The Wrong Bot

Awhile later when Starscream hadn't come back Sideswipe went to look for him wondering where the seeker might have gone and what was keeping him.

Still in his seeker disguise Sideswipe went to look for Starscream feeling worried about him. Upon getting to the hallway he was greeted by the Vehicons who told him they found signs of a struggle near the emergency exit and said no one could find Starscream.

And Sideswipe knew right away from the attempts that Starscream had been having on his life that the seeker had been taken against his will and was in danger.

Starscream had let Sideswipe stay in Vos after he was framed and snuck him back to see Knock Out and had helped him a lot in the past few days. Now he had to find the seeker and make sure he was OK.

He went and told the Autobots what happened and that he suspected Starscream had been kidnapped.

They all went to investigate and told Sideswipe who they thought was Silver Snake to go to Vos and inform them to look for Starscream as well.

Sideswipe went outside and activated his com-link and called Rattrap and explained the situation. And Rattrap agreed to let the others in Vos know so they'd all be looking for Starscream. And Sideswipe would continue to look around Iacon.

Later Sideswipe came back to the hospital and saw Strongarm who had brought Bumblebee to the hospital in Iacon because he was now fully recovered for the most part but still didn't remember anything.

And she was trying to jog his memory knowing Sideswipe was depending on Bumblebee to help prove his innocence. Optimus had gotten there and was glad Bumblebee was alright and trying to help restore his memory as well.

Suddenly Ratchet ran over to them looking worried.

"What wrong Ratchet?" Asked Strongarm.

"Knock Out's missing it appears he was taken from his room by someone." Ratchet explained.

"Wait wasn't he that nice bot who came to visit me in the hospital in Kaon?" Asked Bumblebee who still didn't remember anything. "Hope you find him and that he's OK."

"No." Sideswipe thought. First Starscream was kidnapped now Knock Out he had to find out where they had both been taken and save them.

He ran into Windblade in the hallway and told her everything and she agreed to help him. And make sure his cover didn't get blown.

They went to suggest to the other Autobots to look at the feed of the security cameras to see if they caught what happened to either of them. But this would take awhile since there was a lot of footage to go through.

Sideswipe just hoped Starscream and Knock Out could wait that long. Then Sunstreaker joined them who was worried about Knock Out.

Sideswipe was glad his brother didn't recognize him while he was disguised as a seeker. Because he was still feeling hurt that he hadn't believed him and was feeling nervous about interacting with him.

And was glad when Windblade who understood got Sunstreaker to go help Arcee look for clues in the room Knock Out had been taken from. And Sideswipe thanked her with his optics.

Meanwhile Starscream woke up in a cell and realized he was in a wearhouse somewhere. Then he noticed Knock Out laying on a berth on the other side of the room from him.

The red medic slowly regained consciousness that was a relief for Starscream but he could tell the Auston Martin was still in very bad shape.

"Starscream where are we?" Knock Out asked weakly.
