Betrayed

Chapter 9

Cyclonus and Scourge both lunged at Starscream and Knock Out but the two mechs managed to dodge their attackers and blot past them and were able to book it down the hallway.

Then they ducked into a room and managed to lose them for the moment. But heard them use the military computer they hacked to fire the missile at the scrapyard.

"I'm gonna go try to stop it." Starscream told Knock Out who nodded to his friend before the seeker blasted a hole in the side of the ship with his missiles then flew out at top speed to try to stop the one that had just been fired before it could destroy the scrapyard and possibly kill their friends since they did know if they had a chance to evacuate or not.

Scourge and Cyclonus saw Starscream fly out and took off after the seeker to try to stop him from saving the Autobots and not being a flyer Knock Out couldn't do anything to intervean. So decided to try to stop the ship from getting to DC.

Meanwhile Agent Fowler had shown the military the proof that they had been tricked and the Autobots were not their enemies and that was when the missile suddenly fired and none of them were able to stop it.

All of them felt bad and sorry about having been so quick to turn on the bots and had to at least try to make it up to them. So one of their pilots rush to one of the fighter jets and took off to try to help stop the missile.

"I hope she can make it in time." Said Agent Fowler as the young woman took off.

Meanwhile Knock Out had made it to the control room and didn't like what he found. The ship's controls had been locked so he couldn't override them.

And the ship had been set to go to DC and start firing once there.

Knock Out was now trying desperately to figure out a way to stop it. He called Ratchet on his com-link.

"Ratchet we have a situation." Knock Out said over his com-link. "Cyclonus and Scourge must have known we'd try to stop the ship."

Then the red medic explained what was going on. "And if I try to stear it somewhere else it just reroutes it's self." The red medic added in defeat."

"Hey wait maybe I can use my energon prob to blow out the power by using it on the main power core." Knock Out suggested finding his energon prob that Scourge and Cyclonus had put there when they captured him and Starscream and getting an idea. "That should stop it right?"

"Yes but it would also cause the ship to crash with you still inside it since we can't lock on your cornets and even if we could you'd never make it out in time." Ratchet told him over the com-link worry evident in his voice.

"We'll find another way." He added not wanting to sacrifice Knock Out.

"I don't think there is one we have to stop this ship there are millions of people in DC and there's no telling how many of them could die if this ship starts blasting all over the place no matter how you slice it one life isn't worth thousands." Knock Out told the other medic ready and completely willing to sacrifice himself to stop Scourge and Cyclonus from starting a war between Cybertron and Earth and save any humans who might be killed.

"Wait there might be another way." Said Raff. "What if we open a ground bridge where the ship is heading and send it somewhere where the crash won't be as dangerous like on something soft like sand, water or snow?"

"Good thinking then Knock Out would have a chance." Ratchet agreed. "What do you think?" He then asked Knock Out over the com-link.

"I'm willing to give it a go." Knock Out replied. "Given the alternative."
