Chapter 11 Oblivion.
All of the DJD opened fire on Starscream. But the seeker somehow managed to dodge all of their blasts. Then fired back at them using his missiles.
Starscream kept changing back and fourth between his jet and cybertronian modes and running, jumping and flying to avoid being hit. While striking any member of the DJD he could whenever he found a chance.
And the seeker was holding his own surprisingly well. Then Helex and Tesarus both charged at him and Starscream jumped out of the way and the two DJD members ended up crashing into each other and being knocked out as a result.
"Wow Starscream I can see you brought your A-game I since a lot of rage behind those fighting moves." Said Tarn. "You must love Flame Shadow a lot to be this angry and trying to avenge her this badly."
"You don't get to talk about her!" Starscream shouted at Tarn. "She loved you and mourned you and she spent years trying to get justice for you." "Only to have you nearly kill her." "She loved you how could you betray her like that!"
"Why did you hurt her like that!" Starscream screamed at him. "Why!"
"Because she was weak." Tarn Hissed. "And as leader of the DJD I have no place in my life for weaklings like her I was weak as Glitch but I'm not that bot anymore I'm not weak like she is."
"She's not weak Flame Shadow is the strongest femme I've ever met!" Starscream almost sobbed. "Don't you ever call her weak!"
"This coming form a weak coward." Tarn growled at Starscream.
"I'll take being a weak coward over being a monster any day." Starscream shot back. "Because monsters are always slain in the end but sometimes coward survive."
"Survive this!" Tarn yelled as he transformed and fired his cannon at Starscream.
But luckily the seeker managed to dodge it but the DJD's medic and maintenance bot Nickel who had been standing behind Starscream was hit and the teal and white minicon femme was killed instantly.
"No!" Roared Tarn who then charged at Starscream now in a rage.
Starscream managed to avoid the attacks from the now angry leader of the DJD. But he ended up being zapped from behind by Kaon and the seeker fell to the ground unconscious.
Meanwhile back at the medbay in Hanger E. Ratchet was performing emergency surgery on Knock Out disparately trying to save his life.
Ratchet had already hooked Knock Out up to an energon drip to replace some of what he'd lost. Because the red medic had lost a dangerous amount of energon.
Now Ratchet was treating the wound on the cherry colored mech's shoulder because he had just finish patching where he had been shot in the midsection.
But the wound on his shoulder was worse. That was where Cyclonus had shot Knock Out's main fuel line. And it didn't help that Lockdown had pulled loose several wires that were now exposed.
Ratchet was trying his best to fix the damage and keep Knock Out functioning. While Moonracer, Flame Shadow and Steeljaw waited outside the medbay. Then after a few hours had passed Ratchet came out and said Knock Out was stable.
But just then they heard several alarms start going off in the medbay and ran inside to see what was happening and saw that Knock Out's vitals were all over the place.
"No he's gone into shock!" Ratchet almost shouted as he got to work trying to get Knock Out stable again. "Knock Out you have to snap out of it."
But the red mech continued to shake uncontrollably until suddenly he stopped as his frame went limp and more disturbingly his life signal flat lined.
"No." "Knock Out don't do this to us!" Ratchet begged the red transformer as he was trying to bring him back online.
While the others watched helplessly from the doorway. As Ratchet continued to use the paddles trying everything in his power to get Knock Out's signal back online.
Then Ratchet put the paddles down and walked over to the others. "I'm sorry." He told them fighting back coolant tears. "He's gone."
"No!" Moonracer screamed as she ran over to the medical berth that Knock Out's now lifeless body was on and started sobbing as she cradled his corpse. "I love you too." She cried. "How can you leave me like this?"
Then she kissed him on the mouth. And suddenly Knock Out's servo moved and gently touch Moonracer's arm that she had around him. And at the same moment Ratchet saw his life signal come back online.
"I could never leave you." Knock Out told her as he kissed her back.
"Your alive." She said as she put both her arms around him and they hugged.
"How is that possible?" Asked Steeljaw. "You just preannounced Knock Out dead how did he come back online?"
"I don't care why it happened I'm just glad it did." Ratchet told him relieved that Knock Out was going to be OK.
"It's just like one of those Earth fairy tales where true love's kiss saves the day." Said Flame Shadow. Then everyone gave her a look of disbelief. "The humans told me about them."
"Just no one tell Miko." Ratchet told them knowing the human girl would have a field day if she knew Knock Out and Moonracer had gotten together after all and a kiss had brought Knock Out back online.
Just then Cyclonus showed up right at the end of the hall.
"How did he get out?" Asked Steeljaw. "I put him and Lockdown in stasis pods?"
"Mine had a malfunction." Cyclonus explained. "And since Lockdown got himself captured twice I decided to leave him in his stasis pod every con for himself and what not." "But I want to take some revenge."
Then Cyclonus approach where Ratchet, Flame Shadow and Steeljaw were standing. When all of a suddenly he was shot in the leg and fell to the floor with coolant tears of pain in his optics.
Then they looked to the door of the medbay and saw that Moonracer had shot Cyclonus in the leg with the same blaster he had shot Knock Out with earlier.
"That was for hurting Knock Out." She hissed.
Then Knock Out walked over and punched Cyclonus right in the faceplates. "And that was for totaling my paint job you lugnut." Knock Out growled at him.
"Well that and the fact that he almost well technically did kill you." Steeljaw added.
"Can I please go back to my stasis pod now?" Cyclonus asked now in pain. So they put him back in the pod and made sure it was working this time.
"Moonracer is one of the best sharpshooters there is." Knock Out told them explaining why she was able to take out Cyclonus with the blaster like she did. And then Ratchet ran some tests on Knock Out and was glad to see he'd made a full recovery and was going to be fine now.
Meanwhile Starscream came to and realized he was strapped to Kaon's electric char mode who kept shocking him.
"This is payback for getting Nickel killed." Said Tarn. "We'll each take a turn with you till you go offline."
"Funny how a monster like you can go nuts over the death of your medic." Starscream told him. "But I understand something now the reason you attack Flame Shadow is you still have feelings for her and it terrifies you because your afraid of going back to the way you used to be."
"But what you don't get is that's the best part of you from what Flame Shadow told me you used to be kind?" Starscream continued. "What happened?"
"Shut up!" Tarn yelled at him as he went over and punched Starscream hard across the faceplates.
"Guess I struck a nerve." Starscream said weakly as Kaon start shocking him again. "It doesn't matter who you used to be your just a monster now." "Glitch really was killed by the DJD and Decepticons because you let them change you."
"Kaon stop I want to end this seeker with my own two servos right now." Tarn bellowed as he walked over to Kaon's electric chair mode and got Starscream off it. And was now holding the still stunned and in pain seeker by the neck.
Now Tarn was about to finish Starscream with his arm cannon by shooting him through the spark.
When something hit him from behind causing him to toss Starscream to the ground. And Tarn was then punched to the ground himself. Then Starscream who was still dazed heard footsteps approaching him.
"Starscream are you OK?" Asked a familiar voice. The seeker looked up and was surprised to see Megatron standing above him wearing the Apex Armor to protect his spark chamber from being hit. Then he offer his servo to Starscream and helped his former second in command to his feet.
"Yes a little sore but nothing compared to the beatings you used to give me." Starscream joked causing Megatron to smile.
"I bet he attacked you for the same reason I used to beat you." Megatron told him. "You got in his head something you've always been good at."
"Well I've had loads of practice." Starscream said as a smile crossed his faceplates.
"I'm sorry." Megatron told the members of the DJD as Tarn pulled himself up. "I'm the one who made all of you what you are." "But the Decepticon cause is over so please stop harming other cybertronians I've learned now that peace through tyranny doesn't work."
"Oh how the mighty have fallen." Hissed Tarn. "So I guess Megatron is now on our list how ironic that our former leader is now our target."
"The DJD are beyond help let's take them down together." Megatron told Starscream to which the seeker agreed.
Then Megatron and Starscream started fighting the members of the DJD. At one point Voss had jumped on to Megatron's shoulders only to be blasted off by Starscream who didn't have to worry about harming Megatron who was being protected by the Apex Armor. But Voss was blown to bits.
Then Megatron defeated Helex but noticed Starscream was now being ganged up on by Tesarus and Kaon. So he ran over to help the former Decepticon air commander. Only to have Tesarus start trying to reach for where the armor's button was trying to get it off Megatron.
Starscream who was still fighting Kaon realize what Tesarus was up to and knew if he got the armor off Megatron it would be easy for the former warlord to be hit in the spark chamber which would end him. And Starscream wasn't about to let that happen.
And Starscream saw that Kaon was getting ready to shock him so he ran over to where Tesarus was still fighting Megatron. And Kaon ran after him ready to zap him.
But Starscream suddenly did a back flip and kicked Kaon causing him to fall forward right into Tesarus where one of the coils on his back somehow got stuck in Tesarus's grinding pit. And now the two DJD members were going nuts.
Kaon trying to free his coil in a desperate attempt to keep from being crushed and Tesarus trying to get Kaon's coil to stop shocking him. Then Starscream fired one of his missiles at them causing them both to be blown to pieces.
But Starscream had been standing a bit to close and ended up being knocked backwards from the force of the explosion and landed on his butt. Megatron saw this.
"Starscream are you alright?" He asked the seeker.
"Better then those two he said as he stood up and revealed that other then the whole front of him being black from the explosion he was fine. "Remind me to never do that again." He added.
Megatron couldn't help but chuckle. But his expression quickly changed when Tarn who was now the only surviving DJD member grabbed Starscream from behind before the seeker could react.
"Since you killed my whole team in front of me I'll kill your former second in command in front of you." Tarn bellowed.
But Megatron had a plan. "Soundwave I need you to send a space bridge to Chaar for the cornets I send you." Megatron said over his com-link too low for Tarn to hear.
Soundwave got the message because a space bridge opened behind Tarn then Megatron blasted him through the space bridge that was set for the Ozone layer of Velocitron that was still on fire form it's sun going nova.
But Megatron didn't count on Tarn grabbing Starscream by the arm and dragging the seeker with him. Megatron jump in the space bridge after them right before it closed.
To spite the intense heat Tarn was now violently attacking Starscream trying to rip his spark out. But Megatron shot him off the seeker causing Tarn to go right into the fireball that had once been Velocitron that caused him to burn up killing him.
Then Megatron rushed over to where Starscream was and was horrified to see that the seeker was starting to burn up as well. Megatron was still being protected by the Apex Armor which was the only reason he wasn't being burned too.
"Soundwave I need another space bridge now!" Megatron shouted over his com-link only to find he didn't have a signal here. "Scrap!"
"Sorry I was stupid to go after the DJD alone like that." Starscream said weakly as he painfully continued to burn.
"No Starscream they had to be stopped." Megatron told him. "And I'm not letting you die with those monsters." And with that Megatron took off the Apex Armor and put it on Starscream to protect the seeker from receiving more damage.
"No Megatron you'll burn up!" Starscream yelled at him being to weak to move.
"This is my way of apologizing for all the times I hurt you during the war." Megatron told him. Then his chest burned and his spark went out.
"No!" Starscream screamed through the Apex Armor. As he saw his former master's optics stop glowing as he died. "No Megatron!" "Megatron!"
To Be Continued.
"So that was the climax next is the epilog." "And I'll try to have it up soon." "I hope the dialog was OK it was the best I could think of dialog is always a nightmare to come up with." "Please let me know if I missed any spelling mistakes."
