Hidden Spark on Earth (TFP)

Chapter 75

Saphira was a wreck of emotions. It has been five days since she and Megatron had made out, five days since she saw him impale his fingers into Ratchet's side, and five days since Saphira hasn't been able to calm down. Megatron tried talking with Saphira, but she refused to discuss it with him. She told him she needed time. Megatron was upset by this, though he knew he couldn't do anything. He could only wait, and figure out how he could reach Saphira's heart.

Saphira has also been too upset to reach out to Optimus. Mostly because she felt shame for what she has done, her heart felt very conflicted. Today she decided to reach out to him. Her emotions felt a little more stable and she needed to hear his voice. Sitting on her bed as she focused on the bond, taking deep breaths to keep herself calm as she reached out to Optimus. 'Optimus? I...I miss you...'

Saphira didn't know what else to start with, she felt so much shame at the moment. She waited for a few minutes before she heard him. 'I miss you too, Saphira.' She smiled when she heard his voice, and she wanted to let him feel her love for him through the bond. 'And don't worry, we will get you away from Megatron soon. We have been detecting a lot of decepticon activity worldwide, they appear to be preparing for something.'

Saphira was surprised to hear that. Though, she has not exactly spent a lot of time with the decepticons right now. 'I hope you do...I...what about Ratchet? Did you...'

'Yes, we were able to get to him in time. He was under the influence of synthetic energon.' Optimus paused for a moment. Saphira was surprised. Synthetic energon?! If they were able to make synthetic energon, they would never need to worry about energon ever again. 'Is it true, Saphira? Did Megatron...interface with you?'

Saphira grimaced a little, hearing the question and the fear in his voice. 'No, we haven't interfaced. What makes you think we have?'

'That makes my spark feel relieved to hear. When Ratchet said that he suspected Megatron had interfaced with you...non-consensually...I was ready to go through that mind and make one of the miners tell me where he was.' Saphira believed him. Optimus must have felt so hurt hearing that...though...Saphira noticed something strange. 'Now it seems Megatron's appear of the alignment of the planets that seems to be happening.'

Saphira was somewhat aware of the alignment, but she did not know when exactly that would happen. 'I suppose that is why they must be active around the world...hopefully this rising darkness can be stopped.'

Optimus didn't say anything at first, seemingly surprised hearing her speak of the prophecy. 'How do you know about the prophecy? I've never told you about it...did Megatron tell you?'

'Actually...the white energon did,' Saphira responded. 'The white energon somehow made me see visions, and the prophecy was one of them.'

'This white energon seems to be more trouble than it should be,' Optimus said bluntly. 'I'm not sure if you have noticed, but the white energon must have done something to our bond.' She was confused, not knowing what he meant by that. 'I can no longer sense your emotions. I noticed this after the shock of the white energon. I am glad we can still talk, but this white energon certainly is a mutation. Ratchet did discover that the white energy is consumable for humans, but we haven't tested that theory.'

Saphira was shocked. She definitely has not paid attention to the bond enough to notice she couldn't feel Optimus's emotions. Now that she knew, that upset her a lot. 'Hopefully bonding properly will mean we will feel each other's feelings again.'

'I believe it will. Did the white energon show you any other visions by any chance?' Saphira hesitated in responding to Optimus, where didn't want to talk about those visions she has had. 'You have, haven't you? And the visions are less than pleasant...I am sorry you have had to see these visions. You don't have to tell me about them now, you can tell me when we are together again.'
