Chapter One Hundred Twelve: Down The Rabbit Hole
“I thought you said it wasn’t far!” Motorhead huffed as they were still walking down the darkened ramp some ten minutes later after first entering the underground passage.
“It’s actually not,” Red said with a smile as he shone the small flashlight around. “We’re almost there, aren’t we?” he called out to the two in the lead.
“Just about,” Hound declared over his shoulder. “I think the doors are just ahead.”
“Now you see why we wanted that golf cart,” Maggie said with a small smirk from where she was seated in Motorhead’s palm.
“What do you think we’ll find?” Mikaela asked curiously.
“Nothing good,” Simmons stated from where he was seated uncomfortably in Bluestreak’s hand. “This was not just any research facility.”
“What do you mean?” Red asked surprised as he stepped next to his teammate.
Inferno just looked at the small human critically. “What do you know?”
Simmons frowned. “While those two were busy with all the computers, I decided to check out the main facilities,” he said with a jerk of his thumb towards a rather put out Maggie. “Someone had to check it out.”
“You didn’t even say anything,” Maggie glared at him. “Glen thought you kept leaving to go to the bathroom.”
Simmons shrugged, a rather superior smirk on his face as he turned away from the fuming girl. Red Alert seemed completely oblivious towards the hostility as he turned to Simmons. “Well? What did you find?”
Simmons frowned. “I didn’t go that far into the complex. Just poked around the sleeping quarters to see if anyone left anything behind. I think that they were developing something here too. I found some references to some sort of work being done but nothing specific and I still couldn’t find the lab.”
“Maybe it’s hidden,” Hound said over his shoulder. “That was the problem we had in Utah. Sam and the rangers said that there the main lab was hidden.”
“That’s right!” Bluestreak nodded emphatically. “And when they went into the place that had Soundwave and those others, Barricade’s communicator just went dead because of all the interference from the human’s set up.”
“Really?” Motorhead seemed really interested at this and hung onto every word as Bluestreak began the story of how they had rescued Soundwave and the others from Kanab.
“And we’re here,” Hound announced with a chuckle as the finally reached the two large double doors. Pushing the one open further for them to get past, the interior lights clicked on at the motion as he stepped into the room.
“And not a moment too soon,” Inferno said gratefully as he pushed his way passed the Autobots and into the large room.
“Hey!” Bluestreak frowned at the larger mech as he was forced to take a small leap back in order to ensure he wasn’t run over. His arm was quickly snagged as Motorhead helped him regain his balance while Bluestreak tried not to drop Simmons.
“Let’s try not to kill each other ‘till after we finish exploring,” Red Alert said with a small smirk as he stepped forward and through the opening.
“Whoa,” Motorhead stared around the different items strewn about the main entryway. “This place is wicked!”
“Isn’t it though?” Bluestreak said as Motorhead wandered around to look at all the different equipment scattered about the place and thus releasing Bluestreak's arm.
“This place gives me the creeps,” Rollerforce muttered as he looked about at all the exam tables and cages lining the walls.
“Gave us the creeps too when we first found it,” Red admitted softly. “However it was a bit of a blessing in disguise. It’s how we found out that they were holding Frenzy captive.”
“Mmm,” Groundhog nodded as he looked about the different machinery that had been left behind. “Generators and power cells,” he announced as he picked up one of the smaller pieces. He glanced up at the three Autobots. “Just what were they doing down here?”
“Who knows,” Inferno shrugged as he toed a random piece of equipment. “Nothing makes sense around here.”
“As far as we can tell, Megatron was never brought here for testing,” Maggie said with a frown. “He was taken to Hover Dam almost as soon as it was built and he was there ever since.”
“That we know,” Simmons spoke grimly. “This is Burgen we’re talking about. I've got a bad feeling about this place.”
“What’s in that room?” Motorhead asked as he wandered over to an open doorway on the far side of the room.
“’Bee said that this place is just like the set up they had in Hover Dam,” Red announced with a frown. “We never went further than this.”
“Then, that’s the place to start, isn’t it?” Rollerforce spoke as he stepped past his teammate and into the stale room. A quick glance around and his gaze came to rest on the large rack propped up against the wall. He glanced back at Red Alert skeptically. “You sure these humans are our friends?”
“What?” Mikaela and Maggie screeched, outraged at the Decepticon’s statement.
“Of course we’re your friends! How can you even suggest that we would be so twisted as to think that that,” and Mikaela gestured towards the rack, “is okay?”
Rollerforce just looked back over at the cages before turning back to the rack before finally looking back at Mikaela with a small tilt of his head. “Really?”
“Rollerforce,” Groundhog drawled as he walked by. “Stop provoking a fight and help me with this.”
Rollerforce’s entire stance shifted from defensive to nonchalant in under a third of a second and he turned towards his fellow ‘Con. “Help with what?”
“There’s a door here,” Groundhog announced as he started shoving some of the equipment aside to reveale another set of doors.
“We didn’t see that the last time we were here,” Red Alert said with a frown as he examined the doors.
“We really didn’t stick around that first visit,” Hound shrugged as he wandered over to help the ‘Cons move the rubble.
Red Alert turned and looked pointedly at Inferno with a small frown. Inferno just looked down at him puzzled. “What?”
Red tilted his head. “Aren’t you going to help?”
“What?” Inferno looked stunned that Red would even suggest such an thing as he looked over where the ‘Cons were clearing the debris.
Red Alert just sighed and held up his hand to show Mikaela seated there. “As you can see, we can’t really help,” he frowned.
Inferno glared momentarily but Red’s dark look held out and the larger fire rig sighed. “Yeah, all right,” he muttered as he made his way over to help move some of the larger equipment.
Red just grinned as he turned to Bluestreak. “See? I told you he was easy to deal with.”
Bluestreak just stared at the security chief in shock as Motorhead and the three humans glanced around puzzled. “What’s he talking about?” Motorhead asked curiously.
“Um, nothing,” Bluestreak ducked his head as he turned to watch the others clear a path.
Mikaela snickered as she watched the clearly embarrassed Autobot. She could bet that if he had the ability, Bluestreak would be blushing like mad. She glanced over at Maggie and was surprised to find the other woman seemed just as confused as Simmons was over the strange conversation. Mikaela made a small mental note to get her out of the computer lab more often as Hound announced that they got the doors open.
“Great,” Red grinned as he wandered over. “Why aren’t there any lights in here?” he asked puzzled.
“Everywhere we’ve been so far had motion detectors that switched on the lights whenever we entered a room,” Maggie announced with a frown. “I don’t know why these would be out.”
Groundhog picked up the large flashlight that Hound had left on the ground and switched it on, pointing it upward. “Nothing looks damaged,” he said as he waved the light over the fixtures. He then moved the light away from the ceiling and into the darkness beyond and everyone gathered near the doorway, curious to see what was beyond it. They all stared at the darken hallway that seemed to be leading… down.
“Aw man, I don’t want to walk anymore,” Motorhead groaned as he looked down the second small ramp.
“We’d have to walk to get out of here you know,” Red chuckled as he picked up his own light and added it to Groundhog’s, brightening up the hallway a bit more.
“The bottoms right there, stop your complaining,” Groundhog chuckled.
Rollerforce wasn’t as nice as his superior officer however as he whapped Motorhead upside the head. “Quit whining and take this,” he snapped as he held out a long cable.
The Autobots looked up in surprise as they found that apparently Rollerforce had tied one end to the support bracers of the large rack and was systematically unwinding the cord. Groundhog smirked at the stunned looks. “Sometimes the best methods are the ones that had been tried and true,” he laughed as he held up the other end of the cable. “So we don’t get lost.”
Red and Hound seemed to be impressed but Inferno just glared. “We have our own navigation systems,” he snarled.
“True, but you’re the ones who just finished telling us that some of our equipment failed when you guys invaded their base in, Utah was it?” Groundhog glanced over at Bluestreak who was nodding. “So hence, the cable.”
Hound seemed to see the logic in the idea as he took the offered cable. “What can it hurt?” the scout asked as he turned to his teammates. “It’s only a cable and it’s a good secondary plan. It’s not like we’re going to tie ourselves together or anything.”
Inferno still didn’t look convinced but reluctantly nodded. “Whatever,” he finally grumbled as he turned towards the new hallway. “Let’s just look around and then get the matrix out of here as soon as possible.”
“For once Autobot, we agree,” Rollerforce huffed as he hiked Ironhide’s spare cannon up and started for the entrance. Inferno frowned but quickly stepped forward and followed the ‘Con, switching on his own lights to illuminate their path.
The group with lights and cable in hand began their decent down the second ramp and found themselves facing a hallway of even more doors, some open revealing empty adjoining rooms and some sealed tightly shut. Red Alert frowned at the idea of opening the closed doors and the group pressed onward. It was a few moments later when they were forced to stop out of necessity rather than choice.
“Wow,” Bluestreak let out a low whistle as the group found their path blocked by ruble and debris.
“Hmmm,” Red stepped forward as he shown his light around the current roadblock. It seemed as if part of the ceiling had collapsed and one of the walls had crumbled under the pressure.
“I think we found out why the lights didn’t work,” Groundhog frowned as he looked at the exposed wires hanging downward.
Red stepped forward and stood up on his toes as he noticed the beam of light from his flashlight disappeared between some of the cinderblocks. “I think it’s still clear on the other side,” he announced as he held out Mikaela for Groundhog to take.
“Red, I think that’s enough for today,” Inferno said slowly as he stepped closer to his husband and looked the rubble over. “I don’t think we can get past this.”
“Wait, I think… I think there’s a door over hear. We can slip in between it and the rocks and get around,” Red announced.
Rollerforce stepped forwards to see what it was that Red was talking about. Apparently when the ceiling had collapsed, it had busted open one of the doors and most of the rubble has spilled into the other room, leaving a large enough gap between the different pipes, broken tiles and the ceiling for them to slip by. He snagged Red’s light and lifted it higher, peering into the darkness. “He’s right,” he declared. “It looks like the hallway’s clear on the other side.” He turned to glance over at Groundhog. “What’d you think?”
Groundhog frowned as he looked over the collapsed portion of the hallway. “While it looks like this happened a while ago, we don’t know the condition of the rest of the facilities.”
“On the other hand, we might find out something about Thirteen that we can use against them,” Red said over his shoulder, snagging the cable and already stepping up onto the pile. The other mechs stared at the Autobot Security Chief as he began crawling over the rubble towards the opening.
Inferno looked up stunned as he saw his mate climbing up on the wreckage. “Um… Red, perhaps the ‘Con is right…” he began slowly.
“Now you agree with them?” Red asked with a small laugh, already halfway up and in the hole. “It’s not so bad on this side!” he called out.”
“Oh Primus,” Inferno groaned.
“I think we want Primus on our side at this point,” Hound chuckled.
“Why? From what Jazz tells us, he’s nuts,” Inferno muttered.
The three ‘Cons glanced at one another confused. “What about Primus?” Motorhead asked innocently as he glanced over at Bluestreak.
“Oh… well-”
“Are you guys coming or what?” Red Alert called out as he disappeared over the small edge and presumably down the other side. A hand appeared in the hole. “Pass over the humans.”
The mechs glanced at one another before the looked down at the humans. Mikaela was the one who shrugged. “I’m game,” she announced as she rolled up her sleeves. “Let’s check it out! We’ve only just begun to check this place out, we can’t stop now.”
“That’s the spirit!” Red called out.
Groundhog shook his head as he stepped up a ways on the broken cinder blocks and held out Mikaela for Red to take before slipping through. Bluestreak was the next to tackle the small incline and squeeze himself through the hole after handing Simmons off to Rollerforce. Soon enough after some shuffling and some choice mutterings by Inferno, everyone found themselves on the other side of the small congestion.
“This is getting more exciting by the moment,” Maggie grinned as she looked about the now clear hallway ahead.
“Just keep up the optimism,” Mikaela chuckled. “Something’s bound to happen sooner or later.”
“And it just did,” Hound announced as he came upon a rather large opening. “Guys… I think we found that main lab.”
“About time,” Inferno huffed as he held up his light and shown it into the large room.
The room itself was even larger than the main foyer and twice as large. About a hundred feet in diameter and at least ten stories high, amazingly the room was crammed with different items. Mechanical equipment, large computers, and of course the cages. There were at least twenty of them of all shapes and sizes and they lined the back wall.
The mechs, as well as the humans, just stared at them all. “Just what was Dr. Burgen afraid of?” Hound shook his head as he waved his light over everything.
“Invasion.”
Everyone turned surprised to stare at Simmons who was looking about the room, his lips pressed into a thin line as he took in everything. The Autobots glanced at one another puzzled but it was the three ‘Cons and the two ladies who wore looks of understanding. “He was preparing for the worse, wasn’t he?” Groundhog asked softly.
“What?” Inferno turned to look at the Decepticon in surprise. “The worse of what?”
“Us,” Rollerforce snarled. “He was preparing for us.”
“Rather a war with us,” Motorhead announced from where he was opening a rather large crate. “Look at this.”
Everyone was soon crowded around him and the box and stared down at what looked to be a rather large gun. Rollerforce whistled. “You sure these humans are friendly?” he asked Red again.
“Like every species, there’s always the few bad apples,” Red frowned.
“What’s an apple?” Motorhead ruined the rather dour mood by asking.
“A fruit,” Mikaela answered him. “They go bad rather fast and sometimes you would find worms in them.”
“Oh…” Motorhead blinked curiously. He turned to Bluestreak. “What’s a worm?” Bluestreak just shrugged.
“Hey Motorhead, put me down a sec, will ya?” Maggie suddenly called out. “I see some more computers.”
“Oh here we go,” Simmons frowned. “Now we’ll never get her out of here.”
“I’m only going to give them a basic once over,” Maggie frowned at the man as Motorhead set her down. “I’ll only be a moment.”
“How? There’s no power,” Mikaela frowned as she waved her own small light for emphasis.
“But there are papers and possibly data discs we can take,” Maggie called out over her shoulder as she made her way to the desks.
“We may as well look around while she’s working,” Red announced as he placed Mikaela also on the floor.
The three groups began wandering around, looking in different boxes that had been left behind while Groundhog began going over some of the larger equipment. He frowned as he looked over one of the bulkier ones. “He was defiantly experimenting,” he announced to the room at large as he examined the computer’s structure. “See this here,” he said to the few mechs and Simmons who gathered around him as he pointed at a rather long tube. “IV units. He was combining your Earth’s chemicals with our own internal fluids,” he said to Simmons.
Simmons just stared at the large machine sadly before he looked up at the mechs with a rather apologetic look. “I may not have trusted you guys when you first arrived but I never wanted anything like this to happen.”
“We know,” Red told him gently.
“You think this is what they did to Frenzy?” Bluestreak asked as he took another step back away from the machine.
“It’s possible,” Groundhog frowned. “Unless he had already gained what he needed to know from this machine and moved on to other… methods.”
Even Inferno seemed disturbed by this announcement as he snagged Red’s arm and brought him back over to where Motorhead and Hound were still opening boxes. “What’s over here?” he asked gruffly.
“Well, there aren’t any more weapons,” Hound said with a sigh. “However we’re finding more equipment that looks like it hasn’t been used in months.”
“Hmmm,” Red glanced into one of the boxes and pulled out what looked to be an electro magnet. “I don’t think there’s anything here that can help us fight Sector Thirteen.”
“That we’ve found,” Maggie said from where she shuffling through the paperwork. “I think I found some blueprints for this place and it looks like it’s huge! There are at least four more rooms like this one.”
“We better settle in for a long day of exploring,” Red Alert chuckled as he sat down on one of the large crates.
“This is going to be a long day, isn’t it?” Bluestreak sighed as he leaned up against one of the rare clear spaces against the wall.
“Why is it we’re always sitting on boxes?” Hound asked as he sat down on one of the other crates.
“You better make sure there’s nothing explosive in those boxes that could detonate if they collapse under your weight,” Rollerforce chuckled. He watched amused as the two Autobots popped up off of their seats so fast they were almost a blur. Red just glared at the rather guiltless Decepticon who grinned at him blithely.
“Rollerforce, leave them alone,” Groundhog called out, not even looking at the mech in question.
“I was just stating a fact,” Rollerforce explained as he wandered back to his teammate. “What’s this?” he asked gesturing to the machine Groundhog was tinkering with. “Some other form of torture device?”
“Nope,” Groundhog said as he brought two wires together and there was a hiss and a sizzle and suddenly the three humans were momentarily blinded as the lights clicked on. “Back up generator,” Groundhog finished with a small laugh.
“Much better,” Red smiled as he turned off his own light. “Now we should be able to get a better picture of this place.”
“You want us taking pictures?” Rollerforce glanced over at the Autobot surprised.
“It’s an expression,” Red laughed.
“Oh,” Rollerforce shuffled embarrassed. “I knew that.”
Groundhog just snickered. “Of course you did.”
“Shut up, I did!” Rollerforce bit out.
“Whatever you say,” Groundhog laughed as he stared going over the other scattered equipment near him.
“I don’t think there’s much more in this room,” Hound announced after he hopped back up onto one of the crates after checking the contents, taking Rollerforce’s warning to spark.
“We’ll still wait for Maggie to finish going over the human’s paperwork. It’s a good place to rest for a bit,” Red announced.
Mikaela just frowned as now both Maggie and Simmons were flipping through the paperwork. As much as everything in the secret underground base was fascination, she was finding herself a bit bored since she knew nothing of the different scientific computer lingo or any of the machinery everywhere. She sighed as she reached into her bag and dug out one of her granola bars to munch on as she wandered around.
Finding a small door, she carefully opened it to reveal what looked like a lunch room if the sink and microwave were anything to go by, and there were chairs. With a smile, she pulled out one of the plastic chairs and after dusting it off a bit, sat down and looked around the room. There were lockers lining one wall but none of them looked as if anything had been left in them and coat racks where the hangers sat empty.
With a glance to her left, she broke out into a wide smile as she found something instantly recognizable. With a small grin, she pulled her bag closer to her and began digging through. Finding what she was searching for after a moment, she pulled out her wallet and flipped through it to reveal a rather crinkled dollar bill.
Walking up to the vending machine, she tried to flatten the bill against her leg for a moment before trying to insert it into the bright green machine. It immediately spat it back out. Mikaela frowned. “Well, at least I know it’s operational,” she huffed as she once again tried to insert the bill. This time it was sucked in and Mikaela smiled as she hit the top button. Nothing happened.
Mikaela frowned as she pressed the button again only to experience the same result. “What in the world?” she muttered as she pressed the change button this time. No dollar bill was spat back at her. “Stupid thing,” she muttered as she slapped her hand against the button again.
Unfortunately it was the wrong thing to do as suddenly the machine hummed once and began spitting quarters out of the small return slot at an alarming rate. Mikaela jumped back in surprise as now the bright green bottles began bouncing out of the machine, flying across the air straight at her. Mikaela did the first thing that crossed her mind and quickly got out of there at a flat run.
“GUYS!” she yelped as she dash into the large room. “RED! GROUNDHOG! I think you better take a look at this!” The mechs all turned to her just in time to see a large brightly colored thing push the girl out of the doorway to the break room and take off, ducking behind a large crate.
“WHAT THE SLAG WAS THAT?” Rollerforce yelped as he quickly yanked the cannon off the floor where he had set it down and aimed right at the crate. “I thought you said this place was abandoned.”
“It should be,” Inferno growled, his own gun trained on the crate.
“Then what the slag was that?” Bluestreak yelped as he pulled out his own weapon, Motorhead quickly stepped in front of him, drawing his own weapon, much to Bluestreak's annoyance.
“Gremlin,” Red announced with a frown, his gun pointed squarely at the crate.
“Gremlin?” Inferno yelped, taking his gaze momentarily away from his target to look at Red in disbelief.
“Well what do you think it was?” Red snarled.
“Does it matter?” Hound snapped, his gaze never leaving the place where the figure had disappeared.
Everyone stood stock still, their gazes riveted on the small crate where the figure had hidden behind him. Maggie quickly made her way to Mikaela’s side, a worried look on her features. “Are you okay?” she asked.
Mikaela just nodded, not even trembling as she continued to look at the crate with a shocked look about her. She turned back to Maggie, her eyes wide with puzzlement. “I don’t understand it,” she said dazedly. “I only wanted a Mountain Dew.”
