Chapter 7

The next day Sam was still lying there in the medical bay with Red Alert trying to make her better and bumblebee and Wing Saber overlooking her. Optimus occasionally came in to check up on Samantha but he looked more worried than any of them so he never stuck around for very long. Then Red Alert went off to restock himself with energon while everyone just gathered around Sam all at once again and watched her lay there in complete silence.

"Hey guys is Sam supposed to be giving off sparks" asked hot shot

He noticed a couple of electrical sparks and tiny lightning bolts come off of Sam. Everyone saw what hot shot was talking about there more and more each time a second past. Scattershot then looked down at Samantha's shoulder bag that was lying next to her.

"I don't know about any of you guys but I'm not getting any energy signature coming from Sam's bag"

"Doesn't that mean that she lost the all spark, the decepticons must have it" said hot shot

Everyone was now more worried and frightened than ever now, not only did Sam sacrifice her life to defend the cube but she lost it and got badly hurt. Suddenly a huge whoosh of power burst through the room, everyone could sense the energy signature it was giving off but couldn't pin point it.

"What the spark it going on Scattershot"

Trying to reach the controls on the other side of the room Scattershot saw energy go off the scale.

"This energy that we're all feeling has the same amount of energy as the all spark" he explained

Now everyone's faces were blank, just then the energy disappeared and Red Alert came running in to room.

"What's going on? What have you done?"

Scattershot thought hard about what had just happened.

"The all spark is nowhere in sight but it is here giving off a lot of energy, and what we all just felt was a small blast of it as a warning to keep us away"

No one really understood what was completely going on but they turn their attention away from their unconscious friend. Red Alert seemed to know what Scattershot was saying in a second her was running scans on Sam's heart making sure that it was working properly and that it wasn't damaged.

"By the all spark, I found why Sam is so weak and why we almost got the energon spilled out of us"

Now all the Autobots had the optics wide open and were ready to hear what Red Alert had to say.

"I'm afraid to say that Sam has a broken arm but she doesn't have a heart"

Everyone burst out with questions all at once, not knowing if he was fooling around or not. Red Alert looked at Scattershot and nodded.

"Calm down, what Red Alert is saying is that the cube is no longer visible to us. Somehow Samantha absorbed the all spark, probably without even knowing it, and it took place inside of her where she was most powerful. Her heart."

Silence came to everyone as they took tall looking down on the human. Wing Saber and hot shot turned away and walked away to their private rooms for a recharge. Bumblebee went to sit down next to one of the controls while everyone else still glanced at the girl. Until Optimus broke the silence.

"If she has the all spark inside her as her heart then doesn't that mean that she needs energon every so often?"

Both Red Alert and Scattershot did not realise that if she had something Cybertronian inside her she was going to need something else Cybertronian to help keep her alive.

"That is true but she can't have the energon cubes like we do, she'll need it in the form of a liquid" explained Scattershot

Now each bot new the best way to do that is to extract energon from another bot. unfortunately each bot also new that this would them very weak. Bumblebee quickly stood up from where he was sat.

"Bee come here please and this won't hurt a bit" asked Red Alert

He walked over slowly trusting his comrade in what he was doing. From a table behind Red Alert a long needle and syringe was drawn out and pushed in to bumblebee's right arm. A small squeal came from bee and the syringe began to fill with a blue liquid. It was bubbly, clear and clean but it took a lot of strength and energy out of Bumblebee.

"Here bumblebee let me help you get some energon and then to your room for some rest" asked Optimus

Now walking down the corridor to the energon reactors Optimus had his arm round bee's back to support him. Red Alert prepared Sam for the injection and asked Scattershot to hold her steady. Now Sam was held in-between Scattershot's hands and a long needle was pointed into her right arm. Slowly the crystal clear blue liquid was pushed into Sam's body and she began to wake with a loud scream of pain.

"Sam calm down, it'll be okay, and it'll be over soon. This will help you please listen to me" reassured Scattershot

Tears started to come from Samantha's eyes the pain was too much for her to cope, she couldn't hold in her pain anymore it was too hard.

"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH"

With that cry of pain echoing throughout the corridors everyone came running in response to the cry. First to enter the room was Wing Saber.

"What's going on, I think the decepticons could hear that one" he laughed

"Don't joke around Wing Saber, Sam's awake and in pain" silenced Optimus

Everyone saw Red Alert take the needle out of her arm and put it down on the table behind him. He looked over at Sam and saw her crying, he felt bad but he had to help her get better. Again he scanned Sam and saw that she calmed down and the all spark had returned to normal. No strange energy signatures or out bursts but he still had to put Sam's left arm in a cast.

"Okay Sam's going to be fine, I need you to be brave again Sam. I need to lift your left arm and look at the damage you've done and then put it in a cast" Red Alert reassured

Scattershot moved his arms to let Red Alert do his job. Now everyone backed off to let them have some space they sat in the control room just outside the medical bay and waited. An hour later Sam's arm was in a cast and she was wide awake and ready to hear what they had been up to. Sat on the medical bench Sam listened as Scattershot explained everything from when they saved Sam from the decepticon to when they put energon inside of her.

"So because the all spark is made up of raw power does that mean that I can control the powers" questioned Sam

"Yes but we need you to understand that this is no joke we are going to let you use them to defend yourself so we need you to practice with them here with us and have regular check-ups with Red Alert" said Optimus

Sam new the consequences of having powers but now she felt special it was a way that she hadn't felt since the last time she saw her parents. Looking around she saw each bot smile at her in a friendly way, they were all pleased that their friend was back to her normal self.

"Don't suppose I could go outside I feel cramped in here"

Scattershot put his hand out to Sam on the Medical Bench and let her climb on and slowly he lowered his hand to the floor where she climbed off and walked away down to the lift that comes up inside a shed. The Autobots watched as she turned the corner and when she was out of sight they started talking about how they would get her used to her powers. Up top Sam took a deep breath in she wanted to taste the air in her lunges but she couldn't, why couldn't she feel the air going through her nose?

Samantha ran towards the lift and pushed the last button, slowly the lift went down. As soon as the doors opened and Sam was back in the base she ran towards the control room to only see Red Alert, Bumblebee and hot shot. The others must be recharging after yesterday's events or getting more energon Sam thought to herself.

"Red Alert! I can't breathe. Why can't I breathe?" said Sam all confused and worried.

Bumblebee heard Sam panting and came over from where he was in the corner of the room.

"Stay calm Sam, you don't have to breathe anymore because you don't have heart inside you the all spark helps you survive without breathing" Red Alert explained

Sam lowered her head not breathing felt like not living, it felt like her parents letting her down again. Sam suddenly thought that Jeeves and Emily will be wondering where she is.

"I better call them" she whispered

Sam opened her shoulder bag and searched for her phone but it wasn't in her bag, then she realised that she dropped it when calling for help.

"It must be in the alley still"

Bumblebee over heard what she said and quickly transformed, opening the passenger door so Sam could hope in and closing it behind her. He strapped in with the seat belt carefully not wanting to accidentally hurt her arm and drove off out of the base and into the woods. Heading for the Sesame street alley.
