Chapter 2 New Friends.
Somewhere in a small town in Kansas a women was unpacking. Shayna Lockhart had just moved there. this was going to be her first time living by herself.
As she continued to unpack she heard something from outside and went to see what was going on. And saw her neighbor working on something in his garage.
"Hi." She said trying to be friendly this was the first person she'd met since moving into town.
"Hi you must be my new neighbor." Said the young man with spiky blond hair and an athletic looking body. "My name is Blake." He told her.
"I'm Shayna." Shayna introduced herself. Brushing her long chestnut color hair out of her face and adjusting her glasses. "Nice to meet you I'm gonna go look around town and get to know the neighborhood." She added noticing Blake looked busy.
"OK but if you ever need anything just call me specially if it's car trouble I'm a mechanic." He explained.
"OK if I need anything I'll call." She answered as she walked off to get to know the town.
After hanging out in town for awhile she noticed a spot where several trees had been knocked down by something that had crashed in a wooded area.
Shayna went to explore having always had a taste for adventure. It was getting dark now so she was being careful knowing wooded areas could be dangerous at night. Then she saw something that surprised her a giant robot was laying there.
Shayna wanted to get a closer look at it thinking this was cool. She had just found a giant mecha.
She walked towards it. But suddenly heard something behind her. Shayna turned around to see a bear about to attack her. She had wonder to close to it being distracted by the robot and now it was mad.
Shayna started to run but she tripped over a stump. She was OK but the bear was right next to her now. There was no why she'd get up in time to escape.
Shayna closed her eyes and waited for the end but then she heard a blast and the bear ran off frightened. After a missile was shot right above it.
Then Shayna saw that the missal had come from the robot who was now standing up looking down at her.
"Are you OK human?" Asked the robot.
"Yes I'm fine thanks for saving me." Shayna answered. "Your a giant robot."
"And Your a human." Said the robot. "My name is Starscream."
"My name is Shayna." Shayna told him. "And this is us."
"I need to find my friend." Starscream told her remembering Knock Out had also been sent through the space bridge.
Starscream started to walk off but suddenly grabbed his side in pain. He hadn't recovered from fighting Galvatron yet. It didn't hurt as bad as the injuries he'd received form Megatron in the past before he change sides to be an Autobot but it did hurt.
"Starscream I have a barn behind my house that you can hide in till you feel better." Shayna offered. "It's the least I can do since you saved me." "And I'm afraid of what the government might do if they catch you." She told him having seen movies about things like this and knowing how they usually played out. "And your welcome to stay there as long as you need to."
"OK." He agreed then let her lead the way.
A few minutes later they some how managed to get Starscream into the barn behind Shayna's house without anyone seeing him. Then the two of them set and talked and he explained to her about Cybertron and the war between the Autobots and Deceptacons and how he had been to Earth before and had used to be a Deceptacon before becoming an Autobot.
But suddenly they heard the door open and Blake came in.
"What the what?!" Blake yelled in surprised upon seeing Starscream. "It's a giant fricken robot!"
"Well hi to you too." Said Starscream who chuckled.
"Don't worry he's friendly." Shayna told Blake. "And what are you doing in my barn anyway?"
"I didn't see you get back home and heard talking out here and thought you were having a break in." He explained.
Then Starscream and Shayna explained to Blake about the Transformers and he agreed to keep their secret. And even helped repair Starscream.
Meanwhile Knock Out woke up strapped to a table in Order of Gray's base! His whole body still hurt from being practically electrocuted when he was captured.
Poor Knock Out was terrified he remembered what the human group MECH had done to Breakdown and knew this wasn't MECH that had him but this group of humans were no better. They'd proved that by the brutal way they captured him.
And he was surrounded by a lot of not so friendly looking machines and some humans were working on them and a few other humans were looking him over.
Knock Out was trying to activate his weapons to escape but found they'd been disabled. But his servos hurt quite a bit then he turned his head a little and saw why Order of Gray had injured them because they hadn't deactivated his weapons properly and had ended up damaging him in the process of trying to remove them.
"No! No! someone help!" Knock Out cried realizing how much danger he was in. At lest MECH had known what they were doing this group didn't know anything about cybertronian biology.
"Relax we just want to learn about your kind." Director Swan told the frightened transformer. "And eliminate the threat the Deceptacons bring to this planet." "Order of Gray's purpose is to defend Earth from your kind."
"But I'm an Autobot!" Knock Out sobbed as coolant tears flowed down his faceplates. "What did you do to my shield?" He then asked noticing the red paint that now covered his Autobot insignia.
"I know witch side your on but I can't let my superiors find out your an Autobot we're only aloud to hunt Deceptacons." Director Swan told him. "Oh and I didn't even know your species was capable of crying tears." She added in dark amusement.
"Please let me go!" Knock Out begged. "Don't do this!"
"Your going to be doing humanity a huge service by letting us find out what makes you tick. We'll be able to fight back against your kind." Director Swan told him. "To bad you might not survive it."
"No!" "Please I don't wanna die!" Knock Out whimpered.
"Don't worry we'll keep you alive as long as we can." Director Swan said to him as she looked him in the optics. "We what to know just how much punishment your kind can take."
Then she walked away as some men started using the machines that were there to drill in to parts of the red transformer. And Knock Out let out cries of agony.
They continued to torture the poor medic by drilling into him and shocking him for several hours.
"OK that enough for now we'll continue tomorrow." Director Swan ordered her men. "Give it some energon then put it in it's cage."
Then some of the men had a drone with a big syringe approach Knock Out and then went to a cube of energon preparing to fill the needle with it.
"No not the blue kind I know that's what they normally fual themselves with but we've found a few other colors and I'm wondering what those will do to it." Director Swan told the men. "I don't care witch of the other kinds you give it just note what color and let me know what affect it has on it."
Knock Out suddenly felt something being injected into his tank. Then he tried to say something but then his helm tilted back as he fell unconscious.
Then they called in a man made transformer they had built that was really more of a drone called Stinger who they had take Knock Out to a cell designed to hold cybertronians. It was like a solid white room with nothing in it and no windows.
Stinger tossed Knock Out to the floor after putting him inside then left as the door closed behind him.
Knock Out opened his optics after he heard the door shut and had regained consciousness. But he was still hurt and now he also felt sick.
Knock Out tried to get to his feet but couldn't find the strength to stand up and slumped back to the floor. He felt so weak he could barley keep his head up.
"Someone help me." He moaned weakly as he laid his helm back on the floor and close his optics just wanting to sleep. Whatever Order of Gray had given him had a really bad affect on him.
Meanwhile at the barn behind Shayna's house Starscream's com-link had suddenly activated because Order of Gray had accidentally reactivated Knock Out's and called Starscream's without knowing but couldn't hear through his com-link but Starscream heard everything that had just went down.
"No." The seeker said hearing his best friend being tortured and experimented on by human. Then the com-link went quiet when Knock Out was toss into the cell.
Starscream's spark sank he knew Knock Out was scared and in pain. The red medic was like a brother to him. It was night now and both his new human friends were in bed. The com-link had actually woke Starscream up from recharge.
Starscream walked out of the barn and was about to change to his jet mode. he was going to follow the signal from Knock Out's com-link to find where the red medic was being held and get him out of there.
Then Shayna came out from the house after hearing Starscream come out of the barn. And she asked the seeker what was going on. And he explained what he'd just heard over his com-link and that he had to save his friend.
"I'm coming too." Shayna told him climbing in to his jet mode. "Since you saved me I owe you and I want to make sure your friend is OK and that you don't end up being capture too." She explained.
"OK but be careful I don't want you getting hurt if things go haywire in there." Starscream told her. Then they left a note for Blake in case he came over before they got back.
Then Starscream flew off with Shayna in his jet mode following Knock Out's signal just hoping it wasn't to late and that they'd find the Austin Martin alive.
To be continued.
