Notes: I have no clue what universe this is, and just for some idea I'll just put 07/09 movie with some sentences lending to a G1 cartoon AU of some sort.
===========================================
#01 - Motion
Autobots, especially the cocky frontliners, tended to swagger just like Decepticons; so it was odd to witness one skitter from one shadow to the next, even as the flash of a rifle marked another Decepticon down for the count.
#02 - Cool
The first time he had heard the Communication mech speak he had shivered at the cold monotone and felt the musical reverberations made it that much more of a sign of danger, like being lured to your death and not realizing such due to the pretty light in front of you.
#03 - Young
Neither really remembered meeting as younglings barely given their full protoforms, when the war had broken out and they had huddled together under debris before being separated and ending up on opposite sides.
#04 - Last
The hum of a connection finally taking had caused blue optics to widen in sudden realization and then nothing as his motor functions gave out once the virus managed to get through his already crumbling firewalls.
#05 - Wrong
He had what he came for-as the one who fought him curled into a little ball of misery as the virus ate away at the little autobot’s cpus-and he could take his time in dealing with the autobot that fought him every inch of the way, but Soundwave didn’t want to destroy the little mech lying before him, he rarely met such who could match him that well in battles over security systems.
#06 - Gentle
It was almost believable when he was picked up as if he was going to break, but the agony in his mind as he still fought what Soundwave wanted of him made it a farce he was certain everyone saw through.
#07 - One
That was all it had taken, and still he had to recheck the calculations before he even thought of allowing the mech out of stasis lock.
#08 - Thousand
They had done this so many times that Red Alert wondered if he could set up a defensive parameter in recharge against the technopath.
#09 - King
The Decepticons followed Megatron with an almost fanatical want-depending on their insanity merging with their loyalty levels- and Red Alert could only wonder what would happen if Soundwave were to ever stop playing as the loyal lap dog.
#10 - Learn
“Desired outcome: only me you shall follow, it will be done and to your very core.”
#11 - Blur
Part of him seemed to giggle as his optics began to malfunction even as a voice, which sounded oddly like the Decepticon Soundwave, was telling him that wasn’t true and moved through his thoughts.
#12 - Wait
Most never saw the almost obscene amount of time both sides waited and watched for an opening to attempt knocking the other down.
#13 - Change
It was a pity how clueless the autobots were about their own security director, that none saw the changes slowly happening each time he came across him in battle or patrol.
#14 - Command
He wasn’t even allowed to scream as he watched his own body betray him and do as Soundwave wanted.
#15 - Hold
He wandered the base undisturbed, most knowing he was kept in line with means they couldn’t see, and Soundwave kept such charades up when he would periodically fight that seething mind behind close doors to keep the obedience strong.
#16 - Need
When Ratchet had to physically restrain him to a medical berth to keep him there, he knew somewhere nearby that mech was already assured of his victory.
#17 - Vision
It had been at least an orn since he had disabled his optics and Soundwave was growing impatient with the little mech’s defiance and attempt to keep Soundwave from his mind through his optics.
#18 - Attention
He had stood in the back as Megatron had given one of his speeches about the corruption of the council, as if it was some new concept that anyone not sheltered or with the council had no clue about; so he had watched the ones who were the suppose inner circle of the one speaking.
#19 - Soul
The steady hum of the spark in the curled figure was a pleasant reminder of what he was capable of when he wanted something, even as the blank blue optics powered up and watched him avidly.
#20 - Picture
The holopads had been one of the first things destroyed, by his own hands as Soundwave wanted, and he almost didn’t manage it when the one of him and Inferno before he even knew who Soundwave was flashed on.
#21 - Fool
Despite what he had done to the little autobot, he was still treated with the same deference by the rest of the faction and that made Soundwave ponder at times if they were all just war happy fools.
#22 - Mad
The rare times he could throw off the influence, he had launched himself at his captor hissing and growling, reminding all that witnessed he was the same model type as the twins that tended to cause grief to the seekers and they were all a bit glitched in the programming.
#23 - Child
It was like a youngling, the way the little autobot clung to Soundwave, and it was interesting to hear the various thoughts and reactions of both factions over this and how the relationship was not that innocent.
#24 - Now
Sometimes when he should be recharging he wondered what would be different in that moment if he had been a little bit stronger on his first assignment.
#25 - Shadow
They called the autobot a mere mockery of what he once was, that he used to taunt the rest of that emotional faction, however true that was he was still figuring out.
#26 - Goodbye
When he had left the hub that day for his first assignment he wished he’d said goodbye a little longer; all things considered now.
#27 - Hide
The red and white had hid himself well under memories and random data, instead of being foolhardy and attacking him head on during that encounter; it kept him alive, but if the autobot felt that was a curse or not didn’t really matter.
#28 - Fortune
Inferno had tried to get him not to go, he recalled one day while Soundwave was in a meeting, and he had brushed it aside because orders were orders.
#29 - Safe
It had been over two vorns and Soundwave was still attempting to get past that last little bit of firewall where, now obsolete, information of the autobot army was; just because once it was open and under his control the mech would stop fighting him as much.
#30 - Ghost
Soundwave could move almost as stealthily as Ravage, despite his size, and so Red Alert could never truly relax knowing Soundwave would appear without warning.
#31 - Book
The datapads had been an odd whim, but after being told to act like a sparkless drone for so long; the small allowance to show he was still aware behind his controls was like a twisted reward to a pet, that Soundwave decided to see where it would go in cementing the obedience.
#32 - Eye
Technopaths were always talked about as being able to break into a cpu with optic to optic contact, and was why Soundwave wore the optical band; yet he knew the optical band was a false sense of comfort as he didn’t need to take it off to do as he pleased.
#33 - Never
His control slipped and the red and white quickly took the chance, the reports of the autobot moving swiftly through the base and out while he had been away on a mission for Megatron, had made him quirk his lips slightly behind his battlemask; the mech would be back within the orn.
#34 - Sing
The hum kept getting louder and louder that it started to drown out the sound of Ratchet yelling for Wheeljack and the ringing of medical equipment, and he just wanted it to stop.
#35 - Sudden
The fascination for the Autobot known as Blaster had shifted-leaving only the ire of continuously being thwarted- to the little of no importance security bot with no warning that he was already two plans into capturing him before Soundwave knew what was going on.
#36 - Stop
Maybe, if there had been no war or factions he would have stopped fighting long ago.
#37 - Time
The war could be seen everywhere and how it had escalated as the once bright lights began to fade and talks of sending troops off planet for energy resources happened, yet it seemed to not touch the still fighting pair as neither could get out of the stalemate they were in.
#38 - Wash
The blast had sent ash and melted metal everywhere making it hard to see and tell who was who until the odd organic weather system let the rain fall, and the illusion of being somewhere else was loss when the purple symbol began showing up past the grit on those around him.
#39 - Torn
Stubborn will was the only thing keeping that autobot going, even as Soundwave saw how much the rest of him wanted to just give up and let him finish the modifications on him.
#40 - History
Some of the older autobots tended to make comments about before the war, while many just listened out of respect before going back to their training, here the Decepticons don’t talk about a time before there was war.
#41 - Power
Some of the front line grunts had wondered why he didn’t perform the same feat on a key officer of the autobots, and Soundwave didn’t feel the need to explain how much the other needed to be able to fight to still have a functioning cpu after the program was uploaded.
#42 - Bother
He had started taking a page from the book of the cassetteicons when it came to his attitude towards most of the Decepticon faction, just because it was the closes thing to rebellion he could get at times.
#43 - God
The security bot had never asked for Primus, and instead just kept silent in vocalizer and cpu when others would have been asking why of their suppose grand creator.
#44 - Wall
He had felt it deep in his spark, when the almost audible snap and groan of every defensive programming he had set up around his memories finally fell.
#45 - Naked
Without the protective armor covering that bit of protoform upon the red and white mech, Soundwave found it easier to find the wires to pull and twist into snapping as he rerouted the data flow physically when programs had failed to do so.
#46 - Drive
He couldn’t see how the war kept moving no matter how many times each side nearly destroyed the other, and could only wonder why Soundwave went along with the reckless abandon of those around him when Red Alert knew he was far more calculating then this.
#47 - Harm
Soundwave would idly wonder, when recharge was elusive and Megatron was too busy to bother him, about the time when the little autobot would be beyond repair of even his control.
#48 - Precious
He had been called a precious thing and that monotone voice held such mocking somehow that Red Alert wanted to scream, but could only snarl in his own mind as he felt the possessive hold on his helm tighten a bit.
#49 - Hunger
Soundwave had not even bothered to be present when Hook had to make a direct line to his energon processors, knowing it was just one last desperate act of defiance that would either have him lose his toy or show the autobot it was useless.
#50 - Believe
There had been an oath he had followed once, dimly he recalled, but it was just a small annoying thought that came up from time to time when he was not helping Soundwave destroy whatever defense system the ones with the red symbol had made.
