Chapter 1

Flying around Mirage's spaceship through the galaxy, searching energon as the determination Mirage called out, "Gather your men".

"Excuse me, tough gut. Were robots", excused Knockout, after he created his very new paint job he designed himself in another room of the spaceship. "And we do not have robots in our ship now! You and I are the only one in this big ship", Knockout continues. "Knockout. What I want to know is why you are here for this mission?" asked Mirage. Knockout scratched his head saying it is Optimus's order to let him join the mission. As an alarm alerts the two Autobots, Mirage calls that the Decepticons' are coming. Mirage pulls over the right side as the Decepitcon ship shoots several shots to the areas, missing each time Mirage keep flying. "I got a plan!" Knockout shouted with an idea. "We go into the space ship of the Decepticons and attack all and get the energon. I think they got energon so we don't go to other place around the galaxy. I got a question: how other aliens from other planets have energon?"

"Shut up, Knockout! This is a good idea, but I do not need more useless information!" Mirage said. As Mirage ejects the spaceship forcing Knockout to transform into his jet form. Knockout then transforms into his jet form, as Mirage hopped on top of Knockout. The space ship blows up, leaving a sound to one of the Decepitcon's soldiers, Thundercracker. Thundercracker commands the ship to open the door.

Flying to an open door, Thundercracker shoot Knockout but Knockout dodges to the left side. Fast as lighting, Mirage turned invisible and kicked Thundercracker to the door, letting nothing but an unconscious Thundercracker lying on the ground. Mirage walked as Knockout turn back into his robot mode. Mirage turned invisible, but Knockout said, "Wow. Your selfish idea came up, but I have nothing!" Mirage tells Knockout to shut up, explain the plan to go get energon. Then an army of combiners, only three of the combiners step into the boxes of weapon grabbing each of it one at a time. Knockout shocked out. As he tiptoed to the spot with another box of weapons inside.

"Master Starscream will be okay about the weapons. I heard Soundwave is making an army. After the death of Megaton, things gone crazy", one of the combiners saw Thundercracker lying on the floor. He ran and pulls Thundercracker, grabbing his right leg. "Where's Lockdown? He is gonna do a little favor".

As the combiners walks away from the room with the resources the need for Starscream, Knockout stared blankly until he laughs that Starscream is leader. "This must be a fake!"

"Invisible Autobot! Have you- wait! Where are you at! His invisibility must sneaked to the next room", Knockout said to himself. He walks to the door as the door opens automactily, Knockout was confused. He said to himself that he must be a Decepicon long time and he still knows. Walking with his electro staff, he heard laughing and screaming, Knockout shivers. He ran as a door opens to a hooded Decepicon with little alien worm babies. Knockout cringes with disgust. The hooded Decepicon turns to Knockout, pulling his electro sword, letting a swinging sword to Knockout. Knockout blocks with his staff and low kicked the hooded Decepicon's leg. He kicked the hooded Decepticon's stomach and attacks with a leg push with his right leg. Knockout stomps the arm of the hooded Decepitcon, grabbing the alien worms on his hand.

"Come on. Ugh! You guys so slimy! Where's the towel? Ah! Here it is!" Knockout disgusted, saying he is going to clean his hand afterwards. Knockout then rips a piece of the hooded Decepticon's brown cloak, wrapped his hand around, and bringing back the alien worms to his hand. He ran away from the room, but the Decepticon got up slowly, took its cloak off and throwing it on the ground.

It then opens the emergency box with another cloak, as the cloak black like darkness.

Knockout kept walking to find Mirage, but the worms are screaming in pain. No choice to let Knockout covered his other hand to calm down. As he travels to the ship, he sees a robot with other alien worms, the same kind Knockout is holding. The robot saw Knockout whispering he is an Autobot. Purple and pink, little tall. "Hey, Autobot. Help me let the worms escape. The worms contain of energon. If the Decepicons use them, they will be stronger than Optimus!" the Autobot whispered with a chilled tone.

Knockout sighed saying," Yeah. Such a clique thing to say, Decepicon. Hold up, if you don't kill me, you must be an Autobot!? Is that right?" The Autobot agreed. He asked Knockout to follow him, but Knockout say something about rescuing Mirage. The Autobot said that Mirage is brave. "He used to fight the Decepicons all alone".

He thinks of an idea, but Knockout gives the worms to the Autobot, sighing about him getting Mirage back. "Save the worms later. Now we need to know where the scrap is Mirage!" Knockout said. He continues,"Hey 'Decepticon' what's your name so I can know. I'm now an Autobot; I have to know who my allies are!"

Suddenly, the Autobot tells his name. "The name's Wheelie. I'm spying on Starscream. I heard he's gonna take over the Autobot City with Thundercracker, Skywarp, and everyone he have right now", Wheelie spooked. Wheelie asked Knockout that how he and Mirage enters the ship. Knockout tells Wheelie, "I'll tell you later."

As Knockout and Wheelie continues to walk, they enter the ship controls leading by Starscream. Knockout snickered. "Welcome, Killstomper, who did you bring for this exciting trip to find the Dark Energon? I see it. It's coming 3 more miles in space", Starscream asked with an evil tone.

"Hello Screamer. It had been years!" Knockout smiled.

"Well it had been years, too- what in tarnation! Knockout! The traitor doctor! Tell me, how your time is being an Autobot!?" Starscream turns to Knockout quick as Mirage shot Starscream but missed. An army of combiners came, tackling Mirage after he is visible. Mirage shouted Knockout, "We need to leave! Now! I'll tell you about the energon! For now, let's go!" Mirage transforms to his car mode, driving away from the army and Starcream. Wheelie transforms too into car mode, grabbing the worms all together.

Knockout paused and tells Starscream he transforms into a jet. "Did you remember the time jet mode are more awesome than car mode. Your right! This is awesome!"

Knockout transforms into jet mode, grabbing the worms together, flying and following Mirage and Wheelie. The army of combiners ran and kept shooting the fleeing Autobots. As they are almost here for they exit, the door did not open automatically. Mirage transform back into robot mode, slamming the door until it is open. Mirage and Wheelie jumped first. Knockout flies up then down loop to get Wheelie. Knockout commands Mirage to hold the bottom of his jet. Mirage pushed up and grabbed on Knockout's jet bottom.

Mirage questions what Knockout is holding and why a 'Decepticon' is with them. Knockout said the 'Decepicon' is Wheelie. And said to Mirage these are energon but different. "Let's take them to head quarter. Let's asked microscope examines this goop", said Knockout.

The ship of Decepicons continues to fly as the young Skywarp enters the room which the brutal Thundercracker is still wounded. Skywarp asked how Thundercracker is feeling. Thundercracker then said feels okay. He just got a little scratch. Skywarp tells Thundercracker to get some rest, but Skywarp said to himself he will kill Starscream after he killed Megatron.

Two years ago, Megatron in Decepticon City saying it's time to kill Optimus Prime and all the Autobots. Everyone cheered until Starscream tells Megatron to fight to see who is leader of the Decepticon. "Starscream. This is no time to fight each other for this nonsense. I'm leader, you're not. Stop being a scrap-head and follow my commands!" Megatron walks far away from Starscream, continuing his plan to dominate Cybertron.

"One of days, Megatron." Starscream walks away. He turns around; pulling a sniper rifle at Megatron, making a fast start hitting Megatron's back head. A bullet drops down letting Soundwave called everyone to kill Starscream. Starscream escape with other followers to fly and follow him. Starscream kept shooting Megatron, aiming so good he pulls his cannon. But Starscream shot the cannon letting an explosion. Megatron flies off, leading him transforms into his jet mode chasing Starscream. Megatron pushed Starscream and transforms back to robot mode, but Starscream transforms back to robot mode, spitting a chemical so rare no transformers ever find. It burns Megatron's face causing him to be blind. Starscream transforms his hand to a sword stabbing each of Megatron's body. The rest of the Decepicons stop and stared at Megatron. Soundwave commands all Decepicons to shoot Starscream. The Decepticons shoot fire while Megatron punches Starscream, grabbed his face and as Starscream transform to his jet mode, he flies so high pushing so much power. Megatron let go from Starscream. Starscream transform back, preparing a launch on his arm cannon. He blasted in front of Megatron's head, cybertron blood oozing all over the place. Blasted more on Megatron more blood flies all over. Megatron shoot his cannon, disintegrate Starscream's arm cannon. Starscream glides down, holding his sword arm in front. Megatron barfed blood after Starscream stabbed on his chest. They fall down, as they fall, they made a big hole and explosion. The clouds bother the Decepicon's view; Starscream flies away fast pushing the clouds closer to the Decepicons. Soundwave and Shockwave ran to Megatron, coughing blood saying that either Soundwave or Shockwave is leader for this.

"I see his followers. Those are not real Decepticons. His followers are his clones. Not named as Thundercracker or Skywarp, but he created with a special thing no transformers ever find", said Shockwave.

"I'll take charge as leader now. Shockwave and everyone else. Carry Megatron to the lab. He must be reborn". Soundwave commanded.

Thundercracker question to Skywarp,"How are we with Starscream? We hated this fool!"

"We were brainwashed by Starscream's brainwashing chemical. It also affected Lockdown and Blitzwing. This is bad", Skywarp said. He continues to say to Thundercracker that Starscream's plan is to find the Constructicons in the Decepticon City. With stress inside, Skywarp plans to kill Starscream for what he did to Megatron. Thundercracker refuse Skywarp to deal such revenge. Thundercraker thinks of the time he and Skywarp saw the battle between Megatron and Starscream, so is Blitzwing. Lockdown stands near the operation room, letting a quiet time to think.

The door opens when Lockdown has a silver gauntlet which was created by him. Lockdown questions Skywarp why he is here. "I'm gonna leave, Lockdown. I'm just talking to Thundercracker", Skywarp walked away. The door closed and Lockdown said to Thundercracker, "Is Skywarp is going to kill Starscream? I hear it when I was standing next to the operation room." Lockdown continues, "Starscream has two rare energon inside of him. One of which is Control Energon: It can have the power to control other transformers. The second one is Dark Energon: Stronger than a normal energon, face it and it will destroy every single thing you ever see". Thundercracker heard about the Dark Energon. "Megatron used to have Dark Energon! It's so powerful than I imagined!"

Lockdown sat down next to Thundercracker as he gets up. Lockdown, feeling calmed saying he is a bounty hunter. He was forced to be in Starscream's team for hunting other Decepticons. Even the Autobots. "Starscream hungry for power and domination on Cybertron, in fact the whole universe. Megatron is not like Starcream. He just wanted to rule Cybertron." Lockdown took off his silver gauntlet, putting next to the table. He continues, "Lugnut, Shockwave, and even Soundwave loved his ruling." Then the door open as Skywarp tell Lockdown he has another mission to hunt somebody. Lockdown got up, Thundercracker said to Lockdown," Thank for talking by." Lockdown looked back at Thundercracker, saying, "Your welcome, blue solider".

Walking so fast, Starscream walked at Lockdown, saying he has to hunt down Mirage. Starscream explains to Lockdown that Mirage has invisibility and he and all his army need to survive on wars. "I copy, sir", Lockdown spoke.

As soon Lockdown enters a pod to take any places, he closed the pod, sending him to Autobot City. Rushing and rushing, the pod landed so heavy some Autobots see it and they saw the symbol of the Decepticon.

Shooting all over the pod, Lockdown cannot get out until a call of an Autobot leader commands his fellow Autobots to stop shooting. The Autobot leader comes close to the pod, forcing lockdown to open his pod. Lockdown opens the pod, clouds burst around the surface, and seeing the look of Prowl. Running to Prowl it is Preceptor, saying at Prowl would capture Lockdown or not. "Preceptor, hold Lockdown, I need some question before he will be executed", Prowl commands with a chilled tone. Preceptor spots on Lockdown. "Prowl, I'll take this Decepticon to my lab. There is something a virus with a code on his back neck".

Knockout and his allies dropped down and Knockout Transform back to robot mode. He sees spot on a crowd of Autobots. Wheelie hands the worms to Knockout, all of the worms. He said that he needs to color back his Autobot style before he gets captured. He tells Knockout and Mirage thanks and runs back to Kup which he is standing near the coloring station. Knockout saying "Thank you for this cause of nightmare". Knockout asked Mirage is Wheelie a child because he is small. "Wheelie is a teenager! He grown to fight but still has a cute and annoying voice that has a screeching noise which kinda bothers me".

Knockout was shocked. He calmed down saying Wheelie is a brave but not moody teen. And theses worms keep Knockout dirty, he has to follows Preceptor but Mirage spotted Lockdown. He tells Knockout to be ready to attack. Knockout saw Lockdown, thinking him either a spy or a thief. Knockout ran to Preceptor, while bunch of worms falling by itself making Knockout scared. "Mirage helps me get these worms!" babbled Knockout. Mirage runs fast, getting the worms all together on his hand.

Lockdown heard the voice of Mirage. He remained calm as the move into the laboratory of Preceptor. Knockout calls Preceptor to ask a question why Lockdown is here. Mirage follows while Prowl is next to him saying about the energon. Mirage then tells Prowl, "This is energon. The worms are energon!" Prowl got disgust. He questions Mirage the worms are really energon. Mirage explains to Prowl the inside of the worms while Knockout finds the answers to Preceptor's questions.

Finally they made it to the laboratory. Preceptor asked Lockdown to sit on an exam table, Knockout finds a box with lots of locks; think this is very perfect for the worms. He found a driller, drilling on top of the box and calling Mirage to put the worms in the boxes. Preceptor questions Knockout about the drilling the box. Knockout answered Preceptor these are for the worms.

BANG!

Lockdown almost shot Preceptor and missed.

Prowl grabbed Lockdown on the stomach but Lockdown elbowed his eye leading Prowl's eye goes bleeding. More shooting at the lab and Knockout pulls his staff. Preceptor cannon blasted Lockdown as he found a taser to stop him from escaping. Mirage goes invisible, blasting Lockdown. Knockout shoved his staff on Lockdown's stomach. Lockdown pulls out his hook, slicing Knockout but he dodges. Preceptor forces everyone to back off as he jumped on Lockdown, giving a piggy-back ride. He moves Lockdown to the wall and Preceptor jumped back, tasering Lockdown's back. Lockdown fell down; having Preceptor panting and pulling Lockdown's leg back to the exam table.

Prowl and Mirage left the laboratory. Knockout closed the box after the worms are inside. "It been talking to you, Preceptor- hold up, does your name mean teacher. If you know science and you transforms into...-um what you exactly transform into?"

"A microscope"

"Yeah! Should your name be- Examiner?

"I don't care. Just get out. I'm doing a examine on Lockdown. Plus your name Knockout-"

"Alright. I'm leaving! When you're done with this scrap-head, look at the box of worms. Maybe you can get the energon out of the worms and call it a day! There is an easy way why my name is Knockout!" Knockout nagged; exiting the laboratory without stomping his feet of anger. Preceptor did not make Knockout mad, he just wanted to get some time for Lockdown's examination.
