Bad chapter again...ugh.

BTW...I am in need of some Knockout quotes. I do use the occassional quote as a flashback but I'm running out of good ones and can't find a good website with them. That and I have no time to rewatch the every Knockout episode to search for quotes.

Kyle sat with arms crossed, practically glaring at the newcomer who stood across from him. This newcomer watched Kyle with less intensity. Kyle's patients were being tried at the rate these strange events were multiplying. He figured Sam was enough, but now, with a new player, the truth of this was becoming less unlikely and slightly more realistic or involved a conspiracy of some sort. The newcomer finally collapsed on the seat across from Kyle, addressing the matter they we ignoring.

"So," hummed the newcomer. "Your name is Kyle?"

"Yes," snapped Kyle, "and you are?"

"Humans call me Benny," offered the newcomer. "Names Breakdown though."

"So, Benny, why are you here?"

"I'm your assistant! You're partner," howled Benny, standing up. "I saved your life a few minutes ago!"

"You broke my property a few minutes. You are not my assistant, I have none. I have never met you in my life!" replied Kyle, standing up as well. "I don't care for this supposed conspiracy of alien life forms you or Sam keep resorting too! I don't want any part of it!"

Benny stood silently, eventually sitting back down. He gave a sigh, scratching the top of his head. Kyle sat down slowly, concerned by his sudden burning anger. Benny smiled, nodding though. He dug into his pocket, pulling out a little key chain and twirling it in his hand. Kyle watched it carefully. There was a little key attached to a ring. The only thing on the ring was a metallic hammer carefully crafted. It seemed familiar, but he refused to think much of it.

"You know what this is?" Benny offered, specifically pointing out the hammer and letting the key slide down with help from gravity.

"No," whispered Kyle, giving a shrug. "What is it?"

"I have had this since they found me. No matter how hard I try, I can't bring myself to get rid of it. Strange, huh?" Benny smirked. "Got anything like that?"

Kyle rolled his eyes, barely considering the thought. Benny nodded, shoving the key chain back into his pocket. He stood up again, looking around. He patted down his jacket, and offered a slightly bow.

"I'll be off, seeing as you don't want to hear me talk anymore," shrugged Benny. "I am going to keep an eye on you, especially if Sam is after you."

"Mind if I ask why you showed me your keys for no reason?" snapped Kyle.

"Because…" smirked Benny. "Every transformer has something on them that they can't let go. Their weapon. Mine is the hammer. Screamer's was his blaster. Everyone has one, even you; you just need to look for it. You got a key chain?"

Kyle sighed, digging into his pocket and pulling out his keys. They were only his house keys, since he didn't actually know how the drive. Attached at the bottom of the chain, was a small little spear like object in a strange purplish color. It always made him feel good, holding onto it or having it in his pocket. He smiled, holding it in his hand.

"Interesting," nodded Benny. "If Sam comes for you again, try focusing on that. It could just save your life."

Benny leapt through the windows he had entered, offering a small salute and then walked away, leaving Kyle sitting in his chair alone. He let out a sigh, looking around at his ruined office. After a few minutes of silence, he stood up and entered the secretary office where April sat shaking. He gave her a pat on the back, apologized for the mess, and decided to go home.

It wasn't much of a long walk back home, but somehow Kyle had gotten lost again. He found himself in a different part of town, one he rarely visited. Wondering about, he considered what Benny and Sam had said. What if this stuff was true? What if he was an alien disguised as a human? Kyle shook his head. What a stupid thought.

"Why deny what you know is true!?"

Kyle glanced to his right, staring at his reflection in the mirror. His reflection was slightly distorted and different from his actual appearance. The reflection displayed his hair spiked, jacket's collar up, and most importantly had his eyes glowing bright red. His reflection offered a smile.

"Come now, Kyle, you can't deny my existence any long. Breakdown and Starscream make a too convincing argument," The reflection spoke in a voice unnaturally his own.

"You do not exist," whispered Kyle, continuing forward. "You are not real!"

"I am real! I am you! I am Knockout!"

Kyle turned away from the window, crossing the street to avoid the reflection any longer. In his hastiness, Kyle turned into an alley. He stopped at the dead end, staring at the wall. He couldn't get the voice out of his head. It was his own voice. It was somehow haunting.

"Oh, Doctor!"

Kyle turned to face the familiar being. Sam stood once more, hands behind his back, and grin upon his face. Kyle sighed, offering a nod, and dug both hands into his pockets. He felt his key chain, and suddenly smiled. Something felt right.

"No Breakdown to help you now," cheered Sam, taking aim.

"Right," whispered Kyle, pulling out his key chain.

"Stay still this time."

Kyle heard the shot fired, but still he smiled. His hand tightened around the little spear on the chain the closer the shot came. Time seemed to slow down as Kyle dodged the shot, and crouched to the ground like something out of a film. Sam looked utterly shocked, mouth slightly ajar and eyes wide. Kyle winked, standing up. His key chain spear glowed with an unnatural light. It grew in size, until it was slightly taller than Kyle.

"Your…How did you activate your weapon?! You're supposed to have no memory!" howled Sam, backing up.

"I give Benny points on protection," smirked Kyle.

"Breakdown…" snarled Sam, taking aim once more. "I still have the upper hand! Any last words!"

"Two," shrugged Kyle. "Buff this!"

With that, Kyle took a lunge.
