1 year later.
On the planet Equestria, was the great Crystal Empire. It was ruled by Princess Cadence and Prince Shinning Armour, along with their daughter, Princess Flutterby Lily.
This royal family were enjoying dinner in their castle, Shinning Armour and his wife sat at either end of a long table, Flutterby Lily sat at a chair in the centre. Cadence said to Flutterby, "Have you spoken to any of your friends from Ponyville, honey?"
The young princess replied, "No Mother, I haven't seen Screwy or her friends since the Grand Galloping Gala two years ago."
Shinning Armour entered the conversation with, "Have you met your cousin yet, Twily had her baby a few months ago?"
Once again, the princess just shook her head. The family dinner say much after that, they just continued eating the meal.
Outside the castle, the royal guards were protecting every entrance to the giant structure. At the play park, a few feet from the castle, one little filly looked to the sky and saw something.
The child turned to her parents and said, "Mommy, Daddy, look. It's a spaceship."
The mother of the filly explained, "Moonpie, you know not to make things up. It's called lying."
"No Mommy, look at the sky."
The two adult ponies looked to where their daughter was pointing, and saw it for themselves. Decepticon Dropships were being flown towards the empire. When the ponies saw the incoming threat, they all picked up their children and ran for their lives.
The Dropships landed, some ponies were scared, but also confused. The ships didn't move, one would only assume nothing was going to happen.
Until the door of the ships opened fully, from these opening, ponies could see what was coming. They all ran as a swarm of Insecticons flooded the streets of the Crystal Empire. Also from the ship, was the Fallen, Demolisher and Megatronus himself.
"Demolisher." The titan ordered. "Take me to the castle."
The Decepticon brute transformed into a giant tank, Megatronus was able to climb into the passenger seat, they both sped off to the castle.
Shinning Armour heard some strange noises coming from outside, so he looked out the window to investigate. When he saw the creature attacking his citizens, he gasped in shock. Cadence walked closer to her husband and saw the Insecticons as well.
"Those look like the creatures that attacked Ponyville five years ago." she explained.
The princess remembered how Twilight described them, they were monsters compared to ponies. But they were all defeated and sent away from the planet. The Autobots came to Equestria, with their human friends and vanquished those evil creatures.
"Cadence, Take Flutterby Lily to her room and stay there." Shinning Armour explained. "I need to go help my soldiers."
Cadence and Shinning Armour quickly kissed before the princess took her daughter up to her room. The captain of the royal guard was led outside by two soldiers, it was time to go into battle.
=================================================
Cadence and Flutterby Lily were on their way to the bed chambers, but something stopped them along the way.
Crashing through the castle walls, a large beetle like Insecticon marched in front of them. The creature spoke in a terrifying voice tone.
"Surrender the relic princess."
Cadence assumed it was talking about the Crystal heart, so she took her daughter and ran away from the giant bug. The Insecticon transformed into it's robot mode and ran after them.
Outside the castle, Shinning Armour was suited in his armour and led his troops into battle.
Unicorns were blasting the enemy with their horn magic, the Pegasus soldiers were dropping rocks from above, & the earth ponies were in groups of four and carried battering rams; they charged at the creatures and smashed into their bodies.
Shinning Armour was blasting at the Insecticons, he noticed the Fallen standing by the ships, he thought 'That must be the leader'. So the prince charged for the Decepticon, whilst firing at him with his magic.
The Fallen noticed the unicorn coming at him, so he used his telekinesis to create a dirt was around him. Shinning blasted through the wall and came face to face with the Fallen.
"Call off this attack, Decepticon!" the captain ordered.
But the Fallen simply looked down at the tiny prince and replied, "I don't give the orders, weakling. I just over see the battle."
The Decepticon knocked Shinning Armour away, he landed in the middle of the battlefield. He was to injured to move, so all he could do was watch his men get defeated by the army of monsters.
Back inside the castle, Cadence and Flutterby Lily entered the Crystal Heart chamber, the Insecticon had lost their trail. The princesses were safe, for now.
"Mother, what are these creatures?!" Flutterby asked.
Cadence was to busy worrying for Shinning Armour to answer, he was out there, on the battlefield.
Her thoughts were put on hold when the door opened, revealing two large Decepticons. Megatronus and Demolisher marched into the room.
"Greetings, your highnesses." the titan said.
Cadence stared at the Decepticon monster standing before her. "Who are you?" she asks.
"I am Megatronus. The First Decepticon, the true Emperor of Destruction."
Cadence moves closer to her daughter, they both stood by the crystal heart, protecting it at all costs. But Megatronus moved closer to them, trying get what he came for.
"I won't let you take the Crystal Heart!" Cadence cried.
But the Decepticon chuckle at her statement, he then reaches down to grab something. Flutterby covers the Crystal Heart and closes her eyes, when she opens them, she sees that it was her mother who was picked up. Megatronus held the princess in his mighty grip.
"Who ever said I wanted that thing."
The titan uses his free hand to reach for Cadence's crown, with the tips of his fingers, he gently grabs the jewel. With a simple pluck, the held the glowing purple jewel in his hand.
The Decepticon drops Cadence to the ground, her daughter rushes to her aid. Megatronus looks at his left arm, on the back of his hand, were six empty slots. He places the purple jewel in the first available slot.
Once the stone was in place, he felt the power surge through his body, he looks at the stone and mutters, "One down, five to go."
The Decepticon turns to Demolisher and orders, "Tell the troops to return to the ship, were down here." The brute nods and runs back to the Dropships.
The Insecticons begin to flock back to the ships, once everyone is onboard, they flew back to the ship.
Shinning Armour got up and watched the ships fly away, he was confused on why they would attack, but not take over the empire. All Shinning Armour could ask was....
"What did they get?"
