I'm so sorry, I haven't been uploading lately, i've been terribly busy and hopefully this chapter will be a way to forgive me.

I also recently learn that breakdown and knockout are actually married after reading a few comics, so this will be difficult. .

AUTOBOT BASE

Just as the Autobots exited through the ground bridge, Optimus having an unconscious Knockout over his shoulder; the former doctor of the autobots, Ratchet closed the ground bridge. Turning to their leader, Ratchet optics widen at the sight of the red deception medic. "Optimus, is that-" "Yes" The autobot leader placed the red mech onto the berth, locking his arms and legs down with energon beams. "He strangely and recklessly went to get the artefact without an sigh of force" Optimus stood staring down at the red mech while he explained what had happened on the battle field.

"I'm curious on why the deception medic would easily give himself up?" Bulkhead commented, Ratchet scratching his chin while looking over the red medics frame. Arcee crossed her arms, leaning her hip to the side. "I think you've missed the idea that he also looked in pain" Remembering, Optimus looked towards the red mech helm. "That's correct Arcee" Ratchet rose a brow, "In pain?" "Correct, his helm seemed to be the problem"

After a few second of staring at the red medic, Ratchet was concentrating with thinking. Shaking his thoughts away, he glances up at the autobot leader. "Why did you bring him here?" "To get information on what the deceptions are planning, can you get this information Ratchet?" Prime immediately answers and asked. With a few clicks, Ratchet walked over to the data base computer. "I have been working on something that can extract memories, maybe this is the best time to test it" Ratchet took out a long cable that connect to the data base computer, he swiftly connected to the back of Knockouts helm. "Hopefully it works"

It took a while for the fuzzing of the computer to stop, showing a clear imagine of Knockout in his younger years. The medic was in a medway along with Breakdown young self also, "We must wait for the right memories to clear to the present time" Bulkhead groaned, "Great, we have to watch this medics messed up life"

MEMORY ONE

Knockout stood looking over some patients, breakdown gathering some equipment. "Knockout~" Knockout turned to breakdown with his young smile. "Yes partner?" The red medic said while looking back at his data pad. Breakdown shuffled over, laying a hand on his shoulder. "If I could have a moment of your time, i would like to ask you of something" Knockout's eyes shifted from the data pad to Breakdown stare. "Sure buddy~" Breakdown scratched as his helm before hesitantly asking, "Well, I was wondering..If you and i would become more than partners..maybe spark mates?" Knockouts face showed it all, he was shocked by the sudden question, dropping his data pad. "b-breakdown..I-"

Before he answered, their was a bang and the medway door was completely blasted off. Both mech look at the shining gladiator walk though with a rather wide grin on his face. "I'm looking for recruits, if anyone dares ignore this opportunity..you WILL perish" Knockout and Breakdowns optics widen at the sudden turn of events.

Ratchet had face palmed, Bulkhead shaking his head. "I knew something was up with the two" Jack, who was sitting watching with Miko and Raf spoke confusingly. "Wait so, gender isn't a problem on cybertron?" The former autobot medic faced the human male and shrugged. "Not at all..On our planet we only two types of cybertronian. The carrier and the protecter...The carrier is a cybertronian who is capable of carrying a sparkling and the protecter is the cybertroian who creates that spark, so you could also call them creators" Miko stood up and pointed at Arcee, "But what about Arcee?" "Arcee is indeed a femme and the rest of us are mechs..All femmes however are carriers, but only a low percentage of cybertrons mechs were carriers" Raf rose a brow, "So Breakdown and Knockout? Are they both mechs?" Ratchet nodded, "Affirmative, but know one can tell who's a carrier so they both could just be creators"

Jack laid a hand on his head, "Wow, so much to process there" Miko chuckled as she laid her hands on her hips. "So Bulkhead, Wheelljack, smokescreen, bumblebee, optimus, ratchet and ultra magnus.. Any of you guys carriers?" She smirked, all the mech shaking their head while pulling the most awkward faces. "Oh poo" Ratchet was about to say something before he saw the data base computer clearing up again, revealing another memory. "Another is found"

MEMORY TWO

After the memory cleared, it showed knockout walking through a corridor. He had a distressed look on his face, holding a data pad in his hand. Breakdown however was no where to be seen, it was just him. Knockout however had arrived at Predakings little berth room, walking in with a tiny smile. "Predaking?" The predacon looked at the other, standing to his feet. "Knockout? What's wrong?" The red mech sighs before he stood looking up at the former predacon. "About us..I'm not sure megatron will approve and Breakdown...We both don't feelings for each other but...he's still my partner and i'm not he'll like it.." Predaking smiled, kneeling down to look him directly in the optics. "I understand your concern..But it might not be a problem if you tell Breakdown"

Knockout crosses his arms over his chassis. "He might be accepting of it, seeming he's always been at my side..But what about Megatr-" Before he could say more, the door to Predakings berth room was opened, shockwave stood there staring at them. "Knockout, Megatron requires your audience" Knockout nodded, looking at Predaking before walking out the predacon quarters.

Once knockout reached the main communication room, standing on the bridge as he spotted Megatron. "Yes, lord megatron?" Megatron smirked before he turned to the red mech. "Knockout, I have received word that you and the predacon have been...busy" All the cons in the room turn their heads to look at the medic. Embarrassed, Knockout tried his best to cover it up. "I-i don't know what you're taking about?" Megatron chuckled as he leaned down to the medics face, "Shockwave has done well to notify me that the predacon in his spark mating season and shockwave has been monitoring his behaviour" Knockout blinks, "M-master y-" "Listen to me, doctor... We're all aware that you're the only mech carrier left within the decepticon ranks, so it's important we increase our numbers"

That, made Knockout's optics widen. "L-lord Megatron, you're not suggesting-" "Indeed, i'm impressed you were able to interest the predacon" The decepticon leader leaned closer, "Chose the predacon as your mate if you will, but you must know the risks due to his physical size" Megatron was right, Predaking was tall and well built, holding his sparkling would be life threatening. "I as your leader will suggest the predacon, because it'll be interesting to see what the outcome would be~" Megatron's grin widened, standing upright to turn his back to him.

The red medic was looking at the ground, the idea of interfacing with predaking and having a sparkling was a little hard to imagine. After staring at the floor for a few clicks, he turned and walked out the command centre with a few dirty stares. Knockout laid a hand on his helm, cursing under his breath, "Scrap..". "Red?" A familiar voice spoke from behind him, turning, it was Breakdown. "Yes?" The red medic glances up at his partner. "I heard what happened...Are you really with the predacon?" Knockout stood forward, wanting to speak but was cut off. "No, you don't need to explain yourself...I know i haven't been the partner I once was.. And I know- Predacon seems to act more like mate than i once did.." With that said, Knockout walked over to his partner, tapping his chest. "Thank you, partner~"

Breakdown tapped knockout's shoulder, "How about we go together on a mission Megatron had requested me for, i'll help you get your mind off things~"

Breakdown was laying on the floor, looking up to see the autobot leader carrying him away, reaching for him. "KNOCKOUT!"

After the memory had ended, the Autobots looked at each other. Ratchet looked at Knockout once he unplugged the memory fuser, "As I thought, he is a carrier.." Optimus also glances at the red mech, watching as he began to wake. Miko leaned against the bars, "Doc knock is awake?"

Sorry is this was a quick chapter, i'll try to write more~
