Later that evening Megatron and Blackarachnia were in Starscream's room when his vitals suddenly started going crazy.

"Ratchet!" Blackarachnia called the medic into the room and as soon as he saw what was going on he jumped right into action.

"What's happening? What's going on?!" Megatron asked knowing something was wrong.

"Starscream's taking a turn for the worst." Blackarachnia told him barely able to hold back sobs.

Megatron made a fist worried about his former second in command and angry that the antidote didn't work to save him and felt helpless knowing there was nothing he could do to help him.

Ratchet started using the paddles on him trying desperately to keep the seeker online.

Meanwhile Starscream found himself in a place that was completely white and saw a blue light that he recognized as the Allspark.

Starscream started to approach it ready to become one with the Allspark, Until he felt a hand on his shoulder and turned around to see a seeker mech and a grounder Velocitronian femme.

"No son it isn't your time yet." Said the mech who Starscream recognized as his and Knock Out's Sire and knew that the femme was their Carrier she looked exactly like a female version of Knock Out.

"It's great to see you both but I have a question why did you two split up and why didn't you tell me and Knock Out about each other?" Starscream asked feeling like his and Knock Out's parents had some serious explaining to do.

"It was necessary to protect the two of you, You see your mother and I met when I was visiting Velocitron and we fell in love at first sight and we started dating in secret because it was forbidden for seekers and grounders to become sparkmates." Starscream's Sire told him.

"So we had a secret bonding ceremony and I used light binder tech to pose as a seeker so I could live with your Sire in Vos, I got out of flying by saying my T-cog had a defect." His Carrier explained.

"Then when you and Knock Out were born it was the happiest day of both of our lives you two were twins with you being older by five minutes, You ended up taking after me and Knock Out took after your Carrier." Said Starscream and Knock Out's Sire.

"Unfortunately the fact that Knock Out took after me is what caused problems later since we couldn't let anyone on Cybertron find out we weren't seeker we planned to keep you both inside the house until Knock Out was old enough to wear light binder tech and we were going to say he inherited my T-cog defect." His Carrier told him.

"But unfortunately it didn't work out that way one day one of the medics in Vos Pharma paid an unexpected visit, a horrible mech, He was there to do check ups on everyone in Vos do to a virus that had been spreading at the time and was so rude he pretty much just shoved his way through the front door to spite my protests." She continued.

Then they showed Starscream a flashback of what had gone down.

Pharma had barged into their home as his Carrier was trying to get him to leave when he suddenly heard one of the sparkling giggle because the two had woke up from their nap and Knock Out who was curious about his brother's wings started touching them and tickling him as the two sparkling were laying in the crib together cuddling with each other it would've been adorable if not for the circumstances.

"I didn't know you two had sparklings?" Pharma said as he forced his way into the nursery. "Even more reason for you to all be examined."

"That won't be necessary we already have a Doctor coming later please leave." Their Carrier said sternly secretly feeling panic striken and trying her best to hide it.

"What is this!?" Pharma shouted upon seeing Knock Out. "You should put this defect out of it's misery there is no place for a wingless seeker in Vos."

Pharma roughly yanked the poor red sparkling out of the crib and held him by the back of the neckcables casing him to sob because not only had poor Knock Out been scared to death by the yelling and suddenly being jerked out of the crib and away from his brother by a strange mech but Pharma was holding him in a way that was hurting him.

Starscream had also started crying sensing his brother's distress and having been startled from hanging him snatch from right next to him.

"Don't ever call him a defect or touch either of my children again!" Their Carrier hissed as she punched Pharma and took Knock Out into her servos as their Sire who had just gotten home rushed to help his conjunx and sparklings.

"Don't defend that freak!" Pharma growled rubbing his jaw where he had just been decked by the protective mother. "Killing it would be a mercy what good is a seeker who can not fly?"

"He's not a freak he's a Velocitron like me!" Their Carrier yelled deactivating her light binder tech and reveling herself as a grounder.

"You two have committed a serious crime it illegal for seekers and grounders to bond!" Pharma bellowed as he started to attack Starscream and Knock Out's Carrier. "This goes against Cybertron's cast system."

"Don't touch my wife!" Roared their Sire as he tackle Pharma and used his talons to stab the other seeker in the midsection killing him in the same exact way Starscream did Cliffjumper millions of years later. "Don't mess with my family."

Then Starscream and Knock Out's Sire pick up Starscream while their Carrier continued to hold Knock Out and they hugged each other as they tried to calm down the two sparklings who both continued to wail.

Later after both sparklings had relaxed after their parents spent several hours comforting them, Starscream and Knock Out Sire got rid of Pharma's body by throwing it in a smelting pit.

And the two parents realized that even though the information Pharma had learned died with him, They both knew it would only be a matter of time before someone else found them out.

Not only was staying together on Vos putting both their sparklings in danger, But they decided it was wrong to keep Knock Out's Velacitronion heritage from him and force him to pretend to be a seeker when he was a grounder and it wouldn't be good for him since Velacitronions craved speed and racing almost as much as seekers did flying in the sky.

And Starscream and Knock Out's Sire couldn't leave Vos because as its leader the seeker capital depended on him.

So they made the difficult decision to separate the sparklings and each other Knock Out would be raised by his Carrier on Velocitron while Starscream's Sire would raise him in Vos on Cybertron and the two brothers would never know about each other since they were still to young at that point to retain memories.

Which after what Pharma had just put them through was probably for the better.

"Separating the two of you and saying goodbye to each other and each saying goodbye to one of you two was the hardest thing we ever had to do." Starscream's parents both told him. "We're so sorry we couldn't let the two of you know about each other."

"It's ok you did what you had to do to protect us, And we did eventually find and meet each other and learn we were brothers and we have a good brotherly relationship now." Starscream told them understanding.

"Now I need to go back and help my friends, Thanks for everything both of you." He smiled.

"We love you son and tell Knock Out we love him too and we'll meet both of you when you times come." They told him before returning to the Allspark.

"I love you too and I will tell him." Starscream promised before closing his optics.

Then opened them again now in his hospital room where Ratchet had been just about to pronounce him dead, And he ended up giving everyone a jump scare.

And Ratchet who had still been holding the paddles ended up accidentally shocking Megatron with one because he was still blind and jumped into it when he heard Ratchet and Blackarachnia cry out before jumping.

"Oops." Starscream said looking at the now stunned former warlord. "I'm so sorry that must have been a surprise." He added looking at the other two.

"It was shocking." Megatron replied not knowing where to look since he couldn't see, But then it registered who's voice he just heard.

"Starscream your ok." He said happy the seeker had survived and come out of his coma.

"Yeah it will take more then that to take me offline." The seeker smiled.

Then they told him everything that had happened while he was in his coma as Ratchet checked him over and proudly reported he was fine now, And he was immediately worried about his brother when he heard about Knock Out being kidnapped and tortured by Poison Fang and that he was currently still being held prisoner.

Just then Ratchet got a call on his com-link from Bumblebee explaining that he had just gone to check on Arcee only to find two vehicons arguing over which one of them lost her.

Then after hanging up Ratchet told Blackarachnia what was going on and they both turned to see that Starscream was gone having snuck away while they were talking and Megatron couldn't see him leave to stop him.

They all knew he had gone to help Knock Out and Arcee and decided to go look for all three of them.

Meanwhile Knock Out woke up still webbed to the cave wall and noticed Poison Fang wasn't there at the moment now was his chance to try to escape.

After a bit of effort the red medic managed to transform his fingers into his torches and use them to burn through the webs, only to immediately slump to the floor because he was still low on energon.

And put one of his servos on his chest where the acid burns were as he clutched it in pain, Then managed to crawl to the other side of the room where there were energon cubes and wasted no time chuging one of them and laid there for a few minutes before feeling some of his strength come back and managing to stand up.

Then walked out of the cave only to run into Poison Fang who had just gotten back.

"Going somewhere Doctor?" Poison Fang asked darkly.

"Eat my dust!" Knock Out quipped as he changed to his vehicle mode and drove right into the spider making a point to spin his tires in his face before driving off.

"That was for Starscream!" The Aston Martin called behind him as he drove away knowing that wouldn't keep the spider down for long and he had to escape.

He drove off into the night at his top speed not even bothering to check behind him knowing he had to keep moving not wanting to be recaptured, Fortunately his missing door didn't affect his driving.

After quickly checking his rearview mirrors and not seeing anything Knock Out transformed from his alt mode to rest for a minute and examined the acid burns that were on his cheek and chest plates.

They both still hurt like crazy but right now they were the least of his problems, He heard a rock move and managed to dodge out of the way just as his enemy's giant trap jaw spider beast mode attempted to jump him from above.

Knock Out quickly changed back to his alt mode and drove off as fast as he could, But saw Poison Fang now chasing him in his spider from and gaining on him fast and he saw there was a cliff ahead of him.

If he slowed down he would be caught so his only hope was to try to ramp over the cliff to the other side, The Auston Martin just hoped he was going fast enough to make it.

"Here goes nothing!" Knock Out thought in a panic as he shot over the edge of the cliff.

But suddenly Poison Fang shot his webs which snagged Knock Out's back tires and yanked them in such a way that made the red spots car slam into the side of the cliff before letting go of the webs and letting the Aston Martin fall to the bottom of the cliff where he transformed on impact landing hard on his back.

Then Poison Fang climbed down to the bottom of the cliff where he found Knock Out still laying on his back dazed and badly injured from the fall.

"No!" Knock Out moaned now in a world of pain and unable to move having been so close to escaping.

"You just couldn't stay put." Poison Fang hissed in his audio receptors. "I wanted to kill you in front of Arcee but I don't think your gonna last long enough."

"But I can make sure whatever time you have left is agonizing." The spider added coldly.

Then Poison Fang changed back to his spider mode and wrapped his legs around Knock Out forcing him to hold still, All the poor red medic could do was weakly swipe at him in a futile attempt to fend him off.

Then Knock Out felt the spider mech's fangs sink into his neakcables as his optics widened in pain and Poison Fang only removed them when he felt the cherry colored mech go limp.

Then looked down at him and saw the red medic's optics rolling to the back of his helm and his body started to shake as he let out soft grunts of pain having just been given a large dose of cyber venom.

"Goodbye Knock Out it's been fun." Poison Fang mocked the red spots car confident that he was dying.

Then started using his webs on him until he had Knock Out completely covered in a web cocoon, Then left the Aston Martin there to die.

To Be Continued.
