Transaction will give you an output of unique values for each field -- are you sure you're only seeing start and end events?

Try this as a test:

<base_search>
| rex "\:\s(?<event_type>END|START)\s"
| eval events="[".event_time."] : "._raw
| transaction startswith=(event_type="START") endswith=(event_type="END")
| table events

Is there any identifier that can tie the 3 middle events together with the start or end event or are you looking for all events between start and end?
