Megatron, Soundwave, Starscream and Knock Out were watching a movie with Gage and Shayna when the cons received a call from Cybertron informing them that there had been a prison break on Cybertron and all the Decepticons had escaped to Earth and that both Arcee and Wheeljack were in the hospital.

"That's horrible are they ok?" Asked Knock Out and everyone could hear the worry in his voice.

"It's too soon to tell right now, But if you want to use the space bridge to come help your more then welcome to become we could always use another medic." Said Preceptor who had been the one to call.

"And for the rest of you we have a mission, we need you guys to go to the old steel mill and see if any of our escapees have joined Steeljaws's pack and recapture them and Steeljaw while your at it." He added.

"I'll be right there to help but only until Arcee and Wheeljack are out of the woods because this team still needs a medic." Knock Out agreed.

"Of course and thank you." Preceptor told him before clearing it with Optimus Prime over another com-link.

"But wait isn't Steeljaw Bumblebee's enemy?" Asked Starscream. "Wouldn't it make more sense for his team to deal with him?"

"They are currently on Cybertron investigating how the prison riot got started." Preceptor explained.

"Ok we'll do our best, Decepticons rise up!" Said Megatron as the team left to go on their mission except for Knock Out who took the space bridge to Cybertron wanting to help his injured friends and Windblade and Smokescreen who wanted to check on Wheeljack and Arcee as well.

So it was only Megatron, Starscream and Soundwave who would go to the steel mill while Shayna and Gage stayed at base as mission control.

Meanwhile at the hospital on Cybertron Pharma was working at the desk with Ratchet.

"You seem pretty distant lately what's going on with you?" Ratchet asked his friend from med school who he had only recently met again after the war.

"It's complicated can we go somewhere private to talk?" Pharma asked him looking at the floor with his wings down.

"Sure." Ratchet agreed knowing it must be something serious from Pharma's tone and body language.

So the two of them walked to the basement where they'd be alone.

"So what's wrong?" Asked Ratchet only for his optics to suddenly widen in pain when the other medic literally stabbed him in the back with an energon dagger he had hidden.

"I just need to kill an Autobot so the DJD will let me leave Cybertron nothing personal." Pharma sneared at him.

Ratchet started to run and cry out for help but the seeker quickly grabbed him while clamping his servo over his mouth to quit him, And used the energon dagger that he had yanked out of Ratchet's back to slice some wires including Ratchet's main fuel line then held him until he bleed out then tossed his now lifeless body to the floor before running up the stairs before anyone could figure out what he'd done.

"So what's wrong?" Asked Ratchet snapping Pharma out of his daydream.

"Nothing!" The seeker medic jumped having been startled and accidentally ended up slapping an insecticon name Waspinator who had just been standing in the wrong spot.

"Bro!" Yelled a random bot. "You just decked him."

"I'm sorry it was an accident." Said Pharma really feeling more annoyed and embarrassed then sorry but not wanting them to know it.

Not only had he blown his chance to lure Ratchet to the basement and kill him but made more work for himself.

Just then Knock Out arrived and asked about Arcee and Wheeljack and what he could do to help.

"It was touch and go but the two of them will pull through." Ratchet explained to him with a smile that the red medic then returned feeling relieved.

"Guess I made the trip for nothing then but I'm not complaining." Knock Out told him glad his friends were going to be OK.

"They'll both be on bed rest for awhile but will make full recoveries." Ratchet added. "You can see them anytime."

"Thanks you." Knock Out replied then went to Arcee's room and Ratchet wasn't surprised knowing the red sports car had developed a crush on the two wheel.

_                                                                               

Knock Out went down the hallway and entered the hospital room Arcee was in.

"Knock knock." He said as he entered.

"Nice to see you." Arcee greeted him.

"I thought we promised each other we were gonna be careful?" Knock Out teased her.

"Well you try being careful when fighting a whole prison full of inmates with Wheeljack there." She replied playfully.

"Yeah Wreckers are known for being reckless." They both chuckled.

"I'm just glad your both ok." Knock Out told her.

"Hey I'm stronger then I look." Arcee smiled at him.

"Yeah I still remember fighting you in the New York subway during the war, Which for the record I won." Knock Out said smiling at the memory.

"But I remember Bee and I got the relic." She corrected.

"Only because I got ran over by a subway train." Knock Out cringed at the memory of what that had done to his finish but smiled at it anyway realizing it was actually pretty funny looking back at it.

"And I'll admit I kind of had it coming back then." He added with a laugh.

And the two of them continued to hang out and chat about old times.
_                                                                                

Meanwhile on Earth Megatron, Soundwave and Starscream arrived at the old steel mill and to their surprise they found the place ransacked.

"What happened here it looks like they already had a fight with someone?" Starscream wondered out loud.

"I don't know but it doesn't look good." Megatron said taking in his surroundings and knowing something seemed off and very wrong.

Soundwave sent Lazerbeak ahead to check it out and a few seconds later the minicon signaled to them to come in acting panicked.

So they all rushed ahead only to be greeted with the sight of Helex dumping a badly burned Steeljaw out of his built in smelting pool.

"Well look who's here." Helex smirked at the three former Decepticons and turning his attention away from the wolf mech.

"Where's the rest of the DJD?" Asked Megatron not sounding at all happy.

"Their tending to other matters right now all for Tarn's master plan." Helex told them darkly. "He said not to touch you if you showed up but the other three on your team are fair game."

And with that Helex made a grab for Laserbeak only for Starscream to jump between him and the minicon attempting to fire his missile at the DJD member.

But unfortunately Helex managed to grabbed the seeker's servos with his two extra arms and forced him to mess and shoot his missiles out a window instead and partly transformed enough to expose the smelting pool that was inside him and was now trying to force Starscream inside it.

The seeker was desperately struggling to pull away from the tube of acid not wanting to be slowly melted inside it, and felt one of his servos touch the hot substance and let out a yelp.

When suddenly Soundwave intervened and shocked Helex with one of his tentacles causing him to toss Starscream into a wall on the other side of the room.

But then Helex started to go after Soundwave and managed to rip out one of his tentacles and used the other one to drag the slender mech to him planning to get him inside his smelting pool.

Megatron had been frozen in his place because everything had gone down so fast and seeing the sheer amount of violence Helex was trying to dish out on Starscream and Soundwave and remembering what Kaon had done to Knock Out and Starscream, Megatron blamed himself for training the DJD and making them what they were he had created those monsters.

Suddenly Megatron was snapped out of his thoughts and back to reality when he heard Starscream shout and saw him jump back to his feet and rush Helex trying to help Soundwave only to be grabbed by the wings for his trouble.

Then Helex closed his smelting pool having tossed Soundwave aside and decided instead of smelting Starscream he would rip the seeker's wings off and maybe his spine out while he was at it.

Seeing the evil smirk in his eyes Megatron quickly figured out what Helex was planning to do to Starscream and not about to let it happen he rushed over and used his blade to slice off Helex's extra arms that had been holding the seeker causing him to drop Starscream to the floor.

Then Megatron stood over Starscream with his back facing the seeker as he used his fusion cannon to shoot Helex point blank in the spark chamber killing the DJD member instantly.

The first thing he did next was check to make sure that both Starscream and Soundwave were ok, And was relieved to see that the worst of their damage was Soundwave having a wound from where his tentacle had been ripped off and Starscream having a burn on his servo where it had brushed against the acid in Helex's smelting pool and they saw that Steeljaw was still alive but barely.

So they decided to take him with them and would take the space bridge to the hospital on Cybertron so he could receive medical attention as well as getting Starscream and Soundwave taken care of, Lazerbeak was staying with his master concerned about his injury.

And as soon as they return to base and we're about to go through the space bridge they suddenly receive a call from Cybertron.

"What is it?" Megatron asked as he answered the call.

"Bad news there's been a situation and well.." Said Red Alert's voice that trailed off as if not wanting to finish what he called to tell them but then did. "Someone died."

"We'll be right there!" Megatron said hanging up as they all rushed through the space bridge.
_                                                                                

Meanwhile on Cybertron at the same time Megatron, Starscream and Soundwave had been doing their mission.

Knock Out had gone to the hospital's cafeteria to get energon for himself and Arcee, while the two wheeler relaxed on the medical berth.

Arcee didn't think anything of it when Pharma entered the room knowing he worked at the hospital and assumed he was doing his job when he went to her IV and started doing something.

Until suddenly she couldn't move or speak as her optics widened as she made the realization that Pharma had just given her something.

"Don't worry that was just a little something to keep you from struggling and making a fuss, Don't need you making this any harder for me." Pharma mocked the immobilized femme.

"Nothing personal against you but I need to kill an Autobot so the DJD will let me go to Earth so I don't die with everyone on Cybertron after Tarn puts his plan into motion." Pharma continued to explain.

While poor Arcee could only lay there unable to fight or even cry out for help.

Then to her horror Pharma approached her berth and held her chin up in a way forcing her to look at him.

"I noticed you and that former Decepticon seem to be close, I don't like Decepticons myself so if I ever get the opportunity to kill him he won't be as lucky as you because your about to have a quick death in a hospital berth but with him I'll make sure to take it slow and make him suffer and see that he goes hard." Pharma said darkly.

And to spite being paralyzed Arcee managed to glar daggers at him upon hearing him threaten Knock Out.

"Well enough yapping time to get on with this." He finished then opened Arcee's spark chamber and used a pair of wire cutters he had to clip some wires then closing it again and rushing out while putting the wire cutters in his subspace and running down the hallway before anyone spotted him.

Pharma then ducked into a supply closet and smirked taking off a camera and removing a disk from it that he had recorded to prove to the DJD that he had just killed Arcee.

_                                                                                 

Meanwhile Knock Out was on his way back from the cafeteria that was located on the other side of the hospital having also had to wait in a long line of bots because the hospital had been busy, mostly do to having to treat injured guards from the prison riot.

That was when Knock Out heard an alert about an emergency with one of the patients and felt his spark race when he saw them rushing to Arcee's room, then rushed to join them and help anyway he could even dropping the energon cubes he had been carrying onto the floor.

"What's going on?!" Knock Out asked not even trying to hide the panic in his voice.

"We don't know her spark just stopped!" A nurse told him.

Then Ratchet who had also heard the alert arrived and he and Knock Out started doing everything they could to save Arcee as both of their medical experience took over.

Ratchet was watching the monitor while Knock Out was using the paddles on her.

"Come on Arcee you have to snap out of it and come back to us!" Knock Out begged her and there was no missing the desperation in his voice. "Come back to me!"

Knock Out continued using the paddles on her as they counted, And Ratchet watched the monitor hoping for Arcee's signal to come back online but it never did.

Then one of the other medics started to call the time of death.

"NO we have to keep trying!" Knock Out half screamed half sobbed not wanting to accept what was happening.

"Knock Out I'm sorry there's nothing more we can do she's gone." Ratchet put a hand on the younger medic's shoulder while struggling to fight back his own coolant tears as the medic who Knock Out had interpreted went ahead and pronounced her dead.

"I don't understand you said she was gonna recover and I just spoke to her and she was fine." Knock Out said struggling to process what had happened.

"It's possible she received damage to her spark chamber that we missed that I missed." Ratchet choked out as his voice cracked trying to think of what he could have missed and how it had gone so wrong.

"It's not your fault Ratchet your the best medic we have I'm the one who wasn't even here, I should have stayed with her if I had still been in the room maybe I could've helped her sooner maybe I could've saved her!" Knock Out cried.

"Knock Out this isn't your fault either." Ratchet assured the Aston Martin.

"I never got to tell her!.." Knock Out sobbed breaking down. "...That I loved her." He finished.

"I think she knew and felt the same way." Ratchet told Knock Out as he embraced and helped comfort the other medic as they both greaved over their friend.
