{TFP} How it all started...

Chapter One

 Chapter One

Another day day of driving your spark out across the smooth, metal roads of Cybertron. A red, slick Aston Martin DBS was driving around, making sharp, clean turns. It was a quiet road he drove on.

No one to contact with. No social life around him. Just the red sports car driving fast and feeling free. He kept driving across every road.

His home planet, Cybertron, was the best place for him to drive. He actually was okay being alone with no one to talk to, although, his intriguing features get the best of him. Knockout was the sports car's name. He'd always use his medical tools if anyone ruined his paint, or inform him he looks ridiculous.

***

Driving calmly along the quiet, peaceful roads, another vehicle was rolling across the metal ground. His bulky armor was quite impressive for keeping stood up on a battle field.

He was one who'd never give up, but sometimes his anger would blow through his mind, giving him a weak advantage and less knowledge when in a fight. He was much more into fighting than in racing or anything.

He was driving around, looking for combat, but no life of any Cybertronian was seen. Not even his tracking monitor would blink if a life form was standing. He was on his home planet with the biggest and violent war after all. Breakdown was his name, and no one would see him be the first to retreat from a rough fight.

***

The small, dim lights were still able to reach dark places as Knockout kept driving along the road happily. He was alone...for now. He kept driving along, minding his own business...until a large, massive shadow loomed over him. He stopped with his tires scraping along the ground, making a loud, painful screech! A loud THUD was heard as Knockout transformed, being cautious and afraid to turn around.

   "Autobot, or Decepticon?" a raspy voice asked, claws scraping the metal ground.

Knockout gulped, still being afraid to turn around or even answer.

   "I said Autobot, or Decepticon!" The mech was getting impatient as he scraped his claws deeper into the ground, a loud and painful screech trailing behind.

Knockout covered his audio receptors and fell to his knees, not being able to take it anymore. "D-Decepticon...!" He finally answered.

The screeching stopped. The mech slowly got up on his pedes, taking slow steps and putting a servo on Knockout's shoulder. 

   "Come along with me...you're now apart of the Decepticons..." The mech calmly spoke, letting his servo off and walking away.

Knockout began to slowly turn around and follow him, taking soft and quiet steps. His back wheels started to spin around slightly, indicating he was terrified by the big mech. 

   "I thought the Decepticons were no more after the violent war that occurred eons ago..." Knockout noted, slowly stepping beside the silver mech.

   "Ah, but you're mistaken, young mech." He walked up a slanted platform and entered inside a hallway, lights placed along the side of the walls. 

   "May I ask...who are you?" Knockout calmly asked.

The silver mech grinned darkly, slowly turning around to face Knockout. His ruby red optics gave a slight, deadly look. "I, young mech, am the warlord Megatron."

   "I see..."

   "And yours?"

   "Knockout..."

   "Hm, I see..." Megatron replied. "You must now call me Lord Megatron."

   "Wh-Why?" A confused look crossed Knockout's faceplate.

Megatron growled. "I now rule over the Decepticons now, you ignorant fool!"

Knockout let out a silent whimper as he stiffened up, bowing down respectively. "A-As you wish, my Lord...!" 

Megatron grinned and slowly walked off with Knockout kindly following.

   "Soundwave..." Megatron called out as he stepped into a control room. A visored mech slowly turned around, his tubed attachments attached to a control panel.

   "Is that Soundwave, my Liege?" Knockout pointed at the mech in question.

   "Indeed...I found him on the battle field and brought him here...he is our best hacker and a sneaky con..." 

   "What do you mean by our??" Knockout asked. Seeing a couple of Vehicons saunter in, Knockout made a blank face. "Oh..."

   "Soundwave...see any other life forms still standing?" Megatron questioned, looking over at the control panel.

Beep. Beep...Beep, beep, beep, beep.

A blinking light slowly faded upon the panel as the signal beeped faster, indicating that the blinking light was an alive Cybertronian.

   "Notify the life form's name, Soundwave." Megatron requested.

The visor on the mech's face loaded, soon a name appearing. Soundwave faced Megatron fully. The warlord let out a dark chuckle. 

   "Breakdown, I presume?"

I'm taking up Knock Out's name now as "Knockout." No more two separate words, just one, full name.
