(Transformers) Soundwave's secret

Chapter 8.

As far as Rumble was conserned, he was almost similar to Frenzy but looked a bit stronger than his twin. The armor was not red but blue with a light blue gauzy visor on his helm and his optics were orange color as well. There were also different tools and small cases on his belt.

"Guys, I wonder how would Autobots react if they knew that we and Soundwave are more like a... neutrals." Ratbat suddenly asked.

"Hehe! First, I don't think they'll eva' believe and second, if they did, that wouldn't change much. Autobots and Decepticons are more similar than they think."

"Good point Rumble. Ratbat, remember what Soundwave says. Both have wrong ideas of each other. Soundwave managed to notice that and became neutral. She chose helping both side but for THEM that would mean not choosing any of sides. Who would listen to and let alone trust someone who, as they think, can't choose..."

"Arg! Why's all so complicated!" the femmling flapped her wings and leaned to the wall. The next moment they heard voices of their siblings in the main room.

"They're back!" Ratbat smiled jumping up. The door opened and Ravage jumped inside "Rumble, Frenzy, Ratbat: collect your belongs, we are leaving."

"What!?" the younglings jumped as the panther rushed out again. They stopped at the doorway to see birds fly around collecting different belongings.

"Wait! Where?" Frenzy started as Ratbat jumped in front of him "Why? What's happened?"

"Yeh! Did you contact Soundwave?"

"She contacted us." Buzsaw informed landing on the desk and getting another tool.

"The visor was taken. Soundwave's order: leave the base." Ravage explained walking to them.

"They know!?"," Can't be!", "And what's about 'Cons?!" the three attacked panther with questions.

"Calm down, we'll explain the details later," Buzsaw answered nodding to Ravage to continue whatever he was doing and went on "Prepare the medical kits and the most needed belongs. We will use the coordinate that Soundwave once gave us. There is a special place prepared for this kind of situations." younglings looked at the condor still not sure of what was going on...

"Oookay, but how're we all supposed to leave the base at the same time? Someone will notice that's weird."

"You and Frenzy: coming with me. I will deal with problems if such will exist. Others: will fly away. Meeting is out; the place is chosen." Ravage answered. They had to hurry. Who know when Autobots will contact Megatron again and reveal the truth.

Iacon. Autobot base. Command centre.

Command centre was a large illuminated room with different screens on the wall. There was a big round table in the centre. Ten Autobots were in the room, sitting in their seats or standing by the table.

"Must admit that this situation still sounds more like a joke for me." Prowl said sitting in the seat his one servo on the table.

"Not a joke. That's the craziest thing ever!"

"Blaster, you're an Officer so act like one and control your emotions."

"Excuse me, sir. I forgot that you're around! Bot! Ultra Magnuse, do you even realize what's happened?"

"This situation doesn't change anything. I don't even see the point in this conversation." The commander of Wreckers coldly stated looking at Jazz, who was ready to lose his temper.

"Primuse! Soundwave is a femme! A femme! Are Blaster and me the only ones who find it ridiculous?!"

"Jazz, Blaster, please, sit down." Optimus asked and his ward made officers calm down a bit. "The situation is indeed more than confusing."
