Chapter Text

The Autobots had a certain rule it wasn’t an official one but everyone followed it for fear of what would happen if they didn’t. You see their leader was like a ticking time bomb with Megatron being the trigger….Ratchet flinched as he heard the screams coming from the other room.

While they all follow the golden rule sometimes someone slips up and that not would be taken to Optimus’s torture room. It’s this bot's second time in it so it Was a 70/30 chance of survival. Ratchet just had to hope that Mirage was one of the lucky 30%.

He remembered what caused the rule to take place in the first place. Cliffjumper was a bit overzealous and shot at the Decepticon leader during an important battle…Optimus’s Blank expression he remembered Cliffjumper being dragged to the hidden room…he remembered the mini bot being dragged into his med bay the next morning arm ripped off and
Leaking Energon like no tomorrow. He remembered how scared Cliffjumper had been when the others questioned what had happened he remembered how often Cliffjumper avoided Optimus’s gaze and stayed near the spec ops trio. He remembered all the incidents after that and everyone decided to just avoid harming Megatron…infact just stay away from Megatron. Period

There are few who never stepped into Optimus’s torture room them being jazz, bumblebee and the entire Medbay. I soon concluded it was because the spec ops team work mostly in security and surveillance as well as undercover missions so it would be less Likely for them to face Megatron at all. In fact, if it weren’t for Mirage’s temper he would have most likely had the same luxury as the other spec ops members. For him and the other medics it was simply because they mostly worked in medical fields and don’t often enter the battlefield.

“The mission was going quite well at first” Prowl told me his voice low and solemn this has become a routine at this point Prowl would give me a run down at what happened and would tell me what caused the ‘incident’. “Jazz and Bumblebee are currently pacing in the main hall considering Optimus’s temper this past deca-cycle they fear this would be the last time they will see their division member” he informed me I sighed spec ops numbers were all ways low in order to keep their division a secret. it was prime’s order before he went all mad…. So you would often see the trio planning to make up for it. “You know Mirage is strong he will survive” I told him getting all my tools out who knows what prime is doing to the poor bot

“Back to my mission report”…. Prowl continued I sighed listening in to the report since Prime was….busy Apparently Megatron was about to kill Jazz and Mirage shot him to protect his boss… poor bot doesn't deserve this. Prowl soon left the room eyes showing slight fear as Optimus came into the room covered in energon….”Mirage is dead Ratchet I require you to get rid of the body” I sigh and nod but before I leave I look at Optimus “If I may Optimus….perhaps you could capture Megatron…we could stop having these incidents you could keep him safe or whatever” I say flinching expecting to get hit and brought to the room myself but to my surprise Optimus was smiling clearly taking a liking to my idea “thank you for your advice old friend I will take it into account” Optimus walked off probably to announce Mirages death to the rest of the arc.

Oh well time to get rid of a body. I sighed just another part of a routine

It started of as jealousy for his replacement why did this mech get his old position and act like everything is fine after he, STOLE. From, him he was thrown into the trash as his old bosses cherished this ‘soundwave’

It was quite ridiculous so he badmouthed the viewers once on camera an honest mistake! He honestly couldn’t see what soundwave had and he didn’t. Sure as soon as he was fired people watched the station again. Sure Soundwave is much more popular than him! It didn’t mean anything! It just meant Soundwave was a two-faced mech! Blaster nodded to himself Soundwave probably bad-mouthed the audience too.

He looked at the tv in disdain as Soundwave gave reports on the happenings of cybertron resisting the urge to throw a can at the tv…he already did it the past three solar cycles….he just got this tv. Blaster wondered if he should just turn the tv off and go practice m and he decided yes that would be better than looking at this glitch on the tv. Hey he could not find themself getting up like he was caught in a trance mocking everything the mech on screen did.

He headed his cassettes sigh at him they were right it’s time to practice. His ears perked up after hearing his name.

[“soundwave what do you think of your predecessor Blaster?”]

Blaster groaned it was probably going to be some sweet Mumo jumbo soundwave always did like taking the high road.

[“while I believe his judgment on our viewers are far from the truth….I believe he was a good anchor and did his job extremely well I heard he’s making a name for himself in the music industry! You should listen to one of his singles or albums they’re really good-!” ]

He thrown his energon cube at the screen in anger he didn’t need handouts he didn’t need soundwave’s help he was fine on his own with his cassettes. He went to go practice his music If soundwave said it’s good then it has to be bad.

————————————-

A deca-cycle later ( 3 weeks )

He found himself watching the irritating Soundwave again not from the tv this time no.. from the streets he was taking his cassettes on a night out and I don’t know what came over me but I followed…he seemed so happy with his cassettes. One of the few things they had in common Blaster supposed. He was quite angry when he found out that the other mech acted similarly to his on-screen persona there has to be something that would get him as hated as he is-was ever since that ‘promotion’ soundwave gave him his music has gotten more popular. He hated that his replacement is helping him like this. Before he knew it Blaster found himself following the anchor home and taking note of the address it's not like it will have any effect on his everyday life it was a one-time thing following Soundwave.

——————————————————————-

It had an effect on his everyday life. He found himself following his replacement everywhere even to his old work he didn't know why he was so obsessed with the anchor he honestly didn't know. It's been awhile since this had started and he found himself liking mild things about the replacement. Blaster shook his head watching sound wave interact with one of their friends shadow striker I think their name was I often found their interactions disgusted him why was this low life touching HIS soundwave .…his soundwave he liked the sound of that.

He still hated his replacement but no one else should be allowed to touch him. See him that right should belong to only him when he will be torturing sound wave for destroying his life. a sentiment his cassettes agreed with.

————————————————————————

A decacycle later his cassettes came back with one of his Siundwaves cassetes In their mouth his trap was set as laserbeak called for help he prepared the tranquilliser he bought of the nevermind that now his target and his other cassette found Laserbeak. I quickly fired the weapon that would render his target motionless. But missed as the other cassette jumped in the way. He saw sound wave pick up ravege and calling both of his cassettes back before making a run for it. I smirked I know that Soundwaves transformation was useless in this situation and chased after firing my weapon again once he thought he got to safety the bullet forced him into his other form so now he was a small box.

—————————————————————————-
Soundwave woke up still half in recharge until he remembered the circumstances before hand and quickly got up again I realised I was in my music player form and quickly transformed back…only to feel a chain suddenly clamp around his leg he looked around in fear what if something happened to his cassettes…! “Hello replacement..” I turned towards what I assume is the only exit only to see Blaster standing there with a smug look on his face I looked at him with anger and confusion ‘why am I here is he the one who did this to me?!’ I thought inside my processor “you know replacement I’ve waited a long time for this…” Blaster said slowly approaching me with a weapon in hand he slowly approached me and I tried to access my defence mechanisms only to find out they wouldn’t work. Scrap is this how.I die trapped in my predecessors most likely basement?!

I felt the knife dig into my shoulder and I screamed.

—————————————————————————-
A solar cycle passed I think? I’m not sure the chain attached to my leg seems to stop me from transforming after the torture session from last night I had the words ‘belongs to blaster’ carved into my chassis I felt stuck I couldn’t access any weapons I couldn’t even activate my cassettes I felt like pit….I hope I find a way to escape soon
——————————————————————————-
Another couple of solar cycles passed and I knew I looked like pit my own energon staining me I heard the door open and saw Blaster there as usual I tried to move away to a corner but I couldn’t I tried last solar cycle and he broke my legs as ‘punishment’ yea right as if he wasn’t going to hurt me anyways “hello sounders~ enjoy your nap of course you did!” I growled at the way Blaster was acting as if he hadn’t broke my leg just last solar cycle. “Let’s have some fun replacement~”
——————————————————————————
Just as I was getting used to the routine Blaster seemed to have he changed it up why is he acting so strangely I wish I could move out of the arms that are currently holding me in a mock form of affection….” you know sweetspark I’m really sorry for how I’ve been treating you….it took me a while but I realised I don’t hate you I love you…I can’t let anyone else even look at you….but that doesn’t mean you should be confined to this room as of Tomorrow you're moving into our new room~” the Mech sighed as Soundwave attempted to stop himself from whimpering. What did I do to deserve this.…
——-
Life out of the basement was confusing Blaster acted as if he was my spark mate… I wasn't allowed to go into the kitchen or leave the house he often took to cuddling me on the berth…. I-i have to get out of here I feel like if I say the wrong thing I would never be able to speak again.

———————————-
I almost had it I almost escaped but Blaster caught me when I woke up I was in his berth my leg chained to a leg of the bed. I tried to speak but nothing came out of my mouth “oh sweet spark.…you tried to leave me if I cant trust you at home this was the only option..” I heard from behind me…i feel arms wrap around my waist I begin to panic “I'm sorry about your voice box but you had to be punished love..” he continued. “Oh I love you replacement…. I don't know why I ever hated you…” I wanted go scream but I couldn't.….

Shockwave sighed when he felt the glare of bumblebee on his back. “Don’t look at me like that little bee you and I both know it was either this or me killing you”. shockwave told the bot who was uncharacteristically quiet. shockwave walked towards the small bot in my true form. The small bot has stasis cuffs on that made him sluggish and had a long chain connected to the post of the berth that would allow them to move around shockwaves room. “Come now where's your loud personality sweetbee?” The other mech stopped glaring at him and walked towards to the couch and TV.

shockwaves optic looked at bumblebee if he had a mouth he would be smiling at him at him “perhaps you would like to watch an earth movie I know you were a fan of those?” Shockwave picked up the remote tailored to his size and put on an action movie he heard from Bulmblebees teammates that he liked and sat next to him Bumblebee of course like all those other times tried to move further away from him Shockwave of course quickly stopped this and picked up the small bot placing him on his lap. The movie played on in the background. Shockwave petting the small mechs head absentmindedly “you know little bee I'm starting to regret removing your voice box...but you made me do it…you needed to be punished for a lot of stuff like going against Megatron and almost figuring out my identity if your good you make it back”.

Bumblebee was still quiet ,scared out of his mind flinching at the gentle petting. he was given to shockwave after he was captured by the decepticons the giant not took out his voice modulator and he could no longer speak he's still looking for an escape route but it seems like shockwave will never leave him alone for to long he hopes the team will be able to save him soon

“Eventually us deceptions will take over cybertron and ill take you on a proper date…perhaps the execution of Optimus Prime?” the Decepticon suggested to Bumblebee felt like he was going to cry but he didn't he wouldn't give longar-shockwave the satisfaction

Shockwave just smiled and cuddled his little bee closer it's only logical bee would eventually bee would be happy with his new life all shockwave needed was patience.

Starscream always had an interest… in the autobot called Bumblebee he never knew what it was but the war started soon after the interest started so he bottled it up.. no point bothering the enemy over his intense tense hatred after all.

As he was lounging in his lair after he absorbed the allspark His children obeyed his every command they wouldn’t eat unless he told them to they could easily handle a retrieval mission….they probably couldn’t actually what was he thinking he needs to plan his attack on Optimus and Megatron.

-
He found himself watching the autobot base while the autobots and decepticons would never work together they decided to call a ceasefire until his spark was extinguished ha as if anyone could extinguish his spark especially since he held the allspark his attention peaked when. bumblebee and the so called guard of the allspark exited the Ark playing a game of tag…it would be so easy to grab Bumbkebee right now to fly off to his new base if all could see him was the beast former he would keep the scout in his lair where only he would be graced to see hi- what was Starscream thinking he doesn’t have time for this
-
Starscream found himself coming back the next day with a fond expression watching Bumblebee the allspark singed for the mech aswell…could it have to do with the whole glow trick he did before….he payed attention once again seeing the Dinobot Grimlock go inside the Ark Bumblebee was alone this is the perfect time to strike…but before he could get to far that annoying Hotrod exited the Ark and challenged the yellow bug to race…the idiot agreed and the so called allspark guardian followed after oh well not that the distractions are out of the way I can figure out a proper plan to kill Optimus and Megatron! And return all of their sparks to the allspark. Except the Bumblebee scout the allspark seemingly wants him to live…

-
Starscream growled after his last time watching the Ark he had made the decision of capturing the scout after all what better way then to attract the sparks of the Autobots? He was hanging out with wind blade well…Starscream used the power of the allspark to freeze both of the autobots them both grunting in pain

“Well well well what have we here two sparks to return to the allspark” Starscream looks at Bumblebee beaming he can’t wait to have the little scout in his hands. “Or rather one spark..the allspark is oddly found of you little bee it’d like you to live..and of course be mine” the Scout growled “what are you talking about I’d never be yours!” Bumblebee growled out though grimacing at the pain I wanted to shout at him for daring to decline my offer but chuckled instead “oh it’s adorable you think you have a choice~” i up the anger on my grip before Bumblebee was forcibly shut down and turned to Windblade “now to deal with you” i chuckle I rip into her chest and bring her spark out as it flies towards the allspark I smile one down in bringing those in the war back to the allspark.

I turn into jet mode and pick up my small…partner and fly to my base “children watch my partner I have to collect some sparks”….I won’t let them take him away from me.

Never
