Starscream, Jailbreak ,Kate and Mason arrived at the cave and Mason got to work trying to fix Knock Out who had gone into stasis lock while Starscream was looking for energon. Starscream just hoped that Mason would be able to save him.

Jailbreak was also helping because she had learned enough first aid to patch herself up if she got hurt and could help Mason with any cybertronian parts he wasn't familiar with.

Starscream was worried about Knock Out he'd never seen the red medic look this bad and was afraid he might not make it.

Starscream had to step out of the cave to clear his processor then Jailbreak came out as well once she was confident Mason could fix Knock Out on his own.

"I think your friend is going to make it." Jailbreak tried to reassure the seeker.

"I hope your right." Starscream said to her still feeling bad about the part he played in Knock Out getting hurt and blaming himself for it.

"You know you and him are the first I've seen of my own kind since I was a sparkling." She told him.

"Your kidding." Starscream told her shocked by what he'd just heard.

"It's true when I was a sparkling I lived on Velocitron and one day when I was racing my older brother I was captured by the Quintessons and got hurt." She told him. "My memory banks were damaged and I only remember bits and pieces of my life on Velocitron." "Like I remember I had a big brother but I don't remember him or even what his name was."

"That's so sad." Starscream said to her. "Why did the Quintessons take you?"

"They wanted to experiment on me." She explained. "I tried to escape countless times that's actually how I became an escape artist." "But there was one Quintesson who wasn't like the others his name was Alpha Q he was the closest thing to a parent I had and eventually he was able to help me escape." "By putting me in an escape pod and making it look like an accident." "The pod landed on earth and I've been here ever since."

"So you've been alone all this time." Asked Starscream.

Just then they heard something that sounded like buzzing and went to see what it was.

They walked to where the noise was coming from and were surprised to see an Insecticon with it's foot stuck under some rocks.

"No Waspinator stuck!" They heard the Insecticon moan. "No stay away from Waspinator!" It said when it saw them.

"I take it it's name is Waspinator." Starscream told Jailbreak.

"Waspinator we're not here to hurt you don't be scared." Jailbreak said to Waspinator.

"Everyone hurt Waspinator!" "Why you not what to hurt Waspinator?" Asked Waspinator.

"Wow that's harsh." Said Jailbreak. "We don't want to hurt you because it's wrong and no one should be treated like that." She told him.

"And in my case I know how it feels." Starscream added. Remembering the treatment he used to get from Megatron. "Let's get you out of there."

Then Starscream and Jailbreak worked together to free Waspinator's leg and saw how much bigger he was compared to them about the normal size for an Insecticon and he changed into a wasp alt mode.

"Thanks for freeing Waspinator." Waspinator told them once he was free. "Waspinator looking for energon and rocks fall on Waspinator's leg." "Thanks for helping Waspinator." "No one ever nice to Waspinator before."

"No problem." Said Jailbreak. "That's what friends are for right."

"Waspinator have friends?" Waspinator replied looking a bit confused.

"Yes Waspinator we'll be your friends." Starscream told him. "Want to come back to the cave with us?" "My name is Starscream and this is Jailbreak."

"Waspinator go to cave with Starbot and Jailbot." Replied Waspinator.

Jailbreak couldn't help but chuckle at how Waspinator said their names. Starscream seemed more annoyed but even he couldn't help smiling at how happy Waspinator was to have friends.

Then they went back to the cave where Kate and Mason got to meet Waspinator. And Kate said she thought he was kind of cute with the way he acted and spoke.

But Starscream was still worried about Knock Out. Mason had done everything he could to fix him now they had to wait for Knock Out to come back online to see if he would make it or not.

Jailbreak and Waspinator went out to look for energon while Starscream stayed in the cave with Kate and Mason waiting to see if Knock Out would pull through.

Starscream ended up going into recharge because he was more worn out then he thought.

He woke up later and saw it was now morning.

"Did Knock Out make it?" He asked the two humans who were still in the cave with him.

"I don't know why don't you ask him?" Said Knock Out's voice from behind him.

"Knock Out your OK." Said Starscream relieved to see that the red mech looked as good as new other then the spot where he'd been shot. And could tell the damage to his paint was driving him nuts. "I'm so sorry about what happened on Cybertron."

"Don't worry about that you already apologized for what you said and I think the fact that you saved my life makes up for it." "And I'm sorry too." Knock Out told him. Then they shook hands.

Then Starscream tripped and hit his com-link against part of the cave and it displayed the transmission from Optimus Prime which he quickly turned off but not before Knock Out read it.

"You were given a mission from Optimus Prime." Knock Out said surprised by what he'd just seen. "You have to do this mission Starscream then they'll probably welcome you as an Autobot."

"I'm not an Autobot." Starscream said to him. "I'm not even a Decepticon anymore I don't belong with ether fraction."

"Starscream don't you see this might be your chance to make up for the past?" Knock Out told him. "And Optimus trust's you to do this mission and if the Autobots are disappearing we have to find out why."

"You know come to think of it I bet the one who shot you might have something to do with it?" Starscream thought out loud.

"I think that's probably a safe bet." Knock Out agreed. "In that case I want to help you so I can make him pay for what he did to my paint." He added winning a chuckle from Starscream. Knock Out was definitely back to himself.

"OK but we'll have to figure out a way back to Cybertron." Said Starscream. "And when the others get back we can ask them if they want to help too."

"OK I can't wait to meet them now that I'm not unconscious and fighting for my life anymore." Knock Out said with a smirk.

Then they both chatted with Kate and Mason while they waited for Jailbreak and Waspinator to get back.
