//------------------------------// // Chapter 12: Conclusion // Story: Transformers: Harmony and Chaos // by zentradiplus //------------------------------// As the Decepticons fly off into the distance, Optimus, the ponies, the baby dragon, and the two human teens walk up to the statue that was once Discord. Rainbow Dash quickly taps on it a few times. "Yep, he's stoned alright." Rainbow addressed to the others. "Finally, it's over." Twilight sighed with relief. "Earth will now be at peace." Optimus said to the group, "We have vanquished a destructive force unlike anything we have ever faced." "But the question is, what do we do with him now?" Ratchet asked. "My magic is too depleted to transport him back home to his prison at Canterlot Castle." Twilight told the bots, "and we can't just leave him here. The negative energies of Earth will only cause him to break free again sooner or later." As everyone begins to ponder on how to handle Discord's statue, from behind them, they hear a loud thunderous sound. Everyone turns around to see what caused it. What they see, is a huge ball of light. When it finally settled, it was none other than Princess Celestia. "Princess Celestia!" Twilight called out, as she and all the ponies bowed. "I knew you could do it my ponies." She said while proudly looking at the Mane 6. "How? How did you know Discord was defeated? And how did you know exactly where to find us on this world?" Fluttershy asked. "It was simple really. Discord and I, somehow, always shared some type of magical sense of each other. Almost like a psychic link. Once I felt his presence disappear, I knew you girls won." Celestia explained. "Also, I felt a great magical surge in energy from a particular part in the universe, and therefore, knew exactly where to find you all." "That's some amazin' senses Princess." Applejack says while amazed. "But we're not the only ones to credit." Twilight told the Princess, "Optimus also helped with the Matrix of Leadership. An Autobot artifact dating beyond ancient. It's power holds his homeworld's collective wisdom, and has they same type of mystical power the Elements of Harmony have. If we didn't combine the two powers, there would be no way for us to have this victory." "And the humans helped too." Rarity chimed, "That dreadful Discord placed his spell on Optimus, but these two darlings there were able to bring him around." Celestia then turns to the Autobots, and humans. "Thank you as well. You have not only saved your own world, but perhaps all of existance. We are all in your debt." "There is no debt, Princess Celestia," Optimus said to her. "It is my sworn duty to protect all sentient life from any form of evil and oppression, be they Decepticon, or otherwise." Celestia couldn't help but smile at Optimus for his great nobility. "So this is the princess." Wheeljack said to himself. "Her energy readings are off the charts!" "Spike, she's beautiful." Carly said to her boyfriend. Spike Witwicky could only look at her in awe. She then turns her attention back to the ponies. "Twilight Sparkle," she called for her student, "I will now be taking Discord back to Equestria. There he will return to my statue garden where nothing will disturb it. The longer he remains here, the more the seal will weaken due to the chaotic energies emitting from this world." "So are we going home?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Because I wanna stay and party with the humans and cool looking robots some more!" "Well about that. Twilight, I gave you a total of a month's time to spend here on Earth correct?" "Yes Princess." Twilight answered. "And so far, it's only been a week and a half. I believe your assignment to learn about Earth and Humanity isn't finished. So you and Spike still haven't traveled around the entire world due to Discord's interruption I take it. So I'm allowing you to stay here. All of you, my little ponies. Especially with your friends here to keep you company so you won't be so homesick. The rest of you can consider this a vacation. Heaven knows you all deserve it especially after what you all went through." The ponies all look at each other, not believing what they heard. Then all give a big cheer, happy that they can still be with their dear friend Twilight Sparkle, and to have an adventure of a lifetime. "YAAAAAY! I'M GONNA HAVE THE BESTEST BEST PARTY! LET'S MEET MORE HUMANS AND AUTOBOTS! I LOVE MAKING NEW FRIENDS!" Pinkie Pie screamed in excitement, as she bounces into the air like a rocket. "Oh, I wonder if this world has cute little animals. I would like to see them." Fluttershy said. "And I'm curious to see what these humans find to be fashionable." Rarity added. "This is gonna be the BEST MONTH EVER!" Rainbow Dash said as she flies up and lands on Optimus' shoulder. "Ah'm just glad this ain't applebuckin' season, otherwise Big Macintosh would have my hide." Applejack said. "I'm glad you're all happy." Celestia says to the ponies, "I'll tell your friends and family you'll be taking leave on this planet, and to let them know you're safe. I also know that the Autobots will not let any harm come to you. Now, I must take Discord with me. I have improved on the teleportation spell to allow small groups up to eight to travel at once. Once you come back Twilight, I'll teach it to you." "I look forward to it Princess Celestia. And thank you." Twilight replied. "Until then. I will see you all a the end of the month." She said as she touches Discord's statue, there was a bright light that flashed with another thunderous sound, and then they were gone. "LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED!" Pinkie shouted. Over the course of the next few hours, the ponies meet up with the rest of the Autobots scattered around the city after the failed raid on Discord's capital. Rainbow Dash meets a red Autobot she took a liking to when she saw him transform into a plane and started doing fancy stunts in the air. "Hey, that's pretty cool!" She said as she flies next to him. "Show me your stuff kiddo." Powerglide replied. As they fly in the air, they are joined by Skyfire, and the Aerialbots. The pegasus, and the bots all fly in formation, then began doing barrel rolls, somersaults, flips, and other acrobatic tricks in the air. "Ok, you bots, check THIS out." Rainbow begins to pick up speed. She then flies faster, and faster, then suddenly, she bursts forward, and a shockwave explodes out in a ring of rainbow colors. The flying bots, bots on the ground, and many human civilians watching all see the rainbow shockwave appear, and fly across the sky. "AAWW YEAH! Say hello to Planet Earth's first SONIC RAINBOOM!" Rainbow yelled in triumph. Air Raid and Slingshot fly up next to her. "Whoa kid," Slingshot says, "That was the most awesome thing I've ever laid optics on." "Yeah," Air Raid added. "You're really something for an organic flyer." The Aerialbots, Skyfire, and Powerglide all land as Rainbow follows suit. "Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Spike," Optimus said as he walks up to them. "We could not have won this day without your help. You have helped save this world from destruction, and we owe you our lives. I hearby make you all Honorary Autobots." Bumblebee hand each of the ponies, and the dragon, a medallion with the Autobot symbol on it, and they each place it around their necks. "OHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSH!" Rainbow muttered over and over. "WHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEE! This is so exciting, I don't think I've ever been this excited. Well maybe except for the time we rode a giant rocket to an alien planet, and beat that big meanie Discord. Oh wait, that was earlier today. Silly Me!" Pinkie squealed. "Oh my, such a lovely color." Rarity said. "Umm, thank you....." Fluttershy said quietly. "YEE HAW! Another medal to the collection!" Applejack yelled with glee. "It's an honor Optimus. Thank you." Twilight politely addressed the Autobot leader. "Coolest thing ever!" Spike the dragon shouted. Over the next few days, thanks to their deeds in The Big Apple (Applejack thought there was a giant apple somewhere until Ironhide told her it was just the nickname for the city) The rest of the ponies also became world famous within hours. Humans were treating them like stars where ever they went. Rarity and Rainbow Dash took a particular liking to their stardom, while Fluttershy, not so much. They began to tour the world thanks to the Autobot's help. Skyfire was more than happy to volunteer to ferry them around the world. Rarity and Tracks got along just as Twilight imagined. He showed her the most fashionable trends the humans currently had. They would talk about fashion and high society whenever they had the chance. Rarity even showed Tracks some of her designs in dress making, much to Tracks' approval. Rarity took a particular liking to Paris, France when Tracks took her there for a tour. Pinkie Pie met Jazz and Blaster, and suffice to say, the three got along so well, they might as well flowed like water. They would constantly blast music and dance with her throughout Central Park, much to the annoyance to the other Autobots. Pinkie's favorite place to visit on Earth was Las Vegas, which she called the "Alien Party Capital". Fluttershy took a liking to Beachcomber for his friendly demeanor, and love of nature. At first she was afraid of him due to his size, but after seeing him rescue a deer from a fire, she warmed up to him. The two would take nature walks through forests together, and make friends with the local wildlife. Fluttershy was amazed how the birds, and bunnies looked just like the ones back at her home. The highlight of her stay was when Beachcomber took her on an African Safari, where she saw all sorts of animals in their natural habitat. Though he had to rescue her from a lion that tried to hunt her. Applejack and Ironhide developed a close relationship. He took her to a number of rodeos, fruit orchards, and state fairs across the country. She particularly enjoyed her stay in Dallas Texas and watching Western Films with the Autobot. Rainbow Dash toured Andrew's Air Force Base with Powerglide. Seeing humans flying their jets was something she was awed by. She was fascinated with how humans, bi-pedal hairless apes without wings, were able to make their own wings, and soar at super sonic speeds. And thanks to some strings pulled by Optimus, and her fame as one of the heroic alien ponies that saved the world, her highlight of her stay on Earth was being able to fly with, and perform stunts with the Blue Angels, which she called the Human equivalent to the Wonderbolts. Twilight Sparkle, mostly stayed with Optimus and Perceptor. She got to learn a great deal more about human technology and science, as well as some Cybertronian tech as well. She looked up to Optimus like a father figure, and Perceptor like a nerdy big brother. She and Spike would also go on trips to science fairs, and local universities to learn more. Granted, Spike was bored out of his mind, until Twilight allowed him to go play with Grimlock and the Dinobots. This was, after all, a vacation for the little guy. Twilight's favorite place to visit was Tokyo Japan, fascinated by their level of advanced mechanics and science. She also met an old friend of Optimus', Doctor Fujiyama, one of Japan's greatest scientists. He in turn was honored to meet Twilight Sparkle, and was equally fascinated by her unicorn magic. Where as Spike, enjoyed going to the video game arcades Japan had to offer. Their stay on Earth wasn't all completely peaceful however. From time to time, they had to deal with Megatron and his Decepticons. One example was when Megatron led the Combaticons on a raid of the oil fields in the Middle East. It took the combined force of Defensor, Superion, and the Mane 6 with the Elements of Harmony to drive off the Combaticons' combined form of Bruticus. Megatron swore he would get even. Another plot was when Soundwave tried to brainwash the population of Chicago, by playing hypnotic messages over the airwaves. But this was thwarted when Jazz, Blaster, and Pinkie Pie counter broadcasted Pinkie's Smile Song over the airwaves to break Soundwave's control. And there was the one time when Starscream, Skywarp, and Thundercracker attempted to steal jet parts, but Skywarp and Thundercraker were defeated by Fluttershy's Stare, while Starscream faced a humiliating defeat of brute force and superior speed by the hooves of Rainbow Dash. Soon a month's time passed in a blink of an eye, and it was time for the ponies to return home. The ponies, Autobots, and the Witwicky family all gathered in front of The Ark when Twilight began to concentrate on her horn. She was using it as a beacon to call for Princess Celestia. Soon, a ball of light appeared with a thunderous boom, and Celestia was standing in front of them all. "I see you are all ready to return home." She said to the ponies. "Yes princess, I had a great time here, and made many friends." Twilight responded. "Yes, the magic of friendship reaches beyond just our world. It proves that no matter where you are, no matter who you are, friendship can always bring those together. The best part about friendship, is no matter what, there will always someone there for us, be they giant transforming robots, or bi-pedal sentient apes. Friendship extends to all." Celestia says to all the ponies. The ponies, begin to form tears in their eyes as they take one more look at the Autobots. "Do take care of yourself my dear Rarity." Tracks says to her. "Indeed Tracks. Thank you for a lovely time." She tearfully responds. "Stay cool kiddo, I'll miss ya Rainbow." Powerglide said as he pets Rainbow Dash. "Always." Rainbow replied, while trying to choke back her tears. Fluttershy and Beachcomber just simply embraced in silence, as she had rivers of tears pouring from her eyes. Jazz hands Pinkie Pie a CD with some of Earth's best musical mixes while she hops up and give both him and Blaster a hug. "I'll never forget you guys. These were the bestest BEST parties we had!" She said to the two bots, who sadly looked at her. "Hey don't be sad." She said, "Give a smile." Both bots smile back at her, as she herself had some tears forming, and a grin on her face. Applejack shook hand/hooves with Ironhide. "Well, looks like Ah best be gettin' home now. Who know how the farm's doin' without me around. I just hope Big Macintosh didn't make too much a mess while Ah was away. You take care of yourself Ironhide. Ah'm gonna miss ya, ya big lug." "Same here little missy." Ironhide replied. "have a safe trip home." Twilight looks at the rest of the bots, and the Witwicky Family. She walks up to Spike, Sparkplug, and Carly, and embraces them in a group hug. "Thanks for everything." She said to them. "Don't mention it," Spike Witwicky said. "If you ever come back to Earth, look us up. Don't be a stranger." "Of course I will." Twilight responded. She then walks over to Optimus and Perceptor. "I guess this is goodbye then. Till we meet again I guess." She said, with tears in her eyes. "Twilight, I have truly enjoyed my time with you. Someone with a great intellectual mind such as yourself was a joy to talk to. I hope to see you again." Perceptor said as he gently strokes her mane. "Thank you Perceptor. I'm gonna miss you too. I'll never forget everything you taught me." She then turns her attention to Optimus. "Thank you for everything as well, Optimus Prime. You taught me so much, you helped save our world from the Changeling Queen, and you assisted us in beating Discord. You are like a second mentor to me." "I am glad to have met you Twilight Sparkle." Optimus says to the unicorn. "You are strong, sefless, and courageous. I hope that we can meet again. If you ever wish to return to Earth, know that you will always have a home here, and friends who will welcome you. This goes to all of the ponies." The ponies give him a respecting bow, as Optimus returns the gesture. "We may be worlds apart, our friendship will always be true. My Name is Optimus Prime, and I send this message, We will always be with you if not in body, then in spirit, to watch over you and help you through your hardships. That is the magic of friendship. Freedom and Friendship is the right of all sentient beings." With that said, Twilight jumps into Optimus' arms, and she embraces him. He then puts her down, as all the ponies and baby dragon gather around Celestia. She begins to glow, as a bright light envelops them, and in a thunderous sound.... they were gone. "I hope they come back some day" Bumblebee said. "Perhaps, someday." Optimus said. "Well, we do have the coordinates for their world." Wheeljack said. "So maybe one day, we can go visit them." "Sounds like a plan." Ratchet agreed. The Autobots, and their human friends all share a good laugh, as they return to The Ark, while up on a cliff, Laserbeak, observing the events, flies off. The Nemesis..... "Megatron, Laserbeak has returned." Soundwave said as Laserbeak flies into the room. "Play back his recordings." Megatron ordered Laserbeak transforms into his cassette mode, enters Soundwave, and he himself transforms into his radio mode. They begin to play back the findings on the main screen. "So the ponies have left this world." Megatron says as he watches the recording. "AND GOOD RIDDANCE! I've had my fill of magic and sorcery." He utters as he throws an energon cube at Starscream, which explodes in his face. Canterlot Castle..... A bright flash of light appears in the throne room as Luna watches. Celestia, the Mane 6, and Spike reappear after it subcedes. "We're home!" Spike calls out as the girls shake off the effects of the teleportation. "Good to see you all have returned safely." Luna said to the group. "How was your trip?" "It was AWESOME!" Rainbow yelled out. "Good to be home." Applejack said as she looks around. "Ah best be gettin' back to Sweet Apple Acres. Who knows what happened while Ah was gone." "And I better get back to the boutique." Rarity said, "My schedules and orders are definately behind." "And I hope Angel Bunny isn't too mad at me for leaving so long." Fluttershy said nervously. "WE NEED TO THROW OURSELVES A WELCOME HOME PARTY!" Pinkie Pie screamed out while bouncing around in her usual hyper manner. "Princess, do you think we'll ever see our friends again?" Twilight asked Celestia. "I hope so my faithful student. Someone as noble and pure of heart as Optimus Prime deserves our friendship." Celestia answers. "Perhaps some day, we will return, or send them an invitation to visit us." Twilight liked that idea. She then had Spike hand her all the letters she had written during her stay on Earth. "And maybe," Twilight said to Celestia, "I can visit Cybertron some day." All the ponies, and Spike, laugh together. One of the greatest adventures the ponies just had, has ended. Both with fond memories of friends across the cosmos, and those of dangers with the villains they faced, but standing together, they pulled through all the tough times. Tartarus...... "Hmph," Chrysalis grumbled, as she stands in one of the caves of Tartarus. "Celestia banishing me and my minions here will not last long." She addressed to one of her guards. "She thinks this place has no love, but she's greatly mistaking. There is love, but in another form. Love for power, love for conquest, love for destruction, love for bloodlust. Soon I will harness this new form, and escape. What a foolish Princess." She then begins to cackle. The End Ending Theme: "Till all are One" By Stan Bush Note: The last bit was not meant to be set up as a sequel. It's to give Chrysalis a way out if she ever shows up in Season 3.
