Once the Renegade Thruster had made it far into space, the group began to finally calm down from all of the chaos. Now that they were far away, they could commence repairs and patch up their wounds. The girls walking around in their spandex tight space suits helped patch up some bruises on Sunset's knee, while Pathfinder helped fix Smallfoot's wounds.

Sunset moaned from the pain, "Oh my knee..."

"Its alright Sunset, just try to relax and let it out all," Fluttershy said, wrapping the bandages around Sunset's exposed knee.

Pathfinder applied repairs onto Smallfoot who was also moaning from the pain she had endured from their previous skirmish.

"This would be easier if we had Ratchet or Rest-Q, or heck, why didn't we bring Red Alert with us?" Pathfinder asked.

"I thought this was gonna be a simple mission, I didn't expect the Decepticons--"

"Renegades."

"Renegades to attack us," Sunset said.

"No one's perfect Sunset. I don't believe any of us were expecting them," Perceptor said, helping pass more medical tools.

"I didn't either. But there's something else, if this 'Cy-Kill' is in command, we need to know everything about him. Do you Guardians know anything about him that could help us?"

The Guardians nodded.

"We know quite a bit about him. We know his backstory with our original boss Leader-1, we know how he thinks, and we know his weapons and abilities. However, all of that was in the past," Flip Top said walking over to the group, his hands crossing. "If he's just now emerging, who knows what he's gonna do. Everything around him is completely new, so there's no chance of predicting his next move."

"Okay. If that's the case, than we should--"

Sunset was interrupted by the sound of the alarm going off on the main controls. Mr Moto hit his hands against the controls, and moved his face towards the radar screen to get a better look, eyes squinting.

"The radar's going off, we're about to crash!"

Sunset's eyes bulged out of her head, "HIT THE BRAKES!"

Mr Moto's foot slammed on the brakes, sending everyone who wasn't in a chair flying into the air and slamming either into the ship ceiling, or against the back wall, stacking one another on each other's body. Even the pilots who were sitting in the control chairs were immediately thrown out of their seats from the sheer force of the brakes that had pulled.

Once the engine finally stopped, everyone who was slammed and pressed against a surface fell off it, landing on their backs flat on the ground staring at the ceiling.

Sunset looked up at the ceiling, but she could still sense her teammates and friends next to her.

"Is everyone okay?"

"Me Snarl can't feel back."

"I'm quite alright darling," Rarity said.

"I'm good!" Smallfoot called.

Sunset's head slowly turned to the left, her eyes trying to work their sights ahead of her.

"Mr Moto? Where exactly are we?"

Mr Moto slowly groaned as he tried pulling himself back on his feet. The feeling of being tossed out of his chair didn't feel good. He clutched the chair as best as he could, pulling himself up to sit back down into it. His eyes squinted as he looked forward, and then turned his optics onto the radar screen that was still blinking.

"We are in the vicinity of... Lithone."

The group of Autobots, Guardians, and the girls all looked up to gaze at the planet they were in the area of. They didn't see much, but from what they could tell it was another alien world. It was mostly covered in metal, and big cities sprouting out from some of its sides, and there were a few glowing lights shining from the planet. Like the city wasn't falling asleep yet, and everyone was still running about.

"I thought it we made a circle back to Cybertron," Pinkie said.

"Nah, Cybertron's looking mostly dead. This planet's not dead."

Mr Moto shook his head while his hand was on his face. He couldn't believe their responses.

"Lets just get going again. I'm positive nothing of interest is out here," Mr Moto replied.

"Yep, I'm totally sure there's nothing bad gonna happen here!" Pinkie said. Looking to the reader she gave a Chesire cat grin, "In another universe I'm sure something bad would have happened here," Pinkie winked.

Mr Moto activated the ship again, and the ship began to take off once again. The energy was powering up, the pilots took their seats again, and the back thrusters started up again. A burst of flames fired from the back, and the ship began to take off once again, leaving the space around the alien planet.

The Renegade Thruster zoomed its engines, and it went off into space once again back on its course. They couldn't deviate from their path, they had to go back to Earth fast to warn their allies about their new enemy.

As two more days went by in space, the Guardians continued to pilot their spacecraft, they kept their eyes focused on the path ahead.

"Okay, we've only got like 5 more Earth hours left to go before we reach our destination," Bolt said as he focused on the radar screen, "And up ahead is the world called... Quintessa."

"Yikes, avoid that planet. I don't want to hassle with any of them. Remember the last time we dealt with them?" Man-O-War asked.

Bolt nodded, "Avoiding Quintessa and moving on to Earth."

Their heads turned back ahead to the stars in front of them, continuing to drive. But none of them even noticed the enemy ship that was currently coming right behind them on the radar...

In the sleeping room, all of the girls were asleep in their beds, all snoring safely and happily in their dreamlands. But Sunset was still tossing and turning.

"No... No..."

Sunset felt sudden heat radiated from right behind her. She turned around to look and gasped at the sight she saw. She looked around her, and all she saw was fire ablaze everywhere in her sights. Every building that was in her view, every location in her sight was set on fire and was burning down to the ground, crumbling in remains.

Nothing was looking safe around her, everything was looking like it was dying and it was no longer in its lively state. She turned back ahead and gasped at another sight. A giant spiritual form appeared right in front of her, in the form of her enemy.

"Megatron..."

Megatron chuckled, "You cannot stop me. You can never stop me, for I will always win. And I'm going to destroy you now... Goodbye Sunset Shimmer..."

Sunset backed away, hyperventilating.

"No... no please!"

Megatron's arm cannon fired up, and she continued to back away bracing for the fire. But her eyes opened when she heard another sound enter her dream. It sounded someone was calling for her.

"Sunset! SUNSET!"

Sunset violently awoke to see the sight of Rainbow Dash in her face, grabbing ahold of her shoulders.

"Wake up! Someone just boarded the ship!" Rainbow yelled with a panicked look on her face, sweat running down.

Sunset gasped, "Renegades?"

"I don't know, come on, we got to get our suits on!"

Sunset immediately rushed out of bed and ran over to her orange and yellow Headmaster unit piece that was still intact. Her hands dug into the arm holes, and she pulled the suit towards her chest which began to transform and cover every inch of her pajama covered body.

Before that had occurred, the Guardians were continuing to focus their eyes on the trail ahead of them. But a loud rumbling noise grabbed their attention from behind. Their heads turned to see a big explosion break from one of the shuttle walls, followed by the sounds of bashing and yelling.

Several robotic life forms broke through the wiring in the wall, all revealing to be their common enemy.

Bolt gasped as he moved out of his chair, "Cy-Kill..." Bolt got on his feet and began running towards them, horrified at the sight of all of the Renegades that were breaking into their ship.

"Renegades!"

Cy-Kill gritted his teeth, "Die Guardians!"

Cy-Kill's eyes glowed a nasty yellow glow as they charged with energy. A pair of laser beams emitted from the lens from his eyes and they shot upon Bolt's chest. Bolt slowly backed off, gasping heavily from the sudden fire onto his chest which began smoking. He slowly turned and he fell on his chest like a sack of potatoes. All that was left of him was the smoke steaming from his body.

Cy-Kill stood, waiting for when the Guardians were going to make their next move. All he saw were the pilots looking at one other with some concern, exchanging a few nods.

Man-O-War got up out of his pilot chair and charged his fists with energy, firing two beams towards the Renegades. The Renegades ducked from the shots in time, while the beams just hit the walls covering them in black dust. Coptor smirking, pulled out his rotating blades keeping them in a sword shape and readied it for action. But he wasn't preparing to make a swing, instead he pulled back and chucked it towards the Guardian like a spear.

Coptor tossed his sword towards the Guardian, making a perfect shot right in his chest. Dozens of electricity sparks sizzled and zapped outside of his body, and his eyes began fading away from its lively energy to lifeless and dead. The Guardian fell on his back, the sword still right in his chest.

The remaining pilots spun around in their chairs and slammed onto their feet, springing into action. They too fired energy beams from their clenched fists, their eyes locked onto their targets with fury and rage with the deaths of their allies. Mr Moto kept jolting his arms forwards and backwards, forwards and backwards trying to shoot the Renegades like a human machine gun.

The Renegades ducked from the fire, but they didn't stop fighting. The female Renegades Snoop and Crasher gave evil grins and pointed their fists at the Guardians laughing. Once their fists were ready for shooting, they continued to fire laser beams, blowing holes into the other two Guardians. They kept shooting, and the Guardians couldn't fight back, they were getting shot too much to the point they couldn't fight back.

Once the final shots were made, the two remaining Guardians had fallen. Mr Moto, Royal T, Man-O-War and Bolt were now dead. The only pilots of the craft were destroyed.

Cy-Kill and the Renegades let out a victory laugh and cheered.

"This was too easy," Cy-Kill said.

From the giant hole made in the wall, two non-Renegade life forms entered inside. One was Starscream, and another was Soundwave with his gun armed for battle.

Starscream grumbled, "Cy-Kill is it? Why do you demand us to come with you since you said that you wanted to deal with Sunset Shimmer yourself?"

Crasher growled, "No one talks back to Cy-Kill!"

Cy-Kill chuckled, "Relax Crasher. But to answer your inquiry Starscream, its because I believe the best way to really break her is to destroy all ties to her life... by destroying those she calls family. Described by you, as the Autobots."

Starscream rolled his eyes around.

"Cy-Kill!"

Cy-Kill turned his head behind and gave a shocked look on his face. The remaining crew members on the ship were in the clutches of some of his Renegade allies, all of them struggling to get freed. One of which had yellow skin, steam roller like arms and a small pipe sticking out of his back.

"We caught them trying to escape."

"Excellent Steamer."

Cy-Kill moved his feet and he gave an evil grin as he looked to the remaining crew members.

"You cannot win this time Guardians, Autobots. But what to do with you now?"

"Probability dictates Autobot chances of alerting others. They cannot be allowed to come with us all the way," Soundwave interrupted.

"But what can we do with them?" Crasher asked.

Soundwave pointed his finger to the radar screen that was on the control module. The planet of Quintessa was still in their sights. The Renegades gave evil grins and chuckles to one another, exchanging agreeing looks on their faces.

The girls had concerns on their faces, this wasn't too good. And they had no idea what they were agreeing on.

"Those smiles are not right!" Pinkie squealed.

"No... that's the same face I made on my anniversary night with Sour!" Smallfoot quaked.

The Renegades chuckled again.

"Lets drop them over the planet. The Quintessons can deal with them for us...", Cy-Kill laughed maniacally.

The Renegades forced the remaining crew members to the giant hole in the wall where they broken in, leading directly outside into space.

"No, no please! No!" Pathfinder cried.

"Goodbye, Autobots."

The remaining three Guardians were the first ones to be tossed out into space, their bodies flying through the weightless atmosphere. The next to toss out were the Dinobots who all let out shrieks and howls at the Renegades from being thrown off their vessel. Perceptor was thrown off the shuttle as well. Finally, the last to go were the girls, except for Sunset. Cy-Kill had one last thing to say.

The Renegade leader held Sunset tightly in his two hands, staring into her face as he held her over into space.

"You cannot stop us now, and neither will your friends. Goodbye..."

Sunset was let go of, and she screamed as she was thrown outside the ship with the rest of her friends who were all floating about in the emptiness of the cold vacuum that is space.

Cy-Kill brushed his hands together, and then turned to face the three Decepticons.

"Now, if you want to keep the rest of your Decepticon warriors alive and yourselves alive you will take us to their base location," Cy-Kill said.

"Actually Cy-Kill, the ship is heading directly for Autobot City," Starscream said gesturing to the radar screen that had a map displayed on it.

Cy-Kill chuckled, "Optimus Prime, the Autobots, and the rest of the Guardians won't stand a chance once we enter in their atmosphere. And once Autobot City is destroyed..."

Cy-Kill stomped forwards to the front of the cabin, "They will be vanquished forever. First we finish them, and then we can go check on the remains of Sunset Shimmer and her little, friends..."

"No...!"

The pained moan grabbed Cy-Kill's attention as he looked to see one Guardian wasn't completely killed yet, but he didn't give a sympathetic look.

"Snoop, you can deal with him as you like."

Snoop pulled a high powered laser rifle from her back which charged up with energy. She gave a horrifying grin on her face as she readied her weapon, ready to begin the slaughter of the Guardian.

"Goodbye, Guardian!"

From the outside of the cabin, a big bright orange blast of light could be seen, but no one could hear what had happened on the inside. But it only lasted for a few seconds, and then, the ship's thrusters fired off moving its way to Earth. The Renegades were now in control of their cruiser, and they had a new plan set in action to attack and destroy the rest of their enemy...

Part 1 Has Ended

Author's Notes:

First of all, I don't think I got Pinkie right. Don't really have her silliness down, and I think that fourth wall joke just wasn't funny.

Second, seriously pull up that list, you're going to need it. I've killed like what, 5 bots now? Put that on the death list.
