Chapter 3
Warning this chapter might make you cry.
Meanwhile Knock Out had just returned to Velocitron with Blurr who had met him at the space bridge having decide to go there for a race and they decide to just head there together thinking it would be fun to race each other.
Once they got to the track Blurr and Knock Out arrived just in time to take part in a race that was about to start and both mechs went to the starting line.
Knock Out spotted some youngings who were in the crowd to watch the race he couldn't help smiling at how excited they were acting and knew it was because on the speed planet Velocitron all the youngings were excited to grow up and become racers and Knock Out remembered how much he loved to watch the races as a youngling before he had grown up and become old enough to participate in them.
Knock Out saw one of the younglings a little yellow and orange mech waving at them so waved back and saw the younging smile happy one of the racers had responded to him as his bright blue optics light up, then Knock Out winked at him before transforming and revving his engines for them and could tell from the big smile on all the kids faceplates that that had made their day.
Then the racing started and Knock Out was having fun as he spun his tires and was quickly gaining on Blurr who was currently in the lead, Until he suddenly heard screaming and he and Blurr both stopped in their tracks to see what was going on.
They looked off the race track and saw bots were standing on the streets looking up at something in the sky.

Meanwhile on cybertron Team Prime was rushing to the space bridge where they had set up a hub after repairing the scrap bridge so they could not only stay in contact with all the other colonie planets but also know if there was trouble on any of them because they could send a transmission to let them know they needed help.
After Ulchtar had told them Unicron was in their universe they decide to rush there to try to pinpoint the chaos bringer.
Just then Optimus Prime answered the communication console that went off.
"This is Moonracer there's an anomaly over Velocitron I repeat there's an anomaly above Velocitron!" Moonracer's voice came over the console.
"Wait that's where Knock Out said he was going earlier!" Smokescreen told them.
"Wait Knock Out's there?" Asked Starscream.
"Moonracer can you send us a video feed to show us what's going on?" Asked Ratchet and everyone could hear the unease in his voice.
Then Moonracer switch them to a video feed and showed them the giant planet that was in the sky about Velocitron.
"Oh no is that?!" Ghost Rose started to ask before Ulchtar cut her off.
"Unicron he's on Velocitron you need to evacuate the planet now!" Ulchtar screamed to Moonracer over the console.
"Oh no!" Thought Starscream as he stared at the video feed as his wings dropped as the realization that Knock Out was on Velocitron the planet Unicron was currently hovering over, and the last words he had spoken to the red medic the last time he saw him. "Fine I hope Unicron destroys you first!" Started playing over and over again in the seeker's mind.

Meanwhile back on Velocitron Knock Out and Blurr who had both been looking at the planet about Velocitron in shock where brought back to the present reality when two things happened at once,
Override and Moonracer started shouting over the loud speakers (that were all over the tracks and city in case of an emergency.) telling everyone to evacuate to the space bridge.
And more frighteningly the planet (Unicron) started using his gravitational pull and began sucking up buildings, pieces of racetracks and even some unlucky bots who were to close or failed to get away in time.
Velocitron had now fallen into chaos bots were panicking and pushing each other down, tripping over one another and even crashing in their alt modes.
But not everyone was thinking of themselves there were some bots who were stopping to help others evaluate, Moonracer, Override, Blurr and Knock Out among them.
Knock Out was now running towards the space bridge and saw Moonracer helping some elderly bots through the space bridge while Override was helping a family with protoforms, (the cybertronian equivalent of newborns) Who Knock Out was glad to see made it through the space bridge.
Blurr was busy putting his super speed to good use helping carry and shove bots through the space bridge to safety while Team Prime stayed by the space bridge one the Cybertron side helping the Velocitronians as they came through.
Knock Out was half way to the space bridge when he heard a yelp and looked back and to his horror he spotted the same youngling he had waved at and revved his engines for earlier who was on the ground having tripped or something.
Knock Out didn't waste a second turning around and was rushing to help him, And he could see Unicron's gravitational pull about to reach the youngling.
"Please help don't let it take me!" The youngling cried out in terror tears streaming from his optics.
Knock Out was inches from grabbing him but wasn't fast enough only managing to barely brush his digits across the younging's before he was sucked away.
"No!" Knock Out screamed after the younging dropping to his knees having failed him, Knock Out could feel Unicron's pull trying to suck him up next and knew he wouldn't be able to get out of the way so close his optics waiting for the end.
But suddenly felt something else grab him Blurr, Blurr quickly ran Knock Out away from Unicron's gravitational pull and shoved him through the space bridge but to the red medic's horror the blue speedster was pulled back through the space bridge as Unicron was now right on the other side of it forcing them to close it.
"No Blurr! We need to go back we need to get them back!" Knock Out cried out and there was no missing the pure heartbreak and dispear in his voice which continued to crack.
"Anyone still on that side of the bridge is gone there's nothing we can do for them now." Prowl informed him.
"No I should've moved faster! I should've held tighter! I failed them I Failed all of them! It should've been me! It should've been me instead!" Knock Out sobbed as his body was trembling with sparks coming off it.
"Knock Out calm yourself!" Ratchet yelled not in anger but deep concern. "Your tearing yourself apart!"
Ratchet could tell the red medic had gone into extreme shock and didn't even appear to hear him and if he didn't do something Knock Out was either going to suffer a spark attack or full system crash.
Wasting no time Ratchet got a syringe and administered a sedative, Knock Out didn't even feel the shot but slumped backwards as Ratchet caught him then gently laid him on the floor until Bulkhead could help move him to a berth, Ratchet put a hand on the younger medic's shoulder to offer some comfort feeling bad for him.
Ratchet remembered when he thought Cybertron had been lost during the war and knew the pain of losing a world and understood the pain Knock Out was feeling right now as the red medic gazed up at him before drifting under the sedation then finally Bulkhead got there and took Knock Out to a berth.
"He needs rest and time lots of time." Ratchet said sadly.
"No just like mine." Ulchtar thought seeing that Unicron had destroyed another planet.
Suddenly everyone was interrupted when they heard a commotion coming from the other side of the room and rushed over to see what was going on hearing someone say something about a fight.
And saw that Starscream had just decked a bot named Ransack and Optimus, Arcee and Bumblebee rushed to break it up and pull them apart.
"What is the meaning of this?" Asked Optimus.
"Why don't you ask him what he did?!" Starscream hissed glaring at Ransack.
"I evacuated what I had to do to survive." Ransack shot back.
"I saw you collide with that youngling on the video feed the one Knock Out ran back to save!" Starscream screamed at him.
"Well I had to get out of there." Ransack tried to defend himself.
"You looked right at that youngling then left him there!" Starscream roared at him. "You were close enough to help him and all you had to do was grab his hand or pick him up but you left him to die and almost got Knock Out killed and got Blurr killed!"
"Optimus!" Prowl called from across the room and they all walked over where the cop car showed the the footage from the video feed transmission and zoomed in on some of the footage and sure enough Ransack had collided with the youngling then ran off instead of helping him.
As soon as the footage finished playing both Arcee and Ghost Rose started beating Ransack after seeing what he did and Override and Optimus both gave him separate punishments making him do community service on cybertron and cleaning duty at the space bridge.

A few minutes later Ulchtar was walking through the hallway looking for Ratchet when he saw Starscream with his wings down looking almost like he was about to cry setting outside the room where Knock Out was still resting.
"I'm so sorry for all of this." Ulchtar apologized to his counterpart.
"It's not your fault." Starscream told him.
"Yes it is I'm the one Unicron followed to your universe." Ulchtar replied sadly. "Galvatron and Nemesis Prime told Unicron where I am and now he wants to destroy all the planets in this universe just like he did mine."
"He used the connection I had with him to force me to listen to their screams and he said Velocitron is just the beginning he's gonna take it slow and wait between planets so we'll fear which one will be next or as he put it play with his food just to torture us." He added looking like he was about to cry.
"He only after you because since you have that connection with him he knows your our best bet at finding a way to stop him." Starscream tried to reassure his counterpart.
"And at least your actually able to help with something all I do is mess up, do you know the real reason I got into that fight earlier because what Ransack did to that youngling earlier isn't a far cry from what I would've done during the war I saw a part of myself in him that I hate and that's what made me snap,"
"At least your trying to do the right thing Ulchtar all I've done is try to throw others under the bus to save myself, The mech laying in that room right now during the war he was the closest thing I had to a friend and I tried to blame him for something to protect myself then when he did the right thing I told him I hoped Unicron destroyed him first and it came true though he didn't destroy him physically, thank goodness he took his home planet from him!" Starscream finished now sobbing.
Starscream felt like he had wished that on Knock Out then gotten his wish even though he had never really wanted it, He never really wanted any harm to come to Knock Out the seeker had been angry at the red medic when he said that to him but not wanted more then anything to take it back, And was actually setting out there waiting for him to wake up so he could go apologize but wasn't sure how or even if the red spots car would want to see him.
"Hey I haven't exactly been doing a good job on my mission, Maybe messing up is just what we Starscreams do, And you should try to talk to your friend when he wakes up because after what he just went through he could probably use a friend right now." Ulchtar said to Starscream.
"Ok I will." Starscream agreed wiping away his coolant tears.
Then Ghost Rose entered and started talking to Starscream.
So Ulchtar left to look for Ratchet again because he wanted to ask him for help fixing his multivercal travel device thinking since Unicron seemed to be after him if he could leave this part of the multiverse and let Unicron know it without knowing where he was going maybe the chaos bringer would try chase after him and leave this universe alone, Because he didn't want anymore planet to end up like Velocitron and all the planets in his universe did.
As he turned the next corner Arcee suddenly came over and slapped him.
"Why did you do it why did you have to lead Unicron to this universe all those bots who died on Velocitron today died because of you because Unicron is after you!" Arcee hissed at him. "Knock Out is traumatized, millions of bots are dead, and others just lost their home planet all because a different universe's version of Unicron followed you here."
"No matter what universe your from you always ruin everything you come into contact with." She finished then walked away.
Ulchtar watched her go then looked down in shame knowing she was right he did mess things up.
To Be Continued.
