TFP: shattered glass; Knockout in prime universe

Chapter 1

Shattered glass universe

'Knockout'
[Bumblebee]
*Comm.link*

  My name is Knockout, I'm the CMO of the Deceptabots. We live on earth, protecting the humans from prime and his crazy Autocons. Sadly, he destroyed it by destroying the ozone. I'm looking over the three charges we have. Jack Darby: a natural leader, he's Megatron's. Miko: couscous but is brave, she's always voicing her opinion, she's Starscream's. And there's Raphael: he's the kid genius, he's also my charge.

  Seeing that everything checks out, I dismiss them and I myself go to the rec. room. Walking in, I slump into a chair, a cold rag on my face. A hand goes to my shoulder, another to my other shoulder. Those hands begin to message my shoulders, I let out a sigh of relief as Breakdown works the tension out. He works along my back, several of the cables popping . 'Thanks Breaky.' I say, he nuzzles my cheek, I return the affection.

  The alarms go off, we jump up and head out. Going through the ground bridge, I'm immediately fighting Ratchet. He kicks my leg, the same one he almost took off last time. Crying out in pain, he suflexs me, slamming me down hard. I cough up energon, grab his helm and head butt hem. I kick hem away but bearly get to my legs when he's on me again. 'Soundwave, now.' I scream. Two bangs go off, both right at us.

  We are thrown by the blast, an electrical feeling washes over me as we land. I roll with it, back rolling and end on my feet. A gasp sounds but I just watch as Ratchet gets up. He looks at me then starts to laugh. "It seems that we've been brought to an alternate universe." He says. I say nothing, which just pisses hem off. With a roar, I have to flip sideways to dodge as he shoots past.

  He slams the brakes just in front of Optimus, turning to me. "How bout we give them a show." He says, lounging at me. I back flip, land and spin in midair, slamming my foot into his face.
'Try me asshole.' I say. Ratchet snarls, he lounges at me, I spin/flip, slamming my foot right on the base of his neck.

  I back flip all the way to where Megatron is. I've stunned Ratchet, he's going to be pissed when he wakes. Slowly he stands and I take the opportunity to strike. Charging forward, my doors parts as blades come out, I jump, intending the end Ratchet but the doctor of doom always has a trick up his sleeve. A trick that stabs into my right shoulder. The sword that Ratchet holds is deep in my shoulder, in fact, it's all the way through.

  He quickly brings it up, severing my arm off before he destroys it. Falling to my knees, I hold it as energon leaks out of it. Looking hem in the optics, Ratchet brings up the sword. Before he can swing it, I slam my other shoulder into his chest. With only one hand, I kick his leg out, slamming his head into a rock. I back off, holding my arm. Ratchet slowly gets back up, he throws a dagger. I roar in pain as it goes hilt deep into my right optic.

Ratchet surges at me. I roll, striking Ratchet in the neck. Ratchet slams his ped into my leg, I howl as the sound of metal creaking. Using said bad leg, I slam my foot into his helm.

With the sound of creaking metal, Ratchet finally falls. Staggering, I got into a stance. Ratchet only gives up when he's  dead. My door parts, arm blade coming out. And it's a good thing I stayed alert.

Ratchet spins around, sending a blast at the children. Jack goes to cover Raph and Miko, I charge. No one can get to them in time but me. Kneeling over them, I take the blow square in my back.

Ratchet let's out a dark laugh as the Autocon's call out the children's names. When the dust settles, I'm crouched over them. Standing, the Deceptabot's leave. Lifting the children in my hand, I stumble a little but stay up.

Bumblebee walks over, hands held out. I gently set the three in his hands when the injuries take effect. Smokescreen supports me as I fall back. Optimus calls for a bridge as I look at hem. His optics hold something I've only seen in Megatron.

Love, hope, and kindness.

He's nothing like Nemesis. He's loving. He's a true Prime. And I'll follow hem. Smokescreen helps me to the bridge, I'm limping heavily. Stumbling, Bulkhead takes my other side.

I nod, greatful and we enter the bridge.
