Betrayed

Chapter 8

The next day everyone started discussing a plan to stop Cyclonus and Scourge and clear themselves to the government.

Starscream who's voice was now back to normal much to his relief was chatting with Knock Out while they were scouting for energon.

When they suddenly heard something and suddenly Cyclonus and Scourge showed up and started attacking them.

"This is Knock Out we need back up and a ground bridge!" Knock Out said tapping his com-link only to receive nothing but static.

Starscream got the same result so the two of them knew they would have to fight their way out of this.

Unfortunately Scourge manga to stab Starscream in the midsection then slammed the seeker into some trees rendering him unconscious.

"Starscream!" Knock Out yelled see his friend hit the ground after being impaled.

Then before he could register what happened he felt something jabbed into his neckcables then turned to see Cyclonus holding a syringe he had just used to inject him with a circuit booster.

Knock Out glared at him then staggered for a minute before falling to the ground unconscious as the cybertronian narcotic took effect. And the last thing he knew before blacking out was Cyclonus starting to drag him somewhere.

"Knock Out!" "Knock Out please wake up!!" Cryed a familiar voice.

Upon hearing his name being called the Austin Martin slowly opened his optics. And saw Starscream was kneeing over him and they were in a cell.

"Starscream where are we?" Asked Knock Out feeling out of it but slowly coming back to himself.

"In a holding cell Cyclonus and Scourge attacked us, knocked us out and broght us here." The seeker explain. "You were unconscious when I came too and wouldn't wake up and I was worried you wouldn't make it."

"Don't worry they just used a circuit booster on me. I'm still a bit drowzee but I'll be ok they just gave me a really strong dose." Knock Out explained after running a quick diagnostic scan on himself.

"Good you had me worried." Starscream said to his best friend.

Then the seeker let out a cry of pain and put his servo over his midsection where he had been stabbed with Scourge's energon dagger.

"Your hurt." Knock Out said as his medical training kick in. And he got to work on fixing Starscream's injuries.

After running a diagnostic scan on Starscream Knock Out was relieved to see that the damage hadn't been serious and Starscream would be fine after taking it easy once he finished patching it.

"Thanks." The seeker told him once he was finished.

"Anytime." Knock Out smiled at his friend.

Just then they heard something and realized they could hear Cyclonus and Scourge talking through a crack in the wall. So listened in.

They heard them say they were planning to get the war between Cybertron and Earth started by attacking DC with their ship and hacking into the government's computers and lurching missiles to kill the Autobots in the scrapyard which they had somehow learned the location of.

That way when the US Capitol was destroy the humans would blame all cybertronians and once Optimus Prime and the Autobots were dead everyone on Cybertron would blame Earth.

And it would start a war and by the end of it the Decepticons would have their own planet because either the humans would be wiped out or the Autobots would. And any Decepticons lost in the crossfire would be worth it.

"We can't let that happen." Knock Out whispered to Starscream.

"We'll stop them if we can find a way out of this blasted cell." Starscream replied.

"If I use my drill or you blast the door down with your missiles they here it and your in no shape for a fight and I don't think I can take them both on my own." Knock Out said concerned for both their well being and the humans in DC as well as their friends at the scrapyard.

"They might not here this." Starscream told the red medic before using his claws to get the panel off the wall but hurting them and having to hold back a cry of pain. Knock Out wasted no time patching them after words.

Then the two of them took off down the hallway since Scourge and Cyclonus thought they were both lock up in the brig they didn't think the two of them would be a problem or evening bother to check on them.

They decide to try to find a comunacations conceal to call the scrapyard and warn them and try to sabotage the ship to stop it from attacking DC which would not only expose their secret but start a war between Cybertron and Earth who would think all cybertronians were evil.

Then they found a conceal and called the scrapyard and told the others what was going on. And Agent Fowler took the ground bridge to the military base to try to reason with them after Knock Out had managed to hack one of the ship's computers and send Raff a file with proof of what Scourge and Cyclonus had done to General Brice and that they had hacked the military's computers pretending to be him and Fowler was taking it to them to prove the Autobots were on humanity's side.

And the Autobots were getting ready to leave the scrapyard with their human friends to make sure they were safe.

Starscream and Knock Out also managed to deactivate the ship's cloaking system so the Autobots could come help them and their com-link would work.

Just then they heard pedsteps and turned to see Scourge and Cyclonus who had found them out.

Knock Out and Starscream both got their weapons ready knowing a fight was now unavoidable. And the two were ready to protect their friends and Earth or die trying.

To Be Continued.

Hope this chapter turned out OK. Sorry it took awhile it was hard to come up with. And only two chapters left the climax and the epilogue. I'll try to update everything soon. In the meantime feel free to send feedback.
