Starscream continued to bang on while yelling for help, Just wanting out of that room, He hated being trapped in a closed space and was desperately trying to get the door to open.
"Help me!" Starscream shouted. "Someone please get me out of here!" But no one could hear him.
Starscream was now going crazy trying to figure out a way to get out of there, And started scratching at the door with his claws until he had to stop because they became damaged and his helm hurt from when it had been slammed against the wall.
Now feeling panicked and unable to think straight Starscream started slamming his full wait against the door just wanting it to open so he could get out of there.
The seeker was now crying coolant tears as he slumped to the floor and took the fetal position.
Meanwhile Windblade got worried when she saw that it was midnight and Starscream hadn't returned to his hotel room yet, So went back to the hospital to look for him.
And when she got there and told First Aid who was there with Megatron that she couldn't find Starscream and they both agree to help her look for him.
Megatron, Windblade and First Aid split up to look for the seeker worried about him since they knew Night Rain on the loose and out to get him.
Windblade also called Prowl to help them, who it turned out was still in the hospital, He was in the morge having Red Alert help him check out Pharma's body for clues to his death.
"I've learned something interesting most of Pharma's energon was drained from his body and what was left matches the energon used to write the threat on Starscream's wall." Prowl told Windblade when she called him.
"We have bigger problems Starscream is missing." Windblade explained, And upon hearing that Prowl rushed over to help them look for the seeker, Knowing he could be in danger.
Meanwhile Starscream was about to lose hope when he heard pedsteps.
"HELP ME!" Starscream cried at the top of his voice box. "PLEASE GET ME OUT OF HERE I'M TRAPPED!!!" He pleaded.
Then Starscream noticed the room he was in was used for warming up bots who's core temperature was too low and there was a panel that controled the temperature outside.
And then to the seeker's horror the bot outside went to the panel and turned it up to the highest setting, This bot wasn't going to save him they were trying to kill him.
"NO, PLEASE DON'T DO THIS!!!" Starscream begged still screaming as loud as he could hoping someone else might hear him.
He couldn't already feel himself started to overheat and if he stayed here too long it could cause his system to overheat and do him serious damage or even melt him.
The bot was still at the panel and seemed to be mocking him by acting like they were going to turn the heat down only to leave it at max.
Just then Megatron rushed over and yanked the bot away from the panel and started beating the scrap out of him.
Starscream could see them fighting but was starting to feel lightheaded from the heat and knew he had to get out of there and decided to ram the door in one last attempt to get free.
He rushed at the door using all his strength only for the door to open and to slam into the wall on the other side of the hallway, Not knowing First Aid had just opened the door.
Windblade, and First Aid both rushed over to the seeker who looked up at them before passing out from being overheated and slamming against the wall hadn't help either.
They quickly got Starscream to a room where First Aid got a hose that he had Windblade use to cool the seeker down while he got to work treating his claws and helm, And fortunately Starscream was going to be fine.
And his temperature was now starting to return to normal and Starscream woke up with a start.
"Don't worry your safe now." Windblade told him, And the seeker seemed to relax a bit.
Prowl then informed them over the com-link the bot who attacked Starscream had escaped by flashing his headlights in Megatron's optics and this had distracted the former gladiator long enough for him to escape before Prowl could reach them.
But they were just glad to hear that Starscream was ok.
Just then Starscream's com-link went off and it was Ratchet on the other end.
"What is it?" Starscream asked upon answering.
"It's Knock Out everyone get down here right away." Ratchet answered.
Then everyone rush to Knock Out's room to see what was going on.
Starscream was the first one inside Knock Out's hospital room and saw Ratchet standing next to the berth, Then the others entered the room and what happened next made them all smile.
They all watched as a pair of bright ruby colored optics come online, Ratchet had called them because Knock Out was starting to wake up from his coma.
"Oh by the All Spark looks like I had quite the epic fail my poor finish." Knock Out said after waking up and looking around.
"Don't worry we can fix that when you recover, I'm just happy you alive." Ratchet told his son.
"Knock Out I'm so glad your ok." Starscream said to his best friend. "And I'm so sorry you got hurt."
"It's ok Screamer I've been in racing accidents before just not quite as bad as that one, But they happen all the time during races, It's not like someone tried to kill me or something." Knock Out told all of them.
Then noticed the way all of them were now starring at him.
"Wait you mean someone actually did try to kill me?" Knock Out said in shock. "WHY?!"
"I know I'm a medic and a lot of bots don't like to get injections but isn't that a little extreme?" He Added.
Then Starscream and Ratchet explained everything that had happened during the Speedia 500 and while he was in a coma, And he had a good laugh when Starscream told him about the situation with his hotel room and how Megatron had blasted the door down before he realized they were trying to get into the wrong room.
Then Knock Out explained that the last thing he remembered was suddenly feeling tired and struggling to stay awake in the middle of the race so he had tried to exit the track knowing it wasn't safe to race or drive that way, But some bots kept blocking the exit and forcing him to stay on the track, And his last memory was being flipped over.
"Wait that's not true." He quickly added, Then explained that he had regained consciousness just enough to hear what Ratchet said to him earlier that night, because that had actually helped him wake up.
Then Knock Out thanked both Starscream and Megatron for saving him during the Speedia 500, And Ratchet for keeping him online.
And Ratchet checked him over and happily reported that Knock Out would make a full recovery after a few days of bed rest, which everyone was glad to hear.
Then Prowl came in and told them what he told Windblade about Pharma's body having been drained of energon and his energon being used to write the threat on Starscream's wall.
And Pharma had apparently been killed by having his spark ripped right out of its chamber that looked like it had been opened without a struggle as if Pharma himself had opened it voluntarily, And a test showed that high grade had also been involved.
Which no one could come up with an answer for.
But they all agreed that after Starscream had been attacked in the hallway and nearly had his circuits burned out in the heat room, That the seeker shouldn't be left alone with Night Rain and whoever else was trying to get at him.
Then Megatron told Starscream that he and Prowl had looked at the security camera in the hallway where Starscream had been attacked and the bot who attacked him was the same bot who kept blocking Knock Out from leaving the race at the Speedia 500 and the one who had rammed Knock Out from the side then tired to ram him over the cliff.
Before green and black one with the spikes who had drugged Knock Out before the race was the one who had pulled his tires free and let him drop off the cliff, And the one who flipped him over by ramming him from behind.
"Well this proves that those bots must be working for Night Rain." Starscream told the others.
And they all agreed that that must be the case since one of them had also tried to kill Starscream and Night Rain had been at the Seedia 500.
Prowl agreed to keep working on the case, And Megatron announced that he would be checking into room 5 at the hotel so that if Starscream found himself in trouble he would have help on either side and all he would have to do is bang on the wall.
Then Starscream and the others said goodbye to Knock Out who they decided to let rest knowing he was probably still tired from his ordeal having just fought for his life.
And Ratchet stayed wanted to make sure that Night Rain or those other two bots didn't try anything while his son was recovering.
Starscream and Windblade both went back to their hotel rooms, After what happened to him earlier Starscream just wanted to rest, Almost getting kill has a way of wearing a bot out like that.
Meanwhile Megatron checked into room 5.
"Just don't blow up anymore door." The bot at the check in desk joked.
And Megatron promised he wouldn't, before going to his room.
To Be Continued.
Hope this chapter turned out ok, I'll try to get the next one up soon, In the meantime feel free to send feedback, And I know Night Rain hasn't shown up a lot in the story yet or spoken yet, But don't worry I'm building up to that.
