Chapter 7.
Knock Out woke up strapped to a table. He was sore from the beating he took and he had a headache. And the straps were so tight they felt like they were cutting into him.
And his shirt had been removed and monitors hooked to him.
Then Commander Bishop walked in.
"So your awake." She said. "I was worried my men over did it." "We need you alive for the experaments we're going to do."
"Please don't do this I'm not cybertronian anymore so I have nothing to offer you and you have nothing to gain by doing this to me." Knock Out tried to reason.
"Oh on the contrary we want to see how you turned human so we can reverse it and turn our men cybertronian." Commander Bishop explained. "Then nothing will stop MECH."
"And you being the one we captured is just the icing on the cake because I can take revenge for what you did to my husband Silas one of my men who was spying on Unit E informed me." She added darkly.
"He was your husband?" Knock Out said in surprise.
"Yes and now your going to suffer for what happened to him." She hissed as she picked up a syringe that was on a table.
Then she roughly jabbed it into Knock Out's arm making him let out a small cry of pain. Then she yanked it back out having drawn some of his blood.
Then she handed the sample to one of the MECH Agents who took it back to be examined. Then she forced Knock Out to swallow some pills. Before leaving the room.
She went to the lab and spoke with some of the scientists who had just finished looking at some X-rays they took of Knock Out and they told her that all of them check out normal for a human.
He had a broken rib from when he was beaten but nothing cybertronian about his currently human body. Then the blood sample proved to be just as human as the rest of him.
"It's O positive." The man said.
"I don't care what bloody blood type he is!" Commander Bishop growled. "All these tests are turning out to be useless!"
"Wait our agent said it was a relic that changed them." One of the MECH soldier spoke up. "He told me on his last report."
"And you didn't decide to share this till now!" She hissed then slapped the man before leaving the laboratory.
Then went back to the room where Knock Out was still strapped down on the bed. He was awake but really out of it from being drugged. The pills weren't mint to knock him out Commander Bishop had forced them down him to keep him quite and manageable.
But to spite being weak and out of it and still really sore. Knock Out smiled upon hearing MECH hadn't gotten what they wanted.
"So I guess you grabbed me for nothing." Knock Out moaned feeling weak and a little sick with his ribs still hurting. But he saw the fact that MECH couldn't gain anything from him as a small victory over them.
"Actually you can still be of use to us." She said in a way that sent chills up his spine. Then she picked up a syringe and went to fill it with something.
"What is that?!" Knock Out whimpered now frightened. "What are you doing?!"
"I'm curious to see what would happen if energon was injected in to a human body?" She told him coldly.
"No please don't do this!" Knock Out almost sobbed.
"Relax I thought you transformers liked energon?" She mocked as she stabbed the needle into Knock Out's chest.
Knock Out felt pain surge through his body it felt like his vines were on fire as he started to convulse as his eyes kept rolling to the back of his head and he continued to shake for several minutes before finally going slack on the table but continued to trimble as his breathing became labored.
"I'll leave you to rest." Commander Bishop told him as she stroked his forehead before leaving the room.
A few hours later Knock Out woke up back in his cell after having passed out. He felt really sick and his body still burned and it hurt to breathe.
He tried to get off the bed since he wasn't strapped down anymore but had cuts where the straps had been. He ended up falling to the floor because his legs refused to stand.
None of his muscles wanted to work. He attempted to crawl but ended up just laying on the floor sick and in pain barely able to rase his head up.
Then he saw himself in a mirror that was across from him propped against the opposite wall.
He looked pale and weak and had dark circles under his eyes which look dull and tired and he was covered in bruises.
Upon seeing himself and just how frail and near death he looked combined with how sick and tired he felt Knock Out just broke down into a sob.
Then he stopped crying after a few minutes. And saw that a tray of food and a bottle of water was near the door of his cell he was starving having not eaten anything since before being captured.
But he was so sick he didn't think he'd be able to eat even if he could reach it because right now he could barely move.
He just laid there for several minutes before deciding to crawl over to it. It was more painful then he thought it be since not only was he very sick but his ribcage still hurt like he was fighting in the pits of Kaon. Every breath he took shot pain through his ribs.
Knock Out somehow managed to reach the tray knowing he had to try to force himself to eat something or he'd starve.
He started to eat an apple but noticed there was a small hole in the side of it. And knew something had been injected into it. Probably drugs or poison. "Oh a poison apple how original." He thought.
He tossed it aside knowing whatever it was laced with was something he didn't want in his body he was already sick and possibly dying because of the energon that had been shot into his system he didn't want anymore unwanted substances in him.
After seeing that he didn't trust any of the food which was just the apple and a sandwich.
Then he felt dizzy all of a sudden and almost passed out then ended up feeling even worse.
His whole body felt hot and he was now soaked in sweat, his head was spinning and throbbing while his vision was blurred and his ribs felt like they were on fire.
He grabbed the bottle of water since it was sealed he knew it hadn't been tampered with and he needed some relief from how hot his body felt.
He opened the bottle and chugged the whole thing no having realized just how thirsty he had been. But this turned out to be a huge mistake on his part.
He suddenly felt sicker and now felt hot and his body started to shake again. That's when he realized his error that water had been freezing cold and his body was overheated so by drinking it so fast he had thrown himself into shock.
Knock Out felt horrible he decided to just close his eyes and try to rest hopefully sleep might bring him some relief.
To Be Continued.
Another cliffhanger. The next chapter will be about Arcee and Megatron infiltrating the base. I'll try to get it up soon in the meantime feel free to rate and review.
