Part 3 Of Hidden Frame Au? Rodimus And Perceptor Leave Behind The Lost Light And Travel Through The Stars,

part 3 of hidden frame au? rodimus and perceptor leave behind the lost light and travel through the stars, trying to find a safe place to stay. during their journey they come across soundwave, out on a personal vacation from earth and sanctuary, and he offers to help them out.

soundwave is outraged over how rodimus has been treated for simply carrying life, which he finds beautiful, and he does what he can to help them find a new place to call home. over time rodimus and soundwave fall in love, with soundwave offering to be the sire so the bitty has a complete family.

They didn't realize at the time both of them relieved they'd managed to escape. But now warnings were popping up all over the place.

"What's happening?"

The ship shuddered making a loud screeching sound and Perceptor turned to him.

"Go to the stasis chambers!"

"What about you?"

"I'll be fine I'm going to try and land our ship."

"Then I'm staying."

He went to sit next to Perceptor, almost falling when the ship jerked again.

"No. You're sparked. If we crash you'll be safer in a stasis chamber then out here."

"Then you should come with me."

"Someone needs to land the ship."

"Then I'm staying."

"Rodimus you are sparked which means you need to think about the sparkling. Just like how I'm thinking about you."

He felt tears in his optics knowing he was right. With a hand on his belly he forced himself towards the stasis pods.

Climbing inside he felt it activate just as they entered atmosphere.

Soundwave who'd been in the area enjoying his desperately needed vacation noticed something strange. He watched as a ship fell from the sky and crashed into a nearby field.

He ran over when he realized it was Cybertronian in design. The door was jammed shut and he had to force it open. Once inside he went to the pilots seat where he found a familiar Autobot.

Perceptor laid across the console and was unconscious but mostly okay. He went to pull him out of the wreck when he smelled something that made him tense.

His head snapped over and he found himself following the scent. His spark beat rapidly in his chest because someone on the ship was sparked and he could only hope they were okay.

He followed the smell to a room that had stasis pods inside. Looking around he found Rodimus inside one and unconscious. His optics widened in shock when he realized he was a tank carrier because he thought they'd been exterminated a long time ago. He couldn't remember the last time he'd seen one and when he did they were being executed.

He tried to open the stasis pod and found that it was jammed. Unable to open automatically he had to force it open.

Rodimus fell forward and he easily caught him and checked for damages. Relieved when he was mostly unharmed except for a few dents and scraped paint. He searched the rest of the ship and didn't find anyone else.

Realizing there was no sire onboard he felt angry when he realized they'd likely abandoned him. He thought it was disgusting that someone could abandon their mate and sparkling.

He took Rodimus and Perceptor to his ship. Deciding to end his vacation early and go back home, so the two could get proper medical attention.

Noticing Perceptor waking up. He turned towards the scientist who glared at him while trying to protect Rodimus.

"I'm not going to hurt either of you."

He reassured.

"Where are we?"

"You two crash landed nearby. I found you and I'm bringing you somewhere where you can get proper medical care."

"We're fine."

Perceptor tried to grab Rodimus and he stopped him.

"No you're not and Rodimus is sparked. He and the sparkling need to be looked at."

Perceptor tensed looking nervous and he had a sinking suspicion on why their ship crashed.

"I won't hurt him I promise."

Perceptor gave him a skeptical look but so far he hasn't done anything to hurt them.

"You'll be safe at the compound."

"We're Autobots and your compound is full of Decepticons."

"Autobots have joined us. You are not the only ones who have been dissatisfied on Cybertron."

He could see the Autobot give him a surprised look before he quickly tried to hide it.

"Fine but I'll be watching you and the moment something goes wrong we're out of there."

"Of course."

Perceptor got up and went to check on Rodimus while he took the ship back to the compound he led. When they got there some of his high command gave him curious looks.

"Back from your vacation already?"

"You're supposed to be gone longer."

One of them accused.

"You need a break Soundwave you know what the medic said."

"There was an emergency. I found a crashed ship with two Autobots one of them is sparked."

Immediately everyone snapped into action and a medic was called. They took Rodimus and Perceptor to the medbay where they were both looked over.

Rodimus was fine. His body was still unconscious from the stasis pod. Which had knocked him deeper unconscious when the ship crashed to protect him.

Perceptor was fine besides his arm being injured and hovered around Rodimus, waiting for him to wake up and wearily watching the people around him.

It was obvious to everyone what happened and they gave the two of them space.

He stayed as well watching over the two of them and making sure they were safe. He knew no one would hurt them but he just wanted to make sure.

Inside he was fuming with rage and if he ever met the sires he'd punch them in the face and then attack the rest of the Lost Light. He knew Megatron had fallen but he didn't realize how far.

Staying hidden in the shadows he continued watching the two mechs waiting for Rodimus to wake up. Watching him sleep he decided to help Rodimus anyway he could.

Rodimus and his sparkling would be safe there. He would do everything in his power to make sure they felt safe and welcomed. He didn't deserve to go through this and he never wanted him to experience the pain his crew and the sires of his sparkling put him through ever again.

I would love love love to see a scenario where Hot Rod is the carrier of Ratbat but he was forcibly separated from his creation by the Autobots. All because Ratbat happened to be a beastformer and, thus, not considered worth the waste of supplies.

Soundwave found poor Ratbat, hungry and abandoned, soon after and took him in, shocked that a bitty was all alone this young.

Later on, during battle, Ratbat escapes from Soundwave and hurries to Hot Rod since he can still feel the bond he has with his carrier. Hot Rod immediately taking him in his arms, crying happily now that they've been reunited.

He stared at the burning remains of Nyon in a cold horror. The only thing left was his sparkling who was asleep in his arms unaware of what happened. He felt tears fall knowing they'd never go home again.

Behind him the Autobots stood ignoring his destroyed home as they tried to recruit him. Wanting to get away from it all he turned around and left with his sparkling in his arms. He didn't know where he would go but he couldn't stay there anymore.

Of course things weren't as simple and the Autobots weren't going to let him go that easily. He'd shown that he was skilled in combat and the Autobots didn't want him joining the other side.

They blocked him from leaving and he sighed telling them to move and that he wasn't joining. Of course they didn't like that and one of them grabbed him. He struggled in their arms feeling exhausted and just wanting to leave.

One of the Autobots ripped his bitty out of his arms and he cried for Ratbat who woke in fear. His little one flapped his wings trying to get away from his captor who wouldn't let go.

He sobbed begging for his sparkling back as he continued to struggle.

Ratbat frantically called for his carrier looking terrified as he tried to get away. He pleaded with them not to hurt his little one and the Autobots laughed and told him to come with them.

He kept screaming and begging frantically reaching for his sparkling who was crying for him as well.

His spark couldn't take the stress anymore and even though he tried to fight it. Still desperately reaching for his sparkling. He passed out.

The Autobots dragged him back to base with Ratbat crying the entire time wanting his carrier.

"We're not taking that disgusting thing back to base are we?"

"Of course not."

The Autobot left Ratbat near some garbage and walked away all of them laughing when he continued to cry.

"That thing was so loud and annoying."

"Stupid beastformers should know their place."

"If that thing wasn't so useless I would have killed him."

They all laughed turning their attention to Hot Rod who they leered at.

"Once we bring him back to base we'll get a promotion."

"The famous Hot Rod of Nyon."

"Not anymore he's not."

They all laughed and one of them began groping him in his sleep.

"What are you doing?"

"He was acting like that thing back there was his creation. You know how carriers are all they want is to have sparklings and I'd be happy to help him."

"You're sick."

They all laughed but kept eyeing Hot Rod hungrily. First they needed to present their catch then they'd have their way with him.

Getting back to base they were stopped by the Autobots annoying medic Ratchet who immediately yelled at them. Instead of getting some alone time with Rodimus he was taken out of their arms and carried to the medbay where he could be properly looked after.

They watched in annoyance before going to report their find. Maybe they'd find some other way to get themselves alone with Rodimus.

His sensors had picked up Autobot signatures and he went to check it out. Looking around the ruins of a small town he was drawn towards a strange noise.

Weapons drawn in case it was a trap he walked closer. Realizing it was a sparkling in distress he rushed over and found a little beastformer sobbing and frantically calling for his carrier. He looked around trying to find them or at least a body except there was nothing.

Realizing the beastformer had been abandoned he scooped the little one up. Planning vengeance if he ever met the person responsible for abandoning the little sparkling.

Taking him back to base the sparkling didn't put up too much of a fight. He gently held him and quietly reassured him that he'd be okay.

Getting home he washed the sparkling who was covered in dirt and ash. After cleaning him he noticed the sparkling was well taken care of which was surprising given the war and how hard it was to come by sparkling energon.

There was no doubt in his mind that he was going to keep Ratbat. He already loved the sparkling and would never let him be hurt again.

The only problem was that he didn't have sparkling energon and it was hard to come by. Luckily Swindle owed him quite a bit and it was time to cash in those favors.

Although Ratbat had been weary at first he'd quickly opened up to him and his cassettes. Ratbat was happy and had found a place amongst their family. Although he noticed there was always an air of sadness around the sparkling. Sometimes when he slept he'd call out for his carrier or he'd stare off into the distance looking sad.

He wanted to help him but he didn't know who his carrier was. He only knew his name because it had been on the blanket he'd been wrapped in which was Nyonian in design.

Which only made the mystery surrounded Ratbat more confusing. Nyon had burned down and when he'd washed the sparkling off he did find ash but it was reported every Nyonian died.

How did Ratbat get there and where was his carrier? Every time he tried learning more about the sparkling he was left with more questions than answers.

A few weeks later and he'd been feeding a hungry Ratbat. When the Autobots decided to attack.

He set the sparkling down and rushed to help. He didn't realize Ratbat managed to hook himself onto his back wanting to help out.

Landing in the middle of the battlefield he began to fight the Autobots when he noticed something strange.

There was an Autobot in their ranks who looked like he had a death wish. At first he thought it was some new recruit wanting to impress their fellow soldiers but there was something about the way they were acting.

It seemed as though they were intentionally trying to die. Their optics looked empty and he walked with a heavy gate as though something was holding him down.

Something about the Autobot didn't look right but he couldn't focus on him. Not when he heard a sound that made his energon freeze in it's lines.

Ratbat who should have been safe in his room chirped loudly gaining unwanted attention. He tried to stop him but the sparkling wiggled out of his grasp and frantically flew towards the Autobot he'd been watching earlier.

He ran after him trying to get him to stop worried about what the Autobot would do if he got too close. Ratbat didn't care however and flew into the mechs arms.

The mech stood there frozen and then looked down at his sparkling. He grabbed his gun and was about to shoot him when he sobbed.

The Autobot pulled Ratbat closer and collapsed onto the ground. Protecting the sparkling the mech held him close and that's when he realized the Autobot was Ratbats carrier and it didn't look like he had a choice in being an Autobot.

Looking around the battle seemed almost over and he knew he needed to get both of them out of there. He had a feeling the carrier didn't abandon his sparkling and someone else had taken him and had been using Ratbat against him knowing how protective carriers are of their young.

After removing the chains wrapped around the Nyonian he picked him up and carried him back to his room. Letting the carrier hold his sparkling so he didn't think he was trying to separate the two of them.

Merformers in the storyline of Roddy and Soundwave having finally met each other and became mates after Roddy was forced to carry his clutch alone.

Roddy finally has the clutch and Soundwave is very protective of his pups, growling and hissing at anyone who comes close. Only Ratchet is allowed around them to ensure they're healthy but he still gets a hiss or two, because Soundwave is a good mate who will do anything for his tired mate and their beautiful litter.

When Soundwave induced labor it had been quite a shock and he'd looked at the other mer frantically feeling unprepared.

The people who worked at the facility were also freaking out and trying to find a way to help him. However Soundwave kept hissing and snapping at them getting more aggressive every time he cried out in pain.

The mer was obviously worried they were going to hurt his mate and take him away.

He found himself clinging to Soundwave who brought him to his nest. It wasn't perfect and even in pain he felt ashamed thinking it wasn't good enough for his family.

His mate reassured him that it was perfect. Both of them distracted when he cried out in pain feeling the pup leave his gestation chamber.

He felt tears in his optics as he struggled. Birthing fluids flooded the area and he whined.

Soundwave tried to reassure him the entire time glaring and warning the workers to stay away. He wasn't leaving Hot Rod's side ever again.

His slit spasmed and he knew it wouldn't be long before his pups were born.

Ratchet having enough of the chaos came over and threatened to sedate Soundwave which would cause him to miss his pups being born.

Soundwave had stubbornly held him and even hissed at Ratchet but let him do his work.

Ratchet was careful as he swam inside their tank. He knew at any moment Soundwave could snap and try to kill him for hurting his mate.

He checked him over and knew the pups were ready to come out. Hot Rod screamed and began to push causing the pups head to poke out. He directed him where he could but at this point it was all instinct that helped Hot Rod push.

He ended up having five pups who were greedily drinking his milk as he laid there exhausted. Soundwave held his mate close and glared at him to leave now that the pups were out. Not wanting to stick around he climbed out and documented what happened.

Hot Rod lay barely awake with Soundwave cleaning him and scooting their pups closer making sure they were warm and cozy.

He pressed against his mate breathing in his scent and happy he was there to help him because he didn't know what he'd do without him.

The two mers cuddled together with Soundwave protectively watching over his family while Hot Rod fell asleep with their pups.

Hot Rod having piercings on his chest and node and being very embarrassed by them since, in Nyon, it signified him wanting to be bred full of sparklings. He tells himself none of his partners would know what they mean but surprise!

Soundwave studied up on Nyonian traditions for Hot Rod and is very excited to have a little or two with him when Hot Rod reveals the piercings to him. He's going to make sure he stuffs his partner with transfluid until he looks like he's already carrying. 💖💖💖

The two of them made out their frames heating up as they touched everywhere they could. Soundwave pulled him into his lap and played with his spoiler causing him to squirm and pant with need.

Soundwave touched a sensitive area on his chest and his chest plating opened up. He looked down in surprise and embarrassment when he saw his pouches.

The piercings on his nipples drawing Soundwave's attention. As he looked at them in surprise. He blushed and squirmed feeling embarrassed because of the meaning behind the piercings. In Nyon it signified wanting to be bred and filled with sparklings.

The meaning was embarrassing and he thought about getting rid of them but he could never bring himself to do it. They were one of the last things he had left of his home and they were important. Besides none of his partners had ever known what it meant. They just thought it was for pleasure only.

Shivering he kissed Soundwave who was still playing with his piercings. The Decepticons engine growled and he flipped him onto his back. He looked up at him in surprise as Soundwave kissed him.

"I learned about Nyonian culture because I wanted to show you that you mattered to me."

He felt tears in his optics because that was the nicest thing anyone had done for him until it truly sunk in what he was saying.

"You know."

"I'd love to have a few sparklings with you."

He whined giving Soundwave a needy look and the Decepticon laughed.

"You like that don't you? Does the idea of being stuffed with my transfluid until you look like your carrying appeal to you?"

He nodded eagerly whimpering as he looked up at Soundwave who played with his piercings looking down at him with lust in his optics.

"Don't worry Hot Rod I'll give you what you need. It won't be long before you are sparked."

Soundwave noticing Rodimus yawns more and recharges more often. He has less energy and sleeps in longer.

Soundwave is the first to notice and soon Drift is asking Rodimus whats wrong when he shows up to their hab after Rodimus is late to their amica bonding time.

Soundwave pieces it together when Rodimus rubs his tanks that’ve grown quite a bit

"Are you feeling alright?"

Rodimus looked up giving his mate a confused look.

"I feel fine. Why are you asking?"

"You seem tired lately."

He shrugged leaning against Soundwave as he looked over a datapad.

"Maybe."

"After you finish this why don't you get some rest?"

"Hmm."

Roddy nodded yawning as he finished the report he was working on and went to bed without complaint.

Soundwave thought that was the end of it. Except Rodimus looked as though he barely slept. Even though He'd just taken a nap. He was still tired and kept yawning as he moved around the kitchen.

He watched confused when Rodimus didn't pick his usual blend and instead chose his energon instead. Which Rodimus had told him in the past tasted terrible.

He was about to question him about it when Rodimus looked at the time. His optics widened as he panicked a little.

"I overslept and now I'm late."

He dashed out of their room barely able to say goodbye as he went to see his Amica for their usual movie night.

He tried dismissing the thought that something was wrong. He was being paranoid and Rodimus was fine. He probably had trouble sleeping or something.

Even as he thought that. He sent a quick message to Drift asking him to keep an optic out for his Conjunx.

He decided to clean up their apartment while he waited for Rodimus wondering if he was stressed and that's why he was so tired.

He thought about having them take a much needed vacation and began looking at a time when they could take a week off.

He was distracted by Drift sending him a message asking why Rodimus was so tired. He told him that he's been unusually tired for a while now and that he took a nap earlier that day.

Now that Drift was noticing it as well. He was sure something was wrong and thought about having Rodimus see Ratchet.

Rodimus ended up coming home a lot earlier than usual and looked drained. He'd immediately climbed into bed and fallen asleep.

He tried sleeping as well but he couldn't. Every time he tried he'd have nightmares about something being wrong with Rodimus.

He laid in bed watching Rodimus sleep and trying to reassure himself that he was mostly fine.

He wrapped his arms around Rodimus and pulled him closer. His hands brushed against his middle section and that's when he felt it. He froze looking at Rodimus in shock when he realized what was happening.

He kissed the back of his head and pulled him closer. Even though he was excited and wanted to ask Rodimus about it he didn't want to wake him especially when he needed the rest.

He forced himself to fall asleep planning on asking Rodimus about it first thing in the morning.

can we get part two of soundwave kidnapping Hotrod to make ratbat happy?

When he woke up he found himself chained to a bed with Soundwave nearby. He glared at the Decepticon demanding he release him.

"No. Ratbat wants to keep you and I can't have you wandering around the Decepticons base."

He glared and struggled to get out of his hand cuffs.

"I'm an Autobot and shouldn't be here."

"You're Ratbats caretaker now."

Soundwave opened his chest plating and Ratbat flew out. The sparkling chirped happily and cuddled against his chest for warmth.

He glared at Soundwave who was watching the two of them.

"I'm not staying."

"Yes you are. Now be a good little carrier and let your coding activate."

He looked at him in surprise because no one was supposed to know that. He then noticed a warning telling him that his coding was starting to activate. Panicking he gave Soundwave an accusing look.

"You did this to me."

"I didn't do anything. Your body has already decided that it's Ratbats caretaker."

The sparkling nuzzled against him and he could feel his coding desperately trying to activate. It was embarrassing because he didn't want anyone to know and because his chest plates were trying to open.

He glared at Soundwave refusing to back down.

"I'm not going to join your cause."

"You don't have to. All you have to do is take care of my cassettes."

"Why? Because you can't take care of them yourself. Especially Ratbat who you let wander around the middle of battlefields almost getting hurt."

Soundwave glared and his engine growled clearly unhappy with his words. He would have been pleased if Ratbat hadn't interrupted them.

He'd been nuzzling at his chest plates this entire time but now he was chirping hungrily.

He glanced down at the little cassette and then back at Soundwave.

"I can't feed him like this. Do you have a bottle or something?"

Soundwave immediately gave Ratbat a guilty look.

"We're out of sparkling energon."

"What?!"

"We've been trying to ration it as we look for more but there isn't more. Sparkling energon isn't a priority and the ones we have found have been poisoned."

He stared at Soundwave in shock having no idea. Now that he was really looking at him he could see how exhausted he was. He'd been desperately searching for sparkling energon while having to watch his bitty constantly worried he wouldn't be able to feed him.

Soundwave almost looked ready to cry as Ratbat kept chirping hungrily. He shifted in discomfort having no idea what to say or do.

He had no idea sparkling energon was in short supply or that people were poisoning it. He didn't even know what kind of a monster would do that.

Ratbat made a strange noise that made Soundwave tense worried for his sparkling. He looked down in confusion feeling his chest plates suddenly open much to his shock.

Looking down his once empty pouches were now filled with energon and he stared at them while Ratbat eagerly latched on.

He glanced back at Soundwave feeling embarrassed as his pouches were suddenly exposed. He had tears in his optics and Soundwave sensing his distress covered him with a blanket.

He then crouched down surprising him even more when he pleaded with him to help.

"Please Hot Rod we need you. Ratbat will die if he doesn't eat."

He looked down at the sparkling who was hidden by the blanket and then back at Soundwave. He felt horribly conflicted because he wasn't a Decepticon and didn't want to stay there for who knows how long chained to his bed but he also couldn't let an innocent sparkling suffer.

"Fine I'll stay."

"Thank you."

Soundwave sighed in relief giving him a grateful look.

"Let me get you some energon so you can refill as well."

Soundwave left the room and he watched him go. Surprised by how expressive Soundwave could be and that he didn't know the Decepticon at all. Just like his teammates they all saw him a certain way and now he's realizing how wrong they've been.
