Thanks to Diana from Quotev for coming up with Knockout's nickname.

Normal POV

In the basement at the Amber Beach Museum, the scanners couldn't pick up the signal from Ivan's energem.

"It seems like those aliens who took Ivan must have some kind of jamming technology since I can't lock on to Ivan's energem signal," Kendall says.

"What about his dino com," Riley asks.

"Its signal is blocked as well," Kendall says.

"Do you think Bobby is having any luck in his end?" Tyler asks.

"I could call him," Ashley says.

I put the call on speakerphone after he picked up so the team could hear.

"Hello, how did you get my number?" Bobby says.

"Very funny, Bobby, It's Ashley. We agreed that Tracy is the comedian for our group." Ashley says.

"I don't know who this Tracy is. How do you know me, and how did you get my number?" Bobby says.

"Bobby, come on, we've known each other since Kindergarten,"

"The only friends are my teammates from Track and field," Bobby says as he hangs up.

"Okay, that was wired," Ashley says.

"Do you think those same aliens that kidnapped Ivan got Bobby too?" Chase asks.

"No way, I know that Orion wouldn't let that happen," Ashley says.

"Maybe we should call him and ask," Riley says.

"I can't. I don't have Orion's number," Ashley says.

On the Nemesis, Starscream and Bobby walk into the main room. Megatron turns around to face them.

"Starscream, what is that human doing here?" Megatron asks.

"Why didn't you take the orange energem away from him?" Fury adds, noticing the orange crystal in Bobby's hand.

"Simple, Fury, with a little motivation- also called the blood of Unicron, we have a power ranger on our side," Starscream says.

"You used Dark energon on the human?" Megatron asks.

"Yes, Lord Megatron, just a stun blast," Starscream replies.

"It seems like that blast was enough to brainwash him," Megatron smirks.

"Yes, but how long will it last?" Fury asks.

"As long as it is beneficial for us," Starscream replies.

"What is that thing on his wrist?" Megatron asks, seeing Tracy's friendship bracelet on Bobby's wrist.

"It's something I don't need, Lord Megatron. It was a friendship bracelet my ex-friend the yellow ranger made me," Bobby says, taking it off and throwing it on the ground.

"Stop, don't destroy it," Starscream says, quickly picking up the bracelet before Bobby can stomp his foot on it.

"Why not, master?" Bobby asks.

"I need it. This bobble broke the spell on you for a second. I'll use it to ensure you'll stay fighting on our side indefinitely," Starscream smirks.

Starscream orders a trooper to bring the vile of Dark energon Knockout processed from the medical bay. Starscream tears it from its hand when the trooper returns, opens the lid and drops the bracelet inside. The beads break when it lands on the bottom, they fix themself as the dark energon's properties aid the item. Starscream carefully pulks it out and hands the dark energon to Megatron.

"Starscream, even if you want to use Bobby as a minion. You overlooked a few things," Knockout says as he and Breakdown walk in.

"What might they be, Knockout?" Starscream replies.

"One, humans do need to eat," Knockout says.

Soundwave brings up a picture of the apartment complex he and Tracy live in.

"Yes, I'm aware that humans need food Knockout, but what does that building have to do with anything?" Starscream asks.

"He lives there and has to go to work at the museum in Amber Beach," Knockout says.

"Fine, I'll let him leave the ship, but he needs to wear this bobble," Starscream says, giving Bobby the friendship bracelet back.

"Yes, Starscream," Bobby says as he sakes off the leftover dark energon from the bracelet before putting it back on his wrist.

Meanwhile, with Tracy and Ivan, she had calmed down. The container Sledge had put the yellow energem in shatters, and the crystal floats over to Tracy.

"Ivan, what do we do now?" Tracy asks as she reluctantly lets her energem land on her left hand.

"I know you are concerned about our comrades' safety, but we don't know what the Decepticon plan to do while they have him under their control," Ivan replies.

"Should we tell the rest of team prime about our other identities?" Tracy asks.

"We have no choice. Keeping this a secret any longer could be doing the opposite than your original intentions," Ivan says.

"I know, and something else confused me," Tracy says.

"What's that?" Ivan asks.

"When I boded to the yellow energem, I saw a vision of two Dimorphodons," Tracy says.

"When Bulkhead, Bumblebee, or Whelljack get us out of here, Keeper can tell us why you saw two Dimorphodons in that vision," Ivan says.

"You won't have to wait for the Autobots to rescue you," Knockout says.

Ivan helps Tracy stand, and they turn to face the door.

"Why did Megatron tell you to shoot us out of an airlock?" Tracy asks in a jokingly manner.

"No, my dear, and this isn't a time for jokes." Knockout says.

"Sorry, I guess mom had a great sense of humor, but her timing still needs work," Tracy says.

Knockout turns on his holoform. It takes a taser he 'borrowed' from a police officer that pulled him over for speeding a few days ago. He turns it on, and the duo screams in pain before passing a few moments later. Knockout deactivates his holoform, picks up Tracy and Ivan, then tosses them into the air, transforming into his alt mode. Tracy and Ivan land on the backseat, then the Decepticon activates a ground bridge.

The Decepticon medic drives to the forest where he and Breakdown first found Tracy in her Autobot form. He transforms again to place Ivan and Tracy in front of a tree and sets the container of energon next to Ivan.

"What are you going to do next? Cover us in of bunch of dirt to make it look we got attacked when team Prime come to help us," Tracy groans as she wakes up.

"By the Allspark, my dear, I wasn't expecting you to recover so fast," Knockout says.

"The women in the Rameriz family are fast healers," Tracy says.

"Back away from them, Decepticon, wait, Knocky, what are doing fighting as a con," Snowdrift says.

"Knocky," Tracy snickers.

"Snowdrift, we can't be friends anymore, I'm afraid," Knockout says.

"Why not? You don't want to fight on their side, and I know you are a good Cybertronian deep down," Snowdrift says.

"How did you come to that conclusion," Knockout asks.

"You helped Tracy and Ivan escape the nemesis," Snowdrift says.

"Sort of, Snowdrift, shocking us with a taser and sneaking us out of the ship via a ground bridge, doesn't count as an escape," Tracy adds.

"Okay, but why did you help them," Snowdrift asks.

"I felt like we put Tracy through enough stress, and I didn't want to use the dark energon in her per Lord Megatron's orders," Knockout says.

"Why did Megatron what to use Dark Energon on Tracy?" Snowdrift asks.

"To brainwash me, but Starscream already used it on Bobby," Tracy says as tears build up in her eyes, "Now my best friend doesn't remember me, and it's my fault," Tracy continues as her voice begins to crack.

"Tracy, my dear, I'll do my best to break Stasrcream control over him," Knkcout says.

"If you are willing to help Tracy like that, does that mean you want to change sides?" Snowdrift says.

"Don't get your hopes up, Snowdrift. I feel bad for the human," Knockout says.

"That's just your conscience," Snowdrify says.

"Regardless, if I wanted to change sides, I'd have to convince Breakdown," Knockout says.

"What is in that container next to Ivan?" Snowdrift asks.

"It's a special energon formula for Tracy," Knockout says as he activates a ground bridge and runs into the portal.

Bulkhead's POV

I convinced Jackie to return to the base after telling him that Tracy needed to know what happened to Bobby. He had to be the one to do it since he was her guardian. Jackie hits the Autopilot on the Jackhammer. After we land, I help him to the medical bay while Bee takes the energon inside.

*We still need to rescue Ivan and Tracy,* Bee says.

"I know, Bee, but both scanners are fried," I say, handing them to Optimus.

"How can we find them now?" Ricky asks.

"You won't have to go on the nemesis," Snowdrift says.

"Why not,"

"Knockout snuck them out trough a ground bridge," Snowdrift says.

"Sis, did you get back what the cons took from you?" Ricky asks.

"Yes, but they stole something else from me," Ricky says.

"Wait, you found out that Starscream used Dark Energon on Bobby?"

"Yes, but how did you know that Bulk? Where is Wheeljack?" Tracy asks.

"We should talk about back at base," Snowdrift says.

"I'll open a bridge," Ratchet says.
