Guilt
Prowl was just leaving the police station it was late at night so he was going back to base to get some recharge when he heard screaming and saw a Decepticon being attacked by Voss from the DJD.
He recognized the Decepticon as Octane a dark red and purple Decepticon with hints of brown who liked to play both sides. But as soon as Voss spotted Prowl he took off running and Octane took the opportunity to turn on his heels and run escaping the seen.
While Prowl ran after Voss not wanting to let the DJD member get away. They ran until they came to a building. And Voss ran inside.
"Oh scrap!" Said Prowl after realizing he'd just chased Voss into the Autobots base. Then ran in after him afraid of what damage he might do or that he'd tell the DJD where the base was if he got away.
Voss ran down the hall and Prowl fell behind for a minute and didn't see which way Voss went. Prowl was looking in each room wanting to capture Voss to get him to lead him to the rest of the DJD.
But Prowl didn't see Voss sneak into Starsiren's room. The seeker femme who had been in recharge woke up as soon as she heard the door close. And started to scream when she saw him there.
But seeing what she was about to do he ran over and clamped his servo over her mouth and slammed her down against the berth. Then took off his face and was about to put it on her.
Starsiren was now in full panic mode and kicking at him trying to keep him back and from putting that awful thing on her face. But he was forcing his way closer to her.
Just when he was about to shove the mask like torture device over Starsiren's faceplate Smokescreen suddenly phased through the door of her room using his phase shifter and then phased through Voss and pulled Starsiren through him and the two ran out the door to safety. While Prowl ran up and put stasis cuffs on Voss while he was still trying to process what just happened.
"Starsiren are you OK?" Smokescreen asked the visibly frightened seeker.
"Yes I'm OK." "Is it always this exciting around this base?" She asked still shaking but starting to calm down now that she was safe.
"Usually not till daytime." Smokescreen explained.
"Thanks for saving me." Starsiren told him.
"Your welcome." He answered.
Then Prowl pulled Voss out of Starsiren's room and took him to a holding cell as Starsiren and Smokescreen followed.
Prowl tried to question Voss about the DJD but it turned out Voss couldn't speak so this proved useless.
So he call Ratchet to the base to help him use a chronical psychic patch on him to get the information they needed seeing no other way.
While in his head they saw several of the victims the DJD had killed be brutally murdered by them which disturbed Prowl, Ratchet, Smokescreen and Starsiren. So much that Smokescreen and Starsiren had to leave the room.
Then Prowl and Ratchet saw how the DJD had tortured Knock Out which made Prowl mad specially when he saw Voss smirk at that memory like he enjoyed seeing Knock Out suffer.
Suddenly Prowl tackled Voss who was still in stasis cuffs and couldn't fight back and started hitting him hard with one punch after another. Until Voss was on the floor leaking energon.
"Prowl stop he's had enough if you beat him anymore you'll kill him and you can't take his spark!" Ratchet told him.
"Why because he's defenseless like Knock Out was?!" Prowl hissed angrily.
"No because your an Autobot and if you kill him then you'll be just like him it's not our way and I don't think it's what Knock Out would want." Ratchet told him but he secretly felt like hurting Voss as much as Prowl did. But as a medic and Autobot fought the urge to spite feeling tempted to just let Prowl have at it.
Prowl calmed down and they put Voss in a stasis pod Ratchet said he'd fix him when he was feeling better and less likely to do damage to him instead of fixing it. And Prowl could tell Ratchet was just as angry at Voss as he was.
"Thanks for stopping me before I went to far." Prowl said to Ratchet.
"I think we've all been there at one time or other." Ratchet replied. "And your welcome."

Then Prowl left to check out a location that Voss's memories revealed. Another one of the DJD's hideouts but upon arriving he was disappointed to find they had relocated again and it was cleaned out like the last one had been.
But Prowl decided to look around to make sure they hadn't left anyone for dead like they'd done with Knock Out.
But was relieved not to find anyone. But saw something that had been dropped on the floor when the DJD had abandoned their base.
Prowl went over to examine it closer and saw that it was Knock Out's T-cog. It had apparently been dropped when they'd left. Prowl took it and went back to base.
After returning he took the T-cog to Ratchet who said it was still in good shape and went straight to the hospital to put it back in Knock Out.
After Prowl had been staying in the waiting room for hours Ratchet came out and reported that Knock Out's T-cog was now back where it belonged and the operation had gone perfectly. But Knock Out's condition still hadn't changed and he was still unresponsive.
Prowl left the hospital relieved Knock Out had his T-cog back but wishing the red medic would wake up and be OK. The police car had been working nonstop trying to bring down the DJD and had almost crossed a line when integrating Voss. He was taking this case to personally.
Was he really trying to bring the DJD to justice or avenging Knock Out or was he just trying to get over his own guilt? If he'd been a better partner to Knock Out on there mission instead of just trying to push him out of the way the Austin Martin wouldn't have gotten hurt or gone through any of this.
Optimus had asked them to work together on that case and now Knock Out was laying on a medical berth in a coma and it was all his fault.
Prowl was angry at the DJD for hurting Knock Out but he was really more angry at himself because he blamed himself for what happened to Knock Out if he had only worked with the medic instead of pushing him away so he could do it himself Knock Out wouldn't be in this shape. Then he arrived back at base.

"Prowl how's Knock Out?" Asked Smokescreen knowing where he'd just came form.
"He's still fighting." Prowl told him. "He's going to live but we still don't know if he'll wake up or if he'll spend the rest of his life on a medical berth."
Then Prowl noticed Ratchet had just arrived at the base who explained Red Alert was tending to Knock Out. And that Starsiren had called him there because she wanted him to use the patch on her.
"If you can use that thing to go far enough back in my memories maybe I can learn what happened to my parents and why I've spent my life on the streets or at least see what they looked like." She explained.
"OK Starsiren if this is what you want but there no telling what you might see or what repressed memories you might visit." Ratchet warned her.
"This is what I want I need to know." Starsiren answered. "And I want you guys to be there."
Then they all started to head to the med bay when a ship landed Prowl told the others to go ahead and that he would catch up and they obeyed.
Prowl walked to the ship and Optimus Prime came out but the other bot who was with him shocked Prowl.
"What is he doing here?" Asked Prowl who was surprised to see that the Prime was accompanied by none other then Starscream.
"Starscream has changed sides and he wants to help you bring down the DJD after hearing about what happened to Knock Out." Optimus explained.
"Knock Out is one of the only friends I've had I want to make them pay for doing that to him." Said Starscream. "And since I switched sides its only a matter of time before the DJD comes after me so it would be in my best interest to help you bring them down."
"OK then welcome to the team." Prowl told him.
Then Optimus had to go to Earth to help Bumblebee's team with something but told them to call if they needed him for anything then left.
Then Prowl went to the med bay where Starsiren was already using the patch and joined Smokescreen watching the footage from her memories.
They saw Starsiren as a sparking and a White and light blue seeker femme with yellow optics who they guessed was Starsiren's mother and then they saw Tarn come in and Starsiren's mother started asking him who he was and what he was doing there?
Then he took out a hot piece of metal in the shape of the Decepticon shield and held it to Starsiren's wing making the sparkling wail in pain. Starsiren's mother attacked Tarn making him let go of her then took off with Starsiren in her arms yelling "Don't touch my sparkling!" Then Tarn started shooting at them as if trying to kill Starsiren's mother.
And suddenly bombs started going off around them that was the day the seeker capital Voss had been destroyed under Megatron's orders. Starsiren's mother got her out of the city and hid her in a cave near Iacon. "Don't worry sweetspark I'll be back." She told Starsiren before flying off.
Prowl and Smokescreen felt bad for Starsiren watching what had happened to her as a sparking. Just then they heard Starscream who had just walked in cry out then faint after looking at the screen.
