Author's Notes:

So just from the title, it should be clear what's going on. I'm planning on taking some more time to create the next battle scene, so until then, enjoy some build-up and 'Four'shadowing... heh, I suck.

Also just thinking in my head, throwing G.I.JOE is just too much. I've already got Transformers and Gobots mixed in, this is just gonna be too much thrown in. And as another thought in mind, I'm contemplating making a separate group for my EGID series, so if you have any questions or things to ask about it, you can ask me in that group.

Once all of the volunteering students were called, each one of them met up at the front of Canterlot High for their meeting. They stood near the front doors, sitting along the stairs, on the railing, or on the concrete ground. And Sunset and the girls stood in front of the Wondercolt statue to face all of them.

As soon as their attention was on them, Sunset cleared her throat and began to speak.

"Welcome back to CHS, including but not limited to; Toxigo, Lemon Zest, Indigo Zap, Jet Set and Upper Crust, Neon Lights, Vinyl Scratch, Octavia Melody, Micro Chips, and Starlight Glimmer."

The group said hello to their friends with friendly smiles.

"Hello to you too. Now, I've called you all here for your help, and I believe I'm going to need all of you to stay with us this time for what we are about to face. We have reason to believe, that Lord Megatron is returning with his Decepticons to begin a new plan of world domination."

The group's happy smiles changed to worried murmurs as they spoke with one another with a few panicked looks.

"Everyone, please calm down! Coppermane, Sour Sweet, Sunny Flare, Trenderhoof, Flash Sentry, Royal Pin, Lyra and Bon Bon, and Trixie!"

All of them stopped when they heard their names.

"We can still do this. We may not know their progress at the moment, but this is our chance to prepare ourselves so we can fight. Now I'm going to suggest that you use whatever weaponry and armory you can use against them because I don't want you to get yourselves hurt. So rule number 1; stay in groups, no one is left behind or divided. United we stand, divided we fall."

No one interrupted, and continued to listen to what she had to say.

"So what we're going to do is we're going to give you some weapons, and even some armor to protect yourselves. We have a few spare Headmaster suits that you can use to defend your bodies, and we have Apex Armor suits that will be a bigger help since they're indestructible. I strongly suggest some of you wear those. Now, I think we should be able to handle this since we have enough weaponry and supplies to fight a whole brigade of them, but should things go wrong, we're going to call them for help. And with our limited allies here in the city, we've already called the Rescue Bots, the Protectobots, ex-Cons, and the Canterlot Police Department for our help. We need every hand we can get to hold them off until Optimus arrives. Do I make myself clear?"

"Yes Sunset," Everyone said.

"Good. Everyone... Lets suit up!"

"You heard the lady, lets get crackin!" Indigo followed.

Sunset led the group to the inside of Canterlot High. The school luckily for them wasn't closed up, and if they needed to go inside to collect some of their gear to deal with the Decepticons, they all had access to go inside.

The gaggle of teenagers entered inside of the school walking on through the hallways to go find the defenses that they needed. With a few more turns, they would be near to what they needed to grab.

Back up in the sky, Starscream and the rest of his group continued to soar above the clouds, on their way to Canterlot High.

"Move faster! Sunset Shimmer mustn't leave before we arrive!" Starscream snapped.

"We're moving at top speed, we'll make it in time," Thundercracker replied.

"Someone's just mad because Megatron, ahem, Galvatron is back," Skywarp said.

"Of course I'm mad! Everything was working fine until they showed up!"

"Your head isn't screwed on right if you think your operations are working fine," Blitzwing said from behind.

"Shut it you! Lets just keep our focus on..."

Starscream and the others looked below to see a strange sight. A gigantic blue bird was soaring through the air below them, and it was entirely metallic. And even though it was hard to see, they could see a small golden necklace hanging around the neck of the fowl.

"Who is that?" Thundercracker asked.

"Nothing but a nuisance. Eclipse; destroy her," Starscream ordered.

The big dragon behind them roared and flew downwards, heading right towards the blue bird. She let out a mighty roar as she charged forward towards her.

The Decepticon bird let out a screech as it continued to fly in the air, until it heard a monster roar up above her. Changing course, she leaned to left avoiding oncoming fire from the dragon. She turned herself around, flapping her wings hard to keep herself up and she squinted her eyes at her opponent. She watched as the dragon Eclipse change her shape into her alternate form and land on the ground, her sharp taloned toe-nails jamming into the ground.

Eclipse's turquoise eyes looked ahead at the bird in front of her and smirked as she watched it continue to flap her wings.

"Bye bye birdie..." Eclipse said as she began a running charge.

The bird simply retorted by flapping her wings even harder, creating a strong gust of wind, blowing towards her direction. Eclipse just held her ground while raising a hand up to her face, keeping the wind out of her eyes.

"You can't get rid of me, I'm unstoppable!"

The bird continued to furl her eyebrows as she locked on target. But as she readied for another flap, she saw a flicker of her metal gleam into her eyes. That sparkle... that gleaming... that shiny piece of metal... She had to have it!

"Shiny..." she said to herself.

With one more flap, she changed tactics and flew forward. She shot into the air like a bullet, charging head first to the dragon woman. Letting out a screech, she swung her claws out and grabbed her by the shoulders dragging her up into the air. Eclipse just continued to fight back.

"Let me go!"

"Mine! Mine!" the bird yelled.

"That does it!"

Eclipse raised her claw up and performed a slice and dice on the back of the bird's wing, eliciting a screech of pain from her. Her feet let go of the dragon who flew in the air and converted back into a dragon, and watched as the bird began to descend to the ground. Wanting her not to come after, she fired a burst of fire from her mouth, setting her ablaze as she collided with the ground.

An explosion of fire sent soundwaves around, creating a loud BOOM as she crashed to the ground. Seeing the explosion, Eclipse let out a roar and continued to fly in the clouds, continuing to go back on course to her destination.

Weirdwolf wasn't having much luck either. But he wasn't dealing with Decepticons. He was dealing with something far worse... a traffic jam.

He was stuck in between several cars and big rigs all around him, and the traffic continued to pile up further ahead. There were crews trying to evacuate the city and lead the civilians to go far from the city from the oncoming Decepticon attack, but the direction Weirdwolf needed to go was where they were and he didn't want himself exposed.

"Ugh... can't this line go ANY FASTER!?" Weirdwolf impatiently said.

He groaned some more and snarled. He had enough. This was taking too long and he needed to get to Canterlot High... at any costs. So with no regards, he pulled out, and started driving right through, pushing cars out of his way as he kept on driving.

"I'm sorry for pushing but I have a location I need to be, and I cannot be late!"

The blue muscle car pushed more cars out of the way, making more people angry as he kept on shoving them out of the way. People were yelling many a swear word to the muscle car, and tons of language that was downright vulgar.

"I smell like what?" Weirdwolf pondered to himself, "Okay that's just rude."

He drove by more cars until he pulled up to a barracks. Now it was time. He revved his wheels and charged forwards, ready to slam down the barrack fences. Once he received enough momentum, he ran over the barracks and threw out his wheels in delight while the crew members jumped out of the way.

"Hey! Get back here!"

"Sorry sirs, official former Decepticon business!"

Weirdwolf just swerved along the road, continuing to race to Canterlot High.

"Now that I'm driving, the caribou don't stand a chance..." Weirdwolf chuckled to himself.

And before the men could even react, another car came charging at them, running over the barracks too, smashing them to bits. A black sports car with glowing blue neon stripes.

"Hello again... Weirdwolf," the sports car said as it pulled up to Weirdwolf.

"Overload. I wondered when you would appear again," Weirdwolf calmly said. "Are you after Decepticons too?"

"Yes indeed. More Energon for the taking..." Overload snarled.

"I see. And how come you're not attacking me? You despise Decepticons and Autobots," he asked.

"There are exceptions to certain Cybertronians and Gobots. You are one of those. Since you have no desire for war... and since you didn't partake any battles of the war... I find you worthy of living. Along with several of those fugitives that crashed from the prison ship that you came from. The only ones I find worthy are ones who know just like me... there are no heroes to this war. There is only destruction and terror. All they know is destruction..."

Weirdwolf just stayed silent for a moment, taking in what was said. "I see... well anyway, I'm off to help my friends deal with a group of Decepticons who are on their way right now to stage an attack. I know you don't think much of this planet, but perhaps--"

"I never said I despised this planet. My sympathies go to these inhabitants since our planet's war has been brought to them. And besides, since we're on the same side in this particular situation... I suppose it wouldn't hurt to team up with these organics and take them down... only I'll be taking some prizes with me... And one of them is going to be one of Megatron's top warriors."

"Understandable. Now lets speed up! We cannot waste any more time!"

"I humbly agree!"

The two cars revved their engines and they sped up even faster, racing on the empty road without any issues. The ex-Cons had to beat the Decepticons before they arrive.

Elsewhere, back in Canterlot, over at a police district, several police officers were observing a few screens, revealing the squad of Decepticons heading their way.

One in particular, with dark blue hair and pale skin observed the screen with squinting eyes and a serious look.

"Okay. All forces are to diverge for Canterlot High School. We may not be much, but we have to do what we can until Optimus Prime and the Autobots arrive."

"Yes Shining Armor," a police officer said.

Shining Armor slammed his fist on a red button, and soon an alarm began to go off in the speakers and all throughout the station.

"Decepticon Alert! This is not a drill! All forces must converge for Canterlot High School! This is not a drill!"

All of the police officers armored up with heavy armor, heavy weaponry, armored trucks, basically anything they could use to help themselves against the Decepticons. Swarms of cars and trucks began to pull out of the station and into the streets violently, not wanting to waste any time. The Canterlot Police Department was now on its way to help.

Meanwhile

In a garage in the city, several Autobot and Guardian warriors began to rush out. The one leading the group looked at the group with a stern look and instructed them all.

"Alright Autobots. We've got Decepticons to hold off and not much time. Sunset and the others need every hand they can until Optimus arrives. So lets do what we can to save the day. Understood?"

"Yes Heatwave!", Everyone called.

"Good. Lets roll to the rescue!"

The robots began to change their shapes as they converted to their car forms.

"Quickshadow! Siren! Boulder! Strongarm! Prowl! Hotspot! Streetwise! Groove! First Aid! Blades! Lets roll out!"

All of the vehicles raced from their base and into the empty streets, on their way to Canterlot High. Not wasting any time, they didn't bother questioning their orders or commands at this point. They had to go now!
