Chap 6
Echo looked at Knock and Breakdown. Soundwave had given her his mask in place of her own until it can be fixed. She sighed softly and quietly thanked him as he walked out of the room and off to deal with Megatron. She was a bit afraid for him. The two were evenly matched. Then he cane back and looked at Echo, he was going to have to do what he never wanted to happen but he knows that Megatron will just keep harassing her. He looked at Knockout and nodded.
Echo was confused at what was going on. Soundwave led her over to an escape pod on the Nemesis and helped her in. She was scared and grabbed onto him. He carefully reassured her that they would meet again and this was for her safety "You trust me don't you?" She nodded "I trust you with my life." "Then lay back, you'll be alright," he said and gently pushed her down into a laying position on the seat and she looked around before she was put in forced stasis. Soundwave looked at her and carefully stroked her cheek and kissed her forehelm before stepping back and closing the lid and making sure it sealed shut. He walked over to his computer and gave the pod it's coordinates before sending a message to the Autobots on a planet called Earth that he was sending her to them to protect her. He asked them to be gentle with her and that she was antisocial. And to care with her until he can meet with her again. Optimus had agreed because he knew Echo and Soundwave long before the war and understood he was doing this for the femme he loved. Soundwave then sent the pod on it's way and then deleted any information about her leaving, about that she was ever on the Nemesis, almost everyone agreed to forget she had been here and soon made it look like Megatron was going crazy and seeing things.
After a long ride the pod finally crashed in the desert of Jasper, Nevada. Agent Fowler immediately went to work on telling the public it was just a military plane test. Autobots quickly made their way to the pod. Many of them was unsure and very doubtful since this was a Con Pod. Optimus reassured them that this con was harmless and worked on opening the pod. Luckily Echo wasn't injured in the crash landing. Ratchet did a scan, she was healthy. Arcee looked in and frowned as Bumblebee slowly walked forward to wake her from her force slumber. He carefully poked at her but she didn't wake so they carried her back to the base and set her on a medical berth. The kids were excited, they never seen a con up close, except Miko.
Fowler was speaking with Optimus.
"Please listen Agent Fowler, Echo is harmless." "Harmless! You expect me to believe that a Decepticon is harmless after all they did here!" He said loudly. "Yes. I knew her before the war started. She is, as you humans say, shy and antisocial. She's never hurt anyone. I don't think she's ever fought anyone in her life." Optimus stated "Echo is an innocent femme jerked into the war." "Innocent? How so?" He asked. Optimus was beginning to compare Echo to Arcee so they can tell the difference.
Echo shifted and slowly opened her optics, she waited for her vision to focus and she remembered that her mask, she was wearing, wasn't hers. 'Wait...that's not the Nemesis' ceiling.' She thought. She shifted again, something was very off. She heard voices she didn't recognize and panic set in making her leap from the berth and find a place to hide, which was under the computer. She curled up tight and softly clicked for help. The voices died down and the room she was in fell silent. Then pedesteps headed over to her spot and she tensed when a familiar voice spoke "Easy, Echo, your safe here." 'Orion..?' She thought and slowly peeked out from underneath the computer to see the familiar face of Orion, the data clerk from the library "Orion!" She chirped happily that she wasn't alone and scooted out and hugged him "I'm scared." He gently patted her back as he carefully hugged her shaking form "It's alright Echo, your safe here." Ultra Magnus was about to go off on her that his name wasn't Orion but Optimus when Ratchet glared at him to shut him up. She was visibly shaken up from waking in a new place. Echo peeked around at the place, seeing new faces and tiny things that looked kind of weird, one was sharply dressed and she tilted her helm and carefully reached over to poke it. Her digit barely touched it before she jerked back her servo and hid behind Optimus again. Agent Fowler watched her. He's never seen a Decepticon act this way before. She looked scared of everything. Even though it could be a ruse.
Echo looked at the tiny, sharply dressed thing and then it started to talk!! Was it talking to her or Orion? Then another tiny thing spoke, it had pink and black colors on it. Orion then turned to her and asked her to look up something called English. She looked it up like he asked then he asked her to speak in this language.
"-this language?-" she didn't speak in her voice but Soundwave's or any other but not her own. "Cool!" The pink and black thing shouted. She could understand it now. "-What is cool...?-" she asked softly. The little thing was about to go on a big talk when then little thing in a yellow orange color spoke first "Cool is actually a temperature between hot and cold, but we humans sometimes use it as a term for something that is really good or exciting." "-Human?-" she questioned and looked up the term and meaning and the rest that had to do with them. In less than thirty minutes she had been through the entire internet. She looked back at the humans "-Rafael, Miko, Jack, Agent William Fowler, and Mrs. June Darby.-" she printed to each of them as she spoke their names. "How do you know that?" Agent Fowler asked. And Optimus answered "She's like Soundwave, both are intelligent Cybertronians that sort through data and work with computers. She was probably going through Earth's internet." "In less that thirty minutes!" He asked and Optimus nodded "They need to gather data quickly. She knows more about planet Earth than you do just by going through the internet." "Seriously?" Miko asked with excitement. "So basically we have our own female Soundwave." Jack asked. Optimus nodded "That is correct." "Hey! Echo! Have you and Soundwave ever had a battle of wits???" Miko shouted. "-A battle of wits between us would be pointless, we both can share data between us and can search any answer in a matter of nanoseconds, why do you ask?-" Echo questioned. "Dang," she mumbled and looked at Echo "Can you do anything cool!" "-Like what? I cannot fight, I was never taught how nor did I need to learn this.-" echo replied.
This went on for the rest of the human day. Echo never revealed any personal information though. She kept that to herself, behind her...his mask she worried for Soundwave. Her spark cried in pain, wanting him near her again. She wanted to be safe and he was the safest place in the entire universe.
