Chapter 14: A Return

"I'll be in Soundwave's quarters, if you don't mind." You said

"As long as you won't do anything that can detect the warship's signal." He said

"You mean like what happened last time, without anyone noticing." You replied, with a mocking tone in your voice as you walk towards your sparkmate's quarters.

You eventually made it to his quarters, but noticed a rectangular stasis pod near his door. As you walked closer, you saw the Decepticon logo on the top of it. You decided to take it inside and try to figure out what's in it.

After a few hours of just watching the stasis pod, you were called to go to the command center by one of the vehicon troops. As you made your way there, you saw Dreadwing with Megatron, with a disappointed look on his face.

"You didn't get the Apex Armor, while you were with the Prime?!" Megatron said.

"The Apex Armor is indestructible, once he had worn it. Not even Prime can defeat him." Dreadwing said.

"Who had the Apex Armor?" You asked

"Starscream." Dreadwing said "And he still has it."

"Anyways, there's this stasis pod in Soundwave's quarters, but I didn't dared to open it." You said

"Oh, and how will I know this is not a trick of yours?" Megatron asked

"Since when did I say something that isn't real?" You asked him, mostly mockingly.

"Very well." He replied.

Right then, Soundwave came in with a cracked visor. This concerned you as you ran towards him.

"What happened to you?" You asked quietly, as you rubbed his crack visor.

"Wheeljack, put up a bit of a fight, but I didn't hurt him as much." He replied with his recordings. "Though Laserbeak doesn't look alright."

"Did you retrieved the relic, Soundwave?" Megatron asked.

Soundwave lifted his servo, only to show the Resonance Blaster. Obviously he retrieved the relic, unlike Dreadwing. Megatron took it from his servo and examined it.

"Ah, the Resonance Blaster, crafted by Decepticons Scientists. You did well in retrieving the relic, Soundwave. Unlike Dreadwing here, who managed to loose the Apex Armor to Starscream." Megatron said.

"What does it do, anyway?" You asked

Megatron points the blaster to you and shoots. Soundwave pulled you close to him, letting you avoid the blast and ending up blasting one of the vehicon troop to the wall.

"Sound waves, quite fitting for you, Soundwave." You said with a sly look of your face.

"Now as long as Knockout succeeds,-" he was cut off when the door opened.

The one who came in was Knockout, who is covered with scratches and dirt all over him. In this, you silently laugh at his appearance, for you know he is very much upset.

"Can you believe what the Autobots have done to ME?!!!" Knockout said

"Did you retrieve the relic?" Megatron asked

"Sadly no."

"Then you can look your very best in examining Laserbeak."

In this you, Megatron, Soundwave and Knockout went to the medical bay. Knockout scanned Laserbeak, who is on Soundwave's chassis.

"Well, What is it?" Megatron asked

"An obstruction of some sort." Knockout said as Soundwave got out of the berth.

He released Laserbeak, only to be landed in your arms as Knockout opened it. What was inside was a grenade, ready to explode. Clever.

"GRENADE!!!" Knockout said as he dramatically dropped on the floor, covering his helm.

"What a drama queen." You chuckled as you commented on his action.

"Ah, very clever. Knockout, kindly make sure that this is disposed out of the ship immediately and come meet us in Soundwave's quarters."

Knockout did what he was told as you three went to the quarters. As you made it there, the stasis pod was still there.

"A stasis pod, build for mini-cons." Megatron said, "Soundwave, please open the pod so we may see what's inside of it."

Soundwave walked closer to the pod and opened it, only to reveal a metallic cat inside of it.

"I see, welcome home. Ravage." Megatron said as the mini-cons started to open its eyes.

As it got up, it recognized Soundwave as it let's him pet the top of its head. Ravage then noticed you and started to walk around you, like it was looking for something.

"Uh, what's it doing?" You asked

"It looks like Ravage seems to be having an interest in you, my dear." Megatron said

"I told you to not 'my dear' me, Megatron!" You shouted

Right the. Knockout came in, having another quote of explosion on him.

"You asked me to come here." He said.

"Yes, kindly examine Ravage for us. And return him to Y/n shortly." Megatron said. "Soundwave, if we must have the upper hand against the Autobots, decoding the Iacon database must be your top priority, and don't worry about your sparkmate, she will be with you along with Ravage."

In this, Soundwave nodded. Knockout was done examining Ravage as it went back to you, only to be attached to your back, which caused you t be surprised.

"What just happened to Ravage?" You asked

"Well, like how Laserbeak is attached to Soundwave on his chassis, Ravage is attached to you, only on your back." Knockout explained

"So even if I am in my vehicle form, Ravage is still fine?"

Knockout just nodded.

"This is something to get use too." You mumbled

Later on, Soundwave was starting to decode the Iacon database, with the help of his tentacles. You were both in the same room, which has a giant screen and keyboard. You didn't want to exhaust your sparkmate, so without any choice, you decided to help him decode as you activated your screenplate and brought out your own tentacles as you placed them on the keyboard. Soundwave questioned your actions as he looked at you. You told him that you didn't want him to exhaust him and decided to give him a assist. Like they used too. Soundwave smiled underneath his cracked visor as you both continued on your works.

"Unexpected, but I'm sure that they'll both be able to decode the Iacon database than you know, Knockout." Megatron said as he stands outside the door.

"Yes, we are fortunate to have them both here." Knockout said "And we're lucky that she's finally cooperating."

"And do care to fix Soundwave cracked visor would you." He said as he walked away.

Meanwhile with the Autobots. Rafael was able to download the Iacon database to the mainframe of the computers, which made Ratchet happy, but out of all four coordinates of where the relics where, they only got one, which is from New York. Not only that, Bulkhead got injured in returning back through the ground bridge. Everyone was concerned for him, especially Miko. This day wasn't just a somewhat successful, but it also cause worries for nearly loosing a member of the team.

Announcement:
Hey guys! So since my exams are finally finished, it is now my semestral break for a week after this. Meaning I might have some time in updating this book.

Though thank you for the votes on this book and I am happy to see that there are a 100+ reads already on this book. Not to mention I only started this just this month. That's all for today.
