Hidden Spark on Earth (TFP)

Chapter 46

Saphira and the kids wait patiently for Optimus's greenlight to go to the museum. Saphira was feeling a little nervous about entering a museum at night, even if it was for an important reason. Saphira knew a lot of things could go wrong if they made a wrong move while retrieving the harvester. She just hoped the security guard at the museum preferred staying in his office over walking around the building. Though, she wasn't entirely sure of course.

"Ugh! Are they there yet?" Miko asked impatiently, sitting down on the sky jack and tapping her feet on the bottom of it. "I hope the decepticons aren't following them."

"They are approaching the destination now, Miko," Ratchet said as he watched the screen closely. "I am not picking up any decepticon either, they are in the clear for the time being. Be patient, Miko. This is a delicate mission that needs patience and care."

Miko knew that, but she wanted to get to it and she was only feeling impatient because she wanted to get the harvester. "I know...I just really don't want a lot of time wasted when trying to get this harvester."

"I feel exactly the same way, Miko," Saphira said sympathetically, smiling at the girl. "I want to get in and get it done too. But, once the autobots take position around the building, we can go in. Give them the chance to do it, Miko. They need to do it without being seen by humans too."

"Yeah, yeah..." Miko waved her hand casually and hugged her knees, waiting to hear the go ahead. "I guess this waiting is...well...you know. Suspense is the one thing that annoys me, but it also excites me at the same time. I'm feeling that way at the moment."

Saphira chuckled at her. "This ain't a horror movie though."

"I love horror movies!" The girl exclaimed. "I never get nightmares from them! It is a lot of fun to watch, scream and giggle when you realize you got scared by something stupid. And yes, the suspense in them does drive me crazy! Probably why I go and watch them again. Even ones I'm not supposed to."

"Really?" Raf looked at Miko with curious eyes. "You watch horror films that are not suitable for your age?" The girl nodded with a big smile on her face. He shakes his head in disbelief. "I...I would never be able to do that."

"I know, you like to stick with the rules," Saphira said with a smile. "And it isn't that bad, anyway. But...today will be exception for you, won't it?" The boy nodded nervously, he was still not wanting to go to the museum, but he understood that it was necessary. "At least it isn't going to be an everyday thing. Still...I wonder what other mysterious Cybertron relics are on this planet if a harvester is on Earth."

"I have wondered the very same thing, Saphira." Ratchet turned to face them with a thoughtful expression. He too was wondering what other secrets were on the planet that had a direct link to Cybertron. "The harvester will not be the only thing we discover, that I am sure of it. However, I am not sure what exactly could be here, there are many hundreds of relics that could have ended up on your world. Many that should never end up in the hands of decepticons."

Saphira couldn't help but wonder if there were any that were specific for Primes. That would be quite something. "It'll be kind of cool to uncover these relics, honestly. Especially if they become useful to you, and if there are any specifically for Optimus."

"There are many tools and weapons that were designed for Primes," Ratchet said as he turned to face the screens again. "Many of them were lost to the stars, and some were destroyed back on Cybertron. If we were able to find them, we would find comfort to know that only Optimus will be able to wield them. No decepticon will ever be able to taint them."

Saphira was happy to hear about that. Knowing that there were special items out there for just him just made Optimus seem so much more special to her. She thought about the gift Optimus had given her. The statue he made was in her bedroom as she had moved it in there as it was something to felt was a private thing for her. She wondered what gift she even could give back to Optimus. He wouldn't want her to give him something, but she wanted to. She didn't have the creative hands like he did to make something special, so she wouldn't even know where to begin with making something special for him.
