Gotta go fast

Chapter 15

His processor wouldn't quit it only thought of one thing. Like a headache it plagued him day and night no matter what he was doing. Any job or mission given to him by his master took twice as long now that his thoughts always drifted away. He longed to hear her soft, kind voice and see her wavy brown hair flow down her head. He loved the smile that formed on her lips every time her ocean gaze would meet his. Of course he missed her it had been so long, longer than he had previously been away from her and it hurt him. Even more so if he thought back to what had happened when he had spent a long time away from her and he didn't want a repeat of it. Even though he had scared the two humans last time he very much doubted that it was the last they see of them.

He had yearned to go to the surface and see her, spend time with her for over a week now, he had managed to keep up a little communication with her but was forced to do it infrequently so that he could work efficiently for the decepticons otherwise Megatron would have his spark. Knock Out's urges to get to her tipped off the scale a few days ago after learning about the last four relics, learning that not only could they restore their home but the warlords plan to conquer Earth as well. Since he had been told this information Luna's safety was his main concern. She would die along with everything else and he had to save her. Part of the medic wanted the autobots to succeed so that both worlds would be saved but if they did he feared that he would never see the brunette again.

Knock Out was currently scanning the four Omega keys in the decepticons possession now that Starscream had redeemed himself with the gladiator and presented them to his master, his task was to figure out how they worked to revive the planet but he was having little success with the seeker pacing behind him and his thoughts drifting away ever so often.

"Tick tock Knock Out tick tock. Megatrons expecting results and given what we've just witnessed I would say that we cannot afford to disappoint our master" the seeker was impatient as he was trying to get the medic to pick up the pace but he was only succeeding in aggravating the mech. "We?! Unless nagging counts I haven't seen you lift a finger" Knock Out picked one up to examine it closely.

"I am the one that brought him the keys, do I really need to prove myself further by deciphering how they operate too" Starscream bragged about his accomplishments but it only made the medic wonder why he did not succeed in mission that Megatron had set previously.

"Well perhaps if my research hadn't been side-lined by someone's cosmetic surgery I might be further along right now" the stilettoed mech huffed from the insults that were thrown at him.

"Oh just give it here" Starscream snatched the relic from Knock Out's grasp and began to roughly try to open it somehow, his arms shaking as he struggled. When that didn't work he resorted to hitting the key on the table to see if it would do anything but as expecting nothing happened. "O gee why didn't I think of that" Knock Out became increasingly frustrated with the seekers lack of thinking. His presence was worse but it he weren't there then Knock Out probably would have slacked from his work. Starscream angrily slashed the Omega key across the medics chassis leaving a long scratch mark. Knock Out gasped looking down at his finish that was now ruined and better yet after all that time it was still Luna's handy work but now it was gone. Energon was boiling between the two bots as he picked up another relic and tried to hit Starscream but it collided with the other key and they merged.

Both them were surprised by what had occurred as they were bickering. "Do you think?" Knock Out couldn't help but ask as they both picked up the last two and repeated the action after a small countdown to make sure they were in sync. What came from it astonished them as a map appeared of their home world of Cybertron above the keys. It span around to show a particular location on the planet was pinpointed. The seeker laughed at their find "...And that is why Dreadwing is pushing up lugnuts"
