The next day Ratchet looked at Knock Out's servos and was able to fix them so he wouldn't lose control of them anymore and they were as good as new.

"Go ahead and give it a try." Ratchet told him.

Knock Out nodded and change his servo into his drill and activated it only to yelp and change it back to his servo. "NOO!!" He screamed before calming himself.

Ratchet walked over and put his own servo on Knock Out's back to comfort him. Seeing that the drill had triggered him.

"I'm sorry." Knock Out apologized.

"It's ok you've been through a lot." Ratchet said to the cherry mech understanding.

He could tell that even though he had been repaired Knock Out still hadn't fully recovered. He had healed physically but the psychological damage would take longer to fix.

Starscream who had been watching from outside the medbay felt bad for his best friend and angry with Unit E for hurting him the way they did.

No one on the team could figure out why the human government had suddenly turned on them.

So Starscream decided he was going to find out why.
_

Later that night Starscream snuck out of the scrap yard and flew off in his jet mode.

Until he spotted some military jets and sliped into their formation unnoticed a trick he had once used to sneak on to the Nemisis during the war.

He was determined to find out why the humans they had trusted had tortured and almost killed Knock Out who had only been trying to make up for his past and hadn't done anything to them since switching sides.

Starscream was being careful not to be noticed not wanting to be captured or for any of the Autobots to find out where he went not wanting them to come looking for him and get captured.

The only reason he had come to the base was to try to get answers and figure out why these humans who they had considered friend had suddenly decided they were disposable.

Before this had gone down some of those Unit E members had even been on friendly terms with Knock Out just a few days early they had watch a movie with him because Starscream had watch it with them and they had all had fun.

The seeker was searching his processor trying to figure out what had suddenly changed. Knock Out hadn't done anything to deserve what they had done to him.

Starscream felt like if anyone on the team had done anything to deserve to be punished it was him. His actions had been far worse then Knock Out's during the war.

The seeker waited till the humans were inside their base before he transformed and started poking around outside of it.

He heard them say that general Brice had given orders to have one of the cybertronians taken apart to find out what the best way to kill them was.

"But way?" The seeker asked himself. Why did the human government suddenly want them dead? After the Autobots had done so much good why had they turned against them? This didn't make sense.

Starscream started to leave when he bumped into another cybertronian who he recognized as Pharma who tried to used a circuit booster on him but Starscream saw him in time to avoid it.

But now the two of them were struggling over the syringe that Pharma was trying to use on Starscream.

"What are you even doing here?" Starscream asked as they fought the seeker was now even more confused.

"Wouldn't you like to know?" Pharma replied.

"Actually I would?" Starscream said to the former Autobot medic.

"I might tell you after your nap!" Pharma said as he tried to use the circuit booster on Starscream again as he tackled the seeker to the ground and they rolled around for a few minutes.

Starscream suddenly felt Pharma go limp on top of him and then tossed him aside after seeing he had given himself the circuit booster by accident during the struggle.

"Scrap." Pharma said before going into stasis.

"I think I'll take you back to the scrapyard for the Autobots to question when you wake up then we have a stasis pod with your name on it." Starscream hissed rubbing a spot where the medic had hit him. "I'm gonna feel that later." He added.

But suddenly Starscream found himself having to dodge plasma blasts that he saw where coming from Scourge.

"Now what is he doing here?" Thought Starscream wondering what in the universe was going on.

Starscream quickly transformed to his jet mode and flew off knowing anymore fighting might alert the humans that they were there and he really didn't want to be a science project so retreat felt like the best option.

Scourge was now hot on his tailpipe and Starscream couldn't lead him to the scrapyard so he just started fly around aimlessly trying to lose him.

And firing his missiles while dodging more plasma blasts just trying not to be blasted out of the sky he really hadn't planned to end up in a dog fight when he had gone to spy on Unit E.

"I'm starting to think this Unit E situation is more then meets the eye!" Starscream thought as he frantically tried to lose Scourge.

They were now quite a ways from the military base which was good because being captured by humans was now one less thing Starscream had to worry about. He just had to get away from Scourge.

Starscream attempted to do a barrel roll only for one of the plasma blasts to hit his wing and send him plummeting to the ground.

Now dazed the seeker tried to get back to his peds only for Scourge who had caught up to him to start beating him into the ground.

Then Scourge clamped his servos around the seeker's neakcables and Starscream was now going crazy trying to get him to let go of his throat.

This was bringing back horrible memories for Starscream. Whenever Megatron would beat him during the war that was always where the warlord had grabbed him.

Anytime Starscream had been grabbed by the neck he had always ended up being beaten within an inch of his life and he hated being touched there.

When Scourge noticed how much the seeker was freaking out he applied more pressure. Starscream was desperately trying to use his own servos to pull Scourge's off his neck. And continued to kick and squirm just wanting to get away.

Then Scourge slammed the seeker's helm hard into the ground rendering Starscream unconscious. Just then Cyclonus showed up.

"This seeker was snooping around outside the humans base." Scourge explained.

"Bring him back to our ship he may be able to give us information about the Autobots." Cyclonus told the other sweep.

"We should go the humans were coming out after the commotion he caused." Cyclonus added.

"Should I get Pharma?" Asked Scourge.

"No he failed to subdued Starscream of all bot so leave him to his fate he's worthless extra baggage that we don't need." Cyclonus replied.

Then they took Starscream who was still out and bleeding energon from his mouth to their ship planning to see what information they could get from the seeker when he woke up.
