I stood there, confused, and not alone in that feeling, with only two exceptions, Blaster and Grimlock.
"Alright a weddin' well you have fun with that." Blaster said
"Grimlock think weddings boring!"
"Aww c'mon Grimlock the reception was pretty tight."
"Because you were DJ!"
"What are you two talking about?" Vinyl interrupted
"Friend of ours got married back on earth," He looked at us "Unfortunately these clowns made us cut it short when they tried to siphon energy from a wind farm"
"Wait...what?"
"A time that is behind us." Shockwave explained calmly
"Maybe for you fools, but I intend to rule over all the universe!" Starscream shouted obnoxiously, we all rolled our optics
"Starscream even I can guess what will happen if you try that." Vinyl said making the Autobots and Minicons laugh lightly, Shockwave and I kept out stoic expressions.
Starscream began fuming "I'll destroy you all!" he shouted as he produced his sword from his foreleg and tried to dash at Vinyl, but I stuck my foreleg out and tripped him. His face hit the floor first, causing most of us to laugh again.
"Shut up! I-I'll kill you all!" he shouted before darting out the door and flying off
Vinyl was still laughing but all of us went silent with worried looks.
"Whats wrong?" she asked
"He's going to skulk around-" I started
"-Then he'll monologue to himself for about an hour about how he hates us-" Shockwave continued
"-Then whiny con bot will make new friends-" Grimlock continued
"-Only to be destroyed by the Autobots or Megatron, then he'll come crawling back like nothing happened" Blaster finished.
Vinyl looked at us befuddled "H-how...do you guys-"
"This happens about every month or so" I interrupted.
"You're kidding?" she asked skeptically
We all looked at her with straight faces before Shockwave continued "So what's this about a wedding?"
Vinyl began beaming "Oh yeah it's between the captain of the royal guard Shining Armor and Princess Cadence."
"Brother to Twilight Sparkle?" Shockwave asked
"How do you know that?" Vinyl asked
"She's told me much about her own life, partially against my wishes, and informed me of the existence of her brother, although she doesn't seem aware of this situation. Which logic dictates that she'll get an invitation which will be extended to her close friends, meaning that they'll have to bring us along."
Grimlock let out a disgruntled groan "Grimlock no want go to wedding! Grimlock want stay on farm and hit trees!"
"C'mon Grimlock it could be fun. We ain't been to a pony wedding before." Blaster said enthusiastically.
"Grimlock still no like it..." He said pouting
Blaster laughed "C'mon Grimlock we got stuff ta do." Blaster said as he and Grimlock left Vinyl's house
"I must continue my research of this world, farewell." Shockwave said as he took his leave leaving me, my Minicons and Vinyl alone.
"So umm...about Starscream" she asked
"Laserbeak." I said before she could go on. Laserbeak flew to my side and stood at attention. "Alert the guard captain, Shining Armor of an impending threat upon Canterlot." With that Laserbeak flew off into the night to bring the message.
"How will he know who Shining Armor is?"
"The one with armor different than others, along with a talent mark reflecting his ability to defend others, and facial features somewhat similar to that of Twilight Sparkle."
She looked at me with a blank stare "I think I'm done trying to figure out your guys' amazing ability to know everything about everything."
I laughed once before making my way to my room to rest for the night.
-------
I flew off in the woods to let out some anger...mainly by leveling part of it in my robotic form.
"Damn them!" I shouted as I swung at another tree with my sword "I will be ruler of the universe...I just need help. Then again...the last few times I acquired help it didn't really work out..." I began thinking back to all my schemes that involved others from releasing the Combaticons from their prison to receiving aid from Medevil humans. Then again on both those occasions they were either capable of overpowering me or rather useless. I needed an ally who wouldn't be able to do either of those things, perhaps I needed a more loyal companion, one who would be able to keep up with my brilliant plans, but who....
"You look like a guy who wants revenge, I think I can help you"
I turned to the sound of the voice with my null rays pointed at it "Where are you! Face the mighty Starscream!"
The voice laughed at me "My my, you think quite highly of yourself Starscream, for one who's life is a constant failure."
"I never fail!"
The voice laughed even harder than before "Never! I saw your attempt to work for Discord, and that worked fabulously, not to mention the fact that you are so easily predicted in your plans. After all you're out here looking for an ally to help you in your hastily put together scheme are you not?"
"How do you know all this?"
"I have eyes and ears everywhere Starscream."
I fired a shot at where I thought the voice was coming from, only to be greeted by more laughter "You should work on your aim."
"Shut up!" I fired a barrage of bolts in all directions, until my arms were caught by some unseen force, then covered in a green substance that hardened instantly, blocking my null rays. The same substance engulfed my feet and knees causing me to fall over. Footsteps came from the bushes and I looked up seeing a twisted insect like version of the normal equine population, it had holes throughout it's legs, a jagged horn, and tattered wings.
"I know you respect power Starscream, and I'm about to be in possession of the greatest power source my kind can acquire on this planet. I'd like you to join me."
"What's in it for me then?" I asked the creature
"You and I shall rule this land, from there the universe will follow." She smiled a smile that inspired confidence in me, it is a smile I bear when my clever plans are devised
"Very well then..." I trailed off not knowing her name
"Chrysalis, Queen Chrysalis, and you will do well to address me properly."
I smiled my trademark smile "Of course...my queen..."
