One light after another passed overhead followed by bouts of darkness, he could remember his nursebots voices as Knock Out was brought into his own medical bay. Something about critical..and losing him. Then came the unimaginable pain….
Knock Out drove along the long empty desert road back to Jasper. He had just dropped off a supply of medical equipment at a nearby Autobot outpost and was on his way home. He had to remember to stop off at the market to pick up food for Brad before returning to the medical tower. Now that he lives with the small human he had to make sure there was food in the apartment. Good food, not that animal fat soaked garbage from that rip off of a fast food place. The sky had grown dark and the rain had begun to fall as drops hit his windshield followed by a rumble of thunder and lighting.
“Well isn’t this fantastic. And I just got a wash too….” As he drove along the highway something felt a bit off…Why did he feel like he was being followed? It was then large headlights were seen in his rearview mirror as what looked like a semi was coming up fast behind him.
“Tch…A tailgator? Rude…” Knock Out muttered as his speedometer slowly began to move up. But no matter how fast he went the truck was still right behind his bumper. “C’mon already. I’m not going to get a speeding ticket just because you want to be up my tailpipe. Pass if you want to pass…” Then without warning the semi rammed into his back bumper!
“Ow! HEY!! Watch the paint!..” KO muttered as he began to swerve back and forth but the semi was having none of it! “Back off! I may be a doctor but I'm not above blasting your tires out!” Then just as it arrived the semi suddenly hit the breaks and vanished into the dark of the highway. “..Huh…Well. Okay then…” Suddenly the sound of a truck horn blasted the air as the red sports car was struck from the side! His windows shattered sending glass everywhere as the entire left side was crushed inwards!
“GAH!” Rolling over and over Knock Out found himself upside down and in a ditch. One wheel detached and was now lying next to him. “Unng….” Struggling to transform he stood for a moment before falling against the incline of the ditch. Rain flowed down his face mixing with energon as he glanced upward only to see a huge mech walking toward him. His vision wavered and he could feel himself going into stasis lock but he remained online just long enough to hear that laugh. A deep-throated John Wayne-esque laugh that sounded..familiar.
“…Optimus….Prime?” His optics then rolled back and the next thing he knew he had awoken hours later in his own ICU ward.
