Meanwhile Starscream had just regained consciousness and heard pedsteps coming down the hallway to his cell. And know it was Horri-Bull and Needlenose coming to kill him on Barricade's orders.

Starscream was still badly hurt from being beaten up by Horri-Bull but he had to figure out a way out of there. So he quickly thought of a plan.

As soon as Horri-Bull came in the seeker jumped him and used his talens to slash Horri-Bull in the optics Needlenose ran over to check on his friends while Starscream bolted out the door of his cell.

But Horri-Bull quickly recovered and the two ran after him. Starscream had a head start on them but didn't know how long he could keep it because to his horror he realized he was to hurt to transform and if caught there would be no way he could fight back and win.

And he was already feeling tired. His only hope was to try and lose them. And to make things worse they were a good ways away from the nearest city and his com-link wasn't working.

Meanwhile the others had gone to the hospital in Vos to see Knock Out who was now awake and doing much better now being out of danger. He was going to make a full recovery and would be back to normal after a few days of bed rest.

Both Sideswipe and Sunstreaker were glad their cousin was going to be ok and were happy to see him. And Knock Out was glad to hear they had cleared Sideswipe's name. And that Bumblebee had his memory back.

"But what about Starscream?" Asked Knock Out who was worried about the seeker.

"They still have him as far as we know." Sideswipe explained.

"He save my life by tricking them into dumping me in Vos." Knock Out told them what happened and about how Starscream provoked Horri-Bull so that he would beat him instead of the red medic.

"We have to save him." Knock Out added.

"We will but we need to find him first and you need to rest and finish recovering." Bumblebee told him. "Do you remember anything that might help us figure out where he's being held?"

"Yes I actually started regaining consciousness when they were bringing me there they had us in Darkmount." Knock Out explained.

"Then looks like that's where we're going." Said Arcee.

Then they said goodbye to Knock Out who they left to rest at the hospital and headed to Darkmount to save Starscream. And hoped it wasn't already to late.

Meanwhile Starscream was running from Needlenose and Horri-Bull and rushed up some stairs then ducked into a room to hide from them.

Then he realized where he was much to his horror. Starscream had hoped to never came back to Darkmount it held nothing but bad memories for him it was where Megatron had abused him countless times during the war when they weren't on the Nemisis.

It was also where the predacons had once cornered him and chase him with the intent to kill him and it had only be by dumb luck that he had escaped. He just hoped he would have some more of it to help him getaway from the ones who were chasing him now.

And he was currently in the same room the predacons had chased him in. But Starscream was suddenly jerked from his thoughts when he heard Horri-Bull rush in and moved just in time to avoid being charged by his bull from.

Starscream was very weak but was somehow still managing to put up a good fight. Untill one of Horri-Bull's horns stabbed him through one of his wings. Starscream managed to pull away from him but broke his wing in the process as well as Horri-Bull's horn that had been stabbed into it.

Starscream was now fighting back coolant tears of pain from having his wing broken.

But all breaking his horn did was make Horri-Bull mad and he changed at the seeker who quickly jumped out of the way and Horri-Bull ended up running off the side of Darkmount and falling to his death.

Starscream actually rushed to the side of Darkmount hoping to try to catch him but it was too late and the seeker saw his body at the bottom of Darkmount with Needlenose who had apparently spotted his best friend falling but was also to late to save him kneeling next to his body.

Starscream staggered back to the middle of the room where he slumped to the floor having used up all his strength but suddenly Barricade showed up and forced the heavily damaged seeker to his peds.

"Now time for you to die Starscream." Barricade hissed as he started forcing the seeker toward the edge of Darkmount with a blast aimed at his helm.

"Drop the blaster Barricade and get away from him!" Yelled Arcee who had just gotten there. And upon looking outside Barricade could see the other Autobots arresting Needlenose.

"No I'm starting another war so the Decepticons can have a chance to take back Cybertron." Barricade growled as he continued to hold his blaster to Starscream who was to weak to fight back.

"The Autobots know what your plan is so none of the will blame Vos for any of this." Arcee told him. "So you might as well let Starscream go."

"But can the same be said for Vos and the Decepticons?" Barricade asked darkly.

"How does this sound?" "Starscream the leader of Vos pays a visit to Iacon but you not being able to forgive him for killing Cliffjumper lurid him here to Darkmount to kill him and avenge Cliffjumper the two of you fought and ultimately killed each other." Barricade finished.

"There's no way anyone will believe that." Arcee hissed at him.

"It won't be hard for Vos to believe you killed their leader and the rest of your team covered it up to protect your reputation." Barricade said smugly. "After all it's not so farfetched that the Autobots would protect one of their own."

Then he dropped Starscream to the ground and started to fire his blaster at Arcee. But Starscream suddenly got a second wind and tackled Barricade.

Arcee rushed over to try to help him but suddenly the blaster went off while the three of them were struggling. Just then Bumblebee and Sideswipe rushed in having heard the blast.

Bumblebee quickly slapped a pair of stasis cuffs on Barricade who had gotten up and tried to run. While Sideswipe rushed over to where Arcee and Starscream were and found Arcee kneeling next to Starscream who had been shot in the shoulder.

"No." Bumblebee said when he saw what the situation was. He quickly used his com-link to call for an emergency ground bridge to the hospital after seeing Starscream was still alive but just barely.

Once the ground bridge appeared they wasted no time rushing him to the hospital where Ratchet got to work trying to save the seeker's life.
