Knock Out was up working on something in the med bay when Arcee walked in.

"I couldn't rest after the day we had early so I thought I'd get a head start on some work." Knock Out said When he heard Arcee enter the med bay. "Guess you couldn't rest ether?" Knock Out didn't look up from what he was doing as he spoke.

"Energon." Arcee suddenly hissed then Knock Out saw the reflection of Arcee with a tube extended from her mouth about to suck his energon through a mirror that was on the wall.

"You were bitten!" Knock Out yelled in horror as he managed to jump out of the way just in time to avoid being bitten and infected with the terrorcon virus as well. But Arcee continued to go after Knock Out.

"Arcee please don't do this." Knock Out begged. "You have to fight it." But the only reply he got was "Energon."

Knock Out started to use his drill to defend himself but stopped he couldn't hurt Arcee. Of all the times to have left his energon prob in his room.

Arcee saw him hesitate and pounced forward. But Knock Out managed to dodge again and not a moment to soon but not as smoothly. He ended up tripping and hitting the floor hard and now Arcee was right over him trying to suck out his energon.

Knock Out kept moving from side to side to avoid having his energon drained and being turned into a terrorcon but she had him pinned down and was trying to hold him still.

Knock Out was trying desperately to avoid being turned into a terrorcon but it was looking hopeless. Then as a last ditch effort he grabbed the legs of a table with medical tools on it and flipped it over causing everything to fall to the floor.

Arcee jumped back to dodge and Knock Out took this moment to flee and tried to exit the med bay but she shot him in the leg and he fell to the floor a second time.

"No Arcee stop!" Knock Out pleaded as she walked over to him preparing to suck his energon the red medic closed his optics knowing this was it.

When suddenly electricity went through Arcee's frame and she fell to the floor unconscious. Knock Out opened his optics and was relieved to see Ratchet who had seen what was going on from the cameras Ultra Magnus had put up after everything that had gone down lately they had decided to keep them on a live feed which in this case had been a wise choice.

The first thing Ratchet did after Arcee hit the floor was put a pear of stasis cuffs on her to restrain her tell they could figure out what to do. Then he rushed over to Knock Out and helped him up.

"Are you ok?" Ratchet asked the cherry colored mech.

"Yes I think so." Knock Out answered. "My leg hurts and my poor finish is a mess but nothing that can't be fix."

Ratchet looked him over and was glad to see that he wasn't bitten and other then his leg and some scratches and a few dents hadn't suffered any damage. Then Ratchet handed Knock Out his energon prob that he had gotten out of the red medic's room and used on Arcee.

"I think you should probably keep this on you form now on." Ratchet suggested.

"Good idea." Said Knock Out. "Now how do we help Arcee?"

"Hopefully between the two of us we can figure out a cure." Ratchet told him.

"We have to." Knock Out told him. "We have to save Arcee.

The two of them strapped Arcee to a medical berth so when she came to she wouldn't hurt herself or anyone else. Then got to work trying to find a way to cure her.

Meanwhile Optimus, Bumblebee and Bulkhead were watching Megatron and Predaking duke it out. They decided this was their chance to get Steeljaw and Starscream to safety.

So hurried to where the two cons were hiding. And Bumblebee helped Steeljaw by using his Decepticon hunter to provide cover while Bulkhead carried Starscream who was still out cold.

Then Bumblebee noticed Optimus wasn't there. Then spotted him trying to break up the fight between Megatron and Predaking. Bumblebee knew Optimus well enough to know the Prime was trying to stop Megatron and Predaking from destroying one another.

"Predaking, Megatron we can still settle this peacefully." Optimus tried to reason with them.

"No if there's anyone I want to destroy as much as Starscream it's Megatron." Shouted Predaking as he transformed back into his dragon mode and unleashed a blast of fire.

Bumblebee, Bulkhead and Steeljaw were watching the fight go down wanting to help Optimus but knew they wouldn't stand a chance against both Megatron and Predaking.

"This is Bumblebee we need a ground bridge." Bumblebee yelled into his com-link wanting to get Starscream and Steeljaw to safety and some back up to help Optimus. But no one was answering.

Bulkhead had set Starscream down to wait for the ground bridge and suddenly the seeker opened his optics and looked at a certain area as if he saw something. Steeljaw noticed this and went over to check on him.

Then Steeljaw suddenly ran over to where Megatron and Predaking were fighting and Optimus was still trying to break it up to no avail.

"Steeljaw what are you doing?" Yelled Bumblebee.

"He's lost it." Cried Bulkhead.

"No you have to stop fighting!" Steeljaw yelled at them. "If you don't it could be crushed." "You might destroy it." This confused everyone and Megatron and Predaking stopped fighting to hear why he'd run out in the middle of their battle.

"Explain Decepticon." Predaking ordered him after changing back to his bot mode.

"What is it we might destroy?" Asked Megatron.

"An egg." Steeljaw explained pointing to a round object near where they had been fighting.

Predaking walked over to it and inspected it and it was in fact an egg and not just any.

"An unborn Prediacon." Exclaimed Predaking. "But how is this possible." "Unless there must be more of my kind somewhere on Cybertron?" "I must find them." "Thank you for saving it."

"Don't thank me Starscream was the one who spotted it and told me where it was." Steeljaw explained.

"Then it seems I owe you seeker." Predaking said turning to Starscream who struggled to his feet.

"I'm sorry for all I did to you and for destroying the other two Predacons." Starscream told him.

"Your forgiven if not for you pointing it out this egg would have been destroyed and with it any chance of finding the rest of my kind I will go look for them now but if any of you ever need anything find me and ask." Predaking told them before flying off in search of other Predacons gently carrying the egg with him.

"I guess the fight is off." Said Megatron. Who then noticed Starscream give him an angry glare.

Starscream started to open his mouth to say something but suddenly collapsed and fell to the ground unconscious.

Bumblebee went over to check Starscream's condition and saw he was leaking energon from a wound in his midsection.

"He needs medical attention." Bumblebee informed the others. The called for a ground bridge and this time Fixit answered and sent one to them right away and to everyone's surprise Megatron insisted on going with them. Then everyone went through the ground bridge.

Meanwhile at the base Knock Out and Ratchet managed to cure Arcee after they managed to successfully make an antidote for the terrorcon virus and she woke up still strapped to the berth and saw what a mess the med bay was in.

"Guys why am I strapped down and what happened to the med bay?" She asked then she remembered discovering the bite on her leg and blacking out on the way to the med bay to report it. Then something about Knock Out.

"Oh no I was infected with the terrorcon virus and attacked you guys and did this didn't I." Arcee told them afraid of what damage she might have done.

"Don't worry we cured you and we're all fine now." Knock Out explained to her as he unstrapped her from the berth and help her up.

Then she noticed Knock Out had some dents and scratches on him and his leg had a wound that had been welded and was clearly caused by being shot. "Did I do this?" She asked him.

"You weren't yourself." He tried to reassure her. He had planned to fix his damage before she saw it but had been so worried about her and intent on figuring out a cure. He had forgotten about it. The only reason his leg was welded was because Ratchet had insisted on fixing it. But Knock Out had refused any further treatment till he knew Arcee was going to be OK.

"I'm so sorry Knock Out." She told the red medic giving him a hug. Then they heard a ground bridge and the others all ran into the med bay and put Starscream on the berth where Ratchet got to work.

"Looks like rush hour." Said Knock Out.

But then Ratchet told Knock Out to go fix the rest of his damage before helping out which Knock Out didn't argue with because the damage to his finish had been driving him nuts and he knew Ratchet could handle it till he got back. Ratchet got to work trying to fix Starscream. While Knock Out went to patch himself up and Arcee left to check something.

Bumblebee ran into Rattrap and asked him what he was doing in the base and he explained the reason the com-link didn't work was Grimlock accidentally knocked down the dish with his tail then he and Sideswipe tried to fix it and only made it worse so called him and he fixed it.

Bumblebee wasn't a bit surprised it sound like something Grimlock and Sideswipe would do.
_                                                        

Knock Out was on his way to the med bay to help repair Starscream after he finished fixing his own damage. But was stopped by Arcee in the hall way.

"Knock Out why didn't you fight back harder?" She asked him. "I could have killed you."

It took him a moment to figure out what she was talking about then he realized she had watch the camera footage of when she attacked him. "I didn't want to hurt you." He explained.

"Knock Out if anything like that ever happens again I want you to promise me you won't hold back like that again I want you to do whatever you need to to save yourself." She told him.

Before he could protest she turned and went to her room. So he went to the med bay and arrived just it time for Ratchet to come out and report Starscream was going to be fine. Much to everyone's relief.

Then Bumblebee decided to ask Steeljaw what went down before he sent them that distress call he wanted to know what happened to the two cons to put them in that situation.

To Be Continued.
