Pretty Poison

Chapter 9

Knock Out and Starscream looked out the door and were about to run to the neighbors for help. When they saw Road Siren coming.

"Go back inside and hide I'll handle her!" Starscream told the Austin Martin.

"No she'll kill you!" Knock Out started to protest not wanting his friend to face her alone.

"Go!" The seeker told him again. And reluctantly Knock Out obeyed and went inside while trying to think of a way to help Starscream. Not really wanting to leave him.

Once Starscream was sure Knock Out was safe he fired his missiles at Road Siren but she managed to dodge them.

Then revealed that her scream was also a weapon when she hit the seeker with a super sonic blast.

Starscream was knocked to the ground but quickly got back on his feet only to feel a sharp pain in his midsection and looked down to see that Road Siren who was now next to him had stabbed him.

Then before the seeker could react she suddenly scream right into his audio receptors. Starscream's optics rolled to the back of his helm as he fell to the ground like a stone.

"NOOO!!!!" Knock Out screamed upon seeing his best friend fall to the ground as if he were dead.

But he quickly saw his error in crying out he had just revealed his location to Road Siren. And he was still in no shape to fight.

Knock Out quickly slammed the door shut and ran to hide with coolant tears of grief poring down his faceplates.

His plan was to run out the back but Road Siren caught up to him and manage to rip his saw off before he could use it.

But luckily Knock Out activated his headlights shining them right in her face which blinded her long enough for him to run upstairs where he had left his energon prob.

But Road Siren recovered quickly and went after him.

"Knock Out don't run up there the party's down here!" She mocked having now completely lost it.

Knock Out was scrambling to get his prob knowing it would be his best weapon against her. He was currently panicking and tripping over himself not being able to think clearly after losing another friend and not having fully recovered yet.

Meanwhile Road Siren was now making her way up the stairs looking for the red medic.

"Knock Out come out come out wherever you are!" She chimed.

While poor Knock Out was now stuck in the guest room having had to duck in there when he saw her ascending the stairs. She was currently in the hallway that separated his room from the guest room and he needed to get to his room to get his prob.

And to make the situation even scarier the power had gone out because when Starscream had tried to shoot Road Siren with his missile and missed he had ended up shooting out the power.

This was actually working both for and against Knock Out. Because on the one hand he was having trouble seeing and finding his way around in the dark but on the other hand so was Road Siren.

Knock Out thought about using his headlights as a light source to see by but he quickly decided against it knowing it would reveal his location.

"Knock Out are you hiding in here?!" Road Siren continued to yell in a mocking tone. That femme was beyond insane.

Knock Out saw her headlights pass by and took the opportunity to try to dart across to his room when he didn't see them anymore. Only to suddenly get jumped by her.

Road Siren had shut her lights off and waiting setting a trap for him. That he had just fallen into.

Knock Out and Road Siren were now struggling on the floor. Knock Out was still recovering and Road Siren was taking advantage of this but hitting him in places where he was still healing.

Road Siren tried using her frequency on Knock Out again to torture him but was surprised to see that it wasn't affecting him. And suddenly Knock Out shined his headlights in her face making it impossible for her to see in the dark having screwed up her night vision.

"Not fun being blind is it?" Knock Out hissed at her. But then she got a lucky hit and managed to stab him in the shoulder.

"Why did my frequency not work?!!" She roared. But Knock Out didn't respond.

"ANSWER ME!!!!" She screeched shattering most of the glass in Knock Out's home before she started hitting Knock Out in the faceplates.

Knock Out had actually shut off his audio receptors while he was hiding from her to protect himself from her sound based abilities.

But now she was just beating the scrap out of him. And forcefully kissed him on the moth before he kicked her away only to be punched to the floor when she jumped back to her feet.

Knock Out had really taken a beating at this point and was trying his best to fight back but didn't know how much more of this he could handle.

When Road Siren suddenly looked to where the stairs were as if she heard someone coming and Knock Out glance there in time to see Arcee appear at the top of the staircase.

She and the other Autobots had come to check on him and Starscream after hearing Road Siren had been spotted in the area.

Knock Out took advantage of Road Siren being distracted seeing that she was getting ready to attack Arcee thinking he wouldn't be a threat at the moment.

Knock Out quickly tossed himself at Road Siren while activating his drill and used it on her drilling right through her spark chamber before knocking her out the window.

Then he looked out and saw her body laying there her optics having just stopped glowing as her spark went out.

"That was for Starscream." Knock Out groaned as he walked towards the staircase only to slumped to the floor as his injuries cought up with him.

Upon seeing him collapse Arcee rushed over to him and kneeled beside him. He could see her mouth moving and knew she was saying something but he couldn't hear what since his audio receptors were still turned off.

Then he saw Ratchet rushing up the stairs before everything went dark.

To Be Continued.
