Here's the next chapter and its longer than the previous one, just like I promised. C:

"What the frag is going on out there?" Starscream practically shrieked as he stood off the floor of the brig.

Thundercracker got to his pedes, "I don't know but it felt like the warship had crashed."

"Crashed?" Skywarp asked, being stuck upside down against one of the brig walls. "What do you think made it crash if it did?"

Thundercracker shrugged, "I really don't know," he turned to Starscream. "Ask your sparkmate what happened through the bond."

Starscream's optics widened, "Knock Out," he panicked and he directed his attention to the bond, Knock Out! Knock Out are you alright?

There was a groan on the other side, Yea, I'm fine.

Starscream frowned, Are you sure?

Knock Out grumbled, most likely towards any scratches that he had, Nothing that a little Carnauba wax can't fix.

The way he said that sounded as if he said it out loud as well. Knowing Knock Out, that would be something he would do.

What happened out there? It felt like the Nemesis had crashed.

It did, was Knock Out's answer.

Starscream turned to Thundercracker, nodding his helm, "It did crash."

Skywarp managed to unstuck himself in his upside down position, "From what?"

From what? the grey Seeker asked through the bond.

Do you remember those Terrorcons?

Y-yeah...? How could he forget.

Well, the ones I am talking about are the non-energon sucking kind and they had knocked the Nemesis out of the sky, Knock Out explained.

Wait. Terrorcons knocked the Nemesis out of the sky? How?

Knock Out was quiet on the other side for a bit, Let's just say that Unicron thought it to be such a fun idea if we danced with his undead army of Predacon-Terrorcons.

Starscream's optics widened, "Scrap."

"What is it?" Thundercracker asked.

The trine leader turned his attention to the blue Seeker, "Undead Predacons knocked the warship out of the sky."

Thundercracker rolled his optics, "Great."

"My thoughts exactly."

Uh, Starscream?

Starscream turned his helm away from his trine-members, Yeah?

Knock Out sounded slightly panicked, Do you think you can somehow come out here and help us? We could really use your help in fighting these things off.

We would like to but our wings are still clamped and not to mention my servos are still cuffed.

Then try to remove them manually, there's a lot of them out here.

I'll see what we can do. You just focus on staying out of the fight. You're still sparked after all so it would be best if you stay on the warship.

The other end of the bond was quiet for quite a bit before Knock Out finally responded, Y-yeah, I'll do that.

Why does that sound like you're lying to me?

Starscream, don't worry about me. Just get you and your trine out here as soon as you can.

Starscream nodded his helm, Alright, please be careful.

I will, Knock Out paused and the grey Seeker could feel the awkwardness flowing through the bond. I-I love you.

Starscream smiled, closing his optics, letting his love flow through to the red mech, Love you too.

A small wave mix of nervousness and love met his and he couldn't help but chuckle before directing his attention back to his trine-members.

"So?" Skywarp asked, finally on his pedes and standing beside his fellow trine-member.

"What's going on? What are we going to do?" Thundercracker then asked.

Starscream stood before them, standing straight with his wings held as high as he could while they were clamped, "Thundercracker. Skywarp. We have a mission."

"A mission?" Skywarp questioned.

"Do we have to fight?" Thundercracker asked.

"If the future of Cybertron depends on us to fight, would you?" Starscream asked.

Thundercracker thought it over.

"I would," Skywarp said. He looked at the blue Seeker, "TC?"

Thundercracker grumbled, "I know that I would rather not fight now, having already deserted from the Decepticons..." he then looked up. "... but if Cybertron needs my help now more than ever, I'll do it."

Starscream nodded his helm, "Good," he said then began fiddling with the cuffs on his servos. "Now, help me get out of these cuffs so we can help each other out of the wing clamps."

The grounded Terrorcon-Predacons trudged forward, growling and hissing at the bots in front of them. The closest one lifted a claw and swiped for Jazz but he jumped out of reach.

"What do you suggest we do to take them down?" the white and black mech asked the others.

"Ratchet had mentioned that when he had fought some Terrorcons with Optimus, they practically dissected them to make them stop moving. Smaller the pieces, the better," she said then swung her arm blade at a Terrorcon-Predacons leg, making it fall to the side a bit before she finished it off with a cut that severed the head from its body.

The purple light went out in its head but the body still had the light and was still trying to move forward. The bots that were closest were honestly grossed out by it.

"Forget that! Go for the spark!" Knock Out yelled from somewhere behind them.

Jazz aimed his blasters and began to shoot rapidly at the Terrorcon-Predacon's chest until the shots went right through and it finally fell and the purple glow disappeared.

"These ones must be stronger since Unicron himself brought them back from the dead," Blaster said then hit a Terrorcon-Predacon away before sending a tendril right through its chest.

Bulkhead smashed one in the chest and proceeded to pound it into the ground when it was down. Once the purple glow went out, he turned to the others, "These guys are more fragile then the actual living Predacons."

"It might be because their armor had weakened over the many years that they've been dead," Arcee explained, going for another Terrorcon-Predacon.

"They're practically turning to dust when I smash them," Bulkhead said.

Over behind them, the other four stood and waited for when the others needed help.

Smokescreen began to fidget, "Come on, I just want to get in there and help."

Bumblebee patted his shoulder, "You'll be able to soon."

"When someone needs help, you can go first, I'm in no rush," Knock Out said, leaning against his staff.

"Yea," Bumblebee agreed.

Smokescreen smiled, "Thanks guys."

Soundwave walked towards them, pointing towards where the others were. The more they fought, the more they moved into the mass of undead Predacons which meant that some were going around them and coming up from behind.

"Oh, that's my cue," he began to run ahead but stopped, turning around. "Come on Bumblebee, it looks more like a job for two."

Bumblebee smiled and ran after the rookie.

Soundwave stood beside Knock Out, watching as the yellow mech kicked a Predacon away from attacking Jazz from behind. He felt a servo on his arm and looked at the red medic beside him.

Knock Out smiled, "I know that you care for him."

The slender mech looked down from him, "How could you tell?"

"I could see it, the way you act around him," he then grinned. "Not to mention the fact that Blaster told me."

Soundwave hissed, "That slagger."

Knock Out chuckled, "Hey now, that's your brother you're talking about."

Soundwave smiled behind the visor, looking up at the others fighting, "I know. He just gets under my plating sometimes."

"That's what older brothers do," the red mech said. "And he cares for you, even more now since you two hadn't seen each other since the beginning of the war."

Soundwave looked down, his shoulders sagging, "Yea, I know."

Knock Out looked out to the others, frowning, "And it looks like he may need your help right now."

Soundwave looked up, seeing that the red medic was right. He wanted to go but then that would leave the medic alone, "What about you?"

"Go, I'll be fine. You guys are enough to take these things out."

Soundwave nodded his helm and ran to help Blaster out.

Knock Out stood there, leaning against his staff. He looked up at the sky, seeing it beginning to grow darker as it got closer to nightfall. He frowned, "Come on Optimus, we need you and Wheeljack here as soon as possible."

There was suddenly a cry that was heard and Knock Out looked back at the others, seeing Bumblebee get knocked down by a Predacon, others coming for him on either side. He gasped, "Bumblebee!" he yelled.

Soundwave looked up then to see the yellow mech on the ground, trying to crawl away with an injured leg. He looked to Blaster who nodded his helm, "Go, he needs your help more than me."

The slender mech nodded his helm and ran for Bumblebee, jumping over a numerous amounts of undead Predacons to get to him. He landed right in front of him and hit away the closer Terrorcon-Predacon, sending his tendril through its chest. Just as he was about to turn to the next closest, it swiped at him but he acted fast and blocked it with an arm.

"Soundwave," the slender mech heard the yellow mech whine behind him. He turned his helm to see that they were surrounded on all sides.

Soundwave was having none of this. He hit the undead Predacon away that he had blocked and jumped back, landing right over the yellow mech in a defensive stance. His visor suddenly turned red as he yelled, "RUMBLE! FRENZY!"

"On it boss!" came Frenzy's voice as he jumped off the Nemesis, bounding towards Soundwave and the mass of Terrorcon-Predacons.

"Yes! Finally!" cheered Rumble as he jumped out of a crevice somewhere and went for the same destination as his twin.

They jumped into the mass of the undead, jumping on heads as they made their way to Soundwave, leaping onto his shoulders once they got there. The twins both laughed and fist-bumped each other before their plating began to shift. They began transforming.

They transformed around Soundwave's shoulders and continued transforming around his arms. Once they were done, Soundwave slammed his arms down into the ground on either side of him and Bumblebee. Plating then moved on his new arms until they expanded and what looked like four giant speakers in a row down each of his arms was formed.

Blaster grinned over where he was, "Oh, they are so going to get it."

The "speakers" suddenly began to make a humming noise, a glowing energy began to come off of each of them.

Bumblebee had watched this happen underneath the slender mech. He then looked around them, gripping the mech's slender legs when he noticed that the undead Predacons were becoming dangerously close.

Soundwave noticed this too and his frame tensed up and there was suddenly a short deafening silence before a loud blast was heard as a giant wave of sound shot out of the speakers at once. All the Terrorcon-Predacons around them were pushed back, their brittle frames shattering into pieces and they were practically turned into dust. The others were pushed back a bit but not by much but the undead Predacons near them had their plating either shattered or cracked. Knock Out was far enough that all he felt was a breeze from the blast.

Knock Out tapped his chin, "Hmm, who knew Soundwave himself could be such a knock out," he snorted at how ridiculous that pun was.

After the blast, Soundwave immediately picked up Bumblebee from below him and ran towards the red medic when the way was finally clear. Right after he set him down carefully, his frame sagged and he fell down onto one knee, his arms transforming back until Rumble and Frenzy were back to their normal robot-modes and jumped off his shoulders.

Knock Out was right there when Bumblebee was set down and he first went to check over the yellow mech's injured leg.

Bumblebee looked at the slender mech that was kneeling beside him, "Soundwave? Are you alright?"

The slender mech nodded his helm slowly, the sound of fans and the sight of his frame rising and falling quickly was a sign that he was trying to cool his overheated systems. His visor was slowly dimming back down from red as well as he knelt there to rest.

Frenzy sat down, patting the yellow bots good leg as his fans turned on as well, "He's alright, this always happens when he does that. He doesn't do it much either, just because it weakens him after and us."

Rumble laughed tiredly and flopped onto his back, "Wooooo, but what a rush," he grinned. "I can't remember the last time we had done that."

Frenzy just shook his helm at his brother after, "It was back in the Pits, when we fought against Megatron. If we didn't use that attack, then we would have been scrapped."

Knock Out patched up the wound easily, smiling after when Soundwave raised his helm at the medic, "The wound isn't bad Soundwave, you can stop worrying now."

Soundwave rested a servo over the now patched up leg, looking at the yellow mech.

Bumblebee smiled, "It's alright Soundwave, I'm fine. More importantly, are you okay?"

Soundwave was hesitant before nodding his helm after.

Bumblebee frowned, "Why do you care so much about me?"

Knock Out grinned at that question. Oh, this was going to be juicy.

Soundwave stared at him for a bit before looking away, feeling embarrassed.

Realizing what was going on, the yellow mech rested a servo over the slender mech's servo, the same one on his patched up wound, "Please take off your visor."

Soundwave was reluctant at first but he then reached up to his visor, the clicking sounds of the locks opening were heard before he removed the visor from over his faceplate. He glanced away from him then, his faceplate having a rather noticeable blush on it.

Bumblebee smiled softly and leaned up to him, planting a light kiss on the slender mech's cheek, "Thank-you for caring about me."

Soundwave frowned, staring at him as he blinked a couple times in shock.

"I like you better without the visor," Bumblebee then added.

Knock Out grinned, that did it. He watched with amusement as Soundwave's optics widened and his already flushed faceplate became even brighter. Rumble and Frenzy were both shocked as well at what happened.

Soundwave then panics and began fumbling with his visor, trying to put it back on but it ends up slipping from his servos. Thankfully it didn't break when it hit the ground but the slender mech ended up covering his faceplate with his servos instead in embarrassment.

Bumblebee chuckled at Soundwave's reaction.

There was suddenly a loud growl as Unicron became pissed at seeing the numbers of his undead army dwindle. Well, his army that was still up there with him since they didn't have the ability to fly. Once the last one collapsed into pieces, he began stomping forward, "I had enough of you pests. I'll deal with you myself."

Bulkhead charge at him with his wrecking-ball servo but was smacked away with ease. Blaster tried attacking but Unicron grabbed his arm and threw him to the side. Same with Jazz and Arcee, they were hit away as he continued forward.

Smokescreen got in front of him, shooting at him but was thrown like the rest. Knock Out stood and backed away as Unicron went towards the three of them.

Scratch that, Unicron stomped towards him, walking right passed the injured Bumblebee and still weakened Soundwave.

Knock Out went to hit the chaos-bringer with his sparking staff but the larger mech easily grabbed it and threw it to the side before grabbing the red mech's shoulder, lifting him up in the air.

Knock Out cried out in pain as he was lifted up in the air, the sharp claws of the Unicron-possessed-Megatron digging into his shoulder. He tried clawing at the servo that was gripping his shoulder, trying to get him to let go but it didn't even faze the larger mech.

Unicron growled, making Knock Out look down at him in pain, "Starting with you."

Everyone gasped, "Knock Out!"

Knock Out's optics widened in horror.

"I'm going to eviscerate you and everyone else, along with Primus!" he growled.

Unicron's grip tightened on his shoulder and Knock Out cried out from the pain. He could hear and feel his plating buckle then break. Energon lines snapping and the blue-glowing liquid began pouring out of the wound and from under plating.

Soundwave was closest and he stood, taking a step forward to try and help but his knees buckled and he fell. His frame was still too weak from the previous attack he did that he had no energy left to attack Unicron.

Unicron's other servo lifted and gripped his side, "This universe is no place for weaklings!"

His other servo just began squeezing, his thumb digit digging into his stomach and drawing energon, before a purple light engulfed around them.

What's going to happen next? And what was that purple light? Kudos to whoever can guess it right.

The whole thing with Soundwave, Frenzy, and Rumble was based on the Transformers Prime game where when Soundwave gets a power up or something, his arms practically split apart to use an attack that sends a blast at the opponent that sort of resembles the Resonance Blaster.

Two more chapters after this one. Almost finished. I know, its sad but there is still the story "After The Miracle" so its technically not finished yet.

Oh, I forgot to mention in the previous chapter that I had gotten my first 'flame'. It was only directed at this story and I'm not going to lie, I was oddly giddy about getting it. Don't worry, I wasn't sad or upset about it because its actually really difficult to make me feel down. I'm a very happy person.

I used the flame to help heat my neighbour's home. She has a wood-stove. XD
