Redemption

Who Am I?

When Ratchet came out of the medbay everyone asked how Knock Out was doing. And were afraid of the answer when they saw a sad look in his optics.

"How is he?" Asked Starscream not really wanting to hear the answer. Because he could already tell from Ratchet's face it was a bad one.

"He's fine and awake but.." Ratchet didn't have time to finish before Starscream ran into the medbay.

"Wait Starscream there's something you should know." The medic yelled after the seeker but not in time for Starscream to hear him.

So Ratchet followed the former Decepticon second in command to the medbay where he walked to Knock Out's berth and the red transformer looked at both of them.

He was hooked up to an energon drip to give him back some of what he'd lost after being stabbed. And the damage on his back from the missiles had been repaired and was still healing but other then that he looked fine.

"I'm glad your ok Knock Out you had us all scared." Starscream told his best friend. "And don't worry about Galloway he was fired for hurting you so it won't happen again."

"Ok I guess that's good but who's Galloway and who are you?" Asked Knock Out.

Starscream optics widened in shock Knock Out didn't remember him.

"I tried to tell you Knock Out's system went into shock when I was working on him and I basically had to reboot his processor and I fear his memory banks were damaged." Ratchet explained.

"So he's lost his memory." Said Starscream trying to process what was going on. "Will he get it back?"

"I don't know he could get it back tomorrow or weeks or years from now or maybe never it's too soon to tell." Ratchet told him.

"He has to get his memory back." Thought Starscream. "He's one of the only friends I have."

Later after Knock Out was let off bed rest Starscream was talking to him outside the base.

"So Knock Out how much do you remember?" Starscream asked him.

"Well I remember I'm a medic from Valacitron and my name is Knock Out." He answered.

"What about the war?" Asked Starscream.

"What war there was a war?" Asked Knock Out. "But that's impossible we settle everything by racing on Valacitron why would we have reason to fight?"

"Not on Valacitron on Cybertron you were one of the Valacitronians who joined the Decepticons when we landed there following the Autobots to Earth." Starscream explained.

"Then after the war you switched sides and joined the Autobots and your the one who got me to join the Autobots just a few weeks ago." He continued.

"So this is Earth?" Knock Out said looking around. "Not a bad looking planet." Then he transformed.

"Wow what happened to my alt mode this one's new." Said Knock Out not remembering his Earth vehicle mode.

"Yeah we have to be robots in disguise here any humans outside of this base can't know about us." Starscream explained as Knock Out experimented with his vehicle mode.

First he honked his horn several times then played with his radio before driving some donuts and popping a few wheelies.

"This alt mode is awesome I love it." Chimed the Austin Martin as he changed back.

"Yeah I'm aware of that." Said Starscream not being able to hold back a small chuckle knowing how much Knock Out loved his vehicle mode. And watching him rediscover it.
