//------------------------------// // Meet The Party Masters // Story: Transformers Equestria Girls // by RedFire //------------------------------// Within a huge abandoned tower in the center of the city, three young girls worked on a machine, connecting wires together. They had been working hard for their science project continually, constructing their project two of the girls rested their backs against one another, falling down tired, but the third one kept the working, not stopping for a break. These three girls were known as Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo, or for their school and friends in the town, they are also known as “The Crusaders”. After talking their way with the Mayor, in other words begged relentlessly they were allowed to use that tower for their supposed massive and important science project. Wiping her sweat away, Scootaloo smirked seeing their machine almost complete..and also looking a bit weird too. “Scootaloo..We should stop..for a while,” said Sweetie Belle as she looked at her friend “We have been doing this for..What day is even today..?” “Ah don’t know..” said Apple Bloom with a yawn “Honestly, Ah don’t even know how in the world we were able to read the Doc’s weird books..” she said picking one of the books before dropping it. “Oh quit whining, girls” said Scootaloo wiping away her sweat “We’re finally almost done with our project for school. We can actually prove ourselves better this year!” she said picking up a bag. The other girls watched as their friend slowly opened the bag and let it drop onto the ground, in her hands was a glowing, beating sphere of purple energy. Scootaloo’s fingers twitched and the energy moved in unison, like it was a heart. Sweetie Belle and Applebloom thought it would be a good idea to bring such strange thing, but now they seemed sceptical to keep it. It felt like...a malicious aura surrounded it. As they got up and stepped closer, they surrounded the machine while their orange friend slowly lowered the sphere into the center of the machine, half of the purple object was inside and half outside, suddenly powering on and shaking. The Crusaders smiled from ear to ear as they kept closer to their work, their hearts racing holding their hands tight on to the table. Suddenly, the machine started to rock harder, giving them an unsure feeling ,their smiles disappeared, the noise growing and lowering a weird way. As they let go of the shaking table until the device let out a burst of yellow sparks, the three young girls gasped surprised and scared ducking down fast under the table, covering their ears with their hands the noise of the sparks and the circuits “working” continued until slowly the table stopped shaking, the sound faded away in seconds . They slowly peeked from under their cover and saw their project ruined, smoke coming out from the small machine and the table had burnt marks left by the sparks. “Ah think it’s broken…” said Apple Bloom as she rubbed the back of her head. “Well..I guess we gotta start over…”  said Scootaloo. The three then let out a huge sigh “AGAIN…” said the Crusaders. Silence fell between them as they thought, staring at their failed machine. They could do something simpler but they wished something..different. Suddenly, someone knocked on the door, making the three gasp surprised, but then they panicked when they heard familiar voice calling them, pacing from one side to the other. It was Sunset Shimmer, standing in the other side of the door and holding with both hands a tray that carried cartons of apple juice, made by Granny Smith herself. Luckily for the Crusaders, the door was actually a electronic one, opened only by a access card which they had, but not Sunset. “Girls, open the door. I know you are in there,” she said while knocking, only hearing noises from them cleaning stuff or even hiding stuff, making her roll her eyes “Just because the Mayor gave you full access here, doesn’t mean you can be in there forever.” Sunset still waited as she still heard that noise, her foot tapping the ground she slowly sighed placing her ear close to the door to try listen. Suddenly, her necklace started to glow bright blue pulling towards the card reader in the door, generating electricity when the shard touched it, startlingly her so she grabbed it when she saw the scanner blink green and red with shooting sparks until it finally turned green, hearing the lock of the door opening. Sunset Shimmer was surprised when the necklace came closer to her still glowing blue, revealing weird alien symbols engraved in it, or the ancient language of the Cybertronians. She almost forgot about the AllSpark shard that she carried on her neck after the battle for the Cube, the relic that created every Transformer in the universe. The door opened, making her hide the shard under her shirt and look at the Crusaders standing in front of her with nervous smiles. “Sunset? How did you open the door?” asked Scootaloo confused crossing her arms. “Well..Hum..I think it’s broken, actually, aaaand that it was open too so..” she replied with a nervous chuckle and rubbed the back of her head the girls looked confused “I brought you apple juice, made by your Granny, Apple Bloom,” said Sunset as she passed the tray to them. The girls looked at each other silently, hesitating , but like a bunch of vultures, the Crusaders grabbed the carton’s while Sunset Shimmer watched them drink with large gulps, showing how thirsty they were from work. She raised her left eyebrow thinking about something. “What’s the last time you three ate?” asked Sunset putting her hand in her hip as the crusaders stopped drinking to look at each other “Please tell me you haven’t been here all day” “What? Don’t be silly, we’re not hungry,” said Scootaloo with a smirk crossing her arms. One by one, their bellies objected her answer until they growled all together with that loud sound, making the purple haired girl’s smirk disappear as they looked down, making Sunset look as the girls gave awkward and nervous looks until she giggled and stepped aside, letting them walk in front of her after with her following, walking she listened to the small girls speak about what to eat like a cake, fruit, only to let them hungry. The red haired girl looked at her necklace that slowly stopped glowing once they were getting far from the door, making her unsure about that shard. She still felt sad by remembering that she destroyed the one thing that could revive the Bots’ homeworld of Cybertron, but it was the only way to save the Earth and even stop Megatron. She mentally sighed as she clenched the relic in her shirt,  knowing not even that shard would be able to save their ravaged wasteland world, but they know at least the Cons now are without a better leadership. ‘Just relax, Sunset..’, she said while letting go her own shirt, ‘You are worrying too much. I mean..What could go wrong?’ She smiled with that positive thought as the group and her left the building for the breakfast in the SugarCube Corner. Inside the building, after the door closed itself, sparks of blue electricity shot from the machine, like a plague, the sparks started to spread across the lab until they focused on the box and the purple sphere as, like tentacles, they wrapped around it while itself started to glow brighter than before as metal and circuits around it started to shake and glow too. Suddenly, cables wrapped around it and metal pieces flew into it, connecting each other piece by piece until they formed a robotic form that was held with those cables in the ceiling shaking and shooting sparks as one optic flickered purple the system was slowly starting. “Au-to-bots! Mega-Mega-Mega!” shouted the machine almost like glitching “MMMeeega--! Me-gaa! I’m Mega--! MEGATRON!” With that last shout that almost shook the lab, his optic finally shined from purple to red as Megatron looked around, blinking while scanning this unknown place around him, zooming in on sections of the room. He felt oddly light confusing him as to what was going on. On his makeshift shoulders sat two old rusty claw like arms slowly shivered with sparks he started to move the unused joints, smacking the claws together to work as “hands”. His normal senses rebooted back to normal in seconds like he awoke from a long sleep. “Where..am I..? What is this place..?” he said slowly he moved his robotic form, suddenly came into a harsh stop as he turned his head, seeing that he was connected to the ceiling “Why in Unicron’s name I am in this primitive body?! What has happened to me?!” he said snarling he looked at the computer in front of him, frowning his optic glowed brighter . As he did that, the computer flickered alive by his glare and, like it was reading his mind, showed images of something that happened to him days long forgotten by many. He saw himself in his powerful but wounded body, the Allspark in the hands of a female human and herself in his claws and Optimus Prime damaged in the ground with Twilight Sparkle in front. It looked like a dream coming true, but soon that dream came into surprise and horror as he saw how that girl slammed the relic into the crack in his chest, melting into his spark chamber the power that was contained within overloaded his circuits and he exploded into a bright blue. The video stopped and Megatron was shocked from what happened, his optic once more frowned he was shaking not of fear, but anger. Not only his victory was taken away in the most humiliating way, but the fact that the Allspark, the only power in the Universe that could save their kind and their own planet, crushed by the hands of that human scum. Sunset Shimmer..He remembered her name now. “Shimmer..I should have crushed you during the time you were brought to the Nemesis..” he said as then suddenly he remember something important “My ship..Why aren't my soldiers looking for me?!” Using once more the computer, Megatron started to change some of its programing to check Decepticon communication grid in his warship, hack it in a way to say it. So that is how Soundwave feels when he works on the warship system..He thought it was impressive the feeling of being inside multiple programs. On the screen, he saw a familiar Decepticon dressed with a cape, large shoulder pads and a crown, standing delivering a speech to all the Decepticons about Megatron’s destruction, his failure to save Cybertron and the beginning of a new leadership of their empire with a large grin that made the champion of Kaon snarl. He hated him, that traitorous waist of spark. With that rage, purple light started to fill other machine circuits they shook and smoke leaked from them and the overhead lights grew brighter. “STARSCREAM!!!” he shouted, his outburst caused the light bulbs to pop into pieces until everything became dark he remained silent for a moment, thinking about the situation “They don’t even know I still function...I must find a way to contact my soldiers and rebuild my former body. I won’t let that sniveling traitor  Starscream ruin my precious empire,” while the primitive computer processed his actions, one of his claws held a small drone, moving it close to his optic “After that, I will mutilate his wings and throw him to the depths of a ravine, and the Autobots will die by my hand one by one until every last spark of their faction is dead once and for all, but most importantly..I will slowly kill  Sunset Shimmer and her Rainbooms to teach that NO ONE DESTROYS MEGATRON AND GETS AWAY WITH IT!!” he roared crushing the little drone to pieces. In the Nemesis… In the ship’s lab, Knock Out moved around a black figure that remained chained to a table, using a torch to meld cracks that had across his armor. The robot optics flickered red, he watched the Decepticon medic repair him, slowly his hands and feet started to move , rubbing against the wrists as he let out soft growls as he moved his head, catching Knock Out’s attention as he rolled his optics. Suddenly, the door slid open  Starscream walked in, behind him was the rest of their team: Soundwave, Barricade and Snow Cat, who in fact was wearing different colors than he once had, probably work of the medic and his obsession for style. “I see we have come in the right moment,” said Starscream seeing his comrade awake, looking at Knock Out then “Give me your report about the repairs you made on him.” “Well, besides this freak been a weeping sparkling,” he said putting down the torch, the black figure slowly glared at him “The repairs have been successful, but he doesn’t have the strength and power that he had, which I cannot be able to work on that.” Starscream looked at the Decepticon laid in the table, slowly showing a smirk as he walks towards him, standing close to his face as he chuckles “See what following NOT orders do to you, abomination?” said the red and white Seeker as he poked the optic of the Decepticon, who growled slowly like an animal “You are lucky I am too ‘kind’ or else I wouldn’t be allowing you to have this chance. The way you took down those Autobots...” “Careful with the teasing, Starscream. He might even rip off your finger in few astroseconds,” said Barricade “Still we need to know what to do with him about that.” Suddenly, Soundwave optics flickered hard and a lot as everyone looks, confused of might what he found out by the system. He turned into his big “walkman” mode and showed a hologram screen, making all step closer and look better. It was showing Earth and from above it was falling two green dots. It was hard making sure which were their faction, but they were really cybertronian ships, heading right towards nothing less than the center of the city, being the one closer, and other towards the forest. Then they all turned to Starscream, who looked at them all blinking by their stares. “Well, what the slag you waiting for?!” he growled as pushed them away “GO CHECK THE SHIPS, YOU IDIOTS, AND SEND SOME OF THE TROOPS TO THE FOREST ONE!” The Decepticon team looked at each other confused, growling while they walked away, leaving behind Starscream, Knock Out and his patient, among them all Soundwave was the one who was against Starscream’s rule. Since the day he sat on Megatron’s throne, the war hasn’t been the same. The new Emperor of Destruction’s plans have shown that he is only doing everything for his own ambitions, which have been doing nothing except allowing the Autobots to keep winning battles and if that kept the same path, Soundwave was unsure for the fate of the Decepticon faction. As the others gathered Insecticons and Vehicons, the communications officer opened a Ground Bridge to them as they walked in, closing behind them. Once their soldiers were sent, the Strike Force, usually what is called to the main team of Decepticons, with their weapons loaded and ready for any combat, or fun, they looked at Soundwave who nodded and opened another portal as all transformed, except him, and drove through it with the cold Con following them on foot, reaching to the center of the city. They were all standing in what was supposed to be a construction area of sorts and humans that were around the place, working or living their normal lives, look shocked and surprised at the vehicles and the big robot standing behind them, police officers aiming their guns to Soundwave. “So when does this ship arrives anyway, Soundwave?” asked Barricade “Having these entire organic eyes over us doesn’t give me a nice feeling in my circuits.” Soundwave remained silent at Barricade’s question and complaining as his head slowly turned to the sky, his optics zoomed and fixed on the clouds as he pointed at them, making even humans look as a fireball comes descending from them fast, everyone around started panicking as they ran, by their own will or by orders of the police, workers abandoned their building tools as they ran away as well. The “meteor” hit some of the big buildings, shattering windows and breaking walls before it crashed down into the working, the ground trembled hard as dirt rises up and construction materials flew away into many things by the shock wave caused by the impact, the Decepticons stood their ground as they watched all happening. People screamed more by the chaotic fire as soon smoke and dirt fades away as the mysterious ship revealed to them as a Decepticon escape pod. “Hey, it’s one of our own!” said Snow Cat excited as he transformed with Barricade as the three walked towards the pod “I wonder who can be in there. Haven’t seen any of the other Cons for so much.” The three stood in front of the escape pod, smoke coming from the crate it created and burned marks all around the paint. They waited a bit for the pod to open, but so far no sign of activity from it. Soundwave  pressed the button on his chest, making it open as a cassette flew from his chest and transformed into Rumble, who landed on top of . No word was needed from his master as the Minicon turned his arms into his piledrivers and started smashing the door, bending it and cracking it with each hit until it created a hole, making more smoke come out. Moving aside the Minicon, Barricade and Soundwave placed their hands in the and pulled open the hatch like it was a tuna can so it could released the smoke that had within. Snow Cat, tempted by his curiosity, stepped forward and peaked within to see who was it, trying to clear away the many smoke around, but before he could say a word, a sudden fist hits his chin hard enough to knock him on the ground, surprising the other Cons, as from pod flew very quick someone, giggling and laughing as it fired its missiles everywhere, blowing up the many windows and vehicles, people once more screamed while running as the Strike Force watched surprised. “No. Slagging. Way,” said Barricade while watching the Decepticon turning to them with a smirk. “HEY, GUYS!” shouted the fembot “I’M BAAAAACK!” In that moment, in the Ark… Applejack slowly played her base as she was humming, creating some relax ambient music as some of the Rainbooms worked on their instruments, Bumblebee and Sari watched them like a curious kids while Twilight wrote her “war journal" about the last situation, lounged over Optimus Prime’s shoulder, while he observed his team’s work on the Ark’s computer, Teletraan-1. The Autobots were working on cables in the computer, the communication system’s area. Ratchet was working the control panel while Hound was underneath it with tools handed by Wheeljack, touching, twisting and moving circuits. Sunset and Rainbow Dash, both mounted on Arcee, arrived to the command bridge stepping off of their friend to allow her to change form into her robot form. Rarity was from all to stood up to greet their friends return. “Welcome back, girls,” she said with hugs “So how are our little Crusaders with their Summer’s science project?” “Those three are fine, Rarity. So far, they haven’t blown themselves up,” said Rainbow Dash with a chuckle as he looked at them “Hey, you haven’t started playing without me, did ya?” The girls giggled suddenly, Pinkie Pie jumped up and started to shake everyone looked at her, the Autobots actually were confused by the strange action their pink little human pet. They looked at Wheeljack, who raised his eyebrow and shrugged his shoulders. “What was that about, Pinkie?” asked Ratchet “You looked as if a tiny Scraplet crawled up your pants.” “Oh, this?” she said as she rubbed the back of her head “It’s my Pinkie Sense, it warns me aaaaall the time when something is about to happen. If I’m gonna have a lucky day, if something weird is falling from the sky, blah, blah, blah. And this means that something is gonna fall on us, guys.” she said with a huge smile. “Oh no..” said Twilight she rubbed her forehead, catching Optimus’ attention “Not this  again..” “It seems like you have experienced this ‘Pinkie Sense’ before, Twilight,” he said. “Unfortunately ..and honestly it wasn’t the best experience,” she replied. “I see..Hound, how is the communications system?” asked Optimus as he turned his attention to Hound “Have you been able to update it to a larger range?” “Well..I know I can be a communication specialist, but there is no way I can stretch more of the signal out of this system,” he said as he cleaned his hands with a tissue “I’m sorry, Optimus, but unless we have a REAL master of communications, no Autobot outside this area can receive the message or detect any ship unless it’s already on the planet.” “Is this thing important for us all, Bee..?” asked Fluttershy to Bumblebee, who replied with his electronic at her “Contact Iacon? Receive and help other scattered Autobots? That sounds really nice..” she said with a soft smile. “Let’s just get the system back online,” said Ratchet “I don’t like very much having it turned off knowing we have the Decepticons out there.” Nodding, Hound then started to put back everything into place, closing the little door before standing up, allowing Ratchet to type the keyboard to restart the system,  watching the screen loading cybertronians symbols. Suddenly, all the alarms went up with their loud noises, surprising everyone as Teletraan shouted many times “Warning” as he showed in the big screen, right in the middle of the city, that burned in flames, was four Decepticons that seemed to be talking to each other. Slowly, all heads turned towards Pinkie Pie, who giggled a bit with a huge smile in her face. “Guys..” asked as she focused in the fembot in the screen “Who in tarnation is that?” In that moment… “Thunderblast?” asked Snow Cat as he sat up slowly, rubbing his chin in pain and surprise. “Hiya, guys!” she said as she landed in front of them putting on her back her gun and pushed up his big comrade and hugged him tight “I missed you all so much! Still being cold and handsome, Kitty?” said Thunderblast, seeing how surprised they all were until she focused on one of them “Soundy! Love the new look!” “Why the slag were you in this escape pod?” asked Barricade “Shouldn’t you be with Team Charr, like far away from this sector?” She giggled a bit as she let go Cat “Barricade, you are such a bad cop. General Strika and the other girls don’t need me now,” said Thunderblast as she placed her hand in her hip “Besides, I am here on an important mission.” “And which important mission might that Strika would dare to allow it be to be trusted on you, Thunderblast?” asked a familiar voice behind them. The Decepticons turned around as they get their weapons ready, seeing standing there the Autobots and their Rainbooms, ready for combat and aiming their blasters at them. Both sides glared and snarled at each other, ready for any attack. The girls could listen to the guns charging up slowly. Through the cameras of the city, Megatron watched his troops and his enemies staring at each other, scanning each one as he focused at Sunset and Twilight. He snarled seeing both humans standing there, such anger made his whires shake like a menacing creature, but he had to focus more on his objective, none other than to try connect to his most loyal Decepticon of his entire army. “Ya know, if you wanted our attention that much,” mocked Rainbow Dash with a smirk “you could have just called us.” “Nice party cannon, silly!” said Pinkie Pie with giggles. “Name’s Thunderblast!” she said “And the party has only starting! Give them the Pits, boys!” With those words, Snow Cat grabbed the gas truck with both hands and threw it towards the Autobots, who reacted along with the girls as they jumped out of the way while Optimus turned his other hand into his sword and sliced the gas tank in half, jumping through it high enough as it explodes behind him, leaving no debris to hit any human or building while he landed right in front of Cat, surprising him before smacking him with his Ion Blaster in the face to make him step back, allowing Twilight and Sunset using her “Decepticon Hunters” to shock him right in the neck, making him snarl louder in pain as he shakes them hard from him like a dog with its fleas. All Decepticons and Autobots started shooting at each other, swinging their weapons at each other and delivering kicks and punches as Megatron watched all from his far away place, seeing his generals fighting Team Prime and their humans. Pinkie, firing her cannon at him three times with a big smile, but three times they were hit by three missiles, both exploding in the air as she gasps and looked, seeing Thunderblast smirking as she fired her weapon at her as Bumblebee, with Fluttershy holding on his door, ran and grabbed her in time while he jumped out of the blast impact, taking cover behind a metal crate before shooting along with his human at the female Con, who dodged the shots by hovering sideways. Thunderblast fired at the metal crate, making the yellow Autobot duck behind it covering the two girls as Arcee and Rainbow Dash fired at her. The crazy fembot smirked for seeing the famous female Autobot and fired two missiles at them, both ran in opposite directions as Dash jumped and  charged her cannon with a quick aim and with a big smirk, firing her weapon as she rolled on the dirt. Her bullet hit right in Thunderblast’s jet engine, making her gasp as she spinned out of control into the ground, crushing a fire hydrant into pieces as water comes from it. Soundwave clenched his fist as his shoulder turret moves up and starts spinning, missiles were fired out from it in many directions, making the Rarity, Applejack and their Bots gasp as the ran or even tried to take shelter. During that chaos of missiles, Rarity, busy with running and not trying to be blown into bits, is hit by a small blast, making her gasp in pain as she falls on her back, rubbing her smoking chest armor that they were testing, trying to get up as then Ravage jumps on top of her, his claws scratched more her armor as she gasped in panic, using the side of her Harmony Cannon on his mouth, stopping his bite strike as his fangs sink a bit hard on the metal of the weapon, his paws scratched more in her chest, causing sparks as both struggled. “Ow! Get off me, you..you uncouth feline!” she said using the grip of her Hunter to repeatedly smack it in Ravage’s head “You are ruining my precious look! Off! Shoo! Shoo!” Ravage snarled and growled with each hit that she gave as he bites more in her Cannon, causing metal to bend and sparks come out in that struggle. Suddenly, Applejack steps forward as her Decepticon Hunter turned into a hammer, swinging into the Minicon’s side that even made one of his fangs get stuck on Rarity’s arm while he tumbled away. “Are ya really more concerned about yer clothes?” asked her helping her friend back up “Ya really need to--Argh!” AJ painfully grunted when she was was hit by Laserbeak, who crashed into her side hard enough to make her hit the ground. Hound saw it, which made him growl he glared at Soundwave, running towards him locking their hands together, struggling to gain ground he then throws the Autobot to the ground. The battle continues as during it each team was forced to move back and take cover as Rainbow Dash took this chance for a rum towards the Cons. “Hold still, human germ!” growled Barricade shooting his moving target with no luck hitting her. “Why don’t you just chill out, loser?” said Rainbow Dash, mocking him while running to him. “If she insists..” said Snow Cat with a smirk under his mask. Seeing the water escaping the fire hydrant, Snow Cat moved away from Barricade and charged a white beam that fired into the water, freezing quickly across the ground as well under her running feet, making her grunt as she slipped onto the ice, she fell hard on her back. Thanks to her speed, she kept sliding towards the Decepticons as Soundwave rose his foot to crush her, but she was saved by a lucky cable, pulled out of the crushing place as Optimus catched her, placing her down, nodding at her as she smiled at him. Both sides stared at each other in a standoff much like before in a deadly silence. Until... “Soundwave…” said a familiar voice. Soundwave’s fighting pose disappeared he stood up looking around, not focusing on the Autobots while them and his own team looking confused with the way he acted. He kept looking around and around, an easy target to the other Transformers, but they instead stayed still with their weapons ready, just in case. “Where are you, Master?” asked Soundwave looking at the sky. “Rest assure, my friend...I’m very well close,” said Megatron in his comn “Retreat for now and take Thunderblast with you.” “Hum Soundwave?” asked Barricade “Who the slag are you talking to?” “Decepticons, retreat,” he ordered them as they all looked shocked. “What?! But the Autobots--” asked Thunderblast confused. By surprise, a portal opened under Snow Cat and Barricade’s feet, startling them as they fell inside, while Soundwave wrapped his arm around the fembot Decepticon and turned in his jetpack, flying high above the sky surprising the Autobots and the girls. “That was...different?” said Ratchet after breaking the silence. “What was that all about?” asked Sunset. “Hard to say..Wasn’t there another ship falling nearby?” asked Twilight as suddenly they heard a big explosion coming from the forest area as they turned their attention to it. A lot of smoke was coming out of there, all black and blue, signs of energon being burned or that even exploded by the same. Soon, the Autobots have arrived there to the forest zone as all looked around while walking, everywhere showed marks of a fight and some Vehicons and Insecticons’ bodies, bleeding, burning and scratched in the ground some around around the second pod and unlike the one that had Thunderblast, its passenger seemed to have blew his way out before blowing up the welcome party. They looked at the logo in it as Bumblebee cleaned the dust from it to see it better: Decepticon as well. “Another Con?” said Applejack rubbing the back of his head “What in tarnation is goin’ on with these crazy tiny cans to come here?” “Unless we are facing a really, really insane Con,” said Arcee holding a Vehicon’s head “then there’s something else going on.” In that moment, like an answer to their thoughts, an explosion is heard as well some..music? Rainbow Dash listened as she can recognize that instrument playing was a guitar and whoever was playing was a professional at playing rock. Two Vehicons and an Insecticon got out from the trees to the open before transforming, making the Team Prime pull out their guns aiming at them, but they seemed to be not focused on them as they turned to the trees and fired their blasters at the same place the song was coming right the moment a bot jumps from their firing range, holding what it seemed to be his guitar as he extended his arm up and lowered it down fast to play a high loud note that sended blue sound waves against the Decepticons. The Vehicons yelped in pain as their armors get all crashed in the ground and their circuits torned apart by the pression of that attack while the Insecticon shielded himself with his arms, sliding back so hard that his armor cracked a bit before he hissed loud at his attacker that landed right up close to him, ducking when the Con swun his claws to cut him, while that he pulled from his back a black gun, never letting go his instrument as he forced his new weapon to slide inside the bug’s mouth, breaking some of his fangs and almost choking him hard. This robot smirked at the Insecticon as he pulled the trigger, all there heard the shot and saw it as well as the blue blast pierced his way out of the head by the back, destroying and scattering through the ground Energon, circuits and pieces of the creature’s memory core. The girls watched surprised, among them Dashie was amazed with shiny and wide open eyes by that big guitar, a mix of blue, black and yellow as it paint and the way it was used to kick some butts, looking at this new guy too while he pulled his blaster from the mouth of that Con, leaving his big corpse fall hard on his back with the optics turning offline as his head had inside a big hole with a view to outside now and a lot of smoke. He was red and his chest yellow with a big Autobot logo in there and his legs grey, all that color was a perfect mix in his armor while he shakes his gun a lot to wipe away the many Energon in it before putting it on his back again. “Ya’re late, guys,” said the Autobot “The party has already ended.” Wheeljack’s optics blinked a lot “Blaster? You son of a glitch, is that really you?” he said as he walked towards him while turning off his gun and putting his sword on his back. “Friends of yours, I presume, Jackie?” asked Rarity with a soft playful smirk. “Unless he knows another Bot like me, ya better warn me,” mocked this ‘Blaster’ as he then looked at his guitar with a soft smile “It’s alright, guys. Ya can detach now.” The girls looked at each other confused and then at him as he talked like that to his guitar, but suddenly, as he opened his hand to let go the instrument, it started to separate itself in three pieces, each one being part of their own colors. Two parts, one black and the other blue, shifted into two human size bodies as when they landed on their feet, their heads pop out, revealing to be like twins. The other part, the yellow one, started to shift as well, but this one got four legs as it landed on it, transforming into what appeared to be a yellow lion with a big Autobot logo in the forehead. The Rainbooms only realised they were his own Minicons, surprised seeing that these ones were good guys as the two humanoid ones waved at them while the lion stepped closer to Fluttershy, smelling her as she was only smiling by the minute for this one, stroking his head slowly. “How’s it going, boss?” said the Autobot turning his attention to Optimus, saluting him after his Minicons jumped into his opening chest “It’s good to see your faceplate after all these years.” “It is good to see you as well, my trusted communication officer,” said Prime after saluting as well “I’m sure you have an interesting report as to why you are here, but it would be wise to take this to the Ark. For privacy and for Pinkie Pie’s own sake over there.. ” he said as all looked at the pink girl who was jumping excitedly and biting her lip to hold in her words. Meanwhile… Up in the sky, Soundwave was flying concealed above the cloud layer, as in his tight grasp was Thunderblast, who struggled to break free from him she hit her fist on his arm repeatedly. “Let go of me, you deranged Decepticon!” she growled hitting his chest. Reacting to this, he used his other arm and wrapped it around her “Negative,” said Soundwave “Our master call us. We must answer to him.” “Oh and they say Blitzwing and I are the crazy ones,” she said rolling her optics. Tired of being hold against her will, Thunderblast grabbed his chest and moved her head back and gave him a headbutt under his chin, creating sparks and sent his head back, but Soundwave took this momentum to counter-attack and strike his head on hers harder while he released her from his arms, letting the stunned girl scream in pain as she fell down all the way to an military camp, crashing so hard that created a hole with the shape of her body, lucky no human was there working for today. Once he hovered close to the ground, the Con turned off his jets to land next to the hole, hearing her growling in pain and angry while getting off of it, dirt and rocks fell from her armor. “What in spark’s name got into you?!” growled Thunderblast at him once she got up. “Megatron..” replied Soundwave “I have heard him. Talking.” She only blinked a lot confused staring at him before she shook her head “Alright, if you say so, but first things first..Don’t you think that two flying robots is a bit weird on this planet?” asked the femmebot tapping on his chest “I mean, I love to have all the attention of everybot, but you are so shy so I care,” she said with a giggle. “Your humor does not amuse me..but you are correct,” he said as he started walking “We must acquire a disguise if we wish to escape the Autobots’ allies and return to the Nemesis or anywhere safe.” Moving her aside, Soundwave looked around as he looked at the many abandoned vehicles made for the army. While looking, he saw an old chopper left in there after whatever the humans used it. With his choice made, his visor turned green before shooting its laser at the vehicle, scanning each detail and design from the machine. Thunderblast placed her arms behind her back and started walking, humming a bit as she looked at the other machines. “Nope. Nope. Surely not this..whatever it is,” she said when she stopped in front of a boat, right next to it her optics saw a thin jet “Well hello, cute thing..” With a giggle, she started scanning the F-16 fighter jet with the same green laser coming from her optics, inside her point of view her body was analysing every detail of the vehicle to her T-Cog, which in turn modified the parts of her body for the disguise. Once the scan was done, both stepped close to each other as they transformed, Soundwave into his chopper mode and Thunderblast into her jet form, flying away once more to the clouds. In the Ark… “So why you call yourself ‘Blaster’? Is it because of that gun of yours? What’s your story? Are you from the future ruled by animals? Do you have a twin? Is he blue and yellow?” asked Pinkie Pie without stopping until Twilight covered her mouth, muthering her words to put an end to that non-stop interrogation. Blaster only blinked with a confused look on his face by the form this human acted that he just met minutes ago. If it wasn't for the young Princess, it would take years to answer that entire big list. The new Autobot was impressed with the result of the Ark’s trip to escape their dead homeworld and the luck their had to survive to the Nemesis’ attack. Few were the ships that had the luck to get away from a space battle with such powerful ship, even in the Exodus. “So are these are the life forms we are supposed protect?” asked Blaster “Are they all like this?” “Thank Primus, no” said Ratchet while stepping forward, the girl they mention frowned with a mean look at him “but, to be honest, I too share her and the other girls’ curiosity with why you came to this planet?” “Most importantly, in a Decepticon escape pod,” said Arcee while crossing her arms “Shouldn’t you and your Minicons be on Iacon with the resistance?” “Wait, what does Arcee mean with resistance?” asked Sunset as she looked at Eject, the blue Minicon. “Oh, the Bots never told you?” he asked surprised “Then listen to our Big Bro, cause this is a slag of a story.” “Well good to know ya still the badass fembot I met long ago, Arcee ,” he said with a soft smirk as he sat down, his other Minicon, known as Rewind, jumped on his shoulder and sat as well while he transmitted a holographic screen showing events “After ya left Cybertron with Megatron and his buddies behind you, Ultra Magnus started to make a resistance in Iacon City while helping the others to leave at the same time. We were able to hold against any attack from the Cons without worries thanks to Metroplex and Grimlock’s buddies” he said as Bumblebee asks him a question “Well that, my friend, is when things get interesting. And I mean in a bad way, ya know? As the Autobots’ chief communications officer, I had the job to check the Grid for every little detail until I get a strange signal from Luna-1. I gather some Bots and we flew towards there, but we surely weren’t ready for them..” Spike rose his eyebrow when the protection showed the sudden appearance of five FEMALE Decepticons, one being the one called Thunderblast, with a bunch of normal Seekers behind them “Now hang on a second! Are you telling us that you got beaten by a group of girls?” he said as the Rainbooms glared at him with a pissed look, making him gulp nervous and chuckle softly with ears down  “I mean..Hum..Not like the way you think, I’m cool with that.” “These girls aren't for joke, little alien buddy,” said Rewind while crossing his arms “Thunderblast, Flamewar, Slipstream, Arachanid and General Strika, or Team Chaar if you want, are one of the most dangerous teams in the Decepticon army, the femme fatale if you will.” “So ya got ambushed?” asked Applejack “What happened next?” “Nothing good, I assure ya, cowgirl,” replied Blaster, sadly “Like you said, it was an ambush, planned by Strika and Megatron’s one optic freak all along, all for me. The Autobots and I gave a good fight, but the Cons were still able to defeat us. When they captured me, they didn’t waste any time to..execute the others who survived..And knock us out. When I woke up, I was chained to a wall with other long ago prisoners from other battles. Those glitches had taken us to a prison heading far from Cybertron.” “Thanks to me and my friends, we were able to slip free and get Blaster free,” said Eject “We didn’t had time to free the others with the alarms going on. We had to run to the escape pods, take on and fly away from that slag ship. For a time, that pod traveled in light-speed since we went into stasis and, thanks to your message, Prime, I was able to be taken right to this rock.” “The message..” said Hound surprised “You were flying pass this system? What about Cybertron?” “I have no clue. I can't get signal from our dead world,” replied Blaster, tapping the side of his helmet to show what he meant “And that worries me..” “Well at least we are glad to have a new friend in your team such as you, darling,” Rarity added “And if I may say, we are really excited to--" “Unfortunately, I may have to take Blaster for some time, Rarity,” interrupted Optimus as the girls looked surprised “You may take his Minicons and show them the rest of our base. After that, maybe you can help him find his new vehicle form.” “Oh, well..If you insist so, Optimus,” she replied confused she started walking away with the others and the Minicons. As they walked away, Rainbow stayed behind without saying anything as she turned to the entrance of the Ark's bridge, her stubborn curiosity got the best of her as she quietly walked to the side of the door, hiding in there as she peeks in, seeing Optimus turning his attention back to Blaster, staring at him with a serious look. The Autobot communications officer also gave a stare, his cheering mood gone into the same one Prime was showing. “I know why you are really here, Blaster..” he said to him, the Autobots not noticing the blue girl hidden behind the door, listening “You could have hacked the pod and traveled to any Autobot outpost in the galaxy nearby your original position.” “I'm glad ya know me so well, Prime..” said Blaster as he stood forward towards Optimus “Ya are right. I could have just hacked and even flew back home, but I have been waiting too much time, sat in front of the communications computer, while that son of a glitch was here, with his spark still beating. I promised two Bots I would take him down myself..and I intend to do that.” “Hey, chill down your steam, Blaster,” said Arcee as she stepped in and placed her hand in his yellow chest “We do no revenge..It never solves anything.” “Oh, that’s funny coming from ya,” he said slapping away her hand, the other Autobots surprised by such comment he said “Ya should tell that to Beachcomber and Ramhorn…” Rainbow Dash was too surprised by such way that the new Autobot was acting. Turning around, Blaster started to walk away, his metal feet stomp the ground and shake it under the girl’s feet, stumbling and falling on her ass on her hiding spot just in time as he kept walking away out of the bridge, his clanking steps echoes across the corridor as he makes his way. Dash could only watch as she blinked shocked, wondering of what could be talking about. Or what grudge he had against who. In other place… In a city, Thunderblast and Soundwave stood on top of the tallest building as she watched the lives of humans, away from curious eyes, from any random human or the Autobots allies, while waiting for Starscream to arrive by flight mode from the Nemesis. Soundwave was only standing, looking around to the horizon as he talked to what is supposed to be Megatron. Thunderblast’s optics zoomed in and out and skipped around from one human to another, seeing how they acted, worked, argued, etc. She occasionally giggled like a child, catching the blue Decepticon’s attention. “So these are the Earth’s inhabitants called humans. They look soooo cute moving around like primitive nanobots,” she said smiling before looking at Soundwave “The Autobots are so lucky to have them as pets..Hey, Soundy! You think after we kill the Bots and enslave this world, I can have one?” she asked, but with no reply “Soundy? Helloooo? Are you still listening to that voice you call ‘Megatron’?” “Silence!” he replied, making her blink and cross her arms annoyed, sticking her tongue out at him before he looked away “My Lord..we await your orders. What must we do to accomplish your success?” “It is good to hear you still remain loyal to me, my old friend..” said Megatron through the comlink “My spark remains active, thanks to the Dark Energon and the power of the Allspark, but sadly..I cannot say the same to my body. The technology is primitive, but it will do with the right plans to build a new one..I will trust this task to you, but Soundwave..Keep this between you and..her.” he said with a darker voice “Starscream must not know about my..special surprise planned for him.” Suddenly a jet noise was heard overhead both Decepticons slowly turned their heads to the direction of the disturbance they saw a red, white and blue fighter jet flying towards them. The F-22 hovered above them once it got closer started transforming into robot mode and landed on his feet, standing up. “Finally, I have found you, Soundwave,” said Starscream he looked to Thunderblast “Thunderblast..this is an unexpecting visit. I thought you were with Strika and the others.” “Oh Screamy! I couldn’t resist visiting the new leader of us all,” she said placing her arms around him,he blinked repeatedly, surprised by her strong endless hug “And it wasn't much of choice too, that annoying Strika was ordering me to chase our ‘important prisoner’ and..Hum, something else that I can't remember?” said Thunderblast rubbing her chin. “Nevermind that. I have a plan ready to be prepared and set in motion,” he said as he holded her arms and pushed her aside “Even though disobeying my orders, the Decepticons favor for the return of our recent...weapon. And, thanks to Barricade’s wonderful shot, the poor thing will not be able to survive without life support connected to his spark chamber. Lucky we know one place where the most smart human work in the robotic area..On Japan.” Megatron heard all and watched all thanks to Soundwave’s optics and audio-receptores, growling seeing the smirk in his face and the way he spoken like nothing else. But also hearing his plan was an excellent idea for the human that he knows and speaks off. At least he knew what would they do today and what another plan would happen at the same time of Starscream’s attack.
