Transformers Prime: Human Decepticon

Chapter 11

(Midna)

I was in the medical room with Breakdown, who just started buffing Megatron. I was looking at the information about what happened and to see what I could learn. I also asked Breakdown questions about their biology that I didn't understand. He was willing to explain it to me. I was sitting off to the side of the room when Starscream came in.

"Ah, Breakdown, has there been any change in Megatron's condition?" Breakdown stopped buffing and looked at Starscream to tell his answer.

'No there hasn't since the last time you asked that question. Which was yesterday.' I thought bitterly.

"Hmm, only cosmetic."

"Well, I am sure that you and the good doctor have been doing everything in your power... Where is Knock Out?" The door opened, and Knock Out came in very annoyed.

"Can you believe what some skin job did to me?" Knock Out said point to his door wing.

"You have been street racing among the humans again, haven't you?" Starscream said erroedlaty.

Knock Out walked to Megatron's side that I was close on and turned to face him.

"I'm not only an automobile, I'm an automobile enthusiast." Knock Out said very cheery. "I do strive to run a tight ship, Knock Out. I would strongly suggest that you seek my permission next time you decide to disappear on one of your little... jaunts."

"No worries, Head Commandant." Knock Out said with little care.

"It is lord to you." Starscream corrected him.

"Only if Megatron takes a nosedive." Knock Out pointed towards Megatron. Starscream then got into his face very closely.

"The day our master emerges from stasis, I will graciously relinquish the title. But I believe that outcome is unlikely. Something to do with the quality of the medical care around here. So, continue buffing." Starscream turned around and started to walk out of the room, "We do want Megatron looking his best for the memorial."

Then he was gone. Breakdown went back to buffing, and I went back to my computer because Starscream didn't even notice me.

"Buff this." Knock Out stated.

I let out a snort from his voice and choice of words. Knock Out looked over to me and saw.

"Cheshire, what are you doing here?" Knock Out asked.

"Learning more about you. Is that such a bad thing?" Knock Out walked over and stuck his hand out. I climbed on, and he set me down on his left shoulder. I could see the scratch on his door wing more clearly now.

"I can fix that for you." I stated.

"Thanks Cheshire, now on to your lesson. What is on your computer?"

~~~

As time went on, Knock Out gave me a lesson and then left the room. I was on Breakdown shoulder at the time, and he was showing me how to fix an Energon vein. I didn't know he left until Starscream came into the room.

"Knock Out! Have either of you two seen him?!" Starscream yelled. We both looked at each other because we knew what he was doing, but we looked back up at him and shook our heads. Starscream growled in frustration and left. Breakdown went to the comms and called Knock Out. Since I was close by, I could hear Knock Out's voice.

"Knock Out, Starscream's been looking for you again. Where'd you go?"

"Out for a little dive. I just roll from town to town, sniffing around until... "There was a car honking, "... The next opportunity presents itself."

I sighed because he was going to race.

"You own big-time Knock Out if something happens. I can get little things from my Uncle before I have to pay big time for supplies."

Knock Out's comms went off, but I knew he heard what I said.

"I see this going downhill. Do you mind dropping me off at home, Breakdown?"He nodded his head and transformed into his car. He was an SUV body. I was in the passenger seat, and I was able to open a ground bridge out the limits of Cody and away from the main highway. He drove through, and I made the drive about 30 minutes from my house, but it was still a long drive.

Breakdown had just pulled up into my driveway when Knock Out called.

"Breakdown, you'll never guess what I'm packing... Bumblebee's human friend. And when the Autobot attempts to stage a rescue..."

"He has a breakdown." Breakdown said and started laughing.

I rolled my eyes and got out. I pulled my phone to see where Knock Out's location was, and he was in Jasper, Nevada. So I opened a ground bridge to Jasper, and he drove through. Then it closed. I yawned and went into my house, and went to bed.

'If something happens, it will have to be after school, Knock Out.'

~~~

I was right about what happened to Knock Out. In the morning, I was there was a message from him asking me to fix his door and paint job. During band, since it was a free day because half of the kids were gone with Jazz, I was able to see the aftermath of what happened. That was on the bridge. Starscream was at the main monitor, and two guards were on both sides. Knock Out and Breakdown was on the path halfway, and Starscream came up and started to give him an earful.

"Knock Out, was I not clear?! You have defied my orders yet again!" Starscream pointed at him, and Knock Out jumped. Knock Out placed his right hand on his chest and spoke.

"My mistake, Commander Starscream." Knock Out stepped back and place his arms to the side, and brought up the one missing the door on it, "But I've learned my lesson and paid the price." 

At this moment, Starscream was shaking with anger and went in to Knock Out face, yelling, "It is Lord! And you have paid when I say you have paid." Starscream fists opened up, and his very sharp finger came down to Knock Out's paint job.

"Do not worry. Your punishment shall be merely... cosmetic."

Knock Out started to back up and started to beg, "No, not the finish! Anything but the finish!"

Breakdown closed his eyes and started to twitch from the metal scraping, and I was doing the same. Knock Out screamed out no for his paint job. Once it was over and down, I was twitching from my head down to my toe to get it all out of me.

"Midna, you good?"

I looked up and saw it was my friend Kavan the Tube player. I nodded my head.

"I will randomly twitch, and I was watching something that made me even twitch more." I explained.

He nodded his head. I pulled out my phone to let Knock Out know that I could fix his finish and his door but that he owned me. He reposed quickly and said that he will be happy to serve me.
