-Manehattan, Ratchet Brothers Auto Shop-
Onyx raced to the shop door, staring with wide eyes as the giant, spiky dinosaur bellowed angrily and dove into the ocean's waves. He then saw two ponies in the distance; a light blue one and a silver one.
Looking closely, he recognized the ponies as the two mares who were on the beach.
"Onyx!" Ratchet yelled, surprising the young stallion.
"Jeez! Don't do that! You almost gave me a heart attack!" Onyx angrily yelled at his older brother.
"Get your tail INSIDE!" Ratchet yelled at Onyx.
"Yeah. In a minute!" the pony hollered as he ran after the two mares. Onyx cautiously rushed toward the two as fast as his legs could carry him.
-Manehattan-
"AAAH!" Frost Bloom screamed as an electricity pole slammed into the street in front of the two mares, shooting sparks across the road. Scarlet screeched to a halt. The two mare's had nowhere to go. Frost turned her head and to see Scarlet, tears streaming down her cheek. Frost Bloom shook her head sadly as she realized that they were about to die at the claws of the beast that killed Scarlet's boyfriend.
"YAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGHH!!" a battle cry sounded off. Just then, a young stallion leapt through a wave of flame. It was the stallion who had hit his hoof on the drift wood.
"What in the name of Celestia are you doing?!" Frost Bloom screamed at the mustang, who reeled back in defense, raising his front hooves into the air.
"Sorry! No time to talk!" he said, hoisting Scarlet onto his back. "If you want to live, I suggest you follow me!" he yelled, leaping back through the flame without the slightest hint of fear.
-Crazy idiot!- Frost bloom thought before closing her eyes and jumping through the flame as well.
Onyx led the two mares back to Ratchet's shop, sprinting as fast as he could (despite the pony on his back). Ratchet was not overly ecstatic that his brother brought company.
"Why are they here?!" Ratchet asked, a slight tone of irritation on his voice.
"Well that makes two of us." Frost Bloom grumbled, noticing Ratchet's unamused look.
Onyx let Scarlet off of his back before answering Ratchet's question, "They were about to die! I couldn't just LEAVE them there!" he yelled.
"You deliberately disob-" Ratchet was interrupted by no other than Commander Hurricane, entering the auto shop. The commander stood at the entrance, brushing dust from his navy blue armor. Commander Hurricane then took off his helmet and paused looking first at Onyx, and then Ratchet, as if figuring out if they would make fine soldiers.
Finally, he spoke, "I am looking for the brothers, Ratchet and Onyx." he said, "Do you know where I can find them?"
Ratchet shrugged his shoulders before saying, "Yer looking at 'em." Then leaning toward Onyx he whispered, "We'll finish this little conversation later on." He turned back to Commander Hurricane. "What can I do for you?"
"I have been ordered by Princess Celestia, to have you two build a weapon that will deal with this little pest problem." he answered, gesturing toward the two brothers.
Ratchet couldn't help burst out laughing. "LITTLE pest problem?! That thing has feet the size of a carriage. Is that your definition of LITTLE?! Oh, I think your going a little nuts, my friend." Ratchet said, placing a hoof on Commander Hurricane's shoulder.
Commander Hurricane stared at the mechanic with a flat expression.
"My condolences about this, Commander. My brother has no respect for important people like yourself." Onyx chimed in, pushing Ratchet out of the way. Hurricane's expression remained the same.
"No need for apologies." he said at last. "But you two need to come to Canterlot. As for your friends-" he said at last, glancing at the two mares.
"We are NOT friends." Frost Bloom growled.
"They can come along, I guess." Hurricane said, ignoring Frost's remark.
"Why, exactly, do we need to come to Canterlot?" Onyx asked with wide eyes. He had never been outside of Manehattan, so this was a big opportunity for him to meet new people.
"Princess Celestia has considered many options in this monster problem. She had finally decided it best to put her trust into you, the Ratchet brothers, to build a weapon that will rid this city of the beast." the commander replied, pointing at the brothers
"Well..." Ratchet began.
"The heck with it! Yeah, I'll do it!" Onyx boomed, startling everypony.
"What? Onyx... but... no. FINE. I'll do it too." Ratchet grumbled, rolling his eyes.
"Good!" Commander Hurricane said, smiling.
-Pacific Ocean-
Godzilla's long tail swept back and forth as he followed his senses. Another monster had made landfall in a city near the Atlantic Ocean. Air bubbles flowed from his maw as he went to the surface of the ocean for a breath.
-Canterlot Castle-
Princess Celestia paced the room, her mind overflowing with questions about the monster who was responsible for the death of almost an entire crew of the Manehattan Cargo, along with it's ship. -What is it? Where did it come from? How do we stop it?-
She was still pondering these questions when Commander Hurricane entered the room, followed by what the princess assumed were Ratchet and Onyx. And two mares.
"Your Majesty," Hurricane started, bowing briefly. "I have brought to you, the Ratchet brothers." he continued, presenting the two mechanics. "And... their friends." he said.
"Your Majesty." the four said in unison, bowing down.
Princess Celestia lightly chuckled to herself as they rose at the same time. It was very comical the way they did it. "Ratchet and Onyx," she began. "I understand that Manehattan has been attacked by a monster. But I have decided to trust you two to build a weapon to defeat this beast in two weeks."
"Bad idea." Ratchet muttered. Onyx brought a hoof to the back of his head. "Ow!" the eldest yelled, glaring down at his younger brother. "What was that for?!" Onyx chose to ignore him.
"Is there a problem, boys?" Princess Celestia asked, gazing at the quarreling brothers.
"No! No problems here." Ratchet declared, abruptly standing still.
"Good. Anyway, I have been told by many that you two are very good mechanics." Celestia said.
"The best." Ratchet replied.
"So I am expecting big things from you two. Big things." she said. "Now that that's settled, Commander Hurricane will lead you to the castle's shop." she continued.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Commander Hurricane replied, bowing once again. "This way." With that, the stallions exited the room, Ratchet and Onyx still quietly arguing amongst themselves.
Frost Bloom rolled her eyes before glancing at Scarlet and then Princess Celestia. "Soooo, what do WE do?" she asked the monarch. Scarlet was looking around the huge room, glancing at the ceiling and vast walls.
"Well, I could probably find something for you girls to do." Celestia replied, rubbing her chin thoughtfully. "Hm... Would you girls like to meet the Elements of Harmony?" she asked, gazing at Frost Bloom and Scarlet Blitz.
Frost practically leapt out of her fur. "WOULD I EVER!" she shouted, her voice reverberating off of the castle walls. Scarlet stared, having almost been scared to death, as Frost Bloom jumped up and down and ran around in circles.
"Calm down!" Scarlet Blitz yelled as Frost Bloom soon became a blur of icy blue.
Celestia put a hoof to her face and slowly shook her head. "I have never seen anypony so excited." she said to herself, watching as the mare suddenly collapsed to the ground, exhausted and gasping for breath. "That was almost like Pinkie Pie after having eaten an entire cake." she muttered
"I'm done now." Frost Bloom gasped as Scarlet rolled her eyes.
"Good. Now then, let's go meet the Mane 6." Celestia said.
