Running up that hill! (Optimus Prime Fanfic)

Chapter 9

3rd POV

Softspark was asleep in Optimus's berthroom. Due to the fact her T-cog was burned she lost her predacon form. They managed to fix it but instead she has a car form. 

She turned in her sleep and Optimus sighed. He was sitting in a chair beside her bed. Optimus sighed. Honestly, he didn't know how to deal with her. She's still in a lot of pain from the shot Mech gave her. She could barely walk currently. 

She then woke up. "Optimus?"

He turned to her. "Hey. You able to walk?" She sat up and reached for the cane Ratchet wielded for her. She stood up and winced as her left ped was hurting. "Come on." Optimus held out his arm and she took it. She walked with Optimus. 

They looked at the picture Miko took. "It is indeed an energon harvester -- A powerful tool created by the ancients to remove raw energon from any source." Optimus explained to the kids. "Greek Gods knew Autobots?" Rafael asked. "No. The ancients often used the art of a given are to conceal messages. A harvester's location hidden somewhere on this planet." Optimus said. 

"Uh, Optimus, if the harvester removes energon from anything, and you all have energon pumping inside of you. . ." Jack trailed off. "It would be a devastating weapon in Decepticon hands." Optimus said. "See? You were a genius to total that painting."

"Miko's not wrong. How can the 'Cons find the harvester without the fresco?" Arcee asked. "With high-speed internet." Softspark spoke as she pointed to Raf. "If you do an image search for 'Greek God' and 'Golden Orb.' This pops ups!" Raf said showing the image. 

"It's in a museum." 

"That the real deal?" Arcee asked the two. "Call Agent Fowler."

"You've reached Special Agent Fowler. I'm currently on an intensive training retreat and unavailable until Tuesday." Fowler's answering machine replied. "I hate talking to machines." Ratchet grumbled. "Without Agent Fowler's direct aid, we will have to confiscate the Harvester on our own." Optimus said. 

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. 'Confiscate'? As in Steal museum property?" Jack scoffed. "That sounds. . . Illegal." Raf said. "I do not wish to break human law, but once the Decepticons learn of the Harvester's location, they will not hesitate to obtain it by any means necessary." Optimus said. "We must act covertly."

Jack chuckled. "Okay, N-No offense, Optimus, but covertly and giant robots don't really go together." Jack said. "Museums are public. A-And they have guards and security cameras."

"No problem! We're small enough to sneak in. And we are not a government secret." Miko said. 

"Miko, I'm not sure that's wise." Softspark said. "But it may be our best option, Softspark. The longer we debate, the more time we give the Decepticons." Optimus said. 

Softspark was going to be out front with Optimus. ::Autobots, confirm position.:: Optimus said over the comm-unit. ::Westward Ho.:: Arcee confirmed. ::Eastside covered.:: Bee said. ::Southside covered.:: Bulkhead said. ::Maintain your guard. Jack, Miko, Rafael, Me and Softspark will have a clear view of you. Once you secure the Harvester, I will contact Ratchet to bridge you back to base.:: Optimus told the three. 

The two Autobots saw the three kids. Softspark flickered her lights to tell the kids to go. 

They took a picture of the statue and put it over the camera. Softspark heard a vehicle and saw a red car. She heard a whistle. "Sweet Rims. 24 guage? You're real heavy duty. Just like my friend here." 

Breakdown sped towards them and shot a missile. Softspark transformed and grabbed it. She used all her strength to stop it and soon the fire died. She looked at the kids and they looked at her. She frowned when she couldn't see Optimus nor Knockout. 

Suddenly her neck got tased. She felt weak and she dropped as she blacked out. 

Suddenly there was a sound of a jet and Skyquake shot a rocket at Breakdown which threw him at Knockout and it hit the building. The alarm went off. 

Softspark then started to wake up. She groaned. Skyquake turned. Knockout grabbed the prod and Optimus punched him away from her.

Optimus and Skyquake got over. "Alex?" Skyquake asked. "I'm fine." She said. She stood up with their help as Soundwave had the Harvester. He flew off. "MM. that would be game."

Knockout and Breakdown drove off. "The Cons have the Harvester!" Jack yelled. 

"And Security has Miko!"

"WHAT?! I'm going in after her!" Skyquake said. "Skyquake, Miko may be detained, but she is far from harm." 

Softspark had to stay behind due to the fact she was still injured rom the Decepticons attack. She then realized. "Starscream isn't Dumb!" She said. 

Softspark and Skyquake sneaked to the place Starscream was. Skyquake was trying to be quiet. Softspark then stepped on something. "Oh, Scrap!"

"Back for seconds?" Knockout asked. 

Both Decepticons charged at her. She looked at Skyquake He shrugged. She then ducked as Breakdown hit Knockout. Skyquake grabbed the prod and shoved it in Breakdown's neck as it got stuck. Skyquake turned right as the energon started to get taken from him. Softspark then grabbed her sword. She then punched Starscream and sliced the Harvester in half. I started to break and she threw it. It exploded. 

Softspark felt her spark having a spark attack. She then dropped. 

"She's a glutton for punishment." Knockout said. Suddenly there were blaster shots. "Fight?"

"Mm. Drive!"

They drove off. Starscream then transformed and flew off. Skyquake ran to Softspark.
