Cutie Mark Crusaders Transformers! YAY!
Prolong:
The Day Equestria Changed
The day in Equestria was what the residents had come to expect; sunny and filled with life. Everywhere the sun of the land’s glorious leader shines ponies were out in about, doing their usual routine. And you knew who else was also enjoying this fine Saturday day?
“Are you sure about this, Scoots?” a certain light yellow earth pony with a southern drawl asked uncertainly.
“Total!” a familiar orange Pegasus said confidently. “I read this in a Daring Do book once.”
“I don’t know about this,” a well-known unicorn in a white coat said doubtfully. “What do you all think?”
That’s right, it Ponyville’s famous trio of trouble the Cutie Mark Crusaders, Applebloom, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle. Today, however, things were a little different. Today, the three were joined by three others.
The first is the tan Earth pony named Babs seed, Applebloom’s cousin from the big city of Manehatten, and the first new member the CMC ever had. She was currently staying with her cousin for a long Spring break.
The freckled Earth pony was currently looking down from the large tree branch she and Crusaders were standing on, and trying not to think about what would happen if she took a nasty fall. She tore her eyes away from the terrifying sight, and looked at other two new member of the group.
The first is the light purple coat and yellow mane unicorn filly named Dinky Doo, and consider to the Ponyville elementary school own mystery. Not a lot of ponies know much about her. There are even some rumors that she’s the daughter of the wild eye mail-mare Derpy hooves, base solely on the fact that their manes are similar in colors. Another rumor states that she’s an orphan and that Derpy was some sort relative looking after her.
Nopony really knows that much about the unicorn due to her being so quiet suddenly, a massive change from when she first came to town. When all other fillies and colts are playing during recess, she’s often on her own, just staring off into space. The only reason why she’s a Crusader is because the local bullies were found picking on her one day, and the CMC couldn’t just stand by and do nothing. To insure that she isn’t a target anymore, the others made Dinky a crusader, in hopes that it would help to break her out of her shell and to protect her from the Diamond Spoon.
Currently the quiet filly was just staring off into the sky, a blank look to her face.
The final new member of the group is Rumble, and to date the only male member of the Crusaders. A lot of ponies know Rumble through his older brother and owner of the Ponyville bowling lanes, Thunderlane. Rumble, unlike Dinky, isn’t that much of a mystery. He’s often seen helping his brother out with his profession and is nice colt to have around.
Like Dinky, Rumble joined the CMC due to three things. First, like all members of the club, he doesn’t have his cutie mark yet. Second, he was lonely and asked to join the club, due to all the fun he has seen the CMC having and wanted to be a part of it. And third, he picked on by the Diamond Spoon, like most other blank flanks.
Currently he was the only one not be on a tree branch, hovering near his fellow crusaders, to act as a sort of safety net incase of anything happens with the crusaders latest crusade for their cutie marks.
Currently the group was in Sweet Apple Acres, and they were trying to get their cutie marks in jungle swinging, but since the Everfree forest was off limits they had to take the closest thing they could find. So, with Rumble’s help, they have set up a large rope to a tall tree, and the five none flyers were standing on a tree opposite of the one with the rope, with Scootaloo getting ready to swing.
“Ah still don’t know about this, Scoots,” Applebloom commented uncertainly.
The young Pegasus looked at her friend with a confident smile. “Oh yeah, without doubt this would us our cutie marks in vine swinging for sure!”
“Didn’t we try something like this before?” Sweetie asked doubtfully, her bore narrowing slightly. “And didn’t we get covered in sap?”
Scootaloo just shrugged and looked at the rope in her hooves. “Yeah, but I figure we gave up to soon because of the sap-” She lowered her voice as she lean in close to her closest friends, “-Besides, there’s another reason we’re doing this, remember?”
The fillies founders cast a glance over to the other unicorn in the group and felt some of their fear disappeared. The two looked at their friend and nodded. This brought a small smile to the grounded Pegasus’s face, and she turned toward Dinky.
“Hey Dinky?” she called to gain the light purple unicorn’s attention. Scootaloo couldn’t help but cringe slightly when the unicorn looked at her with a blank expression. She tried to shrug off her own fears as she holds out the rope. “Want to go first?”
The silent pony looked at the rope for about 20 second before taking it. She then looked over at the tree she would be swinging too. She brought herself onto her back legs, and took a moment to study the distance between the two trees. She studied the distance for another minute her horn glowing a soft white and she swings.
Suddenly something flew over head, creating a massive gale forces winds and knocking the unsuspecting filly off of the rope. She let out a soft scream as she saw the ground coming up fast and she squeezed her eyes shut.
(Five minutes earlier)
Space…to same it a wonderment of blackness painted with glowing orbs of brilliant light. Some even view space as a blanket of darkness that hangs over the sky and covers a planet in it mysterious but awe-inspiring embrace.
However, to one it is nothing more then emptiness and nothingness. This creature, flying a space made of metal and fire, signs and reached out, idly flipping a switch.
“Data log entrée…3309; currently I find myself in the delta sector, a mostly empty sector except for a few small planetoids and a Large-class sun. If reports are too believed, there is one life-class planet in this sector, which I am close to and plan to stop on for routine system checks. The reports also state that the planet is largely dead in space, yet some strange gravitation field keeps it close to the sector’s sun. Even odder are the reports that the planet is inhabited by strange, four-legged creatures-whoa!”
The mysterious creature suddenly grasps his controls, his entire ship shaking violently. He fought to maintain control of his ship against the strange force pulling against it and barely kept it under control.
“Computer! Do a full, wide-scale scan. Pinpoint the source of this turbulence immediately!” the pilot screamed urgently.
The ship suffered a rather violent shake, one that probably would have thrown the pilot from his seat if not for emergency harnesses flying over his waist and shoulders. He was fighting a loosing battle as he felt the control of his ship slip away from him.
He heard a beep and looked to his right. The on-board computer had finished it scans and was processing the data. He frowns when he read the data.
“The gravitation field around the Life-class planet…it’s stronger then the reports stated-Gah!” the pilot suddenly lunged forward as another violent shake rocked his vessel. Once he righted himself, the pilot worked fast, his hands a blur as he began flipping, pressing and turning switches, buttons and dials on his controls. “I need to divert all extra power to the thrusters if I am to break free!”
He watched as he powered down several secondary functions and the power for the engines began to redline. The pilot throttled up when believed that the engines have all they could handle. He felt his space rocked from all the thrust of his engines, but it didn’t seem to help. The gravity well was far too strong and all the pilot was doing was causing more harm then good.
Still, the pilot continues to divert power to the engines in hopes that he could pull free. Two minutes later and the pilot heard a small explosion, followed by a warning light flashing. The pilot looked at the light, saw that he had burnt out of one his engines, and sighed with defeat. He worked quick, returning power to their normal function.
“Computer, chart a course. Find an uninhabited patch of land!” the pilot said quickly. The computer worked quickly as the pilot turned his wobbly vessel around so it was flowing with the gravity well instead against it. He looked over at the monitor and saw that the computer had found a seemingly uninhabited patch land, just as ordered. “Now, I pray to All-Spark that nothing happens.”

Dinky opened her eyes when she felt herself suspended in the air, and slowly looked up. Rumble was flipping his wings as fast they could go, struggling slightly with the weight of the pony he rescued. The light purple unicorn quickly regained her composure as her feet touched the ground. Rumble released her soon after, and fell to the ground, panting heavily.
“Are… you… okay… Dinky?” the gray Pegasus asked through his pants.
The mysterious unicorn nodded and was about to say something, until voice drawn her attention.
“Rumble! Dinky!” Sweetie cried out as she and the other Crusaders came running up. “Are you both alright?”
Dinky looked at her follow crusaders and nodded, causing the others to sigh with relief. Applebloom looked ready to say something when a sudden noise startled everypony in the area. They looked to their right and saw smoke rising from the distance. Without so much as a word, Applebloom began trotting at a brisk pace towards the smoke, following lessons she was taught long ago. Soon the others are following behind her, not one questioning their actions.
They were just following the invisible creed that has been part of their land, and that is always help when needed.
The group soon reached the source of the smoke and all quietly gasped at what they saw. They didn’t have any words to describe what they were seeing, and it scared them.
The object was large, larger then anything they have ever, probably bigger and taller then Canterlot Castle and made out of metal. They could see strange tubes on the object’s back that spit fire for a few seconds before stopping all together. The body of the thing was a mostly a square, with large sharp wings coming out of each side. The neck of the object was long, and had two strange bulges around it. At the end of the neck was a long, beck-like head.
It looked like something out of a comic book, really, but they didn’t stop the crusaders from getting a little closer. What the little fillies and long colt didn’t see what that the mysterious object had came to rest on a small ridge and was also being supported weakly by a trees that looked ready to snap at a moments notice.
“Hey, look! It’s open!” Scootaloo said as she and the other crusaders walked around it.
The group looked and they did indeed something have open on the strange creature’s belly, barely touching the ground. The five fillies and one colt stared at the entrance, one thought on all their minds. Should they venture forth and see what’s inside? Well, that lasted for about two second, and like normal, Scootaloo was the first to step forward.
“Scootaloo?” Sweetie shrieked as she tried to grab her friend, only missing her by an inch. “What are doing?”
“Are you kidding?” Scootaloo relied eagerly, stopping a casting an eager smile to her friends. “This is too cool to pass up!”
And with that, she entered into the strange creature of metal. Sweetie and Applebloom exchanged worried looks and they looked back at the beasts. Soon, they too began to making their way into the beast, with the newer crusaders reluctantly following behind.
What the young adventurers aren’t well of, is the extra weight they had put onto the object had caused the already weak trees to gave away some more and it wouldn’t long before they gave all together.
(…)
The inside of the beast was just as eerie as the outside, with a hollow inside, lacking any detail whatever it. It was very nerve racing for the young ponies, and the clicking echo from the foal’s hooves were creeping them out. Still, their anxiousness melted away somewhat when they reached a new chamber.
It was probably the biggest chamber in the entire vessel with a ceiling reaching to the top of the beast. The chamber itself wasn’t much in detail and nothing really caught the eye, say for twelve strange pods, six pods on each wall. The pods were all embedded in the walls, and the six on the left wall were all opened. Something glowed from within those pods, and that draw the attention of the crusaders.
The group broke apart and cautiously made their way to a pod. The reached the pods within the same moment and looked into a pod.
“What the hay am I looking at?” Scootaloo exclaimed in confusion.
The group looked at each pod, feeling a mix of confusion and fear, and maybe a little bit of wonderment. Inside the pods were strange bipedal creatures. They appeared to be made out of metal that rippled like a gentle breeze on a lake. The bodies of the strange creatures are hollowed out and there is strange black vest-like object around the body of the creature. Finally, in the center of the hallowed-out chest, was a strange glowing ball of energy.
The fillies and colt were in awe at they saw, and they, in a trance-like state, stood up on their back legs to get a better look. It was at this time that the trees that held up the machine decided to break and the action caused the beast to rock slightly. This has unfortunate effect of off-balancing the young ponies and they began to fight to say on their feet. But since they were unprepared for the sudden action they were unable to regain their balance, and they go falling into the pods screaming.
Something odd happened when the fillies and colt’s bodies touched the strange beings. The glowing orbs suddenly burst and the horns of the unicorns, the wings of the Pegasi, and the bodies of the Earth ponies light up. The black vest-like object disappeared from the creatures’ being, and the creatures lost their structural forms and fell around the young ponies.
The crusaders could only gasp and scream as they felt a cool sensation wash over them. They tried to fight against this mysterious ooze that threatened their bodies. The earth ponies tried to use what little strength their little bodies had. The Pegasi tried to use their wings to break free. Even unicorns tried to use what little magic they could use, to try and break free.
It was all in vain, whatever covered them was to powerful to overcome, and they could only watched the strange liquid covered their bodies, the cold sensation having progress into an overwhelming burning sensation, and some even passed out from the sensation.
The liquid was half way up Dinky’s neck when a sudden fearful look passed her eyes and she gasp in fear. She began to struggle anew, her horn glowing wildly. Like before the effort in vain, but the frightened unicorn continued her struggle for freedom, the glow from her horn growing ever brighter. The strange ooze was in the process of covering the young unicorn’s head, starting to cover her eyes, when she let out one final scream as the stuff covered the last of her head and her horn let out a bright flash, covering the room.
After that, everything went quiet, aftermath of the magical flash hanging in the air as sparkles.
