Hidden Spark on Earth (TFP)

Chapter 82

When Megatron finally walked through, he was walking slowly, and each step was menacing. Saphira felt her cheeks heat up slightly when she saw Megatron. No matter what he does, he was still an attractive mech. Saphira shakes her head to shake the feeling, though it was hard to. Her only issue with Megatron's appearance was his optics. They were not red, they were still purple. And that was not a sign she liked at all.

Megatron glanced around the lobby as the bots arm themselves, preparing for anything the con may do. However, he was not caring for them. His optics were searching for Saphira. When he spotted her, he smiled at her. "Ah! It is lovely to see you again, Saphira," He said in a gentle tone. "I hope you have enjoyed you time here with the bots."

Saphira glared down at Megatron. "You're here for a job, Megatron. Nothing more."

Megatron's optics twitch slightly at her response, seemingly hurt by her cold welcome. His gaze turned away when Raf suddenly ran towards him with a glare in his face. Saphira was surprised that he would do that, even after he was told to hide. "Ah! You're looking much better than the last time we met, little one. Humans, resilient." He seemed a little impressed by the boy's recovery, but he was mocking the child at the same time. Raf was pulled away by June, and Megatron's optics linger on Jack. "And you, I never forget a face. Even that of a human."

Jack paused and turned to glare up at Megatron before he kept walking away. Saphira did not know that Jack and Megatron had seen each other in the very mine that Megatron had brought down upon them. That was why she didn't fully understand, but she didn't ask any questions either.

"You double-cross anyone, mine is the face you'll never forget!" Miko shouted suddenly at the mech, making Saphira face palm at the girl's sudden bravery. "NEVER!" Fowler pulled the girl away while Megatron simply smirked in amusement.

Saphira just shook her head. It was embarrassing that Miko would even do that. That girl was really something else. She did wonder how Miko never got herself into serious trouble for it, even though she has done her part to help the autobots when necessary.

Optimus ignored what the girl had said and spoke to Ratchet. "Ratchet, obtain the destination coordinates from our guest." He narrowed his optics as Megatron walked around him towards the medic. "And make sure it is precise."

Megatron did not respond to Optimus as he stood by the ground bridge controls, instructing Ratchet of the coordinates with the other three bots holding their weapons at him to ensure he couldn't do anything. Saphira watched with worry before glancing at Optimus, he was walking away from the autobots and spoke to Jack. She didn't hear what he was saying, but she was still curious about what he was saying. Optimus dropped to one knee and appeared to give something to Jack. She couldn't quite see, Optimus's body was in the way. However, the feelings she was feeling from Optimus were sadness, and resolve, those two feelings did not feel good together in her mind.

Optimus turned away from Jack and walked towards the bridge. "Megatron has given me the coordinates, Optimus," Ratchet said, placing his hand on the lever. "I will activate it now."

"Before you do, there is a question that is still on my mind," Megatron said, raising his hand to stop the medic. The three bots tense and narrow their optics, Optimus narrowed his. Megatron looked up at Saphira with curiosity. "Why does Unicron hint that you are the progeny of Primus?"

Saphira frowned at Megatron at his question. "Why do you want to know?"

"Because I have a feeling it will change things," Megatron responded confidently. "Especially with how we understand Primus's will."

Saphira was silent as she listened to his reasoning, not really sure if what he said was to be true. She sighed deeply and walked towards the stairs to walk down slowly. "Because..." She swallowed nervously as she began. "Primus...he is the reason I exist..."
