Forgotten Soul

Unexpected Alliance

  Everyone was getting ready for a fight when a panicked Soundwave ran through the room and they looked at him.

  "Greywolf is missing," Soundwave spoke emotionlessly and everyone rushed through the entire ship to find the missing sparkling. Unfortunately, no one could find him aboard the ship.

    "Starscream to Nemesis," a com call came through, and Soundwave answers.

  "Starscream, Greywolf is missing," Soundwave fights back tears.

  "I have him in my sights. Arachnid took him and I'm in pursuit," Starscream replied and Soundwave softly sighs in faint relief before leading vehicons to help Starscream.

  Starscream fires at Arachnid's tail end to stop her but she barely dodges in time. The seeker growls as the spider taunts him.

  "Is that all you got? It's like you're not even trying to get this mutt back," she smirks.

  "Don't call him a mutt!!!" Starscream fires again and hit her tail end, sending her down to the ground. She quickly transforms once she got close enough and brought out her other legs, holding a squirming Greywolf

  "Hold still, brat," she hisses and he bites her arm. Arachnid snarls and and claws his face, leaving deep scratches from the middle of his snout down to his neck. Greywolf screams in pain, alerting the Autobots from nearby. They ran over to see Arachnid licking the energon from her fingers and energon trailing down Greywolf's body.

  Optimus shot Arachnid in the back, making her drop the sparkling. Starscream leaps in and caught the sparkling just in time from bashing his helm into the rocky ground. The Autobots fired at Arachnid, making her scramble away, and Optimus walks over to Starscream who held Greywolf close.

  "Is the little one alright?" Optimus asked.

  "Why should I tell you?" Starscream snaps. Greywolf weakly waves at Optimus.

  "Oppy," Greywolf smiles before passing out and Starscream blinks.

  "I don't know for sure but our medic will fix him right up," Starscream said and Optimus nods.

  "We will delay Arachnid so you can get the wolf back to your medic," Optimus said and Starscream nods then transforms and flies off, informing Soundwave and his team that the Autobots were taking care of Arachnid and that Greywolf was injured.

  Soundwave growls and attacks Arachnid as Starscream got Greywolf to the med bay and Knockout quickly got to work with Breakdown helping him. Starscream ran out then joins the fight to defeat Arachnid.

  The spider snarls and disappears into the ground, drilling her way to safety. Starscream fired one of his rockets into the ground, destroying most of it. The Autobots watched as Starscream hugs Soundwave, making sure he knew that Greywolf was going to be alright.

  "Thank you for protecting my son," Soundwave said to the Autobots.

  "We hope he will survive and live a good life," Optimus said and Soundwave nods. The Autobots leave through a groundbridge and the Decepticons flew back to the Nemesis. Soundwave went straight to the med bay, Starscream in tow, and watched as Knockout finished fixing up Greywolf's wounds.

  "He will have scars there," Knockout said softly and Soundwave gently picks his little wolf up, gently rocking him. Greywolf cuddles into his sire's chest and sleeps peacefully.
