Family divided, Friendships grow (A transformers Prime fanfiction)

Ch. 7: Soundwave

 It was the Saturday after the science fair project. I told Optimus that he could go, as I was staying at my house that day. I finally remembered Sounwave's comm, as I called him the night before. So he was meeting up with me at my house. I decided to make my house neutral ground for the Autobots and Decepticons. The human kids understood that my house was a no fighting zone, well physical fighting. It was ten in the morning, and Soundwave was arriving at eleven. I waited in my human form, and not my holo form. When Soundwave arrived, I smiled.

 "Statement: You claim to be Firefrost. Question: Are you really?" Soundwave asks that in radio waves. I smiled as I transformed into my bipedal form. He ran and gave me a hug, twirling me around.

 "Easy there Soundwave, don't squish me," I laughed as he sat me down. We were old friends back before the war started. 

 "Statement: can't believe you're alive," he stated. I looked at him confused.

 "Why can't you believe I am alive?" I asked him, worried.

 "Statement: watched you die. Statement: when the Autobots and Decepticon foot soldiers joined forces to fight you. Statement: Megatron and I were sad," he replied sadly.

 "Oh, now I know what you are talking about. The blast didn't kill me, more as blow me off a cliff. I was unconscious for about a day, barely on a ledge. When I woke up and climbed up, I realized that everyone thought I was dead, so I left Cybertron the next day," I tell him. That is one of the reasons that I left. I remember that day clearly. I was walking like normal on the streets when I was ambushed by two dozen Autobots and two dozen Decepticons. They came to an agreement to kill me since they did not like that I would switch sides and their leaders allowed it. They started firing at me. I fought back, taking them down one by one. I eventually started running when I took almost all of them all down. I did not notice a missile coming my way until it blew me off the ledge. The last thing I saw was Optimus, Megatron, Soundwave, and Ratchet looking in horror. I shut off my bonds with my brother, and I felt bad for leaving two of my oldest friends. "I'm sorry Soundwave. I know it was wrong for me to leave, but you already thought I was dead, so I played the part. Plus, I was going to leave anyway. I couldn't take the fighting between Optimus and Megatron. I was going to tell you guys that day, but that happened, so I just left."

 "Statement: understandable. Statement: Soundwave happy to see old friend," Soundwave exclaimed.

 "It's good to see you too. I know it's late into the war, and there may be no neutrals left, but I am going to remain neutral in the war. I am keeping my promise," I inform him. He nodded his head, understanding my reason. "Do you want to see my base of operation?"

 "Statement: yes," Soundwave replied. I pressed a button on the ground, which made the ground that Soundwave and I were on go down. We reached the ground of my base, as we stepped off. The thing that brought us down went back up as Soundwave looked around. "Statement: cool base of operation. Question: Why?"

 "Well, I never really used it before, unless I wanted to stretch my actual limbs. Also, I needed a place to hide my ship, which is in another part of this bunker," I informed him. He walked over to a computer and started typing on it as videos started to pop up of the warship and the base. Apparently, there was a scraplet infestation. "Now I am glad that I am not at the base. That would be hard to explain."

 "Affirmative," Soundwave said, using Megatron's voice. I smile at him. "Question: What has Firefrost been up to?"

 "Prior to meeting the Autobots again and seeing you again?" I asked him. Soundwave nodded. I sighed. "Well, from the day I left to about 7 human years ago, I was traveling the universe. Seeing planet after planet. When I arrived on Earth seven years ago, I decided to stay on this planet. So, for 3 years I traveled around until I settled down in this place. It was another four years until I met the Autobots again."

 "Soundwave: should get going," he said I nodded my head. We went back above ground. We hugged one more time before we departed. I headed over to the base, as I activated my hologram. I arrived at the base, as the base was a disaster. Arcee and Bee were getting medical help, as the others looked in bad shape.

 "What happened here?" I ask, making everyone turn towards me.

 "And where were you?" Miko asked.

 "Home. I had something I had to do, then I ended up calling an old friend of mine," I update them as I walk over to Optimus. "Were you in the arctic?"

 "Yes, they were. Also, we had a scraplet infestation," Ratchet informed me. Ratchet started asking Jack, Raf, and Miko about some medical stuff.

 "Perhaps you should get some rest yourself, old friend. You saved quite a few lives today," Optimus tells Ratchet as I walked over to the other humans. 

 "It... wasn't all my doing," Ratchet tells Optimus as he looked at us. I knew he meant the other three, and not me. "We're just fortunate that this infestation happened... on a Saturday."

 "Our human friends may be small, but they are strong," Optimus states. Right after he finished speaking, Miko screamed.

 "Scraplet?!" Jack asked, with a crowbar. Obviously not, you idiot.

 "Spider! Is it on me?!" Miko shrieked as I ran over to Optimus and climbed onto his shoulder. I hissed, not getting off of my guardian, no matter what. "GET OFF!"

 "Did she just scream like a little girl?" Bulkhead asked. I glared at him.

 "Spiders are terrifying little creatures that deserve to die," I growled, as the other two sighed.

 "I'm guessing you're afraid of spiders?" Jack sighed.

 "Afraid? AFRAID?! One almost fragging killed me! Of course, I'm fragging terrified!" I shrieked. True story. I almost got killed by a bot that could turn into a spider. They sighed.

 "You're terrified of everything," Raf sighed.

 "No, I'm not!" I stated sheepishly. They glared at me.

 "OH REALLY? Name one thing you're not terrified of," Jack stated, crossing his arms as he glared at me.

 "Cons, dying, you," I stated proudly. "That's all I could think of at the current moment."

 "I give up," Jack said, as he went back to monitoring Arcee's life signals. I smirked as I hugged Optimus' neck cables, refusing to let go, no matter how cold he was.

Peace out Peeps
