It hasn’t been the same, not after that day. You see, ever since Megatron discovered dark Energon, he had been able to resurrect and being dead Cybertronians back to life-but only for them to be in a zombie-like way. Soon, it was spreading, Cybertronians all over Iacon fleeing the city. Some were even infected and now roam around the ruins, some were walking around without any purpose. Most the city was in ruins, the last of the voices in the city all silenced and disappeared from the once bustling city. Of course, there are survivors, some like Soundwave. He has been scavenging and protecting his cassettes from the zombies. He was just getting some items from an abandoned supermarket when a zombie spotted him. Their speed was slow yet it was getting closer. Soundwave immediately took as many as he could, stuffing it in his bag before running with the kids to their base (or rather their habsuite that it once was called). He immediately closed the door, locking it with the high technology before catching his breath. The kids were shivering in fear or the adrenaline from the chase. Soundwave puts the supplies away before heading down to the basement

In the basement, the lights flickered on. The place was filled with rations/supplies, artillery and even a huge glass wall cage separating something from the single dad and kids. He walked over to the glass, his steps purposeful and steady. He touched the tough, thick glass, looking over at the zombie Cybertronian in front of him. The zombie was no other than [ur oc]. You were Soundwave’s partner, a second parental figure to his cassettes. However, after you got infected during the apocalypse, you turned into a zombie. He decided to keep you behind the glass in the basement, not ready to let you go…

Soundwave: holding a servo to the glass “I miss you, my love…” he said in his deep voice, the kids watching from afar
