Hidden Spark on Earth (TFP)

Chapter 54

Megatron continued attempting to attack Bee in anger and frustration, doing everything he could to lay a scratch on Bumblebee. It was something everyone was watching. The children had been at first in shock by it, but they were relieved that Bee was unharmed. After all, they did not really understand the cortical psychic patch link well, Ratchet would explain it some more later when there was time.

"Megatron can't touch Bee?" Raf asked curiously with a smile on his face.

"Because he's not a creation of Megatron's mind, Bumblebee is immune to Megatron's physical attacks," Ratchet explained calmly, glancing at the boy for a moment before looking back at the screen.

Megatron circled Bee as he tried to make sense of this. His optics were narrowed as he concentrated on the bot. "You are not wearing phase displacement armour," The decepticon said as he eliminated the different things that could be happening right now. "Your eyes track my movements, so you're not a hologram. And I do not believe in spirits. So, tell me scout, what are you?!"

"Megatron!" Both Megatron and Bee glance up to see another Optimus figment, and beside him was a Bulkhead and Bumblebee figment.

Saphira tensed a little when she saw the other two figments, it was as if Megatron's mind was stirring more now that Bee was in his mind. "Uh oh, special guest stars," Miko comments from above.

"This is not good." Ratchet grits his teeth a little, he hoped Bee would hurry as he glanced at Optimus's vitals again, seeing they were still on a downward spiral.

Bee was whirring in confusion, glancing at Megatron for a moment before running over to the figments to try and interact with them. He ran over to the Bumblebee figment and waved at it, even though Bee already knew not one of them could see Bee. Megatron watched closely before he roared loudly in anger and shot at all three figments, destroying them.

Bee flinched a little upon the decepticon's reaction, looking at him with worry. "You are real, they were not!" Megatron turned away from Bee to walk, deciding it was a good time to think. However, he paused rather suddenly and chuckled softly. "A cortical psychic patch, how unexpected."

Ratchet widened his optics nervously as he heard Megatron coming to the conclusion. "We've stirred Megatron from his oblivion, he's becoming self aware..."

Megatron looked around the world he was seeing, thinking deeply about what was happening. He definitely did not seem to realize how he came to be in Kaon like this. "If this is my sub-conscious..." He glanced at Bee for a second before snapping his head closer to Bee to yell at him. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING INSIDE MY HEAD!"

Saphira almost had a moment of laughter, the con's way of asking the question was sudden and unexpected, it actually nearly made her laugh. However, she kept herself contained and frowned as she realized what nearly happened.

What the frag? Did I almost just laugh at Megatron's comment? Thank Primus nobody else noticed that!

Saphira looked at Optimus, his optics were almost fully closed, his chest was still rising and falling gently as his intakes and exhales were still steady, despite the struggle of each one. She felt a little guilty, even though she didn't want to feel as though it was her fault for nearly laughing at Megatron. She hummed softly and glanced around for a moment to see everyone was focused on the screen. She shifted carefully and kissed Optimus's lips gently, the commander's optics opened slightly and he managed to kiss back weakly.

His whole face was nearly covered in the rust now, she felt how the surface felt gritty to her fingers, and the veins in his face were wide and distinct. She knew his protoform was likely covered like this. She smiled at him when he opened his optics, he felt happy to see her. He didn't know how much time had passed, but all he knew that he couldn't move anything without effort now. Her being there helped a lot.
