Transformers Prime: I am Allspark

Soundwave walked out of the building with his newest and most unusual companion attached to him. He noticed Skyquake leaning his back against the wall, still keeping watch, while he noticed that Barricade had his gun drawn, knowing that a medic would arrive to tend to Skyquake's injuries.

Barricade discreetly watched Soundwave, noticing the Minicon attached to his chest, but after noticing this detail, he immediately returned to his surveillance, keeping his optical receptors alert for any suspicious movement.

Skyquake, trying to ignore the pain he felt, heard something approaching their position, thanks to his senses heightened by the constant pain in his body. "Someone is approaching at high speed."

Barricade just nodded and pointed the gun towards a street, already imagining that whoever was coming was someone who used land vehicle mode as a means of transport.

A red car suddenly appeared, speeding at more than enough to provoke a police chase. Upon seeing the Barricade, the bot quickly recognized it and instinctively braked, even more so when it saw the police officer pointing a gun at it as if it were a target on a shooting range.

"What's that brute doing here?" Knock Out complained, about to back away and hope the psychopath cop wouldn't chase him, as he didn't want to scratch his paint. However, he received a message directly to him and finally realized that Soundwave was watching him. "Holy shit! This really isn't a trick." He sped up as fast as he could, eager to get the job done, for if he did everything right, he could benefit greatly from the Decepticon faction.

Barricade mentally debated whether or not to shoot Knock Out, since he was a real troublemaker, one of the few bots that could get away from him because of his excellent driving skills. [That bastard came back to my town? He really wants me to rip his legs off.] He thought, making a superhuman effort to control himself for now, knowing that Knock Out, idiot as he is, is an excellent doctor.

Knock Out quickly switched to his humanoid mode, flashing a self-centered smile as he approached Barricade. "It's been a long time, old man, I hope you changed your tires."

"Soundwave... why of all idiots did it have to be him?" Barricade was about to pull the trigger and kill Knock Out, he really couldn't stand it.

Knock Out approached Soundwave and greeted him warmly, even tilting his head slightly to show a mischievous smile. "I am honored to be assigned to assist the great Decepticons, and unlike the officer here, I promise to be extremely dedicated." He spoke with such obvious sarcasm that Barricade's face visibly twitched, surprising even Skyquake, who thought it was impossible for someone like Barricade to be so angry. It was an indication that the two of them had a less than friendly past.

The sound of heavy footsteps became more distinct, causing Knock Out to change his mocking expression to something more cautious. His eyes were half open as he recognized Megatron's presence as he emerged from the building.

"Megatron..." Knock Out whispered, bowing quickly as one of his knees touched the ground. "It is a great pleasure to meet the savior of Cybertron."

Megatron watched Knock Out closely, noting that he appeared to be a teenager, which made him wonder if he was actually competent enough to treat Skyquake's injuries. "Are you the doctor Soundwave summoned?"

"Y-yes, my name is Knock Out, I'm well versed in medicine, I even have experience in complex surgeries, I've even studied chemistry and Energon compounds." Knock Out explained it like he was doing a job interview.

"Humph... I will only consider your words as fact if you fix Skyquake. If you're useful to me, I'll consider your name next time." Megatron looked at Soundwave, and since they still had a lot of work to do, it was time to return to the capital. "Dreadwing will be in command until you have completed your assigned tasks. Barricade, I need you to make sure our tracks are covered, we cannot give the Autobots a chance to disrupt the plan."

"Consider that task completed." Barricade said, still keeping a watchful eye on Knock Out.

Megatron and Soundwave switched to their airborne modes and took off, leaving Dreadwing, Skyquake, Barricade and the newest member of the Elite Decepticons, Knock Out, alone.

"Looks like we have quite the cast among us." Knock Out couldn't keep his mouth shut. It was in his nature to be so excited, a complete opposite of the personality of the Decepticons around him.

"SHUT UP!" Barricade replied angrily, making no secret of how much he disliked the future greatest Decepticon doctor.
