Prologue

"Cybertron... for generations it has been a peaceful world, but pride and a lust for power divided us. Now we fight... enemies, who were once our brothers...

"I am Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots. We have fought bravely against Megatron and his Decepticon warriors, but alas, we have failed. Megatron had used Dark Energon to corrupt Cybertron's core, and in order to cleanse it, our planet's core has shut down, haulting its production of life giving Energon.

"We hope to leave Cybertron in order to find a new world among the stars. Jazz and Cliffjumper found an ancient star map of the universe in the Sea of Rust, and located a new planet for us to journey to called Earth. I sent my scout Bumblebee ahead of us to study the planet and search for life. We await his response, but until that day, we continue our war against the Decepticons!"

Twilight stepped out into the garage as her husband Nightlight loaded their car up with his belongings. "And just where are you going?" She asked folding her arms. Nightlight sighed opening the car door.

"Im sorry Vel, but this marrage just isnt working out..." he said getting into the driver seat.

"What are you saying?" She asked walking up. Nightlight looked at her starting the car up.

"Im filing for a divorce." He said unaware his son was walking in before opening the garage door.

"B-But... what about Shining Armor? And... " she paused placing her hand on her belly. Nightlight frowned starting the car up. "Good Bye Twilight."

------------

Shining Armor looked up at the stary night as his mother came out of the house with two cups of hot chocolate and gave him one. "Thanks mom!" He said before taking it as she sat beside him trying not to cry more in front of her little boy.

"See anything out there Shining?" She asked looking up at the stars.

"Nothing interesting sadly. Just the same stars and planets we always see..." he said sadly. Science sadly wasnt his strong suit but he did always make an attempt at it.

Twilight sighed before looking up to see a shooting star. "HA! Shining, LOOK!" She said with excitement pointing him to it.

"WOAH A shooting star!" He exclaimed. "Be sure to make a wish!" His mother told him before getting up. He nodded and closed his eyes. 'I wish Mommy would be happy again...' he thought.

-------------

The star landed outside Canterlot, managing to take out a bilboard in the process. It bounced into the woods near some campers. "What was that?" One of them asked climbing out their tent. The two took out their flash lights and scanned the area only to find a new trench was dug into the ground. Following it they soon located what caused it, a strange metal pod.

"You ever seen anything like this mate?" He asked his friend who shock his head. They suddenly heard noise come from it and turned to it only to jump back in terror. Two legs folded out from it and slammed them into the ground standing it up, before two arms appeared. They watched as parts of the pod shifted around to form a body, about twice their height as a head with two blue eyes appeared. They stood there in fear as the metal man stood there looking at them before looking up to their ride, a yellow voltswagon and scanned the car before running down the road away from the two, leaving them to their own thoughts.

-6 weeks later-

“Wake up Shining!” Twilight Velvet shouted at her son as she barged in. Shining Armor woke up yawning and glared at his mom.

“Mom, its Saturday! Why are you waking me up this early?” he asked tiredly as the alarm clock read 8 AM.

“Because sweetie, were going out for a new car… since your father took off with the old one…” she grumbled before tossing him a set of clothes. Nodding tiredly, Shining began getting dressed as Twilight walked to the living room downstairs and looked into the mirror.

“Ok Vel, you got this. You dont need Nightlight. He probably left you for some younger thing, so who needs him?” She muttered to herself as she attempted to fix her purple and white striped hair up into a pony tail. Soon her son walked down in his baggy pants and T-shirt.

“Ready” he said yawning. Twilight nodded, grabbing her purse and together they walked out.

--------------

Discord was laying around in his junk yard, reading the newspaper claiming another Big Foot sighting had been spotted. Suddenly he heard footsteps coming up to the stack of junk he was on. Looking up he spotted his friend Shining Armor walk up as an older woman looked around the dump.

“Hey Shining! Whos the good looking woman?” he asked adjusting his hat. Shining looked back and sighed. “My Mom.” he said as Discord frowned.

“Oh, I see…” he said awkward like. Twilight walked up to him still looking around. “Excuse me, um…” “Discord, My Lady…” He said jumping down the pile and taking her hand kissing the top. “what can I help you with today?” he asked seductivly. Twilight blushed as Shining rolled his eyes.

“Twilight Velvet, or Vel, and Im hoping you might have some cars here.” she said as Discord spun around. “Cars you say? Right this way!” He said before sauntering off. Twilight giggled following as Shining begun digging into a junk pile hoping he might find a giant robot.

-----------

Pulling a gate back, Discord led Twilight to the back part of the yard. “This is where I store the cars that are still in good shape.” he said showing off his rides. Twilight looked around seeing all sorts of cars, until she came across a yellow voltswagon.

“Hmm, how much for the Voltswagon?” she asked not seeing a price on it. “Ah, the new guy! Im still going over it, but I think $500 and a date with me would be a good deal.” he said smuggly.

Twilight rolled her eyes sitting on the car. “Really now?” she said chuckling. “A man can try, cant he?” he said smirking. “Tell ya what, I just got divorced a few weeks ago. Give me some time, and MAYBE Ill give you a shot.” she said pulling out her check book.

“Works for me!” Discord said as she wrote a check out. “Ya know, I think this car was meant fof you.” Twilight looked up as she finished the check. “How so?” she asked.

“I believe the Driver dont pick the car, but the car picks the Driver. Its a mystical bond between man and machine.” He said patting the cars sun roof. “I see” Twilight said hoping off the car and pulling the check out. “Discord took the check and smiled. “Give me a minute to make you a set of keys.”

-------------

Shining couldnt believe the car she bought. It screamed “Im single forever!” to him. But she was smiling at least, so he wasnt complaining. After getting a feel for it, she took her new car out for a spin, dropping him off at the house before going to do some errands. Shining sighed as he dialed up his buddy Flash Sentury.

“uh, Hello?” the other end of the line asked answering. “Flash, you wont BELIEVE what mom just got…”

-----------

Twilight smiled as she loaded her cars trunk up as she finished the last of her errands. “Well, least Im slowly getting my life back to normal” she said turning her car on. Almost instantly however her car radio blaired to life screaming “IM SO EXCITED!!! AND I JUST cant wa-” She quickly turned the audio down.

“Ouch, I dont remember leaving you that loud.” she muttered before shrugging and driving home, finding another radio station to listen to. On the way home she stopped for gas noticing the car didnt have alot in the tank. Pulling up to a gas station, she walked inside, unaware that someone was walking up to her car.

“Heh, this will be an easy steal” the crook muttered getting ready to break the window. However, when he slammed his crowbar into, it bounced right off hitting him in the shoulder. “GAH Screw this car!” He muttered and went to look for another car to break into. Twilight came back out unaware of what happened.

----------

Shining looked out the window as his mother pulled into the garage. “SHINING ARMOR COME HELP WITH THE BAGS!” She yelled at him as she got out of the car. However before she turned it off the radio started up again playing what sounded like old charging music as Shining burst into the garage.

“Good selection of music” he said with a chuckle as he opened the trunk. “Wasnt me. I think the radio has a few bugs” she said turning the car off. “Well we can take a look at it after dinner?” He suggested only for them to hear a clang come from under the car. Twilight looked under and sighed. “Looks like it”

Twilight sighed as she climbed under the car. “Shining, can you hand me the flashlight? I cant see where this fell from.” She said as Shining Armor begun digging through the drawer looking for one. Twilight grabbed the part that fell, looking it over in what little light she had.

“Hmm, this doesn't look like any car part Ive ever seen before.” she said before sliding it out from underneath the car. Shining Armor finally pulled out a flashlight and slide it underneath to Twilight. “Thank You, now, lets see where this fell from.” she said examining the cars underside. “Hmm, Im not seeing where this goes…” she muttered passing the light past the front wheel axle only to stop seeing something strange. “Shining Armor… Can you get under here and tell me Im seeing this correctly?” she slowly asked with a hint of nervousness in her voice.

Rolling his eyes, Shining got on his back and scooted underneath to see what his mom was freaking out about. “Mom, I'm pretty sure what your seeing is part… of the… What the?” He asked as they stared at what looked like a face made of metal hiding away. “Mom, I don't know what that is… but I don't think it belongs there…” He said before reaching up and poking what appeared to be eyes.

Twilight snatched her sons hand back only for the face to come to life. The two watched in fear as the eyes begun glowing blue only for the head to pull away, the rest of the car unfolding over them. The front half of the car split in half and folded forward forming a sorta chest. The doors and tires begun to take on arms and hands while the cars interior morphed into a body and upper torso. Finally the back of the car formed into a pair of legs as the head appeared on the top of the now standing car. Twilight and Shining Armor sat up as the metal being slowly backed away into a corner of the garage, looking ashamed and trying to hide.

Twilight slowly stood up and gave her son the flashlight before inching towards the robot. “What are you?” she asked. The robot made a few beeping sounds, but no words came from him.

Shining Armor stepped forward behind his mom. “Can you talk?” he asked. The machine shook its head sadly.

Twilight frowned and got closer. “My name is Twilight Velvet. And this is my son Shining Armor.” she said. The metal man slowly examined them looking the duo over. Twilight finally got up close to the machine and put her hands on its face. It closed its eyes as it let her feel it. She then whispered to it. “What's your name?”

Suddenly it opened its eyes as if it remembered something and hit a button on what appeared to be its car stereo. Twilight stepped back as a metallic voice played from it.

“Bumblebee, this is Optimus Prime. The Decepticons have gone ahead of us to the third planet in this solar system. I want you to scout the planet. See if you can-” the transmission cut out as Bumblebee turned the radio off.

“Your name is Bumblebee?” Shining Armor asked to which the metal being nodded. “Are you an alien?” Twilight asked stepping back up to it. Bumblebee made some noise from what appeared to be his mouth, trying to say yes and nodded.

“This… is SOOOO COOL! Shining Armor exclaimed running his hands through his hair. “I have to tell Flash!” he said before running inside. Twilight frowned and chased after him.

“No Shining Armor! You can't tell anyone!” she said grabbing his arm pulling him back to the garage only for them to see Bee looking through the tools and pick one up only to accidently crush it. He managed to get an “Uh-Oh” out before noticing the the two watch him. He then embarrassingly put it back before backing away.

Twilight watched as he cowered back only to chuckle. “Son, we cant tell anyone! If the wrong people found out, they'd take him away for studying.” upon hearing that, Bee whined in fear and transformed back into a car to hide. Twilight walked over and patted the hood. “Its ok. Your safe here.” she said reinsurantly. "Ill see if Discord can reattach this to you tomorrow."

-------------

Twilight woke up in her bed the next morning suddenly. “Wow, what a weird dream…” she muttered before grabbing her bathrobe and getting up. She soon heard cartoons playing downstairs.

“Well, I know Shining is up.” she said tying her hair into a ponytail before heading downstairs only to see her son sitting on the floor as Bumblebee sat on the couch. “ok, it wasn't a dream…” she mumbled before scratching her head. “How did he get in here?” she asked as her son pointed to the kitchen sliding door.

She nodded getting ready to make breakfast as a cartoon came on that her son obsessed with. She listened as her son hummed on to The Transformers before she noticed the intro showing cars turning into robots on it. Bumblebee leaned forward interested in it. Twilight chuckled before turning to the stove to cook. “Never thought that show would become real."

--------------

Twilight drove back into Discords junk yard only to see Discord once again sitting on a junk pile reading a paper. She got out of her car holding the part that fell off last night and shouted, “DON'T YOU DO ANYTHING ELSE?” Discord looked up from his paper and yawned.

“Well I would, but since Im single, I might as well stick with my turf ya know?” he said pulling a lollipop out of his mouth. “So what are you doing back here so soon?” he asked hopping down to the ground. Twilight held up the part that fell off Bumblebee last night.

“Was wondering if you could reattach this. It fell off last night.” she said as Discord took the part and looked it over. “This ain't no car part Ive ever seen before.” he said as he tossed it back. “In fact, looks outta this world!” he added before walking to the garage in the back.

Twilight turned back towards her car and placed her hand on its hood. “Sure wish you could tell me what this is Bee.” she said only to hear Discord behind her.

“Mrs. Velvet, are you talking to your car?” he asked holding some welding tools. “Uh, maybe?” she asked about embarrassed as Discord chuckled.

“Don't worry. Were all a bit crazy.” he said laughing. Twilight looked away clearly upset only for Discord to pat her back. “Its ok Vel. I'm just teasing you” he said before crawling under the car. “Uh… why is there a face under the car?” he asked.

Twilight sighed and pulled him out. “I'll show you in the garage…”

“Woah.” Discord said, his lollipop now on the ground as Bumblebee stood before him, clearly ashamed that he was found out again so soon. “And here I thought the giant robot in my junk yard would be under a pile of scrap, not hiding in plain sight as a Volkswagen!” He exclaimed as Twilight sat on a table near the door. “Ya, who'd of thought you sold me an alien?” she said grabbing the piece of metal and walked over to Discord putting her arm on his shoulder leaning on him. “So, think you can put this back on him?” She asked only for Bumblebee to start beeping as he shook his head at the idea.

“You saying this isn’t part of you?” Discord asked as he took the piece from Twilight. Nodding, Bumblebee got on one knee and took the piece from him and began to mess with it for a few seconds only for a hologram to appear over it. “Woah!” Discord and Twilight exclaimed as the hologram was showing off the earth, but with a small area blinking in what appeared to be California. “Bee, what’s in California?” Twilight asked. Bumblebee pressed his radio as the transmission from earlier began playing.

“Bumblebee, this is Optimus Prime. The Decepticons have gone ahead of us to the third planet in this solar system. I want you to scout the planet. See if you can get to the Allspark before they learn where the Space Bridge sent it on the planet. Prime out.” The duo looked at Bumblebee in confusion. “Whats the Allspark?” Discord asked. Bumblebee gave what sounded like a sigh wishing he could actually talk to them to explain his mission to them. Seeing this, Twilight asked, “What happened to your voice Bee?” Bumblebee looked at her with a frown as he pressed a button on the side of his head as a new hologram appeared out of his optics revealing another metal man, with a massive cannon on his right arm. Bee pointed at the hologram, then to his throat, made a fist, and acted like he pulled something out of his throat.

“That guy ripped your voice out?” Discord asked. Nodding, Bee turned the holograms off and handed the piece of metal back to them. “Discord, do you think you might be able to fix his voice?” Twilight asked him. “Im... not sure. I can give it a shot at least.” He said as he pulled open his toolbox and began looking through them before handing Twilight a set of keys. “Can you go to the front gate and change the sign to closed and lock up? We don’t need anyone walking in on this.”

---------

Optimus ducked behind a piece of rubble as his right arm converted into a blaster and begun firing at the Decepticons before him. “Autobot's, Megatron’s forces are coming closer. i need back up quick!” He said ducking as a Con fired at him. Looking up, he spotted a jet flying over him only to begin firing away at the Decepticons. “Good Work Windblade!” He said as the jet flew to him transforming to her robot mode. “Optimus, They just keep coming!” She said as she pulled a blade out and begun deflecting shots.

Nodding, Optimus leapt out from behind their cover and transformed into his cybertronian truck mode driving full force into them smashing them to bits before transforming back into robot mode as his left arm had his energon sword morphed out out and slashed another in half. Windblade then leapt over him with her blade and slashed a Decepticon’s head off before grabbing a blaster from one of the cons and began firing at a handful of Decepticreeps. Suddenly the two were blasted apart as they heard a sick emouionless laugh coming from above.

Looking up, Optimus watched as a dark blue communications truck drove out the window of a building and transformed into its robot mode before pressing a button on his chest having a tape fly out of his chest only to transform into a jaguar and charged at them. “Not today Soundwave!” Optimus said blasting the robotic cat back. Windblade leapt into the air activating her thrusters and flew towards Soundwave only for him to launch a bird out of his chest at her. “How many of these minions does he have?” She yelled slashing the metal bird away. Soundwave laughed again and began firing at Optimus with his shoulder mounted gatling gun. Optimus dodged out of the way as the jaguar leapt into the blast being taken out.

“Ravage, NO!” Soundwave yelled running down to Ravage only for Optimus to begin firing at him. Screaming in pain, Soundwave retreated transforming back to his alternate mode driving away as Optimus stomped his foot onto Ravage’s head. “Thats one less minion for him to command.” Optimus said looking up to Windblade. Windblade nodded landing by her leader as he pulled out a locator device. “Whats that for Optimus?” Windblade asked putting her weapon away only for Optimus to hand it to her. “I need you to go after Bumblebee. Something tells me he is going to need your help locating the Allspark on this world. This will help you locate him.” Optimus said handing it over to her. Nodding, Windblade transformed into her jet mode and took off.

---------

Soundwave ran into the Decepticon base only for his master to turn around in frustration. “How could you lose to the Autobots Soundwave?” he asked anger rising in his voice. “Forgive me Lord Megatron. The Autobots defeated Ravage and I was distracted in trying to retrieve him. Optimus Prime forced me to retreat.” Megatron frowned turning back to Soundwave, his silver armor glistening from the monitor’s light. “You are lucky I have need of your surveillance skills more than your combat skills. Otherwise Id have you terminated on spot!” He said holding back his rage.

Soundwave nodded as his bird, Laserbeak, flew into the chamber and transformed back into a tape loading itself into his chest. “Play back Laserbeaks recording Soundwave.” Megatron ordered. Soundwave nodded and leapt into the air transforming into his surveillance disguise mode, and plugged himself into the computer monitor, playing back Laserbeak’s recording. Megatron looked at the monitor as it showed Optimus Prime handing a tracker to Windblade and having her leave the planet before he transformed into his truck mode and drove off, his six smoke stacks shooting fire out to give him a turbo boost. “So, Optimus know’s about Starscream heading to the world to find the Allspark... Shockwave, alert Starscream at once!”

---------

Sargent Biceps sighed looking out at the military planes getting small repair jobs put on them. “Remind me WHY we have to install these programs into our jets?” He asked spinning around to his superior, Commander Kranky. “Because, reports of this strange objects falling to earth only to vanish into thin air are getting the president worried that the Russians are trying to start a war with us. These will hopefully be able to spot these objects and what happens to them afterwards.” he said crossing his arms.

Nodding, Bulk Biceps turned back to the jets, unaware that the one that was next had its radio activate as a voice came through it. “Come in Starscream. This is Shockwave! Lord Megatron sends word that the Autobots have sent their scout to the planet your on. And they are sending another Autobot to join him and find the Allspark. You need to locate the Allspark before you get more Autobots on your afterburners.” Listening to this, Starscream groaned as he was pulled forward. “Very well Shockwave. I shall commence after these humans install this new radar system. Starscream out.”

---------

Bumblebee sat on the table Discord was having him lie on to work on his voice, sadly with no results. Discord and Twilight looked on at the specs they drew up to rebuild it slowly running out of ideas. “Im starting to think this is just beyond anything our science can do for him.” He said frustrated crumbling the specs up and tossing them. Twilight groaned turning back to Bee only to see the robot playing with his radio.

“Hang on... Bumblebee, you were able to use your radio earlier. Do you think you can connect to human transmissions?” She asked. Discord walked over curious. “Are you suggesting he use our radio signals to communicate with us?” he asked to which Twilight snapped her fingers excitedly. “Exactly!” She said before turning back to Bumblebee who was now trying to get his radio on. Soon a song started playing. ‘Never Gonna Give You Up, Never Gonna Let You Down!’ it began only for Bee to give a frown and flicked his radio off, annoyed from the song that played.

“Well, on the bright side, we know it is possible at least hehe.” Twilight said as Bumblebee jumped off the table and transformed back into his car mode. “Guess he's ready to go.” She said opening the car door. “You wont say anything to anyone about him, right?” She asked to which Discord nodded. “Your secret’s safe with me.” Smiling, she got into Bumblebee and began driving him out.

---------

Shining Armor leapt up from behind Flash’s picnic table with his plastic gun as he looked around. “Where are you?” he muttered as his finger twitched on the trigger. Suddenly he felt another plastic gun put up to his head. “You feeling lucky, punk?” Flash asked ready to pull his trigger. Shining Armor slowly turned around his gun raised up. “Wh-What are you gonna do with me?” Shining Armor asked as Flash stood up. “Im taking you down so we can win this war once and for all!” he said about to pull the trigger only to hear a car pull up on the other side of the house.

“TIME TO GO SON!” Twilight shouted out to Shining Armor. “HURRY UP, TONIGHTS PIZZA NIGHT!” She added. This got Shining Armor up and running. “Sorry, well have to finish this some other time man!” He said running backwards waving bye to Flash as he hoped the fence and ran to the yellow Volkswagen with her mom inside waiting. “Hey mom, did you get the part reattached to Bee?” he asked closing the door. Shaking her head, Twilight explained to her son what all happened today.

“Wow, thats kinda insane. So any luck with finding some radio recordings?” Shining asked Bee, only for the radio to turn on, playing, “HELLOOOO BAAAAABY!” The two of them laughed at that as they drove off to a Pizza Hut for dinner. “So, why did that map of earth point tell you to go to California Bee?” Shining Armor asked. “From what i can put together, it sounds like this ‘Allspark’ thing is located somewhere there.” Twilight said pulling up to the restaurant. The radio then went off going, “DING DING DING, WE HAVE A WINNER!!!” Looking to her son, Twilight said, “Looks like we got a road trip coming up soon!”

Starscream groaned as the humans moved him outside the hanger after installing the new tracking device to him. ‘Finally’ He thought as the humans left before activating a hologram of a human pilot in his cockpit and begun powering up. This caught the attention of Sargent Bicep’s as he stepped outside the hanger. “WHO AUTHORIZED THAT PILOT TO TAKE OFF!?!?” he yelled as Starscream rolled himself to the runway and begun the procedure to take off. “SOMEONE STOP THAT PILOT BEFORE HE TAKES OFF!!!” He yelled hoping into a jeep and climbed to the top for the turret as he whistled to Lightning Dust to drive the jeep after the plane. Starscream began firing up his engines only to pick up the jeep driving up to him on his radar.

“Human filth... Although... they could come in handy...” he said powering down his engines. Sargent Biceps watched carefully pulling up to the cockpit only to gasp as the pilot vanished before his eyes. “GET BACK!” he yelled at Lightning Dust only to watch in fear at what he would of never expected to happen. The plane began to transform. The sides of the plane moved up becoming shoulders while the cockpit folded down becoming a chest while the wings flipped over becoming its back. Biceps ducked as he saw what looked like the plane’s main guns morph into arms sprouting a hand out of nowhere before slamming it into the ground standing itself up as its turbines split apart into two massive feet. Finally he watched as a black squarish head emerged from where the cockpit once was, glowing red eyes staring down the Sargent as he gulped before recomposing himself and stood tall.

“I am Sargent Biceps of Sector Seven. State your business intruder!” Starscream grinned and got down on one knee preforming a sorta bow. “My apologizes for the deception. My species wanted to remain in hiding on your world as to not interfere with your kind... But I obviously couldn’t fool you Agent Biceps.” Starscream said clearly trying to stroke the Sargent’s ego as he continued. “I am Starscream, a Decepticon Peace Keeper sent to your world to hunt down a fugitive from my world.” Starscream then had a small visor slide over his eyes as he beamed a hologram of a yellow autobot before Biceps. “He is a war criminal who has helped launch our planet into a massive war and must be brought back for judgement.” Turning the hologram off and looking at Biceps, the human folded his arms and asked, “How can we help?”

Bumblebee looked down at the table Twilight had in her garage as she was pulling every map she could find out. “Ok, I have family out in Canterlot, California, and we should be able to stay with them for abit while we search for this All-Spark.” Twilight said as she planned out their course before stashing the map into her purse as Shining Armor dragged the their bags into the garage panting at how much weight that was packed into them. “Alright, I think thats everything...” he said looking at Bumblebee who nodded and got down on all fours as his armor reconfigured itself into his car mode popping open the hood in the front as Shining Armor brought the luggage to him.

Twilight turned around and sighed rubbing her belly. “Hopefully this is all done before I have you...” she muttered before walking over to Bumblebee. Shining Armor ran to the other side and leapt inside as she tossed him her purse. “Alright sweetie, get the map out. Im going to need you to give me directions so we can get there.” She said climbing in as Bumblebee started up. Suddenly the garage door opened as Discord walked in. “Where’s a cute thing like you going off to so suddenly?” He asked bending over into the car window. “To California to find whatever this “All-Spark” thing with Bumblebee. I figured you knew that would be happening Discord.” She said putting a pair of shades on. Nodding, Discord looked around the place frowning. “Well, want a house sitter then? Ill clean the place up for you when Im not working at the Junkyard.” he asked standing up.

Twilight turned to the driveway thinking as she tapped the steering wheel before finally coming to a decision. “Yeah, sure, why not?” She said casually and tossed the house key to him. “If I find one thing out of place or find out you went through my underwear drawer, and your dead. Got it?” She ordered coldly to him. Nodding, Discord walked up to the Garage door to close it for her. Twilight turned to her son and smiled. “Alright son, here we go.”

---

Twilight sighed nearly two hours out of Ponyville as Bumblebee continued driving down the road. “Any luck finding a good radio station Bee?” She asked only for the radio control’s to spin around and have the buttons press in and out only to get static. “Maybe you should look into saving the recordings your using so you can play them back in case of moments like this?” Shining Armor suggested casually only for Twilight to grab her purse and pull out a cassette tape. “Here, try this.” She said popping it in. Suddenly Bumblebee’s radio started blasting music throughout the speakers as Shining Armor began to dance in his seat. “Man, I love this song!” he said only for the tape to eject. “Aww man!” He said only for them to start hearing a strange sound begin to play from the radio, sorta a beeping sound until finally a voice was heard.

“BEE, ARE YOU THERE?” It said, sounding female to the two humans. They listened as Bumblebee began attempting to communicate to the voice with his damaged voice only to switch over to his radio recordings. “HEY THERE GOOD LOOKING” “What brings you to this part of the woods?” Bee’s radio said only for the voice to respond back. “Bee, are you alright? What’s with the random recordings?” the voice asked only for Twilight to speak up, “Bumblebee, who is that?” The voice stopped talking surprised to hear someone was with Bumblebee. “Who is this, and what are you doing with my friend?” She asked curiously with a hint of suspicion.

“My name is Twilight Velvet, and I... in a sense, am Bumblebee’s “owner”. I bought him at a junk yard not knowing he was a robot in disguise. Who is this?” She said to the radio. “My name is Windblade. Bumblebee is my friend from before the war for Cybertron started up. Optimus Prime is sending me to your planet to help Bumblebee with his mission to locate the All-Spark.” the voice said only for Bumblebee’s damaged voice to whirl sounding abit upset only for Windblade to snap at him. “I KNOW YOU THINK YOU CAN HANDLE IT, but when Optimus says I should help you, Im not about to disobey him. Especially since a Decepticon is already ON earth.” Bumblebee remained quite as Windblade added, “and seeing as you now have a human with you, youll need all the backup you can get protecting her from the Con.” Bumblebee whirled in agreement as he started beeping and clicking giving the location where they were heading to her. “Sounds like a plan. Ill fly to earth as fast as i can, scan me an earth mode to blend in, and meet you at this Canterlot. Windblade out!”

---

Starscream blasted across the sky in his Alt. Mode using his scanner to locate the autobot that apparently came to earth. “Where are you, you blasted scout?” He grumbled to himself as the human scanner that was installed didnt give him a single detection. “How is it that one little Autobot is able to hide himself from ME? STARSCREAM, COMMANDER OF THE SEEKER ARMADA!!!!” He snapped at himself only to pick up a radio transmission as his radar began going off. “Ah, i knew if i kept my cool, hed turn up eventually!” he said acting like he never blew up a few seconds ago as he flew away from the city of Ponyville out into the desert after his prey.

Sighing, Twilight folded her seat back putting her arms behind her arms behind yawning. “Might as well take a nap son, its gonna be awhile before we get to my parents.” She said tiredly. Shining sighed looking in the mirror spotting a plane in the sky following them closely. “Is that plane abit to close to the ground?” Shining Armor asked leaning closer to the mirror. Twilight grumbled sitting back up and looking into her mirror before saying, “Yyyyeah... Thats... Weird...” She said only to pale up as she spotted missiles fold out of the plane aiming at them. “QUICK BEE SPEED UP!” She screamed slamming her foot on the gas peddle just as the missiles fired. However, Bumblebee skidded to a halt having the missiles soar past them blowing the road up.

Moving her hair out of her face, Twilight watched as the plane flew over before transforming into a massive robot titan, thrusters in its feet having it fly over the hole as it grinned at the car. “There you are you scout!” He said flying over to the car. Twilight gasped as Bumblebee transformed having them fall onto the ground as he got into a battle stance before turning to them waving them to hid before turning back having his battle mask activate over his face as Starscream landed on the ground, a wicked grin on his face as his right arm morphed into a buzz saw and aimed at Bumblebee. “Your coming with me traitor!” The massive robot said as he swung his saw at him, only for her to leap over it, a blade forming out of his left arm as he slashed at the saw blade to try and stop it. “NICE TRY!” the giant yelled pulling back and kicked Bee down, slamming his foot onto Bumblebee’s chest raising the saw up ready to bring it down. Before he could however, he morphed his right arm into a blaster and shot his arm making him miss where he was aiming, which was his head, now slam into the ground.

Twilight watched the scene unfold as she grabbed her son and ran over behind a tree, groaning in pain as she grabbed her stomach in pain. “This is the worst thing to be doing with an unborn child!” She moaned in pain as she watched the two robots battle it out. Bumblebee was now on the back of the larger one shooting him in the back trying to rip his wings off only for Starscream to leap into the air having his thrusters activate, swinging his saw at Bee. Bumblebee raised his blade back up to block the saw only to fall off his back no longer holding onto Starscream’s back and started to fall into the hole only for Starscream to grab him by the feet and spun around throwing him into the hole hard. “Thats where you Autobots belong, in a hole!” Starscream said as his saw converted into a blaster, having his other arm morph as well into a blaster. Bumblebee beeped in pain as he watched Starscream get ready to fired. “LEAVE HIM ALONE!” the two robots heard, Starscream turned to see Shining Armor run up to him. Grinning, Starscream landed on the ground and got in the boys face. “And what are YOU gonna do to stop me, STARSCREAM, COMMANDER OF THE SEEKER ARMADA?” He screamed as Twilight ran out, hissing in pain and grabbing her son as the Decepticon aimed at them.

Suddenly they heard the sound of converting as they watched Bumblebee fly up the side of the hole in his car mode before transforming back into robot mode blasting Starscream in the back before diving under him grabbing Twilight and Shining Armor and transforming back into his car mode driving around the hole towards an abandoned town. Groaning, Starscream turned to see them drive off and growl. “Not today Autobot.” He said leaping into the air morphing into his jet form and flying after them. Bumblebee skidded to a halt a few blocks in and opened his doors letting Twilight and Shining Armor out before transforming back to robot mode. “Quick, hide” came out of his radio before running back towards the center of town just as Starscream flew over, aiming for the sky before transforming and slammed into the ground, fist slamming in as he crouched on his knees. Bumblebee frowned before having his battle mask activate and watched as Starscream rose to full height.

“Where are your little human ‘pets’ scout?” He asked expecting some kinda of answer only to scowl when Bee said nothing. “Whats the matter? Scraplet got your tongue?” He asked slowly walking in a circle around him before remembering, “Oh thats right. You CANT talk. Your only lucky Megatron tore your voicebox out. When Im finished with you, there wont be enough left to sell you for spare parts.” Bumblebee’s fists tightened and charged at him only for Starscream to activate his thrusters and leapt over the building having Bumblebee slam into the wall. “Your just TO SLOW AUTOBOT!” he screamed with glee leaping onto another building having missiles fold out of his arms and began firing at the building Bumblebee slammed into, “BUMBLEBEE!!!” Twilight Velvet screamed out from their hiding spot, unfortunately heard by Starscream as he leapt back onto the ground grinning as his massive footsteps stomped over to the hiding humans. “Hehe, Was he your friend?” he said gleefully before getting right down to the level Twilight and her son were, his glowing red eyes full of joy as he reached to grab them.

“Dont worry, Ill reunite you with him shortly.” He said only for the rubble that was on top of Bumblebee to explode as Bee leapt from it, firing a grappling hook at Starscream’s wing, pulling him back away from Bumblebee’s friends. “So you still live you pest? Very well, Ill rip you apart then!” Starscream screamed having his arm morph back into a buzz saw and swung at the yellow scout only for Bee to leap over the saw and dragged the cable over Starscreams arm pulling it closer to his body, having it slice into Starscream instead. “GAH!!!” YOU LITTLE SCRAPLET, ILL KILL YOU!!!” He screamed in pain only for Bumblebee to transform mostly into his car mode, having the arm that had the cable still in robot mode as he started driving circles around Starscream, tightening it around him until he could barely move.

“You think this will stop me?” He asked getting ready to break free as Bumblebee drove straight at him only to morph back to robot mode kicking Starscream into another building, cutting off the cable attached to him before having his arm morph into a blaster firing a few rounds at the massive Decepticon, slamming his head into the wall as he fell over, getting knocked unconscious. Sighing, Bee disengaged his weapon and battle mask before turning to Twilight and Shining Armor, seeing them look at him in fear. Twilight watched as Bee walked over beeping at them to see if they were ok. “Is it over?” Twilight asked, only for Bee to look over to Starscream’s body to twitch abit but not move otherwise. He then turned back shaking his head beeping sadly. “Then we better get moving before he reboots.” She said as Bumblebee transformed back into his alt mode and let them in before driving them out of the abandoned town.

-------

Bumblebee pulled up to the outskirts of Canterlot only to pull up to a look out point and let Twilight and her son out before transforming into his robot mode and looked around the area. “Alright, where exactly is this Allspark located?” Shining Armor asked as Bumblebee shrugged looking around the area. “It could be anywhere...” Twilight said sighing as Bumblebee transformed back into his car mode and let them back in, before driving back to the street heading to Canterlot.

-------

Bulk frowned as him and his team walked into the smashed town spotting the knocked out body of Starscream. “Get up solider!” He said kicking the giant robot’s leg. Starscream twitched as his red eyes slowly open up as he breaks out of the cable and slowly stood back up. “Where did he go?” the giant asked frustrated looking down at the human. “He knocked you out and got away.” Bulk said turning around. “And the both of you smashed up this Ghost town! Its good that no one lived here anymore or else wed have to find a way to cover this up.” he said crossing his arms as the robot stood up to full height crossing his arms in frustration.

“I dont have time for this. That Scout could tear your planet apart piece by piece if we dont stop him...” Starscream said looking down at the human vermin he hated having to work with until he leapt into the air and transformed into his alt mode, blasting back towards the human military base. Bulk growled and walked back to his jeep. “Get somebody down here and clean up this mess before someone finds it! And get ahold of base to keep watch on Starscream. I dont trust him for a second.” He said before climbing back into the jeep and motioning for the driver to drive.

Starscream groaned in frustration as a voice started talking out of his radio. “Come in Air Commander Starscream. This is Slipstream, Lord Megatron wants a report on the situation.” the voice said. “Yes Slipstream, this is Starscream. Tell him that I almost had the Autobot until he managed to entrap me and knocked me out cold. Im back in the hunt for him now and will hopefully have him located and exterminated within a few earth days. But not before I torture him for what he did to me. Starscream out!”

-------

Slipstream crossed her arms at the failure of her commander and spun around on her thrusts before walking to Megatron’s command room. As she entered, she watched as Megatron aimed his cannon at a red Autobot with horns on his head. “Any last words Autobot?” He got ready to say something, but then Megatron pulled the trigger blowing his spark out. “I thought not.” He said coldly before turning to Thundercracker. “Clean this up.” He ordered calmly before turning towards Slipstream. “What is the status on Starscream?” Gulping, she put her hands behind her back and stood to attention.

“Lord Megatron, Commander Starscream has made contact with the enemy, however, he was beaten by the Autobot on earth, but he still functions and is now back in pursuit of him.” She said hoping Megatron wouldnt blast her for the report. Growling, Megatron stood up and stomped past her. “I tire of Starscream and his failures. How HARD is it to destroy one little Autobot?” He said in rage before stomping to a computer and slammed a button on it having two Decepticons appear on it. “Shatter, Dropkick, report.”
