Sideways watched from his hiding spot behind some trees as Knock Out was doing everything in his power to save Starscream who he had just shot.

He had been aiming for the medic but the flyer had gotten in the way and taken the blast in the doctor's place.

Now all he could do was hope the seeker pulled thought knowing he had messed up big time Liege Maximo had made a point of wanting Starscream brought to him alive.

He was tempted to take another shot at the red transformer but right now he needed him to save Starscream or Liege Maximo would definitely kill him if the former Decepticon died at his hand.

So he just got out of there not wanting anyone to know he'd shot the seeker. And leaving the medic to save him. And vowing to kill Knock Out the next chance he got as he ran off into the night without anyone knowing he'd been there.

Meanwhile Knock Out managed to get Starscream stable but the seeker was still in very bad shape.

"Starscream please hold on you've made it through way worse then this." Knock Out begged his friend.

"Someone's coming." DeAnn pointed out. "They must have gotten the distress signal Spotlight put out."

Knock Out and Spotlight both got ready to fight in case it was an enemy and were surprised when it turned out to be Shockwave.

"Oh no seriously if we didn't already have enough to deal with." Knock Out said not sounding happy knowing Shockwave was bad news.

"I'm not here to fight with any of you I want to stop Liege Maximo he is behind this he wants to take over Cybertron and Warsiren is working for him and will betray him."

"She the one who attacked and almost killed Megatron Soundwave told us about her." Knock Out explained.

"I heard about Liege Maximo he's bad news a former Prime turned evil if she wants to betray him shouldn't we let her." "I mean she can't be worse then he is right?" Knock Out continued.

"That's where your wrong she isn't a real cybertronian I found her in a mech compound during the war when mech took Starscream's T-cog that wasn't all they got from him they got his CNA as well and somehow managed to clone him." Shockwave told them.

"I found her in one of their hideouts she was unstable and I couldn't resist the chance for an experiment so I filled in the gapes with some of Megatron's CNA." He continued.

"You did what!" Yelled Knock Out.

"So she's basically a clone of both Starscream and Megatron." Said Spotlight.

"Yes and she went rouge having inherited both there worst traits." Shockwave added. "She tried to kill me and she has Starscream's cunning, Megatron's brute strength and both their lusts for power and I used dark energon to bring her online."

"She fought Megatron and almost killed him!" "Megatron!" Knock Out screamed at him. "Do you realize what you've unleashed?"

"Yes and I want to help stop it to help you save Cybertron would be logical." Shockwave told them. "I will start by helping you save Starscream."

"Oh ok then." Knock Out said realizing Shockwave was on there side. Then he and Shockwave got to work trying to save Starscream's life.

"If  he survives he's going to have to learn to fly and fight all over again." Shockwave said pointing out where Starscream's wing had been grazed. And the blast had been dangerously close to his spark chamber.

_                                                        

For Starscream everything had gone dark and he was seeing different parts of his life as though it was a dream.

He felt cold and it was like everything was getting farther and farther away. Was this it? Was he dying? Becoming one with the Allspark?

He felt ready to just let it happen to just give up and let go. He thought of how close he'd come to dying so many times in the past he was tired of fighting it.

But then he thought of his mission and how he had to complete it for Sky Fire. And his friends Knock Out, Spotlight and DeAnn. DeAnn still needed him to be her guardian. And only he know where the Matrix of Leadership was hidden.

They needed him to save Cybertron and possibly Earth as well. He couldn't let his friends down. He had found a reason to fight he had found a reason to live.

The next thing he knew his optics shot open and he saw that his wounds had been patched up. He was still alive.

Knock Out and Shockwave were both standing nearby where he was laying and Spotlight and DeAnn were there as well.

"Hey Screamer thanks for pushing me out of the way back there but next time try not to cut it so close you really scared us." Knock Out told him.

"I'll be more careful because if I die who'll save your tailpipe next time a sniper tries to shoot you." Starscream teased his friend. "And thanks for not letting me go offline."

"Anytime." Knock Out said to the seeker.

Starscream would have to take it easy for a couple of days before they could continue on their way to the scrap yard. But a bit of rest sounded good. And right now they were all just glad he was alive and going to recover.

To Be Continued.

Sorry if this chapter was short and if it felt rushed it was a nightmare to come up with. But now you know Warsiren's back story and true nature now will they be able to stop her as well as Liege Maximo? And what was up with Sideways and why is he so bent on killing Knock Out? These questions will all be answered in time. I'll try to have chapter Seven done soon. In the meantime feel free to send feedback.
