//------------------------------// // Megatron & the Decepticons. // Story: Mares in Black // by MrAquino //------------------------------// "Lyra," Bon Bon's voice whispered "Lyra, wake up buddy!" "No," Lyra muttered in her sleep "I don't want to go to school." "Come on, it's important!!!" "No! Five more minutes." an immediate slap was felt. Lyra stared at Bon Bon with wide eyes and an open mouth. "WHAT WAS THAT FOR!?!?!?" "Outside. We have to discuss about your 'room'." Bon Bon left, not even acknowledging the device near her lamp. Lyra got up and walked outside, still feeling the pain across her cheek, but perhaps, since being a new M.I.B., she probably did something wrong. She walked out of her room. Bon Bon closed the door behind her. She slapped Lyra again. "OUCH!!! What was that for?" "Do you even know what that is!!!" Bon Bon whispered-yelled "...What?" she whispered back "That Device!!! Near your lamp!!! It's logo!!! Why did you bring it!?!?!?" "It was a gift from Susan, that small human." "Lyra! That... is a Decepticon!!!" "...Decepticon?" "Imagine this: Decepticons are huge, human shaped robots that, after scanning a vehicle, can transform into it exactly and basically, hide in plain sight." "Cool!" "But there's more: Decepticons are evil; they believe that all life is beneath them and they need to conquer and/or destroy everything's resources to create, what they call, 'energon', which is basically the way they survive." "Huh... do they have a leader." "Yes, and he is-" She stopped and froze. A smile came onto her face!!! "LYRA!!! YOU'RE A GENIUS!!!" "I am?" "Okay, their leader is Megatron: he's ruthless and power hungry. I believe that we should 'take the day off' and go on a picnic, don't you agree?" Lyra gave a confused look. Then she realized what Bon Bon was planning. "OH!!! Yeah!!! Want me to bring my new device?" "YES!!! We can enjoy some good music along the way." "Shall I pack some snacks?" "Yep! And I think we should go now with no pony around." "Alright. Give me a moment." Lyra walked back in her room, seeing the disguised Decepticon hasn't moved yet. She picked it up and took it downstairs. Surprisingly, Bon Bon already had a picnic basket ready, but considering how well experienced she was, there was probably weapons inside. The two walked outside: the sun was barely rising and no pony was around. The two walked into a field and set up their picnic area. Lyra placed the device onto the floor. "Care for a snack?" Bon Bon asked, opening the basket, revealing the same two guns they used yesterday. "I would." Lyra replied, she reached for the gun inside and gripped it. She hooded her head. Lyra pulled out her gun and Bon Bon, while hiding her gun, held the device and used her gun as a threat. "ALRIGHT, DECEPTION!!! TELL US, WHERE'S MEGATRON!?!?!?" No respond was made. "Wise guy, eh? We have ways of making you talk." "We do?" "...Yes. Check the basket." Lyra opened the basket again and pulled out a hammer. Bon Bon tossed the deviance onto the ground, having it land on it's 'back'. Bon Bon took the hammer away and held it to the device. "Talk, or else you you'll be scrap metal. 3...2...1!!!" She lifted the hammer above her head. The machine fired a tape out, hitting Bon Bon in the face, but glowed a bit and transformed into a robotic jaguar. The tape began to shake and, a bit slowly, it browed from a small device into a large robot that stood nearly three times as them. "Ravage:" it spoke in an emotionless and robotic voice "operation: Destroy." The robot jaguar charged at Bon Bon!!! Lyra, filled a lot of adrenaline, fired at the robot attacking her friend!!! The blast fired was blue electricity, probably preselected because it's a robot and, maybe over electrifying it will fry it's circuits. It hit the robot hard, surprisingly, but it got up and growled right at Lyra. The larger robot turned around and began to run away!!! Bon Bon fired her gun and, instead of lightning, a weird, blinking device landed on the robot's back without it even knowing. Lyra fired at the robot, now charging at her, and saw that, with each blast, it slowed down. Bon Bon got up and, setter her gun a bit, fired at the robot the other one called 'Ravage'. Ravage slowed down even more, until it fell to the floor, twitching from too much electricity in it's systems. Lyra stood there with her mouth open, surprised to see what she had done. "Alright," Bon Bon said, readjusting her gun. "That's another creep for the jailhouse." She fired at the downed robot, instead of it being 'killed', a square portal opened up below it and it slumped down into what looked liked a glass cell. "What... is that?" Lyra asked "A jailhouse. Usually, we have to stun interns first before we can send them in, but in good accounts, we deliver them if they surrender, or, with a well aimed shot, they just fall down." "Is it usually that small?" "Nah, it grows, knowing the intern's size. If you excuse me, I gotta give the good news." Bon Bon walked to their basket and opened it up, taking out a weird device that flipped open. She pressed in some numbers and began to call. "Hello!" Princess Luna greeted herself, possibly still snuggling her pet-intern opossum. "Princess Luna. We found Megatron." Silence fell down. "YOU FOUND HIM!?!?!? WHERE IS HE!?!?!?" Bon Bon fell back a bit, but went back to her professional self. "We didn't 'found found' him, but we'll soon know where he's hiding. I placed a tracker device on one of his Decepticons and he's running away, most likely back to her leader. We're gonna need at least... half of all the M.I.B agents there. Good?" "Very. I'll see you later... who's my good possum? You are!!! Yes you are!!!" Bon Bon hung up the phone. Lyra sat down on her haunches taking deep breaths. "Exciting enough?" Bon Bon asked "Very!" Lyra replied with excitement in her tone "That was... AWESOME!!!" "That's nothing compared to the OTHERS!!!" "Others?" "Megatron is what we need! And his Decepticons as well!!! Come on, we're going on a road trip." "How long will it take us?" "I don't know, a few hours, maybe?" "... eh, let's go! I can't wait to see that Megatron and freak out on how we found him!!!" "Easy there, it's gonna be a while." The two left to go home and get ready for their long road trip. The same pegasus from Yesterday, looking through binoculars, sat on a tree's branch with blood shot red eyes and shivered in her place. Right next to her was a canteen filled with hot coffee. "Was that... a r-r-robot?" she stuttered from both the cold and fear "Th-th-this must be told to the public!!!" She took a final sip from her canteen, threw it into a bush and followed the two while flying high in the sky!!! A few hours later The Afternoon sun hit the two as they exited their vehicle. Following the Decepticon took them all a long time, as it ran all the way into a cave in the middle of the desert. "Hey B.B.?" Lyra asked "What is it?" Bon Bon replied "Are we going to get back up?" "Yeah." "When?" "Right about... now!" large wailing of sirens could be heard. Lyra turned around and saw a brigade of vehicles and pegasi coming in the distance. The M.I.B. agents & vehicles surrounded the entrance of the cave, holding various weapons and even some of the vehicles opening up to reveal what seemed like more powerful weapons inside. One of the vehicles opened and Princess Luna came out of it. She had on a suit that looked the other Agents, and out came along Tiberius, who also had on a suit. "You look so adorable in a suit!!!" Luna nuzzled Tiberius. "Can we please just get 'im?" Tiberius asked, a bit embarrassed on Luna finding him more adorable than important. "Oh, right, sorry. *Ahem* Alright everyone!!! Listen up!!! Keep watch and make sure nothing escapes!!! If that does, I give you all the right to blast what ever Decepti-creep comes out!!! UNDERSTAND!?!?!?" "YES MA'AM!!!" All the Agents, including Lyra and Bon Bon, responded "Good. I'm going to have a word with Megatron." Luna began to walk to the inside of the cave with Tiberius burying himself in her mane. "...All by yourself?" Lyra asked with some concern. Luna turned around. She adjusted her glasses to look at the unicorn. "Should I be concerned?" "...A little bit." "Hm... Alright, you can join me." "WHAT!?!?!?" "And Bon Bon as well, you both found him and should have the chance to see our new prisoner!" "Whatever." Bon Bon simply said, walking next to the princess. Lyra followed: though she did found it exciting about shooting a robot jaguar, but this was a large robot!!! "But before we go in, Lyra?" "Yes ma'am?" Lyra asked, a bit shaking. "I promote you and allow you to use our larger weapons. Boys?" Without a word, three large rifles were thrown to Luna. She caught them all and gave them to the two following her. Lyra could feel the weight of the new weapon she held, but felt A LOT more secure. Luna coked her rifle, Bon Bon followed. With Lyra, it was a bit embarrassing, as it too her four tries, but she cocked her gun correctly and followed Luna inside. Derpy, from earlier, peeked from a cactus costume she bought while following the two. She was not only surprised by all the other ponies in suits like them and their weapons, but was flabbergasted by the sight that Princess Luna was with them!!! "What is Princess Luna doing?" She asked herself as she wrote in her notebook "Is she their leader or prisoner? What are those weapons? Why the suits? Why the opossum? Is this revenge against Princess Celestia, or something worse? SO MANY QUESTIONS LEFT UNANSWERED!!!" She covered her hooves and went back into her cactus. She peeked and saw only a lone pegasus pony mare in a suit walking towards her. "Oh no! I'm caught! I'm going to jail, aren't I!?!?!? Calm down, Derpy. Calm down, remember your training." The lone pony walked up to the 'cactus' and walked around it. Nothing seemed strange about it. "I'm probably just hearing things." she said to herself. She turned around and began to walk away, but felt some pain hit right on her neck. She fell to the floor and was unconscious. Derpy took off her cactus costume and dragged the pony away. In a couple of minutes, she was in the suit (though not really clean looking) and put on the glasses (upside down though) and ran back to where the other ponies were at. They didn't even see her, nor acknowledged that she was there, only focusing on entrance of the cave. Princess Luna, Bon Bon, and Lyra walked into the darkness. Luna lit her horn and made a small light for the three to see in, though it couldn't light the rest of the cave up. "I know you're in here, Megatron!!!" Luna yelled "Show yourself, you coward!!!" silence was around. "So," a raspy but threatening robot voice spoke, freaking Lyra out a bit "Princess Luna? How long has it been since I've been in your pitiful excuse of a world? I'gm glad to see you got out of that moon, only to be back a slave of your sister." "Don't mock me!!! I turned to the dark side, but Celestia's star student helped me got out of it!!! Need I remind you of your constant failures against Optimus Prime and the Autobots?" "Autobots?" Lyra whispered and asked Bon Bon. "They have the same abilities as Decepticons," Bon Bon whispered back "but they value all life and wish freedom for all sentient beings." "Please," Megatron's voice replied "you only need one major victory to outshine others from my experience. How did you find me, anyways?" "I left a tracker on one of your followers!!!" Bon Bon answered "You may know him, he's Soundwave!!!" "Soundwave... wasn't it your job to find the right one?" "It was, Lord Megatron." the same emotionless voice responded "And did you find him or her?" "...Yes. Laser beak should return with their profile." "Right one?" Luna asked "WHAT IS YOUR PLAN!?!?!?" "Patience, fair Princess." Megatron replied "we haven't done anything wrong, have we?" "SHOW YOURSELF!!!" "... with pleasure." Bright, white lights on around them, blinding them a bit. Lyra gasped really hard at the sight: A very tall, grey robot with a helmet shaped head and had large canon over his right arm, sat in a throne, surrounded by other Decepticons. There were some robots that looked like triplets, but had a different color of red, blue, & black, three insectoid looking robots, five robots that looked liked they were from a construction sight, and, well, so much to count from, she couldn't help but feel fierier to all of them. "You brought in every Decepticon across the galaxy to this area. Why?" "Isn't it easy? Your untimely death." He got up from his throne and aimed his large canon at Luna. Without much thinking, Lyra aimed at Megatron and fired a single blast, hitting the robot's eye!!! He fell to the ground, screaming with pain. "Megatron has fallen!!!" the red robot of the triplets yelled "DECEPTICONS!!! ATTACK!!!" All the robots began to charge at the three. Luna stood in front of them and they all teleported outside. All the M.I.B.s held up their guns and aimed at the entrance. "FIRE!!!" Luna ordered. A few of the giant robots came out, only to be greeted by a hailstorm of lasers, plasma, electricity, rays, beams, and energy hitting them!!! they heard the loud booming inside, and Megatron came out, firing and destroying a couple of the vehicle outside, but trying to cover himself from all the projectiles hitting him!!! Derpy panicked, not even sure what to do!!! A large robot came out and started to blast at a couple of the weird machines that surrounded her, killing some of the ponies or seriously injuring them!!! A large, metal bird flew above her transformed into the flying object she followed last night, and landed inside the chest of the same robot that attacked the two mares earlier. The large robot aimed at her and she saw the inside of the canon, glowing with red. She stood in fear, not even hearing the voices of the ponies yelling orders, only her heart beating. She anticipated her death coming from a blast of fire, but saw nothing coming. She saw the robot stop, gave a weird look at her, then an evil grin. Was it going to do something worse? A large blast came to it's face and it fell to the ground. All sounds came back and she saw Princess Luna, unicorn, and the earth pony fire at it's face!!! "DECEPTICONS!!!" Megatron ordered "STOP!!!" All the deceptions stopped firing at the ponies, and the M.I.B. agents stopped, watching what was happening. Luna, Lyra, and Bon Bon walked to robot's face, seeing they dealt massive damage to it's face and shipped some pieces off, showing some of it's wiring. "We... surrender." Both sides gasped. "Surrender?" Luna asked with an eye brow rising. "What is the meaning of this? You never surrender for anything!!!" "Please... your majesty... I... apologize for trying to kill you. Starscream can be an idiot!!!" "HEY!!!" The red robot of the triplets yelled "Please... we will do whatever you want." Luna looked at the Decepticons then looked back at their leader. "We shall see." Luna said. She fired a portal, leading to their prison. Megatron got up and walked to the portal. "Decepticons... follow." The robots began to murmur among themselves, following their leader into the portal. "Do you think he's up to something?" Lyra asked "They're always up to something." Bon Bon replied. She turned and waled to a specific agent. "Tell us your name, Agent." "Uh... uh... Agent... 21." The agent stuttered. "Hold on." Luna said. The agent cowered a bit, not even knowing what Luna would do. Luna placed her hoof over the agent's head. Derpy stood still as Princess Luna placed her hoof on her head. "Show me your mind!!!" A demonic demanded her. "Who's there?" Derpy asked. She looked up and saw Luna was, instead of her regal face, now a decomposing corpse with large eyes and teeth breaking though what's left of the lips. Before Derpy could scream, she found herself flashing through memories of her past!!! From when she born, her first muffin, graduating from school, getting maried to Time Turner, having Ditzy, to the events that lead to today, all happened in less than a few seconds!!! Luna released the 'agents' head. "SHE'S A FAKE!!!" Luna yelled "A fake!?!?!?" Lyra asked "This is Derpy!!! She heard you both talk to her husband about the T.A.R.D.I.S., saw Laser Beak, saw what you BOTH did, and this!!!" "Please!!!" Derpy begged "Don't hurt me!!! I won't tell anypony bout his!!! I Pinkie Promise!!!" "Sorry," Bon Bon replied, pulling out her neuralizer and putting on her glasses "but we can't afford it. Care to do it, Lyra?" "Uh... sure." Lyra replied putting on her glasses. Luna and her possum did the same. A flash of white came and Derpy stood with her eyes adjusting to the brightness. "Alright, Miss Derpy, this is the last time we tell you: this cave is restricted for many reasons. Go home to your husband & child, and come back here next month, got it?" Derpy stood and listened to Lyra's obvious lie. Why did they flash her with that thing? Was it some sort of camera? Or was it something else? Derpy simply nodded her head with a simple 'uh huh'. "Good," Luna said "off with you, we'll see you in another time." Derpy opened her wings and took off to the sky, a bit weirded out on what happened, but also confused on what they were doing. Perhaps, NO!!! Her husband will answer everything!!! "Not bad," Bon Bon said "Though, I think you should've used used the signaling thing as a good lie." "Or use me as the one that gave her that suit." Luna added "Sorry girls," Lyra apologized "it was my first time doing something like that. What now?" "Now? You two have the rest of the day off. See you in the morning!!!" She used her magic and levitated Tiberius out of her mane and went back to snuggling the poor little possum again. The two went back into their vehicle and drove back home, finding this day as a job well done. Out of the corner, the unconscious guard woke up and found herself in a cactus costume. "THAT'S THE FIFTH TIME THIS WEEK!!!" She yelled.
