At the urging of the [[Mistress of Flame]], the [[Council of Worlds]] and the Primes—including [[Alpha Trion]]—withdraw to the [[Spire]] to discuss matters together, behind closed doors instead of in the middle of the street, leaving Soundwave behind.		...but today, he finds himself in a mine once more, in [[Kentucky]], on [[Earth]], mining [[Ore-13]] for [[Cybertron (planet)\|Cybertron]], and wonders if it was all worth it.

	Happy to see that the word of a Prime is not being taken as law, Soundwave brings news of Onyx Prime's return to a group of Decepticons visiting from Sanctuary Station. [[Dreadwing (G2)\|Dreadwing]] and [[Needlenose (G1)\|Needlenose]] aren't convinced this isn't the beginning of a slide back to the way things once were, so Soundwave invites them, [[Swift (G1)\|Swift]], and [[Tracks (G1)\|Tracks]] to accompany him to the Spire so they can learn for themselves. There, Liege Maximo is being guarded by [[Beachcomber (G1)\|Beachcomber]], [[Seaspray (G1)\|Seaspray]], and two of Onyx's "[[Maximal]]" beast-bots; feeling guilty after a recent error of judgement concerning Starscream, Beachcomber allows Soundwave five minutes to speak with Maximo, but Soundwave is unable to obtain any information from the Prime of Lies, as he finds he cannot read his mind. He instructs the rest of the group to wait while he ascends the Spire to the Council meeting chamber...

He instructs the rest of the group to wait while he ascends the Spire to the Council meeting chamber...

	Floors above, Onyx and the Council discuss matters. Onyx is happy to see Cybertron becoming united again after millions of years of disharmony, but Alpha Trion reminds him that, misguided though they were, the Decepticons' rebellion against the [[Functionism]] that arose from the Primes' tribal divisions of the populace was ultimately a good thing. Onyx is suspicions of [[human]]ity after the [[First Strike\|recent invasion]], however, and claims to have the power to repair Cybertron's tainted, diminished [[energon]], freeing the planet from its current reliance on Earth. Optimus flushes with anger; he is in no rush to accept Onyx at face value, given the threat [[Galvatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Galvatron]] warned he posed. Windblade objects to Optimus speaking this way, as he has no official rank within the council any more, but the Mistress of Flame comes to Optimus's defense, still steadfast in her belief that, as "[[The Arisen]]," Optimus is the future of Cybertron. Trion tries to calm the Mistress, but she persists, reminding them of Onyx's attack on [[Caminus (planet)\|Caminus]]... an attack Windblade knew nothing about. The arguing escalates, and Optimus calls for calm, making the point that Galvatron ''was'' the worst of the worst, so perhaps they shouldn't take his words too seriously...

	...which is the precise moment Soundwave bursts into the room. Hearing Optimus advocating for Onyx proves to be the tipping point; Soundwave angrily announces his refusal to let the Decepticons stand idly by while the old Prime-led regime reasserts itself. Then, as everyone argues, and just as Alpha Trion realizes something awful about Onyx, a massive explosion of unknown origin suddenly rips through the Spire. It is in this moment of lost focus that Soundwave's mind dances through time; a moment later, he pulls himself together and surveys the damage, noticing that Alpha Trion has taken the worst of the blast. Soundwave rushes to his side, but it is too late: the old 'bot has perished. The accusing finger of Onyx points at Soundwave—the explosion, the Lord of Beasts declares, must be the work of the Decepticons, and as it has claimed the life of a Prime, it shall fall to the Primes to seeks justice. Soundwave and the Decepticons will now be tried alongside Liege Maximo for their crimes!		...which is the precise moment Soundwave bursts into the room.

	In a moment of lapsed focus, [[Soundwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Soundwave]]'s super-senses overwhelm him, and his mind drifts back in time... back to when he was supervisor in the mines of [[Moonbase Two\|Luna 2]] under the overseeing eyes of [[Sentinel Prime (G1)\|Sentinel Prime]] and [[Prowl (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Prowl]], when [[Ravage (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Ravage]] was still helping him learn to focus his abilities. Then, his thoughts move forward to the recent past, to when [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Optimus Prime]] blackmailed him into working at his side, threatening to fracture the Decepticon dream he had built aboard [[Sanctuary Station]] by revealing that Soundwave was responsible for taking [[Horri-Bull]]'s life.

	...but today, he finds himself in a mine once more, in [[Kentucky]], on [[Earth]], mining [[Ore-13]] for [[Cybertron (planet)\|Cybertron]], and wonders if it was all worth it. As he ruminates, a call comes through from [[Aileron]]; ''something'' has happened on Cybertron. Soundwave heads to [[Autobot City (G1)\|Autobot City]], where [[Pyra Magna]] and the [[Torchbearer]]s are on standby, awaiting what Pyra believes is an inevitable call to action to save Cybertron—but until such a call comes, she isn't going anywhere, so Soundwave heads through the [[Space bridge\|Space Bridge]] to Cybertron alone. He is unprepared for the sight that greets him: [[Nemesis (~~BWII~~)\|the colossal eyeball-ship]] of [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Onyx Prime]], who now descends to the surface of the planet to meet with its leaders. Onyx asks to speak with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Optimus Prime]] alone, Prime-to-Prime, to discuss the fate of his prisoner, [[Liege Maximo]], but [[Windblade (G1)\|Windblade]] denies the request. At the urging of the [[Mistress of Flame]], the [[Council of Worlds]] and the Primes—including [[Alpha Trion (G1)\|Alpha Trion]]—withdraw to the [[Spire]] to discuss matters together, behind closed doors instead of in the middle of the street, leaving Soundwave behind.		...but today, he finds himself in a mine once more, in [[Kentucky]], on [[Earth]], mining [[Ore-13]] for [[Cybertron (planet)\|Cybertron]], and wonders if it was all worth it.

	From a nearby rooftop, [[Scoop (G1)\|Scoop]] and the [[Constructicon (G1)\|Constructicons]] watch the scene. The fact that [[Starscream (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Starscream]] knew about Onyx's arrival despite being locked away in prison has proven "miraculous" enough to re-ignite Scoop's dormant faith, but the other Constructicons aren't buying it, and suggest he find a different drum to bang.
