Transformers Outbreak

Chapter 9

Everyone went to the hospital as soon as it was no longer under lockdown all wanting to be there for Knock Out who still hadn't woken up yet.

Ratchet and the others who had the virus were all doing much better and were back to normal now but Knock Out was the only one who had gotten the virus from an injection and had been affected worse then the others.

And if he didn't regain consciousness by morning he probably never would.

So everyone was going to spend the night in the waiting room. Hoping their friend would be OK.

All of a sudden they heard a scream from outside and rushed to see what happened and found Steve who had been stabbed in the shoulder and the other Vehicons were already gathered around their friend trying to help him.

Upon seeing what was going on First Aid jumped into action. Fortunately it was only a mesh wound and Steve would be fine.

"What happened?" Asked Bumblebee.

"We don't know some bot who was wearing a cloak just came up and stabbed him we didn't get a good look at who it was." Explained one of the other Vehicons.

"Maybe it was Axer?" Said Arcee.

"If so we can't let him get away." Bumblebee told them then they all spilt up to look for the fugitive hoping to bring him to justice.

Meanwhile Ratchet went inside to check on Knock Out and make sure Axer hadn't gone to his room afraid that he might try to hurt the red medic.

Upon entering he was greeted by the sight of Axer who had Starscream and was holding his energon dagger to the seeker's spark chamber in such a way that if he tried to struggle Starscream would be stabbed in the spark chamber.

"Nice of you to join us doctor I know if I made you think there was a threat someone would come to check on Knock Out." Axer said darkly.

Ratchet didn't know why Starscream was staying quiet until he spotted energon coming from the seeker's neckcables. And knew that Axer had gotten him there with his energon dagger.

"Get away from Knock Out and let Starscream go you monster!" Ratchet hissed at Axer.

"This seeker was the one who ruined my plan so I was glad when he came to check on Knock Out before you did and I was able to jump him." Axer explained.

"He tried to call out for help but I was able to slash his neckcables to silence him." He added. "And if you call for help or leave I'll kill him then Knock Out."

"Please don't do this it's over Axer the rest of the team is looking for you and will catch you before you make it out of this hospital." Ratchet desperately tried to reason with him.

"Please at least let me look at Starscream's neckcables and treat him." Ratchet added.

"No I want him to either go mute or bleed out." Axer told him coldly.

"Now the two of you are coming with me because I doubt Knock Out will ever wake up." Axer added as he continued to hold the energon dagger to Starscream's spark chamber and started to force them out the door.

Just as they got the the hall way they suddenly heard a voice cry out.

"By the Allspark my poor finish!" Yelled Knock Out who had just come back online two seconds after they walked out the door.

This distracted Axer long enough for Starscream to knock the energon dagger out of his servo and then he and Ratchet jumped him. And upon hearing a struggle Bumblebee and Arcee ran up and put stasis cuffs on Axer then took him to the police.

Then First Aid who had finished treating Steve got to work on Starscream's neckcables while Ratchet went to check on Knock Out.

And a little while later First Aid said Starscream was going to be fine but told him not to talk for a few days to let his voice heal.

And Ratchet report that Knock Out was fine too and should be fully back to normal after a few more days of bed rest.
_                                                                       

Later they used a patch on Axer to find out what all he had been guilty of and just how big a role he had played in Shockwave's plan and found enough to have them both locked up for a long time.

They also learned how Axer had tampered with Pharma's medication and had made Knock Out unknowingly kill him.

Ratchet felt bad about this because he had been the one who asked Knock Out to give it to him not knowing what it really was.

They all assured Ratchet it wasn't his fault and that everyone knew that him nor Knock Out was to blame for Pharma's death it had been Axer and Shockwave and Pharma's own fault for getting involved in their plan to begin with.

But they all agreed to keep this information from Knock Out knowing it would destroy him if he knew he had killed a patient even if it had been unknowingly and unintentionally.

The red medic had been trying to make up for his past as a Decepticon and he would definitely blame himself and would probably never forgive himself if he thought he had taken a life during peace times.

Then Axer was taken to jail and locked up with Shockwave. And the Autobot's were glad their friends were OK and that everyone had been cured from the virus. For now Cybertron was safe and they were glad.

To Be Continued.

Hope this chapter turn out OK. Next is the Epilogue and I'll try to have it up soon. In the meantime feel free to send feedback.
