Chapter One Hundred Thirty Six: Making Waves
“LAND!” Ratchet cried happily, as they spotted the Arctic coastline not too far off in the distance.
“Someone’s happy,” Barricade chuckled as he watched Ratchet shaking poor Wheeljack in his excitement at the prospect of solid ground.
“He’s not the only one,” Soundwave groaned and Barricade looked down at the other Decepticon now laying flat on the deck, his feet between two of the military jets on as he stretched out.
“It hasn’t been that bad,” Bumblebee chuckled.
“No, it’s been worse,” Prowl huffed as he wandered by, headed towards Optimus. “How are we going to get there since there’s no ferry to shuffle us across?” he asked the blue and red mech.
Optimus just shrugged from where he was seated cross legged on the deck. “Search me,” he sighed.
Prowl could only stare surprised before Epps laughed from the catwalk. “We spoke to Captain Manning and he said he’s going to try and get the ship as close to land as he can and then you guys can just step down.”
“Oh joy,” Ironhide stated sarcastically as Optimus looked up from his seated position.
“And did anyone think about how we’re going to get the trailer off?” he asked with a small smirk.
“We’ll get it down,” Ratchet told him, excitement still in evident in his voice.
Optimus groaned as Sam and Miles snickered. “Is it feasible to take that trailer onto the ice though?” Steve asked curiously, as he stepped up behind the boys.
“No choice, it has all of Perceptor and Wheeljack’s equipment in it,” Barricade said with a small shrug.
“What about my equipment?” Wheeljack demanded as he looked sharply at the ‘Con having only caught the last half of the conversation.
“Nothing,” Barricade snickered.
Wheeljack frowned as Bumblebee shook his head. “Well, at least we don’t have to worry about traffic,” he said with a large grin.
“Even better, we can walk from here,” Jazz said eagerly as he wandered over.
“Exactly!” Sunny chirped as he followed the Pontiac. “Finally we can stretch our legs.”
“It’s about time too,” Sideswipe nodded as he joined his twin.
Barricade frowned as he looked around at the Autobots all wandering over to where they were standing. “Um, I think we may have a problem here,” he muttered.
Bumblebee glanced over at the Decepticon puzzled and even Soundwave looked up from where he was still lying down on the deck. “What are you talking about?” Soundwave asked incredulously. “What could possibly happen out here?”
Everyone suddenly yelped in surprise as the ship began to tilt dangerously beneath them. “THAT!” Barricade yelped as he made a quick grab for Sam and Miles as Bumblebee swooped down and got Steve and Frenzy as the small silver mech cried out in surprise as he began sliding down the runway.
Rumble had grabbed onto Soundwave as soon as he felt himself losing his balance and Ravage had sunk his sharp claws into the deck and braced all four of his legs. Soundwave quickly sat up and brought down a hand to ensure that neither one of them would slid off the side. Buzzsaw and Laserbeak were fine as they instantly shot up in the air the second the ship began moving. Humans scrambled to ensure that not only their equipment was secure, but also that no one went overboard as the ship did an impression of a teeter-totter.
Prowl made a surprisingly leap onto the trailer as it began to slide down off the ship towards the water and Jazz quickly dropped to his stomach and grabbed Prowl’s ankles to keep his husband from being pulled over the side along with it. Perceptor squawked as his side of the ship suddenly lifted up out of the water and he clung to the side to keep from sliding down. Wheeljack snagged Ratchet and the two tried to balance one another. The only ones who didn’t as much have a problem was ‘Bee and ‘Cade as they simply leaned themselves back and stood at an angle to keep their balance.
The mechs all looked at each other surprised and at a loss until Captain Manning suddenly appeared out of the wheelhouse screaming hysterically an alarmed Will and Epps right behind them. “SPREAD OUT! SPREAD OUT YOU WALKING TIN CANS! YOUR WEIGHT IS TILTING THE SHIP! MOVE!”
The mechs scrambled to obey and the ship leveled out once again as everyone darted to a different side. Everyone just stared at one another stunned before Barricade let out a bark of laughter. “I swear you Autobots are your own worst enemies!” he laughed as he set Sam and Miles back on the deck.
“Barricade,” Sam said with a small frown.
Barricade just smirked at him. “What?” he asked innocently. “It’s true.”
“Honestly,” Bumblebee huffed as he set Steve and Frenzy down.
Dark red optics suddenly looked up at him and Bumblebee stared surprised as Megatron gave him a sharp nod of thanks before the color brightened and Frenzy smirked up at him. “N-n-nice ca-ca-catch!” he chirped before he wandered back towards Rumble.
Rumble just grabbed the smaller silver mech by the wrist and stomped towards the door to below deck. “We’ll be inside until we get there!” he called out over his shoulder angrily. Frenzy just gave a hapless shrug as he was pulled away and Sam waved at him before he turned to where Epps and the two captains were stepping down from the stairs.
“Sam! Are you okay?” Will called out as he quickly made his way towards the three.
“Yeah, we’re good,” Sam said loudly as he saw his father appear in the doorway that Rumble and Frenzy had disappeared through.
“Those guys are quick,” Steve chuckled as he pointed at ‘Bee and ‘Cade behind them.
“Happy to oblige,” Barricade chuckled.
“What in the hell were you thinking all standing on the same side?” Captain Manning shouted as he stomped towards where Optimus had scrambled.
“Er… we’re sorry?” Optimus said sheepishly.
Captain Manning just huffed. “For supposed superior intelligent beings, you lot sure are absentminded.”
“We are sorry about that,” Optimus told him, getting his bearings back. “We’re just unused to your water travel. We had nothing like your oceans on our planet.”
“Is that a fact?” Captain Manning sounded intrigued. “No oceans at all?”
“No water whatsoever,” Perceptor told the man. “No plants to create rain.”
“Well if yours was a strictly mechanical planet then it stands to reason,” Knight chuckled as he approached with Eddie behind him. The snowplow driver was shaking his head as he stared at the mechs and Sam had to wonder what he thought about all this.
“We are deeply sorry about that,” Optimus gained Sam’s attention once again. “No one was injured I hope?”
“Nothing we can’t handle,” Captain Manning nodded. “And no one went overboard thank God.”
“Again, our deepest apologies.”
“Will you stop with the apologies?” Captain Manning chastised the large mech. “Honestly, you didn’t know, you do now; just make sure it doesn’t happen again!”
“Oh, right. Sorry,” Optimus muttered, a bit flummoxed by the stern dressing down, as Sunny and Sides both snickered in the background as Optimus looked fairly embarrassed.
“Like children,” Captain Manning huffed with a shake of his head. “We should be there within the hour. Can you last that long?”
“We’ve made it this far,” Barricade told him with a half shrug.
“Good. Do you need a team to head out with you?”
“Actually the fewer people the better,” Perceptor told him from where he was standing kiddy corner to the group. “We’re as yet unsure what effects the Energon will have on a human.”
“Makes sense,” the captain nodded. “Well then you’ll be on your own.”
“Thank you for your understanding,” Optimus smiled.
“And for the ride,” Jazz added with a laugh.
“You’re welcome,” Captain Manning chuckled as one of his subordinates wandered over.
“Captain, we’re almost at the drop point.” Even though the man was clearly speaking to Manning, he was staring straight at Optimus, wide eyed. Optimus waved and the man jumped startled and quickly looked back at Manning who was grinning widely.
“Already? Then that’s great news,” Jazz grinned.
“Oh slag,” Prowl huffed. “Everyone get ready!” he called out as he turned to head towards where the twins were standing.
“DON’T MOVE!” More than a few voices instantly yelled at him and Prowl froze mid-step.
“Oh, right,” he said with a small duck of his head.
Sam laughed softly as he felt an arm go around his shoulder. “We’re in the home stretch!” Miles said with a large grin. “This ought to be fun!”
“We’re not out of the snowdrift yet,” Barricade muttered under his breath. “Still plenty more to go.”
“Yeah, but we get to walk there this time,” Jazz said with a smile. “This should be a piece of cake!”
“You were saying?” Barricade chuckled as they watched Jazz try and keep his balance on the slippery ice a few minutes later.
“Shut up!” Jazz growled as he finally managed to regain his balance, his feet pigeon-toed as he locked his knee joints.
“Hey! Are you going to help us with this or no?” Ironhide growled at the Barricade from where he, Optimus and Soundwave were trying to maneuver the trailer down off the deck of the ship.
“I did offer to help,” Ratchet said with a small frown.
“NO!” both Optimus and Ironhide barked and Ratchet let out a long suffering sigh as Jazz snickered from where he was, not daring to move from his spot.
“Let the burly mechs handle the heavy lifting,” the small saboteur said with a laugh. “It’s what they’re good at.”
“Hey Sunny! Watch this!” Sideswipe called out, gaining the others attention as he suddenly ran a few paces only to stop and slide down the ice as if he were wearing ice skates.
“Looks like fun!” Sunny chirped as he moved to do the same thing only to have his arm suddenly grabbed by Medic. “Ratchet!” Sunny whined.
“Oh no you don’t,” Ratchet frowned at him. “You’re the furthest along. You have to be even extra careful.”
“Slag it…” Sunny pouted as Sideswipe made his way slipping and sliding back to his side.
“Sideswipe, you could help us you know,” Ironhide growled annoyed.
Sideswipe looked up surprised. “But you’re doing such a great job!” he said with a wide grin.
“Slagging youngsters,” Wheeljack huffed from where he, Prowl and Perceptor were still on the ship’s deck, passing the trailer down.
“Better that they amuse themselves than get in our way,” Optimus huffed as he got directly under the trailer and slowly dropped to his knees so they could get the tires on solid ground. Soundwave and Ironhide quickly moved to the rear of the trailer and eased it down so it didn’t bounce on impact.
“Okay! That did it, we’re clear!” Ironhide announced as he stood back up.
“Finally!” Perceptor sighed as he stood up. He quickly sat down and scooted himself off the deck, stepping down to the ice.
“Thank you again Captain Manning,” Will smiled as he shook hands with the other Captain as Ironhide held out his hands for him and Epps.
“Don’t thank me yet,” Captain Manning grinned as the two rangers stepped down. “We still have to take you back.”
There was a collective groan from all the taller mechs and Bumblebee and the teenagers burst into laughter. “Oh man, I’m sorry!” Bumblebee gasped between snickers as the other Autobots plus Soundwave glared at him angrily. “But that was so perfect! And in unison too!”
“You looking to get shot Autobit?” Barricade chuckled.
“It was funny though!” ‘Bee insisted as he leaned down to allow Sam and Miles to climb aboard.
“I must say, I have to thank you for the idea of the chains Barricade,” Optimus stated as he wandered over, surprising the ‘Con. “They work great.”
Barricade looked at the Autobot leader puzzled for a bit before he glanced over at where they had left the trailer. He couldn’t help but smirk himself as he finally saw what it was that Optimus was referring too. Perceptor did not look happy as he stared down at the end of the four chains that had been dropped in his hands, the other end secured tightly to the trailer. “But I’m not a hauling mech!” Perceptor cried frantically.
“You are now,” Ironhide chuckled as he passed by, Epps and Will snickering as well.
“Oh slag off!” Perceptor huffed as he tried to figure out a way to pull the trailer forward with his limited strength.
Ratchet just shook his head before he suddenly gave Wheeljack a small shove. “Well?” Ratchet drawled as Wheeljack looked back at him surprised. “Go help him. Some of that is your stuff too.”
Wheeljack’s optic’s brightened but he finally nodded and wandered over towards where Perceptor was struggling with the trailer. Perceptor’s expression went from frustrated to evil in a nanosecond and he quickly shoved two of the chains in Wheeljack’s hands. Sam and Miles shared another laugh as Wheeljack stared down at the chains as if they were some poisonous snakes he had never seen before.
“Are we all set then?” Knight called up and Optimus glanced down surprised to realize that no one had offered the two men a lift yet.
“Almost,” he replied as he bent down and held out his hands. Knight looked at the offered palm gleefully and quickly scrambled to seat himself while Eddie stared at the hand dubiously for a moment before the older man finally stepped up and quickly settled in, hunkering down in his coat as the wind hit them as Optimus stood.
“All right then! Let’s head out then!” Optimus called out excitedly.
“Got it!” Jazz chuckled, Steve and Ron bouncing in his hands.
“Finally, we’re on our way,” Steve said with a large grin as he brought up his camera and started taking pictures of everyone. The crew on this ship all waved as they began to head out and Frenzy waved back enthusiastically as Ravage bounded ahead of them. Soundwave, taking a clue from the other mechs, leaned down and offered his hands so the smaller of his team could keep up. Rumble looked insulted at the offer but Frenzy had absolutely no trouble accepting the ride.
“Perceptor? How far is it?” Optimus called back over his shoulder.
Perceptor huffed and stopped so he could pull out a small data pad and check the coordinates. “Nearly twenty miles that way!” he announced with a jerk towards the left.
“At least the weather decided to coper-”
Bumblebee’s optics flickered in surprise as a hand suddenly clamped over his mouth. “Don’t say it! Just don’t say it!” Barricade growled and Bumblebee looked at the ‘Con horrified to realize what he had just been about to say. He nodded his head rapidly and Barricade finally pulled his hand away. “Honestly, one would think you at least would know better.”
“What’s the big deal?” Perceptor huffed as he and Wheeljack struggled past them with the trailer. “He was only going to say that the weather was cooperating with us.”
Barricade stopped dead in his tracks as he dropped his head into his hands, Bumblebee and the two boys groaning as well. “Oh no,” Ron chuckled as he watched along with Jazz and Steve.
“Indeed,” Jazz laughed before he turned and called out, “HEY OPTIMUS! We may want to find the humans shelter!”
“What for?” Optimus called back puzzled as he stopped to glance back at his second lieutenant.
“Call it a hunch!” Jazz laughed back. Prowl and Optimus shared a puzzled look as the twins glanced at one another confused.
“Where in the world did those storm clouds come from?” Ironhide huffed as he stared out at the horizon.
“He did it!” Barricade, Bumblebee, Sam and Miles all pointed at Perceptor.
“What?” Perceptor squawked surprised. “I did no such thing!”
“Yes you did,” Barricade contradicted.
“Did not,” Perceptor huffed as he glared at the ‘Con.
“Did too,” Barricade smirked.
“Did not.”
“Did too!” both Barricade and ‘Bee stated in unison.
“No I didn’t!” Perceptor yelped hysterically completely at a loss as to why the First Team were all laughing. “How in the pit could I have conjured up clouds of all things?”
“It doesn’t matter,” Optimus called out with a huff. “What matters now is that Jazz is right. We need to find shelter for the humans at least.”
“What shelter?” Ironhide huffed as he looked about at the barren wasteland. “There’s nothing for miles!”
Everyone went quiet as they tried to figure out what to do when a voice they had never heard before finally spoke up. “Hey Mini!” A deep gruff voice called out. “How far are we to those energy rocks you keep yammering about?”
Perceptor looked at the human surprised before he yanked out his data pad once more. “About seven miles left to go, give or take. Why?”
“What are you getting at Eddie?” Knight frowned as he looked at the other man in Optimus’ opposite hand.
Eddie just shrugged. “Well I figured if this energy source was anywhere near where Seven dug up old N.B.E.-One, then we could use the buildings we left there.”
Everyone just stared at the man as Will shot the man a sharp look. “How in the world do you know about Sector Seven?” he demanded threateningly.
“And how do you know about N.B.E.--er, Megatron?” Ironhide demanded as he glared down at the small human.
Eddie just shrugged. “Simple, I was part of the excavation team that unburied N.B.E.-One way back in the fifties.”
“What?” Everyone screeched surprised as they stated at the man.
“You were Sector Seven?” Sam asked flabbergasted.
“Retired,” Eddie nodded. “Worked from forty three up to when we finally got old N.B.E.-One above ground and out to the California coast in fifty seven. Took the option of early retirement then and came back up here.”
Everyone just stared at the man who shrugged nonchalantly at their shocked stares. “Man Eddie, you sure are keeping some secrets,” Knight laughed hysterically. “Like major secrets!”
“Mmm,” Eddie smirked. “Anyway, back then, it took us a few years to dig old N.B.E.-One or… Megatron?”
“His name was Megatron,” Optimus nodded, a sad downward turn of his mouth showing just how much it pained him to bring up his deceased brother. Sam quickly shot a look in Soundwave’s direction and wasn’t at all surprised to see that Frenzy’s optics were darker and Megatron turning his head away, refusing to look at Optimus.
“Well whatever his name was,” Eddie continued with a shrug. “He was packed in the ice pretty tightly and what with the limited technology we had back then, it took us a long time to get him out. So we had to take time out to actually build a fully functioning headquarters before we could continue to dig him out.”
“You’re kidding,” Epps stared at the man.
“Hey, that ice was thick and we didn’t have the lasers or anything we have now and most equipment we couldn’t get this far north,” Eddie said with a frown.
“Trust the old guy to know more than he’s letting on,” Steve chuckled. “Not that we don’t appreciate it,” he said quickly as Eddie shot him a dark look.
“Okay then,” Optimus said with a sigh. “This means double time until we get to the base. We have to make it before that storm arrives.”
“WHAT?” Perceptor and Wheeljack both shouted aghast.
Barricade said nothing however, just continued to stare down at the small human seated in Optimus’ palm. “Is there any other surprises we do not as of yet know about?” he asked the man bluntly.
The Autobots looked over at Barricade surprised but the Mustang as well as the other ‘Cons were all just staring straight at Eddie, waiting for his answer. Eddie just shrugged. “Not that I can think of,” he admitted. “After N.B.E.-One was secure in Hoover Dam, the place was pretty much left to ruin.”
“Will it still be there though?” Steve asked curiously.
Eddie shrugged. “Probably, but the question becomes what kind of condition will it be in?”
“Great…” Ironhide drawled. “Can it get any worse?”
“DON’T SAY THAT!” Bumblebee, Barricade, Jazz, Sam, Miles and surprisingly Perceptor all yelled at him.
Ironhide jumped in surprise at the sudden surround sound. “Say what?”
“The dreaded ‘can it get any worse’ line,” Jazz laughed. “The last thing we need is any Aliens or Predators to pop out at us.”
“That was in Antarctic,” Bumblebee corrected as they started moving once again. “And besides, I doubt we could get down to the pyramid.”
“True,” Barricade nodded.
Ron shook his head as he stared at the group. “You boys watch way too many movies,” he snickered.
“It was a good movie!” Miles insisted.
“The effects were awesome too!” Sam called out.
“It has nothing on the original Govanator’s movies!” Ron called out with a laugh.
“And Sigourney Weaver kicked alien ass!” Steve agreed.
“Oh please! Their computer took up a whole room and it was green screen at that!” Barricade huffed.
“And the costumes were so funny!” Miles laughed. “You could so tell it was a guy in a suit!”
“Are they going to be like this the whole way?” Ironhide groaned as he looked over at Optimus who snickered.
“But AVP had the best weapons!” Epps suddenly called out. “You can’t beat those awesome combicombes!”
“Not to mention the maze was a great way to keep it interesting!” Will added.
“You were saying?” Optimus laughed. Ironhide could only groan.
