Hidden Spark on Earth (TFP)

Chapter 72

Jolting upright in a sense of panic, Saphira's eyes shot open, and she took deep breaths as her heart raced. She did not know what caused her to panic, but that is how she was feeling right now. And she wanted to run and hide. However, she looked around to find herself on a bed. She had multiple lines connected to her body, including an IV bag, heart monitor and oxygen tank. She felt the oxygen tubes deep in her nose and she was tempted to remove them.

She jumped when a hand suddenly pushed her back onto the bed. "Lay down, Saphira." She looked up and saw Knockout looking back at her. "You are not getting off for a while." She glanced around fearfully, briefly forgetting what happened and why she had been unonscious. Knockout glanced at her vitals and exhaled loudly. He shakes his head and grabs a vial, filling a syringe with the liquid. "Seems like the effects are still ongoing...this will keep you calm enough so we can talk to you."

Saphira stared at the syringe fearfully and tried to get up again, only for another hand to stop her. She turned her head to see Breakdown frowning at her. "Easy, we are not going to hurt you."

She tried to shake him off her body as Knockout lifted one of the lines connected to her body to inject the liquid. "Let me go! I'm not safe!"

"You are safe," Breakdown responded calmly, keeping his hand on Saphira's body to keep her from struggling. "Megatron brought you back after you touched white energon crystals." She stopped struggling upon hearing how she got there and frowned at him. "Don't you remember?"

Saphira thought for a moment and it took a moment. She remembers going to the island, she remembered swimming and being kissed by Megatron...but that was it. "I don't remember touching any white energon...I don't believe you." Saphira tried fighting the con again and Knockout placed his hand on her. Saphira glared before whimpering. "You can't keep me here!"

"How long until the calming agent kicks in?" Breakdown asked, looking at Knockout while keeping hold of Saphira's body.

"Should kick in any second now," Knockout responds before turning his com link on. "Megatron, she's awake. And I mean, she is fully awake this time." Saphira stopped struggling and stared at Knockout in surprise. "You have woken up at least ten times, Saphira. But you weren't fully awake, it was like it was talking to a toddler." She frowned, not believing him. "You've been here for a week, Saphira. The white energon caused an overload over your system. Your brain had been overloaded and your whole system has been out of whack."

Saphira listened to Knockout, she felt her heart slowing down and she no longer felt like she was in danger. "Is that all that happened?"

"Yes, we could go into details of everything, but I think you should not know. But...white energon is unlike any energon we have encountered before." Knockout lifted his hand away, satisfied that Saphira is no longer trying to get out of the bed. "We have not known how exactly energon would react to humans, though simply touching the evaporated form of it shouldn't have done what this energon has done."

Saphira glanced at Breakdown when he removed his hand and she looked at Knockout. "Is that why I woke in a panic?"

"Your body and mind has been panicking the entire week. We have had to restrain you several times, you actually caused damage to some vehicons by throwing equipment at them." Saphira was shocked to hear that and she felt guilty, even though she had no memory of that. "Of course, it wasn't you, you...it was the white energon causing your brain to react this way." Knockout glanced at Saphira and saw she looked guilty. "I would save the apology, we don't need it. Especially since you are finally recovering. It's taken me this long to figure out how to remove the white energon from your system."

She frowned. "It got into my system?"

"Yes, we still don't know how it did, but it managed to." Knockout looked to the door when it opened and Megatron walked in quickly. "Lord Megatron, Saphira is now calm enough to hold a conversation. She doesn't appear to have any memory of touching that crystal."
