Control
Title: 'Control'
Rating: PG
'verse/series: G1/Headmasters (for simplicity)
Warnings: none, hinting to char. death.
Summary: musing on Galvatron and his insanity/sanity
Notes:
Taken from The Mystery of Planet Master from TF: The Headmasters. This isn't slash/yaoi, or at least isn't meant to hint at it, but if you want to look at it that way, have at it. This come from after I watched part of that episode and my impression from Galvatron. I see more of a friendship/loyalty thing going on. Whatever.
Not beta'd. Mistakes likely. If you wanna give a swing at it, I'd be happy if you did.

Galvatron valued control greatly for his own uses. It was control over his army that remained one of this most glorious triumphs. It was frigid control forged by fear, power, and knowledge that Galvatron was superior. It kept mechs in line and in their places where they should be.
The statement alone was its own irony. Galvatron had control but lacked it over himself all together. Mentally in-stable, prone to sudden hostility without no apparent provocation. Not even 'allies' where safe from his wrath. Over excessively violent. Insane, rash, uncontrollable. . .the list was large.
Watching the monitor that was showing a battle that he was not participating in except as spectator, he felt his grip on control slip. At first it was just slightly, only a fraction. And it wasn't the same kind of control that he was use to using against enemies and keeping his soldiers in line. As the mortal battle continued he didn't realize it was uselessness grabbing at the back of his processor. In those moments for the first time since his own mortal enemies resurrection he actually felt more in control of himself. But also in those moments, felt like he possessed none whatsoever.
It was the line between insanity and sanity.
It was then he silently realized that perhaps Soundwave was more of an asset than he realized before. Not to the Decepticon cause itself but to Galvatron. Soundwave had always been there, said a long suppressed side of Galvatron's processor. Loyal in his own way. He'd staid despite the changing tides of war and the new era where the past had stopped and the new beginning had begun. He'd staid despite Megatron's death and Galvatron's rise.
Just like now, as he watched the monitor, coming to some sort of conclusion, what had now become the past had been stopped. . .he was going to make sure the new beginning, began.
