//------------------------------// // The universal greeting? // Story: Equestrians- A 1987 Transformers: The movie Parody // by Vector-Brony //------------------------------// Derpy was starting to come around from the crash. The last thing she remembered was the ship breaking in two and sliding down the mountain. She felt a cold breeze across her face and as she opened her eyes she noticed that the cockpit was full of snow and debris. She looked around and could see no sign of Rainbow Dash. As she stood up the ship groaned under her hoofs. It was obvious that it wasn't going to last much longer. She had to find the others. "Rainbow Dash? Scootaloo? Spitfire. Sweetiebelle! Any pony!" from the opposite side of the cockpit came a muffled sound. "hhhhmmmmm" Derpy ran to the source of the noise. She started to dig with her hoofs through the snow. She came upon an piece of hull and banged with her hoof. "Who's their?." It was Rainbow Dash! Derpy Quickly found the edge and lifted it away to reveal a Injured Rainbow Dash with a couple of shards of metal protruding from her wing. With a lot of whining from Rainbow Dash, Derpy lifted her out onto the snow. "Rainbow. Speak to me." She groaned and looked up at Derpy. "Fix me up Derpy." Derpy started to grab all the Equipment that was left in the wreckage. She found a medi-kit, Field rations, a Blaster and some survival clothing. Then the ship shook again! She quickly put the Gear into a bag and grabbed Rainbow Dash who had passed out where she lay. She pulled her onto the mountain side just in time. The Ship began to slide again but this time as it gained speed it hit a large Rocky outcrop, which broke the ship into hundreds of pieces. Meanwhile Twilight and her friends had the Junklands within view. It was a place where every this was disposed of. Ships, rubble anything and everything a wagon could unload. And they were planning to make a landing. The ship was getting closer and closer to the ground. Up in the Cockpit, they were having trouble. Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie were at the rear control panel. "It's no good Twilight! The Landing gear won't go down." The ship hit a piece of Protruding mental and caused the ship to shake violently. "Brace for impact!" With a bang the ship touched the ground. It slid for a long time till it finally skidded to a halt. Inside everypony had been knocked of their feet except pinkie pie. "wowie that was fun lets go again." Twilight lifted herself up and rubbed her sore head. "Everypony all right?" from under a console Applebloom poke her head out. "Twilight. I reckon the auto pilot deserves the sack for that landing." Using their magic. Rarity and twilight pulled the hatch door open to reveal an endless realm of Junk. Rarity shuddered at the sight of such disorder. "Urgh. This must be the junk capital of Equestria.!" Twilight quickly made up a list of repairs and pulled on a tool saddle. "Let's see if we can salvage this thing. They walked outside and started to sieve through the junk for any spare parts. From a far a group of Gryphon's and Ponies stood watching their visitors. A large orange Gryphon called Hookbeak looked on angrily. "Stop thief! No welcome-wagon, "Hello stranger" Cup of cider for you." The grey stallion next to him spoke in the same strange way. "yeah or you money back" The group moved over to a rusty cannon and started to get it working again. Hookbeak looked on with a grin. "The Offer expires while you wait. Operators are standing by." Rainbow Dash started to come around. She felt a warm feeling flowing through her. As she opened her eyes she saw a fire had been started and that she was inside a cave. Derpy sat on the opposite Side, eating a field ration. Rainbow felt her wing and found that all the Shards had been pulled out and a small set of plasters were all that were left. "your wing is fine. The injuries were only surface wounds." Rainbow Dash sat upright a looked around. Her and Derpy were the only ones there. "What happened to the others?" Derpy looked grim. "I don't know. They must have been in the rear when we crashed. I couldn't find the crash site as I had to treat you first." Rainbow stood up and tested he wings. Their was no pain and she lifted off the ground with ease. Well theirs no time to waste then. Lets divide up the gear, find the others and get out of this Icy hell. The fire was doused and the gear loaded. They stepped out into the daylight and they look onto a plain of snow and ice, on the far side they could see smoke whispering out from behind a large hill. They both took to the sky and headed strait for the smoke, hoping it to be the Wonderbolts and the fillies. As they got closer they saw that it was from a small village. They houses were squat and round and many ponies wrapped in furs walked about. The two of them landed in the centre of the village and soon they were being surrounded by curious ponies. Derpy went for the blaster but Rainbow Dash stopped her. "Don't act hostile. Were out numbered." Derpy looked at her and gave a suggestion. "Why don't you try the universal greeting." Rainbow dashes face showed discomfort at the idea. "No way am I using that silly line. It's ridiculous. Just offer them some food and they'll reciprocate." so the two of them pulled all the food from their bags and offered it to the nearest villagers. Within seconds they were swapped with hungry ponies grabbing every scrap they could get their hoofs on!" Derpy was getting worried at their aggressive behaviour. "I thought you said they would reciprocate. No more" All the ponies stopped and took a step back. Their expression's were all angry. Rainbow Dash shook her bag at them. "Empty." In less than a second the ponies in front of them all burst into green flame and were replace by a swarm of black creatures with holes in their hoofs and glazed blue eyes. "CHANGELINGS!" Cried out Rainbow Dash, just before they were swamped by a torrent of them. From the top of a roof a small Scootaloo watched as Dash and Derpy were dragged away. She slid down the opposite Side and used her wings to flap clumsily to the floor. She ran as fast as she could to the distant tree line. As she got close she whistled softly. From the trees came Sweetie bell, relieved to see her. "what did you find Scoots, was their any pony their and did they have any food." Scootaloo shook her head. "They were changeling! They've taken Rainbow Dash and Derpy." Sweetie Bell was scared at this news she remembered the attack on Canterlot a few years ago. "What do we do now? We can't fight Changeling's!" Scootaloo thought for a second. "We need to find Spitfire and the Wonderbolts. They can help us." Rainbow dash and Derpy were pushed thought a hole in the cliff and found themselves inside a the hive. Cocoons hung from the ceiling and the walls were full of infant Changeling's. They reached a large open cavern with a great pit in the centre. Derpy looked over at a large Changeling sitting on a black throne. He was a huge with a long back horn and sharp fangs. He had the same colour hair as Queen Chrysalis but it was tied behind his head. In front of him on a platform jutting out over the pit was a Zebra which Rainbow dash and Derpy never seen before. A changeling in front of him spoke loudly. "Has his imperial majesty reached his verdict?" The Emperor spoke in a deep booming voice. "I Have." "Guilty or Innocent?" "Innocent!" The changeling turned to another at the side. "feed him to the swarm!" with a pull of a lever, the platform dropped the zebra in the blackness with a scream. The screaming continued for a few seconds but soon their was silence. The two pegasi were pushed into a cell and the door was slammed behind them. They looked around and saw bones and bits of creatures all over the cell. Derpy shuddered at the sight. "We need to find a better travel agent." Rainbow looked out the bars to the pit. "what in Equestria is this place?" "The hive of the Changeling's and their tyrannical leader. Emperor Thorax." They both jumped out of their skins at the mysterious voice. Another Zebra walked out of the shadows to talk to the new guests. "My name is Zigzag. My home was destroyed by Discord." They both were shocked to hear that name again. "But that's impossible. He was locked away in stone!" The Zebras face turned bitter. "Discord feeds on chaos. With your civil war, you gave him what he wanted! He is gaining strength before he puts his final plan into action. He eats villages and ponies and absorbs their power. He has become unstoppable." The door to his cell was opened and he was dragged out but two Changeling's. "No please. I'm the last of my tribe. No no" Derpy ran at the bars in anger. "leave him alone! Uuuhhh" A hoof punched her in her gut and made her fall back. One of the Changeling looked at her in pleasure. "Soon it will be your turn" Outside in the cavern, Zigzag's trial was over before it started. "Has his imperial majesty reached a verdict." "I have."The Emperor boombed. Zigzag interrupted. "Spare me your mockery of justice!" He was ignored and the changeling continued. "Guilty or Innocent?" "Innocent!" Zigzag looked in horror at the verdict. But the floor dropped him into the pit. He hit the floor with a thud and mangaged to stand up and looked around into the blackness. He herd noises around him and saw dozens of eyes all around him. He screamed loudly as he was torn apart. Up in the cell they both listened to the horror. Rainbow Dash spoke quietly. "Not an end I would wish on any pony!" Outside of Canterlot, Necro-moon stood at the bow of her Ship looking strait into the dark cloud that was Discord. She was angry at the pain she had suffered for her success. "Discord! Why did you torture me?" "You have failed!" Necro-moon was shocked at this accusation. "No Discord! Twilight sparkle is dead and the Element destroyed!" The element has not been destroyed. And twilight sparkle and her friends are hiding in the Junklands. Stalk her! Tear her apart! And bring me the element. And if you try and destroy the element again, I will show you pain beyond comprehension!" With the fear of Discords power, she quickly set course for the Junklands. Soarin was high in the sky, scouting out the path ahead. They had seen no pony since they had left the wreak of the stern section. He came down and landed in front of the others. "They path is clear Spitfire. But their is still no pony in sight." Spitfire rubbed her chin in confusion. "I thought for sure that their was some pony close." A jeer came from PowerGlide who was brining up the rear. "I think this cold is making you senile, Spitfire. Above them a large piece of snow came falling down. Spitfire bucked Powerglide out of the way just in time. "And I think the cold is making you slower than usual." Powerglide growled at the insult and the pain in his side from the buck. Above them they herd a pair of voices from the source of the snow. Soarin flew up to see who it was and as he got higher he saw it was Scootaloo and Sweetiebelle, both with blue noses from the cold. Spitfire and the others were pleased to see the pair were alive. "Thank Celestia, you two are safe. Have you seen Rainbow Dash or Derpy?" Their expression became serious as they looked at spitfire. "They were taken prisoner by changeling's and taken inside the mountain. Follow us!" Spitfire pulled out her blaster and pulled it on her hoof. She looked over to the others. "Pony up boys! Were paying the Changeling's a visit!" They all cheered together. "Huzzar" Out in the Junklands, Twilight and her friends were making progress on the ships repairs. Twilight was walking around with a list hovering in front of her as she checked the work. "Make sure those components are securely welded." A Groan came from everone as they had herd this over and over. Appleboom's was showing her skills as she was busy re-assembling the fuel manifold with pinkie. "I think I've got it." with a click the manifold came to life. Pinkie looked at the pannel "ooh Pretty" On the far hill, Hookbeak stood with his mixture of ponies and Gryphons all armed and ready. He raised his blaster. "Froward, avantie, apfel and like, go for gusto." The sound of a engines stopped him in mid sentence. He turned around to see a large purple ship surrounded by over a hundred pegasi. On the bridge Necro-moon looked out at the tiny ship on the ground. "There they are!" The mixture of Sweeps, Shadowbolts and warriors swept down unleashing a rain of blaster fire. Twilight and Pinkie both fired up at the Lunarians. Twilight shouted over to Rarity. "We've got to draw them off and double back to the ship!" They started to scatter in all different directions as Necro-moon's ship came into range. With the pressing of the buttons, two missiles launched and screamed towards the ship. In a huge explosion the ship became just another piece of junk, in the ground. Pinkie looked back with anger in her eyes "You spoil sports! That was our only ship!" She pulled out her party cannon and fired at nearest warrior. Who fell to the ground tied up in party streamers. With a lot of dodging they finally made it to the cockpit of a wrecked ship. Twilight stood looking at the swarm that was getting closer. She had no choice. "Everypony get inside. I'll try and unleash the power of the Element." Everyone but Twilight ran in. "Till all are one." she blasted the roof and the falling junk buried the entrance to the Cockpit. As Necro-moon was getting closer, Twilight tried every spell she knew to activate the element but it was now use. She resorted to trying to open the element with her bare hoofs. "Open! Dammit open! Celestia, you said this would light our darkest hour." With a loud beating of wings, Necro-moon landed with Cyclone right in front of her. "Twilight Sparkle. I want that element!" "Never!" Necro-moon's eyes flared in anger. She turned away to look up at Scourge and his Sweeps. "EXSTERMINATE HER!" High above the sweeps began their attack. They rained fire on Twilight, piercing her body in several places. She groaned loudly and fell forward dropping the Necklace in front of Necro-moon. She lifted it up in her hoof and grinned a wide grin. "Discord, my master. With this I'll make you my slave." Far away near Canterlot. The Dark cloud sent bolts of lightning in every direction destroying trees in blazes of fire.
