~Knocked-Out~

Sparkinice

Soundwave stared at the femme laying on the ground in horror,  flinching when a pool of energon gushed out her open mouth. He sent an urgent silent message to Megatron, then slid his servos under her, and attempted to pick her up. Being more useful behind the screen than in battle, and preferring long-distance weapons, he didn't have a lot of stored strength, and was unable to truly get a good grip on the femme. So, he layed her there, propped her head against the berth, walked to the comm screen on the wall, and called the lab. Shockwave's face appeared. 

"Soundwave, why do you bother me?" Soundwave displayed an exclamation mark on his visor, and played the recording of Darkshade's weak plead of help. 

"Is she...ok?" Soundwave shook his head slowly, and urgently. 

"Do you...require me to go to her?" He received a nod, then the screen shut off. At this moment, Megatron ran through the door, followed by 3 vehicons. 

"Where is she?" Soundwave pointed to the femme, with her faceplate stained with energon, and body limp as a rag doll.  Her color was fading. 

She was fading. 

"What happened?" Shockwave walked into the room, and started towards the femme. Soundwave walked over to a port on the wall, and connected a tentacle. 

"I do not know. I heard her scream, then she just...collapsed." A metallic monotone voice came out. Megatron turned to Shockwave, who was examining her. He turned and pointed at the Vehicons. 

You three, help me get her to the medical bay. She needs immediate life support, stat. He directed the clueless troopers in the proper way to carry her, then led them out the door, down the hall, and into the medical bay, with Soundwave and Megatron following close behind. Once Shockwave hooked her up, he led them out of the room. 

"Well?"

"She's critical, but stable for the moment. Unfortunatly, she is showing signs of a severe case of  Sparkinice."

"Ah..."

"The disease of the spark broken, it is said that that the sparks of those who experience a life-changing spark-break are poisoned. No one know how it happens, or how to prevent it. Both get it, one gets better, one gets worse." Ratchet explained after examining Knockout. "The spark-break Knockout just went through must have been worse than we thought. 

"Ratchet, will Knockout get better, or will the poison take over him?"

"For the moment, it is impossible to tell. We will not be bale to find out, until the third day. Then, if he wakes, he has the better side. If he does not...

"...we will need to reunite her with the Autobot, for her to live." Shockwave finished explaining. 

Megatron turned towards Soundwave. "Did you know about this?" Soundwave shook his head. 

"Well, then, I guess we'll all have to be patient and see whether luck is on our side..."

~~~

"...And pray to Primus that Knockout will be ok." Everyone held their helms low, even Starscream. Patience was going to be the one thing they did not have.

I am so sorry for the short chapters. 

I've been so busy.
