Starscream and Knock Out drove through an abandon area so they didn't have to worry about humans seeing them. It was a peaceful place with a dirt road going through a meadow so Starscream could practice using his corvette mode and he was now getting the hang of it.

First Knock Out had taught him how to drive and obey traffic signals and basic safety tips.

Then they had a race but Starscream ended up in a ditch. He was OK but the impact made his radio turn on again and it started playing rock music. And Knock Out busted out laughing while Starscream just rolled his optics in frustration. Then they went back to the scrap yard and changed back to their cybertronian modes.

"So how were the driving lessons?" Asked Bumblebee.

"I'm starting to get hang of my land based vehicle mode." Said Starscream. "But I'll be glad when my jet mode is back in working order."

"He's learning fast." Knock Out added. "But I still drove circles around him in our race."

"Yes well that's because your a grounder and have had more practice with a land based alt mode." Starscream told Knock Out. "As a seeker I prefer to be in the sky."

"Well good news I just looked at the test results from when me and Knock Out ran a diagnostic scan on your jet mode and the reason you couldn't fly was because of slight damage to your right thruster which should fortunately heal on it's own in a few days so you'll only have to keep your corvette mode till then." Ratchet explained.

"That's great I can't wait to fly again." Starscream said changing in to his corvette mode again. Then his radio came on again and started playing the Touch. "Not again!" He groaned. "I'll be glad when I get my jet mode back so I can trade this radio for wings."

Seeing that Starscream was annoyed Shayna ran over and turned his radio off for him.

"Thank you." The seeker told her.

"Your welcome." Shayna replied.

Then they saw it was getting late so everyone decide to turn in for the night.
_                                                     

Later Shayna woke up after she heard something and went outside to see what it was and ran into Starscream who had also heard it. He transformed and told her to get in his vehicle mode so he could protect her if it was a Decepticon.

Then something attacked Starscream's alt mode it was a red, white and purple femme with spider legs and a scorpion tail. Shayna was glad she was inside Starscream's alt mode because if she had been outside that thing would have had her flattened by now.

The femme kept attacking Starscream. She was trying to stab her spider legs into him and use her tail to sting him. But luckily he managed to keep using his corvette mode to drive out of the way. But did get hit a few times.

Starscream's vehicle mode was acting as a shield and taking most of the damage. But he didn't know how long he'd be able to keep this up.

And Shayna was already getting the ride of her life. He didn't want that thing to break through him or crash him into something and end up hurting her.

The Arachnid like femme hit him again knocking him into a tailspin and making his radio turn on again. This time it ended up being a good thing because it woke everyone else up and the other bots started fighting it to help them.

While everyone else was fighting the femme. Knock Out went to check on Starscream and Shayna. Shayna had just got out of Starscream's vehicle mode and was OK much to the seeker's relief. And luckily Starscream's damage had only been minor.

"And to think Holding Out for a Hero was my favorite song before it almost became the soundtrack to our doom." Shayna told Starscream jokingly.

"I'm just glad that got everyone's attention." Starscream replied. "That radio isn't so bad after all." "And is it just me or is that thing made out of the remains of Arachnid and that man made transformer Order of Gray had that me and Metalhawk took down with a scorpion tail added to it?"

Just then the femme who was actually Widow Maker stung Knock Out with it's tail and stabbed him in both shoulders with it's legs that were once Arachnid's. And was about to sting him again while it had him pinned.

But Arcee started fighting it and ended up knocking it backwards. Then she went to check on Knock Out.

"Knock Out are you OK?" She asked the downed mech.

Knock Out was dazed. That stinger on Widow Maker's tail had cyber venom and he was leaking energon from where she'd stabbed him on both his shoulders. But he came to himself enough to see that Widow Maker was about to attack Arcee from behind.

"Arcee watch out!" Knock Out yelled as he used what was left of his strength to toss himself over Arcee taking the hit for her and using his body as a shield.

Starscream saw Widow Maker attacking Knock Out and Arcee. And suddenly without thinking changed into his jet mode and flew into Widow Maker knocking her away from his friends. And managed to punch her into a stasis pod then Bumblebee activated it and she was put into stasis.

Then they ran over to check on Knock Out and Arcee. And found Arcee trying desperately to revive Knock Out who had gone into stasis lock after getting stung by Widow Maker several more times while trying to protect Arcee.

After seeing he'd been poisoned by the cyber venom Ratchet got him to the med bay.

Everyone was glad Starscream's jet mode was working again. But now they were all waiting outside the med bay worried about Knock Out.

"How is he?" Everyone asked at once when Ratchet came out.

"He had a close call but I treated his injuries and gave him an antidote for the cyber venom and he should make a full recovery in a few days." Ratchet explained much to everyone's relief. "He's awake and you can see him anytime."

Arcee went back first and suddenly they heard Knock Out yell.

"Ouch what was that for?" Knock Out asked holding his cheek where Arcee had just slapped him.

"Don't ever scar me like that again!" Arcee yelled at him. "You were almost killed!" Then she went silent for a minute. "But I'm glad your OK and thanks for saving me." She added with a smile.

"Anytime." Knock Out told her.

Then Ratchet walked in with Starscream to run a diagnostic scan on him to make sure his jet mode really was back in working order. And was happy to report that his right thruster was now completely healed so his jet mode was now back to normal.

"I am so glad to finally be rid of that corvette mode." Starscream said happy to be able to fly again. "I'm so glad to have my wings back."

"I'm happy for you Screamer." Knock Out told him. "Your better as a jet then you are as car."

"I'm a seeker so that's to be expected." Starscream explained.

"I'm just glad you got your jet mode back when you did and were able to use it to ram Widow Maker off Knock Out and Arcee when you did." Ratchet said to Starscream. "Just one more minute and Knock Out would have been killed."

"Thanks for the save Starscream." Said Knock Out.

"Your welcome." Starscream replied. "That's what friends are for right."

Just then they got a call from Cybertron. It was Hot Rod and Springer who were both battle damaged but for the most part OK.

"Optimus bad news the Decepticons showed up and they didn't find it but they were looking for the Allspark container that has Unicron's spark in it." Hot Rod told the Prime.

"It is fortunate they did not find it." Optimus told him. "If Unicron is set free then I fear both Earth and Cybertron would be at stake." "We must protect that container and not let it fall into Decepticon hands no matter the cost."
