It was a normal day on the Nemesis, Starscream and Knock Out were chatting in the medbay, when they were given a mission to investigate a cave.
When they ground bridged into the cave they found a strange container.
"The Dark Beast Blood." Knock Out read the words on the container that had a black liquid inside.
"Well that doesn't sound creepy at all." Starscream deadpanned as he looked over the strange bottle that Knock Out had just handed him.
Then the two started to head back when Starscream tripped over a rock and hit the ground hard.
Knock Out rushed over to check on the seeker and was relieved to see he was OK, but the container had busted and the black stuff inside had spilled all over Starscream.
"Yuck!" The flyer groaned.
"Glad it didn't get on my finish." Knock Out thought to himself.
Then the two of them went back to the ship where Starscream went to the wash racks to get cleaned up, while Knock Out went to the medbay to continue some work he was doing after they had reported to Megatron and Knock Out had lied and said they didn't find anything in the cave not wanting Starscream to get a beat down for dropping the container and losing whatever was inside it.
After cleaning himself up Starscream went to the flight deck it was a pretty night with lots of stars and a full moon out.
The seeker smiled at how peaceful it was, But suddenly as if someone flipped a switch he started feeling frightened for no reason and started to go back inside only to suddenly feel dizzy and dropped to his knees.
Starscream suddenly felt like something else, something wild, something ferral and blood thirsty was inside him trying to take over.
The seeker rolled around on the ground for several minutes as his optics rolled to the back of his helm as he blacked out.
Meanwhile Knock Out was on his way to get some Energon when he heard something crash.
Knock Out went to where the sound was coming from and was terrified when he saw what looked like a predacon werewolf with wings sticking out of it's back and a big bushy tail and sharp looking fangs in it's mouth and claws that looked like knives.
Knock Out started to take off the other way but it had already spotted him and chased him down the hallway, until it cornered him in the medbay.
Knock Out closed his optics knowing this was the end, but instead of sharp claws or teeth ripping into him he felt something nuzzling against him.
Knock Out opened his optics and saw the predacon was panting, wagging it's tail and flapping it's wings in a playful manner.
Then much to his cringing it started licking him and jumping up and down while letting out barks and yips.
"It acts like a puppy." Knock Out said as he petted the predacon and found it's sweet spot making it grimus and thump it's leg on the floor.
"Now what kind of predacon are you and where did you come from." Thought Knock Out feeling more at ease since the predacon seemed harmless.
He decided to bring it to the medbay to find out what he was dealing with before telling anyone about it.
He took an Energon sample with which earned him a snarl until he gave it an energon treat which the predacon happily devoured.
And Knock Out was shocked to learn the predacon was Starscream after testing it's CNA.
"Oh scrap." Knock Out said to himself realizing what a mess this was, then got to work trying to find out every he could about The Dark Beast Blood knowing that had to be what caused this so got on the computer and started looking up every piece of information he could find on it.
The next morning Starscream change back to himself and woke up on the berth in the medbay.
"What happened?" He asked holding his helm.
"You turned into a predacon werewolf." Knock Out explained. "And your lucky I was able to take all this footage from the cameras before Soundwave checked them."
Then Knock Out should him all the footage and told him everything that had happened that night.
"So I'm going to turn into that thing every night?!" Starscream asked sounding terrified.
"Don't worry I'm already working on a way to fix you I just haven't found one yet, but I won't give up." Knock Out promised his friend.
"Thanks and we can't let Megatron find out about this or there's no telling what he'll do to me." Starscream added.
"Yeah and I found some information on what we're dealing with apparently The Dark Beast Blood makes anyone contaminated by it into a pet for Unicorn and it matures over time, and the more it matures the more evil it becomes." Knock Out explained.
"So my predacon form is going to get more and more dangerous?!" Starscream asked feeling less and less comfortable with his situation.
"Right now it's just a puppy but it's only a matter of time." Knock Out confessed, but promised to help Starscream find a way to get back to normal.
The next night was a bit more difficult because Starscream's predacon form decided to wonder the base and attacked some unlucky vehicon and got into a growling match with predaking, which scared Knock Out.
But then the red medic was shocked to see that predaking quickly backed down apparently he was afraid of Starscream's predacon form which was now coming out of it's puppy phase.
And at one point Knock Out had to jump in front of a window to prevent Megatron from seeing Starscream as a predacon on the flight deck, and then had to close a door where said predacon was eating something.
Megatron told Knock Out to take some time off thinking the medic was losing it since he was acting so jumpy.
The next day Starscream woke up as himself in the medbay again and noticed a worn out looking Knock Out.
"How bad was it?" The seeker asked afraid of the answer he was going to get.
"You ate five vehicons then fought predaking and won." Knock Out told him as he continued to try to find a way to get Starscream back to normal. "Then you stayed in recharge for most of the day."
Then Starscream noticed claw marks on Knock Out's shoulder.
"Did I do that?" He asked.
"Let's just say you got a bit aggressive when I tried to get you to come back to the medbay." Knock Out replied.
"Sorry." Starscream apologized while letting his wings drop then he made it up to Knock Out by helping him fix the damage.
Then Megatron called them both to join him in combat against the Autobots.
Unfortunately the battle lasted longer then expected and it was getting dark, Starscream noticed and started trying to leave but Arcee ended up blocking his path.
Then to Knock Out's horror Starscream changed into his predacon form right there in front of everyone.
And not knowing what was going on all of the Autobots and Decepticons started fighting him and being ripped to pieces by him one by one.
He tore Shockwave's head off, snapped Acree in half, crushed Lazerbeak and then stabbed him through Soundwave's spark chamber and continued to kill everyone who came near him, from either side.
Poor Knock Out could only watch the carnage in horror and when Starscream killed Megatron who was pleading for his life last and slowly toying with him first it felt oddly both satisfying and horrific.
Now Starscream and Knock Out were the only two left because Starscream's predacon form had wiped out both sides of the war.
And Knock Out could tell this wasn't Starscream anymore whatever had been left of the seeker in there was gone now and the predacon was all that remained.
The predacon that was now... RUNNING RIGHT TOWARDS HIM!!!!
"Ahhhh!" Knock Out screamed as he suddenly jerked himself awake and knocking some tools off a table that he had been napping by.
"Knock Out I needed that." Ratchet scolded him.
"Oh sorry I guess I fell asleep on the job and had a nightmare." Knock Out apologized remembering it had been his turn to clean the medbay.
Then he went to the main room and almost freaked out when he saw a wolf shadow but was relieved to see that it was only Steeljaw who had joined the Autobots like him and Starscream.
"So where's Starscream?" Asked Knock Out.
"He's right outside the door." Steeljaw told him.
Then Knock Out went to the door and started to panic when he heard barking and yipping.
"Oh no he's becoming a werewolf predacon for real!" Knock Out thought with wide optics.
Then he opened the door and was greeted with the sight of Starscream holding a red and blue bumble puppy that was doing the barking and yipping.
"This little one followed me back to base." Starscream explained. "Cute isn't he?"
"Yeah." Knock Out agreed relieved that his nightmare wasn't coming true.
Then they went inside to show the bumble puppy to the others.
The End.
Hope this Halloween special turned out ok, And I'd like to thank RainyMcClenahan from Wattpad for requesting it, Happy Halloween everyone have a great one.
