Time seemed to have frozen in that exact point when the gentle but chilling whisper of the Allspark with the sense of all its power flowed through the silent atmosphere as everyone appeared to be afraid or shocked at Skylar's possessed, floating and glowing blue body in the air. Not even a breath could be heard; and the Allspark smirked a little before setting all focus on the great Prime before it.
Optimus's clear blue optics widened in shock when Skylar spoke with a voice which was not hers, and stared at him with eyes which were not the caring and bright blue eyes he normally saw but electric blue filled eyeballs with the sense of power and no emotion. The Allspark's glow flickered for a moment and before Optimus could move, thin blue wisps of energy came from Skylar's body, wrapping themselves around his servos and faceplates as he looked up at the unknown power with an almost afraid look in his optics. It was his responsibility to protect Sam's daughter and he even considered hitting the floating body for a moment but then realised that, even if Skylar was unconscious with the overgrown power of the Allspark energy inside of her, she was still there and still very fragile.
The Allspark energy inside felt almost surprised when it felt the human girl's heart beat for a brief moment. It narrowed its eyes in concentration and wondered at the memories that were left in the girl's mind. Flashes of the two adults known to it as her parents flew past, smiles brightening their faces and laughter drifting through the memory as it passed, and the Allspark focused on the most recent memory that was left behind: Optimus Prime. It watched the scene of the Prime and the girl's meeting, and discovered how Optimus bonded with her through it's own energy to protect her.
To protect her from all the evil.
To protect her fragile life from all the dangers.
It was touched. That such a figure like Optimus Prime, leader or the Autobots would devote his entire Spark in sake for the safety of this tiny and fragile human being. It had grown inside this body since her birth, the knowledge of the Allspark passed from the human boy to his child. It's energy had grown over the years, protecting the human child from such petite danger, and gave her the abilities to do things which many others could not.
That is why this child is in danger, because of the knowledge she holds within her is receiving the unwanted attention from those that want its power for evil and destruction.
There was a decision to be made.
Optimus froze at the Allspark's wisps of energy curling around his entire body. He looked up at those distinctive blue eyes, and was surprised to then hear the Allspark speak again, this time with a tone which was not recognised.
"The knowledge inside this child has grown to a reach where others can use its power." The powerful voice echoed through the silence and filled the room with a sorrow atmosphere. Optimus cleared his vocals and with a clear and toned voice, he replied with a concerned expression.
"The Decepticons want to use her abilities to bring Cybetron from a darkness of space and turn it into an evil empire- on this planet . In order to prevent that situation from happening, the great Matrix of Leadership has informed me that there is a decision that could change Skylar's life forever." Optimus looked down at Sam, who gave a puzzled expression in answer to his reply to the Allspark. Then Ratchet spoke out, his tone as grave as ever.
"The analysis display the energy could take over her entire body systems.. if the Decepticons get hold of the energy inside her, she may not survive." And with that last word, the dreaded silence grew upon the room once again. The Allspark's blue glow flickered before closing it's eyes and spoke again.
"The power inside of her must be destroyed if you decide to, and she will live freely but with faint knowledge and abilities that are unusual to others. Or if you decide to keep me contained in her body, the energy will override her mind and she would die and I would take possession of her body permanently." Mikeala whimpered softly at the Allspark's words, her head in her hands and a distressed look crept into Sam's eyes as the realization of the situation of his daughter had dawned upon him. He looked up at Optimus with a pleading look on his face, and Optimus sighed deeply.
The energy of the Allspark lost would destroy their races' chance of ever living on Cybetron again, and the war between the Autobots and the sly Decepticons would worsen. But inside his Spark, Optimus knew that this human girl didn't just hold the key to their race, but is the key herself. Her soul and thoughts would lead to their home, and maybe then the war would be over.
But too many lives have already been lost on the planet. And the risk to those who were not affected had become too great, 'the humans have rights.' Optimus's mind spoke, and then he knew what the decision was to be. He opened his optics and faced the possessed girl, and finally spoke with a bold tone which cut across the thick silent atmosphere within the room.
"Great Allspark, may I request you to leave the human girl's body andbe destroyed." Whispers among the present Autobots suddenly up rose, and the Allspark appeared to raise an eyebrow, despite having no emotion.
This leader made a foolish decision on part of having had the opportunity to save his race, but made a decision which concerned the lives of others less fortunate than themselves.
The Allsparks' glowing blue eyes closed and nodded at Optimus's request and decision, and with a silence growing even more tense, the ground around everybody in the room and Optimus himself began to shake slightly as Skylar's unconscious body began to glow an incredible white as the light got brighter until it blinded Optimus, and he stepped back along with Mikeala, Samuel and Ratchet. Object on selves fell to the ground as the earth continued to shake and quiver. Optimus fought to see through the immense light coming from the girl's body, and suddenly was forced back slightly by the pressure which was released as a white-blue glow flew upwards into the air, and then disappeared into the atmosphere.
He turned his look from the now dull space of the room's air space to the empty and unconscious body of Samuel's offspring. She floated in the air for a few seconds before falling suddenly to the ground, her hair flying past her unawakened face.
A small scream was given out by Mikeala, and Sam cursed loudly as they both watched their falling, unconscious daughter descending through air. Optimus started to run towards the falling girl, his hands and Spark set out to catch hold of her and bring her to safety from the drama that she had just gone through. His blue optics gazed down on the almost lifeless body of the young human resting within his giant metal palm as minutes passed by before he moved his hand to the ground to rejoin her with her parents. Sam and Mikeala ran over and lifted Skylar off his hand as they both hugged her tightly, tears falling down Samuel's cheeks as he looked up at Optimus with relief in his eyes.
"Thank…thank you, Optimus." He spoke, and Optimus nodded in response as he stood up slowly.
"She is my charge, as much as she is your daughter Sam. I have vowed through my Spark to protect her from what dangers lay in front."
Skylar.
I stirred a little at the sudden word that seemed to wake up my mind, and screwed up my eyes at the dim light that surrounded me. Memories started to flow though me like a video, people's faces and voices appeared but somewhat brighter, clearer than ever before. I knew that these were my memories, but something was new…different, but I couldn't put my finger on it. I felt my face frowned at the concentration but was interrupted as I heard that word again cut through my thoughts.
Skylar? Can you hear me?
This word was differently spoken this time. It felt, like a name, and that question after it..was it directed to me? Is my name..Skylar? I felt my senses adjust to what surroundings I was in. The smell? It smelt like a familiar place…and the sounds, why do they ring a bell in my head?
I tried to sit up on what must have been a bed I was laying on, trying to regain the control of my arms as that name cut though me again like wildfire.
Skylar!
I opened my eyes and was greeted with a white light that blinded me instantly before my eyesight adjusted, and I found myself looking at a man's face, filled with worry and shock and somehow relief as I blinked back at him. His face was so familiar…those eyes…his voice…could it be?
My voice came out as dry and stale as I tried to speak, "…Dad?" and saw his entire face light up with relief and happiness as I was instantly embraced in a hug. The smell of him brought back memories of what appeared to be my childhood, family. I smiled and closed my eyes as I hugged the man back.
They found me.
