Fire Wing Rising

Help In The Wrong Place

Meanwhile the rest of the team got worried when it was morning and Starscream and Fire Wing still hadn't returned. And went out to look for them. They went to the last place their signals had shown up and saw that a struggle had taken place and were now worried about their friends.

"Oh no it looks like that psycho Rampage got them." Said Bumblebee noticing a small part of his armor plating on the ground.

"Then we have to save them." Knock Out exclaimed.

"I bet it was Steeljaw's plan Shockwave is working with the Cons and that Predicon is his handy work and we know Rampage is after Fire Wing I say we go after them." Wheeljack suggested.

"I think your right let's go kick some Decepticon tailpipe and get back our guys." Said Bulkhead as everyone took off to go after the Decepticons.

"No guys something seems off why send a lone Predicon to get Fire Wing when Steeljaw has a team he could send?" Bumblebee asked.

"I'm with Bumblebee on this I think we might be missing a piece of the puzzle." Said Knock Out.

"Agreed." Added Optimus Prime. Then the three mechs noticed everyone was already gone.

"Scrap." Huffed Knock Out then he noticed there was some kind of malfunction that was interfering with the com-links so they couldn't call them back. "Double scrap the com-links are offline."

"Shockwave must have done something to jam our com-links so Starscream and Fire Wing can't call for help." Bumblebee thought out loud.

"We must learn their location I fear whatever Shockwave plans to do with Fire Wing may put her very spark at risk." Optimus told them.

"But why take Starscream?" Asked Bumblebee.

"Bet he's using Screamer as a bargaining chip to keep Fire Wing under control those two have became close." Knock Out explained.

"That makes since." Said Bumblebee.

"We must save them and stop Shockwave no matter the costs." Optimus told them.

Meanwhile the others were fighting Steeljaw and his pack.

"Where are Starscream and Fire Wing?" Yelled Sideswipe.

"What are you guys talking about?" Asked a very confused Steeljaw. "We haven't seen Starscream since we helped stop New Mech from whiping us all out." "And we don't even know who Fire Wing is."

"Don't play dumb we know you helped Shockwave kidnap them!" Strongarm shouted at them.

"What now?" Asked Steeljaw still sounding surprised. "Shockwave left our team to do his own thing Six Shot is the only one who know where he is."

Just then Optimus, Bumblebee and Knock Out caught up to team in time to hear the last exchange.

"Where's Six Shot?" Asked Bumblebee.

"Right here." Said a voice from the shadows. Everyone turned to see Shockwave's bother approach them. "I'll tell you where my brother is and even use a new ground bridge prototype to send you there."

"So do you want something in return like your bother did when Starscream gave him part of his spark?" Asked Ratchet.

"Only for someone to test my new ground bridge this ground bridge can send you anywhere undetected but I'm yet to test it." Six Shot explained.

"So you need a test subject and what could happen to the one who goes through it if something goes wrong?" Asked Ratchet.

"Well let's see they could be bridged into the sun, explode, vanish into thin air and that's just naming a few thing that could happen to them." Was Six Shot's answer.

"No we want to save Starscream and Fire Wing but we won't in danger another member of the team to do it!" Ratchet yelled at him. "We'll come up with another way to find them."

Then the Autobots started discussing what to do and how to find Shockwave's lab. When Wheeljack interrupted and pointed out that Knock Out was talking to Six Shot and they saw that the two mech shook hands.

"Hey you don't think KO would be crazy enough to.." Sideswipe trailed off as he saw Six Shot open the ground bridge. "Yes he would!"

"No Knock Out don't!" Everyone screamed at once. But too late he already went through the ground bridge and it closed. "No!" They all yelled then looked at Six Shot like they all wanted to kill him.

"Don't worry guys I'm fine it worked." They heard Knock Out's voice say. "I'm in Shockwave lab in a closet."

"I rigged up a radio transmission so we can stay in contact with him so he can call us if he needs help." Six Shot told them.

"Knock Out if you survive this I'm going to kill you!" Screamed Ratchet. "Don't ever do anything like that again."

"Nice to know you care." Knock Out replied. "Oh and if I don't make it give Shayna my buffer."

"What would Shayna do with a buffer?" Asked Bumblebee.

Then Grimlock started to lose his balance and Bulkhead tried to catch him and ended up falling too and they accidentally smashed the radio console.

"Guys we needed that!" Ratchet yelled at them. They all got to work trying to fix the radio so they could know if Knock Out needed them so they could help him.

Just them the humans got there to help their cybertronian friends.

Shayna asked what happened and Bumblebee explained everything to her. "Oh and Knock Out said if he doesn't make it he wants you to have his buffer." He told her.

"What would I do with a buffer?" Shayna asked with a confused look.
_                                                          

Meanwhile Knock Out realized he'd lost radio contact. "Um guys is anyone there?" "Looks like I'm going solo on this." He thought. "I'm suddenly getting flashbacks from a particular mission regarding the retrieval of a Predicon bone when I was a Con where I also lost communication." "Now to find Starscream and Fire Wing."

To Be Continued.

Well that's all for this chapter I bet anyone who's seen TFP will know what mission Knock Out was talking about.
