Beast Wars:

The War beyond Space and Time

4 Million Years ago (or later…hard to tell…we'll say late Pliocene time period.)

Soundwave, Berserk, Ravage, Pulse, Laserbeak, and Buzzsaw were ejected out of the dimensional portal and found themselves free-falling to Earth. The G-force pressing on their bodies was too much for them as they blacked out as they crash-landed to the planet.

Soundwave was unconscious as his body was in Nighthawk mode as it went on a straight course to Africa, the sky growing lighter and lighter as he headed towards the ground. A hard bump woke up Soundwave as his body was ricocheting on the rocks, ground, and mountains as his body got pounded with dents and dust. Disoriented by the crash landing, he didn't notice when he skidded to a stop in the dirt, as the ground, rocks, sky, clouds, and grasses spun around his vision. Exhausted, he fell into stasis as his vision clouded.

He woke up days later, puzzled at the area around him. Soundwave tried to remember what happened, before he screamed in pain. Error signs overloaded his visor as he got a report of what was damaged to his systems. He tried to move, but a warning flashed on his visor. Soundwave suffered a lot of damage, but his T-Cog was one of the many internal damages done to his systems. His armor was heavily damaged, some of his lights were shattered, and he felt some contorted limbs inside him. He sighed, then decided to focus on his dark matter powers to try to heal himself. It was worth a shot in the dark; it couldn't be worse than the state that he was in now. Soundwave focused on his dark matter powers, but he stopped and hissed at the pain from his systems. Dark matter was wrecking some havoc on his systems with all of his internal damage.

Soundwave stopped and thought for a moment; sure the dark matter hypothesis of healing himself would possibly put him in stasis lock, but he would go offline if he didn't receive medical attention soon. While he was thinking, some energy fields began to creep through his dents and cracks in his armor, causing Soundwave to scream in pain when it started to do internal damage. No time to think it over…need to try to use dark matter to heal self thought Soundwave as he began focusing on his powers again. Dark matter and dark energy seeped out of his body and began repairing his systems. His armor healed, and he managed to heal most of his internal damage, but he felt weak when he tried to do more work. Apparently, with his systems heavily damaged and his usage of his dark powers, it took a toll on his body, leaving him drained. I'll heal my T-Cog later thought Soundwave as he relaxed and allowed his glassy armor to absorb the sun's light.

A loud boom caught Soundwave's attention as he detected two comets streaking across the sky and landing in two different places. Curious, he tried to levitate, but was unable to due to low energy. Sending out his tentacles, he dragged himself across the grassland to one of the two impact zones. If someone was watching the downed transformer, the site would have been funny as Soundwave's tentacles were spread all over the place as he tried to drag himself across the ground. He managed to make a little headway at a time as he moved across the grass; its blades slightly tickling his tentacles and his sensitive armor.

It took him over an hour to make it to the mountains in the distance from his crash site when a bright explosion caught his attention. Intrigued at what was going on, Soundwave moved himself in the direction of the blast. How he wished that he had his old deployer, Laserbeak, so he could see what was going on up ahead. He could understand where he was and what was going on up ahead. Before he could get much further, the blasts ahead of him stopped, and silence was heard in the area.

After a little decision, he decided to head for where he wanted to originally go to; the crash site to his right. After much turning, he headed for his first choice of a destination. It took him a few hours to cover the distance, but he heard a loud explosion coming from a mountain. His tentacles took notice of the high energon levels within the destroyed mountain. Energon crystals…and a high quality too! I wish that we found crystals like that back home thought Soundwave as he changed his direction yet again and headed for the mountain.

It took him hours for Soundwave to make it to the mountain and to crawl up to the slopes. He managed to make it to the crystals before dawn, and the view was spectacular from his position. He sent out a few tentacles to harvest some of the energy for himself; his tentacles sucking up the energon much on how someone uses a straw to drink a milkshake. It wasn't long before he noticed a few animals walking up the mountain; the herd consisting of a Tyrannosaurus, a pterosaur, a tarantula, a wasp, and a scorpion. Deciding to stay out of sight, Soundwave moved himself until he was hanging from the ceiling of the overhang of the mountain. He quickly noticed that a gorilla, a rhino, a rat, a cheetah, and a velociraptor were also entering the energon crystal mountain along with the first herd.

Soundwave managed to pick up the conversation between the two groups as the Tyrannosaurus was stating on how he was chased across the galaxy to that planet, and the gorilla gave a small rebuttal. The two groups attacked each other, with the cheetah fighting the wasp, the Tyrannosaurus fighting the gorilla, the rhino fighting the pterosaur, the rat fighting the tarantula, and the raptor fighting the scorpion. He watched silently as the Tyrannosaurus transformed then fired his missiles at the gorilla, but the raptor sent the missile flying towards the crystal. Soundwave panicked, and then began moving to get out of the mountain. His energon levels were too low to fly, so he tried crawling fast, but the mountain exploded and sent him flying across the sky before he rammed into a cliff before he free-fell to the ground below. Seekers were flying around his helm as he lay there, dazed and confused. Stasis overcame him as he fell into recharge that day.
