Chapter 2

The Autobots had all been wondering around Cybertron trying to learn what they could about the Decepticons who came on the Leviathan and hoping to run into Knock Out all wanting to know if he was ok.

Arcee was walking down the streets of Kaon knowing the Decepticons were likely to go there. Then she spotted Switchblades the leader of the Leviathan Crewe.

She followed him to try to see what he was doing she watch him talk to an orange mech and give him some credits before the two went their separate ways.

She decided to follow the orange mech and see what he was up to and what Switchblades had paid him for. She could see logos on his doors that told her he was a Decepticon.

Arcee followed him for awhile before she lost sight of him. Only for him to suddenly show up behind her.

"Why are you following me sweetspark." Quick Force asked. "It's gotta be my good looks how about we go somewhere nice?"

Then he started to lead her by the servo only for Arcee to punch him in the helm.

"Ooh feisty I like that." Quick Force said with a smirk.

"I don't want to go anywhere with you." Arcee told him not liking the way he had pretty much tried to bring her on a date without her consent.

"Then why were you following me?" Quick Force asked still with a smile on his faceplates.

"What did that mech hire you for?" Asked Arcee.

"He just wanted me to offline some bots for him that kind of what we assassins do." Quick Force explained as if it was the most normal thing.

"I'm not letting you kill anyone." Arcee told him.

"Sorry Doll but it's just too much credits to pass up." He answered. "Oops since I told you all that now I have to kill you it's a shame too because your a pretty femme."

Then he started trying to attack Arcee who was putting up a good fight. Then Quick Force took off and Arcee ran after him not wanting to let him escape knowing he was planning to kill someone.

Then they ended up running into Starscream who Arcee assumed must be working with Quick Force and started fight them both.

Then not wanting anything to do with this brawl Starscream bolted off as Arcee took off after him not wanting to let either of them get away.

"Hey where are you guys moving the party too?" Quick Force yelled after them as he gave chase. "I think they make a nice couple."

Arcee mange to jump Starscream after he ran inside Macadams and was fighting him.

Starscream was fighting back but really just wanted to get away. But Arcee wouldn't let him.

"Please Arcee just let me go I don't want to fight and I'm not working with the Decepticons anymore I just want everyone to leave me alone." Starscream tried to reason with her.

"I don't believe that. You were a Decepticon during the war and once a con always a con." She hissed at him.

"I don't want anything to do with either faction anymore I just want to be left alone!" Starscream shouted.

"Look I'm sorry about everything I did in the past and I'm sorry about Cliffjumper I get it I'll never be accepted or welcomed anywhere because I crossed to many lines in the past so could you guys at least let me be on my own!" He cried having had enough.

"Don't ever mention my partner!" Arcee growled at him as she continued to attack him.

"Wow you too apparently have some bad blood." Said Quick Force who was setting at the bar drinking a cube of energon and watching the whole thing play out like it was a stage show.

"Wanna take bets my money's on the femme." He said to somebots who were sitting near him at the bar who all moved away not wanting to sat next to the crazy mech.

"Ok he's insane." Arcee thought out loud.

"I know right?" Starscream agreed. Only to receive another punch to the faceplates.

"Right I've got a job to do." Said Quick Force as he aimed his blaster at Arcee who was to busy beating the scrap out of Starscream to notice.

But Starscream did and quickly used all his strength to push her off him and into a wall where the blast just missed her then the seeker jumped to his feet and ran out while everyone was distracted by the shot that had just been fired.

Quick Force also left because he just got bored and decided to just forget about Arcee knowing she'd probably go after Starscream before him.

Then Arcee got up and saw that both cons had escaped. So decided to go back to base and report what she'd learn.


Starscream didn't stop running until he got to an alley where he leaned against a wall and let himself slump to the ground.

He was now covered in dents and scratchs and had energon dripping from the side of his face where he had received a small cut.

He didn't know why he even bothered it seemed like no matter what he did or what side he was on he would always end up beaten and broken in the end even when he just wanted to be left alone.

But even though he was sorry for everything he'd done in the past no one seemed to want to forgive him or let him move on. As far as everyone else was concerned they'd never see him as anything other then a lying backstabber.

He would always be a monster to them and nothing would ever change that.

He decided to just go to the old abandon building he'd been staying in. But as he started to head home he felt a pain in his shoulder and realized he'd been shot there when he had knocked Arcee out of the way.

He decided to head to the nearest hospital or clinic to have his damage fixed.


Meanwhile Knock Out opened his optics again he still couldn't move, speak or focus and the IV was still hooked to his servo.

And he was strapped down even though he was so drugged up he wasn't going anywhere anyway.

Then Pharma who had just gotten back entered and walked over to him. Knock Out was fully conscious other then not being able to move or speak and seeing everything fuzzy out of focus.

He had just woke up enough to understand his situation and was glaring dagger up at the other medic.

Knock Out let out a few moans and groans but couldn't form any actual words. Pharma noticed this.

"Looks like your becoming a bit more aware Knock Out and we can't have that." Pharma told him picking up a syringe. "I'll have to up your meds."

Knock Out whimpered and choked out some strangled sobs trying to beg Pharma not to drug him anymore.

"Sleep tight." Pharma mocked Knock Out as he injected the circuit boosters into his neckcables then put some more in his IV and then he put a mask on him to give him Cryo-gas and for Knock Out everything went dark.

Then Pharma had to go home for the night and left Knock Out in the back room after tightening his restraints.
