Fallen Warrior

Devastation

Ratchet, Arcee, Megatron and Windblade had just gotten through the crowd they had walked into and realized Knock Out was no longer with them. Then deicide to backtrack to find the red medic.

Then Ratchet tried to call his com-link but wasn't getting an answer.

"Where do you think he could have gone?" Asked Windblade.

"I don't know." "Wherever he is he's not answering his com-link and I can't get a fix on his signal." Ratchet explained. "Something must be wrong I'll keep trying to contact him."

"Let's split up we'll cover more ground that way." Said Arcee.

Then they all scattered in search of the Austin Marten.

Meanwhile Knock Out was still laying in the alley and was painfully starting to regain consciousness. He open his optics and recalled what had just happened and tried to move but was in to much pain.

He was covered in dents and scratches and his entire frame hurt then he notice the wound on his shoulder from when one of the Constructicons shot him was leaking a large amount of energon.

"No no no!" Knock Out moaned in pain and was now frightened. "No please no this can't be happing!" He continued to groan in pain now panic stricken.

He knew he was going to die there if someone didn't find him soon. He couldn't get up and was losing energon fast and would bleed out if he didn't get help.

Then he heard his com-link beeping and answered it.

"Knock Out can you hear me?" Ratchet asked over the com-link.

"Ratchet!" Knock Out moaned over the com-link.

"Knock Out you sound horrible what happened?" Asked Ratchet now concerned noticing the distress in Knock Out's voice.

"The Constructicons attack me!" "One of them shot me!" Knock Out explained weakly and Ratchet could tell he was in shock and a large amount of pain.

"Knock Out try to calm down and tell me where you are so I can come help." Ratchet told him having already transformed to his ambulance mode.

"I'm in an alley somewhere..." Knock Out told him then trailed off.

"Knock Out are you OK?" Ratchet asked worried after the red mech went quite.

"I'm really tired and it hurts so bad." Knock Out moaned.

"You have to stay awake Knock Out you can't pass out OK." Ratchet told him. "I've got a fix on your signal and I'm on my way just hold on."

"OK I'll try please hurry." Knock Out almost whimpered.

Ratchet continued to talk to Knock Out trying to keep him calm and awake. But suddenly the cherry colored transformer went silent.

"Knock Out?" "Knock Out!" Ratchet yelled over the com-link but no answer. "Scrap!" He continued to drive to where Knock Out's signal was but it was getting faint.

Ratchet called the others and gave them the cornets. Then he reached the alley and found Knock Out who had gone unconscious having lost a huge amount of energon.

Ratchet saw how bad the damage was then got to work trying to save him hoping he hadn't found him to late. And was relieved to see he was still alive but just barley.

Then Arcee, Megatron, and Windblade arrived on the scene.

"Will he be OK?" Asked Windblade.

"I don't know yet he needs medical attention and fast we have to take him to the hospital." Ratchet explained as they rushed Knock Out to the nearest one and wasted no time getting there.
