Chapter 1: Knock or Break

Knock Out walked in the silent desert. The wind blow strongly on his Cybertronian body. He walked without saying anything with his scarf flying in the air. His pede dig in the sand of the desert planet. The sound of his pede pierced the silence when he stepped on a harder ground.

"Well...Everyone hates me again...Even with my fabulous body." Said Knock Out alone. "Guess it is what a criminal is." He then chuckled. "I have a nice reputation."

He then went silent. He decided to recharge on the sand, near a hard rock. He walked near it and he sat on the rock. He took three H-pile. One of them was charged with energy while the others weren't. He took one revolver and he took the H-pile out of it. He then took the three in his servo and looked at it.

"What fate do you have in your servo Primus?" He asked.

He then threw the tree in the air and he started juggling with one servo. He continued for a while without saying or doing anything. He watched them carefully.

"5...4...3...2...1..."

When he reached Zero, the first H-pile that fell into his servo is putted in his revolver. He then putted it on his helm and pressed the switch.

*Click!*

...

...

"Looks like you want me to live more." Said Knock Out putting back his revolver in his pocket. He fired an empty one. He took the H-piles and he putted it back in his inventory. "Since it is your wish Primus...I'll stay online for another Vorn."

Knock Out then putted himself on the ground and he putted his helm on the rock and he then closed his optic.

"What's the point? I'm alone...Everyone's against me and want to offline me...Why?" He said.

He stayed that way for a while until he heard something.

"So...You drop your guard Knock Out." Said a voice.

He then heard a weapon charging and he opened his optics. He saw a Gatling gun pointing to his spark. He raised his optic and he looked at the one aiming at him.

He was a large Cybertronian with heavy plates covering his body. He wears a gray cloth covering most of his body except his arms. His cloth is partially transparent and this is why Knock Out cold sees his heavy plates. On his helm, he wears a brown fedora. He was blue except his orange face. One difference with him is that his optics is yellow instead or red or blue like most Cybertronian. His Gatling gun was big, but Knock Out saw on his back a hammer. He knew he was the heavy type and slow. Knock Out knew he had the average.

"Using a big gun over such a small, yet beautiful target." Commented Knock Out. "I'm surprise you were this quiet."

"...You were grumbling stuff. Anyway, I'm here for the price on your helm." Said the big Cybertronian.

"What is the name of the one who captured me?" Asked Knock Out.

"Breakdown. The best bounty hunter of this planet." He said. "So...Shall it be online...Or in piece?"

"...Try to get me." Teased Knock Out.

He suddenly spin on the ground and kicked the Gatling gun away from the servos of Breakdown. He stood up and he drew his revolver and he fired. Like the last heavy armored Cybertronian, his weapon bounced on his plates. He immediately withdrew his weapon and he picked the rifle on his back. Breakdown saw it coming and he gave a punch to the weapon. The rifle flied away out of Knock Out reach and he knew he couldn't run to take it.

"You want a servo fight you overgrown mech! You get one!" Shouted Knock Out. "AAHHHH!" He then punched the tank and a loud bang occurred.

A silent occurred. Breakdown smirked, he felt nothing.

"ARGH! MY SERVO!" Screamed Knock Out. He shook his servo painfully. The impact was hard on it.

His punch did absolutely no damage at all. He then saw Breakdown fist coming at his faceplate. Knock Out jumped to the left and he evaded that first punch. He then charged at the big one and he gave a kick to his chestplate. He didn't lose any second and he spin around the big mech and he attacked his back plate with a few kicks and punches. He knew it was useless and he dodged another attack.

"You sure are tougher than the others." Said Knock Out. "But you're too slow."

He looked at his servo.

"Scratch! You're going to pay for that." Grunted Knock Out. He drew his spear and spin it around him. "Ready?"

Breakdown drew his hammer.

"Ready to collect the bounty." Smiled Breakdown.

He charged at the red cybertronian who dodged the hammer by jumping to the left.

"...Slag! Can we do over and fight with fist?" Asked Knock Out.

"No going back Knock Out." Said Breakdown.

Knock Out knew he couldn't block his attack. He had to rely on his speed and his dodging.

He ran at Breakdown with his spear ready to fight. He dodged the hammer and he activated the Taser part of his spear. He hit the back of the blue one who shouted in pain. He then gave a kick at the knee joint of Breakdown and forced his to knee. He was about to attack again when Breakdown caught the spear.

"Nice try." Said Breakdown without emotion.

He then moved him in front of him and hit the chestplate of Knock Out with his knee. Knock Out flied in the air and landed on the sand. He grunted in pain and he tried to stand up. He then saw Breakdown in the air with his hammer.

"GUAW!" Shouted Knock Out before dodging it by spinning on the ground and dodging a fatal attack.

Knock Out stood up and he charged again. He moved his spear and hit the left shoulder plate of Breakdown and followed with a hit at his faceplate. Breakdown shook his helm in annoyance rather than pain. Some blue liquid felt out of his mouthplate, energon, but it was very light and not a fatal damage. It can be consider lower than minor.

Knock Out ran at his direction with his spear and he hit the helm again. He was about to attack again when he saw the fist of the blue mech when it hit his faceplate. Knock Out backed a few steps and he was disoriented by the impact. He then felt on the ground.

"Carrier...I don't want that." Said Knock Out.

Breakdown looked at him and the next second. Knock Out regained all his processor and looked at Breakdown. Knock Out hit him at his pelvis plate.

"ARGH!" Screamed Breakdown. The inside of the plate felt it. Breakdown putted his servo there and felt on the ground.

"Sorry for fighting dirty, but I can't do anything else." Said Knock Out.

He turned around to run away when he heard a blast by his side. Knock Out turned around and he saw Breakdown glaring at him. He was already up and with a sniper that was hidden in his cloth.

"I'm not the type who likes dirty fight Knock Out. Now...Servo in the air! I have enough of this fight. If you try anything, I won't hesitate to offline you! You worth the same thing anyway." Shouted Breakdown.

"Someone's annoyed." Said Knock Out raising his servos.

"Good. Now...Turned around and on your knee." Said Breakdown.

Knock Out did as he was told. He wondered if he should let Breakdown offline him and be done with all this.

"There's no chance you're going to let me get away?" Said Knock Out.

"Zero chance I'll do that. Now...Recharge well." Said Breakdown.

"Wai-" Knock Out was cut by a punch at his helm. It was a hard blow and Knock Out felt into stasis.

Breakdown took his restrain plates and putted them on the servos of Knock Out.

"You were wrong. I've capture you criminal. You will not endanger this planet anymore." Grunted Breakdown.

He checked in the pocket of his cloth and he drew a communicator.

"This is Breakdown reporting to the bounty hunter guilt." Said Breakdown.

"-Oh! Breakdown...So...You've capture the target?-" Asked a voice.

"Yes. Tell the one who sent those searching that I'll bring Knock Out to Rust town where he shall be judge by his crime. I'll be there personally so he won't escape." Said Breakdown.

"-...Why do you want to bring him there and watch the procedure?-" Asked the voice.

"I have my reason." Said Breakdown looking at the hologram.

"-Alright. I'll send them your report. You will take some time before reaching the town.-" Warned the voice.

"I know. He will not escape me...Breakdown out." He said cutting the message.

Breakdown took everything in the possession of Knock Out and he walked at the direction of Knock Out. He putted everything he had on him in the subspace like the rest.

"Well...Knock Out. I guess you are better with gun than fist fight." Said Breakdown.

He made him turn around and he saw his faceplate.

"You had a scratch." Said Breakdown.

He knew he couldn't heard him, but from what he saw in a short time. He will complain about it.

Far away from them, in a house

Someone was in the dark part of the house and he was alone, looking at the outside. He only saw the endless desert. He then received a communication signal and he activated it.

"What is it?" Asked the one alone.

"-I'm here to warn you that the criminal Knock Out has been arrested. You will have to prepare the payment.-" Said the voice of Breakdown contact of the bounty guilt.

"Good news. He will spot causing us trouble." Said the voice.

"-I'm glad to hear it. You better prepare your 1 million H-pile. You know very well that the guilt doesn't like someone who doesn't hold his word.-" Said the other one.

"Do not worry about it. So...Shall his helm bring to me?" Asked the one.

"-No. He shall be judge at Rust town for his crime.-" Said the contact of Breakdown.

"WHAT?!" He screamed when he heard the news. "HE HAS TO BE BROUGHT TO ME IF HE WAS STILL ONLINE!"

"-Sorry. But putting him in prison is a part of the bounty bargain when online.-" Said the contact. "-That is the rule. We cannot break it.-"

"You don't understand! Knock Out will escape his grasp no matter how good he is." Said the other one.

"-Sorry. But I have no power over the matters. That is all for now.-" Said the contact of Breakdown before cutting out.

A loud sound is made on the wall when the Cybertronian hit it with his servo putted into a fist.

"Slag! That was now what I expected." He grunted. He was furious by the news. After a while, he started laughing at the situation lightly. "I guess I can do something about it."

He took his communication device.

"-What is it?-" Asked the voice.

"Hello there Rock. I need you to accomplish a service." He said. "I need you to perform a trial at Rust town. I'll pay you a lot."

"-You...I'm listening.-" Said the voice.
