Fire Wing Rising

Rampage

Knock Out continued to sneak around Shockwave's lab looking for Starscream and Fire Wing. He realized that they were on a ship around the size of the Nemesis no wonder they had trouble finding Shockwave's lab. Knock Out could tell the ship had a good cloaking device and of course it moved so it would be hard to locate from the ground.

Then he came to a door that he managed to get open and saw that the room on the other side was a holding cell. Then he noticed Fire Wing laying on the floor and hurried over to make sure she was OK.

"Fire Wing!" "Fire Wing can you hear me?" Knock Out asked as he tried to revive the unconscious Predicon femme. To his relief she came back online and as a medic he could tell the damage was minor and got to work fixing it.

"Knock Out how'd you get here?" Asked Fire Wing. "Oh no did they capture you too?"

"Don't worry I'm here on a rescue mission to bring you and Starscream back home." Knock Out explained. "Where is Screamer anyway?"

"Shockwave moved him to a different part of the ship." Fire Wing told him.

"Then our next line of duty is to find him." Said Knock Out as he finished patching up Fire Wing's injuries and they went to look for Starscream.

They were walking through the halls looking in each room. When suddenly upon opening one of the doors they were confronted by Rampage who had been standing on the other side waiting for them. And grabbed Knock Out by the neck as soon at the door opened.

"We saw your friend here free you and we're watching the two of you wonder our ship." "Did you really think the holding cell didn't have cameras?" Asked Rampage. "Now get back in your cage like a good little birdy or I rip his spark out!"

"I think not!" Yelled Knock Out as he used his drill on Rampage's side making the crab Predicon let go of him and giving himself and Fire Wing a chance to run. As sparks flew from Rampage's wound. But now Rampage was hot on their tail because the only thing Knock Out's drill really did was make him mad.

They ran out one of the doors that turned out to lead to the top of the ship and manage to lock the door behind them and hide behind a create of raw energon. but Rampage was trying to break through the door and they had to get back in to save Starscream. But this would give them a chance to think of a plan.

"Fire Wing when I was wondering through the halls in there before I found you I saw Shockwave's plans for making you and Rampage he used the part of Starscream's spark he had to make you but Rampage's was a duplicate he made." Knock Out told her. "And did you see those sparks come out of his wound?"

"Yeah that was strange." Fire Wing answered.

"I think Rampage's spark is unstable and a hit to his spark chamber should offline him." Knock Out explained.

Just then Rampage broke through the door and tackled Knock Out. who had grab a piece of the raw energon and stabbed Rampage in the spark with it. But instead of killing him it just stayed there sticking in his chest because it wasn't a direct hit. And now he was beating the scrap out of Knock Out. Then in their struggle they both went over the side of the ship and were falling from what would be a human's equivalent of a 12 story drop.

Fire Wing quickly transformed to her Phoenix mode and flew after them. She had to try to save Knock Out. But could already tell she wasn't going to reach them in time. And could only watch as they hit the ground hard. And to her horror Knock Out had taken the worst of it and now Rampage was about to finish him by slamming the poor now unconscious red medic into the ground.

"Leave him alone your fight is with me!" Yelled a now very angry Fire Wing who had transformed back to her bot mode.

"Very well I'll finish him after I take care of you." Said Rampage with an evil smirk on his face as he tossed Knock Out aside. Then the two Predicons started fighting each other.

It was hard to tell who had the upper hand because it was an even match as far as hand to hand combat went. Then Fire Wing changed to her Phoenix mode and went Super Nova again she remember when she had gone Super Nova the last time she had gained the upper hand until Shockwave had threatened Starscream. But now she could use it to beat Rampage.

Fire Wing went Super Nova for the second time and saw her flames change color to blue and white the first time she'd done this it had surprised her because it had been an accident in the heat of anger when she thought Rampage had killed Starscream. But now she was in complete control of it. And fired it right into Rampage's spark where it hit the energon crystal Knock Out had stabbed in to it that exploded destroying Rampage.

Fire Wing went over to where Knock Out was laying. He was covered in dents, cracks and scratches and leaking energon in several places. She noticed his optics come back online and he groaned as he painfully regained consciousness.

"Fire Wing what happened?" He asked her.

"You just took a beating from Rampage but now our regular com-links are working well at least till I go back to Shockwave's ship to get Starscream then mine will probably go back down." She told him.

"I'm coming too." Said Knock Out who tried to get up only to fallback down and cry out in pain.

"No your in no condition to do anything just stay here and call the others to get you to the medbay and tell them to came help me and Starscream." Fire Wing said to him.

"OK but you and Screamer be careful." Knock Out told her. "And good luck."

"Thanks." Said Fire Wing as she flew back to Shockwave's ship to find Starscream. Knock Out used his com-link to call the others and told them what happened.

"We'll bridge over and help Fire Wing as soon as we can get a lock on Shockwave's ship but that's going to take awhile." Ratchet told him over the com-link. "First we'll send Bulkhead to bring you back to base for treatment I'll have the medbay ready by the time you get here."

"Thanks." Knock Out told him before they cut off the transmission. He ran a diagnostic scan on himself and saw that his injuries as painful as they were weren't fatal they just hurt like crazy. And he'd be fine till the others got him to the medbay and Ratchet could fix him.

Then he look at how high the ship was and it dawned on him how big a fall he had just taken and a beating on top of that and from a Predicon no less. "Outch." He said looking up.

Then the ground bridge opened and Bulkhead came through and took him back to base where Ratchet got to work. "Don't ever do anything like that again." Ratchet scolded him.

"Don't worry I won't my poor finish is totaled." Complained Knock Out.

"I'm just glad it's your finish and not your spark." Huffed Ratchet. "I don't want to lose my medical assistant after we already came close to losing you once in the past couple of weeks."

"Don't worry I'm not becoming one with the allspark for a very long time." Knock Out told him. "But nice to know you all care." He added with a smile. Then Ratchet finish fixing his wounds and told him he was going to be fine but would probably be really sore for the next few days and to take it easy.

Now everyone was focused on getting the ground bridge ready to help Fire Wing and Starscream.
