Chereads / A Spark's Life That Shines / Chapter 12 - Chapter 11: Sword of Unicron Part 1

Chapter 12 - Chapter 11: Sword of Unicron Part 1

It was a warm weekend and the kids with their Autobot friends were hanging out at the base. Bumblebee was watching Raf play with his laptop as Miko and Jack were playing video games. Arcee, Bulkhead and Optimus were on a mission that Ratchet told them that he pinpointed something in the Brazilian forest and it has the energy from a Cybertronian.

Emily was just watching them all with boredom as she was leaning against the railing. She was bored and really wanted to do something but she doesn't know what it is that she wants to do. She could go for a drive but she wasn't in the mood. She could beat Miko, Jack or Raf in video games.

She sighs before sitting down against the couch and takes out her sketchbook and colored pencils and pencil and eraser and starts to continue her drawing of Optimus. So much had happened and she almost forgot about her drawing. She was almost done as all she needed was to shade and darken a few spots on the drawing before the comm came on and it was Arcee.

"Arcee to base. Can anyone read me?" Arcee asked as they looked at the computer.

"Read you loud and clear, Arcee. What is it?" Ratchet asked as he started to type in their coordinates in case they needed help.

"We found something here and it won't come off. We're gonna need assistance for this." Arcee told them as she sent out a picture of the object.

Ratchet hummed as he typed away into the Cybertronian data and found the same picture. But the picture is what made him become shocked as he recognized it.

"By the Allspark. It's the sword of creation!"

Emily's head looked at the computer curiously and saw the picture before asking.

"Sword of Creation? What's that, Ratchet?" She asked curiously.

"The Sword of creation is said to be passed down to the descendants of those born or gifted by the Allspark. It can resize itself if the wielder wills it. The Allspark Sword has two. That sword is the Sword of the Light One. Sword of creation or the Sword of Primus. We thought that it was lost during the war but I think it was looking for it's next successor." Ratchet explained to them as they were in awe.

Emily continued to look at the sword before her eyes became dazed as voices in her head flashed through her mind.

"By the Allspark. The swords of creation and destruction, Swords of Primus and Unicron will create a new beginning to those who have a pure Spark. If the wielder has darkness and seeks destruction, the swords will not follow the will of the wielder."

She let out a gasp as she stumbled back but Bumblebee caught her as they looked at her in concern as Optimus was able to pull the sword from its pedestal when Ratchet explained to them what the sword is capable of. She sighed and panted heavily as Bumblebee beeped in concern and asked if she was okay.

"I-I'm okay, Bee. Just dazed..." She shook her head as the ground bridge lit up and the trio came back with the sword in Optimus' servos.

"So what are we supposed to do with it?" Miko asked curiously as she looked at the sword curiously.

"It's best if we keep it hidden where the Decepticons won't be able to get their hands on the sword." Optimus told them as he knew that Megatron will use the sword for evil intentions.

Emily looked at the sword again and let out a yelp of pain and held her head as Bumblebee panicked as Optimus groaned and put a hand on his chest plate as if something was constricting his Spark.

"O... Optimus..." Emily muttered before falling back and fainting as Optimus fell down on his knee as the pain started to subside.

Everyone was quiet as they were all in shock of what happened.

"What... happened?" Jack asked in concern and worry.

Arcee took Emily in her servo, who whimpered in discomfort as Bulkhead helped Optimus back up to his pedes as the leader leaned against him for support while Ratchet picked the sword up and scanned it.

"Just as I thought. Those born or gifted with the Allspark will encounter a series of pain that might make them lose unconsciousness or get weakened for quite some time. And it seems that Emily has a part of the Allspark within her." They look at Emily in concern as she rests in Arcee's servos with a look of discomfort.

The sword then glowed dimly before it floated over to Optimus and eased his pain by touching his servo with the tip before it floated over to Emily and touched her shoulder with it's hilt before it disappeared in a flash of light.

They were stunned by what just happened. As they looked at each other in confusion, Emily stirred and groaned as she sat up in a daze.

"W-What happened?" She asked them while her head was pounding painfully.

"Are you well, Emily?" Optimus walked over to Arcee as she let Emily slide down on his hand as she shook her head to get rid of her dizziness.

"I think so. Aside from the splitting headache, I'm good. But...what happened to the sword?" She looked up to him and the others in confusion as they shrugged.

"It seemed to have done something to both of you. Though, it's only the sword of creation, the Sword of Primus. It's counterpart is somewhere where it can stay hidden." Ratchet went to his computer and started to do some scans on which part of the world the other sword is at.

While Ratchet was busy searching for the sword, Emily held her optic in slight discomfort before her optic-eye became glazed as images started to appear in her mind. The last image was under water and seemed to go down somewhere dark and deep. And on a pedestal, the counterpart of the sword pulsed as if calling out to her and she blinked before looking at Ratchet.

"Ratchet, wait! I think I know where the other one is." She told him as they looked towards her in confusion and surprise.

"How?" Bulkhead was at a loss of words as she looked at them all.

"Just think. Which part of the world holds massive amounts of water and has a deep trench?" Ratchet felt his optics widened at this as he knew what she meant.

"You don't mean that..." Raf looks surprised by what she meant with those words.

She nodded as she knew exactly where the other sword was.

"Deep in the waters of the Pacific and in the deepest trench. The sword is located in... The Mariana Trench." She told them with a look in her eyes.
