Everyone transformed and went to see what had caused the boom. Starscream, Thundercracker and Waspinator were the first to arrive on the seen followed by Knock Out and Jailbreak. By now the sun was up.

They all approached the area where the boom had come from and saw that a small ship had crashed there. Then a cybertronian came out he was purple and yellow with horns on his helm and was sporting a Decepticon logo on his shoulder.

"I see I was lucky enough to run into some fellow Decepticons my name is Sideways." Said the new Decepticon. "Oh and I see you have an Autobot prisoner." He added looking at Knock Out who had an Autobot logo on his shoulder that he had added after he switch sides.

"He's not a prisoner the war is over and the Autobots won in fact we're on a mission trying to find out why some of the Autobots are disappearing." Starscream explained. "The original Decepticon cause is no more." "So you can join us and help us find the Autobots and see if they will welcome us on their team or you can fight us as an enemy or just go off on your own it's your choice."

"Well that what I like to hear." Said Sideways and suddenly his logo flipped and changed into an Autobot one and his optics changed from red to blue.

"Wow how did you do that?" Asked Knock Out.

"Oh the truth is I'm an Autobot spy who was sent during the war to spy on the enemy faction." Sideways told them. "And I'd be happy to help you on your mission."

"Well welcome to the team." Starscream exclaimed. "We'll lead the way back to the cave we're using for a base."

"Glad to be on board." Sideways said to him as they all transformed and Sideways changed into a motorcycle and his horns became the handlebars. "Now lead the way."

"Starscream I don't think I trust Sideways he just showed up out of the blue and tells us he's on one faction then changed it to the other that had the upper hand and said he was a spy in the war but I never heard of him." Said Knock Out over the com-link so Sideways couldn't hear. "That whole story seems suspicious."

"You worry to much." Starscream answered him. "But we'll keep an eye on him just in case."

Then suddenly they heard screaming coming from the lake. And rush over there to see what was going on. And saw Thunderblast being shot at by a jet.

"Who are you and why are you attacking Thunderblast?" Asked Starscream.

"I'm Thrust and it's called target practice." The jet said coldly then transformed into a cybertronian mode he was gray with green as a secondary color and his head look like a squid.

"Well stop it your hurting her!" Yelled Knock Out.

"Oh I remember you two from Cybertron." Thrust said looking at Starscream and Knock Out. "I see you both survived you see I'm the one who shot at you and you both seem to be getting along much better." "When I opened fire on you the two of you were about to rip each other apart."

"Your the one who opened fire on us on Cybertron Knock Out was almost killed!" Hissed Starscream. "He barley survived that!" "Why did you try to kill us?"

"I was ordered to by my superior my master wants to destroy Cybertron his orders are to capture all the Autobots because he wants them to see the destruction of their planet as punishment for messing up his plan." Thrust told them. "And I was also ordered to kill all the Decepticons because their too unpredictable."

"And who would this master be?" Asked Jailbreak.

"Unicron." Thrust replied.

"Your insane taking orders from Unicron!" Yelled Knock Out. "Your a transformer why do you want to destroy Cybertron?" "And how is Unicron free I thought Optimus trapped him in a cylinder?"

"He did but we fixed that." Said Thrust. "And Unicron promised to let us rule the universe along side him."

"Rule this!" Yelled Sideways who opened fire on Thrust.

Thrust was taken off guard and shot the top of a cave that Thunderblast had decided to hide in that was in the middle of the lake and made it cave in on her.

"I'll help Thunderblast don't let Thrust escape." Knock Out told the others knowing as a medic he was the one who was best qualified to help Thunderblast.

While the others took off after Thrust.

Starscream, Thundercracker, Waspinator, and Jailbreak were chasing Trust and noticed Sideways wasn't there.

Then Thrust fired at Jailbreak. And she through her arms over her head out of reflex but the blast didn't hit. She looked up and saw Thundercracker had jumped in front of her and been shot instead but luckily the injury wasn't a bad one.

"I'm OK." Thundercracker told Starscream, Waspinator and Jailbreak who stopped to make sure he was alright. Jailbreak and Waspinator both helped Thundercracker back to base while Starscream continued after Thrust.

Starscream managed to catch up to Thrust and started fighting him in his jet mode as he followed him through the sky.

"Tell my how did you free Unicron and where is he?" Shouted Starscream. "Unicron can't be aloud to destroy Cybertron please help me stop him he'll only turn on you and destroy you too."

"No he's going to take over the universe and share the spoils with us." Thrust told the seeker.

"Who's us?" Starscream asked him.

"Oh I've been saying way too much I'll take my leave now." Thrust told him as he fired his missiles at the cave where Knock Out was currently trying to find Thunderblast. Thrust had lead Starscream in a circle. Starscream flew down to the cave hoping to reach Knock Out before he was buried alive with Thunderblast.

Meanwhile Knock Out had been digging through rocks trying to find Thunderblast. It was times like this that his drill came in handy. He finally found Thunderblast she was unconscious and badly injured but still alive. Knock Out quickly got the rocks off her and gently lifted her into his arms and was about to exist the cave when he heard a boom and it started to cave in on them.

Knock Out was doing his best to avoid falling rocks while carrying Thunderblast. Then water started shooting through some holes where the lake was connected to the cave. Knock Out was hit by a blast of water and the pressure was strong and the red medic had to struggle to stay on his feet and hold on to Thunderblast.

But suddenly he lost his footing. He was now being swept away. He had to grab onto something but couldn't because he would have to let go of Thunderblast and didn't want to let her get swept away. Knock Out just knew they were both going to die.

Then he felt someone grab him by the shoulders. "I've got you don't worry I'll try to pull you up just don't let go of her!" Yelled a voice that he recognized as Sideways.

"OK please hurry." Knock Out replied weakly.

Sideways was trying his best to pull Knock Out and Thunderblast to safety but wasn't strong enough. Just then Starscream got there and between the two of them they managed to get them both to safety. And just in time because the whole cave came down behind them.
_                                                    

Then they went back to base and got Thunderblast to the med bay where Knock Out got to work and Sideways brought some medical supplies from the crash sight of his ship. That would come in handy.

A few hours later Knock Out reported that Thunderblast was going to be fine. Which everyone was relieved to hear.

And Starscream was also glad to see that Thundercracker was doing fine and had made it back safely with Jailbreak and Waspinator.

"Thanks for saving me." Thunderblast told Knock Out as he finished treating her injuries.

"Your welcome but Sideways and Starscream were the ones who got us out of there." He explained to her.

"But you were the one who didn't let me go." She told him. "I'm sorry I said your vehicle mode was tacky before."

"And I'm sorry about what I said about yours when I was being blasted with water back there I kind of wished I could change into a boat." He told her and they both laughed. "But now I think I'd prefer to stay on land."

"So what happened to you I saw the damage that Thrust caused but it looked like something else got to you first?" Knock Out asked her.

"It was Megatron." She said sadly. "I saw him and went to say hi and he beat me then started shooting at me and I don't even know why he was silent the whole time and I barley managed to escape then Thrust started shooting at me for no reason." "What did I do to deserve that?"

"Nothing Thrust just tried to kill you because you had a Decepticon badge he said he was ordered to kill the Decepticons and capture the Autobots." Knock Out explained. "And I don't even know what Megatron was doing here." Then Knock Out noticed coolant tears falling from Thunderblast's optics.

"Why?" "Why did he attack me I loved him and he tried to destroy me." She said and Knock Out could see the pain in her optics.

"That's just the way he's always been usually there a reason for it but just asked Starscream and he'll tell you Megatron always had a habit of beating his men during the war." "But attacking a femme for no reason is sick even for him." Knock Out told her. "Thunderblast you deserve better." "He's not for you." "You deserve to be with someone who would treat you better then that."

"Thank you." She told him as she left to go back to wherever she'd been staying. But looked back and smile at him before leaving. Knock Out starred at where she went smiling as well.

"Wow my bother has a girlfriend." Said Jailbreak.

"She's not my girlfriend." Knock Out protested. "What about you and Thundercracker?" He added with a mischievous smirk.

"We're just friends." She told him but if she were human she would have been blushing.

"Sure you are." He said as he went to where Starscream was and told him about what Thunderblast had said about Megatron being there.

"I don't like it." Starscream told him. "Thrust said we a lot so someone besides him is working for Unicron."

"And you think it's Megatron?" Asked Knock Out.

"No I don't think Megatron would willing serve Unicron." "But I think Unicron might have taken Megatron over again." Starscream explained. "But I think someone else is helping them and we need to find out who."

"Agreed." Knock Out said to him.

"But it's late now and the team should rest." Starscream said noticing the sun had gone down and thinking his team had gone through a lot and could use some recharging time. And they agreed to get to work on trying to figure out who was working with Thrust and Unicron the next day and they'd try to find out if Starscream's Megatron being taken over by Unicron again theory was true.
_                                                  

On his way to recharge Knock Out ran into Sideways.

"I want to apologize to you I didn't trust you earlier but you saved me and Thunderblast today and you've proven yourself so I guess what I'm saying is I know we can trust you now and thanks for the save." Knock Out told Sideways and the two shook hands.

Then suddenly the team heard some horns honking and went out of the cave to see what was going on. And were surprised to see Bumblebee and his team outside.

"We've track a Decepticon signal to this location." Said Bumblebee. "But I didn't expect to find you hear." "Starscream your under arrest!"

To Be Continued.

This can't go well.
