunt and paused as she stood up to catch her breath. She looked at the screen then to the Cybertronian letters on the keyboard with a sigh.

"Well this was useless." She grumbled as the door suddenly opened and she tensed. She turned and was relieved to see Soundwave coming back in with a half finished Energon cube.

Even with the visor on, June could tell Soundwave was surprised to see her on the desk. The femme approached quickly with a shake of her helm as she set her cube down.

"Do you—know what he'll do—to you?" Soundwave asked through her recordings as she grabbed June and put her on the ground. "I have questions." June said to Soundwave while looking up at her.

Soundwave cocked her helm as June breathed out. "Unicron hasn't gone to Cybertron yet...why not? He wants to rule both, so why hasn't he just gone to take it?" June asked. Soundwave looked away toward the door before looking back at June.

"Fear."

June looked surprised. "What does he have to fear?" June asked and Soundwave turned back to the screen she always stared at and relaxed her shoulder plates.

"His father."

The golden optics of the mech glistened as he watched the Cyber Wolves 'play' with the humans, tossing them in their paws and snapping at them to make them scream in fear, except one of them, who was sitting and watching with a look on its face.

The two bullying the humans snickered and walked off with the other one following a moment later.

The golden optics followed them and the mech let out a growl before slowing and sneakily following them alongside the cliff.

"Humans. Easily frightened. I head you could scare some to death." The gray Cyber Wolf barked and the white and gray one next to him chuffed. "I don't doubt that. The horror on their faces as we paw them is quite the look for them."

The gray looked back at the white wolf behind them. "Snownose, why don't you play with the humans?" 'Snownose' shrugged with a nervous look on his face. "It's just...not my lap of Energon."

"Do you know enjoy what Alpha and Lord Unicron have given us?"

"What? No! It's not that! I just don't see the—"

"You don't see how you should be grateful for what we have conquered? These humans are nothing." The gray one turned sharply to Snownose and the gray and white one soon followed with a snarl.

"This is the fourth time you have denied our new ways of entertainment, Snownose."

"It's not entertaining if they'll pleading for help."

"Well it will be entertaining watching you plead for mercy when we tell Alpha of your ungratefulness to his ways!" The gray one raised a paw to swat Snownose but his optics suddenly widened with a shape sound of metal scraping metal.

The gray and white wolf jumped back in surprise along with a Snownose as they both watched the gray wolf collapse with Energon pouring from a wound on his neck.

"What in the—" the gray and white wolf stopped as a tail came from the shadows and slashed his throat open. He choked for a moment before collapsing to the ground and stiffening.

Snownose shook as a figure dropped from a hole in the ceiling, growling low in disgust. It turned slowly and Snownose whispered as he recognized the figure.

"A Predacon?" He gasped as the creature came closer slowly. Snownose lowered himself to his belly out of fear, praying to Primus it would be a quick and painless death. But was surprised with the Predacon transformed in front of him, his optics widening.

The Predacon kneeled down, golden optics stern and cool.

"I require your help."
