Silent Knight

Chapter 1- Freedom

3rd Person-

Dark and gray this dimension is, one that hosts the eyes and ears of the one great Deceptions, Soundwave. Many years have passed since his imprisonment here by those autobots' human pets trick and he is nowhere near close to figuring out a way to leave this place.

For a while now Soundwave was forced to reduce his energon consumption to prelong his waking status so stasis couldn't be needed.

Even though Soundwave saw Megatron's death by the hand of the autobot scout named Bumblebee, and his lord and close friend's subsequent revival from the Earth's oceans.

Soundwave had no means to reach Cybertron, he could still use his MQ-9 Reaper transformation, but the journey would be a long one without a Spacebridge, and he at present didn't have the required energon deposits for such a prelong journey, not to mention entering a prolonged stasis while space traveling was too risky.

So, Soundwave was left to wander the earth in this Shadow Zone, the human Miko had said to him in mockery when her and the human, Jack, trapped him here. Soundwave many a time thought of erasing the mugshot he took of them, but...it was something that kept him going, like his still bow of silence.

Soundwave POV;

Soundwave: [Two years have I wandered around in these forsaken dimensions, my energon deposits are low and decreasing by day, soon yet not very soon I will need to go into stasis and accept my fate to rust here.] Soundwave thought as he swung one arm to smash a bulder in anger, yet like always he phased right through it.

Soundwave wanted to yell, but...his vow of silence was the only thing left that connected to his loyalty to Megatron, as Soundwave's master and gladiatory friend.

As Soundwave stopped to take a breath in to relax, although Cybertronians didn't require air to live, he adapted this habit after seeing bearing fruit in calming his systems down.

???: Quite the situation, one does see and a very grand opportunity one can offer see?

Soundwave snapped to attention at the voice, it was distant yet close enough to his hearing sensors. Soundwave pulled out his tendrils and charged his blaster mod in case of defending himself.

???: Hold your fire and do not miss, for I'm a friend, yet a foe I'm not beneath. But listen to my word if you want to keep on going straight and not to your grave.

Soundwave: [Where is this voice coming from, my systems can't pinpoint it, yet he- no his spark feels it's very close.]

???: Your thoughts are right and your spark shines true, I'm close yet your sight can't do. Let one show himself at last, so you may at least have sight.

As Soundwave looked left and right before a figure appeared, it was tall and slender dressed finely like an old nineteen century man. Black four piece suit, slick shoes and a long leather black trench coat with a top hat on his head. A long bony tail came from under his long trench coat brushing the ground, hands and feet covered in armour leggings and gauntlets, and last a full face mask featureless, and split half in black and half in white.

Alister: Pleasure to appear, trapped one. My name's Alister. And no need to say yours for my mind already knows. As for my presence here I came to be, the proposal I hold it's true and keen.

Soundwave stood silent, his tendrils pointing at the being that introduced itself as "Alister".

Alister: The proposal I preach, is one of benefits, for you and I both true. You wish for freedom and purpose, I seek entertainment. So here is what I say to you metal friend of mine. I'll put you out of this dimension, your prison, in a world slightly that differs and there you may find someone who can bring back that light.
