Transformers Equestria Girls In Disguise 3: The Past Awakens
Chapter 24: Part 3: Our Newfound Abilities
Previous Chapter Next ChapterAuthor's Notes:
Sorry for this taking too long. Don't worry, we'll get back to our main story. But until then, enjoy a little bit of some comedy. I was gonna have a G.I.JOE parody put in, but I'll save it for another chapter. And if I can actually work out a set of lyrics. Can't wait to hear what you guys think.
Also, Zoomer is one of the OC's a follower entered in for the fic as my way of saying thanks.
The next morning, Sunset immediately took a Groundbridge over to the Autobots base. She couldn't sleep with what she had seen in her dream. This was something all of the Autobots needed to hear. They needed to know this now, and what would be a better time?
Once Sunset crossed on through the portal, she walked around the base passing on by some other Autobots.
"Ratchet. Where's Optimus? I need to talk to him," Sunset said.
"He's over in his room," Ratchet said pointing down the hall.
Sunset nodded, giving a smile to the medical officer. She walked away and stood in front of the door leading to Optimus's room. But once it opened up, Sunset gasped when she saw the state her friend was in. Optimus had a knee out on the ground, and he looked like he was trying to recover from having a massive headache, evident by him holding his head and moaning slightly.
"Optimus! Are you okay?" Sunset asked.
Optimus blinked and looked to Sunset.
"I am fine, Sunset."
"What happened?" Sunset asked.
Optimus grunted, "I felt a disturbance. I felt the presence... of Megatron."
Sunset gasped, "You too?"
Optimus gave a look of confusion, "What do you mean?"
"Last night, I had another nightmare. But... this isn't like my other ones. I think Megatron may be back from the dead. Someone, or something, revived Megatron. Something the size of a planet!"
"Wait... I've seen that in my vision," Optimus asked.
Sunset's eyes widened, "Wait... so... does this mean... we had the same dream?"
Optimus paused. Did they both see the same thing? Did they both receive the same vision, warning them about an incoming doom that could come their way?
"It would seem so", Optimus said.
Sunset scratched her chin and she snapped her fingers, "the Equestrian magic. The magic must have created a neural link to both of our heads, allowing us to see the same vision. But if what we saw was true... then there's a chance we could facing something far greater than any of us imagined."
"You are correct Sunset. If Megatron is still out there, we must be prepared for any attack the Decepticons may attempt."
Before Sunset said another word, the two leaders stopped to hear a scream come from down one of the hallways.
"What was that?" Sunset asked.
"Perceptor," Optimus said before running out.
Sunset and Optimus ran out of the room quickly, and entered in Wheeljack and Perceptor's laboratory along with a few other Autobots who heard the commotion. Looking around, they saw Perceptor down on the ground, pulling himself up looking terrified at something he just seen. And far off on one of the tables was some broken glass from beakers and cylinders.
"Perceptor, are you alright?" Optimus asked.
Perceptor nodded, "I'm quite alright Optimus. But something gave me a fright."
"What happened in here?"
"I went to go grab a beaker to perform more experiments, but when I stretched my hand out to grab it, it floated in the air!"
Sunset's eyes widened, "Wait... it floated?"
"Yes. I can't do that! I don't even have any devices to do that!" Perceptor said.
Sunset and Optimus looked to each other, and then back to Perceptor.
"Perceptor, is there any chance you can... do it again? So we can see?"
Perceptor gave a nervous nod, and got back onto his feet. He turned his eyes towards another beaker and gulped.
"Okay, so, you just raised your hand out and it floated up?" Sunset asked.
"Not entirely Sunset. Part me had a thought of wanting to grab it, and then that's when it began to float," Perceptor said extending his hand out towards the part.
Just at that exact moment, the beaker began to glow in a magenta aura, and it floated up into the air, obeying Perceptor's will to float on up into the air. Optimus and Sunset stared at the floating beaker, both amazed at what they were seeing.
"Hm... it would seem Twilight's magic has allowed you the ability of levitation," Optimus replied.
Perceptor gulped, "I suppose you could say that..." Perceptor slowly moved his hand down, trying to set the beaker back down on the table carefully, trying his best not to break it.
Sunset thought, "So you levitated objects, and Optimus and I had shared the same vision in our heads, then... wait. Where are the others? Ironhide, Knockout, Sideswipe, Bumblebee, Jazz, where are they?"
"They've gone out with your human friends Sunset, and Twilight's home working on her schoolwork, but I don't know what the others are up to," Perceptor replied.
Sunset's eyes widened, "Ratchet, get them here. Get them here, now."
Back in Canterlot, the rest of the girls along with their guardians were busy with minding their own business. All of them were focused on having fun on their own while they had some time to kill.
Rarity and Knockout were busy working in Rarity's boutique, trying to get more fashion designs done for an upcoming show. Sweetie Belle ended up being used as the model which wasn't really pleasing her in the slightest.
"Ugh, Rarity, how long do I need to stand here?" Sweetie Belle asked.
"I'm almost done Sweetie Belle, just a few more stitches here and I'll be done. Knockout can you hand me the red fabrics?"
Knockout looked around everywhere for where the fabrics where, but they weren't in sight, "Where did you last put them?"
"Oh, I've got it!"
Applebloom walked over to one of the desks and grabbed the roll of red fabric and threw it in the air towards Knockout like tossing a football. Knockout turned to look and his eyes widened and his arms went up, bracing himself for when he would be hit.
"Oh scrap!"
Knockout's eyes shut tight as he braced for the toss, but he didn't feel anything hit him. It didn't even make a small little touch on him, he felt nothing at all.
"Um... Knockout?" Applebloom asked.
Knockout's eyes opened a bit, and they came bulging out of his head when he looked at what was in front of him. His vision became much more blue than it had before. But when he looked down, his arm looked just as normal as it had before. But there was a blue glowing circle on the outside of his arm. When he moved his arm away, he gasped at what he was seeing.
From the outside of his arms, two blue circular force shields formed from the sides of his car doors. Both of them were shaped like a wheel, with a symbol glowing from the shield. Three small blue diamonds, all with tiny Autobot insignias in the middle of each of the diamonds.
"The same shields you grew yesterday...", Rarity gasped.
After a few seconds passed by, the shields began to disappear, disarming away.
"I don't recall ever having any possession of shield weaponry on me...", Knockout said.
"But, how did you get the shields?"
"I don't know my dear... I just don't know."
Bumblebee and Fluttershy were busy somewhere else, trying to help give repairs to their new friend Wasp. With how many were wounded in the battle of Autobot City, Ratchet and Red Alert was busy left and right trying to repair their warriors. But Wasp wasn't one of those who got the medical attention. Thankfully Fluttershy took some time and Ratchet gave Fluttershy medical tips in ever the case of an emergency.
Wasp groaned in pain as Fluttershy and Bumblebee tried to move him.
"Agh... Wasp no like this," Wasp said.
"Wasp, its okay. This will only take a few seconds, and your arm will be patched up to normal cone again," Fluttershy said patting Wasp's palm.
"Besides, I just need to reconnect a few cords and you'll be fixed," Bumblebee said with a smile.
Bumblebee looked at the open wounds on Wasp's arm, seeing the few wires that were sticking out.
"Hm... lets see, what do I have to work with here? A few cords, easily fixable with just a few connections just fused back together. But with what?
Bumblebee tapped his chin for a second with his left hand, and he stared down at the cords that needed to be fused. Maybe just a simple electric zap to fuse them together? Soldering gun maybe?
He snapped his fingers and his arm began to change its shape into a soldering tool for him to fuse the wires back together. Just what he needed but. But when Fluttershy looked towards his arm, her eyes widened and her jaw lowered.
"Um... Bumblebee?"
Bumblebee stopped his repairs.
"What? Am I doing something wrong?"
"Look at your arm," Fluttershy said.
Bumblebee gave a confused look to the pink haired girl. He looked down at his own arm and he gasped in shock and backed away from Wasp. His arm right up to near the elbow, had transformed into a stinger. And it looked just like Wasp's stinger weapon.
"My hand... its shaped like Wasp's stingers. How... HOW DO I HAVE STINGERS!?"
Bumblebee was so startled he fell on his back and he accidentally fired a blast to the light bulb in the ceiling, shattering the bulb to shards and pieces. The pieces came falling down and they hit the ground, shattering into more pieces, making Fluttershy freeze in place trying to not step on any of them with her delicate feet.
Bumblebee gulped. "S-Sorry... Is anyone hurt?"
"No," Fluttershy and Wasp said in unison.
Bumblebee sighed, "That's good."
At that moment, Fluttershy heard her phone ring and she pulled it out of her pocket to answer it.
"Hello?" Fluttershy answered.
"Fluttershy. Its Sunset. Are you with Bumblebee?"
"Yes, why? What's wrong?"
"I need you and Bumblebee to meet me over at the Autobot base. Ratchet will have a Groundbridge open for you to cross through. We need to talk."
Bumblebee and Fluttershy gave each other concerned looks. What was so important they had to come over through a Groundbridge?
"Okay. So... something weird is starting to happen to you guys, and I think I know what." Sunset began.
Gathered with her were Applejack, Twilight, Rarity, Ironhide, Perceptor, Knockout, and Optimus Prime all stood together, along with the five Shadowbolt girls who were called over as well. Each of them had some concerned looks on their faces.
"So... has anyone been through any strange developments recently? Any weird powers that have been emerging?"
The girls gave a few nods.
"This morning when Bumblebee and I were working on fixing Wasp, Bumblebee's hands transformed into stingers. They not only helped fix Wasp but they shot out one of our light bulbs," Fluttershy replied.
Bumblebee followed up Fluttershy's response by extending his arms out, and they both began to change shape and reveal the stinger weapons that were hidden in his arms. Both of them began to glow with a shade of blue as they filled with energy.
The others looked at his weapons and all gave gasps and oohs.
"Now you're really a Bumblebee," Lemon chuckled.
Bumblebee glared at Lemon with an unamused expression. He wasn't finding Lemon's joke to be funny at all.
"Bumblebee isn't the only one who's been through a strange development. While I was working in the boutique with Knockout, he grew shields on his arms. Shields!"
Knockout nodded and he extended his arms out, and the shields formed once again, eliciting more oohs and stares.
Optimus paused, "It would seem your Equestrian magic isn't just giving us the ability to see what you girls see, its giving us new strengths and abilities that are only now emerging."
"Oh my... should we take the magic out of you guys? I mean, just from the Friendship Games, our magic was really toxic to you guys."
"Not this time. Wheeljack made some experiments with it and he made sure that it won't be toxic to Cybertronians this time. But lets focus on what we know so far. Optimus and I share a neural link that allowed us to have a shared vision, Twilight's magic gave Perceptor levitation, Knockout has shields, what else do you all have?"
"I think Ironhide might have super strength. He pounded a giant hole in the ground the minute I tossed him into the air like a catapult," Applejack said.
"Are you sure Applejack?" Sunset asked.
"Positive. But, I'm not sure how we can show that," Applejack said.
"I think I may have an idea in mind," Ironhide said. He looked at Knockout and Perceptor. "Any chance you two can climb onto my shoulders? Don't worry, I can hold you both up."
Knockout blinked, "Are you sure that would be wise of you?"
"I must agree with Knockout. Just based on our sizes and weights alone, along with your mass in strength, there is no saying you will be able to hold both of our strengths combined together," Perceptor replied.
"Come on Perceptor, I'll be fine. Just climb my shoulders," Ironhide said as he took a knee down.
Knockout gulped and slowly moved towards Ironhide, climbing onto his shoulder and moved his feet onto Ironhide's shoulder as best as he could. Perceptor was more hesitant, but he managed to work himself onto Ironhide's other shoulder. Soon the two Autobots found themselves grabbing each other's arms trying to keep each other from falling off, and Ironhide clinged their legs so they wouldn't fall. Now it looked like the bots were being cheerleaders, ready to make a giant pyramid as Knockout and Perceptor hung to the sides with their hands clenched together trying to hold each other from falling, all the while Ironhide was holding them up in the air.
"What do you think?" Ironhide smirked.
Applejack gave a short laugh, "Add more bots and you might become an Autobot pyramid."
Ironhide smirked to Applejack, "Don't give me any ideas. I just might ask everyone to try and do that. Actually... any chance I can borrow some Autobots?"
15 Minutes Later
Sunset Shimmer, Optimus Prime, Ultra Magnus, Leader-1, and several other Autobots and Guardians stood shocked, surprised and impressed with the display in front of them. Ironhide's strength had been elevated very high. Higher than any of the Autobots (or the girls for that matter) had ever seen. A bunch of Autobots held each other's arms together as they stood in a formation of a pyramid but from the way it looked, it was an upside down pyramid. Ironhide stood down at the bottom, while several other warriors moved number by number going higher and higher up in the air.
At the bottom was Ironhide, on his shoulders was Perceptor and Knockout, and above them were several more Autobots who added on to the pyramid.
"W-Was this really a good idea?" Twilight said with her voice shaking, staring high up at all of the bots in the air.
"Ironhide? I think you've proved your strength! Can you just let the bots down now? I'm not sure how much you can take," Applejack said.
"I agree, this is too much even for you," An Autobot yelled from high above.
"And my servos are about to give out!" Knockout screamed as he tried his hardest to hold onto the Autobots above him.
"Alright, alright. I just wanted to see how many of you I could lift," Ironhide called above.
"I'll admit though, this is very impressive Ironhide!" Pipes called from the sky.
"What?" Ironhide called back.
"I said, this is very impressive Ironhide!"
"I'm sorry I can't hear you from all the way up there!" Ironhide called back.
Sunset chuckled, "Too bad Pinkie and Rainbow Dash couldn't see this. Actually... wait. Where are they?"
"And Sideswipe and Jazz for that matter?" Ironhide asked as he stood still like a statue as he held the warriors above him.
Before any of them could interrupt, Ratchet came walking to the ground outside.
"Optimus, Rainbow Dash is here. She requested a Groundbridge to come here," Ratchet said looking to the rainbow haired girl that stood next to him.
Sunset and the others turned, "Rainbow? When did you get here?"
Rainbow looked at the girls, "10 seconds ago. Sideswipe told me to be here because you are not gonna believe..." Rainbow looked up at the giant Autobot pyramid in front of her. So many warriors stacked together and held together like a puzzle.
"Um... what's going on here?" Rainbow said.
"Ironhide is showing off his pyramid skills," Applejack chuckled. "Now, where's Sideswipe?"
Rainbow looked at her watch, "Okay, he should be here in 3... 2... 1..."
The girls turned their heads forward and saw a giant cloud of dust moving right towards them at a very high speed, but no one could make out the shape that was speeding right towards them. Whoever it was, it was moving faster than any of them, including Blurr.
Soon a bright red zoom went straight on past Ironhide, making him lose his attention. But as he tried to see who it was, he began to lose his control of balance with the giant pyramid above him.
"Oh, oh dear..." Ironhide said as he began to lose his balance.
"Incoming!" Twilight yelled, urging everyone to quickly run.
Everyone got away from the area as best they could and watched as all of the Autobots that were stacked come tumbling down onto the ground, creating a big cloud of dust.
Sunset and the girls all took cover from the crash as they were all on the ground covering their heads and their ears from the loud sound it made.
Once the smoke cleared, the girls got back up and looked at the giant pile of Autobots that were all on the ground, trying to recover from their fall.
"Ugh... Me Grimlock think maybe next time Dinobots say no," Grimlock said rubbing his head.
"Oh, now I've got an aching pain in my chassis," Sandstorm said.
"I feel like my joints haven't been moved in weeks," Bluestreak said rubbing his wrist.
Ironhide pulled himself up, and dusted the sand off his body, and stretched his arms as he got back up on his feet. Knockout, Perceptor, and Bumblebee followed as well as they all stretched, trying to get their bones up and moving again.
"That was... quite painful," Perceptor said.
"But very impressive in the strengths. Your strength maybe even higher than that of Megatron," Knockout said with amazement.
"I wouldn't have fallen if I was distracted," Ironhide said.
"But who on earth was that?" Rarity asked.
The girls turned their heads and saw the sight of a red Autobot's body smack against the wall, sprawled into it, making a dent into the metallic wall.
"Sideswipe? You okay buddy?" Rainbow asked.
"I... Did I hit any police cars?" Sideswipe asked sounding woozy.
Sideswipe pulled himself off the wall, and attempted to get back up on his feet, but his legs began sliding out as if he was performing the splits. The only things helping him catch himself were his arms that sprung out in front, holding onto the ground.
"Sideswipe, what happened to you?" Bumblebee asked.
Sideswipe tilted his head up to look at the group of Autobots in front of him, including his human partner.
"That..." Sideswipe said, pointing to the bottoms of his feet, "is what happened to me. One day I have feet, the next minute I convert into vehicle mode I find out I now have skates and I can move faster than I ever could before."
Sideswipe moved himself slowly and carefully up to try and get back on his feet, and he watched as the wheels began to slide back up into the sides of his heels, allowing him to walk once again.
"So... you now have super speed?" Sunset asked.
Sideswipe nodded, "Yes. Now I can finally catch up with Blurr. But what was with the giant cheerleader pyramid I saw on my way here?"
"Ironhide now has super strength," Applejack said.
Sideswipe raised a brow, "I see..."
"Sideswipe. Rainbow. Did you run into Jazz or Pinkie Pie this morning?"
Sideswipe and Rainbow Dash shook their heads.
"Okay. I'm gonna call Pinkie on her cell, maybe she'll answer," Sunset said pulling out her phone.
Sunset hit the numbers with her finger and she held the phone up to her ear. Eventually she received an answer... a very loud answer. She held her phone back and groaned in pain from the loud noise coming from the other end. A loud song was blasting out from the other end, making her rub her own ear in pain.
"Ow... oh, I think I'm gonna need to go see a doctor," Sunset said.
"Did you turn the speakerphone off?" Rainbow asked.
Sunset looked at Rainbow with a frightened face, "Its not on speakerphone."
The other girls gave looks that screamed disturbance. Looking back at the phone, they could hear very loud rock and roll music blasting out from it. But no sounds of Pinkie Pie or Jazz's voice coming from the other end.
Sunset sighed and hung up, "I don't know if they're at a concert, or at the Bass N Drop club, but either way, I can't hear any of them."
Just then the alarm from inside the base began to go off, signalling a red alert. And from running from the base was Ultra Magnus.
"We've detected a Decepticon group, all converging on an abandoned steel mill in Canterlot," Ultra Magnus said.
"That's our cue," Optimus said, "Ratchet, start the Groundbridge! Sunset, sound off the troops!"
"Got it! Girls, get your suits, we've got Decepticons to fight. As for the others, transform!"
With each Autobot that Sunset called out, they all began to transform into their vehicle modes.
"Ultra Magnus! Leader-1! Ironhide! Mirage! Hound! Knockout! Perceptor! Bumblebee! Cliffjumper! Smallfoot! Sparky! Dumper! Hans Cuff! Hoist! Grapple! Strongarm! Tracks! Wasp! Sideswipe! Trailbreaker! Arcee! Road Rage! Zoomer! Autobots... lets revert and revolt!"
The Autobot cars just sat there in silence, all the while a cricket chirped in the background.
Sunset's eyes moved as she looked side to side in awkward silence.
"Nothing? Anyone?"
"Sunset, is it really necessary for you to find a battle cry?" Hoist asked while his engine hummed. "You've tried for over a year now you still haven't gotten anywhere."
"I agree, this isn't really worth trying to wrack your brain over," Grapple replied.
"Can't you just stick with 'Transform And Roll Out'?" Arcee spoke up while she sat there, waiting to leave.
Sunset scrunched her face, "Okay lets just roll out."
Back in Canterlot City, there was another raid by Airachnid's pack. Ever since she split up from Starscream's group when they arrived on Earth once again, she began assembling her own group of Decepticons to claim Earth as their own planet. And currently with her a few Decepticon fugitives that abandoned the battle with her.
"Hurry you fools, the Autobots will be after us soon," Airachnid barked to her minions.
"Do this, do that, you can't make up your stinkin mind!"
Airachnid just groaned in annoyance. But before she could say anything else, turning her head she saw a group of Autobots including the girls all run out. The girls had slipped on their new Ponybot suits and they were ready to start kicking butt.
"Decepticons, get them!" Airachnid called.
Sunset's vehicular suit began to change its shape into its pony variant. Legs folded out, a pony head with a horn emerged, wings folded out, and the wheels began to slide into its elbows and thighs.
"Ponybots, Autobots, transform!" Sunset called out.
Everyone who was assembled transformed into their alternate modes, all preparing themselves for battle. The rest of the girls transformed their suits into the pony forms, and they all stood in fighting stances ready to either make a charge or assault on the enemy.
"Why do you keep trying Sunset? You can't defeat us," Airachnid said.
Sunset's hooves stomped into the ground as she stared down at the Decepticon.
"I've taken down Megatron, I'm not gonna let someone like you continue to stand. Everyone, attack!" Sunset ordered.
With one loud battle roar, everyone began a charge into the battle.
Ironhide rode on the back of Applejack's pony mode as she made a charge into the battle. Ironhide readied his fists, and extended his arm out so he could knock down any Decepticons that Applejack would pass on by.
"Time for a punch from my cold iron fist!" Ironhide cheered.
Applejack sped past a Decepticon minion, and Ironhide's fist slammed right against the face of the warrior, tearing bits and pieces of metal off from his face as he was met with the punch.
"Yee-haw! Yippie ki yay!" Applejack cheered.
"Yee-haw! Yippie ki yay!" Ironhide called out.
Over on another part of the battle, the Guardian Leader-1 fought on his own two legs. He fired several beams from his fists towards the enemy, and avoiding every blast that would try to shoot back at him, and he raised a shield once in a while to deflect a blast back.
"You're doing good Leader-1!" Sunset said as she fought another Decepticon while passing on by the former Guardian leader. "Just remember, these Cons all have different weaknesses, use them to your advantage!"
Leader-1 acknowledged Sunset's response with a nod and turned his attention back towards the enemy. Coming right at him was a Decepticon with the body of a frog.
"Do you think you all can follow us to the treasure? And then what--" the frog let out a croaking noise, "wrest it away? Never! You are all unworthy of claiming the fountain of Energon!"
The frog's tongue shot at Leader-1 who deflected the attack by raising a shield up which stung the frog's tongue.
"AGH!!!" the frog yelled before falling to his side, rendered unconscious.
"Um...", Leader-1 said.
Leader-1 heard the sound of Rainbow Dash talking to him while she was clinging onto the top of another Decepticon while continuing to smash her fist onto the Decepticon's face.
"Don't worry about Springload!" Rainbow said, struggling against the Decepticon, "He's just crazy!"
Twilight stomped her hooves into the ground as she readied herself to stand against a Decepticon with the body of a dinosaur, colored in red and and tan, with a hammer at the end of its tail.
"I can smash you easily with no problem," the dinosaur said with a smug look.
"Sorry Scowl, but your smashing days are going to be over!" Twilight said stomping her hooves.
Scowl just snarled and charged at Twilight, ready to start swinging at Twilight. He made one swing with his tail and Twilight's pony head ducked down just in time. Seeing a chance to strike back, she fired a beam of energy from her horn onto the Decepticon, kicking him off to his side.
Twilight gave a bright smile to her own victory. Another successful attack against another Decepticon. But wait. Was Perceptor doing okay? Maybe he could use a hand.
Twilight turned herself around on her four hooves and ran towards Perceptor who was battling another Decepticon. This Decepticon Perceptor was trying to fight off was more hunch-backed, and he had tons of quills on his back.
"The heroes of the revolution never go down quietly!"
"Well that's where I'm afraid you're wrong," Perceptor retorted.
The Decepticon porcupine turned around and his quills began to glow bright blue, ready to shoot Perceptor. But in a nick of time, Twilight came trotting fast to Perceptor to save him. Perceptor saw Twilight running his way and made his move. He clinged onto Twilight's extended wing, swinging his body around to get onto her back, riding on her back just before the quills all fired out in many directions.
"Thanks for the save Twilight!" Perceptor called out while trying his best to hold onto the suit in the pony form.
The porcupine looked as they ran away and his eyes widened.
"You may be fast, but my will is stronger!" he yelled raising a fist.
Before he could make a move, a strong punch ran across his face. When he turned to see who it was there... wasn't anyone. No Autobot, Ponybot, or Guardian focused on fighting him. The punch came from out of nowhere. Almost as if someone was... invisible.
The porcupine was punched in the face a few more times until he was knocked silly on his side. The invisible figure emerged, revealing to be the Autobot Mirage.
"Best things happen when you are invisible!" Mirage called.
During the battle, Sunset Shimmer converted her pony form into its alternate mode, standing like a normal human being and began to duel it out with Airachnid. She attempted to make stabs into Sunset's suits with her spider legs that stuck out her back, but she failed to make any jab into her suit. Sunset was too prepared for the situation. Having strong armor and having been battling for over a year has taught her how to fight.
"You've gained quite the look in your new armor Sunset," Airachnid said, "Too bad you're going to lose it when I finish you."
"I haven't been beaten by you once Airachnid," Sunset retorted as she raised a fist to block an incoming stab.
Airachnid looked around and she chuckled when she saw the new faces.
"And I see you have some new faces around here, very impressive. I could always use more partners to trash."
"I wouldn't advise trying to fight them Airachnid," Sunset huffed as she punched Airachnid in the gut, forcing her back.
Airachnid did nothing but smirk deviously, "We shall see."
The female spider performed a strong kick to Sunset's head unit, throwing her entire body down on the ground with her. She had a new target on her mind.
Her back spider legs all spread and carried her over to Ultra Magnus who was focused on fighting another Decepticon. She just needed the opportunity to make her strike. She raised a spider leg up for her to stab right through the Autobot's back, but she halted when she heard a peculiar sound... the sound of... music?
She turned her head around, and so did everyone else. Racing down a road heading towards them were two vehicles. One in bright pink that looked more like a Cybertronian vehicle form, while the other was a plain white race car with blue and red stripes on it.
The two vehicles halted at the battlefield, and the music began to pick up even louder. As it got louder, the vehicles transformed into their alternate forms. The pink car folded out four legs, a few turret guns from its sides and a pony head from the front, while the cockpit slided underneath its belly. The other car began to change its shape, with arms folding out and legs emerging, along with a head with horns and a blue visor on his face.
The two forms smirked at the battle and readied themselves to fight.
"Lets turn up the heat in here!" Jazz called out as he stood in a fighting position. Just then, from out his shoulders and his legs, several speakers began to reveal themselves.
"Hit it!"
Jazz smirked as the music raised up to a millennium, and all of the Decepticons were thrown back from how loud the sound was. And from the speakers, there were a few glowing sound-waves that kept on spreading from the speaker as the music played. And as the music played, Jazz and Pinkie started singing as they took down the enemy.
Those fortunate ones
To be fast and free and young
I want to count myself among
Those fortunate ones
The rest of the girls smirked as they watched the two battle, and soon others began joining in as they fought the enemy. Applejack and Ironhide sung another chorus as they kept punching and kicking another soldier that stood in their way.
We won't be denied
We know that time is on our side
We've got the passion and the pride
We won't be denied
Rainbow Dash and Sideswipe smirked as well, and the two of them sang as well as they fought the Decepticons around them. Sideswipe moved extremely fast on his two legs, knocking down every Decepticon in his way without breaking a sweat. The super speed gave him an extra energy boost.
Rainbow Dash performed movements in the air. She flapped her metallic wings up into the air and zoomed back and forth ramming herself into every Decepticon on the ground like a hawk. And with each Decepticon that tried to strike back, the little turrets that were connected to the bottoms of her wings locked onto target and fired.
This generation
With fire in our eyes
Strong are the ties that bind us
We don't need no alibis
Having space to themselves, the girls converted their suits into their pony forms and they began a running charge at the Decepticons. Their heads lowered down to ram them down, and a bunch of Decepticons were met with dozens of hooves stomping over their bodies.
Nothin's gonna stand in our way
Nothin's gonna stand in our way
Nothin's gonna stand in our way
Not tonight
Bumblebee along with a group of other Autobots ran on their feet and held their guns up in the air as they ran towards a Decepticon with sharp talons, with the body of an insect-like worm. Their fingers pressed on the triggers as they let out the charge to shoot down the Decepticon. But none of their shots affected him in the slightest, but instead of fighting back, he began burrowing into the ground for a strategic attack.
We want it all
And tonight we got the call
We're running high but we won't fall
We want it all
The Decepticon worm shot out of the ground right behind the group of Autobots, and they turned in time to shoot at the worm without end, making it fall on its back in pain.
We won't be denied
Like a breaker at high tide
We're gonna take that sweet joy ride
We won't be denied
Sunset Shimmer turned her head to the right and watched as Ultra Magnus was surrounded and needed help. Without question, she turned herself around to go charge at the enemy and help him. She narrowed her eyes to look straight at Ultra Magnus and the enemy around him, not letting any Decepticons around her keep her distracted.
Through expectations
Moments in the sun
We've waited all our lives
And now we know our time has come
Ultra Magnus fired another shot from his gun and he leapt up into the air and stood on Sunset's back while she ran. Ultra Magnus crouched down and held his gun tightly as he fired to each Decepticon that came at them. Decepticon ready to pounce on Sunset, a laser shot in the chest. A frog's tongue ready to sting on her right? A laser strike to the tongue rendering him zapped. A claw attack on her left ready to try and nab them both? Another laser shot to the chest.
Nothin's gonna stand in our way
Nothin's gonna stand in our way
Nothin's gonna stand in our way
Not tonight
Optimus Prime stood with his cannon clutched in his hands as he stood tall and brave, pulling the trigger on his gun to nail down the charging Decepticons. He didn't break a sweat as he stood, and none of them made him flinch or flee as they ran at him. Left to right, it went a boom, boom, and boom.
Nothing's standing...
Nothing stands in our way
Nothing's standing...
Nothing stands in our way
Bumblebee smirked as he looked at the Decepticons in front of him. He folded out his new set of stingers and aimed them towards the next incoming Vehicon warrior. With them both charging up with electricity, he let them unleash a powerful sting onto the Vehicon, sending volts of electricity coursing through his body, all the while Bumblebee held his stingers up in the air continuing to zap him, wanting him knocked down.
Perceptor and Knockout who were engaged with another Decepticon were doing what they could to fight. Knockout used his new shields to block the rounds that were shooting at him, and Perceptor used his new levitation strength to raise broken debris and fling it at the enemy like a catapult. Knockout smirked to Perceptor before turning his attention to another Decepticon. While he ran, he sung another verse.
This generation
We've got a fire in our eyes
Strong are the ties that bind us
We don't need no alibis
Knockout quickly moved in time and stood behind Bumblebee, raising a shield to save Bumblebee from getting shot in the back with his shields. The Decepticon stopped firing and snarled at Knockout before getting distracted by another oncoming enemy. Rarity fired a beam of energy at the Decepticon, pushing him down onto the ground, eliciting a smirk from Rarity.
Nothin's gonna stand in our way
Nothin's gonna stand in our way
No, nothin's gonna stand in our way
Not tonight
Not tonight
Not tonight
Not tonight
Airachnid looked around and observed the situation. She and her pack were outnumbered, and there were too many Autobots to battle. They were overrunning them with their new abilities and teammates, and they couldn't fight back.
"Decepticons, I call for a strategic evacuation at once!" Airachnid called before her body transformed into a helicopter form. She began to take off into the sky, and she fled the scene as fast as she could. The other Decepticons picked up on the situation, and all exchanged agreeing nods. They weren't going to win this battle.
One by one, they all began to convert into their alternate forms and run from the battlefield. The Autobots had won.
Nothing's standing...
Nothing stands in our way
Sunset and the rest of the team watched as the Decepticons fled for their lives. They were taken down by their new teammates, new suits, and new strengths. This was going to be much better than they imagined.
Nothin's gonna stand in our way
Nothin's gonna stand in our way
Nothin's gonna stand in our way
Not tonight
Sunset's pony form transformed into its alternate form, standing much like a human being. She stood for a moment and watched as they ran away.
"Well... they got away again. What were they even here for?" Sunset asked.
"Sunset! Right here!" Twilight called.
Sunset and the others turned their head around to look to where Twilight stood. Right beside Twilight was a pile of Energon cubes, all glowing bright blue. Fresh Energon, all for the taking.
"Energon cubes. That's what they were after?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"I thought they here to scare the pants off people," Pinkie pondered.
"Probably not. Considering how limited their resources are, they'll want every ounce of Energon they can find," Sunset replied.
Ultra Magnus spoke up, "Why is Airachnid working with a group of Decepticon fugitives? And why are they even here on Earth in the first place?"
Optimus turned around, "During another one of our battles, a group of Decepticon fugitives along with Airachnid fled during their fight with our Crystal Prep friends. Ever since, Airachnid's been assembling Decepticons to try and build herself an army to claim Earth as their home."
"But wait! What about the big tractor deer? Or that one that looked like a big nasty puppy?" Pinkie interrupted.
Sunset halted, "That's a good point... Optimus, during the fight, did you notice there were some Decepticons that weren't... around?"
"Indeed Sunset. It would appears as if some of Airachnid's troops have left on their own and abandoned her pack," Optimus replied.
"That's right... Underbite, Thunderhoof, Chop Shop, Filch, Crazybolt... they weren't in the fight," Twilight said.
"We'll wherever they are, we'll have to worry about them later. We've got Energon cubes to take back to base, and we still have a spaceship to fix so we can contact the Autobot forces on Cybertron to let them know about the Renegades," Sunset said.
"Sunset's correct," Optimus replied. "Autobots, transform and roll out!"
Everyone began to transform into their alternate modes, ready to drive back to base. But they didn't leave just yet. They were gonna take the Energon cubes with them, every last drop of that Energon was precious.
Smallfoot converted into her pickup truck form, and the Guardian Dumper converted into an orange dump truck. Once the two were ready, a few Autobots began putting the Energon cubes into their hauling parts so they could carry them back to base.
When the last Energon cube was put into the back, the rest transformed back into their vehicular forms just in time for the Groundbridge to open up for them to come back to their base. Once it was opened, they drove on through without any issues whatsoever. No Decepticons to capture, but at least they got a little bit of some Energon. Either way, they at least had some success today.
