//------------------------------// // Prologue // Story: Bumblebee // by knigsonic //------------------------------// "Cybertron... for generations it has been a peaceful world, but pride and a lust for power divided us. Now we fight... enemies, who were once our brothers... "I am Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots. We have fought bravely against Megatron and his Decepticon warriors, but alas, we have failed. Megatron had used Dark Energon to corrupt Cybertron's core, and in order to cleanse it, our planet's core has shut down, haulting its production of life giving Energon. "We hope to leave Cybertron in order to find a new world among the stars. Jazz and Cliffjumper found an ancient star map of the universe in the Sea of Rust, and located a new planet for us to journey to called Earth. I sent my scout Bumblebee ahead of us to study the planet and search for life. We await his response, but until that day, we continue our war against the Decepticons!" -------------- Twilight stepped out into the garage as her husband Nightlight loaded their car up with his belongings. "And just where are you going?" She asked folding her arms. Nightlight sighed opening the car door. "Im sorry Vel, but this marrage just isnt working out..." he said getting into the driver seat. "What are you saying?" She asked walking up. Nightlight looked at her starting the car up. "Im filing for a divorce." He said unaware his son was walking in before opening the garage door. "B-But... what about Shining Armor? And... " she paused placing her hand on her belly. Nightlight frowned starting the car up. "Good Bye Twilight." ------------ Shining Armor looked up at the stary night as his mother came out of the house with two cups of hot chocolate and gave him one. "Thanks mom!" He said before taking it as she sat beside him trying not to cry more in front of her little boy. "See anything out there Shining?" She asked looking up at the stars. "Nothing interesting sadly. Just the same stars and planets we always see..." he said sadly. Science sadly wasnt his strong suit but he did always make an attempt at it. Twilight sighed before looking up to see a shooting star. "HA! Shining, LOOK!" She said with excitement pointing him to it. "WOAH A shooting star!" He exclaimed. "Be sure to make a wish!" His mother told him before getting up. He nodded and closed his eyes. 'I wish Mommy would be happy again...' he thought. ------------- The star landed outside Canterlot, managing to take out a bilboard in the process. It bounced into the woods near some campers. "What was that?" One of them asked climbing out their tent. The two took out their flash lights and scanned the area only to find a new trench was dug into the ground. Following it they soon located what caused it, a strange metal pod. "You ever seen anything like this mate?" He asked his friend who shock his head. They suddenly heard noise come from it and turned to it only to jump back in terror. Two legs folded out from it and slammed them into the ground standing it up, before two arms appeared. They watched as parts of the pod shifted around to form a body, about twice their height as a head with two blue eyes appeared. They stood there in fear as the metal man stood there looking at them before looking up to their ride, a yellow voltswagon and scanned the car before running down the road away from the two, leaving them to their own thoughts.
