Fight in the Forest

Chapter 5
“Wh- who did you say you were, sir?” Twilight nervously asked the giant monster in front of her.
The monster looked down at her, Spike, and Fluttershy. “You infernal germ, did you not hear me the first time? I am Megatron! Ruler of the Decepticons! Conqueror of the galaxy!”
“Yeesh, this guy’s nuts,” whispered Spike.
“What was that?” Megatron angrily asked.
“Oh, ah, nothing! Nothing at all!”
“Then what did you say?”
“I said, um, welcome to Equestria!”
“Equestria, hm? That is the name of this land?”
Twilight intervened. “Spike, stop pestering him. Look, um, Megatron, is it? We can tell that you have a very…dominating personality. But we don’t want to start a fight. Our leaders wish for your friendship and allegiance, as do all of us. We do not want to be your enemy. Will you please be our ally?”
Megatron began rubbing his chin with his hand, thinking about Twilight’s proposal. It was not long before he came up with an answer. “Yes, I and my Decepticons will gladly be your allies.”
The ponies and dragon smiled in surprise at each other. They couldn’t believe they had convinced such a frightening being to be their friend so easily.
“But under one condition,” said Megatron, “I am to be your new ruler, and every living creature in this land of…Equestria, is to be under my servitude!”
The trio’s smiles quickly faded. “What? No! We mean ally as in friendly equals, not your slaves!” Twilight said.
“You inferior organic life forms WILL bow to my will, or else.”
“Or else what?!” Spike cried out in defiance.
“I am glad you asked.” Megatron raised his right arm, on which rested a strange looking tube, and pointed it at a tree behind Twilight and the others. The end of the tube began to glow, and to Twilight and the other’s horror, a ball of light shot out from the tube, hit the tree, and exploded. What was left of the tree fell to the ground burning.
“Have you changed your mind? This is your last chance.”
Twilight turned back to Megatron. “We…we will never bow to a monster like you! Princesses Celestia and Luna will stop you!”
Megatron let out a short laugh. “You fool, no mere fleshling can stop Megatron! I will raise this land in a fiery inferno! I will destroy every living thing that stands in my way until victory is mine! Starting with…you.”
Megatron aimed his cannon at Twilight, Spike, and Fluttershy. The three of them held onto each other, helpless, unable to escape. The cannon was almost fully charged. They were preparing for the end.
A loud honking noise rang out three times to Twilight’s left. She and the others looked over at the source. A giant red and blue box on wheels was speeding straight at them. Megatron saw it and turned toward it to blast it, but he was too slow on the draw. The box on wheels rammed Megatron at full force and sent him crashing into the trees. The box stopped in front of the trio. Then, to Twilight’s amazement, it began changing. Pieces of it began moving around, altering the box’s shape. In a few seconds, the box had transformed into an armored giant just like Megatron, except it was red and blue in color and had a very different head design. Also, Twilight noticed a face- like symbol on the new giant’s shoulders. Unlike the menacing purple symbol on Megatron, this giant’s symbol was colored red, and much friendlier looking.
“Leave now, Megatron! I will not let you harm them!” the new giant yelled out.
Megatron got back up on his feet. “Ah, Optimus Prime, predictable as ever. I knew you would attempt to save these pathetic excuses for life.”
“Freedom is the right of all sentient beings Megatron, no matter what they are.” As he said this Optimus briefly turned his head to Twilight, and they looked each other in the eyes. The two immediately had an unspoken understanding that they were allies, friends who could trust each other.
“The more times I hear that line, the more dull my cranium components become, Prime,” Megatron retorted, “No matter, I shall enjoy destroying you first before I conquer this new world, and suck it dry of energy!”
“Only in your dreams, Megatron,” Optimus said as he whipped out an object from his waist that resembled Megatron’s cannon.
The two giants took battle poses, and charged. Megatron fired shots from his cannon while Optimus’ weapon fired multiple shots at a time. They both hit a few times, but the blasts did little damage to either’s armor. When they got close Megatron hit Optimus’ weapon out from his hands and made a grab for him. Optimus quickly countered Megatron and sucker punched him. Optimus grabbed Megatron and picked him up, but instead Megatron grabbed Optimus from above, twisted his legs around, and counter- flipped Optimus to the ground. Megatron aimed his cannon and fired. Optimus rolled away from the shot and narrowly dodged it. He got on his hands, stuck his legs out, and pulled a 360 degree spin. The spin caught Megatron by surprise and he fell to the ground.
All the while the two fought, Twilight, Spike, and Fluttershy were watching in awe. Their mouths were hanging wide open, trying to comprehend what was happening in front of them. Especially Twilight. Not only were these two magnificent beings aliens, but they were rivals. What was their story? Where did they come from? Did they know more about the stars than she did? She had so many questions to ask them. The friendly ones, at least.
As Optimus and Megatron were trying to push each other back, hands locked onto each other’s, a loud noise began emitting from the sky. Three flying triangles were in the air, circling the battlefield.
Optimus looked up. “No…” he said.
Megatron yelled out to the triangles. “Starscream! What are you and your Seekers waiting for up there? Assist me in the permanent destruction of Optimus Prime!”
Twilight couldn’t but help notice that while this “Starscream” and his “Seekers” were obviously Megatron’s friends, there was something about Megatron’s tone that Twilight was a little curious about. What’s the word to describe it? Reluctance? Distaste? She was going to have to find out by meeting Starscream.
The three triangles flew down to the commotion, transformed in mid- air into three giants, and landed with a thud onto the ground. One giant was red, another was purple, and the last was blue.
The red giant spoke first. “What is your command, Lord Megatron?”
Megatron was busy grappling Optimus. “Spare me your sarcasm Starscream and shoot Optimus Prime!”
“Very well,” Starscream said, “Thundercracker! Help me cripple Optimus! Skywarp! Capture those organics before they escape!”
The other two giants nodded. Thundercracker, the blue one, stayed with Starscream as they began firing shots at Optimus, while Skywarp, the purple one, began moving for the ponies and dragon.
“Now no funny business,” Skywarp said, “Or you three get to meet my good friend here.” Skywarp was lightly tapping his blaster. Twilight and the others got the message.
But before Skywarp could grab them, Optimus broke free of Megatron’s grasp, charged Skywarp, and picked him up. “No! You will not touch them!” Optimus yelled out as he threw Skywarp onto Starscream. The two Seekers got back up. ‘One against four,’ thought Twilight, ‘How will Optimus win?’
As if answering her thoughts, a bright orange axe appeared in place of Optimus’ right hand. In response, a bright purple chained mace replaced Megatron’s hand. Optimus charged the villains. At first he parried Megatron’s mace, then spun around him and began attacking the others. From Twilight’s perspective, Optimus was all over the place. He was untouchable. While it seemed he was randomly lashing out at his four opponents, at the same time he was doing so with precise timing. Optimus perfectly blocked every blow, hitting them at the right times. It was like watching a choreographed dance. Except with violence.
In half a minute Starscream, Skywarp, and Thundercracker were already lying on the ground, alive but beaten. Megatron was still holding Optimus off, but he was faltering. Optimus took a slice at Megatron’s leg, and Megatron kneeled to the ground, holding his wound. Optimus raised his axe, but before he could bring it down, a shot came out from the forest behind him and hit him in the back, injuring him. Twilight looked to where the shot had come from. Out from the trees emerged a new giant. This newcomer was wearing blue armor and had a visor over its eyes.
It spoke out in a strange, chilling, and unemotional voice. “Soundwave reporting Lord Megatron. Optimus Prime is currently incapitated. Destroy him now.”
Megatron got up and smiled. “Thank you for your useful assistance Soundwave. Unlike some I know,” Megatron looked over to Starscream. Megatron pointed his cannon to Optimus’ head, but then more new shots from the forest appeared. Two of them hit Megatron, causing him to miss Optimus when he fired. Out from the trees Twilight saw six new giants and several ponies charge toward the five Decepticons. As they came closer Twilight recognized the ponies as Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Celestia, Luna, their guards, and even the Cutie Mark Crusaders.
Megatron saw them, and looked at his own troops. His three Seekers might as well be in the junk pile and he himself was not in the best condition. Soundwave was the only one of them truly fit to fight. Coming towards them were six undamaged Autobot soldiers along with many organics, and Optimus was getting back up. Five wounded against seven and more able to fight. Megatron did the math.
“Decepticons! Retreat!” Megatron yelled out, and he flew off. Soundwave followed. Starscream, Skywarp, and Thundercracker clumsily got up, transformed, and flew away as the Autobots and ponies reached the others.
“Yeah that’s right! You better run!” Rainbow Dash yelled out to the Decepticons as they disappeared into the horizon.
Celestia immediately ran up to Twilight. “Twilight Sparkle! Are you alright?”
“Yes, and so are Spike and Fluttershy,” Twilight responded, “But it’s Optimus who’s hurt.”
Everyone’s attention turned to Optimus. He was keeling down while Ratchet looked him over.
“Optimus, where did you get hit?” Ratchet said.
Optimus groaned. “In the back, Soundwave’s work. But I’ll be fine for now. I can get patched up once we familiarize ourselves with our current situation.”
As Optimus turned to the ponies, Prowl came up to him. “Optimus, the middle of a forest is no place for us to have a conversation. Especially just after a battle.”
“Hm, you’re right,” Optimus said, “But first let me meet the leader of these creatures. It would be rude of me to not introduce myself.”
“There are actually two rulers Optimus, those two there,” Prowl responded as he pointed to Celestia and Luna.
Optimus walked up to Celestia and Luna, and then kneeled down to their eye level. “Are you two the rulers of this world?” he asked.
“We are. I am Princess Celestia,” said Celestia.
“And I am Princess Luna,” said Luna.
“My name is Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots. What is the name of this world?” said Optimus.
“You are in the land of Equestria,” Celestia explained, “But please, let us return to our castle in Canterlot so that we may speak in a more…proper location.”
“Agreed. Autobots, transform and roll out!” Optimus ordered.
Prowl walked up to Optimus. “Uh, Prime, we don’t exactly know where anything is in this world. We should just follow Celestia and the others on foot.”
“Good point. Princesses Celestia and Luna, will you lead us back to your castle?”
“Of course Optimus Prime, just follow us,” said Celestia.
With that, the Autobots and ponies left the scene, heading to Canterlot.
