Chapter 1: Welcome to the Camp

The school bus and Sideswipe arrived at the beautiful nature forest and lake, where the camp office, campsite and dock were set. An area called 'Camp Everfree'.

Most of the staffs and students emerged out from the school bus, though Saber Dragoon and Aquastroke struggled in getting the fearfully screaming Laxtinct out from the seats.

"Lax, will you stop holding the chair for Pete's sake?!" Aquastroke exclaimed in annoyance.

Saber Dragoon nodded and groaned in annoyance, "Yeah! Come on! We don't wanna miss it!"

"I said 'no'! I am not gonna camp here! I wanna go home!" Laxtinct screamed in anger and fear as he held the seat tightly, "Why did you ask me?!"

Saber Dragoon groaned, "Because you agree to come with us. Besides, you want to swim."

"Swimming Pool! Not the lake! That's different! The lake is so dirty and disgusting! I hate it especially bugs, poison ivy, crazy squirrels, monkeys and everything I hate about camp!"

"Laxtinct, that camp you went is a quarantine zone because of manager's poor management and responsibility! So, stop complaining and come out now!"

"I SAID NO!"

Aquastroke groaned in annoyance as she cracked her fists gently, "I hate doing this, but you ask for it."

Laxtinct gasped in shock, "Oh no! Don't you dare-!"

POW! Laxtinct groaned and moaned painfully as he gone into unconsciousness. Saber Dragoon looked surprise before glared at Aquastroke in annoyance. She shrugged innocently as she has no choice. He sighed in defeat yet agreement about her way. Laxtinct really need to stop complaining about going to camp.

Aquastroke and Saber Dragoon dragged unconscious Laxtinct out of school bus. The Canterlot High School students awed in amazement and surprise as they were watching the landscape and area. They all chatted and commented happily about how beautiful and great Camp Everfree.

"Isn't Camp Everfree just beautiful?" Fluttershy asked happily, "I can't wait until we have our first nature walk."

Spike smiled, "I definitely wanna go on one of those."

"You wanna see all the adorable woodland creatures, too?"

"Yeah! Specifically squirrels! More specifically, so I can chase 'em!" Spike barked happily before panted a bit. He turned and glanced at Dragoking slithered down from the bus's ramp. He scoffed, "What about you, Dragoking? What are you gonna do?"

Dragoking groaned, "Sleep. Eat. Follow my master. And no activity."

"Yeah. I figure you would think of that. After all, you're scared of me because dogs are the best."

"So annoying..."

"Says to a big fat lazy snake."

"Really annoying, Spike..."

"Oh yeah? Aren't you proud that we are the first and the only animals can talk? It's the best! You have no idea of how much I really want to talk with Twilight Sparkle and Nyx since they and I are very close!"

Dragoking groaned while rolled his eyes in annoyance, "Don't you ever shut up for once?"

"Sheesh. It's just a talk only. You're really stubborn, Dragoking," Spike said in annoyance. He turned and noticed Fluttershy's sad looks. He hummed in concern, "What's wrong, Fluttershy? You seemed to be upset."

Fluttershy sighed as she looked up at the sky, "If only Terrorcreep is here..."

During bringing down their equipment and bags down, Shorty Thinking and Tailtech overheard of what happen. Fluttershy really loved him so much since she was adopted, raised, mentored and loved by him as a family and boyfriend. They both looked at each other for the moment as they sighed in shame and concern. They approached her at once.

"Fluttershy, I'm sorry." Shorty Thinking said in concern and shame as he patted on her back gently, "But I promise you that we will find him and our missing friends."

Aquastroke sighed, "I hope so. I just hope he, Blazefist and Icy are alright."

"They'll be fine, coach," Rainbow Dash said confidently while nudged on her shoulder with her punch, "After all, they've been through lots of tough situation. They can handle it."

"Maybe," Aquastroke said in concern. She raised her left eyebrow in amusement before she patted Rainbow Dash's hair, "But you're right. They'll be fine. Thanks, kiddo."

Rainbow Dash giggled in amusement, "No problem, coach. I've got your back, coach."

"And so do I," Scootaloo exclaimed as she hugged Rainbow Dash, "I'm always have your back, Dash!"

Rainbow Dash chuckled a bit as she gave a noogie on Scootaloo, "I know, Scoots, I know. That's what sister are for."

"What are family for," Aquastroke said calmly as she held Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo shoulders, "As long we all have each other's back."

Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo smiled, "You said it."

Applejack sighed in relief as she took her bag out of school bus's luggage compartment, "I'm just lookin' forward to roughin' it. I'm gonna make my own shelter, forage for food..."

"Uh, you know they provide us with food and tents, right?" Tailtech asked in concern.

Applejack smiled and shrugged, "Yup! Still gonna forage though."

"Hey, AJ. You'd think you can teach me about being a good camper," Apple Bloom asked hopefully.

Applejack smiled as she held Apple Bloom close to her, "Not a problem. I'm always here for you, Apple Bloom."

Sideswipe helped Rarity in getting and taking tons of luggage bags out from bus's luggage compartment. He placed them near to her.

"That's the last of it." Sideswipe said calmly, "You really need to pack them in light like Sunset Shimmer and others. I'm sure of what you brought here aren't really important."

"I'm gonna ignore your comments. But I thank you for your assistance, Sideswipe," Rarity sighed in relief, "I'm just after some R&R. The past year has all been a bit too much for my taste."

Sweetie Belle nodded in agreement, "And what better way to get some R&R is to get to see the beauty of nature and get to be a camper."

Rarity smiled as she patted Sweetie Belle's hair gently, "I guess you got the point, Sweetie Belle. Let's just hope we can relax for once and a while from the adventure and fighting we've been through. It's tiresome."

"I'll say! We fought three evil sirens who tried to hypnotize everybody with their singing, one ridiculously competitive rival school, an evil rulerand three group of bad guys to our Dragon Strike Force, Autobots and G.I Joe who wants our magic for their doomsday machine, and two demon friends!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed in concern in recounting the battles she and her friends fought. She then noticed Sunset Shimmer's calm looks and Twilight Sparkle's shame looks. She gulped, "Uh, heh heh, no offense."

Emerged from the bag, Wheelie groaned, "Thanks a lot, Pinkie Pie!" Wheelie turned and glared at Twilight Sparkle, "She's the demon! Blame her!"

Brains nodded in agreement, "Yeah, she's the one who's trying to kill us! She must go to jail now!"

"Seriously? Again with this?" Sideswipe asked in annoyance, "You really need to stop it."

Pinkie Pie groaned in concern, "That's kinda mean to Twilight, you know? She didn't mean to do bad things."

"Don't worry about me, Pinkie. These guys are overprotective of me. But they really need to be sensitive to someone else," Sunset Shimmer groaned in annoyance as she gave a hard punches on Wheelie and Brains. She turned and patted Twilight Sparkle's back gently, "You'll get used to it."

Nyx hugged Twilight Sparkle, "If you ever need comfort, I'm always here for you, sis. After all, what sisters are for?"

Twilight Sparkle smiled a bit as she hugged Nyx back, "Thanks, Nyx. I owe you one. You're the best sister I could count on."

"Well, either way, Canterlot High has become a regular magic magnet." Applejack said in concern. She sighed in relief, "Gonna be nice gettin' away to a place where we don't have to worry about that kinda stuff."

Lance Justicestrike nodded, "And not to mention, no bad guys to come and get us for their Rainbow Energon and Dark Rainbow Energon manufacturing. Haven't heard of them lately."

"That's something we agree on," Apple Bloom nodded in agreement.

Tailtech nodded in agreement, "It's for the best."

Flash Sentry and Shadow Dragon approached to both Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle. The boys were carrying and passing the bags to the girls.

"I believe these are your bags, miladies," Flash Sentry said gently and calmly.

Shadow Dragon nodded in agreement, "Yeah. We don't want you to forget about yours so easily."

Sunset Shimmer smiled in taking the bag from her boyfriend, "Thanks, Flash. I owe you one."

"Yeah," Twilight Sparkle smile a bit as she took her bag from Shadow Dragon, "You two are such good gentlemen. We're lucky to have one like you."

"Not a problem," Shadow Dragon smiled before giving a kiss on his girlfriend's cheek. He turned and looked at the camp, "I think this is gonna be the best camp ever."

Twilight Sparkle giggled, "Yeah. I can't wait to try this place!"

"Just so you know, Twilight, whatever happens to you or any of our friends and family, I won't let bad things happen to them especially to you. That's a promise."

"Shadow Dragon..."

"I've lost Iris Crystal." Shadow Dragon said in concern as he hugged Twilight Sparkle passionately, "And I almost lost you once to dark magic. I won't lose you again."

Twilight Sparkle was surprised yet relief as she hugged him back, "I know. Thank you, Dragon Hope. You're really a good boyfriend a girl could ask for..."

"So..." Flash Sentry looked at Sunset Shimmer. He smiled, "you gonna do next after some setting up at our tents?"

Sunset Shimmer smirked as she kissed Flash Sentry's cheek, "Maybe some swimming. You're good at it, right? I really need a partner to be there for me."

Flash Sentry blushed in amusement while scratching his head gently, "Yes, I am."

"Love's in the air. I like it. Eeyup." The familiar voice spoke, causing two couples and their friends surprise. They turned to their back and found Flare Tiger in her camping sports attire approaching them. She smiled, "Glad the gang are here. It would have been bore without you all."

"Flare Tiger, I was wondering where you've been," Shadow Dragon said in amusement, "Been busy in camp's preparation?"

Flare Tiger giggled, "That's my game, cous. You know me too well. And you're gonna like this. I've got some people for you to meet again."

HONK! Twilight Sparkle and her friends turned to their left as they found a group of familiar people and new version of vehicles arrived at the area. As Yeager Family, G.I. Joe, Agent Simmons, Sam and Mikaela emerged from vehicles, the transports transformed into familiar robots.

The students gasped in surprise as they all cheered wildly and happily. They all pleading and begging their favorite heroes for autograph and pictures, making both Autobots and G.I. Joe sighed in doing the favor for them.

"Hey, man!" Shane whispered to Cade Yeager in annoyance, "I thought we're gonna go to beach! You lie to me! Again!"

Cade groaned in annoyance, "I'd say going to our special place, not beach! Get it right, Leprechaun! This place is important to me and Tessa's mom. So, respect it!"

Shane scoffed, "Respect to my boots, old man!"

"Hey, easy," Sam said calmly while coming in-between Cade and Shane, "We're here to enjoy our vacay and get to know each other, so we can establish our friendship. After all, we're the only humans befriend with the Autobots, remember?"

"Stay out of it!" Shane and Cade exclaimed in annoyance.

Sam yelped in concern, "Okay, maybe not..."

Tessa sighed, "Boys..."

Mikaela giggled in amusement, "Don't worry, they'll get over it. Just let's enjoy our vacation."

Nyx gasped, "They're here! Optimus Prime is here!"

"And the Autobots and G.I. Joe are here too!" Cutie Mark Crusaders cheered happily.

Lance Justicestrike smiled, "It looks like the gang is back!"

Autobots and G.I. Joe approached Twilight Sparkle and her friends. Both sides greeted to each other happily and calmly.

Scarlett smiled, "I didn't know you all would be here."

"Never thought we would come on the same place," Duke said in surprise, "But it is surprise and coincidence to have some company."

Optimus Prime smiled, "It is an honor to see you all again."

"It sure is," Twilight Sparkle said calmly, "You all are on vacation as well?"

Hound chuckled while smoking, "Got that right. And this time, it's gonna be a great vacation! No Decepticons, No Cobra and no nonsense protests about us!"

"I'm with you for that one, tough guy," Roadblock said calmly.

Drift sighed, "Indeed. A perfect refreshment."

"Yeah. A perfect vacation for all of us only," Crosshairs said calmly and proudly, "No worries, no duty to deal with about."

Sideswipe smirked, "Hey, Bee? Any channel you wanna rock on?"

Bumblebee radioed and sang wildly, "What time is it?! Summer's Time!"

Flint chuckled in amusement, "Yes, it is, Bumblebee. And we're gonna enjoy it!"

Lady Jaye smiled, "Yeah. Nothing is going to ruin our long week of vacation. Is everyone with me about this?"

Snake Eyes nodded in agreement, making everyone chatted and commented in agreement about taking a good vacation from magic and fighting with bad guys for good.

"Sounds like we're on same page," Sunset Shimmer said calmly.

Shadow Dragon smiled, "Yes, Sunset. Let's not worry too much of everything especially our enemies and magic now. Just relax and enjoy our vacation."

Flash Sentry smirked, "You bet on it, Shadow Dragon."

Thinking of what her friends have said, Twilight Sparkle smiled in relief and happy, "Yeah. You're right about one thing, guys. Just relax and forget about the problem..."

"Hey, everyone!" The girl's voice exclaimed through a P.A. speaker across the campsite, "If you could start heading to the courtyard, that would be rad! It's time to start the best week of camp ever!"

"It looks it's about to start," Twilight Sparkle said in surprise, "I guess we should get on it now."

Everyone chatted in agreement as they and the students headed to the courtyard for getting some greetings and information from camp consultants. Their camping trip will begin soon...

As the sun was glaring and shinning brightly, a familiar large ship and a few of warships were flying across the forest-like. Within Lockdown's Knight Ship, Galvatron was sitting on his cockpit as he was watching the holographic video clips from his past. He groaned in annoyance and concern as he hated being defeated and losing to his enemies. And at the same time, he was drinking a canister of Rainbow Energon.

The cockpit's door opened. Cyclonus, Scourge and Onslaught entered the area. They all noticed what Galvatron was doing. It surprised and shocked them a lot.

"Lord Galvatron! What are you doing?!" Onslaught exclaimed in concern as he rushed and took the canister away from him. Galvatron growled in anger as he turned and glared at him. He gulped, "My Lord... Are you alright?"

Instead of retaliating at Onslaught, Galvatron sighed calmly, "I'm fine... I'm perfectly fine. I have never felt better than before."

"Lord Galvatron, I'm still against the idea of this," Cyclonus said in concern, "It's... It's not good for you. You're sick!"

Scourge nodded in agreement, "I'm with Cyclonus. I beg you to stop now!"

"Quiet..." Galvatron snarled a bit as he grabbed another canister of Dark Rainbow Energon, "Who knew drinking these two artificial Energon could make you so powerful and deadly?" He sighed calmly, "I can feel it energy flows through me..."

"Are you certain?" Cyclonus asked in concern.

Scourge nodded in concern, "Perhaps Shockwave and Soundwave could assist us and make you better now before you'll get terrible disease in your system! You're not well."

"No. I am fine." Galvatron said calmly. He sighed as he laid on his chair, "Tell them both - to continue their search and locate Optimus Prime and his allies. We must discuss and negotiate due to The Legendary Cybertronian Knights. The prophecy is coming soon..."

"That's why we're here to ask, my lord. Is it wise to trust Optimus Prime and the Autobots? And even trade the information to them?" Onslaught asked in concern, "I understand the Cobra because they're the only allies we can trust. But our enemies, are you certain?"

Cyclonus nodded, "We too feared of them. But should we not consider leave this world for a better one? The Earth serves us no purpose anymore."

"I agree. Let these humans die in hell for their greed and lust for power," Scourge exclaimed in agreement.

"Perhaps. But this world still serve us some purpose," Galvatron said calmly, "I know. Deep down of ancient history, there are some artifacts and weapons behind for us to find and use. Two worlds will be mine soon..." He growled a bit, "Leave me..."

Scourge, Cyclonus and Onslaught nodded in agreement as they turned and left the cockpit at once. Three of them have their own discussion.

"He's been like this since that day." Onslaught said in concern.

Cyclonus hissed in fear, "Indeed. Ever since we have taken the supplies of Rainbow Energon and Dark Rainbow Energon with us, he's been acting strangely and differently. His Transformanium is becoming unstable and strange..."

"I fear our leader may not able to live much longer." Scourge said in concern, "But what I'm concern the most is negotiating with Autobots. And give them the information. I'm against it."

"Either way, we must defend our lord and master." The calm and firm voice spoke. Three commanders of Decepticons looked up and found Soundwave Cybertronian Mode arrived to the scene. He continued, "Our lord is right. First, we must deal with threats by joining our nemeses together. Then, we can return to our conquest as Lord Galvatron wanted. Lord of Decepticons must live..."

"Yes, I agreed!" The firm snarling voice exclaimed. Four Decepticons turned to their right and found a black humanoid policeman-like entered the scene. He clenched his fists tightly, "Without him, we will be lost without any leaders. I, Barricade will not let that happen like last time!"

Onslaught hummed, "They're right. Despite of what happen and our constant defeats by our enemies, we must deal with the current threats first. We must work together with Autobots for now."

"By giving up our pride, I hope it's worth it," Scourge snarled in concern, "This is for our lord and Decepticons!"

Cyclonus nodded in agreement, "Yes. It's the only way for our survival and plans of conquest on Earth."

Decepticons cheered wildly and proudly as they all willingly to do anything to help and protect their master. Within the cockpit, Galvatron continued watching the holographic video clips while drinking Rainbow Energon slowly. He growled like a wild animal as he was glaring at Optimus Prime and his allies especially G.I. Joe, Rainbooms and Dragon Strike Force.

"As much as I hate you and your allies so much, Prime; but you all are worthy opponent I ever face especially you. You've become more like me and a true animal indeed." Galvatron said calmly as his face slowly shifted and changed into a predator's mask-like. He growled, "We will meet soon, Prime..."

---

Behind the Decepticons' Flagship and warships, Cobra Command Flagship and its warships followed them behind. Within Flagship's commander cockpit, Cobra Commander was watching the event and even the video clips screens from his past. He smirked beneath his mask.

"Despite the overwhelming numbers, numerous strategies and outrageous powerful weapons we have, the Joes have overcome the obstacles," Cobra Commander said in surprise, "I salute to them and their determination. And I have to agree with Galvatron about this decision. It's for the best."

"Are you certain it's wise, Commander?" Destro asked as he approached his commanding officer, "Even if we did find them, I doubt they will give us the chance of negotiation. They would rather kill us than talking."

Baroness nodded in agreement, "Perhaps we should consider our escape plan before the prophecy could fulfill. I do not wish to face the wrath of Thirteen Cybertronian Knights."

"No. We will stay on course," Cobra Commander said calmly and firmly, making his officers looked shock and surprise. He continued, "I doubt G.I Joe will kill me without letting them know of our information to trade. And my sister will not let me be harmed."

Dr. Mindbender hummed as he smiled, "Using the family relationship against both Duke and Scarlett, they have no choice but to heed your proposal and information. Twisted and interesting, Commander."

Cobra Commander nodded, "Yes. If we were to survive the prophecy, we must work together until that is over. So, no matter what happen, no one is allow to attack Joes including my sister until our alliance is complete, understand?"

"Yes, sir!" Cobra Commanding Officers exclaimed.

Cobra Commander sighed calmly, "If things goes well, then we'll go back to the way it was especially our plans to conquer and recreate the new world under our images..."

---

At the Camp Everfree's Courtyard, Canterlot High School students and staffs including Autobots and G.I. Joe were gathered as they were all waiting for the camp consultants. Pinkish girl in her late 30's worn the yellow blouse, short jean, brown shoes and a flower crown entered the shelter, along with a tall tanned man in his 25 with greenish hair worn a cap, red T-Shirt, green shorts and brown shoes and a blue skinned man with gentle black hair in his ranger uniform. The introduction for Camp Everfree is about to begin...

"Hi, everyone! Welcome to Camp Everfree! I'm Gloriosa Daisy, your camp director! Think of me as your friendly camp and nature guide" Gloriosa Daisy introduced herself via her microphone, she turned to both of men, "And this is my brother, Timber Spruce! And that blue guy is my camp consultant and manager - Mr. T himself."

Mr. T smiled and bowed in respect as he took a microphone, "It is an honor to have you all here, campers. We hope you enjoy this place as much as you can. And above all, please follow the rules for your safety. We don't want to have accidents."

"Yeah, yeah! We get the point, Mr T. Just relax," Timber Spruce exclaimed in amusement as he took a mike, "Think of me as that awesome guy... who should always be invited to fun things."

Gloriosa Daisy shook her head in amusement, "We aim to please, so before we hand out our tent assignments, we'd like to hear from all of you. You're free to do whatever you like here!"

Surprised by Gloriosa Daisy's announcement, everyone chatted happily about what activities

"Uh, except hike near the rock quarry. That's off limits." Timber Spruce added in concern.

Mr. T smiled as he added, "Like I said, follow the rules."

Gloriosa Daisy sighed, "Yes, but otherwise, your options are wide open. So what activities will make this the very best week of your lives ever?"

"How about some sexy ladies?!" Wheelie exclaimed happily as he emerged from the bag.

Brains chuckled in amusement as he joined in, "Yeah, worth our activities!"

The girls yelped in concern while blushed in red. The boys whistled in concern as they looked away from the girls. Rainbooms, Dragon Strike Force, Cutie Mark Crusaders, Autobots and G.I. Joe sighed in annoyance. Gloriosa Daisy, Timber Spruce and Mr. T were in shock and concern of what the Minicons have said.

"Stupid Minicons," Arcee said in annoyance, "What were they thinking?"

"I don't think I want to know that," Smokescreen said in concern.

Prowl nodded, "I second for that."

"Me three," Breakaway nodded in agreement.

"Seriously? This again?" Crosshairs asked in annoyance.

Bumblebee sighed, "Some bots never change..."

Mikaela sighed in annoyance, "Not again..."

"Honestly, they really need to stop this," Sam said in concern.

"Will you both shut up?!" Sunset Shimmer exclaimed as she gave a hard punches on Wheelie and Brains' heads. She chuckled uneasily as she turned to Gloriosa Daisy, "Sorry! Don't mind these two! They just have some silly ideas without consulting with me again..."

Gloriosa Daisy giggled uneasily, "It's understandable. Any suggestion that doesn't involve with exotic ideas?"

Rainbow Dash gasped, "Oh! Oh! Rock climbing! Archery! Tetherball!"

"Oh! Now, that's the better idea!" Gloriosa Daisy exclaimed in relief.

"Arts and crafts!" Bulk Biceps added, causing both Laxtinct and Flash Sentry looked at him. He squeaked meekly, "My mom... needs new pot holders."

Pinkie Pie squealed happily, "Cookie decorating!"

"Early morning nature walks?" Fluttershy asked.

"Martial Arts," Shadow Dragon called. Everyone looked at him in surprise. He sighed, "It's a good meditation, exercise and finding an inspiration for skills."

Flash Sentry smiled, "Sounds good to me, senpai!"

"Right..." Timer Spruce said uneasily, "Though I'd never thought of it in the first place. Asian People really got cool skills in martial arts. I sure like to learn one..."

"This is amazing and perfect!" Gloriosa Daisy said in amazement and relief, "Keep it up! Anymore?"

"Video Games! Television! Comic Books! Nachos! Fast foods! Sweets!" Laxtinct exclaimed in fear, "I beg you! Give me those items now! I hate camp!"

Once again, everyone have a shock and concern expression again. And this time, they're very annoyed by Laxtinct's attitude and demands.

"Laxtinct..." Aquastroke said in annoyance, "Why this again?"

Saber Dragoon shook his head, "You really need stop complaining."

Laxtinct groaned, "I HATE CAMP!"

"Wow? What's with that guy?" Tunnel Rat asked in concern.

Spirit sighed, "I sense disturbance in him. He has great despise on camping trip since his second grade. And he hasn't overcome his traumatic experience. I feel pity for him..."

Ripcord groaned, "Just what we need - a party popper..."

Mr. T sighed, "We're gonna pretend that we didn't hear what you have just say."

"Hate camp? What's with him?!" Gloriosa Daisy asked in annoyance. She sighed calmly, "Anyone else with good ideas?"

"Ooh! Me!" Rarity called happily. Everyone turned and looked at her, "Oh, uh, a fashion show! Where I design the most fabulous camp looks inspired by today's hottest trends and have them modeled by my classmates in a gorgeous outdoor setting!"

Gloriosa Daisy sighed in relief, "A camp tradition! A better suggestion! Thank you!"

"We have literally never done that." Timber Spruce said in concern.

Mr. T smiled as he patted Timber Spruce's shoulder, "First time for everything, my dear boy. After all, this is your sister - enthusiastic and adventurous."

"Right, you do make a point."

Timber Spruce turned and noticed Twilight Sparkle chatted in amusement with her best friends about what activities they can do. He gasped before he wowed and awed in amazement.

Felt someone looking at her, Twilight Sparkle turned to the shelter as she noticed his glance on her. Looking at his appearance and gentle handsome looks, she blushed in red. She quickly looked away and hid her blush. Her friends noticed it as they laughed and giggled in amusement. Her action hasn't gone unnoticed by her current boyfriend - Shadow Dragon. He didn't like it.

"Hey, who's that girl?"

Mr. T turned and looked at Timber Spruce's glance. He smiled in amusement, "Hmm... Interesting. You have attraction on her, don't you?"

"What?! No! That's crazy! I just-" Timber Spruce said in concern before cleared his throat, "I just want to know about her. That's all! She's kinda cute and beautiful for a student."

Mr T chuckled a bit, "Very well. Her name is Twilight Sparkle - the beautiful yet gifted and intelligent girl among Canterlot High School. And if I were you, watch out for that Dragon Boy. I heard he's very protective of her and deeply in love with her."

Alerted by Mr. T's warning, Timber Spruce gulped in concern and fear. As he saw Shadow Dragon moved closely to Twilight Sparkle, they both chatted calmly about martial arts which she's agree to learn. And at the same time, he gave a firm and angry glare at Timber Spruce.

Timber Spruce yelped in concern as he immediately looked away before he gets himself into trouble. Mr. T laughed in amusement while shaking his head.

"I'll be taking requests the rest of the time you're here," Gloriosa Daisy said as she was writing down on her notes, "so if there's anything you'd like to do, anything you need, just ask."

"What about the camp gift? That was my favorite Camp Everfree tradition." Principal Celestia asked.

Gloriosa Daisy gasped, "The camp gift! Of course!"

"Really?" Timber Spruce asked in annoyance yet softly.

"Yes, really."

"Well, I just thought..."

"Then you thought wrong!"

Mr T sighed as he came in-between the siblings, "Now you two, there is no reason to fight over a little suggestion. After all, I agree with Ms. Daisy. It's very interesting tradition. And we should respect it."

Gloriosa Daisy smiled while Timber Spruce sighed in defeat, "Fine..."

Sunset Shimmer hummed, "Anyone else picking up on a little tension between Gloriosa and her brother?"

"Not really," Brains shrugged.

Wheelie nodded, "I've seen the worse tension than these two. At least, they both not stupid as Mudflap and Skids. They're the dumbest twins in our team. Glad that I don't have to see them again."

Sunset Shimmer hummed, "If you say so..."

Gloriosa Daisy cleared her throat as she explained, "Every year, campers work together to create something useful. A gift for future campers. Working toward this common goal is key to forming the strong bonds that will last well beyond your time here at camp!" She snarled and glared at Timber Spruce softly, "Which is why it's so important."

Mr. T chuckled in amusement, "For example of traditional camp gift - this gazebo, the totem pole and the sundial. All of them done by the campers."

Principal Celestia smiled, "The sundial was our year's gift!"

Vice Principal Luna coughed a bit as she glared at her older sister, "Even though 'some people' thought it was a little impractical, since the sundial can't be used at night."

"Come on, Luna. Ancient times also use sundial, even if it's night time," Han Zero said in amusement. He then kissed her by her cheeks, "So, chill up. You know I'm right."

Vice Principal Luna sighed, "I suppose you're right."

"Either way, I'm sure the students will figure that part out soon," Captain Rexstrike said calmly, "They'll give the best camp gift ever."

"I guess the old man's got the point," Gloriosa Daisy smiled, "You all seem like a-a really amazing group. So, good luck in getting the best inspiration for camp gift!"

Heard of Gloriosa Daisy's encouragement, everyone cheered wildly and happily that they'll make the best camp gifts ever.

"Speaking of leaving things behind," Timber Spruce smiled, "now's the time when we give out tent assignments. So you can leave your heavy bags behind."

Gloriosa Daisy sighed in amusement while shook her head, "Uh, girls will be getting their assignments from Timber and Mr. T. Guys, you're with me."

Mr. T smiled, "The instruction is simple - pick and matched the colors with each other. If you found your partner, then you're a team. Begin now..."

Gloriosa Daisy approached the boys while Mr. T and Timber Spruce moved towards the girls. The camp consultants held the bags for the campers randomly picking the colored card of tent. Aquastroke was excluded since she's a staff member and coach to the school.

After they have taken their own cards from consultants, the campers find their own partners to work and sleep together. Pinkie Pie and Rarity are in Emerald Tent. Applejack and Rainbow Dash for Aquamarine Tent. Fluttershy and Flare Tiger are together in Amethyst Tent. Cutie Mark Crusaders are together at Sunflower Tent. Saber Dragoon and Laxtinct are in Peridot Tent. Shorty Thinking and Tailtech worked as the team for Fire Opal Tent. Shadow Dragon, Flash Sentry and Lance Justicestrike partnered up in Ruby Tent. Twilight Sparkle, Sunset Shimmer and Nyx are together in Sapphire Tent. The campers have found their own partners already.

Twilight Sparkle hummed as she looked at her card, "Technically, sapphires aren't just blue. Heh heh. They can be pink, purple, yellow..."

"Yeah, but they're mostly blue. That's why they're named after the Latin word, sapphirus." Timber Spruce said in amusement as he approached Twilight Sparkle. She smiled in amusement while looking at him. He whispered, "That means 'blue'."

"I know. But did you know that sapphires are just rubies without chromium?"

"No." Timber Spruce answered as he took a card from Twilight Sparkle, making them both blushed. He smiled, "But did you know that Sapphire Tent is the best one?"

"No. Why's that?"

"Because you're in it."

Twilight Sparkle gave the annoyance looks, "Oh, I bet you say that to all the campers."

"Not true." Timber Spruce answered in amusement as he found Shadow Dragon chatting with both Flash Sentry and Lance Justicestrike, "Watch this. I hope your boyfriend likes my remarks."

"I wouldn't do that if I were you!" Twilight Sparkle said in concern, but Timber Spruce headed off at once. She gulped in concern, "Oh boy..."

As Timber Spruce approached Shadow Dragon, he snickered as he asked, "You're in the Ruby Tent? Ha! That's the worst one!"

Shadow Dragon scoffed in annoyance as he turned and glared at Timber Spruce, "So? What's the big deal about it? I've been to worse situation than a stupid tent, buddy."

"Wow! Easy there, I'm just jokin', buddy. Ruby Tent is great. It's like a sapphire, but with chromium."

"I know, genius. Ruby and Sapphire are related and connected to each other. Think I'm that stupid or something?"

"I... I didn't say that. It was just a joke. I didn't mean to make you upset or something. Take it easy, S.D."

"I don't like jokes. They annoyed and irritated me since my birthday. And do you know what happen to the last guy whose tried to joke on me?"

"Uh... No?"

"He was sent to hospital for his face surgery. You don't want that, now do you?"

Timber Spruce gulped, "Of course not. Got your message."

"Good to know," Shadow Dragon said firmly. As he was about to head off, he stopped and glared at Timber Spruce, "And by the way, my friends can call me that. And stay away from my girl. Clear?"

"Crystal!" Timber Spruce nodded in understanding. Shadow Dragon headed off. He sighed as he turned to both Flash Sentry and Lance Justicestrike, "Is he always like that?"

"Yeah, when it comes to a joke," Flash Sentry said in concern, "Believe me, he hates them a lot. Just be cool with him and don't piss him with jokes."

Lance Justicestrike nodded, "Yeah. One important advice: stay away from Twilight Sparkle. He gets jealous easily when any boys gets too close to her."

Timber Spruce scoffed but nodded in understanding, "Got it."

Shadow Dragon approached Twilight Sparkle and her friends. Flash Sentry and Lance Justicestrike caught up with them. They all looked concern and annoyed yet amused by his action.

"What?!" Shadow Dragon asked in annoyance.

Twilight Sparkle sighed, "You really need to relax and enjoy the jokes. And besides, he and I are just chatting, nothing more. It means we're just friends, okay? So, don't worry too much."

Shadow Dragon sighed, "Yeah, right. But I'm watching him. I don't trust that guy."

"Honestly..." Twilight Sparkle said in annoyance, "You're worse as my big brother, you know that?"

Mane Six, Cutie Mark Crusaders, Dragon Strike Force, Autobots, G.I. Joe, Yeager Family, Sam and Mikaela chuckled and laughed in amusement at Twilight Sparkle's remark. It also annoyed Shadow Dragon. His protective and attitude does remind everyone of Shining Armor.

WHISTLE! Everyone turned and looked at Gloriosa Daisy, who moved to the center. She has another announcement to make.

"Okay, everyone, go get settled in." Gloriosa Daisy said calmly, "We'll be meeting at the docks in fifteen minutes to go over some camp safety rules! Lemme know if you need anything!"

"I need somethin'." The strange firm with thick accent called.

Gloriosa Daisy gasped in worry while everyone looked in concern and surprise. They turned to the entrance where an older man with brown combed gentle hair dressed in blue business suit entered the scene.

"Filthy Rich! So nice to see you." Gloriosa Daisy exclaimed in relief as she stopped Filthy Rich from moving towards the students. She groaned as she whispered angrily, "What are you doing here?! Camp is just getting started!"

"Just takin' in the scenery, Gloriosa Daisy. It's so..." Filthy Rich chuckled a bit, "hmm... relaxin'."

Saber Dragoon overheard of it as he raised his eyebrow in suspicion and concern. He has the feeling that there's something suspicious at Camp Everfree.

Gloriosa Daisy groaned in anger as she wanted to scream but Mr. T approached and intervened the argument between her and Filthy Rich.

"Mr. Filthy Rich, this would be very rude and inappropriate of you to come and interfere our camping schedule," Mr. T said calmly. He cleared his throat, "So, I suggest that you should leave and scheduled a meeting for us to discuss our important business. Rest assure, you will get what you need."

Filthy Rich hummed calmly while Gloriosa Daisy glared at him firmly and angrily. Mr. T remained firm and calm while looking at them both.

Filthy Rich sighed in defeat, "Fine. Remember our deal, Mr. T?"

"I certainly do, Mr. Rich. Now do you mind?" Filthy Rich asked calmly, "We have our camping schedule to attend."

Filthy Rich nodded firmly as he turned and exited the Camp Everfree at once. He approached his limo as he left the camp. Everyone chatted and discussed with each other about what and why was Filthy Rich here. This makes Gloriosa Daisy scared and concern.

"Don't worry too much of it, everyone. Mr. Rich is here for the scenery and reminder of his past experience at camp," Mr. T said calmly. He smiled, "So, let us not be bothered by his appearance and reason. Return to your tents and settle in. We have important schedule to attend now."

Gloriosa Daisy smiled, "He's right! We've got the best week of camp ever to begin! So, move along now!"

Everyone chatted and cheered wildly and happily as they headed off to their tents now. Gloriosa Daisy turned and smiled to Mr. T.

"Thank you so much, Mr. T for everything," Gloriosa Daisy said in relief, "I don't know what I'd do without you."

Mr. T smiled calmly, "I assure you. Everything is fine, Gloriosa Daisy. You can trust in me..."

Twilight Sparkle was following her friends and classmates, which was guided and led by Gloriosa Daisy to girl's camping site. As they continued walking, Twilight Sparkle looked uncomfortable and scared for some reason like something or someone was stalking.

"Judgment Day..." The gloom voice said darkly, surprised Twilight Sparkle in shock and worry. She looked around in search for it. He continued, "Sister... Why?! Why betray me?!"

Twilight Sparkle looked concern and scared. She wondered who is the voice and why would he haunt her. What was it he wanted?

As Twilight Sparkle continued walking and passing by some trees, one of her shadows from fifth tree shown to be a shadowy knight figure. She gasped in shock as she quickly returned to it and check on the shadows. It was her own instead. She sighed in relief.

"Twilight?" Nyx called as she approached Twilight Sparkle, "You okay?"

Twilight Sparkle shook her head before smiled, "I'm okay. Sorry to worry you, Nyx."

"Come on. We can't get behind from others."

"Got it."

Twilight Sparkle and Nyx managed to catch up with the classmates as they arrived at the girls' camping site.

---

At the boys' camping site, the male students including Shadow Dragon and his team were settling down at their own tents. At Peridot Tent, Saber Dragoon and Laxtinct were settling down. As Saber Dragoon was unpacking his stuffs down, Laxtinct hid underneath the bed. This annoyed and irritated the detective.

"Honestly, Lax. Will you knock it off for once," Saber Dragoon said in annoyance, "This is not Camp Doom Mess. Just relax and enjoy its scenery for dragon's sake! I heard that Camp Everfree is the best place to camp."

Laxtinct squealed in fear as he remained underneath the bed, "Maybe for you! Stinking camp is still stinking camp! And I hate it! Where're my TVs and sweets?! I need them now!"

Saber Dragoon groaned in annoyance as he just finished his unpacking stuffs out. He then approached to the table, along with his laptop and small drive-like device. Setting his laptop up, he then began typing down on his in searching more.

"What you need is to keep your big mouth shut and try it out for once," Saber Dragoon said firmly and annoyingly. He then looked through his laptop, "Hmm... I wonder what and why Gloriosa Daisy so against with Filthy Rich. Something's going on here. And not to mention, I've seen Mr. T's face from somewhere before. And I'm gonna find out."

Laxtinct groaned, "How about we figure out in asking the bus to get us out of here?! That would be good idea!"

"Seriously, Lax? You're still on this again?!"

"I am! Think about the city, Sab? No grossing water and dirt! No wild animals! No icky plants! No bugs! Just all you can eat, play and watch from our own home! Wouldn't be that fun?"

"You should try it, Lax. After all, you're an Wrecker Mutant-Type with Earth Power. So, you and this place are related."

"Very funny, Saber. Very funny..."

Saber Dragoon rolled his eyes in annoyance, "Fine, suit yourself. Just don't disturb me. I need to do some research on Gloriosa Daisy, Mr. T, Filthy Rich and Camp Everfree. Something serious is going on here."

Laxtinct scoffed as he took his comic book to read, "Whatever!"

"Nacho Cheese Time!" Cute yet squeaky voice exclaimed. Saber Dragoon turned and found Ace, his artificial naked mole rat climbed on the table while carrying the bowl of nachos and cheese cream, "Yummy! Gotta love them!"

Saber Dragoon chuckled, "You sure got your ways to get me pump up. Thanks, Ace. Wanna help me out with detective? I could use some doctor."

Ace giggled and nodded, "Eeyup!"

Arriving to their Fire Opal Tent, both Shorty Thinking and Tailtech set it up with various science technologies, equipment, tools and computers especially a internet satellite on its rooftop. The tent has almost turned into a lab-like now.

Inside the tent, Shorty Thinking and Tailtech can begin their work on researching on Rainbow Energon and Dark Rainbow Energon now. They all went through some testings on artificial Energon in some machines and technologies such as gadgets, torchlight, TV remote control, scanning devices, MP3 drive machine, and many more. They also tested on their empty tanked hummer trucks, some of military guns and even Cybertronian types. The test went well.

"Okay, Tailtech, what do we know about the artificial Energon so far?" Shorty Thinking asked calmly.

Tailtech hummed as he looked through his paperclip, "The Rainbow Energon is stable now, and so as its counterpart - Dark Rainbow Energon. These things also have unlimited power energy source for almost everything - petroleum fuel, gas and electrical energy in all of machines. We've tested them. Its results are amazingly perfect!"

"Yes, it is. But we both know there's a side effects on it especially an incident from a small town at Australia. That forced us to do something unthinkable and regrettable for our lives."

"Yeah. They turned the Humans into some kind of maniac wild zombie mutants with strange powers. They all almost acted like..."

"Yes. Almost like Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle's Demon Forms."

"I don't want to think of how bad it will be if these artificial energy sources infected the human beings, mutants or Cybertronians."

Shorty Thinking nodded in agreement, "Now, you know why we have to find and prepare the cure, just in case."

"Yeah," Tailtech nodded in understanding, "But do you think Dark Terrorists are behind of this? As far as I know, they're still having civil war among themselves."

Shorty Thinking sighed, "I wish I knew, Tail. I wish I knew. All we can do is prepare for countermeasure against the upcoming infection."

"I guess so." Tailtech said in concern, "Come on, let's get back to our work."

Shorty Thinking and Tailtech continued researching and working on countermeasure against the upcoming infection. They prayed that they're more prepare for it.

Shadow Dragon, Flash Sentry and Lance Justicestrike were settling down at the Ruby Tent. While petting Dragoking happily and gently, Shadow Dragon took a peek and glared at Timber Spruce, who was checking on the campers. His pet has the same reaction as his master - he doesn't trust Timber Spruce. Lance Justicestrike was playing his electronic guitar. Flash Sentry smiled as he listened to it while snapped his fingers happily and proudly. As Lance Justicestike made his finishing touches, Flash Sentry smiled and clapped his hands.

"Nice one. Wow, you're really good at it," Flash Sentry said in amazement.

Lance Justicestrike smiled as he turned to Flash Sentry, "Thanks, Flash. I've practice a lot because music is in me." He sighed in disappointment, "Too bad that Crystal Prep Academy won't even let me have my own music band."

"Well, you're now at Canterlot High School. It's all you can do what you want in activities. Principal Celestia ruled, Principal Cinch stinks! You can be part of my band."

"That'd be great. Thanks, Flash."

"No problem," Flash Sentry smiled. He turned and found Shadow Dragon glaring at Timber Spruce. He sighed in concern as he approached Shadow Dragon, "Hey, you okay? You're not still jealous, are you?"

Shadow Dragon groaned as he turned and glared at Flash Sentry, "Excuse me?"

"Insult... My Master?!" Dragoking demanded angrily.

Flash Sentry yelped, "Sorry. Can't help but noticed your looks. And it tells me that you're pretty mad at Timber Spruce getting close to Twilight Sparkle."

"That's because I don't trust him. He's up to something. I can feel it." Shadow Dragon said angrily as he patted his pet gently, "And also, I feel strange and weird around this camp. Something is not right."

"You sure about it? No hard feeling to tell me about it."

"Flash! If this is another joke about me, I'm gonna-!"

"Oh boy! Not this again!" Lance Justicestrike exclaimed in concern, "Shadow Dragon, Flash didn't mean it! Really!"

Flash Sentry yelped, "Easy! I was just trying to help, senpai! You should know that Twilight will always like and love ya."

"Yeah! There is no way she would trade you for loving him. Believe in me. I know my sister well than anybody else."

"See? He even agree with me!"

After having some thoughts, Shadow Dragon sighed in defeat, "I supposed you're both right. But thanks for the help and support. I owe you one."

"No problem, S.D." Lance Justicestrike smiled as he gave a pat on Shadow Dragon's back, "That's what friends are for."

Flash Sentry nodded, "Yeah. You can count on us, Senpai!"

"Senpai?!" Shadow Dragon asked in surprise, "You do realize that's for Japanese to call 'seniors'? And I am Chinese!"

"Well, I could go for Shadow Dragon Gor, Dragon Ge or maybe Big Brother," Flash Sentry blushed in embarrassment, "But then again, it's kinda embarrassing and rude too. Plus, I'm rusty in Chinese Language. And oh boy, your dad was got angry with me about it."

Shadow Dragon sighed in defeat while nodded in understanding, "You make a good point. Fine, call me senpai if you want."

"Yes, senpai!" Flash Sentry saluted proudly.

Lance Justicestrike smiled, "This ought to be good. So, what's next?"

"Let's meet up with others now," Shadow Dragon said in amusement, "They should be out of it by now."

With his friends nodded in agreement, three of them exited their camp and meeting up with the rest of their friends now.

---

Autobots and G.I. Joe were setting their camps at the camping area, which was closed to both boys and girls camps. And at the same time, they were chatting with each other happily.

"Hey, what are you doing, Spirit?" Breakaway asked in surprise.

"Meditation, my friends," Spirit smiled as he was sitting down in meditation position, "You should try it. It helps and relaxes your mind and energy."

"Really? Is that even possible?" Breakaway asked in surprise.

Prowl smiled, "I'm not very sure of it. But I heard it was a great exercise for mind and body. I'm willing to try."

Breakaway shrugged as he and Prowl sat down in their meditation position. Both Autobots and even Spirit were meditating calmly and harmonically.

"I'm telling ya! Battle of Egypt is much more epic than your saving the President's live!" Smokescreen exclaimed in annoyance, "Optimus Prime fight with The Fallen! No bots ever lived from that! No one survived his wrath!"

Tunnel Rat scoffed in annoyance, "Aw, come on! I heard he was easy beaten by Prime! Plus, he got the Jet Power Boast with him! So, it's easy peasy to beat that boogie man up! Saving President and proving the G.I. Joe is not bad guy ain't easy!"

"Come on! That is so bogus! Your bad guys barely even put up a fight like attacking your evil bad guy's headquarter!"

"Hey, that wasn't easy, you know! Storm Shadow got some bad ass skills for us to handle! Snake Eyes is the only one beat him!"

"Lots of us got issue with bad guys especially dealing with Sentinel Prime! That guy's tough!"

"Whatever! What's tough is to clear our name!"

"Aw, come on! That wasn't even an epic!" Smokescreen complained.

Tunnel Rat groaned, "You don't even know the meaning of an epic!"

Arcee and Jinx were chatting with each other about their war experience and relationship with their friends and family.

"Wow. It must be hard for you to see your cousin turned against you," Arcee said in concern, "But in reality, it was someone else framed him for a crime he didn't commit it. I know it because it's how Optimus Prime and his gang felt."

Jinx sighed, "Yeah. Sorry for what those jerks did to your kind."

"Don't worry. We're fine now. We're just worry about what happen next. There's no telling of what government is thinking next about us. Knowing them, they want to keep their sharp eyes on us."

"I don't like it. After everything you have done for this world, they don't trust you but us and the kids. It's so unfair."

"Don't worry, we'll be fine. Someday, the Humans will let go of their fear and hate. Someday..."

"That's good to hear. We'll help you somehow..."

"Come on! Can't we go to beach? This camp is so boring with some stupid rules!" Shane complained, "I hate it, man!"

Cade Yeager groaned, "Man, don't you ever shut up for once?"

"Not if we go to the beach!"

"Will you forget about it! It's not gonna change my mind! I wanna Tessa get to know about this place that me and her mom used to camp here when we were teens."

"Yeah. That would be boring with rules and camping!"

"Why you little-!"

"Easy there, guys," Sam exclaimed in concern as he came in between Cade Yeager and Shane Dyson, "No need to start the argument especially in front of your girl. We're here to enjoy and get to know each other because we partnered with Autobots. Wouldn't that be great?"

"It would be great if he listens to me!" Cade and Shane snarled angrily, "Because I'm doing this for Tessa, not his stupid vacation idea!"

Sam groaned, "How about this? Work together for Tessa. First one who screwed Tessa badly is a real loser and stayed near to docks. How about that?"

Cade and Shane thought for the moment before they smirked in amusement while nodded in agreement. They both shaken their hands firmly. They have the deal, which makes Sam nervous and worry about his ideas he regretted to suggest.

"Boys," Tessa sighed in annoyance, "I'd never understand why they can't get along."

Mikaela smiled, "It takes time. And don't worry, they'll get over it. They just wants what best for you. You're important to them as I am to Sam."

"Yeah. But what I want is them get along and be family. Is that so hard to ask?"

"It takes time, Tessa. Don't worry, it'll be fine. They just need your help and reminder. You're their important person in their lives."

"I guess you're right about it. Thanks for the advice, Kaela."

"No problem. Happy to help."

Tessa headed off as she chatted and talked with her father and boyfriend. Sam approached his girlfriend as they chatted.

Sam sighed, "If Lennox or Epps were here, this would be piece of cake for them to deal with it. I sure wish they would take vacation."

"Sam, you know why they didn't," Mikaela reminded Sam, "They haven't seen their family ever since they got injured."

"I know. But they're good at it. After all, they're just soldiers. For me, I'm just a messenger."

"To me. You're a hero and best friend the Autobots could ever had. A husband I ever loved."

Sam smiled happily as he held and hugged Mikaela passionately. They both gave each other a long passionate kiss.

Drift sighed happily, "Can you feel the breeze, my friends? It is the scent of peace and harmony. We can finally relax."

Crosshairs groaned in annoyance, "You know what I wanna do some relaxation? Going far and far away from the Humans! No stinking way I'm gonna spent my week off with the chumps!"

"And those chumps saved yours and other's hides, punks!" Hound slammed his fist on Crosshairs' head, "You'd better start appreciate it before I blast you to pieces!"

"You can't. You're the medic, remember?"

"So? That doesn't mean I can shoot to your face! And I'm about to do right about now! If you get hit, I can fix ya. This is no big deal!"

"Wow, there, big guy! Not the face! You're no Ratchet, you know!"

"Oh yeah? Your ass?! And besides, I aced my medic test!"

"Enough!" Drift exclaimed as he came in between Crosshairs and Hound, "There is no reason to fight among ourselves when we're at peace. So, be quiet and enjoy our vacation. Understand?"

Hound and Crosshairs sighed, "Fine."

"Some never change?" Sideswipe asked in amusement. Bumblebee giggled and nodded happily. He turned to Optimus Prime, "Hey, Prime? So, what exactly are we gonna do?"

But the Leader of the Autobots did not respond as he looked through his holographic monitor screens while typing on the keyboards. This surprised and worried Bumblebee and Sideswipe.

"Prime?! PRIME!" Bumblebee radioed loudly.

"Oh! Sorry about it, my friends!" Optimus Prime yelped as he quickly shut his holographic computer down. He turned to Bumblebee and Sideswipe. He sighed, "I did not mean to concern you a lot. Forgive me, my friends."

"So, whatcha you doing?" Bumblebee radioed in girl's tone.

Sideswipe nodded, "Yeah. You've been on computer quite long time after the serious battles at Phoenix Fortress. Is there something you're working on?"

Optimus Prime shook his head, "It was nothing. Do not worry so much, my friends. I need some air."

Optimus Prime headed off, leaving both Bumblebee and Sideswipe in concern and suspicious.

"Something's up with him," Sideswipe said in concern, "Why is he so secretive and worry?"

Bumblebee sighed, "I wish I knew..."

Duke and his team were watching both their members chatted with the Autobots.

"Wow. Who knew having two groups camped together would get along so well," Duke said in surprise as he approached and patted Roadblock's back, "I miss out a lot of fun lately. When did this happen? And don't include Friendship Games, Chicago City or Battle of Phoenix Fortress, coz I don't remember much of it."

Roadblock smirked, "That happened before the Friendship Games, buddy. We've bonded together well, along with the teenage magical girls and mutant team. Pretty awesome, right?"

Snake Eyes nodded as he gave the thumbs up to his teammates. Ripcord smirked while chuckled a bit as he gave the black ninja some pats.

"When three group of us worked and stayed together as one, nothing can overcome us that easily," Scarlett said calmly and confidently, "Am I right? Teamwork is important to the unit and team."

"Yeah, it sure is, guys!" Duke chuckled in amusement. He grunted a bit, "Excuse me. I need some fresh air."

As Duke headed towards the dock, he found Optimus Prime standing near to it while looking at the sun. The Sergeant approached the Cybertronian Leader.

"Nice day for our camping trip, isn't it?" Duke asked.

"Indeed, it is," Optimus Prime approached Duke, "How are you, Sergeant Hauser? I hope you're feeling better after you traumatized event from being Dragoclaw."

Duke sighed as he stretched himself a bit, "A bit strain to my muscle, but I'm fine. Thanks for asking, Prime. It's kinda a great idea to have both team camp together at the same place."

Optimus Prime smiled, "I'm glad you approved of it. And I believe that if we were to work together to overcome obstacles, we must learn each other through communication, training and experience. With that on our sides, we will be fine."

"Sounds good enough for me, Prime," Duke smiled.

The girl students including Mane Seven, Cutie Mark Crusaders, Spike, Flare Tiger and Aquastroke were setting their camps up at the girl's camping site. They were all chatting with each other happily and excitedly about camping. Gloriosa Daisy was checking on them and their settlement.

Aquastroke was training Rainbow Dash in push-ups as the colored-hair girl did almost 40.

"That's it, Dash. Keep it up!" Aquastroke exclaimed firmly, "I'm surprise that Gloriosa Daisy actually allow sports in the camp. It wasn't supposed to be here."

Rainbow Dash scoffed, "Knowing her. She wants excitement? She gets on by yours truly - your friendly neighborhood Rainbow Dash!"

"I guess so. But are you sure you really wanna do this? They all sounds..." Aquastroke hissed, "dangerous."

Rainbow Dash stopped as she looked at Aquastroke, "Seriously? When did you get so sappy and worry about me?"

Aquastroke yelped in concern, "What do you mean?! I'm... I'm just looking after you."

"Yeah. Something's bugging you. What's up with it, Aqua? Wanna talk?"

"No. It's nothing serious. I'm just... I'm just worry."

Rainbow Dash sighed, "Look. I know you wanna look after me, but I'm not a kid anymore. Plus, I've got Pony-Up Morpher and Magic with me. I am superheroine! I can handle it especially kicking the bad guys' asses!"

"Technically, you're not, Dash," Aquastroke said in amusement before smiled, "But you're right. I worry too much. You're a big girl now. But just be careful."

"No problem. I can handle it."

"Okay. I hope I'm right about this one..."

Flare Tiger, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy were chatting with each other about the camping activities and even the camp consultants.

Pinkie Pie squealed happily, "I'm so super excited about baking cookies decoration! That is so my favorite game! I love it when I make and bake the best of the best!"

"That's good to hear," Fluttershy said calmly and happily, "I'm happy that I'm gonna go for nature walk. I finally get to see and meet the animals because someday, I'll become animal caretaker."

"Yeah, sure..." Flare Tiger said in concern. She hummed, "Don't you girls find suspicious about the camp consultants and Filthy Rich? Something fish is going around here."

"Fishy? Is something wrong with the fish?!" Pinkie Pie asked in concern.

Flare Tiger sighed, "No, Pinkie Pie. I was talking about consultants and Filthy Rich especially that blue skinned guy. He looks familiar. But I can't remember."

"But Gloriosa Daisy said that Filthy Rich was alumni and wants to see the camp," Fluttershy protested in concern, "I'm sure he missed it."

Pinkie Pie nodded, "Yeah! Same goes to Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna, and even Mr. Han and Captain too!"

"Maybe..." Flare Tiger said in concern, "I just can't help but get my Tiger Instinct sense that something bad is gonna happen. And their names are Gloriosa Daisy, Timber Spruce, Filthy Rich and Mr. T. They're up to something. I can feel the disturbance in the Force. I know it."

"Ooh! Are you gonna use the Jedi's Force?" Pinkie Pie asked happily.

"Really?" Flare Tiger asked in annoyance, "That was just reference and not my power."

Fluttershy sighed, "I don't think that's what Flare Tiger meant, Pinkie Pie."

At the Sunflower Tent, Cutie Mark Crusaders chatted happily about the camp especially their sisters' choice of activity.

"Wow, on the first day, we get tons of activities!" Scootaloo exclaimed happily, "Thanks to Rainbow Dash and others, I'm in for the rock climbing! It's gonna be awesome!"

Sweetie Belle shrugged, "Maybe, but I'm more into fashion. I'm surprise that Gloriosa Dasiy actually agreed with Rarity's choice."

"Yeah. That's some shocking," Apple Bloom said in surprise. She then smiled, "Either way, I'm happy that I'm gonna learn more about camp from big sister and how to use the nature as tools."

"Uh, Apple Bloom, you do realize that the camp has everything?" Scootaloo asked curiously.

Apple Bloom blushed while smiling, "True. But it's worth to learn if I ever get lost or have my own camp, someday."

"Good to hear. And maybe we should learn of it too. It would be fun." Sweetie Belle suggested happily.

Scootaloo smirked, "I supposed so. I just hope Nyx come and join us soon."

Apple Bloom smiled, "She will. She will, girls. don't worry."

Rarity and Applejack were chatting with each other as they were walking across the hallway of tents.

Rarity sighed, "I'm all for learning safety rules, but I do hope I can get started on my designs for the camp fashion show sooner rather than later."

"Huh. I still can't believe you talked Gloriosa into havin' a fashion show." Applejack said in surprise, "We're in the middle of the woods for cryin' out loud! We're s'posed to be roughin' it!"

"It's clear from Gloriosa's own wardrobe that she appreciates a well put together look. Even if we are in the..." Rarity smiled a bit, "middle of the woods."

"Fair enough. Just as long as you don't put me in one of your fancy pants outfits." Applejack said calmly before noticed her best friend's sly looks. She groaned, "Yer gonna, aren't ya?"

"No. Yes!" Rarity giggled, making Applejack annoyed. She cleared her throat, "Don't worry, darling. It'll absolutely speak to your personal sense of fashion..."

Twilight Sparkle, Sunset Shimmer and Nyx were settling down at the Sapphire Tent. They also unpacked their stuffs in it as well. Sunset Shimmer and Nyx were doing it, Twilight Sparkle was distracted by her past sins and mysterious black knight. Spike, Wheelie and Brains entered the tent as well.

"That was weird back there, right? With that guy, Filthy Rich?" Sunset Shimmer asked. Nyx nudged Twilight Sparkle from daydreaming. They both to her. She continued, "I just have this feeling that Gloriosa's hiding something. Her brother is pretty cute, though, huh?"

Twilight Sparkle yelped as she blushed, "He's okay."

Nyx scoffed as she showed her right clenched fist, "Yeah, right. But Shadow Dragon is perfect for her. Timber Spruce better watch it. You mess with his girl, you get the dragon's tooth."

"Oh, Nyx!" Twilight Sparkle exclaimed as she grabbed and gave noggie on Nyx's head, "You really need to stop try to pick a fight with big guys! You're just a little girl!"

"Hey, come on! Gimme a break, Twilight! I'm not little, I'm a tough girl!"

"Yeah, right! You can't even get off from my noggie!"

Sunset Shimmer giggled, "Hopefully you're not who's trying to hide something!"

Twilight Sparkle yelped in concern as she dropped Nyx down, "No, I'm not!"

Both Sunset Shimmer and Nyx noticed her behavior. Wheelie, Brains and even Spike have noticed it. Twilight Sparkle sat down on her bed.

"Sis, you okay?" Nyx asked in concern.

Sunset Shimmer nodded, "You seemed a little freaked out on the bus earlier."

Wheelie scoffed in annoyance, "I wouldn't be surprise if she can't even pick a good fight with Galvatron. Otherwise, she gets pulvarized!"

Brains chuckled in amusement, "That's a good one! After all, she's a chicken without her dark magic powers! Right, Midnight Sparkle?"

Spike growled, "Leave her alone, you big bullies!"

"Knock it off, you two! And it wasn't funny to insult people like her!" Sunset Shimmer exclaimed in annoyance as she gave a hard punches on two Minicons. She turned to Twilight Sparkle, "I'm sorry, Twilight. What did you two have to say? And don't make me kick you out to the pond!"

Wheelie and Brains groaned in annoyance, "Sorry..."

"It's okay, Sunset. I'm fine." Twilight Sparkle said calmly, "I mean, what do I have to complain about? Ever since I transferred here, everyone from CHS has been really nice and accepting, especially considering what happened at the Friendship Games and Phoenix Fortress."

"That we agree on!" Wheelie and Brains exclaimed in agreement.

Spike growled at two Minicons, "Back off now!"

"You wanna piece of me, mutt? I've taken tough dogs down before!" Wheelie exclaimed in amusement, "You're no different!"

Brains chuckled as he bring his shotgun, "This is for Bonecrusher! DIE!"

And just before the fight could happen, both Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle quickly grabbed their respected little ones up. And the girls placed their little friends on their own beds, so the latter won't cause the problems.

"It wasn't your fault!" Nyx insisted in concern, "It was Principal Cinch and Cobra Commander! They're the ones who make you to become a monster! And it was their fault for almost ruined Imperial Phoenix Army's reputation!"

Sunset Shimmer nodded in agreement, "Nyx's right, Twilight. Cinch may used you for winning. It was Dark Curse, Galvatron and Cobra Commander used you for Dark Magic, so they can start creating Dark Rainbow Energon."

"And don't forget, their Project End almost reached to the sky to end all of country. We could have been killed."

"Yes, Nyx. But that's over now. You redeemed it for helping us and stop their Project End. And best of all, we defeated Dark Curse and end the Alliance of Darkness. Without their leader, Dark Terrorists are history. Decepticons and Cobra have gone into hiding now."

Nyx smiled, "And besides, everyone forgive you, including bots and G.I. Joe especially the Minicons. Am I right?"

Sunset Shimmer glared at Minicorns, "Make a wrong move, and I'll show you how ugly I can really be."

Wheelie and Brains groaned in defeat, "Yeah, we did."

Spike blew his raspberry at two Minicons while the little robots glared at the puppy. The girls giggled in amusement.

"Anyway, we'd better go soon. First thing first, I need my sunscreen." Sunset Shimmer said calmly as she was searching on her bag. She stopped in confusion, "Huh. I coulda sworn I packed it."

Twilight Sparkle spotted the sunscreen creamer on the floor, close to Sunset Shimmer. She smiled and pointed at it.

"Found it!"

And just before Sunset Shimmer could get it, the sunscreen creamer suddenly levitated with lavender colored aura. It was the only one item, but more joined in - the bags, shirts, camp lanterns, clothes and even Spike, Wheelie and Brains. Everyone looked shock and concern of what they were just looking at.

"Holy Scrap..." Wheelie and Brains said in shock.

Spike gulped in concern, "You could say that again..."

Twilight Sparkle hissed in concern, "Oh no..."

Author Notes:
I originally wanted to put Lennox and Epps, but I chose not too. 1) They have families to meet and check on especially they disappeared since Transformers: Age of Extinction. And not to mention, they will be appearing on Transformers: The Last Knight. 2) They're soldiers and must obey to the government. 3) I have no confirmation if NEST Team did turn into TR Force (Transformers Reaction Force) or not.
