Ryan just finished school, but told Jazz not to pick him up because he was heading home to do some homework.

Knockout groundbridged out of the Nemesis and drive of to the rough location of where Ryan would be. The Decepticons did not know exactly where the Auotobots or Ryan was but they had an idea of the location. He drove towards the local school and waited patiently for the kid to walk out the school gates.

"Bye Sam, see you tomorrow!" Ryan shouted out to his best friend who walked the opposite way to Ryan. Ryan put his headphones on and played "Dance With The Devil" by his favourite band and walked down the same street he always did every day, and he was very familiar with the people who regularly went to the shops there and the cars they drove. But today Ryan noticed a new car, one that wasn't regularly here. A slick, shiny, new looking, red car. Ryan left it, thinking it was just someone new, he continued walking down the street and into the 'dead' part of town, where there were no shops and very little people walking along the path. As he walked, he pulled out his phone to change his song but before he did, he noticed the same red car in the screens reflection. Ryan put his headphones away and kept walking paying attention to the car. He stopped and turned around, the car was following him! Ryan started the walk faster then started running when he realised the car was still stalking him. He quickly ran into an alley way where he hid behind the dumpster hoping the person in the car wouldn't find him. The red car stopped when it reached the alleyway, backed up, and slowly drove into the alleyway, just fitting between the narrow walls. The car stopped before the dumpster. Ryan's heart was beating fast he was freaking out and didn't know what to do. He peeked an eye out and what he saw scared him even more! The red car did not have anyone in it because....... It was a transformer! The red car transformed and revealed a tall robot who then searched thoroughly for Ryan. Ryan moved behind the dumpster and waited for the robot to leave.

Back at the Autobot base Jazz was getting scared. "I told him to call me when he got home......SO WHY HASN'T HE CALLED?!!" Jazz shouted. "Calm down, he probably just doesn't wanna talk to ya. Haha!" Ironhide said. "Be quiet! You think this is a joke?!" Jazz replied. "Nah, I just don't think it's a big problem to worry your little head over." Ironhide taunted. "Arghhh!! You don't understand! I'm meant to protect him, if anything happens to him it's on me! Not you! I'd feel sorry for the human who'd have to have you as their robot protector. You'd be the lousiest Protecter EVER!!" Jazz shouted back in anger. "AND.....DONT EVER......CALL ME ......SMALL!!!" Jazz added. "That's it!" Ironhide yelled as he jumped towards Jazz ready to have a lunch up with him. Jazz didn't shy away from a fight and he was as ready as Ironhide was. As Sideswipe, Smokescreen and Mirage stood and watched they looked at each other. Sideswipe took charge, "Smokescreen grab Optimus, He's with Bumblebee and Ratchet." Sideswipe ordered. "Sure thing boss!" Smokescreen said showing no issue with the new, temporary chain of command. "Mirage spill Jazz back, I'll get Ironhide." Sideswipe said as he gave his final order. The two Autobots simultaneously pulled back the fighting Autobots. "What is going on?! Jazz, Ironhide stand down!" Optimus ordered as he walked in disappointed with his Autobots behaviour. "Jazz I am aware of Ryan and the situation but that is no excuse for you're behaviour. Ironhide, I expect better of you." Optmius said displeased. "Sorry Optimus." The two Autobots said in unison.

Back in the alleyway, the transformer searched for Ryan and quietly crept away hoping to draw the child out of hiding. His plan worked. Ryan emerged from behind the dumpster thinking the transformer had left only to be corned by him, with nowhere to go. "Hah I found you!!" The robot sang joyously. "My name is Kno-" "I know who you are, Knockout." Ryan said before Knockout could finish his sentence off. "Weeellll it's good to know those Autobots teach you something!!" Knockout said with a short laugh afterwards. "Know I need you to hop into the car nicely so I can take you to my master for MY plan!" Knockout explained with a smirk across his face. Ryan gasped and didn't know what to do, with nowhere to go Knockout snatched him up and transformed with Ryan ending up tin the passenger seat with the seat belt wrapped around him. "Buckle up! Next stop, the Nemesis!!" Knockout said pleased with his victory.

"Optimus what are we doing about Ryan's situation?" Jazz asked. "We are trying to pinpoint Ryan's phone so we can get a signal on him and travel to his location." Ratchet explained while pressing multiple buttons. "Ok." Jazz replied back and left the room. Shortly after, he returned. "Um how long is that gonna take?" Jazz asked. "As long as it takes until Ryan turns his phone on, once he does that I can locate the signal." Ratchet replied. Jazz left once again. Ironhide noticed Jazz sitting in the side and his face showed nothing but pure worry for his human friend. Ironhide walked up to him and sat down with him. "Hey....um look I'm sorry.....about before." Ironhide apologised. "Yeh me too." Jazz agreed. "We're cool?" Ironhide asked. "We're cool." Jazz assured. "Hey look, don't worry, we'll find the kid and he'll be back here before you can say Decepticon Punk!" Ironhide said, trying to comfort Jazz. Though comforting his comrades and allies was not his strong suit he tried his hardest and succeeded as he managed to put a small smile on Jazz's face!

"Lord Megatron!!!" Knockout sang out. "Knockout, you're back!" Megatron said, eager to find out how the mission turned out. Knockout presented Ryan in a human sized canister. "WELL DONE Knockout!" Megatron praised. "Why thank you my liege." Knockout said extremely happy with his success. "Go put the human somewhere in the lab, all we have to do now is wait for the Autobots." Megatron explained. Knockout left for the lab to place the human inside and to also check on Starscream. He crept inside as quite as he could, hoping not to disturb Starscream, unaware that Starscream was already awake. "Knockout?" Starscream said, his voice was evidence enough that he hadn't fully recovered. "Starscream! You're awake. Are you feeling any better?" Knockout asked. "I'm fine, don't worry about me, did you manage to capture the human?" Starscream asked. "I have the kid and now we wait for the Autobots to make a deal." Knockout explained. "Great!-Ow!" Starscream cheered but moved too fast and hurt himself. "You still need rest, a few hours at the least. Then I'll run one more check and you should be as good as new!" Knockout assured. "Good." Starscream said relieved. Knockout left the lab to leave Starscream to rest.
