Chapter 7

Arcee had spent the whole day trying to figure out how to find Poison Fang or where he was keeping Knock Out wanting to save her friend.

She was currently driving around Cybertron's wilderness looking for any clues that might lead her to Poison Fang or Knock Out, But so far she hadn't found anything and was on the verge of giving up when she spotted tire tracks.

Upon looking closer she could tell whoever left them had been in a hurry like they were being chased so she followed them until she saw where they ended at the edge of a cliff, Someone must have been desperate to try to ramp over that cliff.

Deciding it was worth investigating Arcee climbed down to the bottom of the cliff now concerned because it was a big enough drop to seriously injure anyone who fell from it.

Once she made it to the bottom she spotted a cocoon of webbing and saw a tire sticking out from under the webs that she immediately recognized, Then she wasted no time rushing over and getting the webs off.

"Knock Out!" She screamed upon getting the webs off his face and working to remove it from the rest of his body. "Please wake up!"

But the red medic remained unresponsive and she could tell he was badly hurt and very sick and could see the acid burns and fang marks on his neckcables, but was relieved when she saw his digits twitch and his optics move as if he was trying to open them but couldn't, He was still alive but needed medical attention as soon as possible because he was barley hanging on.

Arcee was about to use her com-link to call for a ground bridge and paramedics when she heard pedsteps and turned around with her blaster ready to protect Knock Out.

"Wait it's me!" Starscream quickly let her know having found them.

"Oh thank goodness." Arcee said putting away her blaster glad to see that it wasn't Poison Fang and that Starscream was there and ok.

"Oh no what happened?" Starscream asked noticing the condition his brother was in and lowered his wings worried about him.

"I don't know what all Poison Fang did to him but he needs medical attention and fast." She explained.

Then Arcee called for Paramedics and a ground bridge to the hospital, Then stayed with Knock Out and Starscream kept his missiles ready to cover them both until help arrived.

Fortunately a ground bridge opened a few minutes later since the ground bridge had been repaired and they quickly got Knock Out on to a stretcher and rushed him through the ground bridge and to the hospital where he was taken back to the operating room and Ratchet and the other medics got to work trying to save the Aston Martin's life.

Arcee and Starscream stayed in the waiting room and we're soon joined by Blackarachnia, Megatron and the rest of the Autobots.

It felt like it was taking forever but of course they were all worried about Knock Out, Then Starscream notice someone had painted faces on his missiles while he was in his coma.

"What the heck?" The seeker said looking at his missiles. "You know I actually kind of like it, I think I'll start painting them like this from now on." He was just thinking of anything he could to try to distract himself from worrying about his brother, But it wasn't working.

"You should get Knock Out to help you." Smokescreen told him he'll need something to do until he heals enough to fix his paint job, Smokescreen was trying to give the seeker and himself hope that the red spots car would pull through.

"He would probably like that." Bumblebee added also trying to be hopeful.

"Don't worry Arcee Knock Out is much stronger then he looks and he'll survive this I mean he's Starscream's brother is he not and Starscream is a survivor so of course he is as well." Megatron said thinking he was reassuring Arcee.

"Why is he talking to an IV poll?" He heard a random bot asked.

"Scrap I miss being able to see." The former gladiator facepalmed.

Then Ratchet came out and reported that Knock Out had been given the antidote and cured from the cyber venom, And the acid burns had been fixed.

"If Poison Fang had used his acid to burn Knock Out's chest plates just a few inches deeper it would have gotten his spark, And if he had hit the ground in even a slightly different angle he would've been paralyzed maybe permanently." Ratchet explained.

"Poison Fang is every bit as sadistic as his sister was, but fortunately Knock Out will make a full recovery." He added and everyone was relieved that Knock Out was going to be ok.

Then they saw a Vehicon call Starscream over to tell him something and the seeker went over to him and he whispered something to him.

"WHAT?!" "No heak no I'm a mech!" They heard the seeker yell in shock.

"Oh I'm so sorry I thought you were a femme!" The Vehicon apologized sounding just as embarrassed as Starscream. "I am SO sorry."

Then the Vehicon ran off like his wings were on fire.

"That Vehicon thought I was a femme and didn't know I'm a mech dating Blackarachnia and he asked me out." Said Starscream now felling completely humiliated.

Then Smokescreen and Sideswipe both quickly left the room and they all heard them both bust out laughing as soon as they thought Starscream couldn't hear them anymore.

Then Starscream and Arcee were the first two to go back to see Knock Out when Ratchet told them they could.

Knock Out had just woke up when they entered the room, At first he was scared until he realized he was safe in the hospital and among friends with his brother and Arcee in the room and he thanked them for saving him.

The red mech was thrilled to know that Starscream was ok and that all his friends were safe, And Starscream told Knock Out about how he had met their parents and what they told him.

Arcee had stepped into the hallway to give the two brothers some privacy so they could talk.

"So what was Dad like?" Knock Out asked.

"He was a great sire and leader of Vos, he never rebonded and would help me practice flying and combat, Until one day some insecticons attacked us and he took a blow to the spark that was ment for me." Starscream explained letting his wings drop.

"I always thought that maybe if I had fought harder or been stronger I could've saved him." He added sadly having blamed himself for what happened having been inexperienced at the time and then thrust into the position of leading Vos before he was ready, one of the reasons Starscream had always wanted to be a good leader was because he wanted his Dad to be proud of him and to honor him.

"It wasn't your fault Screamer he wanted to protect you that's what parents do for their kids." Knock Out comforted his brother.

"So what about Mom what was she like?" Starscream asked wanting to move to a different subject.

"She was great she used to take me racing and I would watch her when she competed in them and she taught me a lot of my driving skills and how to wax and buff myself and we both liked the color red, She told me it's a perfect color for bots on Velocitron because out of all the colors red light travels the fastest." Knock Out explained.

"Well one day she crashed during a race and I ran down and stayed with her but the paramedics didn't show up till she was already gone because Velacitron was always understaffed when it came to medics because everyone was more concerned with racing, That's actually what drove me to become a medic." Knock Out finished.

"And your a great one, Mom would be proud of you." Starscream said to his brother. "And Dad too."

"They would both be proud of you to Starscream." Knock Out replied.

Then Starscream left to go see the other so Arcee could talk to Knock Out for a bit, Knowing the two wheeler had been worried about him.

Arcee entered the room after Starscream left and she and Knock Out started talking.

"Thanks for going to look for me, You and Starscream saved my life by finding me and getting me here in time." Knock Out thanked her.

"But please don't put yourself in danger for me, There's no telling what Poison Fang might've done to you if he had still been there." He added shaking not liking the thought of her being harmed.

"You know I can never promise that, I've lost friends before so don't ever ask me to leave you in danger I can't stand the thought of losing you too, I'm always gonna come for you if you're in danger no matter how many times you tell me not too." Arcee told him. "Because I love you too." (She remembered him saying he loved her on the tape Poison Fang had left.)

Knock Out was left speechless feeling touched and shocked that she felt the same way for him that he did for her, Then the two of them kissed.

Meanwhile Poison Fang was in his cave having gone back to the cliff and had seen Arcee and Starscream along with the paramedics take Knock Out through the ground bridge.

"Oh don't worry I'm not finished with any of you yet." He hissed not happy to learn Starscream had survived and that they had found Knock Out still alive.

"I will have my revenge for Airachnid." He added as he left the cave while thinking of a plan to get his revenge on all who he thought wronged him and his sister.

As long as he was still at large no one was going to be safe.

To Be Continued.

Hope this chapter turned out ok, The joke about the Vehicon thinking Starscream was a femme was hannahconkle's idea, I'll try to get the next chapter up soon, In the meantime feel free to send feedback.
