A Spark's Life That Shines Book 1 (TFP Fanfiction) [Slow Updates/Haitus]

Lost memories Part 4

Meanwhile back in the base, Miko and Raf's Chess game was about to come to an end since Miko had lost a lot of her pawns. All that she had left were her Knight, Rook, Bishop and King and Queen and Raf only needed a few more moves to win by checkmate.

"I can't believe I'm losing at the most boring game in history." Miko groaned as she was trying to think of a strategy.

"I gotta say, Raf, I'm impressed. I didn't know you played Chess that well." Jack said as he kept the scoreboard with Bolty jolting a marker in his jaws.

"I learn a bit with my big sister." Raf said as he was checking which pawn to move.

"Was your sister an ex-chess champion?" Miko asked curiously but Raf just shook his head.

"Nah, she was once part of a Chess Club back when she went to school." Raf said.

"Personally I prefer a Rock Club." Miko said before she moved her Bishop to try and block one of Raf's pawns.

"There." Miko said only for Raf to get rid of Miko's Bishop and leave her with few options.

"Oh, tough decision here." Jack said with a snicker and caused Miko to let out a groan at Jack after that.

"Sorry." He quickly apologized.

"Let's see here." Miko mutters and starts thinking of a plan to win the game.

When she comes up with one, she moves her Rook, only to lose right after she moved it. The only pawn she had left was the Queen and she had only one chance to get rid of one of Raf's pawns. 

However, that would also give him a chance to move and block her king. Since that was the only choice she had, she was about to do it when suddenly the comm-links started ringing.

"What? Oh, it's just the comm-links." Miko asked in surprise before realizing it was the comm links.

"Optimus to base, do you read me?" It was Optimus and Raf used his laptop to answer.

"We hear you, Optimus. What's up?" Raf asked.

"Rafael, I need you to open a ground bridge now." Optimus said as his tone held urgency in it.

"I'm on it." Raf said and started to use the coordinates the others used to the Harbinger to open up the ground bridge.

"Sounds like something serious is going on." Miko said as she was having a feeling that something was about to happen.

"No kidding. I'm starting to get worried." Jack said as he gripped the railing.

Raf was done with uploading the coordinates before he activated the ground bridge so that Optimus and the others could return to base.

"Ground bridge activated and waiting for you and the others." Raf said and he knew that Optimus nodded.

"Understood." Optimus said.

After activating the ground bridge, Optimus and the others had returned with Emily and Fowler on Optimus' servo but Agent Fowler doesn't look too good. 

"Oh dear. I'm starting to regret this." Fowler groaned before stopping himself from throwing up.

"Optimus, maybe you should put us down before Fowler let's go of his stuff." Emily said before she looked up to him as he nodded.
