Under Fire

Out With A Bang

Knock Out woke up a few hours later and realized he was in a cave chained to a berth.

Then he spotted his Sire standing there and something inside him snapped.

"Monster!" Knock Out screamed in anger as he struggled in the chains that were currently holding him wanting nothing more then to tair that mech apart. "You murderer!" "Your sick and twisted!"

"I think you need to relax." Said Knock Out's Sire. (Lockdown.)

"You killed my Carrier!" Knock Out practically sobbed as he continued to pull against his restraints. Then he tensed when he saw Lockdown fill a syringe and approach him. And his optics widened.

"Don't worry just something to calm you down." Lockdown told him mockingly.

"Nooo!" Knock Out yelled as he tried to pull away the best he could but unfortunately being chained down on a berth stopped him from struggling very much and Lockdown injected the circuit booster into his servo.

Knock Out tried to fight for a few more minutes before becoming still. Now all he could do was lay there and glare at Lockdown.

"I gave you a low enough dose to leave you conscious." Lockdown told the red medic who just continued to glar daggers at him. If looks could kill.

"You got your Carrier's color scheme and I see a lot of your Sire in you too." Lockdown told him.

"I'm nn-nothing like.. you." Knock Out choked now struggling to speck. "Did you ever love either of us?"

"I did love her at one time when I met her while I was traveling through space and stopped at Velocitron." Lockdown explained. "But she was already bonded to another so I killed him and made it look like a racing accident."

"Then I stayed on Velocitron to comfort your Carrier during her time of grief and in time we bonded but you can imagine my disgust when it turned out she had already been sparked by her former Conjunx and gave birth to a sparkling that looked just like him." Lockdown continued.

"So I tried to get rid of said sparkling but when I was about to go through with it my spark mate came home and saw me about to kill her beloved sparkling and she was going to leave me and take it to the hospital."

"Well if I couldn't have her I was going to make sure no one could so I shot her point blank in the spark chamber and I thought I'd kill her and the sparkling with one shot." Lockdown finished. "But here you are."

"You weren't even my real Sire to begin with." Knock Out said as coolant tears spilled from his optics. "You were his murder and if my Carrier had known there's no way she would have bonded with you!" "You psychopath!"

"You didn't just kill my Carrier you killed both my parents." Knock Out sobbed. "And why did you kill those other bots?" "And set up Megatron?"

"Because Megatron turned his back on the Decepticons and left us all to find for ourselves so making him take the blame is the perfect revenge." Lockdown answered his question.

Then Lockdown walked over to Knock Out and started beating him while he was chained up and sedated and couldn't fight back. As the poor red transformer cried out in pain.

Meanwhile back at base Ratchet had finished telling everyone what he and Knock Out had figured out about the killer.

Then gone back to the medbay to find it in a mess and there was no sign of Knock Out. And Ratchet knew something was wrong since there were signs that a struggle had taken place.

So everyone start looking around the base for Knock Out to make sure he was ok.

Starscream could tell Battlecry was worried because she and Knock Out had become close friends. He could tell that she and Knock Out liked each other and that she was afraid something had happened to him.
