The more time I spend with KnockOut the more I, for lack of better word, remember him helping me.

I am aware he's the medic, but I remember him doing more than that.

I also remember something about his partner.

Speaking of KnockOut's partner I'm not sure if he's simply afraid of me because of my rank or because he speaks with the vehicons..he gets kidnapped.

I'm unsure when exactly, but it's by an non official government group.

If I remember correctly..they take advantage of BreakDown's attention being on BulkHead..

Damned wreckers-Damned humans!

Now, what moves should I make to avoid that?

I would not send Knockout with him, he's literally our only fully qualified medic. I'd have to be an idiot to do that.

I could just fallow him, but that might make the human group target me..

Don't get me wrong, I would never pass up a chance to remove such pests from what humans call the living. I just..I don't really have any...Allies.

The autobots are not an option. Those glitched fraggers are not people I want to rely on.

Augh..I hate that I have the feeling they're my only option..I refuse to side with them!

I wouldn't be against manipulating them tho~

While searching the internet looking for any autobot images, we find that a human museum recently got their hands on an oddly familiar object.

It looks like something from Iacon.

SoundWave suggests we send BreakDown and KnockOur, I suppose I can agree to that, it's not really a mission I would think could get anyone killed.

plus

It'd be good for KnockOut to have something to do other than annoy SoundWave.

I'll wait at an energon mine.

Ugh..

It's really boring..anxiety inducing even, just waiting.

Knockout and BreakDown arrive, "We got what you wanted us to, so what is it?"

"I'll show you~" It wasn't a threat.

"Not on us right?" Of course not, that would be silly.

I gesture towards a cluster of energon, "I'll use it on energon, it would just be silly to waist a medic with it."

KnockOut appears unsure wether to take that as a compliment or not.

I know BulkHead is sneaking up on us while I use the harvester on the energon, I don't mind destroying this Harvester..

I hear a clang, my wings flick, KO and BreakDown go towards whatever made the sound.

I didn't even need to tell them to.

I hear BreakDown and Knockout get knocked out. I do see the irony in that sentence.

How did they get knocked out so easily? "Hand over the harvester!-"

Based off the expression on the wreckers face I can assume he's not seen my current model.

"uh..You look..a little different"

..Astute observation wrecker.

My wings slowly resume a less startled position, "I sure do, you wouldn't happen to be here for the harvester would you?~"

The wrecker is unsure how to respond to that

"..what?"

Without answering I smash the harvester, I'd prefer if Unicron puppeting Megatron did not have the harvester.

"WHY DID YOU DO THAT??"

The only response I give is a shrug, lucky me KO and BreakDown already left.

My next move is to fly away.

"You just destroyed it?!"

"I couldn't have the autobots take it now could I?~"

KnockOut puts his hands on his hips disapprovingly.

SoundWave already told me how little he approved of my decision.

Is it not better to remove it instead of let our enemies use it against us?

"What are you even doing here?"

...I-Rude.

..Checking on Megatron I suppose.

"How is Megatron doing as of late?" KnockOut blinks in surprise.

"He's..healing faster than most would after being blown up by a spacbridge.." Just as expected than.

Lamentably so.

My wings annoyingly express my disappointment.

I don't think any of our soldiers are informed in reading wing movements..

It's just body language but the vehicons are practically infants.

..Mentally.

"Are you sure you didn't come in here to sabotage his recovery?~"

Oh how I wish that would help, but if I do try that..again I'll be beat half to death, while I have been trying to assassinate dear old Megatron for millennia, I do not have a death wish.

...I'm sure many would disagree.

I can't help but sigh "If it were that easy I would have actually succeeded years ago.."

KnockOut supplies me with a mischievous grin, "You didn't have a partner those times~"

That isn't untrue.."Sadly I must deny your offer, dearest medic~"

I wonder if I should have him train some vehicons in case he gets captured or..snuffed out.

The medic seems entertainingly disappointed, from what I remember KnockOut and I got along quite well..before?

In the past?

at the moment?

I'm unsure how to phrase that..

"Dearest~? I didn't know you liked me that way~"

I'm reminded of my siblings..My wings reflect the sorrow felt in being reminded of them.

"..You alright commander? too personal a question?"

I find it amusing that he sounds worried, those autobots would never think we care.

Such a rude thing to say.

"I'm just..nostalgic" KnockOut has a look of sympathy.

My emotions swirl bitterly, I don't think I can handle losing anymore..allies.

Despairingly I must admit, Megatron will likely awaken today. His body is primarily reformed.

I can't help but tense at the thought.

Oh! I just remembered!

I head towards KnockOut's lab but I'm interupted..

..by KnockOut.

"Wh-StarScream? did you miss me that much?~"

He has scratches, he was racing humans..

I lean towards the medic "I wouldn't miss you if you hadn't been out racing humans"

KnockOut raises his hands in defeat, "I was only having some fun with the locals.."

An abysmal excuse to be around the inhabitants of this planet doing things that might get-

"KnockOut." I grab his shoulder.

Should I say this?

He might not believe me..

"The next time you go racing, look out for a certain yellow car"

Knockout expresses confusion."Why would an autobot be street racing?"

The yellow one really really likes being fast.

Car fast, I don't get it.

I lean back, putting wings in a casual position, why would an autobot be street racing?

If say a human were to report a red car with no driver, would the autobots not be there?

I make a whole show of expressing what a dumb question that is.

"Ooooh~ I wonder whyyy would an Autobot ever be street racing? Couldn't be because a certain Decepticon has already been spotted by the humans could iiiiit?~"

Sadly my performance goes unappreciated.

"I'm not that reckless, I can take care of one autbot"

Alone? I don't know about that.

The yellow one can be feral. I expect KnockOut could be just as, if not more, feral if he tried, buuut it'd be out of the norm.

"If they catch you, I won't be able to find you, remember? We can't find their base." ..I do remember it's coordinates.

KnockOut's pales"...somehow this feels threatening"

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!

My wings fling upwards, "I'm warning you! You daft cherry bomb!"

I drag my clawed hand down my face, must it be so difficult? KnockOut remains silent, wait..

Did I Call Him Cherry Bomb?

Frag.

While KnockOut is out getting into a fight with the autobots.

I do my best to focus on helping the vehicon's and reorganizing files, there isn't much I can do at the moment.

SoundWave and I converse on what the Decepticons will do if Megatron dies, we both agree it would be in our best interest to go back to cybertron and make the government less prejudice.

It's what the Decepticons have always been about.

I was just about to message KnockOut when I hear quick metal footsteps-I'm abruptly grabbed

A yelp escapes me.

"How did you know?!"

Know what?

wait-

"I made an informed guess" I shrug, my wings losing the tense position they had acquired.

If KnockOut noticed the yelp he doesn't care, probably too focused on my advice being right.

"The humans were bound to notice you, it was a guess."

Saying that last part twice doesn't help the look of disbelief KnockOut is giving me.

Scrap.
