Enemy Among Us

Attacked

The next day Knock Out was still waiting for his audio receptors to heal. And was now up and around he was now perfectly fine other then his hearing.

But he didn't know that the mole was planning to attack him. Knock Out was currently just minding his own business reading a data pad and drinking a cube of energon.

He didn't here pedsteps at the door of the medbay. The mole knew Knock Out's audio receptors were damaged and was planning to take the opportunity to reduce the Autobot's numbers by one.

The mole stood at the door with a blaster in their servo ready to shoot the red medic.

Knock Out stood up still reading his data pad when it slipped out of his hand then he dropped his energon cube which spilled all over the floor.

"Oh scrap what a mess." Knock Out groaned as he bent down to clean it up.

Which had been a good thing because at that same time the mole had fired the blaster at him and only missed because he had picked that moment to bend over and the shot ending up going right over his helm and out the window.

Knock Out didn't even know he had just been shot at.

"You have got to be kidding me!" Hissed the mole. Who then went in to just kill Knock Out.

Knock Out didn't hear them coming until he felt them grabbed his shoulder and was now locked in a struggle with his attacker.

"Seriously first Getaway, Sental and Pharma try to kill me with that stupid machine and now this!" Knock Out thought. "Can't I get a break?"

Knock Out was desperately trying to fend off his attacker while they were beating him from behind so he couldn't see who it was.

The next thing Knock Out knew he was slammed into the wall hard and then slumped to the floor and opened his optics but unfortunately his vision was blurred and he still couldn't make out who his attacker was.

Then they heard pedsteps coming down the hallway someone was on their way to the medbay but before they got there the mole ran off leaving Knock Out laying on the floor deciding to let him live in favor of being caught.

Ratchet suddenly ran into the medbay and started tending to Knock Out after spotting him on the floor.

Optimus and Bumblebee also rushed in and upon hearing what had just happened ran out to try to catch the mole but unfortunately they had already gotten away.

Luckily Knock Out was fine other then having been banged around a bit and being a little shaken he was OK. And they were happy to see that his hearing had come back.

Just then Starscream bragged in with a mark on his wing and didn't look a bit happy. Turned out he'd been shot down by the blast that missed Knock Out when it went out the window he had been flying there.

"Ok who shot me down?" He growled. "One minute I'm flying in my jet mode and the next I'm crashing to the ground!"

"Yeah he landed right on top of my helm." Said Megatron who also walked in rubbing his head.

"The mole just attacked Knock Out." Bumblebee explained. Then they saw the broken window and figured out how Starscream had been shot down.

"So Megatron did you make a wish after you were hit by the falling Star? Knock Out joked.

Both Megatron and Starscream just rolled their optics and left the room not feeling amused. But Bumblebee let out a small chuckle and both Ratchet and Optimus smiled.

The next day they told the rest of the team what happened and to all be careful since the mole had attempted to kill Knock Out it ment none of them were safe.

And everyone was glad to hear that the red mech's audio receptors had healed. And now they were trying to figure out how to catch the mole.

Starscream was currently walking through the hallway just trying to find a way to pass the time because he felt bored.

When he heard a banging sound coming from somewhere. And went to investigate it.

He followed the sound to the basement and was surprised by what he came across. There tied up and gagged was Arcee.

"Arcee?" Starscream asked. "What are you doing here and who did this to you?"

Arcee just rolled her optics and Starscream followed her gaze to the piece of tarp that was tied over her mouth.

"Oh guess I should take that off so you can answer." Starscream said getting the hint. And was about to remove the gag and untie her.

When suddenly Arcee's optics widened and Starscream knew she was looking at something or someone behind him.

Starscream started to turn to see who or what was there when he was suddenly struck from behind. The seeker tried to pull himself up only to receive several more blows.

Starscream managed to turn over and was now on his back after having been knocked to the floor.

He was now covered in dents and leaking energon in places. But was trying to raise up. When he got a glimpse of his attacker.

He couldn't believe what he was seeing. Was he losing his mind or was he being beaten up by Arcee? But she was currently tied and right next to where he was fighting. This didn't make any since.

He managed to crawl back a little and now he saw them both at once. Two Arcee's one tied up and the other trying to scrap him.

Starscream was confused and didn't know what was going on. And was still trying to process what he was seeing.

"Well since you've seen my cover I can't let you live." Hissed the Arcee who had been beating him senseless.

Starscream continued to fight with her but she ended up slamming his helm into the wall then let the now badly injured seeker lay there.

The Arcee who was tied up was trying to get free wanting to fight the one who was now standing over Starscream. But the other Arcee walked over and punched her unconscious.

"Well that should shut you up for awhile." Growled the other Arcee. "Now to get rid of this seeker so he can't blow my cover."

Then she half dragged half carried Starscream out of the base.

Starscream open his optics a little while later and was too weak to move and felt pain through his whole body.

Arcee was now standing over Starscream and they were somewhere outside. Then Starscream saw a building a few feet away and knew they were in the ruins of Voss.

"I thought what better place to finish a seeker then what remains of the old seeker capital." She told him.

"I can't have you telling my secret so I have to make sure it dies with you." She added picking up a rock.

Then she started beating him with it. Starscream could feel himself fading from consciousness. Then she tossed the rock aside and pick up a blaster.

"Goodbye Starscream." She hissed as she aimed the blaster at his chestplates then pulled the trigger.

Booom!
