Chapter 2 Enter the Phoenix

Later that night Knock Out and Bumblebee went to Starscream's room to ask him about what happened during the interview.

"Don't worry I just got a little light headed earlier but I'm fine now." Said Starscream.

"Something has to be wrong for you to have fainted like that." Said Knock Out. "As a medic I'd advise you to let me or Ratchet check you out."

"It would just be a waste of time." Said Starscream. "There's nothing wrong with me."

"OK we won't force you but if it happens again please let one of us look at you." Said Knock Out.

"Starscream we're all worried about you." Said Bumblebee. "Bots don't just pass out like that."

"I'm fine it was just the excitement of the interview that's all." Said Starscream.

"OK but if you need anything we're all here for you." Said Bumblebee.

"Thank you but I'm OK." Said Starscream. As Bumblebee and Knock Out left his room so he could recharge.

"I'm worried about him." Said Bumblebee. "I could tell from the look on both Sky Warp and Thundercracker's faceplates that they felt something is off though their train bond."

"I think it something to do with his spark." Said Knock Out. "I saw Starscream was holding his spark chamber after he fell earlier."

"Then he needs to be check out if it's his spark then it's something serious!" Said Bumblebee. "Starscream needs to let you or Ratchet make sure there's nothing serious wrong."

"Or he already knows something's wrong and doesn't want us to worry." Said Knock Out.

Meanwhile Fire Wing landed in a forest since she had changed to her Phoenix mode she hadn't changed back yet because she was afraid Shockwave was after her and couldn't use her fire in her bot mode she could only flame up or shoot fire in her Phoenix from. And didn't know how to fight yet so her flames would be her only defense.

But she hadn't counted on starting a forest fire! She looked around and saw some of the trees were in flames and it was spreading fast! She started trying to put it out but her Phoenix mode was just making it worse she had been trying to use her fire to protect herself but hadn't really learned how to control it!

She hadn't meant for this to happen! And was trying desperately to undo it! But nothing was working!

?

Meanwhile back at the Autobot base they got a call about the forest fire and the team went to put it out.

They wasted no time getting there and the Autobots on the ground were all doing their best to save all the campers and animals they could. While Windblade and the three seekers were flying above the fire and dumping fire repellent foam on it to put it out. Which was working.

Then Optimus and Bumblebee saw Strongarm, Wheeljack and Ultra Magnus drive over to their area and all three changed to their Cybertronian modes and were covered in foam.

"Sky Warp flew over us by mistake." Said Strongarm. Then Sideswipe who had just got there busted out laughing.

"He's lucky he didn't get Knock Out." Said Sideswipe. "That foam is murder on paint jobs."

"Really I think I'll give my friend Sideswipe a hug!" Said Strongarm.

"No way!" Said Sideswipe who to off running with Strongarm chasing him. And Wheeljack couldn't help but laugh and was sure he even saw Ultra Magnus smile.

"Where is Knock Out anyway?" Asked Bumblebee.

"He drove closer to where the fire started to make sure there are no campers trapped there." Said Sideswipe right before Strongarm caught him in a bear hug. "Yuke!" He groaned.

"I'm going to help out too." Said Optimus. "The rest of you continue to put the fire out around here."

Optimus drove to the area Knock Out was in knowing the Austin Martin could probably use all the help he could get.

?

A few minutes later Optimus got to Knock Out's location. And the red mech was happy to have help.

"I haven't seen any campers or animals but I can hear something back there." Said Knock Out. Then Optimus heard it too.

"I'm going over to see what it is and help anyway I can." Said Knock Out as he drove over at full speed to where the sounds were coming from then transformed.

The only problem was the source of the noise was Fire Wing who he startle when he just came out of nowhere and she ended up shooting him in the chest with a blast of flames and Knock Out fell backwards to the ground where he laid unmoving!

"Knock Out!" Yelled Optimus as he watched the red medic hit the ground after be hit with a wave of fire! Then he saw what looked like a Phoenix from earth legends that had blasted Knock Out!

But the Prime noticed a sad look on it's face with a hint of fear as it flew off. Then Starscream who was flying over the area saw what went down and fly after it in his jet mode.

Optimus didn't want to leave Starscream to face that fiery bird by himself but he had to get Knock Out back to base he needed medical attention!

"Ratchet I need a ground bridge I'm bringing Knock Out to base he needs medical attention get the med bay ready." Said Optimus over his com link.

Then the ground bridge appeared and Optimus carried the injured mech though it.

?

Meanwhile Starscream was chasing Fire Wing though the sky in his jet mode. Then he saw storm clouds rolling in and the Phoenix was suddenly struck by a lightning blot and changed to a robot mode then fell into a river that was below them!

"She's a transformer!" Said Starscream seeing Fire Wing change and noticing she was a Predacon femme.

He quickly and without thinking changed and dove into the river after her!

?

All Fire Wing knew was she suddenly felt pain shoot though her body and was now under water she tried to transform but she couldn't because she was to weak and even if she could she couldn't swim and her fire wouldn't light under water!

She just aloud herself to sink waiting for the end when she felt a pair of arms wrap around her and saw a mech pulling her up to the surface then the orange and yellow femme blacked out.

Starscream got Fire Wing out of the river and called for a ground bridge. And then when it appeared a few seconds later he carried the Predacon femme into the base in his arms and got her to the med bay.

?

A few minutes later Ratchet reported Knock Out was going to be fine and had only received minor burns on his chest plats just enuff to knock him out and no permanent damage.

"The Predacon is going to be OK too." Said Ratchet. "What should we do with her?"

"Well she started a forest fire and almost roasted Knock Out she might be to dangerous to keep around here." Said Strongarm.

"I think starting the fire and burning Knock Out were accidents." Said Optimus. "She seemed to have remorse after she burned Knock Out." "And Knock Out and I heard sounds when we found her sounds that sounded like crying."

"And when I chased her though the sky she didn't attack once." Said Starscream.

"I would say she can't control her fire when we encountered her she was in her Phoenix mode as long as she doesn't change into her beast mode till she learns to control her flames we should be OK." Said Optimus.

"And I probably didn't help by surprising her like I did." Said Knock Out who had just walked in.

"You were just burned back to bed!" Said Ratchet.

"OK I'm going back to the med bay I just came to get this stuff for when the burns heal." Said Knock Out as he grabbed his buffer and some paint. Ratchet just rolled his optics Knock Out wasn't even fully healed yet and was already thinking about fixing his paint job.

Then they went in to see the Predacon who was awake but still weak from the lightning strike she took.

"I'm so sorry." Said Fire Wing close to tears. "I didn't mean to hurt anyone or cause so much destruction."

"It's OK we know it was an accident." Said Bumblebee.

"And I know you didn't mean to burn me I shouldn't have snuck up on you like that." Said Knock Out.

"Just stay in your bot mode for now and you can stay here and we'll try to help you learn to control your power." Said Optimus.

"OK." Said Fire Wing. "And my name is Fire Wing."

"let's all get some rest now and Fire Wing can tell us more about herself in the morning." Said Ratchet. And everyone agreed and went to recharge.

To be continued.

"Well that's it for this chapter." "I'll try to have the next one up soon after I do the next chapter of my other story When worlds Collide." "Please let me know if I missed any spelling errors."
