At the hospital Ratchet was still working on the cure to save Starscream and Megatron when he noticed the sun coming up and was surprised Knock Out hadn't called or come back to the hospital to check on Starscream knowing how worried the red medic had been about his brother.

So asked Arcee to go check on him, The ground bridge was currently undergoing repairs after a vehicon had tried to use it only to have it malfunction and send him right back to the same place he was trying to leave, And it would take awhile to find and fix the issue.

"That's ok it'll be nice to just drive there and get my mind of things." Arcee told him also feeling worried about Starscream, She had hated the seeker for a long time after he killed Cliffjumper but she had forgiven him after realizing that's what Cliffjumper would have wanted and Starscream had saved Knock Out's life and help them stop Airachnid.

Arcee now considered the seeker a friend and hoped he would be ok, She also knew how worried Knock Out was about him and decided to stop at macadam's on the way and bring him some energon, Understanding what he was going through and wanting to help and be there for him anyway she could.

Ratchet watched her go as he continued to work on the antidote.

A few hours later Arcee arrived at Knock Out's place and dropped the energon upon seeing Knock Out's door was missing and knew something was wrong.

"No!" She cried as she rushed inside hoping she would find the red spots car alive and well, But instead was greeted with signs of a struggle she noticed the door that had broken after hitting the wall and webs that were on the floor and found the door from Knock Out's alt mode in the corner of the room as well as the now empty syringe that Poison Fang had used to drug the Aston Martin.

"Knock Out!" Arcee started shouting hoping her friend would answer, Knowing he was in trouble and cursing herself for not having gone to check on him sooner, She could have helped him fight and now there was no telling what Poison Fang had done with him.

So she quickly called Ratchet and told him what she had just found and that Knock Out was missing and had been kidnapped or worse what if Poison Fang had killed him? She didn't even want to think about that.

"Wait you found an empty syringe so if Poison Fang had wanted to kill Knock Out why would he inject him with something when he could already bite him to poison him? I'm guessing he must have given Knock Out something to sedate or immobilize him so he could take him somewhere." Ratchet said processing what Arcee had told him.

"But what does he want with Knock Out he didn't kidnap Starscream?" Arcee asked not being able to make since out of the situation.

Ratchet sent Bumblebee and Smokescreen to Knock Out's home to help Arcee figure out what happened and they showed up after what felt like forever to the two wheeler, And she gave the syringe to Red Alert who had shown up with them to examine and he wasted no time scanning it.

"It has traces of Syk." Red Alert told them.

"No that's a kind of circuit booster that's illegal even among Decepticons, I've dealt with it before on police cases, That could harm Knock Out depending on how much was used." Bumblebee explained.

"No we need to find him!" Arcee said feeling terrified for Knock Out. "There's no telling what that psychopath has done or is doing to him!"

"We should've had someone stay with him we knew that monster is out there on the loose and we left him alone!" Arcee finished, She was blaming herself for Knock Out being taken prisoner or worse. "I should have gone to check on him sooner."

"It's not your fault we've all been on edge after what Poison Fang did to Starscream and we all made the same mistake of not thinking he might go after Knock Out." Bumblebee tried to reassure her knowing how hard this was on her.
