A Day To Remember: The Plot To The Panhandle

::Chapter Twenty Five::

Watching with fear as her attacker started to come at her, Anna couldn't help but cringe against the wall of the cage. She felt her body freezing up as she realized that she was in a whole lot of trouble. She was once again being sexually attacked. This was really starting to get old.

And even as that thought hit her, Anna's face slowly hardened and she gritted her teeth. It really was starting to get old! It was really starting to piss her off! First the Reavers. Second, the Reavers. And now, a fucked up Cyber Games warrior who wasn't even insane like the Reavers but a prick looking to get some?

Oh, no. This was so not happening!

For the past month in a half now, everyone was constantly attacking her for something. Anna was getting fed up and tired of being afraid and cringing away from everyone who wanted to hurt her. She had thought she was over this when Stevens the Pretender had attacked her. But now, she was once again being attacked.

"Oh, fuck this!" Anna suddenly spat, startling the man to stop advancing on her. Even Hardcore Eddie, Fig and the others stopped pounding on the door just to look at her in surprise. But she ignored them as she glared right at Raymond, jabbing a finger at him while clenching her other fist. "You are not going to fuck me! No one is going to fuck me! I am so sick and tired of people wanting to fuck me! Just because I'm a girl, it doesn't mean I am weak or helpless! You want to fucking pick a fight with me, then you better be a better fighter than I am!"

Raymond snorted as he gave her a dark look before he advanced just a little closer. "Little whore, I've killed at least ten Pretenders in the Arena. I am one of the best fighters in this god damned place. There is no way you could take me on, bitch." He growled at her, yet looked smug.

Anna gave him a very bitter smile. "Oh yeah? For your information, my name is Annabelle Lennox. Call me a bitch one more time. I fucking dare you." She threatened.

Again, Raymond sneered at her as he folded his arms. "Bit..." He was saying.

And that's when Anna snarled angrily before she kicked her foot up very hard and nailed him in between the legs. A choked gasp escaped from the man as his hands dropped down to grip his balls before he fell heavily to his knees and onto the ground.

There was a snort of laughter and Anna looked up to see that Fig was doing everything he could to not to laugh. The others just looked shocked that she would have done that. But either way, she had just brought that huge man down to his knees without getting hurt. She held up her head high before walking around Raymond to the door. "All right. How the hell do I get out of this…..?" She was saying.

Suddenly, Raymond lashed out and grabbed her leg, yanking very hard.

Anna gasped as she fell to the ground, sliding across the rough floor. She had to throw her hands out to catch herself and not let her face smash down. She yelped as she felt Raymond roughly grab her hair and pull hard. She had to scream in alarm and pain as she began to thrash to break herself free.

"Fucking hell! Raymond! Let her go!" Fig snarled, no longer laughing.

Raymond completely ignored him as he yanked Anna across the ground towards him before he forced her to her back and to face him. "Fucking bitch!" He ended up choking, still quite in pain. He raised a fist and slammed it across her cheek.

Blinding pain and black spots danced across Anna's face as she screamed in pain, her head thrown to the side. She could already see the darkness starting to sneak up on her. But before anything else she could do, Raymond's fist slammed into her face again and she suddenly tasted blood. She ended up choking a little as blood slid down her throat, causing her to gag. She began lashing out with her fists trying to fight Raymond off of her.

But Raymond's strong hands grabbed her wrists and yanked her arms above her head, pinning them painfully to the ground. It seemed that he was using only one hand because his other began pulling at her pants line. "Let's how fucking feisty you are after I fuck you, bitch!" He snarled angrily.

Eyes flashing open and full of fear but also rage, Anna braced her entire body before she kicked one leg up as high and hard as she could. She brought it right up and around Raymond, wrapping it around his chest and shoved him back as hard as she could with her thighs. To her satisfaction, it worked. She managed to force Raymond to let her wrists go as he went flying backwards onto the ground under her leg.

As soon as she was freed, Anna quickly rolled over and scrambled away from him, even as he was quickly getting to his own feet, snarling at her. She glared right back at him before she lashed out her foot and smashed it across his face, sending him reeling away from her to the other side of the cage. She was on her feet as quickly as she could, balling up her fists as tight as she could. She stood in a rather defensive way, knowing this was not over.

Snarling in rage, Raymond was on his feet, spinning to glare at her. He started to charge her again, throwing a fist back and then sending it propelling towards her head.

For a moment, Anna couldn't figure out what she should do to get away from this asshole. She wasn't much of a fighter. How was she going to defeat him and protect herself from this jerk off?

But suddenly remembering what Starscream, and even her father had told her, Anna relaxed herself and allowed her body to react for her. She remembered them telling her to trust her instincts. Allow her body to move from the threat. She knew that this was probably the only way to survive this attack. She felt herself move before she could even think it. She whirled downward away from Raymond's swinging fist, which only soared inches away from her face. She spun quickly on her heels, remembering how her father and Epps had moved when they showed her how to fight. She spun completely around Raymond, now facing his back. She gritted her teeth before swinging her fist hard to the side and nailed him hard into the side.

It surprised Anna but Raymond had yelled in pain as she felt something crack under her knuckles. She couldn't be too sure, but she was under the impression that she had somehow cracked one of his ribs.

But before she could continue to thinking about it, Raymond was swinging his arm backward to hit her with his elbow. She barely had time to propel herself backwards to avoid getting her face smashed in with it. She felt her back collide hard against the bars behind her and it knocked some of the air out of her lungs. She barely gasped as she saw him coming at her again with a raised fist. She quickly rolled to the side as he tried to punch her.

However, it seemed to have been a feint because Raymond pulled back and lashed out with his other arm, catching her around the neck. He yanked her back towards his body before throwing both of them towards the wall and slamming her against it. Again, the air was knocked out of her lungs.

"You fucking bitch! I'll kill you! And then I'll fuck you!" The man snarled as he grabbed a fist full of her hair and yanked her head backwards. He ignored her scream of pain before he shoved it again against the wall.

Once again, Anna felt splitting pain as her forehead collided with the wall. She could almost feel her head split and blood starting to run down the side of her head. She tried to shove herself away from the wall and thrash herself free but Raymond was keeping her pinned. His arm only began to tighten around her throat, cutting off her air even as he released her hair and began grabbing at her pants line again. He roughly slid his hand down the front of her pants, trying to touch her. She couldn't help but scream as she wriggled against him.

Her screams blocked out the sounds of stomping feet and neither one seemed to have noticed that someone was approaching the cage. They didn't even hear Fig, Hardcore Eddie and the other men yelp in surprise as they scampered backwards from the cage.

Suddenly there was a loud sound of twisted metal before something roughly grabbed Raymond and yanked him upwards.

Anna was still a little tangled up in his arm that when he was suddenly yanked back, she was sent spinning across the wall before she hit the corner of the cage. She gasped as she looked up past blood to see what was happening. She was completely alarmed to see Raymond being ripped right out of the top of the cage before he was viciously thrown across the large room. She barely could see him sailing, speeding, through the air before hitting a wall. Blood splattered everywhere from the impact before Raymond fell to the ground in a lifeless slump. He had been thrown so hard that the impact against the wall had killed him instantly.

But nonetheless, Barricade was still snarling as he eyed the dead human warrior as if expecting him to get back up. His glaring eyes was blazing hot red as he continued to watch the dead human.

After a moment, he whipped his head around and glared down at Anna, who cringed under his glare. She ended up wincing from the pain in her split forehead. She was sure that she was next to get yanked upward and thrown against the wall.

Instead, Barricade looked her over, still growling before he grabbed the twisted lid of the cage and shoved it further open. "What the frag happened?" He snarled.

Anna flinched under his tone but winced at the pain in her head. It was throbbing badly now. She couldn't help but reach up and touch her aching head before slowly sliding to the ground, now feeling weakened after that little fight with Raymond. She now felt so exhausted after what she just went through.

Again!

Barricade growled in irritation but whipped his head around and glared down at the group of men still just standing there. "What the FRAG happened?" He snarled at them next.

All of the men did not cringe away but glared up at him before they glanced at the slumped Anna. They knew that it was best to get her help as much as possible. She had done pretty well for defending herself but she was still hurt. And even if that meant getting medical attention from a god damned Decepticon, so be it.

Fig cleared his throat before looking back up at Barricade. "We were starting to head for break and he grabbed her, yanking her into his cage. He was going to rape her but she fought him off. She did pretty good though." He simply said.

Still growling, Barricade flicked his glance back at Anna as she just sat on the ground, clutching her head. He was knew this wasn't good. He had been threatened by Megatron that if something happened, if someone had hurt the girl, it would be him who got his aft handed to him. "Fraggit." He swore before he reached up and tapped his forehead, placing a connection to his very own team medic. He didn't even wait for Groundhog to greet him before he began shouting. "Groundhog! Get your aft over to the Pits, right! Now! I need your help! That fragging human girl got herself beaten up! And don't let Megatron know! He's going to be pissed when he finds out!" He snarled before breaking the connection. He then reached into the cage, yet did not grab Anna like she thought he was going to do. He just held his hand open next to her. "Come on! Come with me!" He growled at her.

Anna just looked up at him, uneasily. "Wh-where…..?" She was asking.

"Just get in my fragging hand already! You're hurt and you need medical attention! If Megatron sees you like this, or finds out what just happened, it'll be my fragging head that gets ripped off!" Barricade growled at her.

Grimacing, Anna wasn't sure if she should just listen to him or just piss him off more. But she decided the former. She didn't want to make him madder. Even if it was to spite him. She would rather deal with him than Megatron any day. Barricade may have been really grumpy and quite the aftpipe, but she didn't seem to mind him so much. She was starting to wonder if she had a concussion or something.

But nonetheless, Anna slowly stood up and climbed into Barricade's hand, even though her brain was screaming at her not to do it. She sat in his palm, looking up at him nervously before she squeaked in surprise as he closed his fingers across her lap to hold her in place.

Still growling, Barricade shot Fig, Hardcore Eddie and the other men a look. "Get to break or get back into your cages!" He snarled before he turned and stormed off with her.

Sitting on a large metal table, Anna wasn't sure exactly how she felt to have to glaring Decepticons staring at her. One being her savior from Raymond, Barricade and the other being one Decepticon who nearly choked her to death only a week before, Groundhog. She was nervous to be seeing this Decepticon. Not after the ambush that he, Barricade and a few other Decepticons had pulled on her and her friends.

Either way, Groundhog was looking her over, studying her injuries that she had gotten from Raymond. He had scanned her a few times but he didn't say a word as he just looked her over.

After a moment, he gave a growling like sigh before shaking his head and stepping back. "She'll be fine. She has a minor concussion from her head injuries but it's not a threat. She will just need some rest and not move around so much. As for the rest of her injuries, they're not even close to being minor. She will be just fine." He reported.

Barricade still didn't look too happy. He was looking rather anxious, letting his glaring eyes flicker from Anna and then to Groundhog. "Do something about the bruises and the cuts, Groundhog." He told him.

Huffing, Groundhog gave him an irritated look. "I can't. Humans don't repair as fast as we can. They have to heal naturally. It will be at least a week before they will vanish." He remarked.

Of course, that was not what Barricade wanted to hear. He looked horrified to hear that it was going to be a week before Anna's injuries was gone. "Oh, fragging pits. Megatron is going to rip my head off." He almost whimpered.

Anna had to give him a double take to figure out if she just heard right. She had just heard him whimper. Not that she could blame him. Megatron was a really bad Decepticon to piss off. She didn't want to piss him off any more than she already had. But still, she felt like being bold right now. She didn't want to exactly tease Barricade about his fear of the Decepticon Leader. She actually just had a question for him. "Hey, Barricade. Why do you hate humans? What did we even do to you?" She asked him.

Growling at her, Barricade glared for a moment. "Why the frag are you talking to me like an equal?" He demanded.

"Because we are equals, aftpipe." Anna said sourly. "Just because you're bigger, stronger and all it doesn't mean that you're any better than humans are."

Snarling down at her, Barricade raised a fist to bat at her but Groundhog quickly caught his arm and held it away from the young human. He did not look any annoyed than his Commander did. In fact, he was snorting as if amused before he opened up a compartment in his arm and took out a small bottle of pills between his fingers. "Actually, you're right there." He said surprising both Anna and Barricade.

"What?" Both of them gasped.

Giving Barricade a roll of his burning eyes, Groundhog shook his head as he just held the pills out to Anna. "Oh, give it a rest, Barricade. Deep down, you know that it's true. We thought we were the superior beings because of our size and advanced intelligence. We've been here on Earth for a long time now, trying to take complete control over the humans. But they are still fighting and we are not breaking them. They are a lot stronger than we thought. Like it or not, humans are much more than they seem. And I don't know about you, but I'm getting tired of having to worry about them. Worrying about the DATAR rebels making attacks on our factories. I'm getting tired of fighting them." He grumped.

Barricade just narrowed one eye at him, as if trying to figure out just who this was. He surely didn't expect such words to come right out of Groundhog's mouth. "Groundhog, what the frag are you on? How much Energon have you consumed?" He asked almost sarcastically.

Again, Groundhog rolled his eyes while watching Anna slowly open the lid. "I haven't had Energon today. And not like its messing with my processor." He gave Barricade an irritated look again. "You can't possibly tell me you're starting to get tired of having to hunt down humans every single day. It is starting to get old. Maybe the Autobots actually have a point this time. Maybe humans are rather superior in their own ways. And maybe that's why Starscream likes this human girl. Maybe she's what is making him act so strange." He remarked.

Anna just looked between the Decepticons with alarm. She couldn't believe she was even hearing this. Another Decepticon was actually starting to think sensible thoughts.

There was a pause before Barricade huffed and folded his arms. He looked sharply away from Groundhog, not looking pleased but he wasn't looking like he was going to argue too much about it. "It's not like it's going to matter, Hog." He let his eyes flicker to Anna and for once, surprising her, he actually looked sympathetic. "She's going to die tomorrow." He growled.

"And why the hell do you care then?" Anna had to ask, feeling quite annoyed.

"Because Starscream may annoy the slag out of me, but I still consider him a friend. A close ally." Barricade growled at her, though he was keeping his feared temper at bay. "Groundhog has a fragging point. I've started seeing it myself. You fragging humans really are stronger than we thought. Otherwise, your kind would have stopped fighting a long time ago. They're not accepting their fates. You're not breaking like we wanted you to."

Very surprised, Anna slowly shook her head. She really couldn't believe this. Two Decepticons were starting to have second thoughts about humans. She could only wonder exactly how many Decepticons there were thinking the same way as these two. "Will you let me escape then?" She asked, surprised at herself for eve asking.

Even Barricade and Groundhog looked surprised to hear her ask that question. But they seemed more surprised at their selves for not snapping at her for even making such a suggestion. They actually glanced at one another before they looked back at her.

Of course, it would have been Barricade who shook his head. "Sorry, human girl." He remarked with a sigh. "As much as I wished I could pay that favor to Starscream, letting you go, I do NOT want to face Megatron's wrath. If you're going to try and escape, you better not even bother asking me about it. Like it or not, you're stuck here until tomorrow." He muttered.

Slowly, Anna nodded. She understood. "Can you do me a small favor? It will just be between us three." She said in a quiet voice. Barricade narrowed his burning eyes at her before he dipped his head once. "Tomorrow, when I have to enter the Cyber Game Arena, will you let those men, the ones who tried to help me, into the arena with me? I can't fight by myself." She whispered.

Again, Barricade snorted. "I don't know. You did pretty well kicking the aft of that human before I killed him. You're more skilled in combat than you give yourself credit. It seems that Starscream taught you well." He remarked.

For some reason, Anna felt a swell of pride within her. She wasn't sure why she was feeling proud of that comment. She didn't care for Starscream's pride. Or at least, that's what she had thought. She found herself actually caring about it. "I can fight. Starscream did teach me how to fight. But so did my…so did the DATAR members that helped me. I'm not…..I just…" She was saying, not being able to figure out what words she needed to use.

"Relax, fragging human. Don't give yourself a bigger aching processor than you already have." Barricade grunted, looking away. "I'll do it. But you better not tell Megatron that I'm the one who did it. Doesn't matter anyway. Cause after you're dead, Megatron is going to order the entire Decepticon army to start killing all humans. He's tired of this planet. We're going to destroy it and awaken his own master."

Anna stiffened. She wasn't sure what he was talking about. She wasn't aware of another master. She had never heard of Megatron having a master. "Master? Who…." She was asking.

"It doesn't fragging matter." Barricade interrupted. "You won't live long enough to know about Him. All humans are going to be destroyed before he's even awake. So it don't fragging matter. Now, I'll make that bargain with you. But don't you fragging tell Megatron about it. If you do, I swear to Primus, I will kill you myself and then suffer his wrath." He growled at her. "Now, let's hurry it up back to your cage. If you're going to talk those fragging human warriors into helping you fight, you better get started on your fragging plans. Not that it's going to matter. You will all die before the day is through tomorrow." He held out his hand for her.

Biting her lip, Anna nodded. She was definitely surprised by this sudden change but it was giving her some hope. She would definitely try and ask Fig, Hardcore Eddie, Ames, Tiny, Stackhouse, and Rakishi for help. She wondered if they would. But then again, they had said that they would die before the Decepticons hurt her. Not that she wanted them to die.

She just prayed that her father and the Autobots would find her before that ever happened.

Getting back to her cage and trying to rest, it wasn't long before there was a blaring alarm and Anna looked to see that all of the men on her row of cages were returning. Anna offered the men she somewhat befriended a faint smile as they stepped into their cages. But Hardcore Eddie didn't stop at his cage. Instead, he moved to the opening of hers and held up a bowl, even as Anna stiffened. He just shook her head and stepped into the cage, offering her the bow of food. It looked like some kind of black chili.

But either way, it had Anna's mouth watering. She took it gratefully smiling at him.

"How are you feeling? What did that bastard, Barricade do to you?" Fig asked, leaning against his own bars as Hardcore Eddie returned to his own cage.

Anna shook her head as she dipped her head back and ate some of the chili. Hardcore Eddie hadn't brought her any utensils so she had to eat it right out of the bowl. She was completely surprised that the chili was actually good and not gross looking like it looked. She chewed some of the beans before swallowing, then she looked at her new friends. "Actually, he didn't do anything to me. He had Groundhog look me over and then they gave me some pain killers. I have a little bit of a concussion but it's not too serious." She then took a deep breath.

This was it. It was time to ask the men for help.

"Um…..you're not going to believe this." Anna spoke, earning a few frowns from everyone. She bit her lip for a second before looking around and making sure no one else was listening. She didn't want her plans to get ruined by any eavesdroppers. She just wanted these men to know what she was up to. "I made a deal with Barricade and he's agreed to help me and us."

All of the men dropped their jaws in surprise, their eyes popping open wide.

"What? You actually made a deal with Barricade? What kind of deal?" Fig asked, his voice quite low. "How's it going to help you and us?"

Biting her lip, Anna dipped her head down a little before she looked at them. "I really need your help. I'm going to die tomorrow, supposedly. But…..Barricade has agreed to give me a chance for survival. Something that will piss off Megatron. He's going to let you guys into the arena with me. Will…..will you fight with me? Will you help me fight?" She asked weakly.

All of the men frowned seriously before they looked at each other.

For those few minutes, it was the most agonizing moments in Anna's life. She was so expecting them to become hard and tell her to go fuck herself. To tell her that they would never help her fight for her life. She wouldn't have blamed them. She was asking them to risk their lives for hers. She knew that wouldn't be fair to them. They had just met and she was already asking them to die with her. It hurt herself to think that…

"We're in." Fig suddenly spoke up.

Anna looked at him in surprise before looking around at everyone. She was more surprised when they one by one nodded in agreement, serious looks on their faces. It brought tears to her eyes as she felt her breath be taken out of her. "Are….are you sure? You might die….." She was saying.

"We said we're in, Anna." Hardcore Eddie said, thickly though his eyes were smiling at her. "We won't let you die alone. If we die, we all die fighting together."

Tears spilled down Anna's cheeks before she set the bowl down and offered Hardcore Eddie her hand. "Tha-thank you." She began to sob.

Smiling faintly, with everyone else, Hardcore Eddie reached into her cage and held her hand gently in his huge one. "It will be okay. Maybe if we're lucky, those Autobots of yours will show up on time." He said, though he didn't sound like he was too convinced.

But Anna knew that they would. She knew that her father, Epps, Sam, Maggie and everyone, and the Autobots would come for her. They would come and save her. At least, she hoped they would make it before she ended up dead. But at least she had some friends in this dark place. Friends who would stand at her side and help her fight.

That is…if Barricade decided to go with it.
