Megatron went to the ground brige and saw Bumblebee and Optimus attacking outside the ship. He immediately jumped to defend his solders and pulled his blade to stab the enemy but Optimus dodge it. Knockout immideatly attached Bumblebee with the saw but Bulkhead jumped him from behind. They were outnumbered, vihecons are just trying to shoot them but without proper command they were useless. Megatron is keeping Optimus busy while Knockout is fighting for his life, he was a medic not fighter. Bulkhead saw an open space and slammed the medic against the ships wall causing him to loosen his strength and breaking his arm. While getting up he saw Arcee running on the ship and he called Megatron who was throwing Optimus on the ground. ,,My Lord... Arcee in the ship" He said. Megatron immediately tryed to go in but Bulkhead and Bee stopped him. He just now hoped that she will not cause too much harm. Arcee was going through the ship until she entered the med bay. It was quiet, Starscream saw her entering but remain motionless. ,, What the scrap is happening here" She said and looked at the monitor displaying their critical state. Starscream was awake so virus is spreading quicker while Soundwave is still. ,, Time to say goodbye Soundwave" Arcee said while pointing her gun to Soundwave's chest. Seeing the his lover was in danger Starscream raised his claws and scratched her on the back causing her to miss. Cut was deep she barely got up but Starscream's state was worse, he felt burning on his arm and realized his paint is falling off alongside his thin metal layer. He transformerd his gun and fired at her just to get her out of the med bay. She started running outside and Starscream followed while hearing loud gunshots outside, he immediately called solder to see what's happening. ,, Autobots attacked and Knockout is wounded we don't know what to do" Said the drone. ,, Knockout" He yelled while transforming and flying in the battle. He sore up to sky and started shooting at the bulkhead who is attacking Megatron from behind. Upon seeing his commander in the sky Megatron was relieved that he's here. ,, Solders, Take care of the scouts I will take the Arce" He yelled while falling down on the ground between wounded medic and angry Arcee. Upon transforming more of his paint fell off and more pain was inflicted but he srugg it of. ,,Why don't you just give up Starscream you are almost dead" Yelled Arcee as she tryed to kick him in the chest but he immediately dogode it. ,,I will die autobot, right after YOU" He yelled while punching her in the stomach with his sharp claws and kicking her in the head. She screamed so loud everyone heard it, Optimus upon seeing what is happening to her run to save her from dealing more damage but Starscream immediately cut her in the face leaving a huge scar over her optic. Optimus called retreat and Bulkhead grabbed her while running away with groundbrige. Decepticons are happy that they left them alone but Starscream immediately collapsed on his knees. ,, Starscream what are you doing here" Knockout asked while holding his arm. ,, You... Are in trouble... I needed to save you you're... Only thing I have" He said while gasping for air. His paint started falling off and his vision got blurry. Megatron immediately took him in his arms and carried him to med bay. In the med bay Knockout hooked him up and told him what happened. Knockout also took a scan and it was worse than he expected, Starscream is loosing his battle against it, rapidly. Megatron is constantly trying to help him by typing on the computer or giving Starscream medicine. ,,My Lord if you could get to work just go you don't need to be here" Starscream mumbled tiered. ,, I'm here because you are my work, I have to bring you back to normal" Megatron answered while taking some saline from the table to clean his wounds but got a bit clumsy and poured it accidentally on Starscream's hands that missed protective layer. ,, AAAAAAHHHHH" He screamed in pain, it was unbearable, burning on his hands is spreading quicker without the protective layer. ,, I'M SORRY I didn't mean to do this" Megatron said while trying his best to help him but Starscream got pissed of. ,, JUST LEAVE ME ALONE" He yelled. ,, I'm trying to help you get better I..." Megatron tried to say but was cut off. ,,Get better, HELP ME GET BETTER, YOU ARE LYING" Starscream said while getting closer to him still groaning in pain ,,My Health was never your concern, NEVER" Megatron tried backing up and saying something but Starscream was raging. ,, YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT ME OR ANYONE HERE" He said while paint is falling off him. ,, I do, I really do please" Megatron begged but it didn't help, it only made it worse. ,,LIES" He screamed while limping closer. Some viecons gatherd when they heard a commotion. ,, YOU ONLY CARE ABOUT YOURSELF" Starscream cried. ,,I... I don't " Megatron said until he was completely against the wall. ,,YES YOU DO" Commander continued while his paint started falling more and more ,, You never cared about me, I was just your punching bag that always gets the punishment and blame without having a single chance to prove it's innocent." Megatron was scared, what will happend now. Starscream looked more threatening with his scars and as soon as he looked at his eyes he saw boiling rage and thirst for violence and revenge ,, You're not that..." . ,,YES I AM, ALL OF US ARE" He screamed while pointing at Knockout,,Ask him, our only medic how many times he had to stitch me up like a puzzle or to heal the wounds so painful and deadly that I'm constantly on the verge of death, ask those poor vihecons that had to clean the messed up room filled with energon and scratched, ask Soundwave how many times he tried to show proof it's not my fault but you kept going ask Megatron, Ask, ASK" Megatron was shaking, everything is true, he never listened to Soundwave and that came back to haunt him. ,,I tried my best but for you it's never enough, never" Starscream said while shaking more ,,I tried but now I understand, you will never be happy with me and good luck that I had this virus because I will die and not be your problem" Megatron felt his sparkbeat stop and tears formed. Vihecons are stunned at what they heard and Knockout was just standing there in pain. As soon as he finished his talk Starscream collapsed in the coma, vihecons picked him up to med bay while others left. Megatron entered his room and cried the whole day while Knockout started reading the article hoping to find a cure.
