Meanwhile the others had reached the Peaceful Tyranny and the Autobots were now fighting the DJD. While Megatron went to look for Starscream.

After running down several hallways he finally found the brig and the he spotted Starscream laying in a cell which worried him because it was hard to tell if the seeker was dead or alive.

Megatron quickly blasted the door of the cell down and rush to check and see if the seeker was alright. But what he saw after getting a closer look horrified him.

Starscream's wings had been ripped off and his back was still leaking a large amount of energon and some circuitry was exposed. And he could tell the seeker had been sedated.

But he saw Starscream's optics starting to come back online as the seeker was slowly starting to regain consciousness. As his optics suddenly widened in terror.

"Easy Starscream I'm getting you out of here." Megatron told his former second in command who was now alert but still dazed. "I'm so sorry we didn't get to you sooner."

"It's ok..." Starscream trailed off as his optics started to dim and blink.

"Starscream you need to stay online!" Megatron ordered the former Decepticon air commander. He was afraid if Starscream went into stasis he might not come out of it.

"I'll try.. But I'm..really tired." The seeker replied weakly. "They took.. Mmy wing.." He almost sobbed.

"I'll try to get them back once your safe in the medbay." Megatron told him.

"You can't the DJD destroyed them." Starscream explained having now become a bit more alert.

But then Starscream realized he couldn't move much to both his and Megatron's horror. Then Megatron saw why when the DJD had taken his wings they had ended up breaking his spine.

For all they knew Starscream might be permanently paralyzed. Even if Starscream could be fixed it was impossible for him to fight, flie or even move right now.

Megatron started carrying him to where the ground bridge had been left open. "Hold on Starscream I'm getting you to the medbay and I'm sorry for everything." He told the seeker.

"It's ok It was the DJD who hurt me this time now you." Starscream said to him.

But Megatron still felt guilty having been the one who trained and organized the DJD to begin with. And he still secretly felt bad for all the beatings he'd given Starscream in the past. So now he wanted more then anything to get him to safety.

He made it to the ground bridge and noticed Starscream had gone unconscious again do to the amount of energon he'd lost.

Megatron quickly handed him off to Ratchet who got to work trying to save the seeker.

"I'll be back after I correct a mistake I made long ago." Megatron said as he went back through the ground bridge with his blazing red optics glaring.
_                                                                       

After Megatron had gone through the ground bridge Nickel went over and started helping Ratchet try to save Starscream.

Since she was a minicon and smaller then Ratchet or Knock Out who was currently recovering from his fight with Pet. And could reach into a lot of places they couldn't. And Fixit had gone with the others in case someone got injured.

Ratchet and Nickel were currently fixing the seeker's back.

"Oh guys I just dreamed I was a fairy." Said Knock Out as he came back online but was still under the effects of some cybertronian pain killers he'd been given.

"You saved Screamstar good for you I see your busy so I'll just leave you guys alone." Knock Out said as he went through the ground bridge and Ratchet and Nickel were both too busy working on Starscream to notice him leave.

Knock Out walked came out on the Peaceful Tyranny and walk down the hallway to where the other Autobots were fighting the DJD except for Tarn who wasn't there and Kaon who had been killed along with Pet.

Knock Out just strolled over to the battle twirling his energon prob that he'd found like it was a some kind of toy with a smile that looked like it was pasted on.

"Ooh what kind of game are we playing?" He asked.

"Wait what?" Asked Arcee who was fighting Vos.

Then Knock Out tossed his energon prob which ended up getting jammed in Tesarus's grinding pit and the DJD member was going nuts trying to get it out while being shocked as sparks flew off him.

Then it exploded knocking him out.

"Wow that was a pretty boom." Knock Out said with a twinkle in his optic.

Then he started playing music on his speakers and dancing and unknowingly beat up Vos who just happened to get hit by all his dance moves.

Then he caught one of Wheeljack's grenades and was staring at it in his servo.

"Knock Out throw it!" "Quick!" Wheeljack screamed seeing the Austin Martin was about to be blown to bits.

"Okey Dokey." Knock Out replied. "Hot potato!" He added as he tossed it to Helex who caught it without thinking right before it blew up in his face.

"Boom." Knock Out said with a smile on his faceplates. "Nap time."

Then he laid down in the middle of the floor and went into power down with his arms folded behind his helm.

"What just happened?" Asked Arcee.

"I'm not really sure." Said Bulkhead.

"I don't even think I wanna know." Bumblebee. Then he and Arcee worked together to carry Knock Out who was now snoring back to base.

While Bulkhead, Wheeljack and Grimlock along with the rest of the team took the three prisoners to the prison on Cybertron.

Except for Optimus who went to find Megatron after returning to base and learn of Starscream condition and knew the warlord would need help knowing Megatron's anger would cloud his judgment.

Optimus hurried through the ground bridge hoping he'd find Megatron before it was too late.
_                                                                        

Meanwhile Megatron had found Tarn and started fighting him. When the whole ship started to shake as if it was going to break apart and was taking blaster fire and missiles were being shot at it.

Nickel had called New Vos and told Rattrap about Starscream's current condition and he, Thundercracker and Sky Warp had called an air strike to avenge New Vos's leader.

Megatron and Tarn were still fighting to spite the ship being destroyed and explosions going off around them.

"I'll make you pay for what you've done!" Megatron bellowed. "For all the damage you've caused, bot you've scarred and lives you've taken!"

"Your one to talk the truth is you have just as much spilled energon on your servos as I do." Tarn said trying to get at the former leader of the Decepticons.

"Yes but I've learned from my past and want to make up for what I've done." Megatron countered as he continued punch Tarn.

But the leader of the DJD was no slouch and returned every hit he received. The two of the were an even match.

"That's what makes you weak you've gone soft. That seeker your so angry about how often was it you beat him within an inch of his life?" Tarn asked.

"What we did to Starscream was no different then what you did to him countless times during the war." Tarn continued. "The truth is it just upsets you if anyone breaks him other then you."

"That's not true I never touched his wings!" Megatron yelled. "And I've made up with him."

"You truly have gone soft Starscream was a weak coward who was loyal only to himself that seeker deserved worse then what he got." Tarn hissed.

"No he had changed and was a great leader to New Vos and a much better mech then either of us will ever be!" Megatron roared. "And you don't ever get to talk about him like that!" "And you certainly don't get to call him weak!"

Then Megatron delivered on hard blow to Tarn after another. Even breaking his mask.

But then Tarn smirked and tossed something at Megatrons peds the warlord looked down and saw a small shard of metal that he quickly realized was a piece of one of Starscream's wings.

"Now tell me Megatron how is that shard any different from all the shard of metal you've chipped off Starscream over the time of the war?" Tarn asked darkly with a mocking smile on his face.

That's what made Megatron completely lose it and he started beating the scrap out of Tarn.

Then Optimus got there in time to see Megatron charge at a downed Tarn. But the prime saw something Megatron didn't do to being blinded by his rage. Tarn had gotten a hold of an energon sword and was hoping Megatron would rush him.

"Megatron no!" Optimus tried to warn him but too late and Megatron felt the blade stab him through the shoulder.

Then Optimus ran over to help his friend turned enemy turned friend again. When Tarn started using his voice which had been weaponized so he could actually talk a bot to death by effecting their spark.

Unfortunately both Megatron and Optimus were being effected by it. Tarn was slowly killing them.

When all of a sudden he felt a pain in his throat. Like something or someone was gripping it. Both Optimus and Megatron were looking at him in shock.

"What...happening..to.me..?" Tarn managed to chock out.

Then he saw what Optimus and Megatron were looking at. And got the same shocked expression on his face. Standing there gripping him by the neckcables was the form of a bot who was transparent who he recognized.

"You took my wings so I'm taking your voice." The mech said before crushing his neckcables.

Then stepped aside so Megatron was able to blast Tarn with his fusion cannon. And Tarn fell through a hole that had been blasted through the ship and met his end being killed by the blast before he even hit the ground.

"Starscream?" Megatron asked recognizing the transparent form before him and Optimus.

"It felt good to be on the giving end of a neak grip for a change." He said as he started down the hallway to where the ground bridge was Optimus and Megatron followed him seeing the whole ship was crashing down. And returned to base.
_                                                                        

But upon arriving at base both Optimus and Megatron were puzzled to see Starscream or at least the transparent one was gone and Ratchet and Nickel were still performing surgery on him.

And Knock Out who had woke up now and was back to normal was now helping them.

And Optimus could have sworn he heard Ratchet say. "Thank goodness he's back."

"What's happened?" Asked Megatron.

"Well it was touch and go for awhile but Starscream is gonna make it and he won't be paralyzed we just don't know if we can restore his wings yet." Knock Out explained.

"But he gave us a scare just a few seconds ago.." Knock Out added before he just stopped talking and froze as his optics suddenly went wide. "By the Allspark what happened to you?!" He asked Megatron after having gotten a good look at him.

Then Megatron realized he still had the sword in his shoulder. "Oh would you look at that." He said almost to calmly.

Knock Out on the other hand was jumping into action rushing to treat it not understanding why Megatron was so calm and freaking out like he was the one who'd been stabbed.

But Optimus knew Megatron and understood why he wasn't bothered by the injury he had received many injuries like it fighting in the pits of Kaon in his gladiator days and in the war.

And also because he was currently worried about Starscream. Which Optimus was too. And they just hoped that between Ratchet, Knock Out and Nickel and some other medics they called in from the hospital to help they would be able to give the seeker back his wings.
