//------------------------------// // Guardians // Story: Transformers Equestria Girls // by RedFire //------------------------------// Rainbow Dash started to open her eyes and saw her friends looking to her. She then notice that she was lying on a bed. With her hearing coming back, she began to get up with her friends helping her. Her memories started to come back. The dam, the Autobots vs the Decepticons and that little robot attacking her in the river. “What…What happened?” she asked “Did we won?” “Not exactly…” answered Twilight “Megatron and his Decepticons managed to escape with that blue boxes.” “That boxes were Energon, Twilight Sparkle,” said Sari “and they are the main resource of the war between the Autobots and the Decepticons.” “On Earth?” asked AJ “But ah thought that thin’ was on Cybertron.” Sari opened her mouth to answer Applejack, but decided to keep that information in secret until it was a right moment. In that moment, Optimus stepped next to the girls and knelt to let them to see him better. He was very worried about Rainbow Dash after she was attacked by Rumble. Luckily, he was there and protected her like he promised. “Are you okay, Rainbow Dash?” he asked. “Yeah...I think so.” she answered while rubbing her head “Thanks for saving me.” Optimus nodded his head. Before anyone else could say anything, the alarm with green lights filled the room. Unlike the other alarm, this one wasn’t louder. Optimus stood up and walks towards the computer with Ratchet. He and his medic knew very well what was that alarm as well the other Autobots. “What’s going on?” asked Sunset. “Bzzt-brpdo-brpzt” answered Bumblebee while looking to Sunset. “Bee says that is the proximity sensors.” answered Fluttershy “I think there is someone outside of the Ark.” Ratchet started to click in the buttons. In the screen appeared a yellow girl with orange hair. From all the girls, Rainbow Dash was the one gasped more when she saw the girl. It was Spitfire, her best friend in Canterlot High School, but why she was outside of the Autobots base? In fact, how did she knew the location of the secret alien ship? “It’s Agent Spitfire…” growled Ratchet after opening the outside door with the computer. “Wait, wait, wait, wait!” yelled Pinkie Pie “I thought we were the only human girls who knew you, guys!” “Special Agent Spitfire is our designated liaison to the outside world by Major Lennox.” replied Optimus “Lennox may have talked about the battle in the dam...and about you.” The Rainbooms looked to each other. For the way that Optimus said that, the news that Lennox talked to Spitfire was surely bad. Suddenly, a elevator’s door opened and Spitfire walked out of it. By the look of Spitfire’s face, Dashie could say tell what she was about to say it was NOT good. Optimus walked towards Spitfire and stopped five steps right in front of her. Spitfire crossed her arms while looking up to see Optimus’ faceplate. “Nine injured,” she said “half of the dam destroyed and a particular note: numerous reports about giant ROBOTS fighting against each other ann blowing up everything. Do you know how hard it is to erase that workers’ memories, Prime?” she growled. “We got the situation under control, Agent Spitfire.” replied Optimus. “They’re back, aren’t they?” asked Spitfire raising up his eyebrow. “If you are referring to the Decepticons,” said Optimus “I have doubts that they ever left. Your planet is much too valuable.” “Then it’s time to wake up NEST!” said Spitfire “If they want war, they’ll have it!” That option stroke right into Prime’s spark. Suddenly, Optimus kneeled and punched the ground, scaring the Rainbooms, but not Spitfire. Why she wasn’t scared? Twilight began to get worried. She was thinking that Optimus would smash Spitfire right there because...Well...He was a robot. “Hear me, Agent Spitfire!” said Optimus “We are your best and possibly our only defense against the Decepticon threat.” “I don’t know what did Lennox saw in you, Optimus Prime,” growled Spitfire “but I’m not going to be nice with you like him.” she said. “Military involvement will only result in catastrophe.” said Optimus while standing up “Perhaps you can condone widespread human casualties, Agent Spitfire. I, however, cannot.” Those words drew Twilight’s attention. Optimus Prime was an alien, a creature that not belonged to Earth, but even being different or superior to the humans, he was concerned about them like...a true hero. Twilight got to be honest: in front of her was the best leader of all times just like the Royal Sisters. If she wanted to follow someone to the end of time and space, it would be Optimus. “Then deal with this problem and we’ll be fine.” said Spitfire “Well, about the girls…” With those words, Spitfire walked towards the Rainbooms. All the girls began to step back from her. Suddenly, a giant green foot stepped between the Rainbooms and Spitfire. The orange hair girl looked up and saw Hound glaring to her. “We are protecting them.” said Hound. “WHAT?!” yelled Spitfire. “We believe that Megatron attacked this girls to destroy us.” said Optimus “Now we must protect them at all cost from his soldiers.” Spitfire growled “Fine! They are your responsibility now, Prime!” she said while walking towards the elevator “If any of them, especially, Rainbow Dash, are hurt by one of those thing...” With the conversation, Spitfire entered in the elevator and closed the door, leaving the Autobot base. Slowly, Wheeljack stepped next to Optimus. He didn’t know how Prime could handle Spitfire’s stupidity, but surely he couldn’t handle it more that human any longer. “Pretty big bearings...for a human.” he said “Agent Spitfire is concerned for her world, Wheeljack,” said Optimus “as she should be.” “Excuse me!” said a voice behind Optimus. Reacting to the voice, Optimus turned back and saw Rarity holding her phone in her hand. He knew what she wanted to ask. The leader of the Autobots walked towards the Rainbooms and stopped in front of them. One false step and he could squish them all, but that was not going to happen. “Yes, Rarity?” ask Optimus. “I don’t want to bother you, darling,” said Rarity while clicking the phone’s buttons “but I can’t have network here.” she said while showing Optimus her phone. “A security precaution.” he answered “The Ark has a shield that covers it to protect us from being discovered by the Nemesis.” “Well if I’m not call my sister like now,” said Rarity “I’m pretty sure the police will be out looking for me.” Suddenly, Optimus kneel in front of the girl and lower his head towards Rarity, scaring her. Since he arrived to Earth, the Autobots, specially Optimus and Bumblebee, have learned few human costumes and one that caught Prime’s interest was the laws that were similar to the ones of the Elite Guard. If the police forces will soon be searching for Rarity, he surely caused something bad against the Government. “Have you broken the law?” asked Optimus looking confused. “Hum...Curfew.” answered Rarity “It’s after 10 p.m and I got family, Mister Optimus.” “I better go home too.” said Fluttershy “My Angel Bunny must be worried about me…” “Earth’s costumes…” said Optimus while standing up “I hadn’t considered, but the issue of your safety remains.” he said “Wheeljack,” said Optimus to the white Bot “accompany Pinkie Pie home.” “SWEET!” she yelled “My sister will freak!” “And maintain covert surveillance...in vehicle form.” continued Optimus. “Curbside duty…” said Wheeljack “Got it!” “Awww!” said Pinkie with a sad voice. “Bumblebee,” said Optimus to the yellow Bot “you’ll watch over Fluttershy since you two have created a bound already.” Bumblebee and Fluttershy looked to each other. Under his faceplate, Bee smile and a smile appeared too in the girl’s face. Unlike her friends, the shy girl as already trusted in the Autobots, but she feels that her trust belongs to the nice yellow Autobot. “Arcee,” continued the Autobot leader “Rainbow Dash is your responsibility now.” “I’m on it, Optimus.” said Arcee while saluting him “Looks like I’m your big sister, kid.” she chuckled. Rainbow Dash didn’t said a word. She didn’t trusted in the Autobots yet, but she didn’t had a lot of choices since her planet is now the new battlefield of a robotic civil war from outer space. “Ratchet,” said Optimus as he put his hand in the doctor’s shoulder “you must make sure that Rarity has a safe trip.” “Optimus,” said Ratchet “with all due respect, the human children are in as much danger here as anywhere.” “Children?!” asked Rarity with her eyebrow up. “They have no protective shell!” continued the Autobot medic “If they get under foot, they will go...squish.” said Ratchet while stomping his foot on the ground, scaring Rarity. “Then for the time being, Ratchet,” said Optimus as he laid his hands on his hip “we must watch where we step.” “And what about us?” asked Sunset Shimmer. “I shall take care of you both since I’m the only Autobot left.” said Optimus. “But I don’t have…” said Twilight before a friendly hand laid in her shoulder. “Don’t worry, Twi.” said Sunset with a smile “You can live with me while you are in the Human Dimension.” “Dimension?” asked Optimus “ I might require an explanation.” It was night in Crown City and Optimus Prime was the only truck driving in the deserted streets of the city. Inside him was Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer talking about their home dimension, Equestria. Since they left the Ark, Optimus has being hearing Twilights’ adventure in Equestria against monsters, villains and others strange things. From all of that stories, Optimus was interested in the so called ‘Royal Sisters’, their people known as ‘Ponies’ and how Twilight became the ‘Princess of Friendship’. As Twilight shared the Ponies’ story, she and Sunset learned more about the Transformers’ culture too. “So you are mortals?” asked Sunset “But how?” “The time that my kind can live is longer than the organics,” answered Optimus “but we all die no matter we do.” “I’m impressed, Optimus.” said Twilight “I would like to…” she yawned “I would like to know more about your kind.” she continued as her eyes began to close. Suddenly, her head fell in Sunset’s shoulder. Ignoring her tired friend, Sunset continued to talk with Optimus. “Me too...” yawned Sunset “I have so many questions to...make…” she said before her eyes closed. With those words, Sunset Shimmer fell asleep with her her head resting on top of Twilight’s hair. “Sunset Shimmer?” asked Optimus “Princess Twilight Sparkle?. But the only thing that Optimus could hear was two cute snores. After stopping in a parking lot, Optimus turned off his engine and lights, allowing the night to be covered with darkness again. Before Optimus started his watch, he looked inside once more to her two humans girls. They were sleeping next to each other. In the war, Optimus has learned to not sleep since the survival of his Autobots was the most important thing to him. “Sleep well, my little humans…” he said to the girls as they continued to sleep.
