Knock Out was trying his best to get to the antidote. He couldn't stand so was having to crawl across the floor to get to the other side of the room.

He felt sick and dizzy and was struggling to stay awake knowing if he went into recharge it would be over.

He felt so weak and tired he was having trouble focusing and his movements were sloppy and shaky.

He kept having to stop and rest but couldn't hold still for to long afraid he might go offline.

He had tried to reach his com-link but he couldn't focus enough to call anyone and even if he could he was still having trouble speaking.

Knock Out managed to make it to the table but couldn't reach the syringe with the antidote. He couldn't get off the floor.

So he started kicking the legs of the table trying to knock it over. But he was having trouble focusing so his aim was a bit off and he kept either missing or not kicking it hard enough.

Finally he managed to get the syringe to fall off the table. It landed a couple feet from him.

He was trying to reach for it when he suddenly wasn't able to move anymore the poison now had him paralyzed. So all he could do was lay there and the sad thing was his digits were only two inches from the antidote.

Knock Out could only look at the wall that he was currently facing. And remembered he had another problem he had just set up the charge and it was currently counting down. And he was paralyzed and suffering the effects of the poison.

If the poison didn't kill him the explosion would. He couldn't move to run or reach the antidote. It was a fight just to keep his optics open and stay conscious.

Knock Out knew at this point he wasn't going to make it. This was the end for him but at least his friends had planted the charges and were probably back at the ship by now and could leave the planet and stop the Quintessionts.

To spite how sick he felt and the amount of pain he was in. He managed to force a smirk on his face.

"Well at least I'm going out with a bang." He thought as he glanced at the timer on the bomb that was still counting down. "Well unless the poison kills me before it blows."

Knock Out was just glad his friends were safe and that they had beaten the Quintessionts.
_                                                                           

Meanwhile the others had arrived at the ship and noticed Knock Out hadn't gotten back yet.

And knew he was probably in trouble. So Ultra Magnus and Arcee went back to look for him.

They used a scanner to track his life signal. And were worried when they saw it kept getting weaker.

And knew something was wrong with him. They found where his signal was coming from and ran there knowing they didn't have a second to lose.

Arcee made it there first because they had split up to cover more ground because they knew his life signal was somewhere in the building but not which room he was in.

And upon entering the medbay she saw Knock Out on the floor dazed as his optics kept rolling to the back of his helm. He was just barely conscious and could only look up at her.

She noticed the syringe on the floor and that Knock Out had been reaching for it. And could tell he was suffering from the effects of some kind of poison. So she took the syringe and injected it into his neckcables.

And Knock Out thanked her with his optics before going unconscious. Then Ultra Magnus got there and they saw the bomb that was counting down just like the rest of the charges they'd planted and knew they didn't have much time.

So Ultra Magnus carried Knock Out as he and Arcee rushed out of the building and once outside raced to where the ship was.

Explosions were already going off behind them. But luckily they made it to the ship where everyone else was already on board.

"Go go go!" Arcee practically screamed as she was the last to board the ship.

And Wheeljack who was at the ships controls didn't have to be told twice. Then the ship shot off into to orbit leaving Aquatron behind them.
_                                                                       

After they got out into space they started heading for Velocitron because Optimus, Bumblebee, Smokescreen and Starscream had already arranged for them to take a space bridge from there to Earth then Cybertron.

Everyone was currently standing outside the medbay where Ratchet was trending to Knock Out who they were all worried about because he still hadn't regained consciousness yet.

Arcee was worried she had given Knock Out the antidote to late. Or what if it hadn't been an antidote but something that would harm him instead.

Ratchet said he wouldn't be able to tell what Knock Out's condition was until he woke up.

And the longer he stayed unconscious the bigger the chance he would have something wrong with him when he woke up or that he might not wake up at all.

And everyone was waiting outside the maybe just hoping Knock Out would be ok.

To Be Continued.
