Redemption

Prologue

Since he had switched sides after the war Knock Out had been trying to fit in with the Autobots. But this had been easier said then done since a lot of cybertronians couldn't let go of the past.

So when he received a mission from Ultra Magnus to transport a minicon who was carrying important data to the Autobot base on Earth he gladly accepted.

The minicon's name was Pixel and he was small even for a minicon and he could only communicate through beeps and boops. Knock Out was currently taking Pixel to the ship they'd be taking.

"Nice color choice." Knock Out said to the minicon noticing he was also red. And Pixel beeped happily at the compliment.

Before the two entered the ship and set a course for Earth. And Knock Out kept having to stop Pixel from playing with the buttons on the control panel.

"This is gonna be a long flight." Knock Out thought to himself.

Just then Knock Out felt something brush against the back of his helm. And turned around to see Starscream standing there with his missiles aimed him.

"Your taking me to Earth so I can get revenge on the Autobots." Starscream hissed at him. "And don't even think about calling for help or I'll blast you to bits."

"Oh scrap." Huffed Knock Out trying to think of a way out of this.

"Hey wait what that minicon doing?" Asked Starscream seeing that Pixel was looking at a button.

"No Pixel don't touch that!" Knock Out yelled. But too late the minicon pressed the button and activated the ship's hyperdrive.

"Oh scrap!" Starscream and Knock Out both shouted at once as ship suddenly shot through space.

"Are you happy now Starscream?" Knock Out deadpanned.

"How is this my fault the minicon hit the button?" Starscream defended himself as he and Knock Out were both forced to hold on to the seats as neither of them were buckled in.

"Because I could have been watching him if you hadn't come in here waving those missiles around." Knock Out scolded. "How did you even get on the ship anyway?"

"I snuck in last night when no one was here and hid in the storage closet." Starscream explained.

"Not good." He added seeing they were flying into an meteor shower.

Starscream quickly grabbed the steering wheel of the ship and started trying to navigate them through it.

While Knock Out grabbed Pixel to prevent the minicon from being injured during the wild ride they were now experiencing.

Pixel now had coolant tears of fear in his optics and a very freaked out look on his faceplates.

"Don't worry I won't let anything happen to you." Knock Out promised the frightened minicon. "Maybe this will teach you not to push random buttons." He thought.

Just then Starscream accidentally hit the ship's wing on one of the meteors causing it to break off.

"Smoove move." Knock Out told him.

The next thing they know the ship was hurling towards a planet but both mechs we're to worried about crashing to tell which one.

To spite their best efforts the ship entered the planet's atmosphere and if things weren't already bad enough the ship's door broke off.

Knock Out could feel himself about to fall out of the ship as he held on to Pixel trying to use his servos and body to as a shield planning to keep his promise not to let any harm come to the minicon.

When Starscream suddenly shoved him back into the ship but ended up falling out of it himself.

And the next thing Knock Out knew he blacked out from the intense heat of the ship crashing into the planet below.
_                                                        

Knock Out woke up awhile later and realized he was on Earth.

"Well we made it to Earth after all." Knock Out said before realizing he was alone.

He was worried about Pixel when he saw the minicon was nowhere insight.

But was relieved when he saw the minicon's footprints leading away from the crash site. The poor minicon must have been freaked out from the crash and ran off.

Knock Out got up to look for him but fell back down and saw that he had been injured in the crash but luckily not badly.

As a medic he could easily fix himself and the ship had luckily landed in the forrest and it was night so there were no humans around so he'd have time to repair himself then look for Pixel.

He got to work on fixing the damage he'd received in the crash. But suddenly thought of Starscream and how the seeker had perverted him from falling out of the ship only to do so in his place.

Sure it had been mostly the flyer's fault they'd crashed for trying to highjack the ship. But he had save the Austin Martin from falling to his death.

And Knock Out hope the seeker had survived and was ok. But right now he had to think about the mission and finding Pixel.

And Starscream had survived worse but still Knock Out couldn't get the seeker off his mind think of him possibly laying hurt somewhere or worse.

But he didn't know where to even start looking for the seeker.

Knock Out finished repairing his damage and went to look for Pixel knowing the minicon was somewhere nearby and the mission depended on the data he had.

And Knock Out wanted to make sure the minicon was ok and hadn't been hurt.

So Knock Out transformed to his vehicle mode and drove off in search of the minicon.

To Be Continued.

I hope you all liked this first chapter. It was a nightmare to come up with and write. I originally had an entirely different story planned for this but decided I liked this idea I got last night better. Feel free to send feedback.
