The team was trying to figure out who the other mole was and think of a way to catch Flamewar.

"So did Flamewar say anything about what they were up too when she had you?" Bumblebee asked Arcee.

"No she just kept me tied up." Arcee replied.

"And she didn't say anything when she technically killed me either." Starscream added.

"Their must be something their up too or they wouldn't go through the trouble of infiltrating our base." Bumblebee said to them.

"So how do we catch them?" Asked Starscream.

"That's the big question." Bumblebee answered him.

Meanwhile Knock Out was working in the medbay when decided to take a break and saw Sideswipe and Sunstreaker walking in the hallway and walked out to talk to them.

But suddenly another Sunstreaker showed up and came running down the hallway.

"That's not me it's the mole!" The other Sunstreaker warned the two of them. But no sooner then the words were of his mouth his double stabbed Sideswipe who was standing next to him in the midsection.

"No!" The real Sunstreaker cried as he ran to his twin while the mole made a break for it.

"Stay with him and call Ratchet I'm not letting the mole escape!" Yelled Knock Out who ran after the mole now mad at him for hurting one of his friends. Knock Out knew Ratchet would be able to help Sideswipe and wanted to end this.

Sunstreaker obeyed and called Ratchet who rushed over upon hearing what was going on. And Strongarm and Windblade who both just walked down the hallway ran over to help when they saw what was going down and both wanted to help Sideswipe.

Then Ratchet and Bumblebee ran down the hall and they all rushed Sideswipe to the medbay.

Meanwhile Knock Out was chasing the mole determined to catch him maybe if he could capture him they could make him tell them where Flamewar was hiding and who the new leader of the Decepticons was and what they were planning.

Knock Out just wanted this whole nightmare he and his friends had been going through for the past few weeks to be over.

Sunstreaker's double changed to his alt mode and and drove off. But Knock Out also transformed and drove after him not about to let him escape.

"Since when can lightbender technology copy someone's alt mode?" Knock Out thought to himself knowing this was new.

Knock Out followed him to a spot on the outskirts of Kaon where he went inside a warehouse. Then went inside after him.

Knock Out transformed back to his bot mode and took out his energon prob as he walked down a hallway where he found Sunstreaker's double and activated his prob then approached the bot.

"Ok it's over your cornered now turn off the lightbender tech so I can see who you are and tell me what the Decepticons are planning." Knock Out practically growled at him.

"Who said anything about lightbender tech?" Said Sunstreaker's double who then changed and revealed himself to be a shape shifter like Makeshift had been. "Flamewar is the only one using that."

Knock Out's optics widened in shock he wasn't expecting one of the moles to be a shape shifter.

When suddenly he heard pedsteps behind him and before he could turn to see who was there Flamewar who had just walked in punched him hard across the helm.

Knock Out fell to the floor and tried to push himself back up only to receive another quick blow to the helm. And slumped back to the floor unconscious.

A while later Knock Out woke up in a cell still inside the warehouse. As soon as he remembered what happened he jumped to his peds and and rushed over to the bars.

The tried to activate his drill and saw but his servos wouldn't transform. They had deactivated his weapons while he was out.

And he couldn't get a com-link signal. "Scrap." He groaned.

Then he saw Flamewar and the shape shifter who look just like Makeshift only a head smaller both standing outside his cell.

"Seems you found our base of operations." Said Flamewar. "This is Masquerade."

"Makeshift was my older brother." The shape shifter explained. "But that's not important now unfortunately my cover was just blown didn't think Sunstreaker would escape."

"Yeah and he's probably leading my friends here now to stop you two." Knock Out said giving a little smirk. "So you two might as well make things easier and tell me what your plans are."

Then they both started laughing. Which made Knock Out uneasy.

"You think Sunstreaker was being held here." Masquerade mocked. "He escaped from a cave we had him in he has no idea about this place."

"But if you must know the Decepticons and our new leader Galvatron are planning to attack the Autobots and take back Cybertron." Flamewar explained. "They sent the two of us to learn what the weak spots in their defense is."

"Well you guys are never getting away with it my friends will come looking for me and Galvatron is no match for Optimus and Megatron." Knock Out told them.

"So you guys and the other Decepticons might as well give up now." The red sports car added.

"Oh your wrong Doctor they won't look for you." Masquerade told the Austin Martin.

"They won't even know your missing." He added as he shape sifted into a perfect copy of Knock Out even mimicking his voice.

Knock Out's face fell as he was now face to face with himself. Masquerade had changed into the spitting image of him and even had his voice down pat.

He knew the Autobots would fall for the disguise. And felt defeated as it sank in just how hopeless his situation was.

"You might as well get comfortable Doctor your going to be here for a very long time." Masquerade told him coldly. "Oh and I intend to see how many of your friends I can kill while using your face."

"The only question is who do I kill first?" Masquerade added darkly. "Let's see Arcee or maybe Bumblebee or how about Ratchet?" "Or perhaps I'll rip Starscream's spark out and see how indestructible it really is?"

"Don't you lay a digit on any of them!" Knock Out hissed at his lookalike as he threw himself against the bars of his cell.

"Now if you'll excuse me I'm going back to the Autobot base to see just how much info I can get and how much damage I can cause." Masquerade hissed in Knock Out's audio receptors through the bars. "And your going to stay here and sleep."

Then Knock Out hardly had time to react before Flamewar stabbed a syringe into his neckcables.

"Sweet dreams." She said in a mocking tone.

"Ahh!" Knock Out let out a little cry of pain as he felt the injection enter his system. "Noo!" He struggled to stay alert as he could already feel himself starting to go under the effects of the cybertronian narcotic.

"Those circuit boosters should put you out for quite a while." Flamewar told the cherry colored mech who was now struggling to stand.

Knock Out saw them leave and staggered around the cell for a few minutes using the wall for support. He slumped down on the floor and crawl to a berth in the corner of his prison and barley managed to climb onto it as he lost his fight to stay awake. And then laid across the berth in forced recharge.

Meanwhile Masquerade arrived at the Autobot base pretending to be Knock Out.

"Hi Knock Out glad your ok." Bumblebee greated him. "Ratchet said Sideswipe is gonna be fine."

"Did you catch the mole?" Asked Starscream who was also there.

"No unfortunately he escaped." Knock Out (Masquerade) told them.

"We'll get him next time." Bumblebee said to him.

"Right now let's get some rest and just hang out around the base I think we've earned it after this mole situation we could all use time to recharge so we can be well rested to stop them and protect Cybertron." The yellow Autobot added.

As the three of them went inside. And both Bumblebee and Starscream were unaware that the bot with them wasn't their friend. Or of what danger Knock Out was in.
