Day 1. I’ve forgotten my girl! (Soundwave going to go rescue one of his cassettes) - Ravage gets head over pedes when distracting Laserbeak and Buzzsaw.

Context: Mechanimals monitor, guard, and keep their datanet nodes hidden from vehicleformers that treat them as dumb beasts and to keep the Functionists off their backs. They live outside of the caste system and the war.

Chapter 1: Day 1- Soundwave rescuing one of his cassettes.

Chapter Text

 

Buzzsaw and Laserbeak softly chirped to each other, nestled in their wire nest, peched on top of this area's datanet node.

In the distance, they could feel optics burn into their plating.

Both of them were hardwired into the other, both their HUDS shared the same optical feed. More processing power this way, it was risky to tend to this node, as close as it was to the vehicle city. In ages past, it was remote, but the city of Kaon had slowly ate up the canyon's walls, devouring into their habitat-infrastructure.

Both their plating itched, as their chroma nanites shifted. Laserbeak nudged her twin sister's plating with her beak, she scraped the itchy patch as Buzzsaw kept watch.

They and many others of their flock had developed odd patches, their chroma nanites had decided to develop into a masked violet face. Buzzsaw angrily cawed at the shared thought from her twin sister.

"You know it's a brand, 'Beak. Some mech out there wants to lay claim to us."

"Why you think I'm scraping it off???" Laserbeak shoved against Buzzsaw.

"The infection's hit everyone that backups this data node. You think it's a virus?" Laserbeak asked.

"Ugh, I hope not. Last thing we need is vehicles taking over our datanet." Buzzsaw ex-vented in irritation.

---

Soundwave watched the cyberhawks, via his telescoping lens, optics set at max zoom beneath his crimson visor.

Twin juvenile femmes, judging by their plating's colors and size. Interesting, one was attempting to scrape off the decepticon brand from the other.

So they noticed his newest virus. It wouldn't do for the Autobots to lay claim to the local mechanimal population after all.

Ravage rested quietly within his dock, his eldest had needed a while to be tamed and won over, but in the end he had prevailed.

---

"Ugh, is it gone yet? This brand clashes with my colors." Buzzsaw whined, her throat saws whirrred.

"No, it augh, keeps growing back." Laserbeak scraped, but all the nanites did was regrow and reform. Her sister stretched out her wings and pushed her over.

"Hey!"

"You suck at this!"

Laserbeak, with her helm shoved over the wirenest saw something.

"Hey...wait a minute."

Sitcking out of the node's base was some kind of datadrive, black and with the ugly purple face.

"SOME AFTHOLE INFECTED THIS DATANET NODE!" LOOK!" Laserbeak stuck her wing down to point at it. Buzzsaw looked over and squawked indigently.

"Frag it to the pits! "

---

Soundwave ex-vented. The two cyberhawks had noted his datadrive. Both juveniles cried out in alarm and had hopped down to the base of the node. The red one took the drive into her beak and twisted it off.

Lord Megatron would not be pleased.

"Ravage: Eject. Distract."

He shot his Eldest out of his dock, and Ravage twisted in mid-air from floppy drive to drive-panther. "Your orders, creator?"

Soundwave sent a wireless stream of his camera feed to Ravage.

Via the stream, Ravage watched as the cyberhawks crushed and hopped on the wreckage of the virus drive. "Keep them from escaping, " Soundwave replied.

---

"That's that! " As Buzzsaw said triumphantly, victory flashed in her optics. She flung the broken electronics into the shifting solar-panel leaves into the nearby push. Her helm was titled as she listened for the clatter of the wreckage.

"Music to my ears!" Laserbeak said.

"We need to go now! This node is-" Buzzsaw said, "-compromised." Laserbeak finished.

Their thrusters roared to life.

Something rustled in the brush.

Both of them looked at each other and they both turned around to eye the possible threat.

Oh, just a drivepanther.

Laserbeak's optics shuttered. No one else was supposed to take over their shift at the node.

"Uh, no one's supposed to take over our-"

Buzzsaw shrieked and launched herself at the panther, her beak split into four-ways as her throat-saws erupted out of her maw, screaming to life.

Laserbeak's confusion died into burning rage as she saw the purple face on the flank of the drivepanther.

She too screamed as lasers burned out of her optics.

"TRAITOR! SELL-OUT!" Laserbeak shrieked and threw herself into the fray as the treasonous cat buckled and yowled beneath Buzzsaw.

---

It was a mistake leaving Frenzy and Rumble back at base. At least, the two younglings could've backed up their older sister. But this mission needed stealth and those two were not stealthy.

The golden cyberhawk had now torn off Ravage's rockets with her saws and the other had pinned down his daughter's head beneath her talons, optics burning bright.

No.

Soundwave ran out of the wiretrees, his sonic cannon roared to life. The sonic blasts slammed into the two avianmecha as they were shot off Ravage.

Disoriented, the two clanged as they rolled onto the ground from the force.

Ravage herself wasn't much better. Her audials were clamped shut over her helm and deep gouges marred her once polished frame.

He knelt next to Ravage, letting his digits pet and comfort her.

"Ravage: return. You did well." His helm dropped, Soundwave had not meant for her to be injured at this level. He glanced over at the two cyberhawks, both seemed to be out. Good.

He helped his child twist back into datadrive form and as he inserted her back into his dock, Soundwave's visor flashed as he looked at the knocked out twin avians...he had an idea.

With its guardians gone, it would be easy to reclaim this datanet node for the Decepticon Cause. Besides he was getting tired of Frenzy and Rumbles constant complaints of being the youngest.

Those two rambunctious daughters of his could use younger siblings to temper them. Plus these two cyberhawks proved to be observant, intelligent and vicious fighters. Qualities that he valued in creations and Lord Megatron would be pleased to hear of the newest acquisitions.
