Black Shadow went to capture Soundwave and saw the mech in question gathering energon and attacked him.

Soundwave put up a good fight but was down after a few hits. Black Shadow assumed it was because the slender mech was low on energon. (But didn't know Soundwave had intentionally let himself be captured as part of the Autobot's plan to save Megatron.)

And he didn't see Soundwave deploy Laserbeak to follow them in addition to a tracker he had planted on him so the Autobots would be able to see where they went.

Black Shadow was taking Soundwave back to his hide out. While the silent mech let his body stay slack pretending to be unconscious.
_                                                                       

Meanwhile the Autobots were pleased that the plan was working and were currently tracking Soundwave's position and getting ready to send a ground bridge once they found Megatron.

Suddenly they heard. "Ahhhh!"

"Hey what's with the screaming?" Asked Bulkhead.

"Oh Knock Out is just showing Starscream some horror movies." Wheeljack explained. "Sounds like he's enjoying them."

Everyone had to laugh at that. Then they got serious again and focused on the mission at hand to save Megatron.
_                                                                       

Black Shadow brought Soundwave to his hide out then propped Megatron who was still immobilized against the wall so he could see his former third in command.

"No please let him go!" Megatron begged not wanting to see the most loyal of his former Decepticon army and one of his closest friends suffer.

"Silence!" Black Shadow hissed as he started to slap Megatron only for a tentacle to suddenly grab his servo before it made contact.

Soundwave was suddenly standing on his peds ready to fight Black Shadow. And the two mechs went at it.

But Soundwave had one advantage and it's name was Laserbeak. The minicon kept flying into him and firing shots at him.

Then a ground bridge opened and the Autobots came through it. And seeing that he was now out numbered Black Shadow fire his arm cannon at Megatron which distracted everyone so he managed to escape.

After see that he was gone they all rushed to check on Megatron. Who was badly energon from not only the blast but from all the damage he had taken throughout his captivity.

They wasted no time getting him to the medbay where Ratchet and Knock Out who they called in and he told Starscream they'd have to finish their movie another time. Much to the seeker's relief.

Both medic's got to work trying to save Megatron. Who looked really bad. He was covered in dents, scratchs and some very deep cuts. The worst injury was where Black Shadow stabbed him he had hit the cybertronian equivalent of a spine which was the reason for Megatron being immobilized.

And his T-cog had been removed and they hadn't been able to find it. But it wouldn't matter if he was paralyzed. Because Ratchet and Knock Out were trying their best but their was no guarantee they'd be able to fix him.
_                                                                       

Everyone stayed in the waiting room Starscream who was doing better insisted on staying in the waiting room too.

Everyone keep asking him if he was OK or needed to lay down since he was still recuperating himself. But he was worried about Megatron.

A few moments later Knock Out and Ratchet came out and said Megatron was going to live but they didn't know if he'd ever be able to move again until he recovered enough to try to get up.

They were all glad Megatron would survive but were sad that he might be paralyzed and even if he could move they didn't know what Black Shadow had done with his T-cog.

Then Starscream suprise everyone by offering to donate his.

"Starscream are you crazy you'll be a seeker incapable of flight." Knock Out asked him. Knowing to a seeker giving up their wings was almost a death sentence.

"I survived without my T-cog before and I can do it again." Starscream told him.

"Starscream you are keeping your T-cog I am donating mine." Soundwave said to the seeker.

"Soundwave I can't ask you to do that." Starscream told the slender mech.

Then the two spent several minutes arguing over who was going to give Megatron their T-cog if he needed it. Until Knock Out told them it could wait because they didn't know if Megatron was going to be paralyzed or not and if that was the case a T-cog wouldn't do him any good.

Then they all went back to see him. He was laying on the berth still very weak from everything he'd been through and not recovered enough to move though he could speak just fine.

"Thanks you for saving me." He told them.

And they all told him they'd do it anytime. And he spoke to Optimus and Soundwave for several minutes.

Then it was Starscream's turn to come back and Megatron was thrilled to see that the seeker was alive, OK and recovering as well.

"I'm so sorry for everything." Megatron apologized to his former second in command. "If I hadn't tackled Black Shadow when I did you wouldn't have been hurt as badly as you were."

"It's ok I know you were trying to save me and as for everything that happened during the war that's all in the past." Starscream told him accepting his apology.

Then they all left so he could rest. But they all had something on their minds. Black Shadow had escaped so would he try again?

Optimus called the police and told them to keep an eye out for Black Shadow and he told the Autobots to be on the look out for him as well so hopefully they could bring him to justice and he wouldn't hurt anyone else.

But right now everyone was tired from the day they had and just wanted to rest and take it easy. And they all hope Megatron would be able to move again once he recovered a bit and that they would find a way to get him a T-cog that didn't involve Starscream or Soundwave having to give up their. Knowing Megatron would never accept that.

To Be Continued.
