The next few hours were quite everyone was busy trying to think of a way to help Starscream. And Ratchet and Knock Out were trying to find out what was wrong with him.

They had tried taking him out of stasis but he kept having convolutions and coughing up energon. So they had to keep him in stasis.

"I wish there was someway to help." Said Ruff. "I mean I know he caused a lot of trouble in the past but it's still hard seeing him like that."

Then Ratchet came out and told them what they had learned.

"Starscream has Dark Energon, Red Energon and Toxin in his system." Ratchet explained getting everyone's attention.

"So how can we help him?" Asked Grimlock.

"Unfortunately we don't know yet." Ratchet told them. "The Dark Energon and Toxin is what's causing him to seizure because the Toxin is killing him but Dark Energon reanimates the dead so it's keeping him from dying in kind of a tug of war." "While the Red Energon is making their affects faster then normal."

"Then what's going to happen to him?" Ask Bumblebee.

"The longer he's in stasis the more likely the chance of permanent damage." Said Ratchet.

Then Knock Out came out and agreed that things didn't look good for Starscream but they would keep trying to save him.

Then all of a sudden Megatron went over and pulled Starscream out of the stasis pod and tossed him to the ground and the seeker jerked around uncontrollably and Megatron aimed his arm cannon at Starscream's spark chamber.

"No stop what are you doing!" Yelled Knock Out who threw himself over Starscream. And Bumblebee and Ratchet hurried over there as well.

"Megatron what is the meaning of this?" Asked Optimus.

"I was doing him a favor he'll be suffering and permanently damage." "Starscream is already dead!" Hissed Megatron

"That's not ture as long as he still has a spark there's a chance we can save him." Scolded Ratchet.

Megatron didn't feel like arguing and walked off. Then Shayna came out and asked what was going on as she saw them put Starscream back in the stasis pod.

"What happened to your paint Knock Out?" Ask Shayna.

Then Knock Out noticed that Starscream had scratched him up pretty good. "Oh scrap." "After Screamer gets better I may shoot him myself." Joked Knock Out who went to fix his paint while bringing Shayna up to speed.
_                                                    

"Wow so Megatron tried to mercy kill Starscream." Shayna said in disbelief. "Even if he was well meaning that's not right."

"That just the way he is." Knock Out explained.

"Hey guys!" "You'll never guess what we found out." Said Sideswipe.

"What is it?" Asked Knock Out.

"Sound wave sent Laserbeak to fallow Lockdown after me and Strongarm fought him last night and look at this footage he recorded." Sideswipe told them.
_                                                         

A few minutes later the whole team watched the footage Laserbeak had recorded.

And saw New Mech and heard and saw what Spencer did to Starscream.

"I can't believe that jerk Cylas has a brother." Said Knock Out visibly angry.

"We have to be ready for this new enemy." Drift told them.

They were all talking about how to handle the new threat. And Shayna was almost positive she heard Megatron say "I'll make them pay for this." In a whispered tone.

"But first things first we have to help Starscream." Bumblebee said feeling worried about the seeker.

"I know maybe we can find a way to get it out of his system or dilute it somehow." Suggested Ratchet suddenly getting an idea.
_                                                        

Ratchet and Knock Out got to work right away they had to strap Starscream down because his body was still going crazy.

"So the plan is we're gonna do like a human blood transfusion only with energon." Knock Out explained.

Ratchet and Knock Out put tubes in Starscream one to put good energon in him and one to drain the bad stuff out.

"I hope this works." Said Shayna.

"Me too." Added Bumblebee. "And Knock Out said something about giving Starscream some kind of upgrade while their at it."

"Wonder what he ment by that?" Asked Jack.

Everyone was waiting and hoping this would work. When Ratchet came out.

"So how'd it go?" Asked Shayna.

"Great we're just waiting for him to wake up." "Knock Out is with him now." Ratchet explained.

Then they all heard something go boom and went to where Knock Out was with Starscream to see what happened Ratchet got there first and Knock Out was on the floor and Starscream who was awake now was trying to help him up but still wasn't at full percent and was about to fall too.

When Bumblebee helped him back to bed.

"What happened I woke up and Knock Out was here and I accidentally shot him with something is he OK?" Asked Starscream.

"Don't worry only stunned." Said Knock Out "I should have told you I gave you a null ray."

"Thanks." Starscream told him. "And thanks all of you for saving me."

"Your welcome." They all told him.

Then Ratchet had to help Knock Out to a chair because the stunning affect hadn't worn off yet.

"My poor paint." Moaned Knock Out.

"Hey it was your idea to give him that." Ratchet pointed out.

Everyone had to laugh at that. Even Knock Out couldn't keep a straight face.

After the day they'd had everyone decided to relax and take it easy. They'd deal with the Decepticons and New Mech tomorrow.
