Love Struck Spark: Chapter 5
#5 of Love Struck Spark
Authors POV
A blood chilling scream filled the air of the base. Optimus bolted upright and jumped out of bed. He ran to where the scream had originate. Sam was laying on the bathroom floor in his boxers. From his appearance it was apparent why he was screaming. Sam was pale almost gray and had very thin silver lines running all over his body, and there were distinct Cybertronian markings running up his arms. Optimus knelt by his mate, he was filled both with anger and worry. He held Sam close and rocked him back and fourth.
"O-Opt-timus wha what happened to me" Sam ask frightened beyond belief. Optimus stayed quiet for a minute and sighed.
"Sam...we need to get you to Ratchet...then everything will be explained" Optimus said and Sam numbly nodded. Optimus pulled the boy to his chest and carefully walked him to the med bay. Ratchet was already there doing some work. He froze when he saw Sam and groaned.
"I thought we had more time..." Optimus mumbled and sat his mate on the berth. Ratchet walked over quickly and scanned the teen who was stunned silent. He then hooked some of the devices up to Sam and pulled Optimus out of Sam's hearing range.
"It wasn't supposed to happen this fast Optimus....what happened?" Ratchet asked keeping a optic on Sam. "It...visited me last night...I think it did something to speed up the process.." Optimus said and growled. "Ratchet you have to help him...please"
"Optimus...I..I have a idea what to do but I have to finish it...it will take two days" Ratchet said sadly and Optimus balled his fists up again.
"I can't lose him Ratchet..." Optimus said and Ratchet nodded. "I promise you that you won't" The medic said and smiled at the Prime.
"O-Optimus?" Sam asked quietly. Optimus and Ratchet turned back to face Sam and walked over to him.
"Yes my love?" Optimus asked and rubbed Sam's hand.
"Wh-what is happening to me?" He asked and Ratchet sighed.
"Sam...do you know the laws of energy?" he asked and Sam nodded. "Do you know the law that states energy can neither be created nor destroyed?" Ratchet asked and Sam nodded once again.
"Sam...in mission city...when you pushed the all spark into Megatrons chest...something happened" Ratchet started and Sam's eyes got very large.
"What?" Sam asked his heart beating rapidly.
"The allspark in a physical since was destroyed...but the energy contained within it could not be...it is true it went into Megatron but...it also went into you...in fact it cycled between you both" Ratchet said and Sam felt like his heart was about to explode.
"What does that mean?" Sam asked trying to calm himself.
"It means...that since Megatron died...you inherited all the energy and are the sole possessor of it...but it wasn't meant to be contained in a organic life form....so...it.." Ratchet tried to explain.
"It has to change you Sam...it wants to make you into a Cybertronian...so it can be protected..." Optimus said sadly and laid his head next to his mate.
"I...it...wha..I don't want to be Cybertronian!" Sam yelled panicking. "We know Sam...we have been trying to create a method of removing it from you without injuring either one of you...but it still isn't complete...if I work hard it might be in two days" Ratchet said and Sam nodded. "GET IT OUT OF ME!!" Sam pleaded and Optimus activated his holoform and held Sam as he began to cry. "Sam...we will do everything possible. I promise...we will not lose you" Optimus whispered into the boys ear. "Sam.." Ratchet said and the teen looked up at the medic. "I want you to rest for right now...and you are not to leave this Medical Bay, understand?" Ratchet asked and Sam nodded, he buried his face into Optimus's chest and closed his eyes tightly just wanted to sleep and get away from this.
Sam awoke later in the med bay, he was alone and hating it. He curled in on himself and wiped some tears away from his eyes.
"Hello Samuel" a deep dark voice said with a hint of a British accent. Sam jolted and looked over but didn't see anyone. "Wh-who are you?" Sam asked and the voice chuckled. "You don't remember me? That hurts Samuel, I thought of all the people that can see and hear me. You would remember me the most." The voice said and came closer to Sam. "Sorry...I really don't know who you are" Sam said and the voice growled. "I am not a who but a what, Samuel" The voice said with anger. "...You...you are the allspark...aren't you" Sam said feeling scared again. "Ah so you do remember me? Call me Dark spark by the way" The voice said gently. "I remember you as a cube" Sam said and the voice growled and Sam winced as he felt a pain in his head. "YOU THINK I LIKE BEING LIKE THIS?? I was content being the cube! But you had to go and mess it all up!" The voice roared and calmed, Sam relaxed as the pain went away. "W-What did I do?" Sam asked. "You...caused this" The spark said and came forward, Sam looked up and went pale as he saw the being in front of him. It was a being about his height, but with metal skin, blood red eyes and a blast mark on the side of its mangled face. "I..I did that?" Sam asked feeling slightly sick. "Yes...because of you...I was morphed into a sick bizarre combination of you and that psycho mech Megatron....but heh in a few hours you will make it up" the being said with a dark smile. "Wh-what do you mean?" Sam asked now terrified. "I am taking your body Sam...It will house what is left of my energy...it will override this" it said motioning to the metallic skin. "B-But I th-thought you were supposed to be a good energy...not a body snatcher..." Sam said trying to avoid looking at the being. "heh that all changed once I entered Megatron...I was infected because of you Sam" it said and growled. "You are the downfall of me, Megatron, yourself and now...Optimus as well..." it hissed. "W-wait...I...what about Ratchets idea...removing you from me!" Sam tried. "And what? Just let me roam free, slowly dissipating into nothing? I don't think so Sam...No I want you, mind, body and soul" The being said and faded away. Sam laid back completely terrified and began to sob. How could he do this...why didn't he think of something else that day in Mission city. He was going to basically die now because of his decisions. But that was not the part that hurt the most...it was the fact that he was going to hurt his true love Optimus and his best friend Bumblebee...Sam growled at himself. There had to be something he could do...some way to get Dark Spark out of him and transfer it somehow...he had to. He had gone through to much to just be replaced by that. Sam sighed and relaxed and slowly fell asleep thinking of anyway to prevent this...
