When Shockwave finished using the Cortical psychic patch on Starscream he put him in another cell and also put stasis cuffs and a wing clamp on him to keep the seeker from trying to escape again.

"See that didn't hurt as much as the claw." Shockwave told him. "At lest not physically you had to relive a lot of painful memories." "And that one where the Predicons attacked you I was the one who told them where you'd be I thought you should be put out of your misery." "I pity you Starscream no one cares if you live or die and everything you've done has only blown up in your face."

Starscream just continued to lay there to weak and injured to move or speak.

"Don't worry you should go offline fairly quick all I have to do is leave you alone and left untreated your condition will worsen and your spark should go out." Said Shockwave who left his lab.

Starscream just stayed propped against a corner of his cell and closed his optics mainly because it was becoming harder and harder to keep them open and he felt so bad all he wanted to do was rest.

Meanwhile Ultra Magnus and Rocketgale were on their way to Shockwave's lab to save Starscream. Ultra Magnus had told the other Autobots to stay at base and they'd call if they needed back up or a ground bridge.

Then they heard someone driving behind them and thought it might be Ransack or Crumblezone so they both turned around ready to shoot which ever one it was.

"Wait don't shoot it's me." Knock Out revealed himself.

"What are you doing here?" Asked Ultra Magnus. "I thought I told everyone else to wait at the base."

"You did but I thought you should have a medic because there's no telling what shape Starscream will be in when we get there." Knock Out explained. "I'm sorry for going against orders but I've seen what Shockwave is capable of and if we're going to save Screamer ever second counts."

"It's OK sounds like you made the right call by coming." Said Ultra Magnus. "Normally I don't condone going against orders but in this case you had a good reason Starscream may need medical treatment right away."

Then the three continued on their way to Shockwave's lab to save their friend.

A few hours later they arrived at Shockwave's lab. And went in to look for Starscream it was a big place so they were each looking in different parts of it. They found a lot of experiments Shockwave had been working on and blueprints for different things.

Then they found the cell with the door Starscream broke down earlier which had some energon on it and there was energon inside the cell too.

Rocketgale saw a hallway she went down and at the end was another cell.

"Guys get back here quick!" Yelled Rocketgale. "I found him and he doesn't look good."

Ultra Magnus and Knock Out hurried down the hall and found where Rocketgale was standing next to the cell and they could see Starscream laying in a corner of it. It was hard to tell if the seeker was dead or alive because he wasn't moving and they could tell he had been badly hurt. Ultra Magnus shot the door of the cell down so they could get to him.

"Starscream." Said Rocketgale who ran to the injured seeker's side. Then Knock Out came over to examine him.

The first thing Knock Out did was get the stasis cuffs and wing clamp off him. And was horrified to see that the wing clamp had been over a wound on one of his wings. (The one where Shockwave had shot him earlier.) Knock Out also saw the damage done to Starscream's mouth. "What did that monster do?" Rocketgale heard Knock Out whisper.

Then Ultra Magnus who had gone out to look around Shockwave's lab came back with the Endoscopic Claw that still had Starscream's energon on it. "I think this might be what he used on Starscream?" Said Ultra Magnus who handed it to Knock Out.

"The Endoscopic Claw that's sick even for Shockwave." Groaned Knock Out who sounded both horrified and disgusted.

"Shock!" "Shockwave!" Whimpered Starscream who had come to but was still out of it and very frantic but was cut off by Rocketgale. "Shh." "don't try to talk you need to save your strength we're gonna take you through the ground bridge and to the med bay to get you fixed up." Said Rocketgale. "And don't worry Shockwave isn't here and we won't let him hurt you anymore." Starscream seemed to relax a bit after hearing Rocketgale next to him and closed his optics.

"This is Ultra Magnus we need a ground bridge and get the med bay ready." Ultra Magnus said over his com-link.

Just then Shockwave came in with Ransack and Crumblezone. And the three started firing at them just as the ground bridge opened Knock Out and Rocketgale were both helping Starscream through the ground bridge and Ultra Magnus was shooting at Shockwave, Ransack and Crumblezone before he and the others exited through the ground bridge but Shockwave fired his arm cannon into the ground bridge before it closed.

To Be Continued.

Yeah someone got shot.
