Sound Wave was walking through the corridors of the Decepticon base.  He had some very important information for Megatron.  He had reached the fighting arena were Megatron was at his throne.

"My lord Megatron."

"Sound Wave what is it."

"I have some information for you."

"If it is about the assault on the space Bridge I already know.  It is of no concern there are many other space bridges that can be taken and we have a few of our own."

"It does have to do  with the assault but, I think you will want to hear this."

"Very well."

"You remember how I reported about the space bridge transporting the Dinobots."

"Yes."

"Along with Laser Beak's disappearance."

"Go on."

"I have received a transmission from Laser Beak.  He seems to be in a far off quadrant perhaps another universe."

"Let him rust for all I care we our not going to send out an attempt for rescue."

"I am not finished, it appears the universe or world Laser Beak sent the transmission from, is filled with a unique never ending source of energon."

"Continue."

"Laser Beak  has also sent us the exact coordinates to where he is."

Megatron stands up as a sinister smile forms on his face. "Sound Wave prepare the Decepticons to be deployed and ready our space bridge.  We have energon to harvest."

Grimlock and the dinobots had gotten used to things already.  They had only been in Equestria for about a week.  All the Dinobots had learned about Equestria and it's rich history.  They have helped many ponies around Ponyville in need of help.
Even though the Dinobots were in a different place with different rules, didn't stop them from being Dinobots.  The Dinobots were having a good old wrestling match.  Grimlock and sludge were throwing punches and would tackle each other.  Twilight had to end it though because she and Grimloick were called to Canterlot on important business.  They had arrived in Canterlot.  Twilight and Grimlock had discussed a few things with Celestia.  They mostly talked about Grimlock and how he was doing what he thought so far of Equestria and Ponyville.  They had finished and Celestia had requested to speak to Twilight, alone.

Twilight walks up to Celestia's room and knocks on the door.  "Come in."

"Hi Princess."

"Hello Twilight how are the Dinobots doing?"

"Oh, there doing fine."

"Have they learned a lot about us and Eqeustria."

"Yes, I've gone through and taught them about Equestria and it's history.  While my friends taught them the basics."

"That's good."

"Actually the reason I came was to talk too you was about the Dinobots."

"What's wrong."

"I wanted to see how finding a way to get them home was coming."

"Not so good I've looked at almost every major magical spells to teleport and nothing even is powerful enough to send them home."

"There has to be some way."

"Trust me I am not giving up yet."

"What if we can't get them home.  We will teach everything about Equestria but they will still be outcasts."

"Don't give up yet Twilight we will find a way."

"I hope so."

Grimlock had come with Twilight to Canterlot to see Princess Celestia.  She had told him to wait for Celestia and her to be done.  As Grimlock was waiting he decided to snoop and see what the two were discussing.  He had heard that they maay not be able to get home.  Grimlock felt like his spark had just slowly dissolve away as he heard this.  He heard the two coming back out and quickly made for the waiting area.  They came walking out the door.  "Alright Grimlock time to go."

"Okay Twilight."

Grimlock was thinking about what he had heard and talk to Twilight about it.  He decided not to though there was a better time and place for it.  Grimlock was thinking how the other Dinobots would respond to the news.  Better not tell them he thought.   They were staying in Canterlot for the night.  Grimlock was led to his quarters in the castle.  He had made sure to fill up on energy from Twilight's magic before they went their separate ways for the night.  He was thinking about how earlier that day he had gone to Flutter Shy's to see how Snarl was doing.  Snarl and Flutter Shy introduced him to all of her animals.  Snarl had animals riding around on his spines the entire time Grimlock was there.  He also remembered how Slug was helping Apple Jack buck down apples from the trees.  At first for Slug it took a while because he would always knock over the trees which, made Apple Jack cross with Slug.  He realized soon that he was using to much force so he lightened the kicks.  Snarl and Apple Jack had collected a good amount of apples that day.  Even if they didn't get home they wouldn't be useless.  The Dinobots would have meaning.  As Grimlock contemplated he slowly fell into a deep stasis.  Grimlock dreamed of home again.  He saw all his friends and just which so much to be back in Cybertron. "Grimlock."

"MMMMMM wha..."

"Grimlock we have to head back to Ponyville."

"Okay".

Twilight and Grimlock were heading towards the blimp.  Grimlock was looking at the scenery, when something unusual caught his eye.  He saw a strange blur fly by and land on a rooftop.  It looked like Laser Beak.  He thought his processors were fuzzy and shook his head.  He looked back and there was nothing there.  He concluded that he was seeing things and moved on.  "Are you alright" Twilight asked with concern.

"I'll be fine I thought I saw something."

"You sure?"

"Yes."

Grimlock and Twilight boarded the blimp and where back on there way to Ponyville.

"Hey Twilight."

"Yes Grimlock."

"Is it true we may not be able to get back to Cybertron."

Twilight stiffened up as she heard this and didn't know how to reply back.  The words stuttered out of her mouth  "Th... that's a silly thing to say, of course you will get home."

Grimlock gave her a long stare like he was looking deep within her inner being.  He then got up too walk out of the room.
"Wait!  You heard us talking didn't you."

"Yes.  I'm sorry that I did that..."

"No Grimlock don't apologize you have every right to hear what we spoke about."

"Why?"

"Well it does have to do with you and getting home and I believe you should know any information in regards to the Dinobots."

"Thanks but, will we get home?"

Twilight didn't know how to respond.  Grimlock walked back over and slowly sunk back where he was previously sitting.  Twilight looked at Grimlock looked so sad and depressed.  If Grimlock could shed a tear it would be now at this moment.  He was slowly losing himself to the idea that they may never get back home.  Twilight could see that he had feelings even though he was an automaton.  "Grimlock."

"Yes."

"It may be hard for you right now but, I promise you will get home."

"How do you know for sure."

"I don't, but I know you will."

"Thanks, I guess."

Twilight at first was a little disturbed when Grimlock had told her that he was listening.  She didn't care now though, Grimlock had every right to know this information.  All she could know is comfort Grimlock, she felt like it was going to be a long blimp ride.  

Princess Celestia sat in her room looking over more spells on teleportation.  She had been at it for hours and was getting tired.  Celestia decided to take a break and went out for a little walk to get some fresh air.  Laser Beak was on a high perch over looking all of Canterlot looking for more unicorns to get energy from.  The aura signature of a unicorn's magic and energon had the same energy pattern.   While magic had more attributes and capabilities, it was a power source.  Laser Beak had sent this information to the Decepticons because he knew it would peak Megatron's interest.  Laser Beak had received a message stating that the Decepticons would come.  He processed that it would be only a short amount of time before Megatron would arrive at most a few cycles.  For the time being, he had to rely on himself to get Energon.  He scoped out a few more places until he found his prey, Princess Celestia.  She walking along as Laser Beak, unbeknownst to her stealthily flew towards her.  He then dove down for the kill.  He was so close to reaching his objective until luckily for Princess Celestia a guard had spotted him heading towards her.  "Princess, behind you!"

She turns to look behind her to see Laser Beak coming for her.  Out of instinct she shoots a blast of magic.  It grazes Laser Beak on the wing.  He checks to see if the damage is serious after retreating into some bushes.   Laser Beak calculates that if he received a blast like that directly he would go off line and high tailed out of there.  A few guards run up to check to see if she was okay.  "Yes" she replied to them.

She was okay, and told the guards to sent out a search party to find whatever attempted to attack her.  She then hurriedly went back to her room she had to write a letter to Twilight.

Megatron stood before the space bridge waiting for the attack to commence.  It was not that far from being played out now.  He dreamed on how all the energon collected would increase their favor in the war.  While his troops were energized, Optimus' Autobots  would be scavenging for the even the slightest amount of energon they could get their processors on.  He was delighted at this thought and imagined more horrible fates for the Autobots.  "Soon Optimus I will have your head and all of Cybertron will be mine.  But first to take care of this pathetic world and "relieve" it of energon."

"The Decpticon force I have readied will take down this puny race easily.  Soon all of my force will have more than enough energon to take Cybertron and defeat the Autobot cowards, and not even the great Primus himself can stop us."

Celestia had frantically written the letter to Twilight.  She knew something strange was going but couldn't put her hoof on it.  She thought Grimlock and the Dinobots would be able to answer any questions she had about the attacker.  It had looke like it was made out of the same material the Dinobots were and it looked mechanical so she would ask them first.  She had numbing voice telling her there was a bigger picture than just that small incident.  She shrugged it off thinking maybe it was an ally of the Dinobots and all of them were unaware that the other was here.  "Stop worrying yourself Celestia everything will be fine."

Luna had heard of the news that her sister was attacked and came almost immediately.  She ran into her sister's room  "Celestia are you alright?"

"Yes I'm fine Luna."

"Who attacked you?"

"I have know idea it was some metallic bird."

"Really I'll...."

"Luna it's okay I already sent a search party out to find it.  In the meantime however I wrote Twilight about the incident and she is coming back with the Dinobots, so come and meet them as we have dinner, at least Twilight and I."

"Celestia you can't possibly go out again until this thing is found."

"Luna I'll be safe we know now that I need guarding, and I'll probably be safer with the Dinobots."

"Whatever you say sis."

"I'll think you will find the Dinobots very entertaining.  They are quite some characters."

"Okay Celestia, this will probably be the most interesting dinner, I have been too in a long time."

"It most certainly will be, interesting for me as well."
