Author's Note: There was a standing ovation for the Dew machine in the theater where I was that I just HAD to bring him in! There is a notice at the bottom because I know there is one point that may be confusing but the note will hopefully make things right. On a side note, SkyHighFan asked me what happened to the Age Equivilent chart... I am so sorry to say I forgot it! So here you go!
AGES AS EQUIVALENT TO HUMAN TIME: Prowl: 29-30, Jazz: 27-30 (Give or take a month ^_^), Blaster: 27-30, Bluestreak: 24-25, Hound: 35-38, Motorhead: 24-25, Rollerforce: 25-27, Groundhog: 30-35 (I hope I didn't miss anyone!)

Chapter One Hundred Thirteen: The Gremlins
The underground room was eerily quiet as everyone stood stock still, guns aimed and breaths held as they waited to see what could possibly be hiding behind the large crate. Nothing made a sound and they continued to stand there, waiting. The three humans were still standing beside the large desk, watching the standoff apprehensively as they looked from the mechs to the crate and then back again.
“Do we even know what it was?” Maggie broke the silence by asking Mikaela in a hushed whisper.
“Actually…” Mikaela frowned, a thoughtful look on her face before she turned back to the older woman. “I think it was a Cybertronion.”
“What?” Red looked away from the crate long enough to glance down at the girl in surprise. He frowned as he thought about it and a few of the mechs turned away momentarily to glance at the commander briefly, but apparently that was for the figure behind the large box, as there was a sudden blur of motion.
Rollerforce was the only one who had never taken his gaze away from his target and wasted no time as he let out a shot that instantly set off a chain reaction as the others began shooting as well. The three humans had to clamp their hands over their ears at the sound of plasmas rounds striking metal as the figure easily dodged the blasts and continued ducking and weaving around the crates and broken machinery. Lights flashed as they all tried to be the one to take the unknown foe down before the other side did.
Red Alert was the only one who didn’t get out a single shot as he quickly snagged Inferno’s arm and raised his gun upward. “STOP IT! CEASE FIRE!” he shouted over the noise and amazingly enough, all three ‘Cons instantly stopped their assault.
It took Hound and Bluestreak a moment longer to comprehend the order however and they looked over at Red in surprise. “Why should we?” Bluestreak demanded with a small frown. “We don’t know what that is.”
“Exactly!” Red snapped as he tried to locate the small figure. “It may be one of us that had been held prisoner by Burgen.” He caught motion in the corner of the room and swore under his breath. “Someone catch it!” he shouted, surprising the group at large. “Don’t let him get out!”
“Slag it.” Rollerforce quickly dropped the cannon and made a rather desperate lunge as the figure made a quick dash for the door. He fell just shy of actually grabbing the green creature before it disappeared out the door.
“After it!” Red yelped.
“What?” Rollerforce looked over at the Autobot stunned, but the smaller Autobot had already made a mad dash for the door. “Slag it.”
Everyone took off after Red Alert and the other figure that had dashed out the door and pelted down the hallway deeper into the underground facility. The only one who had a clear visual on the suspect was Red and everyone was surprised when Red suddenly disappeared around a corner. Inferno cursed as he put on some speed and tore around the corner only to nearly fall over in his haste to stop.
“Slagging Autob-!” Rollerforce bellowed as he plowed into the back of the other large mech and cursed again as he felt his own teammates run straight into his own back and the group went down in a mass tangle of limbs.
“What the slag?” Groundhog yelped as he found himself buried under Motorhead and Bluestreak, Hound’s elbow shoved in his face. “Get off!”
“You get off!” Rollerforce shouted. “You’re all heavy!”
“Everyone get off!” Inferno snarled. “RED!”
“SHHHH!” Red Alert appeared out of a small doorway a bit further down the hall with a frown. “You’ll frighten him!”
“We’ll frighten him?” Rollerforce muttered as he reached forward and tried to pull himself out from under the pile. “What the slag?” he yelped as he was unceremoniously shoved aside and Inferno crawled to his feet.
“Red!” he cried, quickly making his way to his small husband.
“Shh!” Red said again, brining a finger up to his lips. “He’s hiding in here,” he said pointing into the room behind him. “I think it was once a storage unit.”
“I don’t care about him,” Inferno frowned. “Are you all right?”
Red looked up at the other mech in surprise. “Yeah, I’m fine,” he said with a reassuring smile.
Inferno let out a whoosh of air as he snagged Red’s hand in his own and pulled the smaller mech towards him. “Don’t do that,” he ordered gruffly.
“Awww… so cute I think I may puke.”
Inferno looked over where Rollerforce was making gagging noises as the others untangled themselves. Groundhog beat the large Autobot to it however as he reached over and smacked Rollerforce on the arm. “Shut it you,” Groundhog snapped as he wandered over to the two Autobots. “What is that thing?” he asked Red with a tilt of his head towards the open doorway.
Red just shrugged as he glanced back into the darken room. “No idea,” he said honestly. “And the lights don’t work in this room either.”
“Do you really think he’s one of us?” Bluestreak asked with a frown as he finally managed to get to his feet with the help of Motorhead. The blue Autobot quickly shook off the hand on his arm and was soon next to Red and Inferno. “I mean, a Cybertronion down here all this time?”
“Who knows anything anymore?” Hound shrugged as he stood up. He frowned at the darken doorway. “I think I left my light back in the other room.”
“I’ve got mine,” Motorhead announced as he shook himself out of his rather miserable state and pulled it off the cable securing it to his waist and he held it out to Red.
“Wait for us!” A voice called out and the mechs turned to see the humans jogging towards them, slightly out of breath. Mikaela gasped for air as she leaned over and placed her hands on her knees as she finally came to a stop. “Man you guys are fast,” she managed to gasp out between breaths.
Red just frowned. “You should have stayed in the other room and waited until we cleared the area,” he told them sternly.
“And miss all the fun?” Maggie asked incredulously. “Not on your life!”
“So who is it?” Mikaela asked as she tried to peer into the dark room curiously. Her bag was missing and presumably still in the other room where she had left it so she her flashlight was missing as well.
Maggie pulled out her own penlight from her fanny pack and tried to peer around the door frame. “Is it someone you know?”
“Wait here and give us a moment to find out, will ya?” Inferno growled as he pulled out his weapon once again and charged it up.
“Inferno!” Red yelped.
“Better to be safe than sorry,” Rollerforce surprised them by being the one to answer as he charged out his own weapon, the cannon still left in the other room.
Red sighed but reluctantly nodded. “All right, let’s play this smart,” he directed as he stepped away from Inferno. “We go slowly and try not to startle the poor thing.”
“First you think he’s a gremlin and now he’s a ‘poor thing’?” Inferno asked skeptically.
“We don’t know what this is,” Red said with a frown. “We’re in an old Sector Thirteen base with a small metallic creature that may or may not be a Cybertronion. And if it is a Cybertronion, we have no idea what type of torture Dr. Burgen put him through.”
“Is it a Cybertronion?” Hound asked curiously.
“I think it is,” Mikaela spoke up again, having caught her second wind. “It was originally a vending machine.”
“A vending machine?” Simmons glanced over at the girl with a frown.
Mikaela nodded as she turned back to the mechs. “He seemed more scared than anything else.”
“That was my observation,” Red nodded.
“So what do we do?” Motorhead asked as he peeked into the dark room.
“Like I said, we go slowly,” Red answered. “We’ll enter one at a time and spread out to make sure he can’t get out or pull any surprises.”
“If you say so,” Inferno frowned as he recharged his weapon.
“Right,” Red nodded. “I’ll go first.”
“Oh like hell you are,” Inferno yelped.
“Inferno!” Red glared at him.
“I don’t want you in any potential dangerous situations,” Inferno frowned.
“It’s my job Inferno,” Red said darkly, his hands dropping to his hips in anger. “I’m the security chief! I have to ensure that everything is secured.” He gave Inferno a glare that Mikaela instantly recognized as her patent “duh” look.
“You shouldn’t be the first one in!”
“INFERNO!” Red snapped, looking to be gearing up for a nice, long argument when an unexpected sentence rang out.
“We’ll go.”
All the Autobots turned surprised at Groundhog’s announcement but the ‘Con was already getting his team into position. Rollerforce quickly slipped next to the door, going flat against the wall while Motorhead took position on the other side frame, kneeling on the floor in case of high incoming fire. Groundhog just shared a look with his team and they disappeared into the darkness before anyone else could say anything.
“Slag it,” Red growled as he and the others quickly made their way to the door as well. “Stay here,” he ordered the three humans as he slipped into the darkness.
Red could tell that Inferno was right behind him and that Hound and Bluestreak went left. There was silence for a moment as Red tried to figure out the ‘Cons position. “Status?” he called out softly.
“Clear,” three voices instantly called out to him.
“Set,” Bluestreak called out just as quietly.
“Ready,” Hound added.
Red could feel a hand press against the small of his back and he couldn’t help but smile as he knew Inferno was behind him. “All right, Motorhead, light.”
A beam of golden light shown out and began a methodic sweep around the room. It apparently wasn’t a storage room as Red had first suspected it to be, but more like some sort of garage as the light soon came to rest on a large black Cadillac Escalade. Red frowned as he looked at vehicle surprised. There was sudden motion behind it and Red instantly straightened as he felt Inferno practically press against his back.
“Was that the vending machine?” Inferno whispered.
“I think it was,” Red said with a frown as he startled his husband by holstering his weapon. “I’m going to try and talk to him.”
“What?” Inferno hissed.
“Just cover me, will ya?” Red frowned as he took a small step forward. “I’m going in,” he called out to the other occupants. “Hold the light steady.”
“Got it,” Motorhead answered.
Red nodded as he took another step forward and into the light’s path. “Hello?” he called out softly, trying to see the small mech-like creature that was hiding behind the large SUV. “Are you there?” he called out. There was a scratching sound and some small twittering before red optics peeked around the back of the truck then ducking back behind it. Red momentarily frowned before he plastered a smile on his face and squatted down so he was more at the other’s level. “It’s okay,” he crooned. “We won’t hurt you.” The creature did nothing and Red sighed, at a loss at what to do next.
“You think he’s hungry?” Motorhead asked in the darkness. “I’ve got an extra Energonbar if you need it.”
“You what?” Rollerforce hissed. “You’ve been holding out on us!”
“I was saving it,” Motorhead’s irritated voice retorted.
“Trust a ‘Con to think of bribing him out,” Inferno huffed.
“Inferno,” Red Alert sighed before he turned towards the general direction he thought Motorhead was. “It would be much appreciated.” There was the soft sound of rustling before a bright neon pink bar was held out to him. Red took the bar gratefully with a soft “thanks” before he turned back to the small mech. “Come on little one. You hungry?”
The small creature peeked out again and stared at the offered bar before it ducked back behind the truck once more, clearly uneasy. Red let out a small sigh before he started to slowly creep forward, trying to get a better look at the thing. The next thing that happened surprised everyone there. The black Cadillac Escalade that the small thing was hiding behind started backing up as Red crept closer.
Red stared in surprise as he quickly ceased all movement, just watching the truck slowly roll backwards before coming to a halt. He could hear Inferno cursing and the three ‘Cons spread out around the room powering up their weapons again. Red just held up a hand in the halt position before anyone could do anything. There was more grumbling from Inferno but Red kept his focus on what he suspected now was two mechs before him.
“Red?” Bluestreak called out hesitantly and Red just made a small motion with his hand again.
“Hang on,” he said to his teammates before he turned back to the two. “Hello,” he said softly. “We’re not going to hurt you. We’re your friends,” he tried soothingly. “It’s okay. You can come out.”
There was a click and the unmistakable sound of the SUV’s back door being opened before being slammed shut and the Escalade startled everyone as it suddenly revved it’s engine and quickly darted away in reverse and even deeper into the darkens. Red cursed as he realized that there was a doorway on the other side of the room and the SUV was making a break for it.
“Wait! We’re not your enemies!” he called out and made to go after the two creatures.
“Red!” Inferno shouted before he let out a yelp in surprise. “SLAGGING PRIMUS! SOMETHING BIT ME!”
“What?” Hound whirled around, surprise at the announcement as he tried to see through the darkness that surrounded the large Autobot. The only thing he was able to see was a small shift in the shadows before a third figure darted out and took off towards the SUV.
“There’s another one!” Bluestreak cried out as he also spotted the small creature dart away.
“Wait!” Red called out as he took off after the disappearing group once again.
“Slag it Red!” Inferno bellowed.
“LOOK OUT!” Hound cried out as there was an ominous rumble and Red looked up just in time to see the ceiling fall down on top of him. Everyone had to quickly duck out of the way before they themselves were caught in the downpour of the falling debris.
“RED!” Inferno cried out desperately. His spark went cold as he tried to reach the smaller mech but he knew that there was no way that he could get to him in time and he watched in horror as his mate become buried under the rubble in horror. “NO!”
“Slag! Red!” Hound cried out as he quickly scrambled towards his fallen friend’s last position.
“RED!” Bluestreak called out as the three Autobots converged on the spot almost in the same moment. Their vision was partially blocked by the cloud of dust, dirt and debris as the pipes, tiles, beams and cement blocks continued to rain down.
“Red!” Inferno called out as he and the other quickly flew into action. Inferno began digging through the rubble, Hound and Bluestreak right beside him, desperately trying to find his mate and praying that he was all right. Inferno cursed as he found a large support beam across the whole pile that buried his mate and he quickly snagged the middle of the beam and tried to yank it off. The heavy thing never budged and Inferno cursed again. “Hound! Help me with this!”
Hound nodded and grabbed the far end and both tried to lift but to no avail. Bluestreak quickly left the smaller pieces of rubble to help Hound at his end as he saw they were having trouble. “Okay, on three-” Hound declared. “One, two, three!”
It was shocking when the beam was lifted right up at Hound’s count and Inferno whipped his head around to find Rollerforce and Motorhead holding up the other end while Groundhog was lying on the ground, shining Motorhead’s flashlight under the beam. “I SEE HIM!” Groundhog cried out. “Keep that beam up a little longer!”
The five mechs quickly tried to balance the beam as Groundhog scuttled right underneath it and right into harms way as he began tossing cinder blocks and assorted pipe work out from underneath. “Hurry it up ‘Hog!” Rollerforce gritted out.
“Almost,” Groundhog’s voice was faint as he crawled further under the rubble. “I GOT HIM!”
“Motorhead, help him out,” Rollerforce snapped as he braced his legs and hefted the beam up to his shoulder. Inferno grunted at the shift in weight as Hound and Bluestreak struggled to keep their end off the ground. Motorhead didn’t waste any time as he quickly dropped to his knees and scooted next to Groundhog.
“Ready?” Inferno heard Groundhog ask. “Get him around the waist. I don’t like the look of his arm.”
“Got it,” Motorhead responded.
“And watch the leg,” Groundhog added. “Ready? Now!”
There was the sudden sound of metal being dragged across cement as Groundhog and Motorhead pulled the unconscious mech out from under the rubble. “CLEAR!” Motorhead shouted and Rollerforce instantly dropped the beam and quickly made his way towards his team.
Inferno was right behind him as he shoved the other mech out of the way and snagged Motorhead by the arm, practically picking him up and tossing him to a very surprised Bluestreak. He was about to do the same thing to Groundhog when Rollerforce and Hound both grabbed him. “Let him work!” Rollerforce snapped, shaking the distraught ‘Bot slightly.
It took Inferno a moment to comprehend the ‘Con’s words and finally clear his head enough to actually look at what was going on. Groundhog actually had his hands inside Red Alert’s shoulder plating and was using a hand held blowtorch to seal a pipe that was leaking Energon fluid. Inferno gasped as he finally just took in his mate’s broken and battered figure.
There were dents all along Red’s body and it seemed that something had managed to slice right into his arm plating, nearly severing the arm from his body. Half of his armor from his chest plating was cracked and broken and there was a rather wicked looking pipe sticking out of his left shoulder while his left leg was bent at a rather odd angle. Any other damage was blocked by Groundhog’s form as he worked diligently.
“Slag it,” Groundhog snapped. “Get me a spare core wire.”
Rollerforce wasted no time as he pulled the required item out of a small compartment on his arm. “Can we move him?”
“Give me a second,” Groundhog growled as he quickly worked on Red Alert’s neck for a moment. He finally sat back with a sigh. “Well that’s stabilized,” he announced to the room at large. “Let me just check his vitals and then we’ve got to get him up to the surface at to your med bay.”
“We don’t have a med bay,” Bluestreak told him solemnly.
“WHAT?” Groundhog yelped stunned. Bluestreak shrank back from the angered glare that he had seen on Ratchet’s face more than a few times. “What do you mean there’s no med bay?”
“Does it really matter?” Inferno snarled. “All of Ratchet’s things are in the main hanger.”
“Wherever! I don’t like the look of that pipe,” Groundhog snapped turning back to his patient.
“Where do you need me?” Rollerforce asked, looking over the injured Autobot.
“I don’t want him shaken too much. Inferno,” Groundhog turned to the fretting mech. “Take his shoulders; Rollerforce, grab his legs. Try to keep him level guys. Bluestreak! Support his head. Hound, Motorhead, would you two mind clearing the way?” he asked pointing to the door they had come through.
“Right!” Motorhead instantly turned and took off out the door, startling the humans who were watching the goings on from the opening.
“Is he going to be all right?” Maggie called out as she watched the three mechs balancing Red between them.
“He should be,” Groundhog announced as he held out a hand for each of the girls while Hound got Simmons.
“He better be,” Inferno snarled.
“Just let ‘Hog do his job,” Rollerforce snapped.
“This is no time for arguing!” Groundhog barked. “Let’s just get the slag out of here!”
It was slow going as they made their way down the hallway, past the large room they had previously been searching and all the way to the first hallway block. They had no time to retrieve the rest of the lights and since Groundhog kept the one they had on his patient, they had to rely on the long cable they had been dragging behind them. Inferno silently admitted to himself, as they slowly made their way, that he was grateful for the ‘Con’s foresight as they finally reached the first cave in they had found.
The three Autobots stared in surprise as the far side of blockage had apparently been, quite literally, blown away. Motorhead’s weapon was smoking from where he clearly had blasted a path for them. “Why didn’t we do that earlier?” Bluestreak mused as he stared at the clear side of the hallway.
“Wasn’t that big of a deal at the time,” Motorhead shrugged.
“Focus!” Groundhog snapped and the rest of the trip to the surface was done in silence. It was when they finally emerged out into the bright light of the afternoon that Hound connected with Blaster and told him to get Ratchet’s gear together for a medical emergency.
Blaster was jogging towards them a few moments later, Fig in hand as he took in the battered security chief. “What happened?” he demanded as he jumped out of the others way.
“We have gremlins,” Hound told him in all seriousness.
“What?” Blaster stared after the group as he followed behind them.
“We think there are some Cybertronions down there,” Bluestreak told him, never taking his eyes off Red’s head that he was supporting. “They might have been experimented on by Burgen and Sector Thirteen.”
“What?” Blaster yelped as they finally made their way to the main hanger to find Judy there. Carol was behind her, though she looked more like a curious onlooker instead of worried as Judy clearly was.
“What happened?” Judy shouted as she looked over the unconscious Red Alert.
“There was a cave in,” Rollerforce told her as they settled Red Alert on the examination table.
“Right, everyone out!” Groundhog snapped.
“What?” Inferno yelped.
“I can’t have any distractions, including a distraught husband! OUT!” Groundhog barked.
Hound and Blaster quickly made their way to Inferno’s side and began guiding him out as Motorhead, Bluestreak and Rollerforce stopped to pick up the humans real quick before Groundhog slammed the door behind them. Inferno stared at the closed panel panic-stricken as he found himself on the other side of where he wanted to be.
Maggie and Mikaela were filling Fig and the older women in on what had happened in the underground base and Fig’s expression darkened while he listened. He turned to the mechs, suddenly all business. “Are they a threat?” he demanded as he looked up at them with a frown.
“We don’t know,” Bluestreak confessed with a shrug. “They didn’t attack us per-say since they were clearly frightened by our appearance. Red’s injuries are more due to the cave in, like we said.”
“Are they really Cybertronions?” Judy asked amazed as she thought over all the information she had been given. “Are you sure? We never heard of any other meteors landing and you’re all accounted for.”
“We didn’t know the ‘Cons landed either,” Hound said as he pointed at Rollerforce and Motorhead behind him.
“You said it was a Cadillac Escalade?” Simmons suddenly spoke up grimly.
The mechs looked down at the former member of Sector Seven surprised. “Yeah,” Bluestreak nodded, puzzled. “Why?”
“And it was a vending machine you found?” Simmons continued on as he turned to Mikaela. “For Pepsi?”
“Mountain Dew,” Mikaela nodded.
“Shit,” Simmons growled. “Then they’re not really Cybertronions.”
“What?” Hound stared down at the human stunned. “What are you talking about?”
“Sam Witwicky,” Simmons groaned. “When he was running from NBE-1, Megatron, in the city, apparently he activated the Cube and some of your kind were… created.”
“WHAT?” everyone bellowed.
Simmons just nodded. “This wasn’t supposed to happen though!” he suddenly shouted. “They were confiscated and were scheduled to be destroyed!”
“WHAT?” The mechs bellowed again and Simmons suddenly found himself the recipient of six very angry glares.
“It wasn’t my decision!” he yelped fearfully as he took a step back. “It was the higher ups choice right before Seven was disbanded.”
“Well clearly Thirteen got a hold of them before that could happen,” Fig muttered.
“Didn’t Optimus say that the life forms that you created from the All Spark’s energy were nothing more than basic life forms?” Bluestreak spoke dazedly.
“That could be why they were afraid of us,” Hound nodded.
It was then that the doors flew open and Groundhog stepped out, his entire body slouched from exhaustion. “He’s out of stasis and in recharge,” he announced before Inferno could pounce on him.
Inferno nearly collapsed in relief. “Oh thank Primus,” he sighed.
“He’ll be fine,” Groundhog said with a grin.
Inferno looked down at Groundhog for a long moment before he looked over at Rollerforce and Motorhead. Rollerforce was already ramrod straight in a defensive stance as they waited to hear what Inferno would say. He surprised them all when all he said was “thanks.”
Groundhog just smiled as his companions stared, gob smacked. “Well I am a medic you know,” he chuckled. His expression then turned to one of puzzlement. “There was something weird though,” he said with a frown. “When I was scanning him I could have sworn I saw a second spark inside him around his midsection.”
“WHAT?” The four Autobots stared at Groundhog in shock before Blaster, Bluestreak and Hound all turned to stare at Inferno stunned. The three ‘Cons were the next ones to stare in shock as Inferno’s optics flickered off and he hit the ground with a thud.
Rollerforce and Motorhead just stared at the prone mech as Groundhog turned to Hound with a alarm. “Should I be worried?” he asked fearfully.
Hound surprised the ‘Con as he threw back his head and laughed. “Groundhog, this is the first good news we’ve heard in days!”
The three ‘Cons glanced at each other curiously before Rollerforce shrugged completely at a loss. Groundhog just sighed. “You grab his shoulders and we’ll take his legs,” he announced as he walked around the prone mech. “We may as well put him with his husband.”
“Poor Inferno,” Bluestreak chuckled. “I don’t think he was expecting Red Alert to get pregnant with a Sparkling this soon.”
The three ‘Cons dropped the large Autobot in surprise. “WHAT?”
“Sparkling?”
“How is that possible?” Motorhead asked stunned.
“Like I said,” Hound chuckled as he looked down at the still unconscious rescue unit. “Gremlins.”
-To Be Continued

Author's Note: Okay, really quick about the Escalade: I know it was only the "Steering wheel" that came to life but that just didn't make sense to me. Sam hit the grill of the car and only the steering wheel woke up? Um... no. So I made a few changes that will hopefully make more sense later on! PLEASE JUST GO WITH ME ON THIS! I PROMISE IT WILL MAKE MORE SENSE.
