Let's Roll Out, Mate! [BOOK 1]

CHAPTER 47: THE MESSAGE

"When will he be back?" Miko asked Ratchet. Currently, Miko, Jack, Raf and Evelyn were waiting for Optimus to come back so they could all see the Star Sabre with their own eyes.

"ETA 5 minutes." Ratchet said. "Be patient, he's out on patrol and he doesn't need you pestering him."

"I might die of boredom in those 5 minutes." Miko said and placed her face in her hands with a pout.

"Still though, if the sword really is as powerful as you say, this could turn the tables in the war, right?" Jack asked.

"Yes, it could." Ratchet agreed.

"What exactly is the Star Sabre made of?" Raf asked.

Ratchet paused as he thought about it. Then he shrugged. "Who knows? My best guess is that it's a combination between science and magic."

"You believe in magic?" Evelyn asked.

"Depends." Ratchet said.

"Wait, if the Star Sabre could split mountains apart like butter, why didn't you lot use it back on Cybertron to end the war right then and there?" Evelyn pointed out.

The other three were about to ask the same thing and once again they all looked at the Autobot medic for an answer.

"That's because these relics are older than all of us here combined! They were used by the dawn of Primus and used by the Thirteen, as time passed they became nothing more than a legend." Ratchet said.

"And look what we have now." Evelyn said.

Ratchet nodded. "My best guess is that while these weapons are capable of doing much good, it can also cause much bad. You've seen the mass destruction they're capable of doing. Imagine what were to happen if the Decepticons got their hands on it!

"Alpha Trion didn't want to risk it so he sent them off world and well, they ended up here." He said.

"So you guys coming to Earth isn't such a bad thing after all." Raf said.

"In a way." Ratchet admitted.

They heard a truck horn and perked up. "Looks like the big guy's back!" Miko said leaning over the rail to see.

Optimus arrived back and transformed.

"Welcome back, Optimus." Evelyn greeted.

"Good to see you too, Eve." He greeted back. "And the rest of you." He greeted the others.

"Can we see it now?" Miko said pushing pass Evelyn.

"See what?" Optimus asked.

"The Star Sabre! The one you found yesterday and used to kick the con's tailpipe!" Miko said and mimed swinging a sword.

"Will you quit pestering him?! That relic is one of the most powerful Cybertronian weapons in existence! It is not a toy used to satisfy children's curiosity!" Ratchet snapped.

Miko ignored him and looked back at Optimus. She clasped her hands together and gave him her best puppy dog eyes. "Please? Just one peek? Pretty please?" she asked.

"I'm actually pretty tempted to see it too." Jack admitted.

"We won't go anywhere near it." Raf said.
