Seduction by Foe
1 – Infection
Soundwave worked. It was part of his role, of course, and it was his role to
control communications. But he was also a sounds expert, and able to see into
someone else’s mind. Another thing that he prided himself on was the ability
to create dangerous viruses.
Which was what he was working on now.
This particular virus was supposed to get into the Autobots CPU, and make their
nightmares become realities. It would fry their CPU to ash, and Soundwave thought
it was a brilliant plan. After all, he had thought it up himself.
As he was finishing the last part of the coding for the virus, a power surge
shot though the computer console, corrupting the file. Soundwave was thrown
back a bit from the shock, but recovered and stood up from his fall on the floor.
The blue decepticon then restarted the computer, and proceeded to continue work,
but all of a sudden, the virus activated on its own. The wave machine next to
the computer suddenly sent out a wave of radio energy, spreading all though
the base in a matter of seconds, infecting most with the virus.
But what the virus now was, was a complete mystery.

“Energon, energon, energon! That’s all he ever thinks about!”
Currently, the red seeker known as Starscream the Air Commander was sitting
at another console, in his quarters. At the moment, he was working on a project
for his leader, Megatron, who was in the base somewhere. Still, he would rather
be flying or doing something useful than sitting here typing.
“Stupid jerk,” He grumbled, thumping at the keys in annoyance. “This
is drone work!”

What was that?
Megatron currently stood in one of the hallways when he felt something. It was
like a tingle though his body for a split second, before going, but it was enough
to catch the Decepticon leader’s attention. He did a system check, and
found that everything seemed operational …
Except …
He had an insane urge to go to Starscream’s quarters! What the hell?!
His normal mind saw this as completely stupid … but ….
The Virus now had a hold over him. And because of the amount of hatred, and
his ego, it was affecting him badly. Very badly.
He ran, not knowing what he was about to do.

The red seeker barely looked up when someone opened his door. There had been
a commotion outside of his door … mechs running past, screaming and yelling.
It was enough to irritate the Air Commander to no end.
“Whoever it is, go away or I’ll …” He stoped short when
he actually turned to see who it was.
“Oh! Megatron!” He gasped in surprise. His leader wasn’t due
to pick up his report for another few hours.
Megatron stood in the doorway, staring at his second in command. The virus
in him had spread all though his body by now, and he found himself thinking
about just how beautiful the seeker in front of him was. The vivid red of his
armour stood out very nicely against the silver of most of his body, and the
blue blended perfectly with it. But his wings … oh he loved how there
was the bright purple insignia upon them, as well as the lines of blue, red
and white …
The silver android stepped into the room, and Starscream was getting a bit unnerved
by the intense look his leader was giving him. As Megatron stepped slowly into
the room, Starscream stood up, staring back at him.
“Uh … is something wrong?” He asked, stepping around his chair
into the open room.
“Hmm …” Megatron replied, stopping about a metre away from
his second. “No … I don’t think so, but thanks for asking
…”
Starscream stared at him. Okay, this was definitely not normal Megatron behaviour.
“M – Megatron aaah!!” He cried as Megatron suddenly grabbed
him, crushing the seeker against himself. It was then he did something totally
unexpected.
Megatron clamped his lips over Starscream’s mouth in a forced kiss.
