After Fire Wing explained everything to them the next day. Everyone welcomed her to the team. Then Starscream went with her to an unpopulated area in the dessert to help her try to figure out how to control her fire. And then do some combat training to teach her to fight in her bot mode.

Everyone else watched on a video feed Soundwave had set up through Laserbeak. And saw thought the combat training was going well. The learning to control her fire was a different story.

At first she refused to change to her beast mode because she didn't want to cause any damage. Till Starscream explained they were in the middle of a dessert where she didn't have to worry about starting a fire or burning someone.

Then she changed to her Phoenix mode and was now learning to control her fire. Starscream was glad she was getting the hang of her beast mode and couldn't help calling Knock Out on his com-link to brag about how great a teacher he was.

"Not bad huh I'm not a Predicon and don't have fire powers but I can teach Fire Wing to control hers." Chimed Starscream. "I guess it's true that those who can't teach."

"Oh my goodness!" "Starscream your on fire!" Yelled Knock Out over the com-link.

"Yes I'm doing a great job but it's Fire Wing who's a fast learner." Said Starscream.

"No Starscream your really on fire!" Screamed Knock Out over the com-link.

Then Starscream felt heat and noticed smoke coming from his wings. "Ahhh!" "I just got the message!" Cried Starscream. "Someone put me out quick!"

Then a ground bridge opened and Knock Out ran through and used a fire extinguisher to put out Starscream's wings. And luckily there was no serious damage.

"I'll stay next to the ground bridge with this on stand by." Said Knock Out holding the fire extinguisher. "Kind of puts a new meaning to the human term hot wings doesn't it." He joked as he went back through the ground bridge with a smirk.

"Hey!" Yelled Starscream as the ground bridge closed. "That Knock Out and his jokes." But then he couldn't help letting out a little chuckle.

Fire wing continued to practice controlling her fire and was finally getting the hang of it though Knock Out did have to use the fire extinguisher on Starscream a few more times before she finally had it under control. And she kept changing back to her bot mode and apologizing.

After several more hours they decided to call it a day and go back to base.

Later that evening Agent Fowler asked Shayna and Knock Out to talk to him in private.

"What is it Agent Fowler?" Asked Shayna.

"I just heard from a friend of mine Agent Merrings that the military captured several more members of New Mech." Agent Fowler explained.

"Good." Said Knock Out and Shayna remembering what New Mech had put them through.

New Mech had been put together by Spencer Cylas's bother who wanted revenge on all transformers for what happened to his bother and was just as bad as Cylas had been if not more so.

Spencer and New Mech had poisoned Starscream with a cocktail of Dark Energon, Red Energon and Tox-En that had almost killed him, Revealed the transformers to the world, Kidnapped Shayna and Starscream, Kidnapped Soundwave, Tortured and nearly killed and dissected Knock Out, and tried to wipe out all the Cybertronians on Earth.

"Yes but a small group of them and Spencer are still at large and we fear they might go after the team for revenge." Agent Fowler explained. "So I'm letting everyone on the team know to be careful."

"Yeah there's no telling what New Mech might try." Shayna said not sounding happy.

"The humans on the team need to be extra careful because New Mech might try to kidnap them and use them as leverage to get to the bots." Said Agent Fowler.

"Don't worry I'll be careful." Promised Shayna.

"Good because I think you two made the biggest impression on them last time and Spencer probably still wants revenge on Knock Out for Cylas." Agent Fowler explained. "I'll go warn the others so they can be ready."

"I'm gonna head home to get some rest." Said Shayna seeing it was getting late.

"I have to stay and help Ratchet in the medbay." Knock Out told her with a hint of worry on his face not wanting to leave her unprotected.

"Don't worry I'll be careful and you can call my cell and check on me." Shayna suggested. Then Shayna went to catch a bus.
_                                                         

A few hours later Shayna arrived at her house in the suburbs then realized she left her purse that had her keys in it on Agent Fowler's desk. So she was locked out of her own house.

"Oh scrap!" Groaned Shayna. And then she saw that her phone's battery was almost dead.

"Oh great Knock Out is going to be worried to death if he can't call because my phone is dead and I can't get in the house to change it." Thought Shayna.

Then she saw she had left a window open so she got a ladder that was near her porch and decided to climb in through there. "I can't believe I left that open anyone could get in." She scolded herself. "Well I guess it was a good thing this time because it's my way in." "Just hope that no one reports me for breaking in to my own house."

Then she made it through the window and heard voices. "Yikes!" Thought Shayna. Then she bumped the ladder from the window and it fell to the ground.

"Oh great now I'm stuck in here with New Mech!" Whimpered a panic stricken Shayna.

Then she heard someone coming and grabbed a vase. She could tell it was a man then hit him in the head with it knocking him to the floor then ran past him only to be grabbed by someone else and she started fighting hard to get free. Until the light was turned on and Agent Fowler came in.

"It's OK Shayna their on our side." Explained Agent Fowler. "This is Agent Lennox." He said pointing at the man Shayna had been struggling with. "And Agent Epps." He added pointing at the one she clobbered with the vase.

"Nice to meet you guys." Said Shayna who was now blushing. "Sorry about that."

"I sent agents to the homes of each of the humans on the team to help keep them safe from New Mech." Agent Fowler explained. "And you left this in my office." He added handing Shayna her purse. "And why in Uncle Sam's boxers were you climbing through the window?" "Do you know how dangerous that is?"

"I would have called someone but my phone was dead." Said Shayna. "Guess this was the day for dumb decisions." Then she plugged in her phone and they all had a good laugh.
_                                                          

Meanwhile Knock Out had just finished helping Ratchet in the medbay and was on his way home to Shayna's house and hurrying to get back to his charge.

When he noticed he was being followed by two black vans at first he thought nothing of it. Until he noticed the word Mech on the side of them.

"It's New Mech!" Thought Knock Out. "I can't lead them to Shayna's house." So he start driving like crazy trying to lose them.

Knock Out turn on to a dirt road he wanted to keep away from any populated areas so New Mech wouldn't hurt any bystanders trying to get him. He kept putting on more speed hoping to out drive them.

Then to his horror he saw they were heading for a dead end at the foot of a mountain. Hoping to avoid capture he transformed to his cybertronian mode and started trying to climb but more members of New Mech showed up and started shooting missiles at him he was able to dodge them. But it caused a rock slide that made Knock Out lose his footing and fall to the ground.

Knock Out started to get up. Only to be shot with a net New Mech had made to capture cybertronians. Knock Out was now in full panic mode trying to activate his saw to free himself.

"Oh no you don't." Hissed a man who Knock Out recognized as Spencer much to the red medic's horror.

"I think you need to relax." Said Spencer who pushed a button on a remote he was holding. And the next thing Knock Out knew electricity surged through his body and he cried out in pain before loosing consciousness.

To Be Continued.

Cliffhanger. Poor Knock Out is in trouble again I always put him there. It's like when a kid has a crush on someone so they keep picking on them. LOL.
