Chapter 6.
The next day everyone was trying to decide what to do about the crew of the Leviathan knowing the location of their base. And how to stop the Leviathan crew from attacking Iacon and the Counsel.
They all went to an abandoned warehouse in Vos that Starscream had been staying in. It was big enough to make a good temporary base. Since it was too dangerous at their regular one for the time being since the Decepticons knew it's location.
Starscream decided to go out for a flight while Knock Out, Smokescreen and Bumblebee decided to race after they had spent almost the whole day trying to think of a plan to stop the Decepticons they were all taking a much needed break.
Starscream did several loops in his jet mode loving every moment in the sky flying was one of his favorite past times.
And he was happy to now be one of the Autobots and part of a team that accepted him and showed him kindness. That he didn't really feel like he deserved he had caused so much pain and trouble in the past he didn't think anyone would ever forgive him.
But the Autobots did and had given him a place among them as one of them and he was determined not to mess up and do his best to help them protect Cybertron and prove he was worthy of the second chance he'd been given.
Starscream did a few more loops and transformed in midair letting himself fall for a moment before transforming back into his jet mode and shooting back up into the sky just seconds before hitting the ground one of his favorite stunts.
Then he fly back to the warehouse to meet the other who he knew would be coming back.
Knock Out had made a joke when they first arrived there that no one would think the Autobots would make a base there because in Earth shows warehouses were always where the bad guys stayed. Which Starscream had laughed.
Then the seeker heard the sound of tires and knew the speedsters were returning to base and was ready to greet them. And saw Smokescreen and Bumblebee.
"What's going on you two where Knock Out?" Asked Starscream not seeing the red medic anywhere in sight.
"Wait you mean he didn't get here before us?" Bumblebee asked now sounding worried.
"He left us in the dust during the race and when we didn't see him at the finish line we thought he came back here." Smokescreen explained then he and Bumblebee shared worried glances.
"I'm gonna check inside." Said Smokescreen who ran inside the base to look for the red mech. Only to come out and say he wasn't there and no one else had seen or heard from him since they left for the race.
Then they tried him on their com-links and only got static.
"I'm going to see if I can find him from the sky." Starscream told them before he transformed and took off in his jet mode knowing something was terribly wrong it wasn't like Knock Out to just vanish especially after a race.
Knock Out was the type who would stay and greet the others at the finish line after winning a race loving the attention and asking to do it again.
At least on Cybertron or Velocitron he had made his only exception on Earth having to keep a low profile so just took off after each race. He had actually won several trophies that he never claimed but he didn't care because he really just liked to race for the challenge it was the velocitronian in him.
Starscream fly to the area they had been racing in hoping to spot his friend. And saw something red shine from below him so landed for a closer look and found a piece of Knock Out's armor plating.
Suddenly Starscream heard pedsteps and felt something hit him from behind before he fell to the ground unconscious.
Earlier in the same area Knock Out had been driving happy to be in the lead of their race when he saw a Cyber-Dog with an injured leg by the side of the road and stopped to help it.
He got out his medkit and fixed it's leg. Only for it to start licking his faceplates.
"Wow you sure are a friendly one." Knock Out said petting it. "Ok your welcome."
Then suddenly the Cyber-Dog started to snarl looking at something that was behind Knock Out.
"What is it?" Knock Out asked. "What's wrong?" Knock Out barely got the words out before he was suddenly struck from behind with a hard blow to the helm that rendered him unconscious and he hit a rock that chipped off a small part of his armor plating.
The Cyber-Dog continued to growl and snarl and ran forward with its metal teeth showing wanting to defend the bot who helped it.
But received a kick to the helm for it's trouble and feel to the ground with a whimper. Then Quick Force the one who had hit Knock Out dragged the still unconscious red medic away.
But the Cyber-Dog quickly regained it's senses and followed at a distance not wanting to lose sight of the cherry colored mech but also not wanting another kick. It followed Quick Force till he entered a cybertronian shack then came back out and locked it trapping Knock Out inside.
Then left and came back a few minutes later with Starscream who he locked in as well then left to do something.
Awhile later Starscream woke up and was relieved to see Knock Out was there and other then having a small dent on the side of his helm and a few scratches that the seeker could tell was driving him nuts he was fine.
And they both had their sevos tied behind their backs with chains.
"Are you ok?" Knock Out asked the seeker he had woke up just a few minutes before Starscream had.
"Yeah a side from a slight helmache I'm fine." Starscream replied. "But where are we?"
"I don't know." Knock Out answered.
And they neither one knew who brought them there. But they both decided they had to find a way to escape and get back to base. Because whatever their captor or captors were planning for them couldn't be good.
Then they heard barking and saw the Cyber-Dog was barking at them through a small hole trying to dig to them but unfortunately they couldn't make the hole any bigger.
Then Knock Out got an idea and told it to go get find help. The Cyber-Dog nodded as if it understood and ran off.
Both Knock Out and Starscream hoped it could get someone to come help them and soon not knowing when who brought them there might come back and what they might do to them.
