This is the story of my time in Equestria, as Shockwave, with Soundwave.

Some pony's might think that this is a typical LoHAV story, well it is not, a LoHAV story usually starts with the main character getting sucked through a portal while dressed up as a villain at a convention and then arriving at Equestria as that villain. No, my story has me getting sucked into a portal in my own home, living in a hellish limbo for who knows how long. Then coming to Equestria as a villain with another villain from the same franchise as the form you have taken assisting you in anything. These are our adventures.

Prologue: The Void

Most people say that the day that changed their lives forever would usually be the cliche...the day I met my soul-mate, the day I got married, the day I have kids, the day I graduated from high school or college, any of those. But not for me, I was only seventeen when that faithful day happened. It was some day after I found out that family was going to go through another divorce. First it was my biological dad and mother, since my biological mom was an irresponsible jerk that did nothing with her life, but now it's because my step-mom is too much of a stress creator for my dad. My dad is okay, he can be a little pushy in the afternoon after having too many drinks.

Oh, how rude of me, I forgot to introduce myself. Hi I'm Emilio, I'm in high school, average build, black hair, etc.

Back to what i was saying, it was just like any other day for me, waking up in the best room in the house since I had the largest (40 inch) and only flat-screen TV/computer in the house and only one in the house with retro devices like a laserdisc player, cassette deck, 8-track deck, and a VHS player...with surround sound. Yes I also had the basic DVD and Blu-ray players, but back to the story.

Got up, played on my computer, going to Fimfiction, Deviantart, Youtube, etc. Then did the morning chores as usual, took shower, blah, blah, blah. So it was around four o' clock in the afternoon when I noticed my TV was acting funny, it had spirals flying about the screen, I looked at it some more before tripping over a sock, my hand hitting the TV screen. I expected my hand to crack the screen, but instead the screen turned into a bright white light that absorbed my hand.

The only thing I said was, "What the fuck," before the light started to suck me into the TV, I attempted to stop it, but it was no use, so grabbed the largest thing i could grab, which was my Ipod and started to whack the frame of the TV in hopes of breaking the TV and ending this madness.

Whack! "Come on."

Whack! "Come on break it already!"

Whack! "JUST BREAK ALREADY DAMN IT!!!"

Crack! Whack!

As the frame started to break the screen turned off and it spit me out, "Thank god," I looked over and looked at the TV, "at least the TV looks like it will still work, what was that anyway?" I got up and grabbed my Ipod, which fell out my hand when I was thrown at the bed, I was glad to see that little to no damage was done to the Ipod. I looked back at the TV suspiciously before slowly waking towards my bedroom door in hopes that this weird experience was over, but nooo! I try to open the door, but it wouldn't budge. Next thing I know my room gets all dark with the only light being a reddish hue coming from behind. I turn around to see that the red hue was coming from the TV, which now had glowing tendrils sticking out of it, each one latched onto everything electrical in my room.

"What the..." I see one free tendril quickly fly around and wrapped itself around me and my Ipod.

"...Fuck Me"

The thing yanks me, causing me to fall onto the floor, the tendril dragging me to what appears to be my doom, as I look around I see all my electrical devices disappear around me, leaving anything that was not powered by some form of electricity. then I realized the one thing i forgot to do...yell for help.

"HELP HELP MY TV IS EATING ME ALIVE HELP!!!" But it was useless since my room was sound proof...should have that ahead about that.

As I was now slowly being consumed by the thing, spinning in fast circles, which was making me sick, I said the best words for the situation.

"IN MY LAST BREATH, I CURSE ZOIDBERG!!!"

The everything went black...not like out cold black, I was sure that I was still awake. It was pure darkness, absolutely pure. I no longer felt the tendril around me as I continued to float within the darkness. I still felt my Ipod in my hand and turned on the flashlight in hopes of being able to see more of what was within the darkness. All I could see though was all of my stuff orbiting around me.

"Mmm...looks like I'm the largest thing here then, bigger question is what here is?" I looked around some more before looking down at my Ipod, "Well...since I'm here I should play something that goes good with my situation."

So I scrolled through all my songs while I continued to float within the darkness. You may be wondering why I'm so calm about this whole thing, well that's because one of my philosophies in life was that you must always be optimistic, another one is that one must both embrace both the good and evil within one 's self in order to bring true happiness.

Okay...so back to the story, I'm floating in a weightless abyss of darkness with loads of technology orbiting around me as I listened to fitting music. I don't know how long I was in there, but I'm sure it was more than a day. Why? Because for some reason this place had so sense of any law of the universe because my Ipod continued to run even after the battery bar had hit zero and that my Ipod's internal calender said so.

=====

It had been already twenty-two days since I came to this void and I think I was starting to get lonely...and a little loopy.

"Thank goodness for all the music I have on this little guy, ain't that right bluey!" I turned to face the floating Blu-ray player passing by.

"..." The Blu-ray did not respond, but I didn't care.

"I know right...you know what I just realized everyone?" I said happily as I stared at the Ipod's screen.

"..."

"It's that I should be dead since I haven't eaten or drank anything that I would need to sustain myself. Oh and that I also haven't taken my medication in forever. Isn't that just hilarious!" The giddily laughed as I continued to float in the world of the impossible.

=====

"Emilio's log date April 20, 2015, it's now been one year since i came to this world and you know what...it sucks. There is no one to talk to, heck it has gotten to the point that I am talking to myself and the objects. At first it was just for fun, but now it's just getting creepy. I swear upon my life that I'm not the only living thing in here, since there are times that I hear something breathing down my neck, but when I turn around there is nothing there. In fact I'm starting to freak out cause of it. End Log"

Yes I started typing down logs onto my Ipod and reading them out loud to all my electrical devices/friends  and whoever else was out there. I also wonder if my friends and family miss me...not sure, by now I have probably been presumed dead or something like that and it seems as though there is no way out of this god forsaken place.

=====

"Emilio's log date September 22, 2017, it has been over three years since I have been trapped inside this void of darkness. Everything is going well, I figured out that everything is able to be turned on and used without any external power source. With that I was able to play around on my computer (no internet) and play some Halo and other games. Isn't that fantastic, but I fear that this solitude is slowly peeling away at my sanity since I thought I saw a light yesterday not too far away from here. Also I had that strange feeling again, but i shrugged it off. Happy Place...Happy Place. End log."

I swear I had lost it by now, I did find that this world was getting smaller or was I just getting bigger...oh well the reason was because I was able to find and touch all the borders of the once endless void within a couple of minutes now. What I also wondered was the fate of my favorite TV shows, like MLP FIM and Doctor Who, but I digress. There are more important things to worry about, like how am I going to continue to exist since this place is getting smaller every day.

Out of nowhere a flash of light appears before my eyes, blinding me for a short moment due to my adjustment to the darkness, but when my eyes open, I saw the most beautiful thing a lonely person like me has seen in forever, a swirling circle of colors that were so inviting.

"So pretty..." I said in a daze as I slowly shifted myself in order to get closer to it. The next thing I did in my state of stupidity was touch it, not poke it, not punch it, just a slight peck with my finger. The swirling stopped as the circle rippled around my finger, but then BOOM! The rainbow exploded around me, all my stuff struggled to keep orbit around me as I was thrown around the swirling room of rainbow death.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" I yelled out as I could feel my clothes and flesh rip away from me. Blood gushing from my body as I screamed. The pain was greater than the force of a thousand suns. I could feel my entire being slip away as my muscles started turning into dust, along with the rest of my pitiful body. Organs flew out of my body, as though they were trying to escape, my heart exploded into a billion peaces while my eyes began to bulge out of mt face. My stuff, the things that followed me on my journey to madness, which were now melting in front of my fucked up eyes, rammed onto my disintegrating body, attempting to fuse themselves as I continued to scream in agonizing pain. I started to smell the scent of burning flesh and plastic in my other hand as I realized that my Ipod had melted into it.

I yelled out, "FUCK...YOU...RAINBOWWWWWWwwwwwwww" before my head burst open, brain matter and blood spewing out as I took my last breathes.

"Rainbow of do-om...to the last...I gr-apple with thee...from he-ll's heart...I stab a-t thee..." I coughed up some blood before it too turned into dust, "F-or...hate's sa-ke...I...I...I...s-pit...my last-breath...at thee."

Then I died as the rest of my body, scared by the evils of the rainbow, turned to dust, and that dust turned to atoms, and then those atoms compressed together and dissipated in a flash of light.

=====

I fell, metal clanging and tree branches snapping as I plummeted through a forest canopy, to land flat on my back, my vision flickering incessantly like a bad video connection.  I struggled to my feet, stumbling as my legs sent feedback to my brain that felt like my lower limbs had gained some weight. I lifted a hand up, and touched my face in order to make sure I was actually alive, blinking wearily from my fall.  My hand grabbed what felt like was a oddly shaped hexagon-like structure. At first I was very confused at what I was on my head, did a helmet magically appear in my head. Moving my hand around some more I noticed that this 'helmet' had flat metal structures attached to the sides.

My hand grabbed one of the flat metal attachments and I tugged. Instead of the helmet coming off, however, I instead jerked my head forward uselessly.  I shook myself, still not fully registering the light clang and gentle scrape of metal on metal as I moved.  I put both hands to either side of my head, and tried to pull my helmet off, for some reason my left hand couldn't get a good grip as though all my left hand fingers were missing. Instead, it felt like I was pulling my own ears off.  I stopped, and finally caught a glimpse of my hands as they fell to my sides. I lifted them back up, and stared.

Only five, bulky, light tinted purple digits waggled back at me on my right hand. My left hand had no digits at all, but instead was comprised of a purple tinted rod-like structure that seemed to be shaped like a gun barrel. I touched the tips to one another, feeling the sensation of pressure against them as if they were my own hands, but they were not.

I then followed my fingers up my arms, noting the long, box-like pieces of metal that now made up my upper limbs, and the decidedly metallic sheen and perfectly-depicted Decepticon emblem on my lower arms, upside down from my perspective, but still could be clearly seen. I then looked down the rest of my body, noting the large, oddly shaped of metal that made up my chest, and the fact that my legs did, in fact, look heavier than the rest of my body.  I tested one out by standing on one leg and bending it around, getting used to how the new appendage moved.  I then looked around at the forest.

It was decidedly not the dead mini-forest that I had seen anywhere near my home.  Byers definitely didn't have trees like this when I was wandering around lost, that's for sure.  Which meant that I was no longer in Byers.  Which also meant that the abyssal hell that I had to live in had been real.  I decided it was a good time to freak out, and allowed my body to fall to the ground, shuddered, convulsing, and rattling in fear.

"Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit, holy SHIT!!  Where the hell am I?  What even happened?!  I need to find out.  Now.  Shivering on the ground in a body that isn't even yours isn't how you fix a problem."

"Shall I add that to the database, Lord Shockwave?"

"Who the fuck said that?!?"

"I believe my designation is 'Soundwave' sir."

That didn't just happen. I quickly stand up a look behind me to see a life sized G1 Soundwave standing just a few feet away from me.

Ok, either I've lost it or you are real...could you come other here please.

As you command Shockwave.

Soundwave walks over as I begin to to see more details on him than I remember from the classic G1 show, helping me realize that he was in fact real, and that I was now a slightly more detailed version of G1 Shockwave. I was now my favorite decepticon standing next to my second favorite decepticon, who also calls me his 'Lord'.

Is this preferable, sir?

It's...a start. Alright, then...Soundwave. Where the hell are we?

I do not know. I was not alive before a few minutes ago. I have no information beyond our abilities, and what I have collected since we appeared in this realm.

~That's just peachy, I am in a new world with Soundwave and he knows nothing about himself or this world, but he does know his name and my name at least.~

Your silence and stance indicate frustration.  Logic determines the source to be my lack of prior information.  It is possible for me to create a new data library for myself from your memories, sir.

I jabbed a bulky digit at him.

That...won't be necessary Soundwave, we can just form new memories from this point on...understand.

Understood.

We have more important things to think about, like where the hell we landed.

Would you like me have Laserbeak go above the trees and find the shortest route out, sir?

I stared for a minute. Despite how simple that sounded, it made sense. How could I forget that with Soundwave, comes the cassettecons as well.

Go ahead Soundwave.

Soundwave did the nostalgic action of pressing the upper left button on him, opening up his chest.

Laserbeak eject. Operation Information.

Laserbeak's red and black cassette body flew out of Soundwave, transforming into his buzzer-like form. The little metal bird gained altitude, and the sound of his wings brushing against leaves on the way up reached my ears.

Actually, that reminds me.

I reached up to my face again, and felt around my head. Yep, no ears. No actual face, either. Just an optic sensor.  Just an eye.  Oh, here comes another freak out.  Yep, back on the ground, shuddering uncontrollably as I realize that I have, in fact, the body of Shockwave.  I recovered from this one more quickly, though, as I forced myself to think about the positives.
