The team was getting ready to go to Cybertron to stop Quintessa from freeing Unicron. All but Ratchet who was staying behind with the humans and Arcee who still hadn't regained consciousness.

Knock Out didn't really want to leave her but he wanted to help stop Unicron from being released blaming himself for Quintessa getting the container. And he wanted to make Quintessa pay for forcing him to hurt Arcee and using him like that.

He was currently standing next to Arcee's berth. "I'm going to Cybertron to help stop that witch from letting Unicron out." He told her wishing she would say something back to him. "I'm gonna make that monster pay for making me do this."

Just then Director Swan walked over to where Knock Out was standing.

"I'm sorry for everything I did to you and all I put you through." She apologized to Knock Out.

"It's OK I heard about your husband from Agent Fowler that must be hard I understand how grief can blind you I lost my best friend during the war." Knock Out told her. "You blamed transformers for your husband and I blamed humans for Breakdown." He added. "I mean I know Arachnid was the one who killed him but it was MECH who tried to take him apart and their leader who put on his body like a suit."

"Just don't let what happened to her blind you when your on Cybertron up against Quintessa." Director Swan told him looking at Arcee laying on the berth. "Don't do anything stupid that will get you killed she'll want you to came back in one piece."

"I don't plan on getting killed anytime soon." Knock Out told her as he went to where the others were about to go through a space bridge they had just put together.

It only took a few moments to get it online then everyone went through it but the humans and Ratchet who stayed to tend to Arcee who Knock Out took one last look at before following the others through the space bridge and to Cybertron.

Upon arriving on Cybertron they ended up fighting the Decepticons who were under Quintessa's control. And could see Quintessa who had the container and was heading for the body they had built for Unicron. It was huge they had actually built it the size of a planet. And she was about to let Unicron's spark out to go into it.

"We must not let Quintessa release Unicron she is your primary target stop her and get the container no matter the cost!" Said Optimus Prime over the com-link.

Then they all went after Quintessa but were having to fight brainwashed Decepticons she kept sending at them. "Decepticons defend me do not let the Autobots interfere!" Quintessa ordered them. And then everyone became locked in combat.

Quintessa was getting ready to open the container. And Knock Out saw what she was doing and drove at her in his vehicle mode. Starscream also changed to his corvette mode having thought of a plan.

Suddenly Starscream drove at Quintessa and cranked the volume of his radio to full blast playing music.

"Will someone please stop that noise!" Quintessa complained not being able to think straight with the music being played so loud and that close to her. Because Starscream was almost right next to her when he started blasting his radio. And it was distracting her as planned.

But she used her power to lift Starscream's corvette mode and started slamming him into the ground. This forced him to change back to his cybertronian mode.

"Stupid seeker did you really think you could stop me when I was able to control a Prime with my power what made you think you had a chance?" Quintessa mocked him. But Starscream suddenly started laughing.

"My goal was not to stop you." Starscream told her in a gloating tone. "I drove over here to destract you."

Quintessa turned around to try to see what the seeker was talking about. And turned her head just in time for Knock Out who ramped his vehicle mode off a small cliff to land and spin one of his tires that hit her right in the face.

Then he transformed as he hit the ground and used his feet to jump up doing a back flip and kicked her in the same place his tire had just hit.

That was for Arcee he growled as he quickly grabbed the container. And ran off with it. Quintessa took off after him. And Starscream was flying after Quintessa firing at her to keep her from catching Knock Out.

But Starscream kept missing because she was moving around so much he couldn't get a lock on her and was afraid if she moved wrong when he fired at her there was a chance he could miss her and hit Knock Out since the red medic was just a little ways ahead of Quintessa.

Knock Out didn't even have time to transform because Quintessa was right behind him and he couldn't afford to risk dropping the container.

But suddenly Quintessa used her powers to trip him. Then went over to him and started to grab the container from him. But he was trying desperately to hang on to it.

And Quintessa was so close to Knock Out that if Starscream tried to shoot her he would be hit too.

"I could take control of you and have you hand over the container but I have a better idea to make you pay for that little attack on me." Quintessa hissed.

Then she touched Knock Out's face as he tried to struggle but his body suddenly went limp and his optics became dull and a blank look appeared on his face. Then she grabbed the container that he let go of.

"Knock Out!" Starscream yelled seeing his friend suddenly become deathly still. Then ran over and started shaking him but the red transformer didn't respond. Starscream could tell that Knock Out was still alive became his optics were dull but still had a faint glow.

"Knock Out wake up!" Starscream shouted at him as he continued to shake him. "Knock Out come on snap out of it!" Please snap out of it!" He begged as he frantically tried to revive Knock Out.

While Quintessa watch with a smirk on her face.

"What did you do to Knock Out Quintessa?" Cried Starscream who sounded both angry and grief stricken. "Whatever you did undo it now!"

"You see I can do more then control a cybertronian's processor I can also make one shutdown." Quintessa explained. "And you see once done it can not be reversed."

"He was my best friend and you just killed him!" Starscream growled as he started firing his missals at Quintessa as coolant tears rolled down his face. But she used her power to make them miss.

"He's not dead just as good as dead because he'll never be able to speck, move or even think again." Quintessa said to Starscream and then started laughing.

This made Starscream mad Quintessa had just turned Knock Out into an empty shell and was laughing like she thought it was funny. His friend was gone and it was just like some joke to her. Starscream continued to shoot at her now in a rage.

Then Quintessa took the container and was going to free Unicron. Starscream flew after her not about to let Quintessa win since Knock Out had just lost everything trying to stop her.

Quintessa opened the container and Unicron's spark entered the body she and the brainwashed Decepticons had made him.

"No!" Starscream yelled seeing that he was to late.

"I'm free again now the universe will tremble and the destruction of Cybertron is at hand!" Unicron bellowed.

"Yes master the universe will be ours now." Said Quintessa.

"No the universe will be mine." Unicron hissed firing a beam of energy at Quintessa that destroyed her instantly.

"Now I'll destroy you as well!" Unicron said as he fire another beam of energy at Optimus and Megatron.

But the two were suddenly pushed out of the way. And they saw Starscream get hit and destroyed as his body was vaporized.

"No!" Both Optimus and Megatron yelled seeing Starscream killed right in front of them.

"We have to regroup to stop Unicron!" Optimus told them as they all headed through the ground bridge.

"No I'm going to make him pay for that!" Yelled Megatron.

"No Megatron he'll kill you too." Optimus told him. "And that's not what Starscream would want."

"We'll stop him but first we need a plan." Optimus told Megatron. "For the universe is at stake." The prime added.

To Be Continued.

Yeah that just happened.
