B6 was not able to get to the escape pods, he had seen Megatron to close by to them with Soundwave, he went for a quick plan B he'd just came up with. He ran to the medics, "Knockout!" he said yelling, happy to see him alone, "B6, don't run with the little guy he'll-" Please, you've gotta help us, Starscream found out about him and his hunting me down!" "What!?" Knockout asked worried, "I can't get to the escape pods, can you open a ground bridge?" B6 asked hurriedly, "Of Course!" Knockout said understanding and opening Green ground bridge, B6 was about to go through, "B6 Wait!" Knockout shouted, B6 stopped. "Take these." Knockout said handing him energon cubes, "Thankyou Knockout." B6 said solemnly, "Bye little guy." Knockout said looking at Steelspark. "B6." he stopped again, "I do hope to see you two again." "So do I knockout." B6 nodded and walked through. As soon as B6 was gone Knockout shut down the ground bridge, Knockout sat down on a berth, hoping they were fine. "Don't tell anyone." Knockout said to the injured soldier, on a berth far away from the scene, he nodded and just laid down.
B6 and Steelspark were now in some earth forest, the trees were taller than B6 and the ground was muddy. B6 sighed, "Better than there." Steelspark whined, "Shh, it's okay now, we're safe." however he kept on whining, B6 felt through the bond that his sparkling was hungry, "Here you go." he said giving Steelspark a low grade cube. He had gulped it down quickly, once finished B6 hugged him tight. "First things first, we need a safe haven." he said walking around trying to locate one. B6 only came to the end of the forest, beyond he saw green hills, dark skies, and more forest on the other side, "Must be a clearing." he said to himself, he looked down and saw his Sparkling recharging. He felt tired himself, an just sat against a tree, he wondered how 79 was, and how Knockout was. 'What will Starscream do? Will he pursue me? Or will he think I'm off line and won't bother?' B6 asked himself before falling into a recharge, protectively hugging his sparling in his arms.
Meanwhile Starscream left to go find B6, leaving behind shocked Vehicons with their now deceased fellow soldier. Starscream went to the escaped pods first, and saw none were commissioned. He figured B6 must've used a ground bridge and went to consult Soundwave about that. "Soundwave." he said when he found him, Soundwave paused, he then looked at the second in command, "I must see the latest activity of ground bridges." he explained, Soundwave tilted his helm in confusion, "Query: why?" Soundwave asked in a few voice recordings, "I just need to see them." Starscream snapped, Soundwave showed him a data pad. Starscream took it and scrolled through it, finally he found the info he needed, a ground bridge had almost just been used in the medical chamber. He gave back the datapad and walked to the red mechs place of work. "Knockout!" he called once he was inside, "What is it Starscream?" Knockout asked in a calm tone, "Was a ground bridge activated here?" he asked wondering if Knockout would tell the truth or not. "Hmm.." Knockout asked thinking quickly "Oh that's right, I had sent a Vehicon down to earth to collect a mineral which will help me in my experiment on energon." Starscream gave him the death glare not believing it. "Then send me there as well." Knockout was shocked, "why do you need to?" he asked trying to be nonchalant. "Just do so." Starscream demanded, with a sigh Knockout opened a ground bridge and Starscream went through, not knowing it was to a different location than B6.
