Starscream woke up in the middle of the night and found he was completely paralyzed and saw Pharma was standing over his berth tampering with his IV.

Starscream was desperately trying to cry out for help but whatever Pharma had put in his IV was keeping him quiet and unable to move.

Starscream was terrified. How did Pharma even get in and where were his friends? Pharma noticed the frightened look in the seeker's optics.

"Don't worry I'm not going to kill you here I'm going to take you out to the middle of nowhere to finish you." Pharma hissed at the panicked seeker. "Oh and I have something to show you." He added.

Then Pharma moved Starscream so he was looking down at the floor. And what he saw made his spark sink. He was now looking at Knock Out who was laying face down on the floor in a pool of his own energon.

"He tried to fight me off but I was just to much for him." Pharma gloated. "Well now he can join that friend of his in the Allspark."

Then Pharma started moving Starscream to a wheelchair that was designed for seekers poor Starscream still couldn't move do to whatever was in his IV. And was helpless to fight back as Pharma started to wheel him out of the room.

Suddenly Knock Out who it turned out was still alive grabbed hold of one of Pharma's legs.

"You just won't quite will you!" Pharma said to the badly injured medic who he then kicked across the helm then turned over so the Austin Martin was now laying on his back.

"Goodbye Knock Out!" Hissed Pharma as he used his arm canon to shoot Knock Out in the spark chamber at close range.

"No!" Starscream managed to choke out as coolant tears rolled down his face as he was forced to watch Pharma kill his best friend.

Knock Out's optics stopped glowing and his body turned from it's normal red to a burnt gray color as his spark went out and he died.

"Sorry I had to Knock Out your friend's spark." Pharma mocked coldly.

Never had Starscream wanted so much to kill someone. "Poor Knock Out!" he thought. Now Starscream just wanted to end Pharma.

But he still couldn't move and was now being wheeled down the hall and was horrified to see Ratchet, Red Alert and First Aid all laying around in the hallway dead just like Knock Out was.

Starscream had never felt so alone and helpless.

Just then Pharma was tackled by Bumblebee. "You monster you killed all of them!" Bumblebee yelled at Pharma as they continued to fight. Starscream wanted to help Bumblebee end that psycho but still couldn't move.

Then he saw Pharma shoot Bumblebee through the spark chamber and could only watch helplessly as the yellow and black Autobot was shot dead.

"No!" Starscream cried the drugs the IV had been giving him had somehow worn off but what did it matter all his friends were dead. He was now completely alone and had no will left to fight.

"Oh I'm sorry did I kill all your friends?" Pharma mocked the seeker. "Now I'll let you join them!"

Then Pharma got ready to shoot Starscream execution style in the helm. And Starscream screamed as the blast hit him.
_                                                     

Starscream suddenly jerked himself awake luckily it had all just been a nightmare. He saw that Knock Out, Ratchet, Bumblebee, First Aid and Red Alert were all in his hospital room because they all heard him screaming in his sleep.

"Starscream are you OK?" Asked Bumblebee.

"You were yelling in your sleep." Said Knock Out.

"I'm fine now that I know all of you are OK." Starscream explained. "I dreamt Pharma killed all of you."

"Well after what happened to you earlier it's no wonder you had a nightmare." Ratchet told him.

"I've been having similar ones." Said Knock Out. "I think it's clear that we're all on edge after what we've been through lately."

"Don't worry we'll find a way to stop Pharma and we won't let him hurt anyone else." Bumblebee said to the seeker.
_                                                      

The next day everyone was trying to figure out what to do about Pharma they knew that Knock Out and Starscream would nether one be able to relax till they knew he was no longer a threat.

Starscream was acting like he wasn't worried about it. But the others could all tell that the nightmare he'd had that night and his ordeal the day before had him scared.

The seeker wouldn't tell any of them but seeing Ratchet, First Aid and Red Alert laying dead in the hallway and Knock Out and Bumblebee murdered right in front of him. Had traumatised Starscream even if it had just been a nightmare seeing all his friends die had been to much for him to handle. And he didn't want it to happen for real.

So he decided he knew what he had to do. Starscream called the others into his room later that afternoon.

"Guys I want to set another trap to catch Pharma using myself as bait." The seeker explained.

"Starscream are you sure it could be dangerous?" Bumblebee asked him.

"I've never been more sure of anything." Starscream told him. Starscream wanted to make sure Pharma was captured and that he wouldn't be forced to watch all his friends die.

"OK let's set the trap." Said Ratchet knowing there was no way to talk the seeker out of it.
_                                                      

So they set the plan into motion. The first thing they did was have First Aid and Red Alert spread the word that Starscream was alive and recovering and even said what room he was in so Pharma was sure to overhear and make another attempt on the seeker's life.

Only unknown to Pharma Bumblebee would be hidden in Starscream's room ready to capture him as soon as he made a move on the former Decepticon.

However it was taking longer for the Mad Doctor to make an attempt to kill Starscream then they thought.

Bumblebee kept having to snap himself out of recharge do to how boring this was as the hours continued to drag on.

Suddenly he heard footsteps and the door open. This was it Pharma was making a move.

Bumblebee suddenly jumped out of the closet with his blasters ready. "Freeze Pharma!" He yelled only to see it wasn't the mech he thought it was. "Wait your not Pharma."

"Who the heck are you?" Asked Starscream.

"My name's Darkscream!" Said the other bot who seemed frightened and confused.

"Oh Darkscream this is the wrong room Gas Skunk is a little further down the hall." Said another mech.

"Oh thanks Slapper bye guys." Darkscream told them as he and Slapper took off down the hall as though they couldn't get away from there fast enough.

"Well that was unexpected." Bumblebee said as he face palmed. While Starscream rolled his optics.

Just then Bumblebee got a call on his com-link from Ratchet.

"Did you get Pharma?" Ratchet asked.

"No it was just a mech visiting his buddy who happened to come into the wrong room." Bumblebee explained.

"And Bumblebee why were you in the basement a few minutes ago?" Asked the medic.

"I wasn't in the basement I've been in Starscream's room all night trying catch Pharma as planned." Bumblebee told him now confused. "Why did you think I was in the basement?"

"Because Knock Out got a transmission he thought was from you asking him to meet you there." Said Ratchet now with a hint of panic in his voice.

"I didn't send him a transmission." Bumblebee said to Ratchet. "Knock Out's in trouble!"

"Pharma must have found out about the trap and went after him instead." Ratchet added. "We need to hurry if we're gonna save him!"

Then they hung up and rushed to the basement hoping to get to Knock Out before it was to late.
_                                                       

Meanwhile Knock Out had just arrived in the basement thinking he was going to meet Bumblebee there.

"So what's the deal Bumblebee I thought you were helping Starscream trap Pharma?" Asked Knock Out but no one answered him and Bumblebee was nowhere to be seen.

"Um Bee are you even down here?" He asked again and still nothing. "OK is this some kind of joke because this really isn't the time for pranks."

Knock Out walked around in the basement which was more of a storage room with boxes and shelves everywhere. When suddenly one of the shelves fell and almost hit him but luckily he was able to jump out of the way. And he could tell it had been pushed.

Knock Out suddenly felt himself being jerked up off the floor as a servo was clamped over his mouth. Knock Out struggled out of Pharma's grip seeing who his attacker was and started to run for it after kicking the seeker off him.

But Pharma quickly got ahead of him and blocked the red medic's path and stopped him from escaping up the stairs. Then held a blaster to Knock Out's helm.

Knock Out knew Pharma would shoot him if he tried to resist so he surrendered at lest till he could find a way to escape.

But was now crying coolant tears of fear because he knew what this monster was capable of. He had already almost kill him once. And Starscream had just barley survived his encounter with him.

Then Pharma force Knock Out up the stairs while keeping the blaster pressed against his back. Poor Knock Out had no choice but to obey for fear of being shot.

After they got up the stairs Pharma forced Knock Out into a room that had a gurney in the middle of it and closed and locked the door behind them.

"Now lay down on the gurney." Pharma ordered his captive still keeping him at gunpoint. "I'm going to sneak you out under a tarp on it so no one will see you leave."

Knock Out got on the gurney then Pharma pushed him against it and strapped him down so he wouldn't be able to fight now that he was restrained.

Knock Out knew his only chance was going to be to start making as much noise as possible when Pharma pushed him out to the hallway.

Then Pharma grabbed something off a table and Knock Out saw him fill a syringe.

Knock Out optics widened and he started to struggle against his restraints knowing he wouldn't be able to escape or get anyone's attention if he was drugged.

"Just something to take the edge off it'll take this a few minutes to work but once it takes affect you'll be out for hours maybe days." Pharma told him.

Knock Out started to squirm harder trying to avoid being medicated with the needle Pharma was about to use on him.

"I know your scared Knock Out but don't worried this'll calm you down." Pharma hissed as he pinned Knock Out against to gurney and gave him the shot.

Knock Out felt a sharp poke as the unwanted injection was forced into his servo and whatever was in the syringe entered his system.

"See that wasn't so bad now we just wait for it to take affect." Pharma told Knock Out who glared at him.

"You caused me a lot of trouble Knock Out if you hadn't found out what I was doing to those patients it wouldn't have come to this it's your fault all of this happened." Pharma told the Austin Martin.

"No you would've been caught even if I hadn't found out Bumblebee and the others would have found out it was you." Knock Out told him.

"I guess so but it really doesn't matter since I'm going to kill you anyway and then I'll kill the others." Pharma told him. "I'd like to say it's nothing personal Doctor but it kind of is since you were the reason I was found out."

"You w-won't get away with this.." Knock Out struggled to choke out as it was suddenly becoming harder to speak or even focus.

Pharma noticed Knock Out looked like he was having trouble keeping his optics open.

"Looks like the medicine's starting to kick in almost time to go." Pharma said grabbing the tarp and starting to spread it over the now barely conscious transformer.

Knock Out was fighting to stay conscious but everything was slowly going dark. "Don't.." Knock Out tried to choke something else out but Pharma put a finger over his mouth.

"Shhh!" Pharma shushed Knock Out as if shushing a child. "Just sleep." He told him. Then the red medic's optics closed and his helm fell back against the gurney.

Then Pharma covered Knock Out with the tarp so no one would see the now unconscious mech on the gurney as he rolled it out of the building.

To Be Continued.
