Chapter One Hundred Two: A Lesson In History
There was a beat of stunned silence as the three mechs just stared at the grinning Autobot completely flabbergasted. “What do you mean it’s over?” Groundhog finally managed to find his voice.
“Starscream sure doesn’t think it is,” Rollerforce announced in the exact same moment. The two glared at one another.
“Starscream's an idiot,” Red chuckled as he watched the two snarl at one another. “And since the All Sparks is gone, what’s there to fight over?” he shrugged again as their attention focused back on him and they both stared at him disbelievingly. “Really,” he insisted. “We don’t really care what you Decepticons do anymore, within reason, mind you. Just don’t go around killing the humans or blowing up their cities and we’ll get along great.”
The three ‘Cons just stared at him in stunned disbelief. “WHAT?”
Red chuckled again. “It’s a long story, but if you’re willing to accept a truce with us, then we have no problems with you.”
“A truce?” Motorhead asked, astounded by what he was hearing.
Rollerforce himself looked dubious. “What if we don’t sign this truce?” he asked suspiciously.
Red Alert sighed. “Then I’m afraid I’m going to have to shoot you.” Rollerforce just continued to stare at the clearly insane mech, unsure whether he was kidding or completely serious.
“Are we prisoners then?” Groundhog got right to the point as he stared at the Autobot. “Or are you willing to let us go?”
“Go?” Red stared at the ‘Con curiously before he turned to look around at the barren desert surrounding them. He looked back at the 'Con. “Go where?”
‘Most irritating mech I’ve ever met,’ Rollerforce thought with a frown as he glanced at his companions. Groundhog didn’t look much better. It looked like he wanted to throttle the mech.
“We’re currently looking for our commander,” Motorhead offered as he shifted the crocodile from one hand to the other. “We were separated during the war.”
“Well you’re more than welcome to wait for him here,” Red jerked a thumb at the buildings behind him. “Like I said, this is the Consulate. If any of the humans ever find a Cybertronion, Keller will just ship ‘em out here.”
Motorhead glanced over at Groundhog. “What’s a ‘Keller’?” he whispered. Groundhog shrugged.
“A Cybertronion Consulate?” Rollerforce snorted as he looked over the base. “Never heard of it.”
Red Alert shrugged. “Not surprising. It’s a work in progress you know.”
“Really?” Rollerforce glanced down at the moat.
Red just smirked at them for a moment longer. “Who is your commander anyway?” he inquired curiously but the ‘Cons just shook their heads.
“I doubt you know him,” Rollerforce told him with a small frown. “We rarely saw any real battle.”
“And we should probably head back out and look for him,” Groundhog announced with a tired sigh. “He’d do the same for us.”
“But we don’t know where he is!” Motorhead whined petulantly. He turned back to Red. “Can I put this down now?” Red just nodded as he leaned down to allow Judy and Mikaela to climb aboard, Carol having long since disappeared into the mess hall since she didn’t care one whit about the Cybertronions or their issues.
“He’s probably near Bakersfield by now,” Judy announced as she stepped up.
All the mechs turned and stared at the older female in shock as she settled herself in Red’s hand. Even Mikaela gave the woman a sideway’s look. “What?” Red asked curiously. “Who’s in Bakersfield?”
Judy waved a hand at the three ‘Cons. “Their boss, who do you think I was talking about?”
“You know where the boss is?” Motorhead shouted in shock as he let the crocodile go. It slithered into the muddy water quite happily.
Judy just nodded. “Sure I do,” she smiled brightly at the three ‘Cons who just stared back at her in shock.
“And how would you know that?” Red Alert asked slowly, his head tilted to the side as he stared at the small human.
“Simple, if these mechs really are the Race Track Patrol,” Judy trailed off with a shrug.
“What?” The three ‘Cons yelped.
“How do you know who we are?” Rollerforce demanded, stunned.
The woman just gave him a wide smile. “You called one another by name and really, how many other mechs are named Rollerforce, Groundhog and Motorhead?” Judy asked innocently. The mechs just stared at her as she brushed some dust off her shoulder before she turned back to them and held out her hands. “I just assumed that you must be them.”
“You know us?” Groundhog asked, completely taken aback. “How?”
“Perhaps our reputation precedes us?” Motorhead said hopefully.
“Keep dreaming,” Rollerforce snarled. “Megatron had us so far out in the boonies it’s amazing we saw any action at all!”
“I’m just saying,” Motorhead stated with a frown..
“Will you two knock it off?” Groundhog suddenly snapped and the other two instantly fell quiet. “Now,” he spoke into the silence that followed and turned back to Judy. “Could you please explain to us how it is you know who we are?” The other ‘Cons stared at Judy intently, waiting for her answer.
“Yes, even I must say I am quite curious,” Red added with a slight frown.
Judy shrugged. “Simple. I know their commander,” she replied.
“You do?” Red gasped in surprise.
“You do?” the three ‘Cons all shouted completely stunned.
“Really?” Mikaela asked speaking for the first time since this whole bizarre situation began.
“I should hope so,” Judy said with a small chuckle. “He lived in my garage after all.”
“What?” Mikaela yelped and Red Alert turned to stare at the three ‘Cons before him.
“Oh I should have known,” the Autobot sighed.
“They are? Really?” Mikaela was asking Judy in shock as she too looked over at the ‘Cons.
“Yup,” Judy grinned and gestured towards the three rather stunned mechs. “Guys. Meet the Race Track Patrol. Barricade’s personal squad.”
“I really should have known. They act just like him.” Red just sighed as the three ‘Cons just stared at them.
“You know the boss?” Motorhead was the first one to finally manage to speak, excitement beginning to show as the shock wore off. “Really? And you said he’s in Bakersfield?”
“Weren’t we already in Bakersfield?” Rollerforce muttered as he glanced over at Groundhog who was nodding.
“We didn’t find him,” Groundhog said to the small human.
“They only left just this morning,” Judy shrugged.
“Left?” Groundhog looked at the small female.
“Mmm,” she nodded.
“Your best bet would be to wait for him here instead of going after them,” Red Alert spoke. “After all, they have to come back sometime.”
“They?” Motorhead asked startled.
“And why would Barricade come back?” Rollerforce demanded. “This is where the Autobots are.”
“Because he just happens to live here,” Red Alert chuckled. “It was Barricade who came up with the whole truce thing. If he didn’t, I wouldn’t have thought twice about shooting you when you were hiding behind those boulders in the long gun range.”
“You know we were there?” Groundhog yelped flabbergasted.
“Long gun range?” Motorhead said surprised as he looked back at the area they had been hiding in with a fighter’s point of view. “Actually it's not a bad set up.”
“Barricade lives here?” Rollerforce bellowed, completely ignoring his teammates. “What do you mean he lives here?”
“Just what I said,” Red Alert said with a frown. “He needed our assistance after Starscream nearly killed him.”
“Starscream nearly killed him?” Motorhead yelped.
“I knew he was lying,” Rollerforce snarled. “He knew that Barricade was alive and he lied to our faces.”
“It’s Starscream, of course he lied,” Groundhog said in exasperation.
“Actually, Starscream may not think that he was lying,” Judy spoke with a frown and the three mechs turned back to stare at her again.
“What do you mean?” Groundhog asked puzzled.
“Just that Starscream may still think that he managed to kill ‘Cade,” Red clarified with a shake of his head. “He was near death when he came to us for help. Or rather, went to Sam for help.”
The three ‘Cons were silent as they thought over the information they were being given. “So where’s Barricade now?” Groundhog inquired slowly.
“About time you asked,” Red said with a small laugh. “He went with Optimus and the others up north for a retrieval mission. They’re getting Energon for us.”
“ENERGON!” The three mechs shouted.
Red Alert nodded and stepped back over the moat. “Why don’t we go into the main hanger and we’ll tell you everything we know.” The three ‘Cons looked at one another again apprehensively. “You can leave at any time. I won’t stop you.”
Rollerforce looked over at Groundhog, waiting to see what their currently leader would do. It was completely possible that they were being lied to again. Of course Autobots, being the supposed good guys that they were, rarely if ever lied. Then again, this was the only lead that they had.
Groundhog sighed, defeated. “So which building is the main one? They all look the same.” Motorhead was smiling brightly as Rollerforce crossed his arms and huffed.
“This way,” Red Alert grinned and began walking towards one of the larger of the buildings. The three ‘Cons hesitated before Motorhead finally shrugged and quickly hopped the muddy water, hurrying to catch up with the ‘Bot.
“We’re all going to die,” Groundhog sighed as he too took a small leap over the moat.
“And I’ll get to say I told you so,” Rollerforce chuckled as he stepped over and followed his teammate into the hanger.
They found Motorhead seated on a strange box and the Autobot was handing him a drum of oil. “Sorry about the accommodations,” Red Alert stated apologetically as he snagged two more cans. “We don’t have much in the way of furniture yet.”
“Oh, we don’t mind,” Groundhog muttered as he took the offered can. The humans he saw were seated on yet another large box though they had their own normal size chairs to sit in.
“Speak for yourself,” Rollerforce muttered under his breath. Groundhog calmly threw his heel back and jerked it sharply against the other mechs ankle. “Ow!”
Motorhead chuckled as Red turned to look at the other mech who was standing on one foot. “Are you all right?”
“Just give me the can and let’s get this over with,” Rollerforce snapped as he took the offered can, studiously ignoring the Autobots infuriating smirk.
“Right then, I think the best place to start is with what you already know,” Red announced snagging his own can and setting himself down on the box in front of the master computer.
Groundhog blinked at the massive thing that he honestly hadn’t even notice. Surprising considering that the thing took up the whole wall. “Er, Starscream didn’t tell us much,” he began slowly.
“We kind of left as soon as we learned that Barricade wasn’t with them,” Motorhead admitted a bit sheepishly.
“Wouldn’t blame you,” Red said with a nod. “Is Starscream always so… full of himself?”
“You have no idea,” Rollerforce growled. Groundhog shot him a look but Rollerforce ignored him as he sipped his oil.
“Once we learned that Barricade wasn’t with them we pretty much left,” Groundhog told them with a small shrug. “He was still nattering on about finding you guys but we left in a hurry before he got too into it. That’s pretty much all we know.”
Red Alert just looked at them completely stunned. “So you don’t even know that Megatron’s dead?” he asked in shocked disbelief.
“WHAT?” Red Alert frowned as oil sloshed from the cans as the three ‘Cons sat bolt upright.
“He’s dead?” Groundhog demanded.
“That’s impossible!” Rollerforce added his own opinion. “Megatron is the most adept mech in the universe; he can’t have allowed himself to be killed off so easily.”
“Yet he is,” Red said with a shrug. He never once noticed Mikaela on the opposite boxcar cringing as she shared a worried look with Judy. Judy just brought a finger to her lips and the girls turned back to the conversation.
“How?” Groundhog asked with a dark frown. “How was it he was killed?”
Red Alert frowned as he leaned back in his chair. “I wasn’t planet side at the time, mind you, but from what the First Arrivals told me, one of their human friends managed it. Sam Witwicky.”
“You mentioned this Sam before,” Rollerforce suddenly sounded suspicious. “Something about Barricade going to him for help.”
Red Alert nodded slowly. “Yes, I did. Sam managed to befriend the First Team and during the last skirmish he killed off Megatron. He has since become our human representative to his planet, though we are still keeping a low profile.”
The three ‘Cons all just stared at the mech. “You’re kidding,” Rollerforce finally gaped.
Red sighed as he looked down at his oilcan, sloshing the remaining liquid around. “However I wish he had found another way of doing so. He actually killed him by shoving the Cube into Megatron’s spark chamber.”
A can fell to the ground and Red watched the few drops on the floor turn into a rather large puddle. “You’re kidding,” Rollerforce said again.
“If Megatron wanted it that badly, he shouldn’t complain,” Red chuckled as he stood to fetch Motorhead another can of oil. “I believe it’s a case where he should have been careful what he asked for. Is that correct statement Judy?” All the mechs turned to Judy and she nodded.
The ‘Cons turned back to Red. “What about the other Decepticons with him?” Groundhog demanded. “Starscream led a team after Megatron. A team he insisted Barricade be on,” he said with a frown.
“I know nothing about that, just that at the time of the last battle it was only the First Team against the team that Starscream put together plus Megatron and Barricade and Starscream were the only Decepticons to have survived,” Red told them softly, knowing that it was a hard thing to hear.
The ‘Cons fell silent and Red Alert gave them a few moments to process. “Then… how did Barricade end up with you guys?” Motorhead finally asked hesitantly.
“Simple,” Judy was surprisingly who spoke up. “Would you stay with Starscream?” The three shook their heads and she chuckled. “I didn’t think so. Apparently when ‘Cade voiced his displeasure at Starscream’s determination at continuing to fight the Autobots, Starscream decided it would be more proficient if he were no longer around.”
“And nearly killed him,” Mikaela added with a nod. “Took me hours to get him out of Stasis Lock.”
“YOU!” Rollerforce stared down at the girl. “You got him out of Stasis Lock?”
Groundhog elbowed Rollerforce in the side and turned to the small human woman. “Then we are in your debt,” he said with a small smile. “And I am sorry if he wasn’t the best of patients.”
Mikaela shrugged and Red chuckled. “In that case you’d best save you’re apologies for when Ratchet comes back. He had to straighten him out.”
“I’m sure Medical Officer Ratchet is more than capable of handling one surly mech,” Groundhog chuckled.
Red laughed. “If he can handle the twins and a pregnant Jazz then he’d better be!”
Judy and Mikaela quickly looked over at the three ‘Cons to see their reactions but as they had never heard the word “pregnant” before nor did they know its meaning, the three did nothing. Judy just chuckled and sat back. They would learn about it in time, she just hoped she’d be present to see their reactions. Mikaela sighed rather disappointed.
“So Barricade needed medical attention and he came to you for help,” Groundhog nodded. “Now… where does this Energon come in? I haven’t seen anything on the scanners. Is it on nearby planet?”
Both Motorhead and Rollerforce leaned forward to hear Red Alert’s answer. “Actually it’s on this one,” Red told them with a grin. “Buried under the ice up north; why no one could pick it up on the scanners until now.”
“And that’s where Barricade is going now?” Motorhead asked for clarification.
“With the First Team plus a few others,” Red nodded.
“Do you know how long they’ll be gone?” Groundhog asked.
“Still a few weeks yet,” Judy told them.
“Slag,” Rollerforce growled as he turned to Groundhog. “What do we do until then?”
“Build,” Red answered.
The ‘Cons looked at each other in confusion. “Build what?”
Red looked thoughtful for a minute. “Well… there is the fortified defense building that we need to construct.”
“The what?” Rollerforce turned to the Autobot with a scowl. “What the slag are you talking about?”
“Do you honestly think these buildings could withstand a full on assault?” Red asked as he gestured at the rather flimsy looking structure around them. “Not only do we have to be able to fend off Starscream but now those pesky Sector Thirteen guys as well.”
“Sector Thirteen?” Motorhead frowned. “What Sector Thirteen?”
“Never mind that,” Rollerforce bit out before he turned back to Red. “Just what makes you think we’re going to help you fortify your base?”
Red just gave him an amused look as he sipped his oil before calmly answering, “Because it’s the only thing we have to fight off Starscream and the humans who do have weapons that can harm us.”
“WHAT?” they screeched again. “The humans can’t harm us. They’re technology isn’t superior enough!”
Judy and Red just looked at each other but it was Mikaela who contradicted the large ‘Con. “Actually they can, and have done so already. They managed to put one of the Autobots into immediate Stasis Lock with just a single shot.”
The three ‘Con’s looked stricken at the news as Red nodded sadly. “There are some humans on this planet who want us dead and are hunting for us as we speak,” he said with a frown. “Now you can go on your merry way and run the risk of possibly encountering these humans or you can stay here and help us fight them and Starscream.” Red shrugged as he popped open another can of oil. “Like I said, it’s entirely your choice.”
The three ‘Cons looked stunned as Red sipped his second can calmly. “Besides, you know Starscream isn’t going to let this go. Wouldn’t you like to say you helped take him down?”
“If it means becoming Autobots, then no,” Rollerforce frowned.
“He is right though 'Force,” Groundhog admitted with a sigh.
“What?” Rollerforce whirled around to stare at his teammate. “You can’t be serious!”
Groundhog just shrugged. “’Till the boss gets here and gives us our orders, what else is there to do?”
“Yeah but-”
There was a sudden beeping sound from the computer behind Red and everyone turned curious as Red hit the button. “Hello, you’ve reached the help desk, how may I assist you?” Red snickered.
There was silence from the computer for a moment. “-Did you get a wrong number?-” someone finally asked.
“-Negative. Only one number is needed,-” a rather monotone voice answered the first.
The three ‘Cons just stared. “That’s Soundwave!” Rollerforce yelped in stunned disbelief.
“And Rumble!” Motorhead said cheerfully.
“Oh, did I forget to mention? They live here too,” Red chuckled and ignored the three ‘Cons just staring at him as he hit the button again. “Red Alert here, go ahead Soundwave.”
“-Optimus asked that I inform you that the… Lambo’s,-” Soundwave said this word with a bit of uncertainty, “-are with us.-”
Red just chuckled. “Roger that Soundwave, I’ll call the others back from their search. Base out.” He turned to the three with an amused grin.
“Soundwave is with the Autobots?” Rollerforce said in stunned disbelief.
“You’re kidding,” Groundhog muttered.
“We rescued him from those humans we told you about,” Red nodded, his smirk turning into a wide grin as he watched the various emotions flitter across the three ‘Cons faces. “He thought it best to stay with us for a while.” He glanced at Rollerforce. “So what’ll it be? You staying or not?”
The three ‘Cons looked at one another before Groundhog cleared his throat and turned to Red. “So what was it you need our help with?”
“I am exhausted,” Bluestreak moaned as the small group trooped back towards the base. “My feet hurt, my ankles hurt, my knees hurt-”
“Oh stop your whining,” Inferno snarled. “We’re almost home anyway.”
“Thank Primus,” Bluestreak sighed in relief.
“I tell you this though,” Hound spoke up. “When we next see the Lambo’s, sparkling or no, I’m going to hurt them.”
Fig chuckled from where he was seated in Blaster’s hand. He looked up at the communication’s officer. “You sure are a violent lot,” he snickered.
Blaster looked down at the small human in surprise before he gave a small smile. “Only when the twins are concerned.”
“They’re dead!” Inferno suddenly shouted. “Making us look all over the slagging desert and where are they? Out with Optimus and the others headed to who know where to get Energon! While we’re stuck here watching the base!”
Hound shrugged. “It pays to be the First Team. They get all the fun.”
Bluestreak moaned. “Why do they get to do all the exciting things like rescue operations and retrieval missions while we get stuck on surveillance? It’s not fair!”
“Life ain’t fair kid,” Hound chuckled. Bluestreak seemed to slouch at this as they finally reached the moat and hopped over it.
“Wait, wait, wait!” Red Alert’s voice suddenly shouted from the far side of the compound. “It was better the other way.”
The four Autobots glanced at one another confused. “Is he talking to the ladies?” Hound asked puzzled.
Inferno shrugged as he started towards the direction where Red’s voice was still coming from. “Actually, you know what? Move that piece over here and we’ll swap it out with this one.”
“For Primus’ sake, will you make up your mind!”
The four froze in shock. “That wasn’t the girls,” Bluestreak muttered.
Inferno was already running and the other three scrambled to catch up. They whirled around the corner only to suddenly jerk to a halt as they found Red Alert ordering around three mechs they had never seen before who were all struggling with a rather large I-beam. Inferno gasped as he spotted the familiar logo on one of the shoulder plantings. “I don’t believe it!” he bellowed, gaining Red’s, and what he now knew to be Decepticon's, attention.
Red Alert glanced at the three ‘Cons before he took a quick step forward, grinning madly. “They followed me home, can I keep them?”
