Cover Me
By Black Dragon Queen
Author’s note: I bought a romance novel over the weekend. While that is not strange in and of itself, the whole reason I got it was. The reason I bought it is because the main hero's name is Lord Cade Byron! "CADE!" O__O I'm so excited to read it!
Chapter Seventy-Four: To the Rescue
The cover of nightfall worked wonders to help the four sneak past the perimeter guards and into the base… unfortunately it was a cloudy night and therefore no moon or stars to help them see as they snuck in from the very far corner in the back. “I hate this…” Epps muttered as he helped Mikaela drop from the top of the chain-linked fence.
“Well, at least they’re not expecting us,” Will hissed back. “The security is actually pretty lax.”
“I doubt that it’s us that they’re keeping an eye out for,” Mikaela muttered as she sougt refuge behind a rather large seven ton military truck. “They’re looking for intruders of a larger size.”
“She does have a point,” Sam chuckled as he peered around a stack of fuel barrels. “So where do we go from here boss?” he asked as he looked over at the rangers.
Epps and Will did a quick once over of the courtyard before slipping behind the truck with Mikaela, waiting momentarily for Sam to catch up with them. “All right, so far as I can see, there are the huge bay doors and only one small human entrance.”
“With a guard in front of it,” Epps sneered. “How are we supposed to get past him without raising the alarm?”
“I’m working on it…” Will hissed back at him. The two sat there.
“Well?” Epps drawled after a long pause.
“I said I was working on it,” Will snarled back at him.
Sam and Mikaela shared a look before they glanced back at the door that they needed to get past. “Hey! Look,” Sam whispered to the girl. Mikaela nodded and grabbed Sam’s arm, not even pausing as she gave Epps a quick smack on the back of his head as she passed with Sam in tow.
“What the-?” Epps whispered as he watched them quickly duck into the bluff’s shadow and slip through the now open door, right behind the now two guards who were having a rather nice, leisurely conversation. “Shift change!” Epps crowed quietly as he and Will followed the kids past the two still chatting away. They momentarily froze when they found themselves in a rather large, empty entranceway, but Will caught Sam gesturing out of the corner of his eye. He snagged Epps and the pair quickly ducked behind the large piece of machinery the kids were crouching behind.
“Do you two know how dangerous that was?” Will hissed at them.
“-What is it? What happened?-” Barricade’s hushed whisper came over the speaker in Sam’s watch. There was some muttering that the four couldn’t quite make out before ‘Cade’s voice came back over the radio. “-That’s why I’m asking!-”
Sam glanced at the others before he brought his wrist up closer to his face. “Sorry,” he whispered, unsure how well the microphone could pick up his hushed tones. “We had to move fast, but we’re in-gah!”
Will grasped Sam’s arm and pulled it closer to his own person as he spoke towards the disguised communicator. “This looks like it’s just the main receiving room. I don’t see any major equipment or anything scientific; it’s just supplies and what not.”
“-They probably have Frenzy deeper in the mountain for security,-” Barricade said angrily. There was more chatting over the airways when Barricade’s voice came back more agitated than before. “-No I am not giving you the pass code for the watch…-” a slight pause. “-I don’t care if you are the Autobot leader! I built the slagging thing.-”
Sam blinked before he glanced up at the others, a bit of a sheepish look on his face. “We have got to teach him how to share,” he mumbled.
Mikaela chuckled. “I doubt you can. He’s a ‘Con.”
“All right kiddies,” Will said in a low voice. “Playtime is over. We have to move before someone discovers us here.”
“Well I don’t see an elevator or anything resembling a staircase,” Epps returned as he looked around the entrance hanger. It was pretty dead there after dark; just a few technicians working on random pieces of equipment.
It was a blessing in Will’s opinion. “Alright, we have one thing going for us,” he said turning back to his “troops”. “We have the element of surprise.”
“From what I saw of Dr. Burgen, I doubt much surprises him,” Sam muttered under his breath.
“Well it’s all we have to go on right now, so it’s going to have to do,” Will frowned at him. “We’ll have to get down that hallway and see if we can’t find the cells.”
“Torture chambers is more like it,” Mikaela mumbled and Sam nodded his head enthusiastically.
“Stop whispering,” Will hissed. “No more talking.” The two looked at him balefully and Will glanced at Epps who was smirking at him. Will frowned. “Unless absolutely necessary,” he added and Epps small smile dropped. “Now let’s go, and watch for cameras.”
“Sir, yes sir!” Will turned around to glare at Epps who just smiled back at him. “What?”
“Move silent,” Will growled as he quickly broke cover only to dive behind yet another conveniently located piece of equipment just as fast.
“It’s like trying to play hopscotch and hide-n-seek all in one,” Mikaela muttered lowly so only Sam, and subsequently Barricade, could hear.
Sam only nodded as he followed the rangers behind a rather large table stacked with computers, the only object large enough to hide them while close enough to the large hallway. Will frowned as he looked down the dimly lit passage. There wasn’t that much light which, while it was a good thing, meant that they would also have to be twice as careful. “Okay, here’s the plan.”
“We have a plan?” Mikaela muttered.
“Shhh!”
Mikaela blinked at the three hisses aimed at her from the males before she held up her hands in apology. “Sorry, gosh...”
“Now stay together,” Will hissed as he quickly checked the few people that were in the room.
Sam was tense with all the build up so when Will actually moved, it took Sam a moment to actually comprehend the move and he scrambled to catch up to the older man. Mikaela was right behind him with Epps bringing up the rear as they practically plastered themselves against the wall and with a slow, yet steady pace, made their way down the hall. It was a rather large hall, which made sense if this place was really built with the mindset of housing Cybertronion prisoners and it took them a good five, agonizing minutes to finally reach the end of it.
They found themselves in what was basically a hub as they saw two large bay doors as well as the smaller, normal doors that surrounded them. “Slag it, which way now?” Will hissed as he glanced around.
Sam just shook his head when he his watch suddenly activated. “-Are you guys alright?-” Barricade asked with a hint of worry in his voice.
“We okay so far, but we hit a bit of a snag,” Sam announced.
“-What kind of snag?-” Barricade’s voice now switched over to one of thoughtfulness as there was some slight noise behind him.
“We’ve basically reached a crossroad,” he told them. “Any suggestions?”
There was a quiet din over the radio for a moment before Barricade’s voice came back over the radio wave. “-‘Bee says go… left?-” there was another moment of chatter before he came back. “-Yeah, left. He said when he was in the Seven base, it was a left turn.-”
Will glanced back at Sam over his shoulder. “Let’s just hope that Dr. Burgen kept to the Sector Seven base plans.”
Sam nodded as they fell into line once again and quickly darted towards the nearest human sized door on the left. It opened up into another large hallway that matched the hanger doors beside them and they quickly plastered themselves against the wall again. “I hope this doesn’t take us to Dr. Burgen’s office,” he whispered.
“I just hope this doesn’t take us to the guard’s barracks,” Epps muttered behind him.
Will glanced over his shoulder and managed to glare at them in the dim light, but neither one was really repentant. The tension was getting to Sam; he knew it was. The adrenalin was pumping through his veins and for some reason; tense situations always gave him the giggles. Trying to quell down his nervousness, Sam crept closer to Will as they slowly made their way, keeping an eye out for cameras or worse, guards.
Luck was with them though as they finally managed to reach the next set of doors somewhat safely and with a quick glance into the small room, Will yanked open the door and gestured for the others to proceed. Sam quickly followed the silent order and soon found himself in a small computer room. Will quickly shut the door behind him and glanced around. “Look for anything that may tell us where they have Frenzy.”
Sam nodded as he quickly moved over to the desk and started to look over the random piles of papers there. Unfortunately, it all looked like techno-nerd speak to him as he couldn’t make heads or tails of it. It looked like something out of his chemistry book. “What the heck is this stuff?” he muttered.
“-What’s going on now?-” Barricade’s voice came over the line and Sam frowned down at the watch.
“We’re just trying to regroup here. Looking for clues as to where they may have Frenzy.”
“Look for the security office too!” Epps announced from where he was flipping though some notebooks. “They may have him on twenty-four hour watch and we don’t need that right now.”
“I think Epps may have a point,” Will sighed as he glanced out the small window once more to check on the empty hallway. “We may have to take out the security room first.”
“Great…” Sam drawled. “Let’s make this even more difficult.”
“You’re the one who wanted to come along kid,” Epps chuckled.
“I know...” Sam muttered as he set down the papers and began looking around blankly, hoping that something would just jump out at him with a “hello! You’re looking for me!” look about it. So far, nothing seemed to stand out.
“So how are we supposed to break into the security office?” Mikaela asked as she set down a stack of papers. “I mean, it’s not like we can do much against them. Unless we’re allowed to shoot to kill.”
“No!” Will looked up horrified. “You are not going to shoot anyone! We’re just going to try and knock them out.”
“-Well if he’s going to take all the fun out of it…-” Barricade’s voice came out of the watch.
“Shhh,” Sam hissed. There was silence from Barricade, though Sam could hear him speaking to the Autobots with him.
“Any idea where to even begin looking for the security room?” Sam asked the room at large. There was silence from the two rangers and Sam sighed. “Right.”
“-I knew we should have just busted in!-” Sam jumped at Ironhide’s voice and glanced over at Will, shocked to see his body suddenly stiffen at the gunner’s voice.
“-Do you mind?-” Barricade was saying. “-Back off, will ya!-”
Sam blinked as something suddenly occurred to him. “You guys didn’t transform did you?” he gasped in stunned horror.
“-Well of course we did,-” Ironhide’s voice came again. “-That way we’re ready if you need back up.-”
Will groaned and Sam looked over at Epps puzzled, but the communications officer was giving his commander his own, scrutinizing stare. Sam quickly turned back to the watch. “Just stay out of sight! It’s bad enough that we don’t know what we’re doing.”
“We know what we’re doing,” Will growled loud enough to be picked up over the transmitter. “We just didn’t have any prior surveillance to work off of. We’re practically blind in here.”
“-That’s why I said- -”
“No Ironhide,” Will nearly yelled at Sam’s watch. “We can handle it.”
There were grumbles over the line before Barricade once more took over. “-We got it. We’ll let you get back to your search.-”
Sam nodded even though the mechs couldn’t see him at the moment before he stepped next to Mikaela. “What’s with Will and Ironhide?” he asked in a hushed tone. “I mean, they’ve been kind of on edge lately.”
“It’s been more than lately,” Mikaela whispered back. “You mother said something to me before we left about watching them during this trip. Something about making or breaking them.”
“-Really?-”
Mikaela frowned. “Don’t you know it’s rude to eavesdrop?” she said.
“-One word here, say it with me:-” Barricade chuckled. “-‘De-Cep-Ti-Con’.-”
Both Sam and Mikaela rolled their eyes at that one but didn’t say anything more as Will turned to face them. “Right, obviously there’s nothing here that will help us and we can’t stay here any longer, so follow my lead. Let’s move it people.”
Sam fought the tension that immediately welled within him at the captain’s tone as he fell into line behind Mikaela. “Is he always like this?” he whispered to Epps.
“You mean a hard ass?” Epps chuckled back. “Yeah, during missions.”
“Uh-huh,” Sam muttered. “And not during missions?”
Epps hesitated. “Well he seems to be going though something alright and has pretty much been lashing out at everyone and anyone if his attitude with ‘Hide is anything to go by, but he just won’t talk to me.”
“Hey! Focus!” Both turned back around, a bit guiltily at being caught gossiping, but Will had already turned his focus back to the hallway they were once again creeping down. “Are you sure ‘Bee said left?” Will asked over his shoulder.
Sam nodded quickly. “Yeah, he said they took him left.”
“Damn,” Will muttered as they reached what looked to be a dead end. “I wouldn’t put it past that Dr. Burgen to build the base backwards.”
“Possible,” Epps agreed.
“But why have a hallway that goes nowhere?” Mikaela demanded as she looked around the darkened hallway.
“Because they didn’t,” Sam suddenly whispered and yanked Mikaela back against him as he pointed to the floor. Everyone turned towards where Sam was pointing in complete surprise as they saw a small sliver of light shining across the tile. “What is that?”
Epps stepped forward and placed his ear against what appeared to be a wall before he suddenly jerked back and snagged the two teens and pulled them deeper into the shadows in the corner. Sam quickly shoved his free hand over the watch and hoped that the mechs didn’t panic at the sudden silence. Will had also instantly realized what was happening as he too ducked deeper into the darkness as a panel of the wall suddenly opened to reveal two rather large, burly guys towering over a small, petite man in casual wear.
Sam let out a small squeak and a hand quickly clamped over his mouth as the sound escaped. Sam didn’t mind that Epps had done that; actually he was a bit grateful because it kept him from screaming as he recognized all three of the men. Epps glanced down surprised as Sam pressed himself back against the older man, as if trying to somehow melt into him and just disappear completely. Sam felt a small prod on his back and he glanced up to see only a small glimpse of Epps’ eyes in the darkness. Sam jerked his head towards the group and pressed himself back even further as Epps dropped his hand away from Sam’s mouth. Epps seemed to understand and he turned to glare at the man, making a small gesture from Sam to the man and back again for Will.
Will instantly turned to also stare at the man as he realized that this had to be the infamous Dr. Burgen. The man was going over some sort of clipboard and didn’t even look up from the thing as he turned and started heading down the hall, his two bodyguards right behind him. The smaller man was mumbling something as he went and Sam shuddered as he heard the words “increasing the voltage” float back towards their position.
A hand caught his wrist and Sam looked up to find Mikaela’s worried eyes staring back at him. He gave a small nod that he was okay as he looked over to find Will had managed to keep the door from closing all the way. Sam gave the man a quick nod as held the door opened and quickly stepped through the frame… and right into hell.
Sam and Mikaela just froze as they stared at what was in front of them. It looked like something out of an old Frankenstein movie. There was electronics’ everywhere, wires covered the entire floor and the steady hum of the machines nearly deafened the poor humans. Sam clamped his hands over his ears as he just stared around at the mass chaos. Burgen and his men must have been wearing earplugs when they had exited the room. That was why they didn’t hear them!
“-SAM? WHAT THE SLAG IS GOING ON? WHAT IS THAT?-”
Sam cringed as he could barely head the ‘Cons shouting and he brought the watch almost right up to his mouth. “We’re in the lab!” he shouted. “We’re going to start looking!” Turning, he quickly steeped next to Will. “So where do we start?” he nearly shouted in the man’s ear.
“Just look everywhere!” Will cried back and the four instantly began looking around for anything that didn’t look normal.
It was Epps who spotted the small, battered and scorched radio in the corner of what was essentially a cage and he quickly made his way over to the area. “HEY! OVER HERE!”
It took some frantic waving, but Mikaela finally saw what it was that the man was pointing at. “You found him!” she shouted as she made her way next to him. She reached towards the gate of the cage when a hand suddenly grabbed her.
“Careful,” Epps warned her. “Those may be charged.”
“I don’t think so,” Will muttered as he looked around the area. The cage itself seemed untouched by any wires or such. He looked down at the small stereo with a frown before he turned to the teenagers. “Are you sure that’s him?” he asked. They both nodded and Will sighed. “Epps.”
“You got it!” Epps grinned as he whipped out some tiny wires and bent down by the lock. “Thank God it isn’t an electrical lock.”
“Probably afraid Frenzy would be able to override it or something,” Mikaela frowned.
“Got it!” Epps announced swinging the door open and stepping back to allow Sam entry into the cage. “You’re up.”
“He may be in Stasis Lock,” Sam announced as stepped into the cage and placed a hand tentatively against the bars. “Um… Frenzy?...” he spoke as quietly as he could over the machinery hum. “Decepticon Frenzy?”
“There!” Mikaela suddenly said. “The display flickered.”
Sam didn’t even turn to Mikaela as he focused his sole attention on the small ‘Con in the cage. “Frenzy, it’s me. Sam- uh, I mean Ladiesman217. You remember me, don’t you?”
“Uh, Sam? This may not be the best way of going about this…” Epps drawled as he glanced around the room, ensuring that Dr. Burgen just didn’t suddenly reappear once again.
Sam cringed as he realized that Epps was right and he turned back to the ‘Con. “Are you sure you saw him move?” he asked Mikaela, never taking his eyes off the mech.
“What?” she gasped. “What do you mean, ‘am I sure’? Of course I’m sure…”
“Well he’s not moving now,” Sam replied as he reached forward and gently placed a hand on the radio’s top. “I think he really is in recharge.”
“Sam, wait-” Will tried to protest but Sam had already gathered the small stereo into his arms.
“I think its okay,” Sam said, keeping an eye on the small crunched Cybertronion. He almost looked like Barricade did when he had shown up in the school parking lot all those months ago.
“Alright then,” Will said. “Let’s get the hell out of here.”
“With pleasure!” Epps announced as he quickly made his way to the door.
Making sure that Frenzy was held tightly against his chest, Sam quickly followed the two rangers out the door and back into the peace of the quiet hallway. “Now all we have to do is make sure we get out as quietly as we got in…” Will muttered.
They quickly started backtracking towards the main entrance when Sam suddenly felt a twitch in his hands. “Oh shit!” he gasped and the others turned just in time to see Sam quickly duck into the nearest room.
“What now?” Will groaned as he quickly followed the boy into the antechamber. “What happened?” he demanded.
“I think-”
But anything that Sam was going to say was abruptly cut off as the small radio in his hands began trembling violently and suddenly Sam had to drop the battered mech as he began transforming. “Damn it,” Will growled, his hand immediately going to his side arm. “I think all that equipment was forcing him to stay in alt mode!”
Sam could only nod as the small, silver creature suddenly stood before them. One of Frenzy’s optics almost seemed damaged beyond repair while his left arm and right leg were bent at rather impossible angles. Sam could see the wires sticking out from random spots all over Frenzy’s poor person and the liquid pink fluid of Energon was slowly leaking down the side of his face, running right over his only lit optic. “Um, Will… we might want to step back.”
“Human!”
Both Sam and Will jumped at the deep voice that came from Frenzy before there was a sudden squealing noise and a multitude of clicks, screeches and whirls began emanating from the mech. It didn’t sound like anything Cybertronion that Sam had ever heard and he knew more than Will. He looked over at the ranger when the small, silver figure suddenly lunged, slamming Sam to the ground with his one good arm.
“SAM!” Will cried out as he made to lunge at the small figure but the sudden whirl of saw blades had him slowing down and trying to re-think his strategy.
Frenzy looked back down at Sam. “LadIESmaN217,” the mech garbled in a whining tone. “You took them! You KILED them!”
“NO!” Sam shouted and he threw up his arms instinctively.
“-FRENZY!STAND DOWN!-”
The reaction was instantiations. The weight on top of him was suddenly gone as Frenzy practically leapt off of him. Sam just stared at the ceiling for a moment before Epps was suddenly at his side, helping him to sit up as Mikaela stood in the doorway, occasionally looking down the hall for any guards that might come see what the fuss was about. Sam blinked a couple of times before he quickly turned back to where Frenzy was.
Will was across the room, his gun drawn but it seemed he didn’t need it. Frenzy had managed to squish himself into a corner between the wall and a small desk and just stared at Sam with that one, shining red orb. “’Ca-Ca-Cade?” the small mech squeaked.
“-Yes Frenzy, we’re here to rescue you.-”
Sam held his arm out so Barricade could be heard and yelped when sharp, claw-like fingers nearly yanked the watch off his wrist. Frenzy didn’t seem to care however as he just stared down at the watch like it was a long lost loved one. “Res-rescuuUUEee?” Frenzy repeated in the staccato voice that Barricade had missed so much.
“-Yes Frenzy, rescue. AndLadiesman217 now works for me.-” Sam could hear Bumblebee’s distinct voice suddenly over the radio, though whatever it was he was shouting was in Cybertronion. Barricade’s voice snarled back, “-Just go with it!-”
Frenzy, meanwhile was just staring at Sam, a thoughtful look on his battered face. “-HuMAN… yours?-”
Sam stared at the small ‘Con at the words he had spoken in English before his gaze whipped to the watch when he heard Barricade reply. “-Yes, human mine,-” Barricade told him. “-Now follow him and they’ll help you get out of there.-”
“NO!!!” Everyone jumped in surprise at the shout in English as Frenzy rapidly shook his head. “NO!” he repeated. “Have to help-help-help! Mate!” he shouted before he suddenly lunged forward.
Will squawked as he nearly fell backwards and Mikaela just stepped out of the way as Frenzy pushed past her. Amazingly, Frenzy stopped and turned back to stare at the four humans. “Hurry Ladiesman217! HURRY!” he said, gesturing frantically.
Sam was on his feet and following the smaller mech as he suddenly found himself in a small cat and mouse game with the mech as they rounded corners and ducked into darkened hallways. “What is he up to?” Epps demanded in a hiss.
“He better not get us caught!” Will replied as they rounded another corner only to skid to a halt as they found Frenzy standing outside a doorway.
“Mas-s-ster!” Frenzy stuttered. “Mate!” and he ran thought the door.
Sam stared at the small mech before he glanced back at his companions. Epps shrugged and cocked his gun, Will’s already primed and they walked through the door. “I guess we go in…” Sam muttered as followed. It took him a second to find Frenzy and when he did he just stared.
Frenzy was at the bars of yet another cage, this one a bit larger, like you would find in a zoo, and was hugging yet another mech that was just his size. Perhaps a bit taller and bulkier than him, but most definitely a mech. Did Dr. Burgen manage to somehow clone Frenzy?
Mikaela suddenly elbowed him and Sam took note of what he had missed before. There was a mechanical cat sitting at the edge of the bars along with two more shaped like huge vultures, all chirping happily at Frenzy while the one humanoid-like mech was practically bawling. “I didn’t know they could cry…” Sam mumbled more to himself than anyone else.
Frenzy suddenly turned and gestured to the four mechs. “Team!” he said again in garbled English before he turned and pointed at the dark side of the room. “Master!”
Sam almost didn’t want to turn, but he did; and gasped as he found a full sized Decepticon Warrior staring right down at him with deep, red optics. Sam swallowed.
“Well I’ll be damned!” All the humans jumped as Epps began laughing hysterically. “It looks like ‘Hide gonna get to go gung-ho after all!”
