"What do you mean you cannot find his signal?" Megatron snarled while slamming his servo against the arm of his thrown. Starscream cowered and flinched back in fear.

"L-lord Megatron! Soundwave was aided by the Autobots! It is likely he is hidden inside their base-"

"Then find their base." Megatron snapped. His helm was swirling with everything that had happened within the past few weeks. Not only did that wretched little femme cause problems and escape, but Soundwave had discovered the truth. Though the warlord would never admit it out loud, there had been a sliver of fear planted in his spark at his third-in-commands words.

I will snuff out your spark.

"My master! I retrieved your human and the Omega keys! Surely you cannot blame Soundwave's disappearance on me!" Soundwave whined. His body was bowed as he lowered onto his knees and begged, "Have mercy upon your loyal servant! Give me a chance to find Soundwave, and-"

"You have had one change too many Starscream." Megatron spat out. He stood tall and stepped forward. "Without the synthetic energon, the Omega keys have no purpose! Soundwave will be left to me, as you seem to be too insolent and weak to finish the job yourself."

Starscream choked as Megatron grasped his throat and squeezed. "I will not hesitate to extinguish your spark if you fail me again. Go and search for Soundwave! He cannot help the Autobots find the fourth Omega key! We would be at a disadvantage."

"Y-yes Lord Megatron!" Starscream scrambled to his peds once released and turned away, practically running out of the throne room. Megatron clenched his denta in anger and let out a frustrated shout.

That human child was the cause of this, he thought. Soundwave will regret turning his back on me

Back at the Autobot base, Lynlee was humming quietly to herself as June carefully unwrapped the girl's ribs. It was obvious the girl was in better spirits after Optimus told her she could see Soundwave. Another week had passed, but it didn't deter her. She was going to see him soon.

She could feel it.

The rest of the Autobots had been quite alarmed when she'd asked Optimus what a sparkmate. It was obvious she should know nearly nothing about anything cybertronian other than the war, so they were more than startled. Their answer had made her more nervous than anything.

Apparently, a sparkmate was the very definition of a human's soulmate- but your hearts, or sparks (as Ratchet so generously reminded her), were literally attached to one another. You could feel their thoughts, emotions, and even pain.
