Trapped Together

Chapter 2

Optimus turned when he heard a cry, recognising it as Knockout. His optics widened in horror at what he was seeing. The mech that once was Skyquake stood before Knockout. The dark engeron corrupted his body just like the undead bots he fought before alongside Ratchet. Skyquake metal body was black and grey, traces of brunt marks along his body and the only thing that stood out was the purple optics. Soulless they were, with only madness remaining

Skyquake screamed at Knockout who was backing away in fear. Skyquake looked at the mech before him for a moment then attacked. He quickly moved forward to strike but Knockout dodged at the last second. He was scared yes but he had no desire to become scrap.

He had to act fast and kill this thing quickly! He brought out his staff. Charging forward he shoved it right inside Skyquake waist. The tip of the staff cutting him had hoped that would be enough to disable it but sadly that was not happening.

The undead warrior gave no sound of being in pain. He instead grabbed the staff hard. His optics glowed as he watched Knockout try to pull the staff out but he held it too tightly. He growled and just broke it in two surprising knockout.

Skyquake gave him no time to move. He grabbed him by the neck and lifted him off the ground. Knockout cried out, he tried to get out of his grip but it was no use. He felt the grip on him tighten crushing him.

"Knockout!" Optimus shouted as ran forward. He brought out his blades. The undead warrior seeing him coming, he threw knockout away. The medic hit the nearby wall hard and then collapsed to the ground.

Optimus rushed forward and sliced Skyquake's right arm off again no noise of pain came as his arm fell to the ground. Skyquake went to attack but Optimus dodged quickly and punched the undead warrior in the face and then stuck his blades inside his chest.

This time Skyquake cried out in pain, his optics glowed purple as he punched Optimus right in the face. The Autobot leader staggered back, his vision blurred for a second. Skyquake grabbed him by the arm digging his fingers into him. He then swung him around and threw him. Optimus was sent flying. He landed on the ground hard..

Knockout woke up now. He rubbed the back of his head, feeling it hurt. He went to stand up but then stopped when he saw Skyquake approach him. A voice in Knockout head shouted at him to move his aft but he couldn't his legs had failed. All he could do was watch as the undead Decepticon approached him. "BREAKDOWN!" He cried. Usually his friend was always around to help him, if he got in trouble but in his fear he had forgotten his friend wasn't there with him. No one was going to save him.

Optimus got up and saw that Knockout was about to be killed. He couldn't let that happen. They were both in this together. They only way to get out was to work together. He quickly ran straight towards the two Decepticons. Before Skyquake could strike Optimus had managed to grab Knockout and pull him out of harm's way. Skyquake screamed angered that his kill got away. He and turned to made his way to them. He may be slow but Optimus knew that he will be a deadly opponent.

Carrying Knockout in his arms and ran, allowing them to gain distant between them and Skyquake. He needed to get somewhere safe to decide on what there next course of action was. When he felt that they were safe enough he stopped and listened. He heard no movement they were safe for now.

Suddenly he felt something on his neck he looked to find that Knockout had his arms around him.

"Oh my hero" Knockout said as. He looked up giving him a smile. He did feel safe in the arms of the Prime. "So I guess this is the part where I thank the hero". He leaned forward to give him a kiss.

Optimus rolled his eyes and grunted annoyance. He just dropped him and the Decepticon landed on his aft. "Ouch was there any need for that, sweet rims!" Knockout said as he looked up at him.

"Quiet, Skyquake might be nearby". The Autobot leader looked once more for any sign of him.

"Or could be way behind us" Knockout said as he stood, brushing the dirt off him. "We are safe for now sweet rims…hmm I'm going to try and call Breakdown I might be able to reach him"

Optimus shook his head. "Remember the others couldn't hear us when we called to them. What makes you think the Decepticon can hear you?"

"Well its worth a try isn't it! Better than sitting around here doing nothing!" He turned away, using his com link. He called his friend but he wasn't getting anything but static. He hated to admit that the Autobot was right. He looked back to him. "Fine alright, they can't hear us. Now what do we do?"

"We have to find some way of letting the others know that we are here but more importantly we have to find some way to get out of this place"

Knockout stood with his hands on his hips. He looked around. "Well it can't be all that big let's just pick a direction and go".

Optimus agreed. "Alright but you walk in front"

The Decepticon medic looked at him. "And why is that"

"Why we both are trapped here. I have not forgotten you are a Decepticon knockout and would leap at the chance of destroying me"

Knockout just laughed a little and stepped towards him. He smiled as he touched Optimus arm. "Now why would I want to destroy a beauty like you". He then slipped his hands down and moves them along Optimus sexy hips.

Optimus optics widened again and pushed him back. "Will you stop it! Now go walk in front!"

Knockout laughed. "Hmm I know the real reason you want me to walk in front". He turns away from him now and walks forward. "If you wanted to check out my aft Prime all you had to do was ask". He smiles as he keeps walking

Optimus wanted to shout but decided to keep quite instead he didn't want to say anything that would encourage knockout to make more advances towards him. He did however ask Primus to give him strength. With Knockout with him, He was going to need all the help he can get.
