Description
The cold winter air blows, and a city is lit bright below. Looming over it on top of its highest building was the Decepticon Soundwave. Lately he has been observing the human race. He knows that Megatron ordered to wipe out there kind. But on this time of year, they always seem so… happy.

Something he never got to experience. Even with his minicon cassettes, he looked around. And saw only smiling faces down below. Music. Lights. Bright colours. He looked down, his curiosity peaked. He transforms into a stealth aircraft and fly’s over the city.

“The human holiday known as Christmas. It’s… much like our own holiday of Chosen One Day.” Soundwave landed on the out scents of the city. A harbour to be pacific and transformed to robot mode. Soundwave made his way into the city shortly after. Hiding in what little shadows he could. “Both are times of the year where everyone throws all the problems of their respective world aside. And focusing on the ones they cherish most.” Soundwave seen a mother holding a bocce of flowers, holding the hand of a small boy. Who wiped a tear from his eye sniffing, to cheer him up, the child’s mother gave him a hug, and they walked hand in hand together once more. “And it seems it extends to those who have left this world.” Soundwave didn’t have those close to him outside of those he ejects from his chest compartment. But still, he never experienced the concept of a “family”. But he douse respect those who have a close bond. Even those among the autobots. Soundwave then took a step out of the shadow he was hiding behind. Walking out into the streets, the people not paying him much mind. But there is always the one individual. “Say, aren’t you one of those autobots?” The man who asked was waiting at a bus stop. Unable to think of an appropriate response. “Merry Christmas.” Soundwave walked off. “And you too uh… oh wait.”

Soundwave looked around some more, noticing some pine trees around many shops and stores. Decorated like the rest of the city. “I’m not sure what the pine tree plant has to do with the holiday. But it seems the humans decorate it with all of these decorations. I have yet to understand what this means. But-” Soundwave then heard a gunshot from somewhere nearby. Something in his spark told him to go and check it out. He couldn’t explain why however. But he just did. As if his body was acting on its own. And the sight he saw made him flinch. Soundwave? Flinching? How?

A girl with blond hair and a red top with blue overalls was being held at gun point. “P-Please you can’t do this!” The girl spoke to the masked man, as another was in an open back truck. As a white sack was in the back, and it was moving. Something, or someone was inside that thing. “Come on, let’s blow this popsicle stand before someone shows up!” Masked man 1 said to masked man 2. “You got it boss, hop in!” Before too long, they burned rubber and throe out of there. “No!” The girl was passing back and forth. She had no idea what to do. She was so distracted she didn’t see Soundwave approaching her. The girl bumped into his leg. “Oops, sorry! I was-” She suddenly gasped and she looked upwards. Finally noticing the massive robot before her. “What happened?” Soundwave asked looking down at her. The girl didn’t really know how to respond. But her first thought that came to mind was to ask for help, despite just meeting. “Hay, can you help me? I know we just met but-” “No.” Soundwave began walking away, but the country dressed girl ran after him. “W-Wait! Please my brother and sister have been kidnapped!” Soundwave ignored her and continued talking. “Then why not just ask a cop?” “Even if I did they wouldn’t find them in time! Please, help me save my family! Don’t you have anyone close to you, wouldn’t you try and help them if they whore-” Soundwave suddenly stops. And turns back to the girl, his visor glowing red. He then grabs the girl, holding her up. Eye to optic. “Of cores. I do.” Soundwave glared. “I’m no Autobot. But I do know what it means to care about others. Don’t assume I show no emotion to others just because I’m a Decepticon.” Soundwave set the girl down. “I’ll help you. Only to prove my words true.” With that, the two set out.

At the crooks hide out. The men discuss what they’re going to do next. “So boss, what exactly do we want from these kids again?” “Easy. We need to get the information they have out of them. It isn’t gonna be as easy as squeezing water from a sponge.” “But what could kids like these know?” The leading crook looked to his partner, quite seriously. “Long ago. Those kids found themselves in another world. One filled with tunes of powerful artifacts. You know how much money we could make if we get our hands on some of those?” “Sounds more like you took a big blow to the head boss.” “I’m perfectly fine! Trust me, it’ll all be worth it.” As the men continued to talk, Laserbeak watched from a rough top window. Broadcasting the video feed back to Soundwave and the girl. “Oh no. No no no no no no no no no no no no! We gotta save them!” The girl was about to run into the building, but was cut off by Soundwave. “I didn’t agree to help you just so you can get yourself captured with them.” Laserbeak returned to Soundwave, transforming into a cassette tape and being put into Soundwave’s chest compartment. “It’s best if you stay here while I go in for them.” Soundwave makes his way to the front door, and uses his shoulder blaster, to shoot it, along with the wall, down. “Hand over the kids. Or else.” “What the?! How’d you find us!?” Soundwave didn’t give an answer. But the thugs just got their guns out and opened fire. But this had no effect on Soundwave. And he just stood there, taking every shot like nothing is going on. As they whore busy, they didn’t notice the girl sneaking pass. “Are you done yet?” Soundwave asked with annoyance, the thugs had just ran out of bullets. “Uuuuuh…” They say in unison. “Possibly?” Soundwave then took out his own gun, aiming it at them. The men eminently put their arms up. Only to have large objects get thrown at them from behind, knocking them out. “Hehe. Still think I can’t handle myself?” Soundwave was a little surprised. But felt some kind of pride after seeing it.

After a while, the humans walk with Soundwave before arriving at the entrance to a country road. “I take it you can walk the rest of the home from here?” “Yea, thanks for saving us by the way.” The boy replied. He was wearing a blue shirt with trousers, red shoes and a red hat with the letter B on it. The youngest, another girl, was wearing pink overalls that had a heart at the centre, a white shirt, along with red shoes. She was blond like her big sister, but a little more white, the middle brother had orange hair, his face had a few freckles as well. “It was no big deal.” Soundwave begins walking away, but the kids then get an idea. “Hay!” The youngest yelled. “You wanna spend Christmas with us?!” Stopping in his tracks, Soundwave looks back to them, shocked. “I… uh…” “If you have any plans we understand.” The youngest said. Sheepishly. Soundwave turned around fully to face them. “I… don’t.” “Well if you’d like you can.. join us. As a thank you.” This was the first time someone had invited Soundwave to… ANYTHING. None the less. Soundwave thought about it.. and nodded. With that, the four of them headed their way. “By the way.. I don’t think I ever got your names.” The kids realized this as well. “Well. My name is Megan. My brother is Danny. Are little sister is named Molly.” “So what’s your name mister?” Molly asked politely. Soundwave thought about it. Should he tell them his name? Well… in the spirit of the holiday.

“Soundwave.”

The end.
