~Knocked-Out~

Moonlight

The soft wind made the tall grass rustle, tickling the recharging femme. She stirred, and opened her optics. She sat up, rubbing her helm with a servo. Her other servo felt heavy, so she looked over, to see Knockout's servo in hers. She smiled, gently sliding her servo out of his, careful not to wake him. She carefully stood up, and started walking along the grass. It felt so good, the edges rubbing against her peds. The moonlight made the night clear, bright. The white flowers reflected the light beautifully, sending beams of light up in the air. As she walked along, she heard soft rustling behind her, and giggled. 

"Knockout, I know you're there." When no answer came, she turned around, and saw nothing. Suddenly, something wrapped around her arms and body, holding her tight. She screamed, before something else covered her mouth. 

"Huh?" Knockout at up quickly, and looked around him. Nightstreak wasn't there. He noticed a thrashing figure being dragged into a small forest. 

"Nightstreak!" He yelled, then started after it. He ran into the trees, after the trashing femme. Her eyes widened upon seeing him, and she cried out a muffled yell. The figure noticed him approaching, and paused. 

"Let her go!" Knockout yelled. The figure stared at her, then beeped a familiar beep. 

"Bumblebee?!" The figure stepped out into the moonlight, to reveal the scout's yellow finish. 

"Knockout!" Bee beeped. 

"Let her go, Bumblebee, she's a friend." Bee beeped apologetically, and released Nightstreak, who fell to the ground, then got up and ran to Knockout. 

"We've been looking for you!" Bee said. "I saw you fall into the river."

"You were there?" Knockout asked and Bee nodded. 

"We thought you were lost. How'd you end up here, and who is she?" 

"Both long stories." Bee sighed

"Well, it's great I found you. We can head on back to the base." 

"Knockout, you know this mech?" Nightstreak asked. 

"He's part of my team. Meet Bumblebee."

"Pleasure." She muttered, not daring to get near the mech. 

"Bumblebee, you don't think Optimus will mind if I bring an extra femme to base, do you?" Bumblebee shook his head, then commed Ratchet. 

"I found them. Send a bridge."

"Them?!" Ratchet's voice echoed through Bee's audio receptors, loud enough for Knockout to hear. A swirling green portal appeared in front of them, and Bumblee stepped through. 

~~~~

"Optimus! Bumblebee just called. He says he found Knockout and someone else." Everybody turned their heads towards Ratchet. Optimus nodded, and Ratchet activated the bridge. Bumblebee stepped in first, followed by Knockout, and an unknown femme. 

"Knockout!" Miko yelled, and Knockout shot her a smile, then turned to face the Prime. 

"Good to have you back, Knockout." He turned to the femme. "Welcome. What is your designation?"

Nightstreak looked down at the tiny prime with widened optics, but decided not to question it. 

"Thank you sir. I am Nightstreak, sir!" Optimus froze at the name, along with everyone else. Nightstreak? The femme who had disappeared eons ago without a trace? 

"How is this possible? You disappeared, eons ago!" Ratchet spat, and Knockout shot him a look. 

"Never mind that, you both must be hungwy and tired. Watchet, escort them to the medical bay, and give them pwoper tweatment. Explanations will come in the morning." Ratchet harrumphed, then walked down the hall. "Follow me. " 

Nightstreak gave Knockout a look, and he shrugged. 

"That's Ratchet for you."

Sorry it's so short.

I'll be back soon, don't worry.
