Transformers Prime One Shots

Joining the Team-Knockout

Sorry it's been so long guys, my last few weeks have summer have been chaotic and incredibly busy. School for me starts on Tuesday so I might not get many more updates in, but I'll try as much as I can. Thank you all for reading and your comments make my day! Again, sorry for the wait, but here you are, and enjoy! (You may want to review the Meeting Him-Knockout chapter for this one, it starts out kind of...sudden.)

Suddenly it seems you are almost floating as metal pieces fly and shift around you.

"Oh my god!" You scream.

"Ack, my audio receptors! Relax for Primus's sake!" Knockout shouts.

Panting and shocked, you find yourself in the passenger seat of the Aston Martin form of Knockout.

"Okay, next time warn me, alright? Now that I'm not about to suffer a heart attack, I have to add that that was freaking awesome. And what on earth are you that would allow you to transform like that?" You ask.

"You talk a lot, don't you?" He asks duly.

"Yes. Yes I do."

He huffs. "I'm not from earth, that's why I can transform. I'm a cybertronian, from the planet Cybertron. There was and is a civil war between Autobots and Decepticons, which I belong to the latter. We came here in search of energon, and with the Autobots here as well, the fighting has continued."

"So the Camaro, Bumblebee was it? He was an Autobot."

"Of course! I wouldn't be shooting at one of my own. Now anymore questions?" He asks exasperatedly.

"Nope!"

"Good, then let us be on our way." He said, tires screeching as he pulls out, speeding down the road like we were in the race again.

You can't help but grin as he goes even faster once reaching a long strip of road out in the desert. "This as fast as you can go Knockout?"

"Not even close." He says, slamming into a speed you hadn't thought possible for a car.

You laugh as the scenery blurs around you, and with every turn, you turn as well, your stomach doing summersaults.

"So, Y/N, how did you come to racing?" Knockout asks, actually sounding curious.

You grin, and look at the road ahead. "It started when I was really little. My parents took me to a race track where all the pros were. I stood right next to the gate and watched as the cars sped past me. It was the coolest thing I had ever seen. Since then, I'd always had an interest in cars, and racing. So, ever since then, I had been saving up for an awesome car of my own. Maybe not the most practical, but then again, it was going to be my job, so it was in another way. I've been racing for two years, this being my third. It's still the best choice I have ever made."

"Well, perhaps getting out of your car yourself was the best choice you ever made." He replies.

"No, that was probably the most important. Racing was still the best."

You smile when you hear him grumbling under his breath. After that, there wasn't much talking, and you turned your attention to the window. The town was far far behind, and now there was mostly desert or forest.

"Knockout, requesting a ground bridge below the Nemesis."

His sudden voice in the silence makes you jump and let out a startled squeak. Knockout laughs.

"What was that?"

You pout. "You scared me."

He keeps laughing and you feel your face start to heat up with embarrassment. This only makes him laugh harder.

"Blush anymore and you'll start to look like my paintjob."

You pout more and glare, trying to keep your face under control but to no avail.

"Shut up Knockout." You say when he continues to laugh, and gently kick the dashboard.

"Hey hey hey okay, okay I'll stop." He says, but you can hear the smile in his voice. He chuckles one last time before talking once more. "Although I'd love to be amused by your fright again, I'm going to let you know that I'm transforming."

You give a half smile. At least he's trying. "Alright, thanks."

The seat belt unbuckles itself and the entire car starts to move before you end up sitting in the giant hand of an even more giant robot. Or should you say Cybertronian. With one look around, you can't help but notice you're in the middle of nowhere.

"Uh, Knockout?" You say.

His black and red eyes turn down to you. "Yes?"

"What are we doing in the middle of nowhere? Is there supposed to be something here?"

He smirks. "Look up Y/N."

You do as he says and see a massive ship that must be the Nemesis.

"Woah..." Is all you manage to get out as you stare at it, before switching your attention to a blue green portal that suddenly appeared in front of you.

Knockout walks forward and you instinctively grab whatever's closest to you and brace yourself. It just so happens that the closest thing to you is Knockout's thumb... He looks down at you with an eyebrow raised.

"Heh, sorry." You say, releasing your tight grip before looking forward as the colors swirl around you.

You feel your eyes widen at the strangeness of it before you find yourself inside a hallway you are almost 100% sure is in the Nemesis.

"Oh god, that does not feel good." You say, clutching your stomach as a bout of nausea consumes you.

"Are you alright?" Knockout asks, looking at you concernedly.

The feeling passes and you nod. "Just a little queasy, but I'm fine, thanks."

He nods as he looks over you once more. Then he picks you up gently and brings you to your feet. You look at him questioningly.

"You're about to meet Megatron, so I wouldn't sit if I were you. Say nothing rude, better yet, nothing at all unless he asks you to."

You gulp and nod, nervously looking at the giant door and wondering what is inside. What you find, you most definitely did not expect. A giant Cybertronian easily twice the size of Knockout stands, eyes as red as blood. Knockout respectfully bows his head, but you wince as the mech's eyes dart to you.

"A human, Knockout?" The giant grey leader asks, his gaze traveling from your own.

"Yes, my liege. She saw my fight with the Autobot scout and tried to get away, but I thought she may have use to us."

Those eyes meet yours once more and they narrow, before a wicked grin spreads across his face, revealing teeth much too sharp for your liking.

"Well, then, human, what is your name?"

"Y/N, sir."

After hearing the title he seems to approve. "I am Lord Megatron, leader of the Decepticons. You will help Knockout with whatever is needed, but unless I specifically tell you otherwise, you are to do nothing else. Am I clear?"

"Yes my lord." You say, obedient and cautious.

"Good." He says, the smirk returning. "Then welcome to the Decepticons."
