Starscream took off running down the tunnel and hit Pharma as he past the other seeker getting his attention. Starscream was planning to lead Pharma down one of the tunnels and away from Knock Out.

Pharma took off after Starscream. As both seekers raced down one of the tunnels.

Suddenly Starscream was grabbed by Pharma and slammed into the wall. But he quickly pushed the other seeker away from him then started to run. But Pharma grabbed Starscream and was trying to inject him with the something he'd given Knock Out.

Luckily the seeker managed to break free and kicked the syringe into a hole where Pharma couldn't reach it.

"Guess I'll have to kill you the old fashion way?" Pharma hissed at Starscream as they continued to struggle.

"I won't let you hurt my friends!" Starscream yelled at him. "I'll do whatever it takes to stop you even if it means I have to go with you!"

"Well you will be offlining today Starscream but I'm going to live through this and kill all your friends once I'm done with you." "Starting with Knock Out then Bumblebee and I'll make sure they all suffer." Pharma told the seeker coldly as he stabbed his claws into Starscream's midsection as the seeker let out a cry of pain.

And now had Starscream pinned against the wall and was pounding him into it by punching him over and over again.

Starscream was now in a great deal of pain because Pharma was punching him in the spot where he had just stabbed him. And energon was now spilling out of the wound as well as his mouth. And Pharma wasn't letting up.

At this rate he was going to kill him. Starscream had to get this to stop if he was going to survive this. Thinking fast he used his claws to scratch Pharma right in the optics blinding him.

"What did you do to my optics?" Roared Pharma now angry. "What did you do?!"

Then Starscream managed to kick Pharma off him and was now trying to limp away still in a huge amount of pain from being stabbed and beaten. But trying to take advantage of the fact that Pharma couldn't see.

But Pharma wasn't done yet and was trying to find Starscream now acting even more unhinged. He managed to grab Starscream and the two were now struggling again and in a panic Starscream accidentally fired his missiles.

And the roof of the cave started falling around them. Pharma didn't even seem to care all he was focused on was trying to kill Starscream.

Starscream was just trying desperately to escape. But Pharma had him by the neck and was slamming him into the ground as rocks continued to fall around them.

Starscream managed to push Pharma off him and jumped to his feet trying to run for it. But the rocks were still crashing down at him. One just missed him and he had to roll to avoid another. And ended up hitting his helm on one and knocking himself out.

Luckily the cave in stopped but unfortunately Pharma suddenly got his vision back and saw Starscream laying there unconscious. And walked over to finish the seeker.

But suddenly felt a puch to the back of his helm and swung back and hit Knock Out who had regained consciousness and was now fighting him.

"Knock Out so nice of you to join the party." Pharma hissed at him. Then noticed Knock Out was moving slower then usual because he still hadn't fully recovered from being drugged.

Pharma started using this to his advantage but Knock Out was somehow still managing to hold his own.

Then the cave started falling in again and Pharma was trapped where some of the rocks were falling fast.

Knock Out was able to use his drill to get through them and was safe.

"Pharma I can help you I'll use my drill to keep them from crushing you!" Knock Out told him thinking not even Pharma deserved to be crushed in a cave in.

Knock Out used his drill to break the rocks that were falling at Pharma. Then the cave in stopped.

"Thanks I can't believe you saved me after all I've done." Said Pharma.

"Guess being an Autobot is rubbing off on me." Knock Out told him.

Then suddenly Pharma shot him and Knock Out fell to the ground.

"What you did just now was admirable but stupid." Pharma mocked.

Then he was suddenly tackled by Starscream who had woke up just in time to hear the exchange between the two medics and then the shot and see Knock Out fall. And was now angry.

"Oh come on!" Pharma huffed. He had just fought Starscream only to have Knock Out take him on then dealt with the red medic and now Starscream had regained consciousness and was fighting him again.

"How could you he saved your life and you killed him!" Starscream yelled at Pharma in a mix of sadness and rage as coolant tears flowed out of his optics.

Then the cave started falling in yet again and they could both see the exit and ran for it. Not only was the roof of the cave falling but this time the floor was falling in too if they didn't get out they'd fall even further underground and be buried.

Starscream made it to the exit first and was almost out when Pharma suddenly grabbed his ankles and started trying to drag the other seeker down with him.

Starscream was fighting hard to get to safety. But he could feel Pharma's claws digging into his legs and the evil medic trying to yank him down.

Suddenly something zoomed by and Starscream heard someone transform behind him. Then all of a suddenly Pharma's hands were sliced off and Starscream was pulled to safety from behind as Pharma fell to his doom with rocks falling after him.

Starscream looked to see who had just pulled him up and was relieved to see Knock Out who hadn't been killed after all.

"Thanks Knock Out but I thought you were dead." Starscream told him.

"He shot me in the shoulder and it just took me a minute to recover." The red medic explained showing him that it wasn't even leaking. "Thanks for coming for me."

"Well you are like a brother to me." Starscream said to him. "And I'm glad your not dead."

Then Knock Out ran a diagnostic scan on Starscream to make sure he hadn't received any dangerous internal injuries during his fight with Pharma. And was relieved to find none and that the seeker would be fine and only needed a patch up. Whitch Knock Out was taking care of.

Then Starscream's com-link beeped. And it was Ratchet and Bumblebee saying they were on their way to their location. And they were both relieved to hear Knock Out on the other end as well as the seeker who both explained to them what all went down in the cave.

"Now if you'll both excuse us I still have to saw the hands off Starscream." Knock Out said as they hung up.

"Wait what?!" Ratchet and Bumblebee both said at once as they rushed to their location to see why Starscream had to have his hands cut off.
_

When they got there they both hurried over to the two mechs Ratchet arrived first. Then Bumblebee saw him start laughing and upon getting there saw that it wasn't Starscream's hands being cut off but Knock Out was sawing off Pharma's servos that were still clamped around the seeker's ankles then Bumblebee started laughing too.

"This is humiliating." Groaned Starscream. But then started laughing himself realizing it actually was kind of funny.

Then after Knock Out finished getting Pharma's hands off of Starscream's legs they decided since for the most part they were in good shape they would put Pharma's servos in storage and give them to a bot who needed them.

Then they started to head back to the hospital when Knock Out suddenly stopped and the others looked to see why and were all alarmed when the red medic suddenly killed over and collapsed to the ground.

Ratchet ran over and checked the sports car and was worried to see energon now leaking out of the wound from when Pharma shot him.

"But he said it wasn't leaking and acted fine!" Said Starscream. "He even patched me up!"

"He didn't even know how badly he'd been injured." Ratchet explained. "Looks like he had a heir line rip on his main fuel line that has just now torn open."

"His whole system is going into shock!" Ratchet said noticing Knock Out's body was starting to shake. "We have to get him to the hospital right away or we'll lose him!"
_

Upon arriving at the hospital they quickly rushed Knock Out to the operating room. Where Ratchet got to work trying to patch the damage to his fuel line.

While the others waited in the hallway. All worried about the cherry colored mech.

"I should have seen something was off." Starscream told them. "I should have know he wasn't fine after being shot!" The seeker said feeling like he'd failed his friend.

"It's not your fault there's no way you could have know it was this bad he didn't even know." Bumblebee tried to reassure him.

They all continued to wait in the hall while Ratchet worked none stop trying to save Knock Out's life.
_

Meanwhile Knock Out opened his optics and saw a familiar blue mech standing infront of him.

"Breakdown." He said hugging his friend. "What's going on?" He then asked.

"You where shot." Breakdown explained. "And I'm here to tell you that you can join with the Allspark now if you want?"

"What?" Asked Knock Out.

"Your at the crossroads right now you can ether become one with the Allspark or go back and continue living your life?" Breakdown explained. "I'm here to escort you if you choose the former."

"It's a harder choice then I thought it would be." Knock Out explained. "On one hand I'd be at pace." "But on the other there's still a lot of good I can do as a medic."

"Choose carefully because once you join with the Allspark there's no going back." Breakdown told him.

Then Knock Out thought about it for a minute then hugged his friend.

"I've decided." Knock Out said to Breakdown.
