Chapter 1.
It was just another day Knock Out got up buffed himself and went to work at the hospital.
He walked through the door and was greeted by his friends Red Alert, and First Aid.
Starscream was there too. The seeker had switched sides after he woke up from his coma and he and Knock Out had made up and become friends again.
"Hi guys how's it going?" Knock Out said to his friends.
"Not good we found a body this morning." Red Alert explained.
"Who was it and what happened to them?" Asked Knock Out.
"It was Pharma he was in the closet and it's seems to have been a spark attack that killed him." First Aid explained.
"That's strange I didn't know Pharma very well but I never heard of him having any spark trouble." Said Knock Out. "Oh hey Starscream." He added spotting the seeker.
"Hi I'm here for my check up." Starscream replied.
"Ok just follow me." Knock Out told the seeker as he led him back for his check up.
A few hours later Knock Out was finished running all the tests and Starscream checked out with a clean bill of health.
Then as he was saying goodbye to the seeker Knock Out accidentally bumped into a nurse and he dropped his patients files all over the floor.
"I'm so sorry." The purple and white femme apologized.
"It's ok." Knock Out told her. "My name's Knock Out I haven't seen you here before."
"Oh I'm new my name is Road Siren." She introduced herself.
"Wanna go out for energon later?" Knock Out asked her.
"Sure." She replied as they both got back to work.
Knock Out noticed the lights flickered and went down to check the generator.
He noticed a strange ticking sound when he got to the basement.
"Odd?" He told himself as he pulled the panel open only to see a countdown suddenly hit 0 just as he was suddenly shoved out of the way as an expression went off. It was a bomb.
The next thing Knock Out knew he was pulling himself off the floor with Road Siren kneeling beside him.
"Are you ok?" She asked. "I came down to see way the lights were acting strange and saw that bomb go off and only had time to push you away."
"Yeah I'm fine." Knock Out told her as he stood up. "Thanks for pushing me out of the way you saved me."
"Anytime." She smiled.
"But this was no accident we need to find out who did this." Knock Out said to her.
"Who would plant a bomb in a hospital?" Road Siren asked.
"I don't know but I'm gonna call the Autobots to help us find out." Knock Out told her.
Later the Autobots were at the hospital after Knock Out called them and explained what happened.
Starscream went down to check where the bomb went off only because he didn't want to be in the same room with Arcee even though he had changed sides the two of them still didn't get along.
Knock Out was talking with Smokescreen, Arcee, Ratchet and Bulkhead. Bumblebee and Optimus were currently on Earth and Ultra Magnus and Wheeljack were off on a mission somewhere else.
Suddenly they heard a boom and Starscream scream form the basement and all ran down to find the seeker laying on the floor with a wound on his shoulder and energon all over the floor.
Knock Out and Ratchet both jumped into action right away. Try to get Starscream who was now unconscious stable.
They could tell the seeker had been shot and saw a shadow of someone running away Arcee, Smokescreen and Bulkhead took off after them knowing it was the one who shot Starscream.
Knock Out and Ratchet rushed Starscream up to the ER seeing that he was losing energon fast and if the blast had hit even an inch lower and it would have hit his spark.
"Hold on Starscream!" Knock Out begged his friend as he and Ratchet got to work on the seeker hoping to save him.
Fortunately they quickly got him stable and to a room. But they didn't know when he would regain consciousness.
Then the others got back and unfortunately the bot who shot Starscream had gotten away.
And Knock Out and Ratchet pointed out that there were scratchs on Starscream's servos and fragments of something on them like something had been forcefully ripped from the seekers hands.
Then Knock Out remembered that there had been a camera down there and went to check it and found it gone that was what they had taken from Starscream the seeker had been about to check it.
"Why would someone do this?" Knock Out thought out loud. "It doesn't make sense."
"It doesn't." Said Ratchet who came down with him. "I also checked Pharma's body and it wasn't a spark attack but mech venom that killed him. The effects make it look like a spark attack."
"But why do that?" Asked Knock Out.
"I don't know." Ratchet replied.
Later that night Knock Out was driving home the Autobots had agreed to stay and try to help get to the bottom of what was going on at the hospital.
And Ratchet had agreed to stay at the hospital to take care of Starscream. Which Knock Out was glad because he didn't know if the seeker would be safe there given everything that had happened.
Knock Out was going home to get ready for his date with Road Siren.
When he his com-link suddenly started beeping and he answered it and was meet with a weird high pitched whistling sound that almost made him crash.
Knock Out transformed into his bot mode and tried to turn his com-link off but couldn't focus enough to do so.
And used his servos to hold his helm that was now throbbing from the strange frequency.
Poor Knock Out felt like his processor was being fried his vision was blurry and the only thing he could hear was that horrible frequency.
He was now on his knees with his servos on his helm that wouldn't stop aching and letting out low grunts.
When suddenly he felt someone's servos on him Knock Out to spite being unable to focus and his helm being in a great deal of pain felt relived that another bot was trying to help him.
But unfortunately this turned out to not be the case because the other bot who Knock Out couldn't make out because right now all he could see was shape and shadows took out an energon dagger which was the only thing he could make out and stabbed him in the midsection with it.
Then the other bot took the dagger and Knock Out could tell they were going to use it on his neckcables but suddenly someone started shooting at Knock Out's attacker and they took off leaving the wounded sports car behind.
Then the bot who had shot at them Bulkhead rushed over to the downed medic.
Fortunately for Knock Out the wrecker had been on his way to Macadams which was on the way to where Knock Out lived and he had gotten there just in time to see him get stabbed.
"Knock Out!" Bulkhead shouted as he lifted the injured transformer off the ground and noticed his optics were dim and looking in different directions while his frame was shaking and he was losing energon fast.
"Just hold on." Bulkhead told him as he activated his com-link. "This is Bulkhead I need an emergency ground bridge to the hospital and paramedics!"
To Be Continued.
Cliffhanger right off the bat. I know I probably should have waited till after I finished Deception but this idea just wouldn't leave me alone. I'll try to get the next chapter of this and my other stories up soon. In the meantime feel free to rate and review.
