At the hospital Ratchet was still working on the cure to save Starscream and Megatron when he noticed the sun coming up and was surprised Knock Out hadn't called or come back to the hospital to check on Starscream knowing how worried the red medic had been about his brother.

So asked Arcee to go check on him, The ground bridge was currently undergoing repairs after a vehicon had tried to use it only to have it malfunction and send him right back to the same place he was trying to leave, And it would take awhile to find and fix the issue.

"That's ok it'll be nice to just drive there and get my mind of things." Arcee told him also feeling worried about Starscream, She had hated the seeker for a long time after he killed Cliffjumper but she had forgiven him after realizing that's what Cliffjumper would have wanted and Starscream had saved Knock Out's life and help them stop Airachnid.

Arcee now considered the seeker a friend and hoped he would be ok, She also knew how worried Knock Out was about him and decided to stop at macadam's on the way and bring him some energon, Understanding what he was going through and wanting to help and be there for him anyway she could.

Ratchet watched her go as he continued to work on the antidote.

A few hours later Arcee arrived at Knock Out's place and dropped the energon upon seeing Knock Out's door was missing and knew something was wrong.

"No!" She cried as she rushed inside hoping she would find the red spots car alive and well, But instead was greeted with signs of a struggle she noticed the door that had broken after hitting the wall and webs that were on the floor and found the door from Knock Out's alt mode in the corner of the room as well as the now empty syringe that Poison Fang had used to drug the Aston Martin.

"Knock Out!" Arcee started shouting hoping her friend would answer, Knowing he was in trouble and cursing herself for not having gone to check on him sooner, She could have helped him fight and now there was no telling what Poison Fang had done with him.

So she quickly called Ratchet and told him what she had just found and that Knock Out was missing and had been kidnapped or worse what if Poison Fang had killed him? She didn't even want to think about that.

"Wait you found an empty syringe so if Poison Fang had wanted to kill Knock Out why would he inject him with something when he could already bite him to poison him? I'm guessing he must have given Knock Out something to sedate or immobilize him so he could take him somewhere." Ratchet said processing what Arcee had told him.

"But what does he want with Knock Out he didn't kidnap Starscream?" Arcee asked not being able to make since out of the situation.

Ratchet sent Bumblebee and Smokescreen to Knock Out's home to help Arcee figure out what happened and they showed up after what felt like forever to the two wheeler, And she gave the syringe to Red Alert who had shown up with them to examine and he wasted no time scanning it.

"It has traces of Syk." Red Alert told them.

"No that's a kind of circuit booster that's illegal even among Decepticons, I've dealt with it before on police cases, That could harm Knock Out depending on how much was used." Bumblebee explained.

"No we need to find him!" Arcee said feeling terrified for Knock Out. "There's no telling what that psychopath has done or is doing to him!"

"We should've had someone stay with him we knew that monster is out there on the loose and we left him alone!" Arcee finished, She was blaming herself for Knock Out being taken prisoner or worse. "I should have gone to check on him sooner."

"It's not your fault we've all been on edge after what Poison Fang did to Starscream and we all made the same mistake of not thinking he might go after Knock Out." Bumblebee tried to reassure her knowing how hard this was on her.

"Don't worry we'll find Knock Out and save him, Ratchet is already working on a cure for the cyber venom, We'll stop Poison Fang and save Knock Out as well as cure Starscream and Megatron from the cyber venom and we'll all be ok when this is over." Smokescreen added trying to raise everyone's spirits.

"I hope your right." Arcee thought hoping Knock Out was ok.

Meanwhile Knock Out woke up webbed to the wall of a cave, his helm ached and everything looked fuzzy and out of focus then he saw Poison Fang notice him looking around and the spider started saying something but his words sounded distorted and far away not making any sense and everything just felt unimportant.

Poison Fang notice Knock Out looked dazed and barely coherent and seemed to be going back under.

"Well either I got the dosage wrong or your having a bad reaction to the Syk I used on you." Poison Fang said as he cupped one of his hands under the red transformer's chin to force him to look up at him, But could see that he was too out of it to know what was going on.

"Don't worry I've prepared just the thing for this because I thought something like this might happen." The spider told the red medic as he patted him on the head as if stroking a child.

Then he got out another syringe that he filled with a glowing green substance. "This will wake you up." He added as he approached Knock Out.

Then Poison Fang injected it into the cherry colored mech's neckcables.

Knock Out's optics suddenly widened as his body started to jerk and spasm as if he couldn't hold still.

"NO! WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME!!!" Knock Out screamed at him in a tone of pure rage as the Aston Martin's body continued to shake and tremble as if it was impossible for him to hold still or relax.

"You monster I'll make you pay for what you did to Starscream and my finish!" Knock Out growled as he pulled against the webs that were restraining him he felt even angrier then he should have whatever Poison Fang had just given him was messing with his system and affecting his processor.

"I gave you a combination of circuit speeders and Synthetic energon I wanted to see what mixing them together would do." Poison Fang told him in a mocking tone.

"I'll make you pay! I'll end you! I WILL END YOU!!!!" Knock Out yelled as he continued to struggle against his restraints and was slamming himself against the cave wall in an attempt to get the webs off wanting to attack Poison Fang and beat the scrap out of him.

Poison Fang just laughed at his attempts then started putting more webs on him to cushion him against the wall and restricting his movements.

"Hahaha easy doctor I don't want you to offline yourself before I'm finished with you." The spider mocked him then left the room as the red medic continued to scream at him.
_

A few hours later the Synth-En and circuit speeders had worn off and Knock Out was slumped forward having worn himself out right now the webs he was being restrained by were the only reason he wasn't laying on the floor.

He could tell the Synth-En had forced him to burn through his energon reserves and he was extremely low on it, And no telling how badly having it mixed with circuit speeders had messed him up.

Then Poison Fang came back and poor Knock Out was so tired at he could do was glare at him.

"I see your low on energon Doctor so let's play a little game." Poison Fang said to him.

Knock Out didn't like where this was going, Especially when he saw Poison Fang was holding a camera.

"I want you to beg my sister's nemesis and killer to come help you so I can send this to her and lure her here to get revenge for Airachnid, Everytime you ask here to save you I'll give you one sip." The spider told Knock Out as he took out a cube of energon.

Knock Out realized that Poison Fang had planned this whole thing out he would've used that synthetic energon and circuit speeder cocktail on him whether or not the Syk had effected him badly just to make him desperate for energon.

"I'll even get the ball rolling by letting have a sip before we start." Poison Fang added holding the cube to Knock Out's face, Only for the red medic to head but it out of his servo causing it to spill on the floor of the cave.

"No I won't help you lure Arcee into a trap, I'll never betray any of my friends you jerk!" Knock Out hissed at the spider mech. "Your sick and twisted!"

"Oh how noble willing to sacrifice yourself to protect your friend but your going to lure her whether you want to or not." Poison Fang told him darkly as he switched the camera on.

"Hello Autobots if you want this medic to live you'll send Arcee here so I can punish her for Airachnid's death!" Poison Fang said in to the camera. "And just to show you I'm not playing."

Then he went over and used his acid to burn a mark across Knock Out cheek making him bite back a cry of pain.

"Scream." Poison Fang growled in the red medic's audio receptor then he started using his acid to burn his chest plates.

"No Arcee don't come do you hear me he wants to kill you please don't come don't give this lunatic what he wants!" Knock Out screamed at the camera.

Poison Fang started using more of his acid on Knock Out's chest causing him to yell in agony as coolant tears of pain rolled down his face.

"NO.. please don't come after me don't let him get you!" Knock Out cried. "I don't care what he does to me... I'll be ok.. as long as your ok I love you Arcee I can't stand the thought OF HIM HURTING YOU!!!"

Then Poison Fang hit Knock Out hard across the helm rendering him unconscious and turned off the camera hoping the tape would still works to get Arcee or one of the other Autobots to come.

Then the spider looked at the damage his acid had done to Knock Out's chest plates and was glad he had stopped when he did having gotten carried away and inflicted more damage on Knock Out's frame then he'd ment too.

"That was close if I had burned one more inch away I would have hit your spark and I need to keep you alive for now because I want to force Arcee to watch you die." Poison Fang told the unconscious mech as he injected him with just enough energon to keep him from dying too soon.

Then left to go deliver the tape.
