Redemption

Rescue Mission

They got to the military base and were trying to think of a way to get in and get Starscream out.

They ended up having Pixel sneak in to the base control room and start messing with random stuff to keep everyone at the base busy so Knock Out was able to sneak in to get Starscream's jet mode. While Shayna and DeAnn stayed outside as look outs.

Knock Out carefully made his way to the hanger. And fortunately got there without incident.

"Starscream you sure know how to get yourself into some tight spots." Knock Out said to the seeker upon seeing his jet mode.

But the flyer didn't answer him. Which made him worry. So he ran a diagnostic scan on him and saw that Starscream had been injured and was unconscious. But was alive.

"Starscream you have to wake up!" Knock Out yelled in a scolding tone only loud enough for the seeker to hear him.

"Oh my poor helm." Starscream groaned as he came back online.

"How in the universe did you end up in a military base of all places?" The Austin Martin asked him.

"All I know is I crashed to Earth after I fell out of the ship I transformed planning to fly to safety but the heat of the planet's atmosphere made it impossible and I came too in my alt mode being brought here." Starscream explained.

"And I couldn't transform with all the humans in this place so I kept going in and out of consciousness." He added.

"I'll get you out of here Screamer but I need you to transform because I can't carry you but you can lean on me in your cybertronian mode." Knock Out told him.

"I don't know if I can but I'll try." Starscream said weakly.

Then he struggled to change into his bot mode while letting out grunts of pain. And finally managed to transform and fell to his knees and Knock Out could see coolant tears of agony in the seekers optics.

Starscream was covered in burns and had several dents and even a few cracks on his frame.

Knock Out quickly assisted the seeker to his peds and help him walk out of the base the way he had entered it. Pixel had turned off all the cameras so they didn't have to worry about being seen by one.

They managed to get outside the military base and into a forest that was far enough away from the base to not have to worry about being found and Knock Out called the girls and Pixel and told them where to find them and was relieved to hear that Pixel had also made it out safely.

Now he just had to wait for them to get there.

While they were waiting Knock Out started tending to Starscream's wounds.

The seeker had gone into recharge and Knock Out was glad because he had been in a lot of pain and the red medic was glad he was resting.

But then Knock Out heard someone coming and to his dismay Barricade emerged from behind the tree.

"I told you I'd be back trader." The Police car hissed.

"No not now!" Knock Out thought in a panic. "Can this please wait Starscream needs to have his injuries treated." He begged.

"Oh I have a quick fix for whatever ales him." Mocked Barricade as he walked over and started to rip open Starscream's spark chamber planning to kill the seeker then and there.

"No!" Knock Out yelled as he tackled Barricade trying to keep him away from the seeker.

But Barricade was beating the scrap out of the cherry colored medic. He now had Knock Out pinned to the ground and was about to finish him.

But suddenly Barricade was shot through the spark chamber and killed instantly. Knock Out looked over to see that Starscream had shot Barricade and saved his life.

But then the seeker fell to the ground unconscious because he was still injured. And Knock Out got to work trying to fix the damage as his medical training kicked in.

Just then Shayna and DeAnn got there with Pixel. And watched as Knock Out tended to the wounded seeker.

Luckily the damage wasn't life threatening but Starscream would have to take it easy for awhile.

After Knock Out treated his wounds he fix his own damage that he'd gotten fighting Barricade. And they decided to set up camp there for the night because it was out of the way enough for them to not have to worry about the bots being seen by humans.

Later that night Knock Out noticed Starscream trying to get up having regained consciousness.

"Lay back down your going to hurt yourself Starscream." Knock Out told him. "You need to give yourself time to heal."

"And you care why?" The seeker hissed. "Last time I checked you were an Autobot and I was a Decepticon!"

"You betray me and turned your back on the Decepticon cause." He added.

"I joined the Autobots because the longer I spent as a Decepticon the more I realized how wrong our side really was." Knock Out told him. "And you know you could have switched sides and changed for the better too."

"Oh could I?" "Because the last time I tried Arcee nearly killed me!" "I killed their friend remember!" Starscream shouted.

"The only reason you were accepted is because you never actually took a life you don't have any energon on your servos like I do!" The seeker continued.

"You were like a brother to me and you turned your back on me." He added.

"I did what I thought was right." Knock Out countered. "So since I betray you and you hate me then why did you save me when the ship was crashing back there and then again earlier when Barricade was about to finish me?"

"Because as angry at you as I am I don't want you dead." Starscream said letting his voice soften. "You were my only friend during the war."

"You were my friend too and still are." Knock Out told him. "So would you join the Autobots if I vouch for you?"

"I know there's good in you Starscream now how about you stop hiding it and start showing everyone that the past is over and that you've changed for the better?" He added.

"Ok." Starscream told him agreeing to help them. "I'm sorry about everything."

"Me too." Knock Out said as the two mechs made up. "And thanks for both saves by the way."

"Your welcome." The seeker replied. "And thanks for getting me out of that military base."

"Anytime." Knock Out told him.

Then since it was still the middle of the night they both decided to get some recharge and said goodnight to each other.

To Be Continued.

There was chapter two for you. Well actually three if you count the prologue. Hope this chapter turned out ok because I had a bad case of writers block and the dialog between Knock Out and Starscream at the end of this chapter was a nightmare to come up with. Hope you all enjoyed it. And I'll try to get the next part up soon. Feel free to send feedback.
