A little while later Starscream painfully regained consciousness. He was still pretty out of it. But came to himself enough to notice no one was there. now was the time to try to escape.

He started slamming himself against the door of his cell hoping to break it so he could get out. Every few seconds he had to just lean against it to rest because he was still in pain and not thinking straight. After a few more tries it finally broke and he ended up crashing to the floor with it.

Starscream just laid there for a while in to much pain to move. Then he had to struggle to stand up because he felt weak and dizzy not only because of the torture from Shockwave and his injured wing. But he'd hurt himself breaking the door of his cell down. and he was leaking energon.

Starscream continued to try to find the exit but was still really out of it so much that he was having trouble even telling up from down and ended up falling back to the floor. And was now having to crawl. And to make matters worse Shockwave had deactivated his com-link. So he couldn't call for help.

Then he noticed a consul and knew he could try to use it to contact the Autobots. Starscream just hoped he'd be able to focus long enough to get a message through. He was having to lean against the consul to stand.

He managed to call the Autobots. "This is Ultra Magnus." "Who calling?" Asked Ultra Magnus from the other end of the call.

"Help.." Starscream trilled off he was so weak and because of the pain in his mouth and everywhere else for that matter he was having trouble speaking and even staying conscious.

"Starscream what's wrong you sound terrible?" Asked Ultra Magnus now very concerned about the Starscream after hearing how weak and disoriented the seeker sounded.

"Shockwave knows." Whimpered Starscream who almost passed out.

"Starscream hold on we'll get you out of there just stay on the line so we can get your coronets." Ultra Magnus told the injured seeker.

Suddenly there was a boom and they were cut off.

Starscream was knocked backwards when the consul blew up and was now on his back dazed.

"Nice try but there's not going to be a rescue." Shockwave said to the barley conscious mech. "Now your going into forced recharge so I can use the Cortical psychic patch on you." Shockwave told Starscream as he used a circuit booster on him and the last thing the seeker saw was Shockwave starting to drag him off somewhere and then Starscream knew no more.

"Starscream needs help." Said Ultra Magnus. "I can tell he's hurt badly from the way he was talking."

"We have to find out where Shockwave's lab is so we can get him out of there." Cried Rocketgale who they could all tell was worried about Starscream.

"Maybe we can get Ratbat to tell us." Arcee suggested.

Then they decided it was time to question Ratbat and find someway to make him tell them where Shockwave's lab was.

First Wheeljack tried to make him talk by holding him by the feet but he ended up going to sleep instead of telling them what they wanted to know.

"Really Wheeljack your trying to torture a bat by holding him upsidedown." Asked Arcee. "Oh good point." Said Wheeljack.

Then it was Knock Out's turn. And he started putting out all his surgical tools where Ratbat could see them. "What are you doing?" Asked Ratbat.

"Getting ready to do surgery on you." Knock Out said trying to sound scary. "And I'm not putting you in stasis as in your going to be awake and feel all of it."

"Please start with my optics so I don't have to look at that awful red paint job." "Or you could take my audio receptors so I don't have to hear you speck of that dumb partner of your." Quipped Ratbat. Knock Out suddenly shot Ratbat a look and activated his buzzsaw.

And a few seconds later Wheeljack had to drag Knock Out out of Ratbat's cell.

"Let me at him!" "Let me at him!" Yelled a very mad Knock Out.

"Sorry KO we kind of need him alive." Said Wheeljack.

"No one talks about Breakdown that way." Hissed Knock Out. "And my paint job is Fabulous!"

"Don't let him get to you he's not worth it." Wheeljack told him. "How about we go watch some horror movies."

"OK that sounds good." Said Knock Out.

Then it was Smokescreen's turn.

"So what are you going to do to make me talk?" Asked Ratbat. "And why are you in vehicle mode?" He asked noticing Smokescreen was in his alt mode.

"I just have someone I want you to meet." Answered Smokescreen who then open his door. "This is Ratbat go on Wheelie ask him anything you want." Said Smokescreen as he let the minicon out of his vehicle mode and left the room.

"Three, two, one." Smokescreen counted down on his fingers.

"OK OK!" "I'll talk just get this minicon out of here!" Screamed Ratbat. Arcee and Ultra Magnus were both to stunned for words. And then Ratbat not only told them where Shockwaves base was but also revealed he liked to suck his thumb when no ones looking and his favorite color was pink.

"Now we can go help Starscream." Said Ultra Magnus.

Just then he heard a crash from the other room and went to see what was going on. And found Rocketgale beating Rattrap to a pulp.

"What's the meaning of this?" Asked Ultra Magnus.

"Rattrap is the one who blew Starscream's cover I just heard him talking to Shockwave on his com-link." Explained Rocketgale who looked like she wanted to end Rattrap then and there.

"Is this ture?" Ultra Magnus ask Rattrap.

"Yes!" Said Rattrap not wanting to make Rocketgale anymore angry by lying.

"How did you find out Starscream was spying on Shockwave and why did you blow his cover?" Asked Ultra Magnus not sounding a bit happy.

"I overheard Starscream report to you the other night and when I heard Shockwave was making Predicons I knew his side would have the upper hand and wanted to get on his good side and join his team because I don't want to be killed by no Predicons." Rattrap explained. "So I told him about Starscream so he'd let me join his side."

"If anything happens to him I'll rip your spark out." Rocketgale threatened right before punching Rattrap out.

Then they put Rattrap in the cell with Ratbat. And Ultra Magnus and Rocketgale left to save Starscream.
