Knockout was startled out of sleep by a screaming Elyon. "Elyon! Elyon what's wrong?!" He said, sitting up and looking around for someone that could be hurting her. When he found no one he looked at her confused. "Elyon what wrong?"

Elyon moaned, stuck in a deep sleep. Sweat dripped down her face, her heart beat irregular. Slowly, her telekinesis began to squeeze and crush everything around her, including Knockout! Knockout gasped out in pain. He felt lightheaded; he couldn't move or do anything. "Elyon- Elyon what are you doing?!" he yelled through the pain, trying to wake her. "Elyon please!"

"Elyon... born of my blood, flesh of my soul. You are destined to be my freedom, you and the Second Coming. You are to be my return."

She screamed, sitting up and gasping for breath. Knockout fought to remain conscious as she released her grip on him. is vision swam but he fought the urge to just lean back and close his eyes. "W-why did you..." he didn't find the strength to finish his sentence.

She covered her mouth. "Knockout! W-what've I done?!"

He could tell he was losing his battle. "I- you need to call Breakdown, u-use the radio." he said, his voice hardly a whisper. "Tell him to hurry."

Elyon crawled upwards to the radio, picking it up. -B-Breaks? Breaks come in! Please!-

-Hey Elyon, what's wrong, where's Knockout?-

-He's... my powers! Something went wrong! G-get over here and hurry!-

-Wait Elyon! What are you talking about? Wait, did you-...- Breakdown was already running down the halls of the Nemesis. "Where is he, is he awake?!"

She looked back. -B-barely...- She held her head, squeezing her eyes shut.

-You need to try and keep him awake, I'm not even sure if I know how to work on a human form and he's too weak to go back to his regular form.- He got to the command center. "Soundwave! Bridge me to these coordinates now!" he said, giving him the coordinates. He immediately found a ground bridge in front of him. -Just try to keep him alive Elyon.- He said, transforming and diving through the bridge.

Elyon bit her lip. "Easy for you to say... you're not the one who caused your mom to commit suicide." She softly said, moving back to Knockout and held him close. "Knockout, listen to my voice okay? J-just... just stay with me!"

Knockout could faintly hear her. "Elyon I-I... I don't know if I'm... g-going to..." he didn't bother to finish the sentence. "Breakdown... might n-not know how... hurts... so sorry." he said, trying to think straight through the searing pain. He was sure he was going to lose this battle. "I-I love y-you."

"No, you are NOT dying!" Tears began to drip down her face. "Stay with me! I am NOT losing you, you got me?!"

He smiled lightly. "I'm... sorry. I... l-uh-ove you... so much... Elyon."

Breakdown pulled up and transformed. "Elyon!" he said, tapping on the car door. "You need to get him out, now!"

Knockout looked at her. "There's... blanket under the seat... cover yourself." He stared at her eyes, his own closing. "Tell Breakdown... sorry."

"KNOCKOUT! DON'T LEAVE ME!" She shrieked, and a purple pulse of energy erupted from inside of her, surging through Knockout, bringing him back. Her eyes widened, but she quickly grabbed the blanket and wrapped herself with it, and managed to rip off some and cover him a bit.

Knockout opened his eyes, screaming out in pain. "W-WHAT... what did... did you...?" He still felt weak.

Breakdown transformed back into alt-mode. "Get him in here NOW Elyon!"

She dragged him inside, holding the blanket close to her, her eyes open wide.

"How did this even happen?" he asked after calling in for a ground bridge.

"It... it doesn't matter, just get... get us back." Knockout groaned, although he looked at Elyon, his eyes questioning. She had practically killed him and then brought him back like it was nothing!

Elyon gripped her head, closing her eyes. She didn't know what was happening to her.

Breakdown got back on the Nemesis and drove hurriedly to the med bay. "Knockout I'm not sure if I even know what I'm supposed to do." he said, opening the door for them. "Just... hook me up... check vitals." he said, trying and failing to stand on his own.

Elyon managed to slip out and away, getting dressed and sitting underneath Knockout's berth, staring at her hands. "What's happening to me?"

Knockout watched her leave, struggling to get on the medical berth as Breakdown transformed. "What happened to you?" Breakdown demanded, his optics angry as he hooked him up to a few machines. "I-... she woke... started crushing me. Isn't her fault... something scared her."

"She almost killed you!"

"She... s-she also saved me somehow! I-I was gone... I know I was... I was with Primus and... and all of a sudden I was back. But it hurt... it hurt so much when she did... felt cold and hot at the same time... and I knew she was there but I felt so... so alone." Knockout felt tears going down his cheekplates but for once he didn't care. "I think it was... D-dark energon."

Breakdown shook his head. "You're going delusional."

"I am not!"

Breakdown finished hooking him up and looked at the monitors. "Everything seems normal to me."

Knockout shook his head. "I feel different Breakdown!"

Breakdown shook his head, unhooking him. "It must be in your head everything is normal."

Knockout growled. "Fine. Take me back down, I need my bot form."

"What about Elyon?"

Knockout was hurt she had left, without even staying to make sure everything was alright. "She doesn't seem to care right now."

"Are you sure KO?"

Knockout nodded. "I'll talk to her later."

Breakdown took him into his hand and the bridged down. Knockout got to his bot form and his holoform disappeared as he transformed. He picked up Elyon's clothes, which had fallen down.

"You okay KO?"

He nodded. "I guess... I'm just mad she didn't even check to make sure I was okay."

Breakdown shook his head. "You know she cares."

"I know but still... she almost killed me."

Breakdown called in for a ground bridge, putting a hand on his shoulder. "Just talk to her. Something must've happened for her to react so strongly." They walked through the bridge and walked to Knockout's quarters. "You want me to come in?"

Knockout shook his head, "I'll be all right." Breakdown nodded and continued walking as Knockout walked into his room.

Elyon stood up, closing her eyes. What had she seen, in her nightmare? Elyon rested her head against the wall. "What... what am I?" She whispered. She looked up and saw a small blade belonging to a tool. Her eyes narrowed as she pried it off and moved it down to her and gently took it. She took a deep breath and slit her arm, biting her lip and watching her blood spill out. But it was... different. It was now a dark, glowing purple! What did it all mean? 'Born of my blood, flesh of my soul...' She repeated in her mind. 'Born of my blood.' Elyon made another slit, double checking to make sure she was right. Sure enough, what was supposed to be red was actually a glowing, radiating purple.

Knockout walked into the room, catching her cutting herself. "What in Primus' name are you DOING Elyon?!"

"My... My blood! It's... It's..." She stammered. "Not... Human!"

He looked at her confused. "What are you talking about?!"

"W-well..." She removed her hand, showing the glowing purple that oozed from the cuts.

He was about to walk over when he saw the purple. "That's Dark energon." he said, backing up to where he was before. "How do you have Dark energon in your body?!"

"I-I don't know!" Elyon was frightened, and the glowing increased as things crushed around her.

"Elyon calm! Remember you have to keep calm. You can't freak out!"

"Well, excuse ME!" Her brown eyes shimmered. "I'm bleeding stuff I shouldn't be bleeding!"

Knockout was loosing his patience. "Yes well, at least YOU didn't almost get crushed today! Calm down before you kill someone else!"

"I CAN'T!" Elyon screeched, light bulbs exploding and even the ship groaned. -Knockout is there something going on?!- Breakdown though their Com. -It's under control!- He looked at Elyon, his optics fierce. "Do you want me dead Elyon, answer me that!"

"NO!" She screeched, her eyes tearing up. She clutched at her head, feeling a dark pulse inside of her surging and breaking through. "I... I CAN'T... I... KNOCKOUT!"

"Stop Elyon! I know you can control this! If you don't stop you'll kill everyone on this ship!"

There was a sudden pulse of an all-too familiar energy inside of her, reaching to Megatron's shard of Dark Energon. Slowly, her head lifted, eyes pure purple. "K-kuh... Ki... Killllll..." She growled, standing up. Things crushed and exploded around her.

Megatron roared in agony as he felt the Dark Energon in his body consume him. He fought for his control, knowing he was to lose the battle. He turned to Soundwave with every ounce of strength left in him. "Dark Energon- something happening." was all he managed to say before his body was no longer in his control.

"Elyon what are you doing stop this?!" Knockout yelled, backing up against the door. "ELYON PLEASE!" A maniacal smile crossed her face, a glowing, purple aura of energy and dark power surrounding her as she stepped towards Knockout, movements in perfect sync with Megatron's towards Soundwave.

Soundwave backed away from his lord and master. This was the only moment in his existence when he was afraid. When he'd have to harm his Lord.

Knockout didn't know what to do. This wasn't Elyon. "Elyon! What are you doing?!" She raised her hand, along with Megatron, flexing their hands as they slowly crushed their victims. Knockout cried out in agony, feeling that same crushing feeling he had felt not even an hour before. "Elyon please stop! Please!" he begged, sobbing in pain.

Static burst through Soundwave's vocalizer as he was crushed. He looked, his optics pleading behind his visor. He felt as though he was going to deactivate at any second and looking into Megatron's optics, he knew that if he didn't do anything, he would be.

Suddenly, Elyon's eyes widened. "N-NO!" She pulled away, gripping at her head.

'You are my daughter! You shall be my vassal! My freedom! You shall not defy me!'

"GET! OUT! OF! MY! HEAD! HRAAAAAAHGH!" She screeched.

Knockout slumped to the ground, pain shooting through his sensors. He looked over as Elyon yelled. "Elyon... Please... you can fight this. You will win." he said, wishing he could help her against this invisible enemy.

Elyon fell to the ground. "K-Knockout... help me..." She whispered before knocking out.

Knockout fought against his aching body and moved to her side. -Breakdown get to my room now!- he said over the link, looking her over the best he knew how. "I'm so sorry Elyon. I will help you, I swear I'll help you."

Elyon, in her unconscious mind saw another figure with long, blond hair in a ponytail, wearing a simple yellow t-shirt, overalls, a headband and glasses. She was screaming, the ground cracking around her. 'Someone else? Someone else like me?' She wondered, then their eyes locked, brown meeting brown. They stared at each other for what seemed like an eternity before Elyon snapped awake.

Breakdown had helped Knockout to the Medbay with Elyon and she now lay on a medical berth. Knockout was watching her intensely when she finally woke. "Elyon! Are you alright?!"

"I... I feel fine..." She told him, rubbing her head. "But I just... I lost control!" Her head swiveled around as the door slid open and Megatron stood, holding a badly hurt Soundwave. "Oh... god... what've I done?!"

Megatron shook his head, placing Soundwave gently on a medical berth. He looked down at him, a hand placed gently at the side of his head. "I am sorry." he radiated through his mind to the telepathic Soundwave.

Soundwave said nothing but nodded his head slightly. Megatron turned to Knockout, seeing him damaged and looked at Elyon. "You caused this." he growled, glaring at her. "He has not come for me, he has left me alone. You brought him back, and so he wants you now."

"W-who is he?!" She stammered. "I don't know what's going on! I just want SOMETHING to make sense for once in my freaking life!" Her eyes glowed, no longer brown, but a luminescent shade of bright purple.

Megatron stared at her eyes. "Dark Energon courses through your veins. You are a human, you should be dead!" He looked at Soundwave and Knockout, realizing the wounds were similar. "You caused me to have a relapse... Why does he want you?" He looked back at her, clearly puzzled. "Did... did he speak to you?"

"If you mean, big, tall and creepy and NOT you, then yes! And I've seen him before..." She closed her eyes. "When I was little, I used to have these nightmares about him, killing everyone and everything, and he'd look at me and say this phrase. 'Born of my blood, flesh of my soul'. It'd leave me shaking and wide awake for hours."

"You ARE is daughter!" Megatron exclaimed.

Knockout looked at him. "My Lord, how is that even possible?!"

"As if I should know! If what she says is true she is the daughter of Unicron."

"A unicorn?! Have you gone officially crackers?" She asked. When everyone stared at her, she sighed. "White horse with a horn on its head, prances around all sparkly?!"

Knockout shook his helm. "Unicron, Elyon."

"Unicron the Destroyer." Breakdown added.

"Dark energon is his blood. I inserted myself with it in hopes it would gain me an army. You are born of it." Megatron also explained.

"Wait..." She looked at him, then at herself. "... Unless he had a holoform-thingy, then how'd I... how can I be...?!"

"It must have had something to do with your Sire." Knockout remarked. "What do you know of him?"

"Next to nothing! Mom never talked much, didn't have any pictures, and apparently he died when I was just a baby. She said he committed suicide or something, but that's really all she ever said."

Everyone was puzzled. "Perhaps Shockwave will be able to explain." Megatron concluded. He opened his mouth to say more when a hand touched at his side. He looked down at Soundwave, realizing he was in obvious pain. "Enough of this. Repair Soundwave, and give him some pain killers whether he likes it or not." He turned his back and began to walk out. "Report to the command center when everyone is functional again."

Elyon ducked her head, trying to contemplate what was happening. How could she be the daughter of a monster that had plagued her dreams since she was little?!

Knockout went to stand but was pushed back down by Breakdown. "You're hardly in working order yourself. I can take care of him."

Knockout growled. "I can do it Breakdown."

"No you won't! Rest and try to help yourself for Primus' sake!"

"Just do as he says Knocks." Elyon kept her eyes closed. 'Who was that girl I saw in my dream? What does she have to do with all of this?!'

Knockout sighed. "Fine." he said grudgingly. Breakdown smirked lightly and went over to begin the repairs. Knockout looked over at Elyon for a few moments then shut his eyes. 'That's twice. By the end of the week I'll be gone.'

"... Knockout, if I ever... do something. If I ever fully kill someone, you guys... or not, I want you to do something." She took a deep breath in. "Do what Carrie's mother did in the movie."

Knockout looked at her, shocked. "I... I will NEVER allow anyone to kill you!"

"What if I kill Breakdown?! Or worse, MEGATRON?!" She snapped. "I'm starting to lose control, Knockout. My 'dad', Unicron is getting into my mind and warping it. Tonight, he was planning on bloodshed everywhere. Both humanity and Cybertronian. I only managed to bar him out for now."

Knockout glared at her. "I don't care what you do! You'll have to tell someone else to kill you after I'm deactivated, because I will protect you as long as I'm alive."

"I don't want to hurt anyone! Don't you understand?! You or anyone else." She argued. "Knocks, please... just... don't let me suffer. By making others death wishes, become a reality..." She closed her eyes again. "Fear those who have the power. Why? Because. They kill."

Knockout shook his head. "I will not kill you." Tears began to pool in his optics. "I will not lose you Elyon."

"And I'm not going to lose you either." She declared. A single, lavender-tinted tear dripped down her cheek.

"Then help me to understand what going on Elyon. We could help you."

"... I don't know what's going on." She admitted softly. "I don't know anymore." She looked tearfully at Knockout.

"I just don't understand… You were doing well with controlling it. If you truly are Unicron's daughter... He could posses you to conquer the universe." Knockout moved so that he was closer to her. "He came to you. You said he said you were born of his blood. What else?"

"... There was someone else." She admitted softly. "Another girl. She had my abilities. I don't know who she is, or where she is, but all I know is that we saw each other. When I was unconscious."

"That must mean that the same thing happened to her just now. Which means she's born of the blood. Have you got any sisters?"

"I'm a single child." She explained. "Mom never dated after dad... 'died' or whatever."

Knockout tilted his head puzzled. "This is just confusing me."

She closed her eyes and drew her legs up to her chest, feeling so alone. He looked at her, feeling sorry for her. He sat back and allowed his holoform to appear. He walked over to her and put a hand on her leg. "We'll get through this Elyon."

She looked up. "You promise?"

He smiled slightly and nodded. "I swear it."

She wrapped her arms around him, eyes squeezing shut as she gripped at him tightly. He kissed the top of her head, squeezing her lightly. "Don't be afraid Elyon. I'll do everything I can to help you."

A few more tears dripped down her face. 'Fear those who have the power...' She thought to herself.

'Fear me.'
