Chapter One Hundred Sixty Four: Packing It In
Sunstorm apparently could not contain his laughter as he wandered away from the group a bit, still cackling madly as Skyfire looked at the group of mechs in complete astonishment. “They do not know of our existence on their planet?”
“Only a select few and only those in a prominent standing,” Ironhide spoke. “It was determined to be the best for all involved.”
“This planet is, as you can see, relatively young and they have never before encountered any sentient beings from other worlds,” Optimus explained.
“That we have proof of!” Steve called out cheerfully, starling the mechs a bit.
“Dad!” Miles groaned in embarrassment.
“What?” Steve laughed. “I’m only stating the truth.”
“Steve, I doubt that there really is anything out there in ‘area fifty one’,” Ron said with a small frown.
“Oh you never know,” Epps chuckled. “It could have been another Cybertronion or even someone else entirely.”
“All the better reason to form an alliance with the Cybertronions,” Will snickered.
“What are we? Your intergalactic back up?” Ironhide tried to hold back his laughter but was failing miserably.
“It’s exactly what I’m saying,” Will grinned mischievously.
“You have no idea how much joy that gives us knowing we have a purpose in life,” Barricade drawled. Bumblebee just shook his head, determined to ignore everyone.
“Oh that is rich,” Sunstorm practically doubled over as he laughed hysterically.
“You keep them ignorant of your presence?” Skyfire asked amazed as he stared at Optimus in shock. “Why?”
“Simple. We don’t wish to scare them,” Jazz said with a shrug.
“The people of this planet are prone to… well, lets just say panic and fear that which they do not understand,” Ratchet told him.
“That and the leader of the country where we are based asked us to keep a low profile,” Optimus explained.
“As much as we can,” Ironhide chuckled.
“Another reason why our Alt forms are so vital aside from protecting us from the raw Energon waves,” Ratchet nodded. “We blend right it.”
“Amazingly,” Wheeljack shook his head. Ratchet gave him a small glare and nudged him in his side.
“Behave,” the medic chuckled.
Skyfire’s head tilted as he thought about everything he was being told. “I suppose it makes some sense.”
“Why in the world would you want to hide our presence?” Sunstorm asked instead as he finally managed to curtail his laughing. “I wouldn’t think we would have any problems subduing these tiny creatures.”
“You would think that but no,” Ironhide snickered.
“They are not without their own technology,” Optimus nodded. “As the ‘Cons found out during the final battle.”
“So it wasn’t just the All Spark that allowed you victory?” Skyfire asked surprised.
“Meet Will Lennox and Robert Epps,” Ironhide grinned as he held up Will proudly much to the man’s embarrassment. “They were a large help in defeating the other ‘Cons while Optimus and Sam took care of Megatron.”
“There are a few other humans back at our base that helped in the battle of Mission city as well,” Optimus grinned.
Skyfire turned to the human seated in the large black mech’s hand. “Pleased to meet you.” Will gave him a halfhearted wave. “So certain members of this planets inhabitants know of us…”
“With in reason,” Wheeljack nodded.
“I suppose that makes sense,” Skyfire mused.
“And then there’s that small group of humans trying to kill us,” Jazz announced really, really cheerfully, ignoring Prowl and Otpimus’ groans as the two fliers just stared at him in astonishment. “But that’s a whole other story.”
“Oh this is a Prime planet for us to make a fresh start on,” Sunstorm shook his head, shooting Skyfire an unconvinced look.
“It is a long story,” Optimus sighed knowing he could not get around the explanation.
“It’s as Ratchet said,” Will told them. “There are those who will always be afraid of what they don’t know and in turn will resent and hate whatever it is.”
“Great,” Sunstorm shook his head as he shot Skyfire a quick glare. “We were better off in that asteroid field.”
“Sunstorm,” Skyfire frowned.
“The person who is after us however do not know where our home base is nor do they know how many of us exactly are here planet side,” Optimus reassured the two. “You do not have to fear being here.”
“And just how many of us are here?” Skyfire asked looking around.
“All of us plus a few we left back watching the base,” Ratchet explained.
“And then there’s Starscream and the other ‘Cons who also apparently are after revenge for killing Megatron,” Jazz shrugged ignoring the glares the others shot him.
“What?” Sunstorm and Skyfire yelped.
“I thought you said the war is over!” Skyfire demanded in disbelief.
“It is but for some reason the ‘Cons don’t really see it that way,” Ironhide sighed.
Skyfire instantly looked over at Soundwave and Barricade who shrugged. “Some mechs just can’t handle change,” Barricade stated with a “what can you do?” look.
“They are insufficiently supplied with the ability to mount a decent attack,” Soundwave reassured the mech. “The one who is currently in charge is…”
“Oh just come out and say it,” Barricade laughed as he turned to the new mechs. “He’s in way over his head if he thinks he can take Megatron’s place in the Decepticon ranks.”
“It’s fine,” Optimus reassured the large mech. “We are sufficiently prepared to fight them off.”
“Yeah! Especially now that we have Energon!” Sideswipe announced enthusiastically.
“Indeed,” Prowl nodded.
Sunstorm frowned as he looked about. “So where is the Energon anyway?”
“Oh, we left it up on the ridge when you made you’re big entrance,” Wheeljack chuckled.
“So I take it it’s all good?” a voice called out and Optimus whirled around surprised and a bit embarrassed.
“Captain Manning!” he called out apologetically. “I’m so sorry! We got a bit… distracted.”
“Understandable,” Manning snickered. “So should my men start preparing for the return trip or…?”
“Honestly Captain Manning, again I am so sorry,” Optimus sighed.
“Think nothing of it,” Manning laughed. “We get paired no matter how long you lot want to dawdle on this planet.”
“Right. We’ll just get the Energon and such and start packing it on the ship,” Optimus nodded.
“Give us a moment to get the jets back below,” Manning nodded.
“Right. Thank you for that by the way,” Ratchet smiled.
Manning shrugged. “Welcome. Just let us know when you’re ready!”
“Will do!” Ironhide nodded.
“Lets go get those sleds,” Optimus called out cheerfully.
“So… what is this planet called anyhow?” Skyfire asked curiously as they headed towards the ridge.
“Earth,” Ratchet told them with a smile.
“Well it’s very… um…” Skyfire looked about at the white expanse of land around them.
“Sparse,” Sunstorm finished as he looked around with a frown. “It’s amazing that these humans have survived.”
“I was going to say ‘quaint’ but…” Skyfire gave his companion a sharp glare.
“Oh no, he’s right. This continent is very barren,” Ratchet laughed good-naturedly.
“However it is the only place on the planet that has Energon,” Perceptor finished with a triumphant grin.
“Hey Optimus!” Everyone looked up at Jazz’s shout in time to see the mech toss a fist full of snow at the Autobot leader, nailing him right in the face.
“Slag it Jazz!” Optimus called out though he was laughing. The other mechs just stared.
“I’m beginning to worry about our new friends,” Sunstorm told the other mech.
“You’ll get use to it,” Ratchet laughed as he headed up the hill after Optimus who was now chasing Jazz, his own hand full of snow.
“Not if you’re sane,” Wheeljack drawled as he came up on Skyfire’s other side.
“It seems that the First Team have picked up some of the human’s… stranger habits,” Prowl admitted as they followed the group towards the sleds.
“The ‘First Team’?” Skyfire asked curiously.
“Optimus, my mate Jazz,” Prowl began.
“My Star Chosen Ratchet,” Wheeljack pointed at the medic.
“As well as Ironhide and Bumblebee,” Prowl finished.
“The young, quiet one?” Skyfire asked surprised.
“Usually not so quiet,” Wheeljack told him. “There have been a lot of developments happening in the past few days.”
“Really?” Skyfire asked curiously. “Such as what?”
“Aside from discovering Energon on the very planet that the All Spark landed on, there seems to be something going on with Sam and the Decepticon Barricade,” Perceptor chuckled as he pointed over at the two ‘Cons.
“The only one who seems to have his head on straight?” Sunstorm snickered as he glanced over at the mech in question.
“Um… yeah.” Perceptor moved a bit back and around putting Wheeljack and Prowl between him and the rather perky seeker.
“What happened?” Skyfire asked even as he snagged Sunstorm’s arm and hauled him back even with him.
“Well…” Perceptor looked around, ensuring that Optimus and the others were well ahead of them. “Apparently Sam is more compatible with our kind than just being able to speak to Primus.”
Skyfire looked baffled but a hand suddenly came down on Perceptor’s shoulder, startling the scientist. “That is none of our business,” Bumblebee frowned at him.
Perceptor’s optics brightened in surprise and he quickly went dead silent as he turned away from the mech. Skyfire watched interested as even Prowl and Wheeljack turned away slightly themselves. Sunstorm gave Skyfire a curious look but the larger mech looked just as puzzled as he was.
“All right, break it up,” Ironhide chuckled as he came up behind them and Bumblebee stepped away. “You lot can have you’re scientific convention later.”
“Wow!” Sunstorm let out a low whistle as he looked at the multiple sleds piled high with the glowing bright pink Energon cubes. “What a haul!”
“This planet is this rich with Energon?” Skyfire asked excitedly as he wandered towards Perceptor’s sled, the closest one to him.
“There’s more in the truck too!” Ironhide laughed pointing towards the trailer that had been left during the scramble.
“Amazing,” Skyfire looked about at the multiple sleds.
“Yeah, yeah, yeah. We got the drill, it’s ‘fascinating’,” Barricade huffed as he held out a wire to his own sled. “Care to help?”
“Of course!” Skyfire said excitedly as Optimus spoke at the same time.
“Leave the newcomers be,” the Autobot chastised.
“It is quite all right,” Skyfire reassured him with a small wave of his hand taking up Perceptor’s line. “I would be delighted to help out.”
“Wonderful!” Sideswipe grinned widely as he held out the cable to his own sled to Sunstorm.
The flier glared at him. “What?”
Sideswipe’s optics flickered before he took a big step back, the cable still clutched in his hand. “Good try,” Sunstreaker chuckled.
“Why dose your sled have so much less?” Skyfire asked curiously.
“Oh Ratchet won’t let me or Jazz pull anything,” Sunstreaker pouted. “He’s so controlling.”
“He’s just worried about the sparkling,” Sideswipe told him quietly.
“The what?” Skyfire yelped.
“Oh dear,” Wheeljack chuckled. “Hey Ratchet! You may wish to take over this conversation!”
“What?” the medic called back puzzled.
“Ratchet can explain it better,” Wheeljack chuckled. “Apparently the story is that Primus didn’t want our kind to go extinct.”
“Can you blame him?” Ironhide chuckled as he took a few steps back, not really wanting to stay for the “baby conversation” again. “I’m going to save myself the trouble.” He glanced down at the human in his hand. “Want me to set you down?”
“If you could. I should probably help with the sleds again,” Will nodded gratefully.
Ironhide grinned as he headed over to where the humans were. “Hey Ironhide!” Ron waved cheerfully from where they were leaning next to the trailer getting out of the wind while Perceptor went over the stacks to check for any damage from the ground shaking from Skyfire and Sunstorm’s landing. “Interesting new mechs!”
“You have no idea,” Ironhide snickered.
“They seem nice enough,” Sam said with a shrug as he nodded to Will.
“Very interesting,” Knight murmured from where he was looking at Skyfire and Sunstorm speaking with the other Autobots. He looked over at Will and stepped closer to the Ranger Captain. “Are we sure we can trust them?” He asked in a rather loud whisper. “If they are with those that attacked us-”
“Why can’t we?” Epps glared at the man. “They seem nice enough and genuine with their story.”
“Besides, I think that they’re a bit out numbered, wouldn’t you agree?” Will grinned up at Ironhide.
Ironhide was snapped out of his thoughts about punting the puny little human agent out into the freezing water of the Arctic and gave Will a large smile in return. “We can handle our own,” he nodded.
“What can we handle?” Optimus asked as he made his way over.
“Nothing,” Ironhide smirked.
Optimus gave him a long look. “Whatever,” he sighed deciding that he just didn’t want to know. “Perceptor said we’re good to go whenever we’re set with the trailer.”
“Right,” Ironhide let out a tired sigh.
“We’ll head over to the sleds,” Epps nodded, squeezing between Will and Knight and grabbing his friend’s elbow. “Come on stud.”
“What?” Will yelped and Miles and Sam had to hide their smiles behind their hands.
“Poor guy,” Miles snickered. “It must be so hard being popular.”
“Tell me about it,” Sam chuckled. “I think it’s the uniform personally. Or that’s what Mikaela tells me.”
“What uniform?”
Both Sam and Miles looked up to find their fathers as well and Knight and Eddie gone and Rumble and Frenzy standing there. “Never mind,” Sam shook his head. “What’s up?”
Amazingly Frenzy stepped forward and snagged his arm, pulling him away just as Epps had done to Will moments before. “Y-y-you ride with u-u-us,” he said with a firm nod.
“You too if you want,” Rumble spoke to Miles. “Barricade and Soundwave are very cautious of the newcomers.”
“What? Why?” Sam asked stunned.
“Lets just say that seekers don’t have such a stunning reputation,” Rumble drawled before he gave Frenzy a quick glance. “That and a mutual friend of ours almost insisted upon it.”
Sam’s eyes widened and he glanced at Frenzy in surprise. The optics darkened momentarily before Frenzy came back. “N-n-not s-s-sane and s-s-seeker b-b-bad com-com-combination.”
Miles and Sam glanced at one another but clearly it was not the time to speak about their “mutual friend” as they made their way over to the ‘Cons. Sam hesitated as he glanced at Barricade but Miles gave him a small smile before he headed over to the Mustang. Barricade turned from speaking with Soundwave before he glanced over at Sam. Sam turned his head away and thankfully Barricade didn’t say anything.
Soundwave finished his talk with Barricade and made his way to Sam. “Thank you Sam,” he said flatly before he offered Sam a lift up onto the sled.
“Welcome,” Sam smiled and soon enough they were all on their way back to the Gauntlet.
“This planet is fascinating,” Skyfire said loudly, still pulling Perceptor’s sled. Perceptor himself was actually working harder now that he didn’t have a sled to weigh him down, darting from one group to the next ensuring the Energon was all securely tied down. “What is that dark blue liquid stuff?”
“Water and don’t go near it!” Ratchet called out. “Its frozen temperature will short you out within moments!”
“Interesting,” Sunstorm drawled as he walked beside his companion. “With in moments you say?” Barricade and Soundwave shot each other a quick glance.
Jazz chuckled as he caught up to the new comers. “So let me see if I understand this correctly,” he asked with a mischievous grin. “You’re Linked with his brother,” he spoke to Skyfire pointing at Sunstorm before he looked at the smaller jet. “And you’re linked to his brother?”
“WHAT?” Sunstorm yelped appalled. “EWWWWWW! Astral? Yuck! Oh no way in the Pit would I be with that nut job! Ick!”
Jazz chuckled as the mech pulled all sorts of faces. “Sorry.”
“Sunstorm and Astralplane weren’t the closest,” Skyfire laughed. “Solarflare however got along with everyone.”
Jazz’s expression turned serious. “You miss him.” It wasn’t a question.
“Okay, enough gossip,” Optimus called out as they finally reached the ship. “Let’s load up!”
“Finally! We’re going home!” Sunstreaker shouted excitedly.
“If I remember correctly, you didn’t have to come,” Ratchet snickered.
Sunny shrugged dismissively. “Whatever.”
“It’s good to see you were successful,” Captain Manning chuckled as he approached the edge of the deck and looked down at all the sleds with Energon. “But why are they neon-pink?”
“Slushies!” Epps started cackling hysterically as he wandered over.
“Oh laugh it up,” Will gave him a small playful shove.
“Okay…” Manning shook his head. “By the way Optimus. The pilots of the Spartan want to know if they can leave yet.”
“Oh yeah, we had forgotten about them,” Optimus groaned.
“I think we had a pretty good excuse,” Ironhide chuckled.
“Why are they here anyway?” Jazz asked curiously.
“Does this mean we’re finally learning what the slag is in that box?” Barricade called out with a huff as he glared at the Autobots.
“Yeah! What is up with the box?” Wheeljack asked curiously.
“That’s what I’ve been trying to find out!” Barricade frowned.
“Hang on, I think I’ve got the paper work,” Manning chuckled as he turned to one of his officers who handed him a folder.
“Why don’t we just open it?” Jazz chuckled as he turned and headed towards the Spartan and the box that still sat beside it.
Optimus shook his head as he held out a hand for Manning to climb aboard. “Wait up Jazz!” he called out with a laugh.
“Jazz! What’s going on?” Prowl called out as he spotted his husband wandering off.
“Christmas came early!” Ironhide called back with a laugh. “We’ve got presents!”
“Presents?” Sideswipe asked excitedly.
“Wow! This thing is big,” Sunny chuckled as he stepped up to the box. “Look! It comes up to our waists!”
“Wonder what’s in it,” Wheeljack mused
“Lets find out!” Jazz chuckled.
“Oh no,” Prowl grabbed the other mechs arm and pulled him back. “We’ll open it.”
Jazz gave him a sweet smile. “You’re so thoughtful.”
“Whatever,” Ironhide huffed as he headed for the box and fiddle with the latch. “Lets see what Keller sent us.”
“Need any help?” Optimus chuckled.
“No, it’s just frozen a bit,” Ironhide grunted. “Give me a moment.”
“Oh! It’s not from Secretary Keller,” Manning stated as he finally found the piece of paper he had been looking for.
“Really? Who’s it from?” Sam asked curiously from the ground.
“Hang on,” he glared at them before he looked the page over. “‘We don’t want it’,” he quoted with a small frown. “‘Qatar’.”
“QATAR?” Will and Epps gasped as they stared at stared at one another before they whirled towards Ironhide and the others. “DON’T OPEN THAT BOX!”
The warning came too late however as the latch had finally came undone and the world exploded.

Author's Note: Gee, let's guess. ;p I think I'm more surprised that no one asked me about the box even though Barricade made mention of it a couple of times. LOL! Please join us next week for chapter One Sixty Five of Cover Me: We Don't Want It!
