Chapter 2 Help Me!
Knock Out woke up still strapped to the table. And still feeling sick from the cyber venom. He could tell the paralysis had worn off but he was restrained so there was still no way of escape. Even if he could move and get free he was having so much trouble focusing he wouldn't be able to find the way out. And didn't even know where he was being held.
And there was no telling how much info the Quintessons and the Counsel now had on the Autobots after poking around in his head. He had to find some way to warn them. Knock Out noticed he was alone he had to figure out some way to get free and find a way out of here to help his friends.
Then he realized Tarantulaus hadn't deactivated his weapons apparently he thought Knock Out would feel to sick to use them. This was his way out. Knock Out activated his saw. Then cried out in pain as he found out the hard way Tarantulaus had positioned him in a way that he couldn't use his saw to get free without hurting himself in the process.
But Knock Out did it anyway and got free then fell and was suddenly up close and personal with the floor. He felt pain in his side that he had been forced to saw into to get loose. And there was now a large amount of energon leaking from it.
He was now fighting back the urge to scream in agony. And his helm was spinning from the cyber venom. Knock Out struggled to his feet and then leaned against the wall for support. He saw upon making it to a hallway he was still in the Counsel building. Knock Out felt sick and in pain and was desperately trying not to collapse. Only to do just that when he got to the exit.
Another mech was coming. "Help me!" Knock Out managed to moan with pleading optics.
"Wow buddy what happened?" Asked the gray and brown mech with concern. "You look terrible."
"Please you have to!.." Knock Out was suddenly cut off by Tarantulaus using a sedation chip on him causing him to pass out.
"You saw nothing!" He hissed at the other transformer before dragging Knock Out back inside.
"OK I won't tell anyone just don't hurt me!" Said the mech before running off terrified by what he just witnessed. "Oh man why does this stuff happen to me?"
After he dragged Knock Out back to his lab Tarantulaus strapped him back to the table and put new restrains on him then deactivated his weapons so he wouldn't get loose again. And put webs over his wound but just to make sure he didn't bleed out because he wanted Knock Out alive because he was planning to use him for something.
Then suddenly Knock Out woke up with a start. "No!" He yelled after realizing he'd been recaptured. He kept repeating it with sad optics he had been so close to escaping only to be caught again.
"Someone's been a bad bot!" "Now I'll make sure you don't try to get away again!" Tarantulaus scream at Knock Out as he slapped the red mech several times in the face.
Then they heard someone outside in the hall of the counsel building Knock Out started to yell for help. But as if reading his thoughts and knowing what he was going to do Tarantulaus put webs over his mouth as a gag.
Then Tarantulaus went out to see who was in the hall. It was Strongarm and Bumblebee. Bumblebee and his team had just arrived on Cybertron the night before. "This area is restricted." Tarantulaus told them. "Can I help you with something?" He asked.
"Yes Cybertron Police we're looking for a missing bot." Said Strongarm. "Knock Out a medic who works here never returned to his home last night."
"Well that is unfortunate he never showed up to work today I do hope nothing's happened to him." Said a Quintesson who suddenly came over to them. "I actually remember him saying something about an emergency call from near the Sea of Rust you don't think he could have been in an accident do you?"
Then they heard what sounded like banging. It was actually Knock Out banging himself against the table trying to get them to find him. Tarantulaus quickly used his webs to pull a mech who was walking through the hall down and making him bang his helm on the floor. "By the Allspark he's fainted!" Yelled Tarantulaus.
Bumblebee and Strongarm ran over to the mech to see if he was ok. "Are OK?" They both asked at once.
"Waspinator walking and Waspinator fall down." Said the mech who happened to be Waspinator. "What is going on there's two of everyone."
"He's seeing double." Strongarm exclaimed.
"Yeah we better get him to Ratchet." Bumblebee told them. "We'll be back later." He said as he and Strongarm helped Waspinator out the door and left to take him to Ratchet.
As soon as they were gone Tarantulaus went back in his lab and hit Knock Out's wound making his optics widen in pain. Then he pulled the webs off his face.
"When we used the patch on you I saw something in your processor that interests me." Tarantulaus told Knock Out.
"Oh really?" Knock Out deadpanned to spite being in a world of pain and still feeling very ill.
"Yes I saw someone I know in your memories." Tarantulaus explained. "Now tell me what became of my sister Arachnid?"
"Your sister?" Knock Out said in shock. "She killed my best friend." "No wonder your so psychotic it must run in the family."
"What happened to her?" Asked Tarantulaus.
"I don't know or care." Groaned Knock Out. "I'm pretty sure she was infected with a terror can virus I help make which she deserved."
"How dare you!" Yelled Tarantulaus who now looked angry.
"Bite me!" Knock Out told him sarcastically.
"With pleasure I think it time for a stronger dose of cyber venom." Hissed Tarantulaus as he changed to his spider from and approached Knock Out who struggle against his restrains. But Tarantulaus used two of his legs to hold the Austen Martin still.
"Please don't do this!" Knock Out begged.
"I would say this won't hurt a bit Doctor but that would be lying." Tarantulaus told him mockingly.
Then Tarantulaus sunk his fangs into Knock Out's neck as the poor red transformer screamed in pain.
A few seconds later Tarantulaus pull his fangs out of Knock Out who could only stair up at him weakly as everything went dark and his frame went limp as he lost consciousness.
Meanwhile Arcee was at the Autobot base nervously waiting for someone to com. Everyone had became worried when Knock Out didn't return the night before. So everyone was out searching for the red medic but her because they needed someone to guard the base and be there in case Knock Out came back while they were looking for him.
Arcee had begged to be in the search party but she had been out voted. She felt bad that the last thing she said to Knock Out was that she didn't trust him and thought he might betray them. She wanted to apologize to him which was part of the reason she had been left at the base because they were afraid it would mess with her judgement.
Then the doorbell range and Arcee went to answer it. When she opened the door an unconscious Knock Out sightly fell forward he was being held upright by webs. And she could tell he was very sick and had been seriously hurt. "Knock Out!" She cried.
Then she look around to see if the one who did this to him was there but saw no one. They had just webbed Knock Out up there, range the doorbell and left him like that.
Arcee examined him to see how bad the damage was then Knock Out opened his optics for a minute and looked at her.
"Arcee I'm so sorry I didn't mean to.." Knock Out tried to choke something out but trailed off.
"What ever it is it can wait right now you need to save your energy." She told him with deep concern in her voice.
Knock Out started to say something else but his optics fell shut and he slumped forward having lost consciousness again.
"This is Arcee!" Arcee practically shouted in to her com-link. "Knock Out is here and he's in bad shape he needs medical attention now it serious!"
"Stay with him I'm on my way." Ratchet replied over the com-link.
"Please hurry!" Arcee told him then turned her attention back to the unconscious mech in front of her. "Hold on knock Out help is coming!" "Please hold on."
