"Africa? How the frag are we in Africa?!" Knockout shouted in the middle of a vast desert with few trees and scrawny tan sand swirled all around, floating with the gentle, hot, breeze but that just made it more annoying!

"Ugh! This vile sand is getting in places it shouldn't be! And my beautiful finish! You totally –Blurr?!" The medic yelped as he was blinded by a wave of sand, turns out Blurr dropped him into a sand dune to run around looking for something.

"What. Are. You. DOING?" Knock Out growled, aggravated by this cruel, unusual punishment inflicted upon him…or dropped.

"Icannotfindhim! I must have dropped him or he fell out…oh, nevermind Bumblebee's right there. Whew…crisis averted." Blurr sighed after a pause then his optics opened wide and he chuckled at the sight of Knock Out.

"And what, may I ask is so funny?" Knockout snarled, he wasn't happy in the slightest.

The bright, sky blue Autobot smiled warmly as he tried to stop his laughter, "You..sorry…you look like, as humans would call it, a snowman! Or a sandbot at best…"

"Tee beep beep!" laughed the tiny sparkling in musical beeps.

Knockout seemed confused until he looked down; he nearly went into stasis shock at the sight of himself.
His finish was utterly ruined, his bottom half was completely covered in sand, while his top was slightly orange from rust and dirt. If only he could cry but fury replaced his sorrow within moments and with a burst of energy he broke the cuffs!

Lunging at Blurr, who was caught off guard because of the previous laugh fest; their armor got stuck and the impact from K.O. literally throwing himself at Blurr in a fit of rage caused them roll to the bottom of the sand dune into a tall tree.

Which just made them even more stuck into an odd position, the medic was upside down on Blurr's backside, his legs over Blurr's shoulder plates but the worst part was that the Autobot was wedged tightly into the tree unable to move his upper half of his body.

"Great. Just perfect. This is all your fault Autobot!" Knockout raged and struggled but in the end it did nothing.

"Are you finished?" Blurr asked calmly, with patience overflowing.

The Decepticon said nothing, but Agent Blurr could practically feel the pout intensify.

"We can get out of this but we have to think logically. Let's see…" Scanning his surroundings and his position an idea popped into his helm. Blurr couldn't move his arms because they were pinned into the tree but…his legs were free.

"Knockout, are you able to swing yourself into a sitting position onto my shoulder plates?" Blurr asked, mentally preparing his legs to do something they haven't done since training at the Autobot Academy.
Huffing with curiosity and impatience, the Doctor thought about it and swung. It hurt a bit because he lost pieces of his wheels but he managed. "So…now what?" Knockout asked, wondering how the rest of him would get unstuck.

"Hang on to my helm tightly."

"What?" Knockout asked, confused on how that would help their tangled situation.

"Get as close to my helm and upper body as possible or you'll get a giant dent!" Agent Blurr said testily as his engine roared, gearing up for speed.

"What exactly do you plan to do-?!" before Knockout could finish his protest, Blurr put all his weight on his pinned arms and chassis, putting his pedes into a harsh reverse, throwing his lower body over his upper and flipping out of the tree with the velocity his legs had gained.

Blurr would have landed nicely but Knockout shifted his weight so his landing was unbalanced. They fell on their backs painfully but they were free at last! Unfortunately, they were injured in the process of getting out.

Now things were bad, two grown Cybertronians and a Sparkling were in a desert, without energon, injured and no possible shelter from the heat that was slowly drying up what fluid they had left…they had two things on their side though.

Knockout was a Doctor and Blurr had his speed…but was it enough to get them all out of there?

20 minutes later…

"…Amazing. How can you be so fast with that kind of wound?! Even though it was your fault we were in that mess anyway and my poor finish…don't even remind me of the tragedy." Knockout muttered as he tended to the Autobot Elite Guard Intelligence Officer's wounds in some jungle nearby.

'Thank Primus that's over!' the medic thought.

"Thank you." Whispered the injured bot, who was dangerously close to emergency stasis because of the lack of energon.

Knockout knew full well he could just offline the Autobot and leave but…no one ever told him thank you or actually used manners…or cared to. Also, he didn't have a clue where he was, nor did he have a communication's point so he needed the Autobot anyway.

"…hmph, you're welcome Autoscum. Now, even if I do fix you up, your energon tank is dangerously low so any idea where to get some energon? This isn't healthy for mini Bee." Knockout said, after piecing together Blurr's backside from leaking.

Noticing the unusual silence coming from the faded blue bot, the medic shook him lightly and smirked when Blurr groaned in pain.

"Please do not do that…the location of drinkable energon is down that path, through the cracked rock and in the stream below. I put a few containers there just in case something like this would happen on my travels."

"Did you plan this unfortunate accident?!" Knockout said shocked and in disbelief.

This made Blurr grin a bit as he replied, "No…I hid containers of drinkable energon everywhere on this planet. Not just over there…it should be enough." With that he fell into emergency stasis, his body limp and vibrating in pain.

Mini Bee didn't know what to think as he saw Blurr's lights dim and Knockout leave. He cried a few tears of fear, only to be glared at by his assigned caretaker.

"Bumblebee, don't cry. You're wasting valuable energon! I'll be back with some, so stay here and watch over Sleeping Speedy over here, okay?"

The small sparkling beeped in understanding, and sat on Blurr's helm where it wasn't damaged.

With that Knockout disappeared down the path on his search for the energon in the stream.
