What an Irony: New changes Chapter 3
Remember: I do not own any of these characters except for Sarah aka Starout! Everyone belongs to Hub, Hasbro, and all the other owners! Enjoy this fanfic!
Also, I shall be using Sarah's name in here so I don't confuse you all but when she is talking, people will call her by Starout. The only two that will call her Sarah is Knockout and Starscream. Enjoy this second part!
Sarah sighed as she placed a servo on her lower back and stretched a bit. She was not used to standing up for a long period of time and it was taking its toll on her.
She tried not to act as bored as she watched her troops scanning Cybertron making sure that there was nothing out there that would be threatening to the environment.
Sarah seen Starscream walked into the control room and she smiled," Well how you are feeling? Any better?"
Starscream said," Yeah a bit" as he rubbed his head. He stated," Your father stated he wanted me to have a head to toe examination tomorrow."
Sarah looked worried as she stated," Why?"
Shrugging his shoulders, Starscream stated," He wants to make sure that getting headaches all the time is nothing serious."
Sarah looked at Starscream and stated," I know it's not. I promise everything will be okay."
Starscream frowned with worry as he stated," I hope that you are right my liege."
Sarah groaned as she said," Look we are spark mates you can call me Sarah or Starout. I don't care which one you want to call me."
Chuckling, Starscream stated," That may be true but I am still second in command and while we are on duty, I am to address you by my liege or Lady."
Sarah sighed as she sat down in her chair and rubbed her temples feeling the stress of everything taking its toll on her.
Starscream frowned as he rubbed her shoulders and said," Maybe you should take a break. You have been at it all day long none stop."
Sarah said," But I am needed here. I am leader now. I just can't do whatever I feel like anymore."
Chuckling, Starscream replied," That never stopped you before. I think your father is done for the evening. Perhaps a friendly competition of street racing may be in order."
Sarah blinked as she said" You know just what to say to me don't you?"
Starscream kissed her cheek and stated," Yep I do. Now go find your father. I will keep a watch here for you."
Sarah grinned as she said, "Thanks a lot!" as she got up and walked out of the control area.
Starscream chuckled as he sat down feeling the stress on his own legs taking its toll as well. He whispered," What a femme."

Sarah knocked on the door and said," Father? Can I come in?"
Knockout waved and said," Come on in my sparkling. The door is unlocked." As he turned around and smirked," You are beginning to look more like me every day."
Sarah chuckled," Are you finished for the evening?" as she walked up to her father.
Knockout nodded as he said," Well I have everything done until tomorrow morning. Then it's back to square one all over again." As he finished up his notes.
Sarah leaned back against the computer and said," You know I am free for the rest of the evening. Starscream is taking over my space so how about a friendly street race?"
Knockout looked at his daughter and smirked," So you think you can beat your old man can you?"
Sarah grinned, "I don't think. I know." As she polished her wheels on her feet.
Knockout smirked as he said," Breakdown! We are going street racing! You up for it?"
Breakdown chuckled," I cannot keep up with you two but what the heck let's do it."
Sarah smirked," Let's just hope that you don't mess up that finish when I am done with you father."
Knockout scoffed," The only finish that will be messed you will be yours." As they walked down the hall.
Breakdown chuckled lightly and shook his head. Those two were the same even though Sarah was not his biological sparkling.

Arcee held the flag as she stated," Now look you three. A nice clean street race from this point to the point of that tower over there." As she pointed at a nearby building.
Sarah cranked up her engine as she said," Arcee you worry too much. We shall have a nice clean race."
Arcee muttered," Somehow I don't believe that one." As she raised the flag high in the air.
Knockout revved up his engines as he said," Hey Breakdown, sparkling. Are you scared?"
Breakdown sneered," When I am done with you both, you shall be looking at my backside." As he revved up his engines.
Sarah snapped," As if. Arcee lower the flag!"
Arcee scoffed as she lowered the flag and all three took off at a record pace. She watched in amazement as the trio seemed to neck to neck.
Sarah grinned as she revved up her engines more and pulled in front of the two mechs. She sneered," See you at the finish line losers!"
Knockout pulled up past Sarah and said, "Not if I have anything to say about it." As they entered the half way marks.
Sarah snapped," Hey!" as she pulled beside her father. She said," What about a fair race?"
Knockout said," Sorry kiddo there is no fair racing in street racing." As he crossed the finish line first.
Sarah pulled up second and turned back into a bot. She frowned," You cheated father!"
Knockout turned back into a bot and said," Nah that was just because I have been doing it longer than you that is all."
Breakdown crossed the finish line and turned back. He said," Easy you two. Chill. Knockout won the way that Knockout knows how to win."
Sarah frowned," But he cheated!" as she pouted.
Breakdown laughed so hard he was fixing to shed lubricant. He stated," I see some resemblance to a certain medic that I know." As he looked at Knockout.
Knockout snorted," I don't act like that." As he whined," My finish!" as he noticed he had a scratch.
Breakdown smirked," I stand corrected." As the trio walked over to Arcee.
Arcee shook her head as she said," Aren't you ever going to let your daughter win at least one race Knockout?"
Knockout smirked as he said," Maybe one day. But for today, I win." As he flexed his arms.
Arcee shook her head as she said," I need to head back now. I got to oversee how the buildings are being repaired." As she kissed Knockout and left the scene.
Sarah grinned as she said," You sure picked a good femme father." As the trio walked back toward the Nemesis.
Knockout sighed as he nodded. He looked at Sarah and said," Sarah I am sorry for getting into yours and Starscream's business. I just don't want to see you sparked while being leader."
Sarah looked at the ground and whispered," I have too much to lose. I cannot afford to get sparked. My reputation is on the line."
Breakdown said," Hey kiddo don't be that way. Your father is just trying to look out for you that is all."
Sarah sighed deeper as she said," I know that he is but I still cannot help the way I feel. I want a sparkling but father is right. Maybe later on."
Breakdown nodded as they entered the Nemesis. He frowned as a troop ran up to them.
Sarah frowned as she said," What is wrong? Tell me!"
The troop bowed and said," My liege it's your second in command. He has collapsed."
Sarah looked upset as she said," What do you mean he has collapsed?" as she looked at her father and Breakdown.
The troop said," He got up to look at the computer screens and collapsed on the ground. We transferred him to the medical bay."
Sarah frowned as she ran down the hall and headed toward the Medical bay, worried for her spark mate.
Knockout frowned as he took off for Sarah, not knowing if the rush to the Medical bay was of fear or just dread.
Sarah typed in the code and entered the Medical bay area. She ran over to where Starscream was at and began working.
Knockout came in the room followed by Breakdown and stated," What are the stats?"
Sarah hooked Starscream up to the monitors and stated," Energon level is good. Oxygen level is at 96 percentile." As she looked at her father.
Knockout frowned as he said," We are going to have to run some tests to find out what caused him to pass out."
Sarah frowned as Breakdown said," Sarah maybe you should wait outside….."
Sarah stated firmly," No! This is my spark mate and second in command! I will not let him die dammit!"
Breakdown frowned but blinked as Knockout laid a servo on his shoulder and shook his head. He said," Fine but don't say I did not warn you."
Sarah helped Knockout turn Starscream over on his side and she seen where it looked like his back was red and swollen a bit.
Knockout looked at the Seeker's wings and began analyzing them. He frowned as he shook his scanner and said," This does not make sense…."
Sarah quickly stated," What is the matter with him?"
Knockout frowned as he said," Sarah did you and Starscream make sure that you used protection before you tussled?"
Sarah blushed a bit as she said," That is none of your business father!"
Knockout snorted," It's my business! Did you or not?!"
Sarah frowned," We did but what…" as her eyes widened as she whispered, "Is he having an allergic reaction?"
Knockout frowned, 'It seems he had a reaction to when you and he tussled. That does not make any sense." As he said," I am going to have to run more tests to find out for sure."
Sarah's optics widened as she looked down at the floor. She felt like this was all her fault. Damn her and her femme instincts.
Breakdown laid a hand on Sarah's shoulder and stated," Hey now kiddo. This is not your fault. It might not even be from the sparking. It might be something else going on."
Sarah whispered," If it's not, then what am I going to do Breakdown? He is my best friend and my second in command." As she held Starscream's hand.
Knockout looked at his daughter and felt sorry for her. He knew what it was like to lose a spark mate. He lost his first one when he was just 150 years old.
Sarah sat down and whispered," Please Matrix, please don't let anything be seriously wrong with him."
Breakdown frowned, hoping that it was not too serious and everything would be okay.
