Author's Notes:

Sunset's log: I accidentally forgot to pack extra clothes, and now I'm stuck wearing this Headmaster suit in just my spandex tights. Note to self; never rhyme when coming up with a battle cry.

Now, back to Earth with an extremely short chapter.

Back with the rest of the girls and the Dinobots, they were still on the search for their friends who were held captive in the Quintessons prison. They had been traveling on the open stretches of pathways that were on Quintessa, but they were still nowhere near to finding their friends.

Swoop, the pterodactyl flew around up in the air, high above the cities trying to find any sights, any shiny metal that belonged to their friends, just something that would help them find them. But alas he was finding no sight of them. He swooped down back onto the pathway where the rest of the girls were, who were riding on the backs of the Dinobots.

Swoop flew down some more and converted into his alternate form. Since his dinosaur mode was one that could only move in the air, he had to walk in his alternate form.

Swoop pointed up into the air, "Me Swoop no see nothing!"

"Nothing? Grimlock, are you sure you know where they are?" Rainbow said, tilting her body to look at Grimlock's head.

"Me Grimlock positive Sunset and Twilight close," Grimlock said.

The Dinobots continued walking on the metallic pathway, but the Dinobots were continuing to bicker with one another. None of them really believed Grimlock knew where he was going.

"Me Slag say you full of beryllium baloney!" Slag snapped as they continued to walk.

Slag didn't even watch where he was going for at that moment, a sewer shaped hole opened up revealing some sharp spikes that were jotting out. He took one step and he fell on his side, taking Applejack with him.

"Whoa, ah!" Applejack cried.

Grimlock and the other Dinobots chuckled to see Slag fall off to the side.

"S-Slag! I can't... get... off!"

Slag quicky pulled himself back on his feet to let Applejack off, "Sorry, Applejack."

Applejack got back up on her feet, but she limped a bit. Her foot was feeling a bit numb from having a Dinobot almost crush it. Grimlock just chuckled at Slag's misfortune.

"Me Grimlock say you full of cesium salami!"

Slag snarled again, "Beryllium baloney!"

Applejack was the next to snarl when she heard their bickering. She turned around and watched as Grimlock snarled again, but the two of them stopped when Applejack yelled.

"Both of you knock it off right now!" Applejack barked, sending shivers down the two Dinobots spines. "We need to keep our heads focused on finding Sunset, Twilight, that Perceptor fellow, and the rest of the Guardians. We've already lost a shuttle to those infernal Decepticons, we don't need to lose our Dinobots too. Now come on!"

Both of the Dinobots gulped and they kept on walking. No need to argue if Applejack was gonna yell at them some more.

"Ugh, I can't take it anymore! Where can they be?" Rainbow groaned.

"We're trying to find them as best as we can Rainbow, but it doesn't help we don't have any tracking equipment on us," Applejack said as she led the group.

"Or a spaceship, I do wish that was around here," Rarity said.

"How about that one?" Pinkie asked pointing to the sky.

The group stopped and they looked up to the sky, and saw a sight that brought smiles on their faces. It was orange and red with color, and there was a gray turret on the back of it, just above the thrusters.

But what made the sight even more better was that the ship was landing on a part of the pathway right behind them. Luckily it was big enough for it to land, and there were no buildings for it to smash while it landed on the ground. The ship pulled out landing gear for it to sit on the pathway, and a gust of wind blew over the girls and the Dinobots.

As they listened to the ship power down, they watched as another sight came to their eyes. A small loading ramp dropped from underneath the ship, like if someone was climbing off the ship. A cloud of smoke came down as the landing ramp came down, making it hard for the girls to see.

But soon, they saw a figure come off the ramp. From what they could see, he looked like he was roughly around the size of Optimus Prime. He had red, white, and blue skin, rockets on the sides of his shoulders, and his head was molded in a similar fashion to Optimus too. Who was this guy?

The Dinobots gasped when they saw him, they knew who he was.

"It can't be...," Snarl said.

"Impossible..." Sludge gasped.

"Its not impossible soldiers. And I believe I can lend a hand in finding your friends that you speak of...", the Autobot said.

Inside the prison room, the group all stood in fighting positions near the door that led to the hallway of the other prison cells. They had a plan set in mind and they knew how they would make their escape.

"So, remind me again what is our plan?" Leader-1 asked.

"Easy, once the guards open the door, we're going to take them out and steal their weapons. Once we do, we either sneak or fight our way out of this prison and back outside to find the others. Once we do, we'll go to find ourselves a ship and fly back to Earth to stop the Renegades. Are we all clear on the plan?"

Everyone gave a few nods, but not everyone was sure if this plan would work. Knowing that every life form in the galaxy was unpredictable, it was possible that the Quintessons would know and hear every ounce of their plan. But this was a chance they had to take.

They listened closely and heard the sound of big stomping over to the cell door. The time was now.

The robots and the girls stood in fighting positions ready to make their move. Any second now and... But there was no unlocking of the door that was heard. Instead they heard the sound of what sounded like cutting. A few sparks were seen going on the frame of the door, and it was going all around each corner and edge of the door.

This wasn't something they thought was going to happen.

After a few more cuts, the door fell down on the ground with a bang. The group looked at Sunset with some questioning looks and some were concerned. She had come up with an elaborate plan to bust them out and now someone else beat them to the punch.

"Okay, I guess someone could rescue us too. That works as well." Sunset shrugged.

Coming in through the door were the Dinobots first who kept on shoving themselves through the small door.

"Excuse me!" Slag called as he passed on through. The rest of the Dinobots stomped into the cell, bringing smiles onto the group.

"I never thought I'd be happy to see you big guys again," Sunset said with a smile, "But, where are the rest of the girls?"

"Over here!" Pinkie called from the doorway, standing with the rest of the girls.

"Sunset!" The girls called.

Sunset and Twilight leaped up to the girls all joining in on a big group hug, relaxing in each others warm embrace. It was great to see all of them were still okay, thank goodness.

"I'm so glad to see you're okay," Fluttershy said.

"We're glad to see you girls are alright too," Sunset said. "But I thought I saw you guys crash in the swamp waters."

"Thank the Dinobots for that, they saved our lives," Applejack said gesturing to Grimlock and Slag standing near her.

Sunset looked up to the Dinobots and gave a warm smile of appreciation, "Thank you Grimlock. Dinobots."

Grimlock let out a small snarl before responding, "pony girls are family. Dinobots no leave family behind."

"But now its time that we leave Quintessa young ones," a new voice said.

Twilight and Sunset turned their heads to meet the Autobot that stood in the doorway, the same Autobot that arrived to help. The Autobot that resembled very close to Optimus Prime.

"Who are you?" Sunset asked, tilting her head.

"Him Ultra Magnus. Dinobots like Ultra Magnus. Ultra Magnus nicer than Sentinel Prime," Grimlock said pointing to the Autobot.

"I was Optimus Prime's second-in-command during the war. I received a transmission from the Elite Guard saying that a group of Renegade Gobots were after the ship belonging to one that was described as Optimus's second in command. A female named Phoenix Prime. But I am not seeing where this, 'Phoenix Prime' is."

Sunset chuckled nervously, "Oh uh... that's me. I'm Phoenix Prime, but you can just call me Sunset. Sunset Shimmer, at your service."

Ultra Magnus looked down to the fiery haired girl and titled a brow, "You're the one who destroyed Megatron?"

"I'd rather use the word, defeated, honestly," Sunset said sounding unsure. "I know, I don't really look like much but--"

"She's a hero. She led the Autobots on Earth when Optimus Prime was down, and she led us to victory over the Decepticons. She's made sure to look out for us when we got here, and she's been doing it fine. So before you decide to shoot her down and insult her--" Smallfoot began.

"Wait a nano-click soldier," Ultra Magnus interrupted. "Why would I do that?"

"Well... she's a human, from Earth. I know the Autobots don't really see kindly to organics from other worlds so--" Smallfoot continued.

"Let me hold you right there Smallfoot. If the reports said that she defeated Megatron, helped battle against the Decepticons, and was serving under Optimus Prime, then she's alright with me," Ultra Magnus said offering a friendly smile.

Sunset exchanged a smile in return, "Thank you, Ultra Magnus. That's a relief, for a second I thought you would be sort of along the lines of Sentinel Prime."

Ultra Magnus shook his head, "Sentinel Prime is reckless, and he disregards the safety of all of us on Cybertron. But from what I've heard about you, Sunset, the Guardians and the Dinobots have said you've performed all of the qualities of a good leader. Strategic thinking, determination, courage, and above all, loyalty. Something Sentinel Prime could stand to learn a thing or two about."

Sunset gulped, "Uh, about that... Sentinel Prime is uh... dead."

Ultra Magnus nodded, "So I've heard. But right now we have more important things to handle right now. One is coming to Earth to stop Cy-Kill and those Renegades."

Ultra Magnus looked up and he noticed the gray Gobot that was in the room with them.

"Who is he?"

"I'm Leader-1. Member of the Guardian High Council on Gobotron, but as of now, I'm a soldier. I will give you a hand with anything that you may require of me," Leader-1 said.

Ultra Magnus smiled, "Thank you Leader-1. Now come Autobots, we must leave Quintessa at once. I'll clear a path for you so we may depart."

Ultra Magnus gestured everyone to follow him and he exited out the door first, checking both ways for any signs of guards or Sharkticons for that matter. Once the coast was clear, he waved a hand for them to follow after. Sunset and Twilight ran first, followed by the rest of the girls, then the Guardians, and finally the Dinobots followed.

The group ran out of the prison and made their way outside of the prison onto the many pathways that led to the cities.

"My ship is just up ahead," Ultra Magnus said.

"Perfect, thank you Ultra Magnus," Sunset said. She took a few steps forward, and she readied herself for another battle cry.

"Autobots... lets hit the stars and soar past Mars!" Sunset said pumping her fist into the air, with a silly grin.

The Guardians all gave each other disapproving looks, and even the girls and the Dinobots weren't enthusiastic about her new battle cry. Ultra Magnus and Perceptor however were very confused.

"I don't understand..." Perceptor said scratching his chin.

"Sunset's looking for a rallying cry," Pinkie explained, "but most of the ones she had are... pretty bad."

"Just like that one," Rainbow groaned.

Sunset stood in place, her eyes rolling in the back of her head, "Never rhyme, never rhyme...", she muttered to herself.

The group just kept on walking towards the spaceship leaving Sunset behind as they walked. Sunset just groaned and walked with them to the ship and walk inside. Once inside, the loading ramp closed from underneath.

The group walked on the ship past several halls and they entered to the main bridge. From what they saw, there were several control stations, three in the front, and two in the back that were directly in the center leading to the entrance to the control room, and a few stasis pods on the sides leading to the door.

"Whoa...", Sunset said, "What is this ship?"

"This ship was once a functioning Autobot during the war for Cybertron, but alas, his systems no longer work for him to be alive again. Now, he's become just a transport and battleship," Ultra Magnus said sitting in the main controls. "Guardians, Autobots, man your stations. And set a course for Earth."

The Guardians rushed to station positions, and the Dinobots rushed to sit in command chairs as well. the engines activated, and the ship slowly began to descend up into the air. The landing gear folded itself back up into the ship, and a few turbines underneath shot a burst of energy, forcing the ship to go up into the air.

Sunset and the group gave smirks as they stared ahead, gazing towards the stars above in space.

"Initiating hyper-drive, prepare for takeoff," Ultra Magnus ordered.

Sunset gave another smirk as she stared ahead, "We're coming for you now Cy-Kill."

The back engines began to erupt a burst of flame, and soon enough, the ship zoomed off into the sky faster than Blurr's own speed. The ship took off in a matter of seconds, and it zoomed off into space, flying halfway across the galaxy. Ultra Magnus got what he came for, and now it was time to go to Earth to help Optimus Prime and stop the Renegades.
