In Between S2-> S3(Megatron X OC X Optimus)

Darkmount, NV (2)

                I call Knockout to the throne room and he does as he is asked. "How may I serve you, Lord Megatron?" He asks, bowing before me. I order "Assemble a team and disembark for Cybertron immediatly. While hunting Autobots remains paramount, we must not squander the opportunity to recover any of the Iacon Relics that were left behind in the chaos. For all we know, Optimus Prime is out there, somewhere, planning to do the exact same thing." He stands and asks "Of course my liege, but shouldn't ShiverTooth come with? He's better at commanding than I sure am." I vent "My commander has not talked or even shown himself to me since we left Cybertron. He's in a bad mood. I would leave him be." The medic bows one more time before leaving.

Knockout's Perspective

              Once I got to Cybertron, I immediately commanded everyone to their positions. "Come on fellas! Put your backs into it!!" They uncover something and I walk over "The apex armor, our illustrious leader will be pleased..... Now, any sign of that phase shifter? I really liked the thing." I look back to the vehicons behind me as they step back in fear. One says "Sir!" He points forward and I look over to see something "By the allspark."

          The thing makes it's way over to me and transforms into bot mode. "Shockwave?" I ask, surprised. He eyes me. I was at a loss for words. "I—- um..... uh..... W-we haven't seen you in deca cycles!" He remarks "The journey was long. And your search party is small. May I ask what is you are looking for?" I state "O-oh nothing! Just some Iacon relics is all. But hey!! We found you, you big—-" he glares at me. I stopped before I said the nickname. I forgot he didn't take them easily.

             I call a bridge back to base and Megatron says to me "I find myself an urgent need of good news. So please, Knockout. Tell me you found some useful." I agree "Some-THINGS my liege. And.... Some-One!!" I stand aside and allow them to walk through. I waited and waited but nothing. I look to the bridge and nervously laugh "J-just... give him a moment." Still nothing.... "Any second now..." I whine, patting my feet on the floor nervously. The big lug still didn't walk through. My liege looks to me "You disgust me." He turns on his heel and begins walking out with the others. The bridge remained open. "W-WAIT!!! My liege!! I promise that I actually found someone—" the door shut on me and I growl.

             I walk through the portal once more to find Shockwave still standing there "Shockwave, what's the matter with you! Lord Megatron was waiting impatiently for your arrival!!!" He didn't answer me. I call out again "Shockwave!!!" He was looking somewhere else. I grunt and walk over, waving infront of his one huge eye. "D-hello? Cybertron command to Shockwave? Do you read me?" He didn't answer or flinch and just shoved me away, marking up my finish. "Hey!! Watch the paint!!!" He doesn't reply like the last few times and walks to the side of the omega lock where some green panel was sparking.

             I shrug "Hmmm. I don't remember the Omega Lock having any green pieces except for weathering." By himself, Shockwave threw parts around, moving them to find something. "Commander Shockwave, may I ask what it is you're looking for? Perhaps I could help?" He finally answers!!! "If you cared about others more than your finish, you'd already know." I growl "I do care more about others than myself!! I just prefer to stay clean and have a nice look."
