Chapter One Hundred Eighty Three: A Restful Recap
Bumblebee had never seen a fight quite like the one currently going on before him. He could bet that many had never seen a fight like this one. Everyone was sliding in the foam, a task made even more difficult with Scorponok underfoot, while the flying twins were dive bombing everyone and firing at them with what seemed to be a liquid cannon of some kind. There was shouting, shoving, swearing and just utter insanity. 'And they're the "adults",' 'Bee sighed to himself. Even Barricade seemed to be in the madness. To be fair though, it seemed as if he and Soundwave knew the other Decepticons so it could be that they were trying to prevent the others from shooting their friends.
Bumblebee wasn't going to wait for things to calm down to find out however and with a sigh, started herding the humans towards the bridge and the buildings beyond just so they were no longer in the line of fire. Megatron- or Frenzy, 'Bee didn't quite care at this point, quickly took the hint at 'Bee's sudden movement and snagged Sam's arm, hauling him away from the lunacy that was their Cybertronion companions. With the other smaller mechs leaving with them that was all took to snap the other humans out of their stupor and follow. Bumblebee gently nudging Miles with his foot might have helped though.
Making a wide circle around the shouting, shooting and foam covering the ground, 'Bee shuffled them towards the cafeteria where he assumed the ladies were. "I can only hope there are no more surprises," he heard Will muttered as the man pulled open the door frowning when Ravage pushed passed him and entered the building first. Whether to scout for anything else that could be a danger or just because he wanted to get as far away from the chaos didn't seem to amuse Will as he marched in after the cat.
"May as well ask the sun to stop shining man. You'll have better luck," Epps chuckled, following his friend.
Sam waved up at 'Bee before being pulled into the building by Frenzy as Rumble gave the larger mech a sharp nod of acknowledgment, slipping behind the boy and in front of Knight. Bumblebee nodded back in thanks and waved at the others before turning and leaning back to watch the commotion still unfolding before him. It was good timing too as he dodged a foam pellet that headed right for him. "I'm so not getting enough hazard pay for this."

"Hello?" Epps called out as they took in the assortment of party decorations still littering the tables and draped over chairs. There were even a few balloons tied down to table legs. "Is there a party goin' on?" he snickered as he waved at the small group at one of the tables.
"Hey! Look who's back!" Fig cried out excitedly from where he was sitting surrounded by Maggie, Glen, Simmons and all of their computers. Calls of surprise and greetings rose from the table at their appearance.
"Fig my man!" Epps called out as he headed towards his friend. "What did you think of staying at the Hotel de Cyberton?"
Fig just burst out laughing. "I knew you two were crazy but I never knew how much before I met your friends."
"Yeah, crazy birds of a feather flock together that's for sure!" Epps laughed. There was a huff from above as Laserbeak and Buzzsaw landed on the backs of two chairs. "What? I wasn't talkin' 'bout you! I was talking about us!" The birds did not look impressed and there were snickers all around.
"Sam! Ron! You're back!" Judy yelped emerging from the kitchen with Mikaela upon hearing the commotion.
"You didn't hear all the noise outside?" Sam asked incredulously. "Its like a war zone out there!"
"There's always a fuss outside nowadays," Maggie laughed.
Judy was still frowning as she ticked things off her fingers. "Dang it. Red Alert said it would probably be tomorrow before you got here!" she gestured towards the decorations littering the room. "Nothing's ready! We haven't even picked up the cake yet."
"We can always leave and come back if you want us too," Ron chuckled.
"Oh!" Judy blinked before entering the cafeteria proper and engulfed first Sam then Ron in a hug with a kiss on the cheek. "Oh of course welcome home! I am glad you're back. I hope you guys had a great time!"
Sam gave his mom a large hug while Miles gave his own mother one after Carol trotted out of the kitchen with a squeal of happiness. "It was fun that was for sure."
"Oh I bet," Mikaela smirked before she set down the object in her arms and gave Sam a hug herself. She surprised Miles who blushed beet red as she quickly hugged him as well before heading off towards Will and Epps. And just because she got Frenzy, Rumble and Ravage. Frenzy hugged back gently, Rumble looked distinctly uncomfortable and Ravage let out a mechanical purr of thanks that earned him an extra scratch behind the ear.
"Let's just say it could have gone smoother but we did have fun," Sam snickered as he fiddled with the car part Mikaela had left on the table before he got a hug from Maggie as well and a welcome home slug in the arm from Glen.
"Man, if only all road trips were as exciting!" Epps chuckled. "Wait until we tell you, you guys won't believe it! The whole thing was just insane! Just insane! More than any of our deployments that's for sure, right Will?" Will nodded in agreement as he tried to find an unoccupied, bird-free chair.
"You're not the only one with a story!" Fig responded as he moved from the smaller round table cover in computer parts and wires to the larger, also cluttered with decorations long table. "Wait until we tell you what's been goin' on around here!"
"Okay, before anything gets said though-" Will directed towards his friend. "There's something we have to tell you."
Fig blinked, stopping mid-hobble on his crutches to stare at Will. "Tell me what?"
Will winced, wondering how best to go about breaking the news. "You remember Qatar?"
Epps let out a snort. "Subtle Will." Will shot him a glare before turning back to Fig who seemed surprised at the question.
Bemused, the other man lifted his still injured leg a bit. "Kind of hard to forget, don't ya think?"
"What's wrong?" Simmons demanded with a scowl, his gaze darting to Sam quickly before back at Will. "What happened? Do we need to call Keller back?"
"No, we don't have to go that far," Will shuffled a bit before turning back towards Fig. "You would never blame a police dog for doing his duty if the officer set him on you, would you?"
Fig's expression became completely confused at that statement. "Of course not. He's just doing what the cop said, why? What's this about?"
Taking a deep breath, Will went for broke. "Scorponok. That metal scorpion that attacked us in Qatar."
Fig went very, very still. "The thing that killed Donnelly? What about it?"
Will squirmed a bit under Fig's dark gaze. "Well it kind of… followed us home?" The others looked to Sam, Miles and their fathers who gave small nods in assessment. Fig however just kept a level gaze right at Will, his expression now a complete blank. "It wasn't his fault?" Will continued almost hesitantly.
"Is that what you meant by police dog?"
"That's basically what Scorponok is," Rumble picked up the explanation, completing shattering the tense atmosphere as he plopped into a chair. "He's a baseline mech. Not a drone per-say but he really is more of a… pet than anything else." He poked at one of the streamers on the table before Frenzy slapped his hand away.
"R-r-rumble," Frenzy frowned his partner in the side.
"So he's not really a mech but more like an animal?" Maggie asked surprised. Most of the gazes turned towards three of the mechs.
"What?" Laserbeak snapped at them. "Not like us or anything! We're fully functioning despite our designs. His processor is just wired for the most basic and simplest of commands." All eyes went to his partner where Buzzsaw was busy staring at his reflection in one of the foil balloons and growling at it. Laserbeak pushed him off the chair where he landed on the floor with a clang.
Ignoring the slight fuss, Rumble turned back to Maggie. "Exactly. A lot like the animals of you planet he has only the basic survival and living codes. Try and ask him to help with normal everyday tasks and all you'll get is hissing."
"Kind of like Ravage," Buzzsaw snickered as he clambered back onto his chair. Ravage kicked the chair legs and the buzzard went down again with a yelp.
Fig was very quiet as he mulled over the information before the tension left his shoulders and he seemed to deflate. Glen nudged a chair in his direction and Fig sank into it gratefully. "I guess it can't be helped," he said after a moment. "But it will take some time to get use to him."
"Is he dangerous or does Optimus and the others have in under control?" Simmons questioned.
"To a point," Epps shrugged as he pulled out a chair for himself and flipped it around to straddle it. "He's imprinted on Sunstorm but since Stormy himself is a little-" he whistled and spun his finger around in circles by his temple. "It's touch and go."
Blank faces stared at him. "Who?"
"The new mechs we met in Antarctica," Steve grinned mischievously as he also sat down at the table.
"New mechs?" Judy sounded excited as she joined them.
"New mechs?" Simmons sounded distraught looking like joining them was the last thing he wanted to do.
"Yeah," Sam smiled as he and everyone sat down. "Two fliers arrived in Antarctica and two arrived later on the ship."
"Fliers? Like Starscream?" Mikaela asked surprise.
He nodded, fiddling with the car part again as everyone turned towards him. "Yeah. Caught onto the ARC's signal when we activated it."
"And they came here instead of going to look for Starscream?"
"They're neutrals," Ron picked up the story. "Or were neutrals back on Cybertron." Simmons visibly relaxed.
Mikaela looked thoughtful. "Red and the others didn't say anything to me. Did you hear about this?"
Judy shook her head. "Not a word. I would think that there would have been some panic on where exactly to put them if we knew there were two more mechs coming. There are only so many hangers even with some of them doubling or even tripling up"
"I don't think Optimus ever got the message out what with Sunstreaker and everything," Ravage chuckled.
"What about Sunny?" Judy whipped about to stare at Sam. "Did something happen with the baby?"
"In a way," Sam gave his mother a wiry grin at the sudden intent stare from the women. "Sunny went into labor."
"There's a baby?" Maggie sounded excited.
"Already?" Carol sounded stunned. "We didn't get to do the nursery."
"We may not really need it," Ron chuckled. "They acted like babies those first few days but after that they seemed to go straight into toddler stage."
"Then what would you call that out there?" Epps snorted as he jerked a thumb towards the direction of the courtyard where shouting could still be heard.
"The terrible twos?" Steve laughed.
"The baby is the one making all that noise?" Carol asked horrified.
Judy meanwhile shot a sharp look towards her husband. " 'They acted like babies'?" The rest of the base team turned surprised at the stress on the first word and looked eagerly at the away team.
"Apparently twins can run in Cybertronion families too," Ron announced with a shrug.
"Sunny had two?" Mikaela yelped.
Miles laughed. "There's two." Sam and the others burst into snickers of their own, much to the confusion of the others.
"Why is that funny?" Simmons frowned.
"Oh it's just Ironhide being Ironhide," Will chuckled. "We heard his cry of horror about there being two medics all the way on the other side of the moat." Everyone laughed at that. Even Simons wasn't above a small smile. "Though who the other medic is, I can only assume you'll tell us during your story time?" Judy and Mikaela just smirked while Simmons rolled his eyes.
"So the twins had twins, huh?" Glen snickered. "And they're fliers also?" The rest of the base crew gave him inquisitive looks and he shrugged before pointing towards Sam. "He said two fliers then two fliers later for four. I can only assume the other pair was the kids."
"How in the world did Sunny and Sides' have fliers?" Mikaela asked stunned. "Even if Ratchet had to build them a body, why would he make them fliers?"
"He kind of didn't have a choice. We had to dismantle one of the jets for the All Spark to make bodies for 'em," Sam explained vaguely. "Frankly, you're going to have to ask Ratchet for details about it. I just held the shard and pointed where they told me too."
"Wait," Maggie startled in bewilderment, "what jets?"
"Perhaps we should start from the beginning," Ron laughed.
"If it's going to be a long story, we should probably get dinner going," Judy smiled. "Hope we have enough for everyone tonight. Fig was going do a barbeque tomorrow but it's too late to fire up the grill now."
"Oh please tell me none of it's going to be gators," Epps moaned as he slumped in his chair. "Crikey may take the other leg in retaliation for eating his cousins." Fig stuck out his tongue.
"Do we have enough cutlery though?" Carol asked, frowning at Knight. "It seems as if robots aren't the only one who acquired new companions." She sent the man seated at the end of the table a pointed look. "And you are?"
"Oh!" Judy spun around before she too spotted Knight and a bright smile graced her features. "Hello there. Welcome to the insanity."
"It's insane all right," Knight chuckled as he shook Judy's hand. "I was the government liaison in Alaska. Call me Knight."
"Well if you're here that could only mean things didn't go as planed," Judy laughed. "Part of the long story?" she asked Sam who nodded.
Rumble gave Frenzy a nudge as he spotted Simmons thoughtful frown and Frenzy nodded back, his optics flashing darker momentarily to show Megatron had also spotted the look. They silently planned to snag the ex-sector seven member later and thoroughly interrogate him on what he might know about Knight.
"So how many mechs does this make now?" Glen asked curiously.
"Including the Gremlins?" Maggie asked, running through the list in her head.
"A lot," Fig summarized with a snort.
Sam and Miles shared a puzzled look before turning to Mikaela. "Gremlins?" Sam finally asked.
She grinned at them while Judy let out a snort of her own as she and Carol left to prepare dinner. "Gremlins," she confirmed with a sharp nod. "Like the one you're currently petting."
Sam became very still even as Maggie and Glen laughed slightly at his dumbfounded expression. Slowly, Sam looked down at the innocent steering wheel in his hands. In truth, it had been vibrating slightly as he fiddled with it. He thought it was one of those odd novelty ones people heard about.
Gently, he leaned forward and placed it on the table. Apparently the "gremlin" didn't like the fact that his massage was cut short and the next thing Sam knew there was a clicking sound and the steering wheel suddenly had legs and was trying to climb back into his lap with a mechanical churr. He looked towards Mikaela for direction when there was a yelp from beside him that startled everyone.
"Spider!" Miles was across the room before anyone could fully comprehend what it was he had shouted. "Why does it look like a spider? Is there some reason it looks like a spider? Why can't it look like something else? Can't he change into looking more normal?" he paused with a glance at the mechs seated at the table. "Well what's normal for them?"
Steve was groaning even as Ron gave him a sympathetic pat while Sam rolled his eyes at his friend's arachnophobia. "So Ironhide isn't as crazy as he makes everyone believe huh?" he asked the room at large as the wheel clambered down into his lap again. He hesitantly reached out and pat what he hoped was the head.
"Where did they come from?" Ron was leaning forward, trying to get a better look.
Will frowned down at the creature. "Did they come with those new mechs outside? The Decepticons?"
"Considering the gremlins were stealing Optimus' data pads long before then, no," Mikaela snickered. She turned amused eyes to Sam. "You mean to tell me you don't recognize him?"
Sam gave her a puzzled look. "Why would I recognize him?"
Mikaela rolled her eyes. "There's a mountain dew truck outside. You haven't made the connection yet? After all that paperwork you had to fill out in triplicate about them?"
Frowning in concentration, Sam tried to remember what mountain dew had anything to do with the Cybertronions when his eyes widened and he stared down at steering wheel. "That snooty girl whose car I bumped into while running from Starscream. The one that got attacked by her steering wheel."
"Oh I remember her. We had to completely replace her car completely after that," Epps laughed. He looked down at the steering wheel. "From what I saw, she deserved getting attacked from a Cybertronion face hugger."
Will rolled his eyes at the "Aliens" reference. "The Mission City mechs," he confirmed. "So there was that and a vending machine… and one more I can't remember."
"There was a vending machine, an x-box and him," Sam gestured to the steering wheel. "So the three were brought here? Why didn't Keller say anything?"
"There are four actually," Mikaela corrected. "The All Spark activated not only the steering wheel but the whole Escalade. They're like… partners? I'm not sure how that works."
"Don't look at us," Laserbeak huffed at the stares they were receiving. "We don't even know what you're talking about."
"In-in-indeed," Frenzy nodded, his optics still locked on the steering wheel where Sam realized they had been focused on since the revelation that it was alive.
"When I was running from Starscream in Mission city with the Cube," he explained to the mechs present. "I had bumped into a car and something happened where the All Spark resonated and created new mechs out of the electronics closest to me." He raised the steering wheel. "Case in point."
The Decepticons turned to stare at Spindle who was still purring in Sam's lap. "So the All Spark made mechs?" Buzzsaw cocked his head.
"Really?" Knight suddenly spoke up, leaning forward to stare at the steering wheel.
Sam leaned back slightly, almost wanting to hide the wheel from the man's intent gaze. "Er, when the Cube was whole, yeah. Though I don't think we can do that now that there's just the shard left." Mikaela gave Sam a curious look at his strange uneasiness before glancing at the so-called "Knight". She would have to ask about it later.
Frenzy leaned forward to give the smaller mech a small pat. The purring stopped as green optics locked on Frenzy's red. "G-g-green?"
"Surprised us too," Mikaela finally turned away from Knight to answer, knowing it was more Megatron's shock than Frenzy's. "We assumed it was because the All Spark was on Earth for so long."
"We've named them the Terraformers," Glen announced with a smile. "Though when the mechs are upset with them they still call them Gremlins."
"That's Spindle," Maggie added.
"And the car is Gravelgrinder. We named the X-box Neurotoxic and Dispensor for the vending machine for lack of a better name," Fig smiled.
"So where did they come from?" Sam inquired. He got incredulous stares and rolled his eyes. "I mean, obviously, I know how they were made, but did Keller send them to us?"
"Actually we got them curtsey of Sector Thirteen," Fig announced, stunning the other group thoroughly.
"What?" Sam, Will and Epps shouted.
Mikaela quickly broke in before Fig could continue. "They were in the 'basement'." Maggie and Glen gave her an odd look but Megatron gave her a small nod of acknowledgement.
"Really?" Sam asked surprised, glancing down at Spindle that was leaning almost practically out of his lap and into Frenzy's.
"Yeah, Thirteen must have just left them," Glen shrugged.
"I doubt Burgen left anything," Simmons frowned. "Especially something like-" he broke off and glanced at Rumble and the others. "Like the Terraformers," he finished. Rumble smirked.
"Something must have happened for them to be left behind," Will frowned. "Simmons' right. Burgen wouldn't leave his…test subjects behind. Not with how much he hates Cybertronions."
"Who knows? It's pretty destroyed down there. Couple of cave ins," Maggie explained.
"And why weren't they kept in the same place as Frenzy?" Epps frowned before turning to the mech in question. "Did you see them while Burgen had you?" Frenzy shook his head.
"Yet another question to add to the pile," Will sighed.
There was silence for a few moments before Sam leaned forward. "So who are the other Decepticons?" he asked eagerly. "It looks like 'Cade and Soundwave knew them but-"
"I should hope so," his mother laughed as she returned with plates. "They're his team."
"The Race Track Patrol?" Sam blinked in surprise before a wide grin graced his features. "That'll drive 'Hide to distraction."
Everyone laughed while Knight glanced about with a frown. "The what patrol?"

It was sometime after dinner and hours of story telling when there was a sudden a rather sharp knock at Simmons' door. Shocked, he froze, listening carefully. No one ever knocked at his door. 'Must be imagining it,' he thought as he reached into his bag. He couldn't wait until he didn't have to live from a suitcase anymore. 'Someone got the wrong room.'
The knock sounded again, more rapidly than before. Groaning, he tossed his toiletries towards his bed as he stalked towards it. "What?" he snapped as he swung the door open only to freeze at the sight of the two before him.
"We need to talk," Rumble announced.
Simmons glared at him. "About what?" he snapped. "And why me? Go bother the Rangers or the kids. Or if it's about the damn computers, go get Maggie."
He went to close the door when a hand snatched the edge and pushed it back open. Simmons nearly went flying backwards and would have if he didn't have such a good grip on the doorknob and was able to pull himself forward. Frenzy frowned as he pushed the door open all the way and they stepped into the room. "N-n-no. N-n-need inf-f-fo."
Simmons' eyes narrowed suspiciously. "About what?"
"Knight," Rumble stated flatly as he closed the door. "What do you know about him?"
He looked between the two surprised. "Knight? Not much. Complete ass according to the rumor mill."
"Rumor?" Rumble jumped on the word. "You've never met him?"
The human shook his head. "Nope, just heard about him. No one knows his real name of course, but he's well known as a stickler for the rules along with being a complete prick." Rumble and Frenzy shared a look and Simmons looked between the two, suspicions building within his mind. "He's not like that, is he?" The two shook their head and his eye's narrowed further. "I'll see if I can't get in contact with some of friends in Seven, ask around if anyone's met Knight before and better yet, has a picture of him."
"Sounds good," Rumble agreed, his version of a thanks and they departed. They made their way towards their own room before speaking again. "He has friends?"
"W-w-why n-n-not?" Frenzy chuckled before red optics darkened.
"I'm more concerned with Knight than with Simmons social life," Megatron growled. "We've got to tell Soundwave and Barricade about this. They have to convince the Autobots that Knight could possibly be a Thirteen spy."
"Possibly? More like a certainty at this point," Rumble huffed.
"Indeed," Megatron agreed. "So we'll have to double our watch on him as well as Sam and Will. As long as he doesn't realize we're on to him he won't bolt but I want to make sure he's not slinking off to report to Burgen when we're not watching."
Rumble groaned. "Can't we just shoot him?"
Megatron sighed regretfully. "The fallbacks of being the good guys." Rumble snorted at that and Megatron shrugged before the optics lightened.
"We-we-we'd b-b-best re-re-relieve R-R-Ravage."
"I want to know where in the truce did we agree to be slagging babysitters?"
"F-f-fine p-p-print," Frenzy snickered.
"Slag."
-To Be Continued
Join us Next Time For Chapter 184, Introductions All Around!

Author's Note: Trust me, the next chapter with the mechs will NOT be this calm! XD I thought about switching the first section to Sam's POV so we were with the humans all through the chapter but I liked 'Bee's better and was reluctant to change it. Hope it was okay!
And yeah, lets not look at the number of characters I have running around too closely! My character list is insane! If you're curious about the number of mechs though, there are about 33(34 w/Megatron) all running around the base including gremlins and sparklings… unless I missed someone... And that's just the base, NOT including those still with Starscream. :P
Also some people have stated that it's CybertroniAns as opposed to CybertroniOns. ^^a I apologize for this mistake as I assumed since it's CybertrOn it would be –ions as opposed to –ians. As it seemed not to bother anyone nor did anyone say anything until recently I don't suppose it's THAT big a deal. I apologize to those who are offended by the grammatical error but I am not going to go back and change it now. (plus my computer auto-corrects it to –ions automatically now.)
