Chapter One Hundred Thirty Four: Captain My Captain
Getting the caribou into Ironhide’s flatbed had been entertaining, to say the least. The first thing that happened was Will had finally stumbled out of the Top Kick, clothing interestingly askew, and Steve had asked innocently if he had been sleeping. Both Will and Sam had gone bright red while most of the others remained oblivious. Epps himself had looked between Will and the grumbling gunner with a wide grin on his face before he glanced at Sam and raised an eyebrow, curious as to why the teenager was also blushing.
Sam just shook his head and quickly retreated towards where Barricade was waiting with his father, Ravage right beside him. Then came the discussion of how to actually get the caribou into the truck. Knight had tried directing the other humans into trying to lift the poor animal themselves in order to move it. Ron and Steve had both protested until Ratchet finally let out a large sigh and reached down to lift the unconscious animal himself, ensuring it was secure.
After re-checking Wheeljack to ensure that he was indeed fine, they were once again on their way towards the next town to drop off the animal. Needless to say the local vet, who was more used to taking care of the family pet, was surprised to see them with their cargo when Ironhide, ‘Bee and Barricade had gone into town. After a long discussion with Will, who had since straightened himself out, the vet finally agreed to take care of the animal until local wildlife experts finally arrived to take the caribou to their facilities more equipped in dealing with larger livestock.
“Well, at least he’s all right,” Sam sighed as he got back into the Mustang.
“You mean thank Primus he didn’t wake up,” Barricade chuckled as they pulled back out of the parking lot and started down the road to try and catch up with the others.
“-I swear, I’m going to get a different alt mode!-” A gruff voice suddenly announced to the group at large.
“-What? Why?-” ‘Bee asked completely puzzled as the two smaller cars quickly caught up to the angry Top Kick who had been every so gradually speeding up.
“I’m sick of being treated like a pack horse!” Ironhide growled out loud.
Barricade just snickered. “Now you know how Optimus feels,” he laughed.
“Shut it ‘Con,” Ironhide growled.
“‘Hide,” Will said firmly.
“What?” Ironhide huffed rather annoyed.
Will shook his head as he stroked the steering wheel. “Just one more night of driving and we should be in Anchorage,” he tried to sooth the agitated mech.
“We better be,” Ironhide huffed.
Sam smiled softly as the voices faded as the larger mech dropped his speed and dropped back again. ‘I don’t think I want to know,’ he thought as he watched the truck drop further and further behind them. With a shake of his head, he reclined the passenger seat and closing his eyes, settled in for the long drive. “Wake me when we get there,” he murmured as he crossed his arms over his chest and tried to get comfortable.
“Why don’t you get in the back seat?” Barricade asked curiously. “Rumble and Frenzy can sit up front.”
Frenzy flicked on one light optic to glare at the front seat from where his head was resting in Rumble’s lap. “H-h-hey!”
Sam just snickered. “Nah, it’s fine. I’m good.”
“If you say so,” Barricade began only to realize that his small human passenger was no longer listening. “Honestly,” the ‘Con chuckled.
“-He’s asleep, isn’t he?-” Bumblebee sent through the radio.
“Out like a slagging light,” Barricade announced.
“Good, he’ll need all the rest he can get,” a deep voice announced from the back seat.
“Slag it! Warn me when you’re going to change!” Rumble yelped angrily.
Barricade quickly checked on his sleeping passenger and wasn’t surprised to find that Sam was still asleep. With a small sigh he turned his attention back to his once leader. “And why does he need all his rest?” he asked curiously.
“Simple,” Megatron grinned as he climbed back onto the seat after Rumble had pushed him off. “We’re coming to the home stretch. Something is bound to happen.”
“-And what gave you that idea?-” Bumblebee, who was still connected, asked curiously.
Megatron just let out a sound akin to a snort. “The boy brings trouble no matter where he goes and we’re going to a place with potentially volatile Energon. You do the math.”
“It seems that we’re going to have our work cut out for us Autobit,” Barricade sighed grudgingly.
“What do you mean ‘we’?” Bumblebee huffed a bit annoyed at the ‘Con for suggesting that he couldn’t take care of Sam on his own.
“Nothing,” Barricade instantly countered. “But be prepared for anything.”
“And we do mean anything,” Megatron agreed with a nod before his optics brightened and Frenzy began chuckling.
“P-p-poor hu-hu-human,” he said with a shake of his head. “A m-m-magn-ne-net for t-t-trouble.” Rumble frowned but said nothing as he reached over and pulled the small silver mech into his lap.
Barricade growled as the two began shifting and wiggling, trying to find a comfortable position. “You two go any further than that back there and I’ll scrap you myself, Soundwave be damned.”
“Yesss Co-co-commander,” Frenzy snickered.
“Damn right,” Barricade huffed before his radio clicked on again.
“-Megatron is correct however,-” Ravage’s voice came over the waves. “-Who knows what we’ll encounter when we get there.-”
“-How are we going to get there anyhow?-” Miles asked curiously. “-I mean, how are we going to get you guys there? You can’t go in the water because your circuits would short out or freeze, right? And what boat could take you across to shore?-”
“Slag if I know,” Barricade huffed as they finally spotted the group of mechs some distance ahead of them. “And what are you doing still up?”
There was a small “I don’t know” sound from Miles. “-Too wound up to sleep,-” Miles admitted. “Left my PSP in Optimus’ trailer.-”
“Can you read a book or something?” Barricade asked curiously.
“-If I had one, I would,-” Miles shot back with a small laugh. “-Anyone want to pick up where we left of with the Energon on the wall?-”
“NO!”
Sam sat straight up in his seat, his eyes wide as he looked around frantically. “I’m up! I’m up!” he yelped before he looked around Barricade’s interior. He looked blearily eyed at the two mechs behind him before glancing at the radio. “Are we there?”
“No Sam, go back to sleep,” Barricade told the boy.
Sam blinked. “Mph ‘kay,” he muttered before he flopped back into his seat and resumed his soft snoring.
Rumble shook his head. “If only Ravage were so compliant.”
“-I heard that,-” Ravage growled.
“-Is there anything that anybody wants to do?-” Miles asked with a small sigh.
“-Try and get some sleep,-” Bumblebee told the boy.
“Indeed,” Barricade agreed with a quick glance at the human boy in his passenger seat. “Tomorrow will be an extremely busy day.”
“Welcome to Anchorage!”
Sam jerked out of sleep at this sudden shout and quickly had to slam his eyes shut as the rising sun assaulted his eyes. “What the slag?” he growled as he shaded his eyes against the bright sun.
There was a chuckle from the back seat. “We-we-welcome b-b-back,” Frenzy snickered.
Sam frowned at the mech before he looked back up to see Knight leaning out of the snowplow’s cab, waving at them. “We’re almost to the base! Just a little longer!” the man called out before he slipped back into the warmth of the cab.
“Thank Primus,” Prowl sighed as he pulled up along side his petite husband. “I don’t think I could take another day of this slagging road trip.”
“No, now the fun stuff begins,” Jazz chuckled, surprising the other mechs around him.
“What?” Sides asked alarmed as he quickly pulled up on Jazz’s other side.
“Now comes the boat,” Ratchet announced as he passed.
“Boat?” Sunny asked curiously.
“You’ve mentioned that word before, what is it exactly?” Perceptor inquired curiously.
“Think car, but it floats on water,” Ironhide stated.
“Floats?” Sides repeated the new word curiously.
“More water?” Sunny asked horrified. “You mean like that rain stuff from the sky?”
“Or like the rivers we went over?” Wheeljack added.
“But why do we need this ‘boat’?” Perceptor asked with a small frown. “Can we not just jump across it if it’s like a river?”
“Think fifty rivers all combined into one giant puddle,” Optimus snickered as they drove through the town.
“Actually, Miles brought up a good point last night,” Barricade spoke loudly as he, ‘Bee and Soundwave brought up the rear. “What type of boat could possibly carry just one of us across, let alone all of us?”
“I’m sure we’ll find out when we get there,” Will told him.
“Does it matter?” Optimus asked curiously. “If it can only take one or two of us, it just means that we’ll have to make extra trips. No harm, no foul.”
“What do birds have to do with anything?” Perceptor asked puzzled and there was a burst of laughter from the men.
“Not ‘fowl’ but ‘foul’,” Epps laughed as he leaned out of Jazz’s window to speak to the tiny mini. “As in ‘foul ball’.”
“Oh…” Perceptor still didn’t sound like he understood at all but dropped the subject nonetheless.
“-We’re almost there too,-” Prowl announced over the radio. “- And remember we’re in a populated area. Radio communications only.-”
“-Spoilsport,-” Jazz snickered.
“-Speaking of radio communication,-” Optimus mused. “-Soundwave, if you wouldn’t mind getting in contact with Blaster.-”
“-Of course Optimus Prime,-” the monotone voice responded.
Optimus let out a heavy sigh. “-You’re not going to drop that, are you?-”
“-No,-” Soundwave stated flatly before he began relaying the signal off a passing satellite in order to reach the desert around Tranquility.
There was silence for a long moment before the signal connected. “-Did you find them?-” Blaster asked frantically, his voice a high-pitched screech of distraught worry.
There was a moment of surprised silence from everyone before Ironhide spoke. “What the slag is his problem?”
“No clue,” Ratchet admitted.
“-Radio contact!-” Prowl snapped.
The two went silent as Soundwave resumed speaking with the Autobot communications mech. “-Find who Officer Blaster?-” he asked curiously.
“-Lieutenant Soundwave!-” Blaster yelped in surprise. “-Why are you calling me? What happened? Is something wrong?-”
Barricade listened to this a bit puzzled, wondering what it was that had the Autobot so distracted that he hadn’t realized who it was that had placed the call. Clearly he had been waiting for a call from someone else, someone looking for someone or something. Just what in the world was going on at that Autobot base of theirs?
“-Nothing is the matter Officer Blaster,-” Soundwave reassured him. “-We are simply notifying you that we have made it to Anchorage and are headed for the military base.-”
“-Oh, right well--” There was the sudden sound of a large crash and everyone could hear multiple voices yelling in the background. “-Slag, I’ve got to go! Good luck! Bring back lots of Energon! Blaster out!-” And with that, the line went dead.
“-That was different,-” Jazz chuckled.
“-I hope everything is all right,-” Optimus mumbled worriedly.
“-Relax. They’re professionals, same as us,-” Ratchet chuckled. “-Besides, you left Red in charge. What’s the worse that could happen?-”
“-Oh Primus, we’re not going to have a base when we get back, are we?-” Ironhide groaned.
“-Stop being dramatic,-” Jazz laughed. “-It can’t be that bad.-”
“-Wanna bet?-” Ironhide drawled.
“-You’re on!-”
“-Tank of oil says that the base is completely fine but Inferno and the others aren’t.-”
“-Optimus!-” Prowl gasped stunned.
“-What?-” Optimus asked oblivious as to why Prowl was so surprise.
“Heads up guys. We’re approaching the base,” Barricade called out rather amused by the Autobots antics.
“-And not a moment too soon,-” Bumblebee laughed as they turned the corner and the snowplow pulled off into the base parking lot.
The mechs had a completely unobstructed view of the base and the ocean beyond, with the rather large aircraft carrier floating calmly in the bay. They all looked at the boat, or rather ship, in stunned surprise until there was a bark of laughter from Steve. “I’ll say this, you people sure know how to travel in style!”
“We finally made it,” Bumblebee announced with a grand sigh as they pulled into the base’s yard.
“Took us long enough,” Barricade drawled as he pulled up behind the ‘Bot.
“Welcome!” Knight chirped as he jumped out of the snowplow’s cab and made his way towards the mechs. “And isn’t it a lovely day for sailing?”
“But that is not a sail boat,” Wheeljack stated puzzled.
Knight blinked at the mechs confusion. “Er, right. Anyway,” he shook his head as he turned to greet the man approaching with a few of his men behind. “May I present Colonel Wade; he’s one of the head honchos around here.”
Colonel Wade frowned as he shot Knight a disapproving look before he looked back at the assorted group, mainly at Will and Epps who had made a quick stop to change back into their Ranger uniforms. “Captain Lennox, Sergeant Epps,” he said as he nodded at each man in turn as they saluted.
Knight rolled his eyes. “And may I present Captain Manning, Captain of the Gauntlet.”
Captain Manning gave a quick salute before he looked over at Will. “Captain,” he greeted.
Will smirked. “Captain,” he repeated.
“Oh Primus,” Barricade huffed from behind the group. Sam shot the Mustang a dark look before he glanced back at the men who were speaking again, having clearly missed Barricade’s soft growl.
“Well, let’s start getting these vehicles on the boat,” Colonel Wade was saying.
“Ship,” Captain Manning instantly corrected.
“Whatever. Those car’s are distracting my men,” Wade huffed and Sam was surprised to see that it was true. Everyone on the base, both inside the buildings and out, were just standing there, in the doorways or at windows, staring at them.
“Right. It’s best we get on our way,” Will nodded in agreement, hoping to stop any argument before one began. Clearly, Colonel Wade was not pleased with their presence on his base.
“This ought to be good,” Barricade muttered under his breath again as the Colonel, Captain and the rest of the men began wandering back to whatever it had been they were doing.
“Hush,” ‘Bee hissed at him and if he could have, Barricade would have shrugged indifferently. As it was he simply sat back on his tires in a huff.
Knight watched the men go before he turned back to Optimus and the others. “Only Captain Manning and his crew know about the Cyber T project so unfortunately you can’t transform until you’re on the ship.”
“I can wait a few more moments before standing up and stretching,” Ironhide announced, pulling up right behind Will. Sam could bet that if he were in mech mode, he would have been glaring.
Knight it seemed, was completely oblivious to the danger he was in as he stepped even closer to Will. “We’d best get everyone to the dock,” he said with a wide smile. “There’s a ferry to take you all to the ship.”
“Super,” Epps snickered. Knight blinked in surprise before he nodded and turned to lead the way.
“I can not wait to get on that boat and leave this weirdo behind us,” Ironhide announced softly to Ratchet beside him.
“Really?” Ratchet simply drawled.
“Oh, and I’ll be going with you to the Arctic,” Knight announced over his shoulder cheerfully.
Ratchet snickered as Ironhide let out a strangled gasp. “You were saying?”
“Slag.”
“This is going to be fun!” Sunny chirped as he passed them by. “I’ve never been on a boat before.”
“Ship,” Optimus and Jazz both corrected absently.
“Oh, right.” Sunny didn’t seem to care one whit about what the thing was called; he was too excited to go for a boat ride.
“Can of oil says he’s going to be hurling over the side in no time,” Barricade chuckled.
Sam and Miles glanced at Barricade amused as Bumblebee let out a small smirk. “Fine, I’ll say Jazz since we already know he can get motion sickness.”
“We’ll see Autobit,” Barricade drawled.
“Well damn,” Barricade huffed an hour later after the ship had left port and everyone was watching the mech leaning over the side groaning and yakking up oil. He had been at it a good twenty minutes by this point and Sam had to wonder how long he had been holding it in before he could actually transform and do something about it.
The multiple ferry rides to get everyone across had taken a long time and had managed to attract quite the crowd as they all gawked at the cars. Everyone in Anchorage was already curious about the aircraft carrier and as a result, when the group finally did arrive, everyone was there trying to figure out what in the world was going on. Since there was a large group of people all on the shore, everyone had to wait until they were well away from the town before they could transform. Some of them immediately wished they hadn’t though.
Sam wasn’t sure if he should laugh or not, feeling a bit of sympathy for the clearly unwell mech as his husband was fretting back and fourth, clearly concerned for his well being. “Poor Ratchet,” Sam shook his head as he watched Ratchet suddenly lean over the side again.
“Poor everyone,” Miles snickered as he looked over to were even Optimus was swaying on his feet. Ironhide had taken the smart approach and had quickly transformed back into his truck mode only moments after he had shifted. Will had gone to comfort him despite himself looking rather green and was currently seated in the Top Kick’s cab speaking with him.
Soundwave also seemed to be feeling the effects considering he had sat down smack dab in the middle of the ship’s deck and refused to stand up again. He glared at his team as the smaller mechs all snickered at him. Soundwave frowned before he glanced at Barricade with a fierce scowl. “Why are you okay?” he demanded flatly. “This rolling and rocking is atrocious.”
Barricade just shrugged as he smirked down at his friend. “Different center of gravity,” he explained as he glanced over at the other Autobots. “The taller mechs all seem to have a problem with the movement.”
And it was true as Sam looked about at the Autobots. Amazingly, both Sunny and Jazz were completely fine, their husbands on the other hand… Sunny had Side’s head in his lap and Prowl was leaning against the ships control tower looking for all the world like he wanted to join Ratchet at the side of the ship. Perceptor was also fine as he was staring over the other side of the ship, trying to see what types of fish he could see and exclaiming excitedly whenever he spotted one.
“If they sink my ship, there’ll be hell to pay you know,” Captain Manning drawled as he approached Epps.
Epps just shrugged, glancing back at where Will was still seated in Ironhide’s cab. “They know well enough,” he told the man.
“Hmmm,” Manning frowned before he turned back around, only to find his entire crew staring at the mechs in awed astonishment. “Back to your stations!” he barked and the men scrambled.
Sam shook his head as his father looked over at him. “Shall we head to the cafeteria then?” the older Witwicky asked him.
“Mess hall,” Epps corrected.
“I don’t care what the room is called as long as it has some decent food in it,” Ron shrugged.
Epps let out a bark of laughter. “Then you would have been better off eating in Anchorage,” he told him.
Ron shrugged again before he looked back down at Sam. “Coming?”
Sam shook his head and declined before he made his way over to where Bumblebee was seated on the deck. “Don’t tell me you’re feeling ill as well,” he smirked at his friend.
“Oh no,” Bumblebee chuckled as he held out a hand for Sam. “I’m just relaxing.”
“First time in a long time we’ve been able too,” Barricade agreed as he wandered over before he smirked. “Pity that most of us can’t enjoy it.”
“Slag off,” Soundwave growled at him.
“P-p-poor S-S-Soundwave,” Frenzy chuckled.
There was a sudden crunching sound and everyone startled at the sound as they looked over to find Prowl jumping up from where he had apparently bent one of the walkways when he had reached out to balance himself. There was an angered shout and Captain Manning was suddenly yelling at the rather flustered mech.
“Oh dear,” Sam snickered as he saw Will exit the Top Kick, Epps already headed towards the angered man.
“We’d better reach the Arctic soon,” Bumblebee stated as he glanced over at the still ill Ratchet, Wheeljack rubbing circles on his back in a soothing motion, unsure what else to do for him. “For my sanity if no one else.”
Sam glanced over at the ill mechs and couldn’t help but agree when he spotted Will suddenly dart towards the side and lean over the rail himself. “Dramamine,” he muttered. “We forgot the Dramamine.”
“I think Ratchet’s next project is to find a Cybertronion equivalent,” Bumblebee chucked.
“If we have to make a second trip up here, he’d better,” Soundwave growled.
“Oh it’s not that bad,” Barricade told him with a smirk.
Soundwave just gave him a dark look. “Wanna bet?”
-To Be Continued
Author's Note: Yup, they finally made it to the base and they're on the boat and on their way! Kallipso, who had only JUST returned from a cruise told me that the higher you were, the more you felt the boat rocking so I quickly applied it to this chapter. I hope it made sense! Please remember this is only post One of Seven!
