"It's been years since the war that brought Cybertron to ruin ended and since then the planet has been revived new buildings have been built, new bots sparked it's a new Cybertron." "But sadly I have no place on it."
"I spent most of the war under the command of my leader lord Megatron he treated me like scrap and the other Decepticons and even the Autobots didn't treat me any better." "I tried to get revenge on those who wronged me but ended up in a coma for my trouble and later came out of it and managed to escape the Autobots who captured me."
"I used an escape pod and got back to Cybertron and the Autobots are trying to hunt me down and it would probably be bad news if the Decepticons found me given my history there is no place for me." "So I was surprised when I received a transmission from Optimus Prime asking me for help and didn't know that this was going to change me forever." "My name is Starscream and this is my story."
_
Starscream opened the transmission from Optimus Prime it was in the form of a letter that read.
"Dear Starscream I know we have had our differences but the Autobots are in grave danger members of the fraction are disappearing we do not know who is behind it nor why and I am sending you on a mission to find out." "This is going to be dangerous and since your not an Autobot you may not be a target and I have not told any of the Autobots because they have much more to deal with battling the Decepticons and dealing with the New Counsel I am counting on you Starscream we all are."
"Optimus Prime."
"No you just need someone expendable!" Thought Starscream as he started to delete the transmission but for some reason didn't then flew off in search of energon.
_
After flying for a few minutes Starscream found himself being fired on by Smokescreen and Knock Out.
"Starscream we're here to take you in to Autobot custody." Yelled Smokescreen.
"Sorry but that's not going to happen." Replied the seeker.
"Hey Screamer why don't you make this easier on yourself and everyone and just surrender." Quipped Knock Out.
"Fat chance." Said Starscream. "And I thought you were a medic not a cop."
"The Autobots aloud me to come to help bring you in." Knock Out told him. "And I jumped at the chance."
"Well you can say you tried." Starscream huffed as he flew off in his jet mode with the two Autobots hot on his tail.
Starscream managed to lose Smokescreen who was right behind him when he flew higher in his jet mode and knew being grounders Smokescreen and Knock Out couldn't follow him and went back to where he had been hiding in the old ruins of Voss.
This place had special meaning to him it had been his city before it was destroyed in the war this had been his home. He was now using it as a hideout knowing no one would look for him here. Only to be proven wrong when he found Knock Out there waiting for him.
"I kind of figured you would come to the old seeker capital to hide so I came here to wait for you." Knock Out said while casually leaning against the side of a building.
"Oh scrap." Starscream thought Knock Out had managed to anticipate where he was going and beat him there while he was busy trying to lose Smokescreen.
Knock Out started to walk to where Starscream was standing with one servo behind his back. Starscream could tell he was planning to put stasis cuffs on him. And was ready and hit Knock Out making him fall backwards before hitting the ground and dropping the cuffs which fell through a hole that was in the ground.
Knock Out slowly pulled himself up off the ground and got back to his feet. "Fighting dirty as always." Knock Out mumble.
"Hey your the one who was planning to slap a pair of stasis cuffs on me that you were hiding behind you back!" Hissed Starscream.
"While I came prepared knowing you I know not to take any chances." Growled Knock Out. "After all I'm dealing with the sneakiest backstabber around!"
"Oh I'm the backstabber I seem to recall someone changing sides at the end of the war to be on the winning team!" Yelled Starscream. "And you have the nerve to call me a trader Knock Out do you really think I would have shot you out of the first airlock!" "I'm glad Breakdown was killed before he could see his best friend turn his back on the fraction he died serving!"
That did it Knock Out started trying to beat the scrap out of Starscream as coolant tear of rage rolled down his faceplates.
Starscream didn't show it but he had regretted saying that last part as soon as the words came out because he instantly knew he'd gone to far as soon as he saw the hurt look in Knock Out's optics.
The two of them were fighting hard but they both failed to notice two things. 1 they were now fighting on top of an old space bridge from the Golden Age of Cybertron. And 2 they were being watched.
"Shall we capture those two as well?" Asked a mysterious figure speaking through a com-link.
"No they are of no use to us terminate them." Said a voice from the other end of the com-link.
"Understood." The mysterious figure replied then opened fire on Starscream and Knock Out.
Starscream saw the shots coming a second before the first one hit. Knock Out had pinned him against the ground which they neither one knew was a space bridge they were fighting on top of. And when he saw the shots coming he pulled Knock Out who would have been shot in the spark chamber out of the way and ended up being shot in the tip of his right wing as a result. It wasn't a bad injury it just hurt like crazy.
And all the action made the space bridge active and Starscream and Knock Out were transported somewhere but their attacker fired one more blast through the space bridge before it closed.
_
Awhile later Starscream woke up in the middle of a field and realized the space bridge had sent them to Earth. Because he remembered the planet as much as he wished to forget it. Then he remembered Knock Out had been with him. And went to look for the red medic.
Then found him laying on the ground badly injured because the last blast their attacker fired through the space bridge hit him in the shoulder and he was losing energon fast.
To spite what had just went down between them and the way he let on Starscream thought of Knock Out as a friend and didn't want any harm to come to the cherry colored mech. First he had to get them somewhere where they wouldn't be spotted by humans.
He carefully half dragged half carried Knock Out to a cave he found that was just the right size to hide in. Now he had to figure out how to help the injured Austin Martin. It dawned on him that as a medic Knock Out might have a med kit on him in his subspace.
"Knock Out you need to wake up I need you to open your subspace!" Starscream yelled as he tried to get the smaller mech to respond.
"Oh!" The red medic moaned as he painfully regained consciousness. And opened his subspace which sure enough had a med kit.
Starscream got the med kit out and checked it's contents but was horrified to see most of it had been damage and broken in their fight most likely when he pushed Knock Out to make him drop the stasis cuffs and when they struggled on top of the space bridge.
"No!" Starscream whimpered. Knock Out was dying and it was all his fault. and to make it worse he had without knowing destroyed what he could have used to save him. "I'm so sorry Knock Out." He said as coolant tear filled his optics.
Then he whipped them away. No he couldn't give up he had to find another way to save Knock Out. Then he noticed one thing from the med kit that hadn't been damaged a small welding torch he could use it to weld Knock Out's wounds shut to stop him from bleeding out.
But seeing how deep the wound was he knew from the times he'd been treated that for deep wounds like that normally they'd have to turn off his pain receptors so he turned off Knock Out's knowing not only would it keep him from filling the welding torch but he'd be a lot more comfortable. Then Starscream got to work and patched Knock Out's wounds.
A few minutes later after Starscream had finished he saw that the now semiconscious Knock Out's optics were starting to look dull and could tell he was about to pass out from having already lost a large amount of energon and even though his wounds were now patched up they still ran the risk of getting infected. And if Knock Out fainted he might not wake up again.
"Knock Out!" "No Knock Out you have to stay with me OK!" "I'm sorry about what I said during our fight back there I only said that because I was mad!" "I think Breakdown would have been proud of you for switching side and he probably would have become an Autobot too!" Starscream almost shouted at the injured transformer.
"Breakdown." Knock Out moaned.
"Yes think about Breakdown if you give up then you'd be letting him down!" Starscream told him. "Come on Knock Out you have to keep fighting!" "You kept me online during the war now I'm going to return the favour."
"I'm going to go find some energon so you can get some strength back." Starscream said as he changed to his jet mode and flew off to find energon knowing Knock Out needed to get some energon in him and soon after the amount he'd lost.
Starscream's wing still hurt from being shot but not enough to keep him from flying though he could tell it would really hurt later but he couldn't worry about that now Knock Out needed him. "Please still be alive when I get back." Starscream thought as he continued to fly in search of energon. Knock Out had been like a bother to him during the war he couldn't let his friend down.
