//------------------------------// // Log 6 "meeting the team" // Story: A Sound Break // by Spore Harvest //------------------------------// The next morning went along the same way. The only thing that was off about it, was that Vinyl was up earlier than yesterday. "Um good morning Vinyl. Why are you up so early?" She stepped inside me and then she said. "Oh I couldn't sleep tonight, because we are going to be meeting giant alien robots, so you can probably understand." That of course was true because I didn't sleep that much either. "Yeah I understand. Hey on the way can we grab a couple of doughnuts from Sugar cube corner? I'm a little bit peckish." Then I swear I could see her grin. "Oh, are you sure you don't want them for the taste?" She got me so I sighed. "Can you help it? The sweets that they make are freaking delicious." Then she started me up and we went on the road. "Yeah, I guess your right. We'll go just make sure that we go and meet the Autobots right after." After some time of me pretending to think she said. "So we have a deal?" "Yeah we are going to go. With that said we drove off towards Sugar cube corner. When we finally reached it we went down an alleyway she jumped out and I transformed into my human form. "So do we have anything important to do today or do we just go to the store and wait for customers." "Nah, we have some instruments to fix up or tune up. So with that, we have a lot of work to do. So lets quickly get our breakfast and get to the store." Putting words into actions. We quickly went in, got our treats and made our way to the store. *** After some time of us meaning me, Vinyl, Ravage, Laser beak, Rat bat, Frenzy and rumble working on our separate projects I heard Vinyl ask. "Hey Soundwave how come you and your minicons are so good at fixing electronics?" Instead of me answering Rumble said. "Well believe it or not, but we were fixing electronics since we were born. It is what we do best." Then he went back to his guitar and Frenzy continued. "Besides these instruments are nothing compared to some of the tech on Cybertron." Then he also returned back to his work. "Do you miss your home?" That made me think for a moment and then I answered. "Well yes and no you see when I left my home there was a huge war going on between the Autobots and Decepticons that is the reason I don't want to go back, but I also do want to go back because I really miss all of my friends. So you can see my dilemma here." "Yeah, I guess I do." She said. After some time we heard the front bell go off. "Oh that might be Octavia I'll go check while you finish off back here. Okay." We all just nodded and then she left the room. I and my little pals were almost finished with our separate instruments and were about to screw them back together when Vinyl and Octavia both walked in and when the later saw my minicons she jumped back and screamed. "What are these things?!" After we all finished putting our instruments together, Rumble and Frenzy said in unison. "Hey we are not things were minicons." After that Laser beak and Ratbat landed on their shoulder and punctuated the statement by squawking and screeching, after that Ravage joined the scene and growled. Since I didn't want to see a fight break out, I stepped between them and said. "Okay guys break it up, let's get you introduced. Octavia these are my minicons Laser beak, Rat bat, Rumble, Frenzy and Ravage." I punctuated my name calling by pointing out each bot. "Guys meet Octavia." Then they all waved at her and Ravage even stepped up to her and gave her his front paw. Then she accepted it and said. "Well it's nice to meet you all and sorry for that little outburst. It's just that I've never seen you and I don't take too well to surprises." "Eh don't worry. All is forgiven." Said the twins and then they transformed to their respective instruments and turned into my backpack. "Well I know why you are here, so let me get to the back alley and then I'm going to meet you in front of the store, okay." And with that, I went out of the store to find an alleyway. After I found it I transformed and drove myself to in front of the store. "Well hop on in." Then I opened the front doors and waited for them to get in. Vinyl, of course, got in with no problem, but Octavia had a couple of problems. "What are you waiting for? Jump in." "Well I would, but doesn't it feel weird carrying someone inside you?" She asked. "Yeah it does, but in all actuality, it feels like I'm carrying you on my shoulders. Now get in before we're late." With that said she slowly made her way inside and then we were off to get to the Autobot base. *** After some time of us driving, we finally arrived at a cancelled demolition site. It was a huge complex coloured a kinda faded yellow and in front of it we saw the Dinobots standing like statues. After taking notice of that little fact I drove us inside the building. "Hey guys. Here I am ready for my interrogation." All of the Autobots then turned to me and after that, they gathered on the makeshift couch that was set up in the living room. "Oh yeah and before I forget I brought some friends along who really wanted to meet you. With that Vinyl and Octavia stepped out of me and I transformed into my robot mode. "I hope you don't mind." Then Optimus stepped up and said. "No, we don't mind now before we start let's introduce ourselves my name is Optimus, the big guy over there is Bulkhead." Then he waved and said. "Sup." Then the yellow one said. "Hy my name is Bumblebee. Nice to meet you." Then the guy who looked like a ninja said. "It's nice to meet as well, my name is Prowl." Then he extended his hand to shake and I of course did. After that the last one stepped forward he looked a little old, but he still looked like he could kick my ass. "Hy the name's Ratchet." And after that, we heard a little girls voice say. "Hello, there my name is Sari." She appeared on Bumble bee's shoulder. "Who are you?" "Hello everyone my name is Soundwave and these are my two friends Vinyl Scratch and Octavia Melody. Then they both waved. "Hiya." Said Vinyl. "Nice to meet you." Said Octavia. Then Optimus said. "Okay now with the introductions out of the way, let's sit down and talk." With that said I sat down crossing my legs while picking up both Vinyl and Octavia and placed them on my legs. "Okay then lets start. What do you want to know?" Then Bumblebee asked. "How did you get to Earth?" Okay, then time to put my lying skills to the test. "I got here in a spaceship. What do you think?" Then Ratchet asked. "How long have you been on this planet." "Well in an active way I was here for about three days. As for in stasis I don't know and I honestly don't care." Then Bulkhead asked. "Hey, how come we couldn't get a reading on your Autobot signature." "I jammed my signal so that I wouldn't be followed by Decepticons. Can I ask a question?" "Yes, you can." Said Prowl. "Were the Dinobots any trouble?" Then Optimus dragged a hand down his face and answered. "They were well behaved it's just that they kept on fighting with each other and we still don't know what the other two are named." "Well then it's time that we wake them up and name em." With that I picked up Vinyl and Octavia and placed them on my shoulders. "Hey wait I have a question. Why do you transform?" Asked Vinyl. Then Ratchet said. "We transform to move around faster, does that answer your question," he said in an annoyed voice. "Hey, you don't have to be so mean about it." With that said I quickly made my way out. I stepped up to the Dinobots and poked Grimlock. He woke up. "Me Grimlock destroy oh hey loud one you have returned Dinobots wake up." With that said he hit the other two and woke them up. "Okay then guys, since you two seem to not have names I'm going to give you names okay." They both nodded and I thought about their name from the shows. Then it hit me and I pointed to the triceratops. "You are going to be named Slug." Then I pointed to the pterodactyl "And you are going to be Strafe." They both nodded at their new names. "So do you two talk or..." They both shook their heads. Then Sari said. "I wanted to fix them up, but they didn't allow me to do it." "Okay then Slug, Strafe sit down and let Sari fix you up we can't have you be broken now can we." With that they both sat down and let Sari do her thing. After they were both fixed I asked them. "So who are you two?". Then slug said in a deep voice. "My name is Slug and I'm a Dinobot." Then Strafe said in a high pitched tone. "And my name is Strafe and I'm also a Dinobot." "Good then, now with that sorted, Vinyl, Octavia do you have any questions?" "No, not really." Said Vinyl while she looked at Ratchet. "Well, I have a question. Do you have any minicons?" "Minicons eh. No, we don't. Wait do you have them?" Asked Ratchet. "Yes I do. I have five. They are quite useful in certain situations." With that said I noticed that it was getting dark. "Okay then guys I would love to stay and chat, but me, Vinyl and Octavia need to go home." Then Optimus stepped forward and said. "Okay, then Soundwave. Will see you tomorrow then." Then he gave me his right hand and I shook it. With that said I transformed into my vehicle mode and drove off towards Vinyls home.
