//------------------------------// // At one Point // Story: Stars Dashing // by RobotFox //------------------------------// Chapter 1 At one point I’ve been through one pit of a week, or should I say hay? Oh what’s the difference? But I guess I’m going to have to get used to it eventually, there’s no turning back now. What’s done is done and I can’t change anything now…ironically, this is the only time in my existence I can think of where I believe I had made the right decision with no regrets. I looked over the organic primitive town that I could see from the air perfectly. It’s strange to see a town like this when majority of one’s time has been on other planets but I’ll adapt as I have with the others. “There you are!” I turn around to see a cyan female pegasus with a rainbow mane fly toward me “You know I’ve been looking everywhere for you! It’s time get some sleep, weather patrol isn’t going to be easy tomorrow!” I sigh, new duties, new position, all things I had to get used to… --One Month Ago-- Megatron sat in his thrown on the Decepticon star ship called ‘The Nemesis 2’. It was very similar to the original Nemesis which was still residing at the bottom of the sea on Earth. The only major difference between the two was that current one was more up to date and energy efficiency has been improved immensely from the old ship. If there was any benefit of coming to Earth and getting a few energy runs, it was the human’s surprising efforts to save energy. Megatron as well as a small group of Decepticons were deep in the solar system. Starscream recommended that they look for an alternate planet for resources but also keep the Autobots focused on Earth so they wouldn’t be able to leave Earth. It was risky but if there was one thing that his second-in-command and himself agreed on, it would be that the stalemate needed to end and random energy runs on Earth weren’t cutting it. “For once Starscream, you’ve actually gave a good suggestion. Give a few more and I may let you be guardian of Cybertron as well.” Megatron said aloud smirking. Starscream as well as Soundwave and Thundercracker were manning the other controls of the bridge. “Oh, it is merely showing my total dedication toward you and our cause my lord.” Starscream spat with sarcasm. Megatron let out a dry chuckle at his Air Commander’s remark. In a way it was a game to him now, he never would give Starscream the satisfaction of winning an argument but did like his remarks occasionally, but only when he was in a good mood, otherwise the seeker was only good for a punching bag when he spat his remarks. Starscream only shook his head in annoyance as he continued controlling the ship. It was safe to say that he didn’t have the mutual emotions on their arguments. “Megatron.” A monotone voice announced thus Megatron turned his attention to the communications officer known as Soundwave “Organic planet is in range.” “Put it up on the main screen.” The Decepticon leader ordered which Soundwave complied. The main screen showed the planet. It was mostly green which showed that it was mostly organic planet. The environment seemed to be very clean and all things seemed to be a very peaceful, very vulnerable planet. “Well, it seems that we have a winner.” Megatron smirked. Starscream only curled a lip “It seems that it is easy pickings. What is the identity of this planet?” Soundwave typed in more information. “According to the Iacon’s dated Data tracks; the planet has been identified as Equerstria.” “Equestria…” Megatron said silently while rubbing his metal chin. “Considering how old the track is, I believe that the information is useless.” He then turned his attention to Soundwave “Soundwave, eject Laser-” “Disregard that order.” Megatron interrupted. “What?! We can’t just attack the planet with no-” “I wasn’t planning to!” Megatron interrupted getting angry once again with his second-in-command “I feel a more sryvos on approach is required for this.” he paused for a moment as if he was pondering “Starscream, Thundercracker, get Skywarp and begin surveying the planet. Do not, I repeat, do not interact with any of the residence of the planet or act hostel. You are to report to me with any of you findings.” And with that he got up from his thrown and left the bridge “I’m sure even you can do that Starscream.” And with that he walked out completely. The red seeker growled as he raised his right null ray toward the door but didn’t fire it. He merely growled in frustration and lowered his arm. Thundercracker was just watching his with his arms crossed, having seen similar scenarios before and didn’t see this one any different from the others. Starscream then turned his attention to the blue seeker and gave him simple glare before making his way to leave “Thundercracker, get Skywarp and tell him we are to survey Equestria in 300 astro seconds.” Thundercracker merely nodded and followed him out and Soundwave went back to his duties controlling the bridge. --On Equestria-- “Well Congratulations Darling, I’m very happy for you.” Rarity said to her yellow pegasus friend. “Yeah! Who would’ve thought that Fluttershy would be the first out of all of us to get a stallion!” Pinkie Pie exclaimed. The mane six was congratulating their yellow pegasus for her recent beginning of an official relationship with Applejack’s brother Big Macintosh. It wasn’t really a secret to Applejack, she saw the connection a mile away. Rainbow Dash saw it too but was forced to keep it a secret. It was only till now that Fluttershy finally decided to tell her friends about it. “Oh thank you! It’s been a great start for the both of us, Angel is still having trouble with accepting Macintosh around but I think they’ll warm up.” Fluttershy said to her friends. Applejack merely smirked “Good for you sugar cube. My brother is treating ya alright?” she said both in a half serious half joking manner. “Oh yes, immensely so! He’s been very patient with me and has been doing everything he can to help with the animals.” “Yay! I think it is time for a party!” The energetic Pink pony said while jumping in the air. “Come on Pinkie, it’s just them getting together, their not getting married or anything.” Rainbow Dash said in annoyance but still happy mood. “Besides, I think it’s time for me to practice my moves for the Wonderbolts!” Rainbow Dash was really just trying to find a reason to get away, not because she was jealous of Fluttershy and she didn’t care about having to be in a relationship at the moment, she just wanted to get the conversation along. This was all old news to her and if it was doing anything it was just boring her. “Oh, are they coming to Ponyville?” a lavender unicorn named Twilight Sparkle asked. “Well” she scratched the back of her head with her hoof “No but, they always say practice makes perfect!”
