"Why should I make more of it for you, Mega...., Megatron?" Twilight asked, afraid of the answer she was going to get.
"I am but a humble Decepticon, in an hour of need. But I understand your worry," Megatron played. "So I will add a benefit to the deal, make me more of your energon, and I will intern reveal more of my inner workings and history,".
The other ponies seemed to accept this as an honest answer, but both Applejack and Twilight had a funny feeling.
"Why would that benefit me, I could just ask you about your history and inner workings anyhow, without the energon?" Twilight asked again.
"Fine, fine, what is it that you want, my little pony?" Megatron asked.
"Hmmm, what would an alicorn want that she couldn't already have?", Twilight asked herself out loud. "I want you to prove that you are honest and good," Twilight said, pointing a hoof towards Megatron, who opened his hands. He was too low on energon to argue.
"Yes, that will do Pony, I will prove to you that I am good, but in order to do these things, I must have energon," Megatron said, trying to get her to make him some. 'Come on you bug, just make me the energon already' he thought, trying not to reveal any emotions other than sincere and passionate.
"Oh..., and by the way, my name is Twilight Sparkle, not Pony," Twilight said, bowing with one hoof. "And these are my friends," she said, pointing her hoof at the five other ponies beside her. "This is Rainbow dash," she gestured.
"Hiya, how ya doing, names Dash, Rainbow Dash", Rainbow Dash said with swag.
"And this is my generous friend, Rarity," Twilight said, introducing the pony of generosity.
"Hello, umm......., I forgot you name, could you run it by me again?" Rarity asked, cheeks blushed.
"But of course," Megatron started, "My name is Megatron," he repeated.
"Got it, Megatron, Megatron," Rarity said to herself.
"Ok, moving on. This is my very hard working and honest friend, Applejack," Twilight said, pointing out the orange farm pony.
'I see that there are three distinct races in this world, I just hope that this insect doesn't expect me to remember this' Megatron thought to himself as Twilight rattled off another name and another. "Now that the introductions are out of the way, how about we get down to work," Megatron interrupted. As soon as she showed him the recipe, Megatron would extinguish the ponies and begin mass producing the synthetic energon.
"Alright, I guess your ready to work," Twilight started, and brought a hoof over to Applejack. "I will send him with you first for some hard work on the farm," Twilight said, looking and smiling at Applejack, who returned the look.
"Ok Twibright, let's get me some energon and I will get to work with Applesauce." Megatron said, not caring that he had butchered their names horribly. The two ponies gave him a dirty look before going into the library. With nopony outside, Megatron tired to use his com link. It hadn't worked earlier, so he had thought that it had been damaged in the space bridge.
"Megatron to the nemesis, come in Sound wave," Megatron spoke, but the link came back in static. "Starsceam, this is Megatron, answer your lord and master," he said again. First there was just static, but then the familiar voice of the cowardly jet came across the com link.
"Master, is that you?" came Starscream's voice. "Thank the all spark you are alive........, What is you........., stion?" came the broken up transmission.
"My destination is unknown, but try to lock on to my coordinates using the warship," Megatron said, unaware that the ponies were now eavesdropping.
"The ship is gone my liege, and the space bridge is unstable, and under the control of Prime and his Autobots," Starscream answered.
"Blasted Autobots, you'll have to use the other side on Cybertron, lock on to me and bridge here, there is a stock pile of energy just waiting to be plucked," Megatron said into the com link, at witch he heard the single clop as one of the six's hoofs hit the wooden floor of the library. "And make sure to bring plenty of strong Decepticons to help the ponies of this world,".
The door of the library opened and the six ponies stood in formation, waiting for Megatron to make a move. "So. how about that Energon Twilight?" Megatron asked patiently.
"No Megatron, your not who you say you are," Twilight said, the six preparing their rainbow spell.
"Oh what, this?" Megatron said, pointing to his Head where the com link. "This was something that was going on before I was brought here," he explained.
"You were killing others, weren't you Megatron?" Twilight asked.
"Not by choice Twilight, only because the evil warlord Optimus Prime struck at us, and then chased us throughout the vicinity of the world we tried to defend, one much like this one," He said, trying to smile an innocent smile.
"Then why did you tell the other one that there was a stock pile of energy here, just waiting to be plucked?", Twilight asked, anger fuming in her voice. She could see that now she was being lied to.
"So it's going to be that way then huh," Megatron said. He took a step foreward and grabbed Rarity by her mane with one hand and with his right, brought out his sword and brought the tip to her neck. "Yes insect, I am Megatron, Lord and Master of the Decepticons, and destroyer of earth," Megatron said proudly to the heavens. "Now, tell me how to make the Synthetic energon,".
"Just let her go and I will show you," Twilight said, tears starting to roll down her cheek. How could she have ever trusted him.
"Do I look stupid pony, I will release her when my sword runs her through," Megatron started. "Unless you produce for me the Synthetic Energon. And don't even think about tampering with it, or I will run her through for the sport of it," he finished.
Twilight slowly lowered her horn and magic and got the book that had the formula for the synthetic energon. "Here you go, now let her go!!!" Twilight yelled at the titan.
"Not until I see the energon made and I can fill up," Megatron said. He gestured to a large barrel nearby. "That will do for starters,".
Twilight walked over to the drum, and performed the spell. Immediately the drum was full to the brim with synthetic energon. "Now release her!!", Twilight yelled.
Megatron ignored her and tried a handful of the energon. It was true synthetic energon, and he felt it as his body accepted the new source of life blood into his veins. "Ahh, now the true test," he said taking Rarity over to the barrel. "Make me another, white one," he said to Rarity.
"I am not as skilled at magic as Twilight is I'm afraid," Rarity tried to argue, but to no avail.
"Then I suggest you learn quickly, before my cannon turns you into fodder for the buzzards,", Megatron said as he powered up his arm cannon. The cannon whirred to life as the inside of the barrel began to glow green, the same color as the energon.
"Twilight," Rarity said sheepishly. "let me see the spell?" she asked as the purple alicorn brought the spell book from the library.
"Now, perform the spell," Megatron demanded. He shot at the wall of a close building to prove he was not messing around.
"I can't read the writing!!!" Rarity cried. Twilight then performed a spell to let rarity read the alien text.
Rarity, now able to read the spell, performed the spell. The barrel filled up with the energon. Megatron smiled as his plans began to come to fruition.
He then dropped Rarity, who fell to the ground with a thud. He looked to Twilight, "It seems that the key to my plan is right here, in your magic," he said with a smile. Megatron then turned his blaster towards Twilight, who in turn shrank beneath his feet. "Ahh, now we are in terms with each other," Megatron said with esteem. "All of you, bow before your new lord and master, Megatron," He said, lifting up his sword arm and pointing it to the sky.
The ponies began to bow before their conqueror. One after another, they all bowed. "Now go and find all of the others who can perform this magic, and bring them to me," Megatron said, waving his hand across the sky.
Over the next few hours, unicorns from far and wide began to come into Ponyville, attracting the princesses.
Upon arriving, the two sisters were in awe at the sight of the titan.
"Twilight Sparkle, where did you find this being, and how may we help you?" Princess Celestia asked. At the sight of the princesses, Twilight seemed to die inside.
"Are you the leaders of this world?" Megatron asked the two royal sisters.
"Why yes, yes we are, and who might you be, titan of metal?" princess Celestia asked.
"Then this will be easier than I thought," Megatron said as he drew his sword.
"What are you doing?" Princess Luna asked as she brought up her shield.
"This," Megatron said as he aimed his cannon and shot at Luna. The blast broke through her shield and then into her tender flesh, Burning her alive.
Luna's burning body hit the ground and burned to a crisp. At this, Celestia readied her magic for a fight. Her magic crackled and lightning shot from her horn as her magic boiled in her blood.
Megatron smiled and took his sword and brought it down upon Celestia. She brought up her shield, but his sword cut through the magic and sliced into her flesh, cutting her in two. The two halves fell apart and hit the ground.
Megatron laughed as he drew his sword back into it's holding place. "Who else wants to challenge the might of Megatron!?!" He yelled into the crowd of Unicorns. They all hung their heads and began to form a line, where they would receive the spell from Twilight to create the synthetic energon that would power up Megatron to new heights.
Applejack was watching the line of ponies with grief, crying that the place they all loved so much had fallen to such a maniacal being, who could be full of hatred and evil. It was then that she seen Pinkie Pie acting more Pinkie than usual.
"Pinkie, what in tarnation are you doing?" she asked the pink pony, who had her ear to the ground, like the ponies of old used to do to track the great herds of cattle. Granny Smith had taught her how to do it, and she was a pro if she did say so herself.
"You can't hear it?" Pinkie Pie asked, looking at Applejack like she had just asked her a calculus question.
"Hear what sugarcube?" Applejack asked back.
"That whirring sound, it's still far away. It almost sounds like it's coming from that cave outside of Ponyville, in the Everfree forest," Pinkie Pie said with glee.
"You mean the cave that....?" Applejack started, but Pinkie finished her sentence.
"That snips and Snails found the Ursa Minor in and Twilight lulled back to sleep and put it back in..., Yep, that's the one," Pinkie answered.
"How are we going to get there with that monster watching all of us?" Applejack asked Pinkie with a sad tone.
"Oh silly, we're going to go under him," Pinkie answered, walking over to a patch of grass, not particular in any way, and opened it up to reveal a hole in the ground, large enough to fit a pony through.
"Do I even want to know how you found that?" Applejack asked, bewildered.
"Oh, what this, there are holes all over equestria. I use them to get around quickly," Pinkie explained, though Applejack remained in disbelief. "Hold on to your legs, and kiss your flank goodbye," she said as she pushed Applejack into the hole and disappeared.
Moments later, a patch of grass outside of the aforementioned cave in the Everfree belched out two ponies.
"See, that was fun wasn't it?" Pinkie asked as she stood up, shaking free some of the dirt that had stuck to her.
"How, how was that......, even possible?" Applejack asked, but decided to leave it at that, it was Pinkie pie after all. They had traveled through the hole at lightning speeds, popping up when Pinkie had looked up and said "Oo, look, the cave,".
Applejack looked up to see Pinkie already having a head start into the cave, bounding along like she always did. "Pinkie Pie, wait up for me," she called after Pinkie, running to catch up.
The cave was damp, and a very musty like smell going on. The walls were covered in moss and other vegetation, and a small stream could be heard running somewhere through the cave. There was a mysterious light in the center of the cave, not coming from the sun or from an angry Ursa.
"There it is, the whirring thing," Pinkie pie said as they approached the source of light in the cave.
It looked to be a portal of some sort, and by the looks of it, it traveled way out there. It whirred like nothing they had ever heard before, almost like the sound of Megatron when he was flying.
"Well, let's get moving then," Pinkie said as she trotted towards the bridge.
"Hold on Pinkie," Applejack said as she clamped down on Pinkie's tail with her teeth.
"Huh, what gives Applejack?" Pinkie asked with both an angry and sad tone.
"We don't know what's behind that thing," Applejack answered with a scared tone.
"Don't worry Applejack, I go through alone, and if it's not safe, I will come back through, but if we don't do anything, we will never be able to save Twilight and the others," Pinkie said, trying to cheer Applejack up.
"Well, I guess your right, be safe Pinkie, I'll wait here for you to get back," Applejack said to Pinkie, before she walked carefully into the bridge, disappearing into the unknown.
Pinkie walked into the bridge, and to her surprise, the bridge carried on for a little bit before connecting her to a metal room, where she stood face to face with another Titan, this one red and blue, and a few others behind him.
All but the red one raised weapons of their own at Pinkie, who began to shrink down. "Uh, oh," she whispered.
