The next day Ratchet and Knock Out finished building Starscream's new body and transferred his spark into it.

Then Starscream looked at himself in a mirror that was in the base.

"Nice job guys I think this looks even better then my old one did." Starscream told them. "But of course no one quite knows how to do a paint job like you do Knock Out."

"I'm glad you like it." Knock Out said as he left the medbay. They could tell he still hadn't recovered from his ordeal and they were all still morning Arcee but none more then Knock Out and Jack.

Raf, Miko and Smokescreen had been trying to cheer Jack up. While Shayna, DeAnn and Starscream had been trying to help Knock Out the red mech had been acting like a zombie ever since he'd gotten back.

He hadn't at all been himself and everyone felt bad for him. And it was hard for all of them whenever the bots would go on a mission, fuel up or recharge knowing there was one less then there should be.

Starscream left the medbay and caught up with Knock Out.

"Knock Out this isn't good for you." Starscream told his friend. "I know this is hard because I miss her too but you need to get those feelings out some how because the other members of the team need you."

"I know hit me." Starscream told him.

"Why?" Knock Out asked.

"Because you need to get those frustrations out and that's what Megatron did all the time." Starscream explained.

"Go ahead and give me a good hard wack." Starscream told him.

"I'm not doing that." Knock Out said walking away. Still feeling sad and now thinking the seeker had lost it.

But then everyone suddenly heard a crash.

Knock Out quickly turned around and ran alone with several other members of the team to where Starscream was now laying on the floor having been punched through a wall by Grimlock.

"Grimlock why did you hit Starscream?" Asked Smokescreen.

"Well he said he wanted someone to give him a good wack." Grimlock explained. "And I love punching things."

"I was talking to Knock Out." Starscream told him pulling himself off the floor he was fine other then being embarrassed. "I was trying to help him work through his feelings."

"Never ask someone to hit you if there's a Dinobot in the room." Said DeAnn.

"Noted." Starscream replied then everyone went about their business.

Knock Out was about to go down the hallway to his berth room. When Jack came up to him.

"I'm sorry about the way I acted and what I said yesterday." Jack told Knock Out. "I know what happened wasn't your fault and you did everything you could."

"It's ok." Knock Out told him. "If I was only a better warrior or there was something, anything I could have done differently."

"You did everything you could and you got back here and warned us about that monster so we can be ready for him." Jack said to the Austin Martin. "Arcee would have been proud."

"Thanks." Knock Out told him.

Later Bumblebee saw Screamout activate the ground bridge.

"Where are you going?" He asked her.

"I'm going to look for that monster or Shockwave so I can make them pay." Screamout answered him.

"Screamout that's not the answer." Bumblebee told her.

"Why shouldn't I go after them?" Screamout asked. "Arcee is dead, Jack's grieving and Knock Out's traumatized!" "Why shouldn't I make those monsters suffer?"

"Because first of all that would make you no better then they are. And that's not what Arcee or anyone on this team would want." Bumblebee explained. "And secondly I don't wanna see you die today."

Screamout turned off the ground bridge and the two of them looked at each other then hugged.

Meanwhile on Cybertron Shockwave and Quintessa went to recapture Shockwave's creation.

And found him standing near the sea of rust. Looking out at the horizon.

"You must come back to the lab with us you were brought online permanently and I must complete you." Shockwave told him. "It would be logical to let me make you whole."

But neither Shockwave or Quintessa expected the mech to burst out laughing evily in a way that reminded Shockwave of Megatron.

"And what exactly am I lacking because I think I have everything I need to rule Cybertron with an iron fist." The mech replied.

"I didn't create you to rule Cybertron I made you to fight Unicron." Shockwave told him. "And doing that without the power of the Matrix Of Leadership would be illogical."

"I do not need your logic. I can already grind any opponent under my heel." The mech gloated. It was easy to see that he had gotten mostly a cross of Megatron's and Starscream's personalities having gotten both their arrogance and lust for power.

"Let's see I need a name maybe Necroscream?" The mech said now talking to himself more then them. "No Necrotron yes Necrotron is perfect." He added pleased with the name he'd chosen.

"And I'm not going back to a lab to be your experament I am not a laboratory specimen I am to be the ruler of Cybertron and the universe will fear me." Necrotron told them.

Quintessa decided to use her mind control on him to make him go back to Shockwave's lab. But it didn't turn out as expected.

She went over and touched the side of his face and his optics turned purple then she turned to lead him back to the lab.

But he remained standing there so she went back to see what had gone wrong only to suddenly be gripped by the throat by him as he looked her in the optics as his changed back to red.

"No one controls Necrotron now parish Witch!" Necrotron hissed as he stabbed her with his blade then used his servos to rip her in half and tossed her now lifeless body to the ground.

Shockwave had already taken the opportunity to retreat. Knowing he would need a plan and wouldn't be able to deal with Necrotron on his own.

For the first time Shockwave was regretting having done an experament. But now that he had created this monster how was anyone going to stop it?

Necrotron saw that Shockwave had left but didn't think anything of it and change into his jet mode and flew out into space heading for Earth.

To Be Continued.
