Meanwhile back at the ship everyone had just finished repairs on it, when suddenly Ratchet heard Ghost Rose scream from the medbay having just found her big brother unconscious on the berth and signs of a struggle in the medbay.

And everyone rushed in to see what was going on.

"Fortunately he's fine just heavily sedated." Ratchet explained after running a diagnostic scan on the seeker. "He'll just get a powerful recharge."

"Who did this though and why?" Asked Ghost Rose.

"I don't know but we need to find out." Said Bumblebee.

"Wait has anyone seen Knock Out or the new Starscream around?" Asked Arcee.

"No and I haven't for awhile." Smokescreen replied.

"It's not like Knock Out to just take off we better go find them then get ready to leave we have to find Unicron's spark before Galvatron and Nemesis Prime do and given what happened to Starscream in the medbay it might not be safe here much longer." Ratchet told them and they all agreed and went out to look for Knock Out and Earthspark Starscream.

Meanwhile Knock Out and Earthspark Starscream were still trying to think of a way out to escape from Jhiaxus and Pharma's lab.

Just then the two mad scientists return to the lab.

"You let us go you monsters!" Knock Out hissed at them.

"Looks like someone didn't learn their lesson, looks like I'll have to give you another attitude adjustment." Pharma said darkly as he pulled out the remote again.

"Please leave him alone!" Earthspark Starscream begged them not to hurt the red medic.

And poor Knock Out braced himself for another shock, while still giving Pharma and Jhiaxus death glares in defiance.

"I think I do something different this time." Pharma told Knock Out in a mocking tone while looking him straight in the optics.

Suddenly Pharma started messing with the temperature in Knock Out's cell switching it back and forth from extreme cold and hot.

Knock Out was now struggling to keep his core temperature regulated and the poor Aston Martin didn't know if his system would freeze or melt.

"No stop please! Earthspark Starscream begged them knowing at this rate they would end up killing Knock Out.

"Knock Out was it? Isn't it fascinating how Thermal shock works it's so annoying when the temperature can't make up it's mind am I right?" Pharma quipped as he put the temperature back to normal then entered Knock Out's cell while the red medic was still on the floor recovering from what the rapidly changing temperature just put him through.

Knock Out saw the cell door open and Pharma approach him as he was still shivering.

"Get..a..way..from..me.." Knock Out struggled to speak.

Then Pharma bent down next to the weakened red medic and Knock Out saw him take out a needle and fill it with something from a vile that Knock Out couldn't make out.

"What...is..that.." Knock Out groaned weakly.

"Just a serum I created it won't quit put you under you'll still be able to move and speak but it'll be extremely difficult because this makes it really hard to focus and you'll be feeling really sick for hours." Pharma explained as he prepared the shot.

"No don't you take him with that!" Earthspark Starscream was now pleading for them to leave Knock Out alone, but it fell on death ears.

"D..don't.." Knock Out tried to struggle to avoid the injection but was too weak to put up much of a fight he clumsy tried to swipe Pharma's servo away but he was easy to overpower.

"None of that be a good patient and take your medicine." Pharma told him in a fake comforting tone.

And then Knock Out felt Pharma stab the syringe into his midsection and push the plunger and the red medic felt whatever was in that shot enter his system and few seconds later his vision started to blurr.

Then Pharma pulled it out and petted Knock Out on the shoulder.

"Good boy." Pharma mocked before leaving the cell and closing it behind him.

Knock Out tried to get up but everything was spinning now and he couldn't steady himself or get his vision to focus and his hearing wasn't doing so well either.

"Now that you've had your fun can we turn our attention to the task at hand?" Ask Jhiaxus.

"Ok." Pharma responded.

And they forced open Earthspark Starscream's spark and start working to extract a good portion of it.

Earthspark Starscream started crying and in agony as they begin to harvest part of his spark.

"No...!" Knock Out continued to whimper from the floor to spite feeling extremely sick he continued begging them to stop even though it was hard to get his words out.

And it went on for several hours until the serum wore off but Knock Out still couldn't get out to help the seeker.

Then they took out a huge chunk of Starscream's spark then put it on a table.

Knock Out looked at Earthspark Starscream still strapped to the table and the red medic could tell the seeker was dying and the fact that there was nothing he could do was destroying him.

But no one saw the Cloaked Bot sneak over and do something to the part of Earthspark Starscream's spark that had been extracted something that involved a phase shifter.

Then Pharma suddenly grabbed the spark off the table.

"What are you doing?" Asked Jhiaxus.

"I have what I want so I don't need you anymore I'm taking the immortality for myself." Pharma explained.

"You dare to betray me?!" Jhiaxus hissed.

"Yes I do dare." Pharma shot back before shaving the spark into his chamber to merge with his own.

"Yes I'm immortal!" Pharma shouted victoriously.

Then he realized he was in a ghost form.

"Of course this is part of the mutant spark they can survive offlining and even take over bodies by being ghost." Pharma thought marveling at his new power.

Then he decided to go back into his body to brag about it, But his spark went right through the chamber.

"Of course I'm still getting the hang of this." He smirked thinking this was a first time fluke, but then he when through it again and again and again.

"Scrap I can't stay in my own spark chamber!" Pharma cried in horror. "Maybe I can just use someone else's?"

Then Pharma tried going into Jhiaxus but just went through him as well.

"No! Jhiaxus I know I just betrayed you but you gotta help me!" He begged the other scientist who just ignored him.

"The idiot just destroyed himself." Jhiaxus said looking down at Pharma now sparkless frame.

"But I'm right here you tell him Knock Out!" Pharma pleaded going in front of the cell then passing through it, but Knock Out didn't respond to him at all.

Then it downed on Pharma no one could see or hear him or even feel him and he couldn't go into a body he had gotten his immortality but in doing so he had just doomed himself to be a ghost forever wondering the multiverse unable to ever be seen, heard, or touched again.

Pharma let out a scream as his new reality sank in.

Jhiaxus thinking Pharma was gone and not having the spark anymore was thinking about what his next move would be when he saw a monitor that showed him someone was approaching the ship and he decided to cut his losses and leave before he could be captured.

"Oh I guess I should take care of you before I go since Pharma is gone and that Starscream on the table is dying wouldn't want to leave a witness functioning." Jhiaxus told Knock Out who just glared at him.

Then Jhiaxus press another button ok the remote and suddenly a green gas started spraying into Knock Out's cell.

"It's a Tox-en gas we used it to euthanize test subjects." Jhiaxus said to the red medic who just glared at him. "Or now I guess I use it to euthanize test subjects."

Then Jhiaxus made his exit leaving poor Knock Out to die.

Just then the Cloaked Bot rand in and pick up the remote and made the vents suck the deadly Tox-en gas away then opened the cell door and Knock Out after taking a moment to come back to his senses rushed to the lab table and got the restraints off Earthspark Starscream who was fading fast and just barely clingy to life.

"No, I'm so sorry I couldn't help you." Knock Out said to the dying seeker on the verge of coolant tear.

Just then all the other Starscreams entered the ship. (minus TFP Starscream and Ulchtar)

And they all saw the state of Earthspark Starscream.

"Jhiaxus and Pharma wanted his spark because they wanted immortality from it and they killed him trying to get it." Knock Out explained as he struggled to keep it together.

"We can fix this." Said Shattered Glass Starscream.

"Boys looks like one of us needs help." Animated Starscream chimed in.

"You all know what to do." G1 Starscream told the others.

Then they all opened their spark chambers and each took a small sliver of their sparks and then opened Earthspark Starscream's spark chamber and each put the sliver from their's into it.

And Knock Out watch as they all murged together and repaired Earthspark Starscream's spark.

Then he opened his optics and came back online as good as new.

"How is this possible?" Knock Out asked in amazement.

"Those monsters took too big a piece out of his spark as long as we only remove a sliver and not a big chunk like that our sparks can repair themselves and we can even share them to heal others." TFOne Starscream explained.

Knock Out was glad that Earthspark Starscream was alive and had made a full recovery.

Then the others arrived including Ulchtar and TFP Starscream who had woken up a bit ago, and they were all relieved to have found Knock Out and Earthspark Starscream both alive and well, Ghost Rose had even hugged Knock Out as soon as she entered.

Megaton was hesitant at first given his last encounter with the Starscream flock, But after TFP Starscream, Ulchtar and Earthspark Starscream all explained that he was ok and had befriend his Starscream and had even saved him from Galvatron and Nemesis Prime (leaving out the mess hall incident.) the other Starscreams welcomed him.

"Wait before Pharma and Jhiaxus kidnapped us we were on our way to ask one of you about something called the Underbase." Knock Out explained having just remembered.

"The underbase is an artifact of extreme power and a database of knowledge." Marvel comics Starscream stepped forward and explained.

"I once bathed in a small bit of it's light and it gave me cosmic power but it also drove me mad I killed thousands and nearly destroyed my universe before it destroyed me before I came here." Marvel comics Starscream finished.

"Well now we know what the underbase is but how does it fit into the message on the datapad?" Asked Arcee.

"I can answer that question because I think I've been setting on the sidelines long enough." Said the Cloaked Bot who stepped forward and took his clock off.

Everything stood in shock at the face of the bot under the cloak.

"I don't believe it!" Said Knock Out starting at the Cloaked Bot's face and seeing that it was his own looking back at him. "Your me?"

"I'm you from the future a bad future where we failed to stop Unicron the future wasn't kind to me." Future Knock Out explained looking at his miss matched frame.

"What happened to you?" Knock Out asked his future self.

"Unicron and surviving on a post apocalyptic Cybertron but Victor Prime sent me back to try to fix things and now I'm here to help stop Unicron." Future Knock Out told them.
