//------------------------------// // Counter Parts // Story: My Giant Dinobots // by Ultron 5 //------------------------------// "Well all of this you have told me is very interesting. The war, Autobots and Decepticons, Cybertron it all sounds fascinating. Besides the war with the Decepticons" said Celestia "Me Grimlock see many Autobots loose their spark in battle. We continue on for them and for freedom". "The Autobots sound very noble indeed". "Enough about me Grimlock. Tell me about Equestria". "Well you see Grimlock I wanted to learn about you and the Dinobots. I have asked Twilight Sparkle and four of her friends to volunteer individually and take a Dinobot each to show them everything about Equestria". "You mean us Dinobots split up"? "For now, it would just make it easier with a one on one approach. You will all still get to see each other and while they teach you everything I am going to find a way to get you back home". "Okay, we Dinobots are going to separate and learn about Equestria". In harmony all the other Dinobots groaned. "We are in Equestria and Princess Pony knows best. Me Grimlock meant Princess Celestia knows best for us while we are here and don't attack anyone because unicron magic hurts. I mean unicorn magic hurts". "Thank you Grimlock. Girls pick the Dinobot you want to teach and have stay with you...." "WAIT DID I HEAR RIGHT? WE GET TO PICK A DINOBOT. I'M GONNA PICK GRIMLOCK". "Pinkie I already talked with Princess Celestia about getting Grimlock. She requested this since he is the leader of the Dinobots after all". "Aww man, I geuss I'll take... OHH THE ONE WITH THE LONG NECK. HI WHAT'S YOUR NAME I'M PINKIE PIE". "Me Sludge". "GREAT WE'RE GONNA HAVE SO MUCH FUN TOGETHER COME ON LET'S GO BAKING. NO WAIT LET'S GO PRANKING. HEY YOU SHOULD MEET MY PET ALLIGATOR GUMMY"! Pinkie continued to talk on and on as she and Sludge walked out of the room. Grimlock was worried about how sludge would handle things but he knew Sludge wouldn't do anything bad, so he just decided to move on. "It's a no brainer for me I'm taking Swoop here" replied Rainbow Dash. "I guess that means Apple Jack will get Slug right here. What about Snarl? I know for sure Rarity will not want to watch over any of the Dinobots". "What is wrong with us Dinobots". "Oh nothing, it's just Rarity has a lot of orders of dresses to finish. Also, I am worried about her first impression of you guys". "So what happens to Snarl"? "I guess we have to ask Flutter Shy". "Uh, Twilight are you sure that is such a good idea" asked Rainbow. "I know Rainbow but, we have to find a friend that can watch over him. Besides if the introduction goes smoothly between the two we have nothing to worry about". "I'll help you with getting Flutter Shy calmed down and comfortable for the introduction". "Thanks Rainbow it will make things a lot easier". "So where are we going" asked Grimlock. "To Flutter Shy's cottage" replied Twilight. The trip back to Ponyville was not as bad as the trip to Canterlot. Not as many questions were riddling Grimlock's head. The Dinobots would still have to seperate and Grimlock was not sure if that was the best idea. When he experienced the blast from Twilight sparkle it was a pain indescribable. He did not want to make enemies with the ponies and they seemed like they were not hostile. The Dinobots were also in a unfamiliar place so he decided best to go with what the ponies wanted. As soon as they arrived in Ponyville they headed off to Flutter Shy's cottage. They stopped by Apple Acres first to drop off Slug. "Golly Twi, Slag here is sure impressive". "All the Dinobots are, well we should go Apple Jack. We need to take Snarl here to Flutter Shy's". "You sure that will work out all right"? "I hope so Apple Jack". They had made it to Flutter Shy's fairly quickly. Now it was a matter of making a good impression for Snarl. Twilight and Rainbow had walked inside to talk to Flutter Shy first before the introduction to Snarl. Grimlock, Snarl, and Swoop were waiting outside and Snarl started a conversation. "Do you think we will ever get home." "Me Grimlock have no idea". "I don't think I can last long in this place" replied Swoop "Tell me about it" said Snarl. "Do we really have to split up Grimlock"? "Yes we do Swoop". "Why"? "It will help us learn more about this place and it's customs". "I don't want to". "Yes you will". "No I won't". "Yes you will". "No"! "Yes"! "NO"! Swoop and Grimlock were about to get at it when Snarl sees a small white bunny scared out of it's wits. The fight that Grimlock and Swoop were having had scared the crap out of it. Snarl yells "Stop you two"! He then proceeds to walk over to the bunny. Even while Snarl approaches, the bunny is just sitting there staring at him too shocked and frightened to move. Swoop and Grimlock watched in silence as Snarl got nearer to the bunny. Snarl had no idea what to do but something compelled to him to transform from his dino form, and then gently picks up the bunny and starts cradling it. Snarl had no idea why he was doing this. He thought to himself "maybe because it is so harmless and weak" or "it needs comfort from being scared from Grimlock and Swoop's fight". "How sweet, does mommy Snarl want some energon for his baby" cackled Swoop. "Or, some mommy and me classes" added Grimlock. As Snarl cradles the rabbit it starts to doze off. A smile then forms on it's face as it had just fallen to sleep. Grimlock and Swoop are trying to hold in their laughter on how stupid Snarl looks but can't contain themselves. As this is happening Twilight and Rainbow are walking out with Flutter Shy in tow. Flutter Shy was scared but she trusted her friends judgement about these Dinobots and Snarl. Flutter Shy witnesses Grimlock and Swoop teasing and laughing their heads off at Snarl. She looks to Snarl and sees him cradling the rabbit. She did not like seeing them pick on Snarl. Her instincts kick in and runs up to confront Grimlock and Swoop. "Excuse me sirs but don't laugh at him". "Wait, what" replied Grimlock. "What I mean to say is you are making fun of him and I request you stop". "Make me". Flutter Shy tried being assertive but now she had to use her secret weapon. Flutter Shy then proceeded to use the stare on Grimlock. It took a good couple of minutes before the stare worked on Grimlock. Not in a matter of minutes Grimlock and Swoop were both apologizing to Snarl and they also apologized to everypony else. Snarl had accepted their apology. Flutter Shy walked up to Grimlock and Swoop "Apology accepted and thank you". Flutter Shy walks up to Snarl and says "You are very good there with Angel. Why don't you come out back and see all my other animals". With Snarl behind her they headed towards the back of her cottage and she says "See you tomorrow girls". Twilight and Rainbow Dash dumfounded by everything they had just witnessed. The Two still contemplating on how easy and smoothly that introduction went as they left and headed towards their homes. Rainbow Dash had taken the flying rout with Swoop maintaing a constant speed with her. Twilight and Grimlock however had to walk back. They finally made it back to the library. Spike was so excited to see Grimlock again. He was asking him so many questions but Twilight told him to quite down. Twilight had to figure out how to get Grimlock into the library so she just decided to teleport him inside he fit inside the main room but it was snug. Twilight retrieved a few books for Grimlock to read about Equestria and it's ponies and how they do things. Grimlock couldn't read it because it wasn't in Cybertronian. So Twilight had to read it for him nad give him lectures but Grimlcok had something urgent pop up in his mind. "Do you have any energon". "Ener-what" replied Twilight. "Energon is our life blood and if we don't get any for prolonged periods we can go offline". "I am afraid we don't but that is a major problem.... wait I do have an idea". "What is it"? "Unicorns could turn on machinery and give it power with a special spell. I just have to find it let's see here.......ah ha found. This spell should be easy to do". "Okay then do it". Twilight then shot a beam of pure energy into Grimlock. Grimlock felt like he was getting showered by a rust storm. Twilight finished the spell and asked "How do you feel"? "Energized. You should probably should go and do this spell on the other Dinobots. They will need some energy for sure". "Okay then I will go do that. Spike"! "Yes Twilight stay here and finish up Grimlock's lesson I'll be back soon". "Can I come with you"? "No, you should stay here and finish learning about Equestria Grimlock. I will be back shortly, you two have fun". The Ever Free forest was usually alive with activity this time of day just before dusk when all the monsters would come out and all the little animals would start to hide. But one in particular thing was off. A metallic bird was laying on the ground and an animal came over to sniff it and was treated to a surprising zap of electricity. The animal scampered off. Laser Beak's system had rebooted. He got up and checked his surroundings., they were unfamiliar. He took to the air and looked at the surroundings, again not familiar. Laser Beak flew toward what looked like a small settlement. He scanned the area for any intelligent beings. Many ponies were being monitored by Laser Beak but, one caught his attention the most. His scanners picked up a unicorn on a stroll down the street alone at dusk. A significant energy was coming out of it's horn, it gave off a reading similar to that of energon. More importantly for Laser Beak it could be used as a means of contacting the Decepticons. Laser Beak had the technology to hack and control Autobots and computers. Organics were never often seen by Cybertronians but Laser Beak had the ability to scan an organics brain. He stalked the unicorn for about twenty minutes then he moved in for the kill. There was deep thunk sound as Laser Beak inserted his scanner it took only seconds for Laser Beak to absorb the data. Due to the strange energy signature on the unicorn he used it's magic to send a message to the Decepticons giving them data and quadrants of the dimension from were he was. Laser Beak flew away leaving a unconscious mare. The Deceptiocns would receive his message soon. Twilight had returned from giving all the Dinobots energy. This interesting day had made her hungry and tired. "So how did the lessons go". "They went fine but were boring" Grimlock said bored out of his mind. "Well a good nights sleep should help". "What are we doing tomorrow"? "Oh, we are going to go around Ponyville and you'll get to meet everypony and see the town". Grimlock added "And learn more about Equestria". "Yep and you'll get to see Slug, Swoop, Snarl, and Sludge". "Yeah more learning". "Learning is not that bad". "It truly is the worst thing ever". "Grimlock you are so funny". Spike calls to tell Twilight Dinner is ready. "Grimlock would like to come join us? I know you can't eat our food but more just for novelty". "No I am going to go for a walk". "Do you know your way back here"? "Yes". "Alright just be careful". "I will". "OH wait let me teleport you out of the house". "I forgot about that". So Grimlock was teleported out of the library and he began his walk. He looked up at the night sky it was a lot more beautiful than Cybertron's Grimlock thought to himself. He was walking along looking at the buildings he'll most likely visit the next day. All of a sudden he heard a scream. Grimlock thought somebody was scared of him so he turned around to tell them not be worried about him but it wasn't him at all. A pony ran pass him and was looking a a Ursa Major that had found it's way into town and it was pissed. Grimlock pulls out his sword and says "Your not so big".
