Later that day Arcee and Smokescreen went to Night Rain's house to rescue Starscream and saw that she wasn't home right now.

"She must have gone out for something." Said Smokescreen noticing Night Rain wasn't home.

"Now's the perfect time to look for Starscream." Arcee told him as the two Autobots made there way to the house.

"I was here the other day and I heard banging from the basement Night Rain told me it was cybercats but I bet it was Starscream banging for help." Smokescreen said having put it together.

"Poor Starscream I just left him there I should have known it wasn't cybercats I can't believe I let a friend down like that." Smokescreen added hanging his helm.

"It wasn't your fault Smokescreen she tricked you and what matters is we're getting him out of here now." Arcee reassured him.

"OK I'm going in to look for him." Smokescreen told her as he kicked the door in.

"I'll stand watch in case Night Rain gets back." Arcee agreed knowing it would be a good idea to have a look out.

Then Smokescreen went inside to get Starscream. He quickly located the door to the basement that had a padlock on it. So Smokescreen blasted it down.

Then rushed down the stairs.

Meanwhile Starscream opened his optics after hearing the blast. He wanted to cry out to whoever was there but was so weak he couldn't speck or even raise his head up.

He could barely even keep his optics open. The poor seeker could only lay there feeling weak, spent and completely out of it as he heard pedsteps approaching.

"Starscream!" Smokescreen said when he spotted the seeker strapped down on the berth with an IV in his servo and his optics only half open. "Oh man your really drugged up."

"Don't worry I'll be right back." Smokescreen told the seeker before running up the stairs to tell Arcee that he found him.

Starscream managed to move his servo trying to literally reach out to the race car being so dopped up that everything sounded slurred and impossible to understand and the poor seeker thought he was being abandoned and trying to beg Smokescreen not to leave him there.

A few minutes later Smokescreen came back with Bulkhead. After Smokescreen told Arcee he'd found Starscream they received a call that the ground bridge had been fix and called in the rest of the team.

Smokescreen quickly undid the restraints while Bulkhead lefted Starscream off the berth and they carried him upstairs and out the door where there was a ground bridge waiting to get them to the hospital.

Starscream blacked out as soon as they crossed through it.
_                                                                    

Later Starscream woke up in a hospital room with a start.

"It's OK your safe in the hospital now and we'll make sure she doesn't hurt you again." Ratchet told him. The medic had brought Knock Out there as soon as the ground bridge was working to have him checked over to make sure the red mech didn't have any damage he missed.

Starscream relaxed after realizing he was safe now. "Thanks for getting me out of there guys." He said seeing all the Autobots and even a few vehicons had come to see him all having been concerned for him.

"Your lucky she was giving you an unsafe dose of sedatives if they hadn't gotten you out when they did you could have died from an overdose." Ratchet explained.

"And your digits might be sore for a few days but should heal on their own." Ratchet finished. And also give Starscream Rung's number in case he ever needed to talk to the psychiatrist knowing after what he just went through the seeker might need to talk to a therapist about it.

Then everyone came in to visit with him. And Starscream was thrilled to learn Knock Out was alive and would also make a full recovery. And surprised to learn that Ratchet and Knock Out were father and son. And Smokescreen had found Knock Out's energon prob in Night Rain's basement and gave it back to him.

"I'm sorry she attack you." Starscream apologized to the Austin Martin feeling like it was his fault that Night Rain had almost killed him.

"That wasn't your fault Starscream." Knock Out told his best friend. "That femme is beyond sick and twisted your the victim here."

"And part of me is glad it happened because I got to finally find out who my sire is." Knock Out smiled. "Though the damage to my finish and near death experience I could have done with out."

"I'm just glad your OK." Starscream told him. Having thought his best friend was dead and feeling relieved that he was alive and healing.

Then Ratchet reported that Starscream could go home anytime but told the seeker to take it easy. And they told him that the Wreckers were currently steaked out at Night Rain's house ready and waiting to apprehend her as soon as she came home.

"The sooner they get her the better." Starscream told knowing he'd feel better when she was behind bars and couldn't harm anyone else.

So Starscream went home just wanted to relax in his own house. Knock Out went back to Ratchet's place because after learning that Ratchet was his sire both medics wanted to catch up on lost time.

And Starscream was happy for them and kind of glad because he was tired after his ordeal and just wanted to go home and get some rest.
_                                                                     

Later that night Starscream could sleep because he kept having nightmares that he was back in Night Rain's basement or that she was killing all his friends right in front of him.

So he ended up getting up and having some energon and started watching tv trying to get his mind off things.

Until a show about a stalker came on and Starscream couldn't hit the off button on the remote fast enough. And decided to read for awhile instead.

Then he heard a crash from outside and the power suddenly went out. Then Starscream actived his com-link only to be met with static.

Starscream's optics widened. He had a really bad feeling about this first the crash then the power going out and now his com-link was down.

The seeker quickly actived his missiles ready to defend himself. Since he currently had no way to call for help.

To Be Continued.

Hope this chapter turned out OK. We're almost to the end now. I'll try to have the next chapter and the epilogue up next. In the meantime feel free to send feedback.
