Author's Notes:

Oh the Monty Python references... I'm so sorry guys, I couldn't resist! Usually I try to keep the referencing to just Transformers related... which now that I think of it, this may have some references to The Last Knight, but I couldn't resist with Monty Python related humor!

But, so sorry for this not getting out soon. I had a lot of stuff to do, motivational problems, but I believe its done now! Hope you enjoyed it

Elsewhere, the rest of Sunset's friends including Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash and many others were off on their own adventure. But the location they were dropped off to wasn't one that either of them had in mind. Well, everyone except for Rarity. She was okay with where they were at.

The lands around them were lush and green, with many trees and hills surrounding them. But the sky was very grayish and gloomy with clouds covering almost every inch. It wasn't raining, but the atmosphere was the right enough to start pouring down.

The group themselves were in much more cheer-filled spirits than the air above. In fact, they were in very high spirits. A grin was seen on every one of their faces as they walked along a path that was paved into the land around them. But as the girls walked together, the sounds of horse's hooves hit the ground as the girls walked. But as the sound of hooves hit the ground, the girls all skipped together acting like they were riding a bunch of horses.

"Come along girls, we mustn't dilly or dally! We're nearly there!" Rarity said, leading the pack.

"Why are we going to a Renaissance festival again? I thought our goal was to not draw attention to ourselves." Sideswipe spoke up.

"Yeah, I agree with Sideswipe on this. Don't you think giant robots would catch a few eyes here?" Applejack spoke.

"Nonsense darling! We're all dressed up, I'm sure no one can see through their disguises! After all, we're in disguise!"

Rarity was right. All ten of them were all in separate costumes and attire to try and hide their look. Disguising the girls was easy, but trying to buy materials and find ways to hide the Bots was a little difficult. At the most, they managed to hide Bumblebee, but that was only because he was the shortest one of them all.

At the most, they managed to put a few accessories onto the bigger bots, but that was the best Rarity could do. Knockout wore a king's crown on his head, Jazz had a small mustache attached to his lip, Sideswipe had wizard's cape hanging around his neck that could only stretch as far to his shoulders, Ironhide had a small battle mask raised up, and Bumblebee being the smallest was covered in a monk's cloak.

The girls themselves had their own costumes as well, all of them matching one another. Each of them were dressed like medieval knights, each with their own set of colors. Each of them had a sword, and each of them had a shield that had their logos imprinted on them. Rarity's outfit was pale white, Rainbow Dash was wearing cyan, Applejack had an orange suit, Pinkie Pie's was pink, and Fluttershy's was yellow.

"Girls? I'll be honest... I feel absolutely ridiculous right now. I'm literally a walking sign that says 'stare at me'."

"Just relax Bumblebee, it'll be okay." Fluttershy said, patting his shoulder. "We'll be okay."

Bumblebee smiled at Fluttershy's soothing voice. To him, Fluttershy had the voice of an angel, and it was a voice that always assured him that things would be okay.

"Well... if you say its okay, then I suppose its okay." Bumblebee replied.

"Hey, it just hit me! We're in England, and we're dressed as medieval knights! We should have a name for ourselves!" Pinkie grinned.

"I'm not sure... what name should best suit our little band of heroic knights?"

"Well... you girls fight for what you believe in, you do use what you all call 'friendship magic' to stop the bad guys that keep knockin on your door... how about the Knights of Friendship?"

"That's perfect!" Pinkie grinned. "We're the Knights of Friendship!"

"Well then my brave and knights, let us march forth to the festival! Perhaps there we can find someone who can help us find our way to where we are!" Rarity called off as she continued to lead the pack.

The girls continued to go on their merry way down to where the festival was located, all the while the sounds of a pack of horses riding the grounds continued to be made.

"... and that is how we know the Earth is round." Fluttershy finished.

"This new learning is amazing Fluttershy. Perhaps you could explain how exactly the ancient knights of Cybertron came here to this world when King Arthur was still around? That seems rather confusing." Rarity asked.

"I think I can. You see--"

"Girls look!"

All of them stopped as they reached the top of a small hill and looked down below. Down below were a bunch of tents set up along with medieval music playing below, and many people in costumes wandering through the fair.

"We've made it!" Rarity squeed. She looked to the girls with a beaming smile on her face. "Girls, we have arrived to our destination. Let us ride to the Renaissance!"

The girls continued to imitate horse riding as the sounds of trotting hooves rolled its way down the hill. The Autobots slowly walked behind them, and soon they all made their way down the hill.

As they made it to the bottom, they all slowed down as they reached the entrance.

"Maybe we should dismount?" Pinkie asked.

"Good idea. We can leave the horses here. Everyone! Dismount!"

The girls raised a leg up and around, pretending to get off a horse, and then walked into the village normally with the Autobots.

As they reached the bottom, they all stopped when they were met with a few disturbed and odd looks from some of the people in the festival. They were staring at them like they were out of town guests.

"Uh... what do we do?" Fluttershy whimpered, hiding behind Rarity.

"We'll be alright darling. Um... excuse me? Is this the Renaissance festival?"

One of the people spoke up. "Indeed!"

"Well, I wanted to ask, does anyone know what part of England we're standing on?" Rarity asked.

Before she could get an answer, everyone stopped dead in their tracks when they heard the sound of a loud roar of a monster. The roar sent echoes throughout the the festival, blowing their hair in the wind.

"Um... do any of you have a giant dragon here as part of the festivities?" Rarity asked.

"I don't think so. None of us have the budget for a giant dragon."

"Maybe someone ate something that set their mouths on fire?" Pinkie asked.

Knockout gulped and pointed towards the sky. "I don't think that's the case Pinkie..."

From the sky a red and black entity whooshed through the air, zipping over the crowds of people. Then another fly by, then another, until the form landed smack down on an open field on the other side of the fair, staring at the group. The figure was none other than the dragon form of Eclipse who snarled and growled as she stared at them.

"Rainbooms... I knew I'd find you soon enough."

"Decepticon... what are you doing here!?" Rainbow snarled, readying herself for combat.

"Who were you expecting? Flamesnort? The Last Knight?"

The girls stared at one another with some confusion, but only for a brief moment.

"How did you even find us!?" Rarity asked, pulling up a gun from her side.

"Your tracking signals made it pretty easy to find. Too bad you didn't stop to think about that, now did you?"

Pinkie's lips drooped. "Oh... that's what Road Rage told me to tell you... oopsie."

"It doesn't matter! You shall not stand in our way of freedom or victory you big... brute!"

"I thought it was quite obvious I'm a lady... the name is Eclipse. And none of you will make it to see the light of day, ever again!"

Eclipse let out a roar of fire and spewed the flames all over the festival, setting several tents and logs on fire. People were now running in panic from the giant flying lizard, and they were distancing themselves from the battle.

"Knights! Charge!" Rarity yelled leading the group.

"Autobots, attack!" Ironhide yelled.

The dragon roared once more, and used her front claws to toss the tents and debris out of her way so she could keep on moving.

"You're all going to be blazed corpses by the time I'm through with you!" Eclipse boomed.

"Pretty big talk from someone who hasn't even done anything!" Rainbow replied.

Eclipse only growled in anger and she charged at the girls with her teeth snapping together, clashing like a bunch of swords and daggers. She opened her mouth and a burst of fire fired out of her gaping jaw right at the girls and Bots.

The girls ducked down and they raised their shields up over themselves to protect their body from the intense heat. Standing close together with all five of their shields forming a blockade, they waited for her to stop the fire breathing. The intense heat hit the shields hard, pushing the girls, but soon they felt the push stop and the flames weren't coming at them anymore.

Once she finished, they removed their shields and they looked at the dragon who was calming down from the attack.

"She's cooling down! Get her!"

Rainbow and the girls yelled as they charged forwards with their guns firing at the air and the Autobots running for action.

Sideswipe moved fast on his wheeled feet and he starting running round and round the dragon.

"Hey! I'm over here! Or maybe here! Or maybe over here!" Sideswipe mockingly said, as he kept running from spot to spot in rapid speed.

With her eyes on Sideswipe, Rainbow performed a jump and jabbed her sword into Eclipse's dragon face with pierced her armor plating. She moaned in pain, and then looked down at Rainbow ready to attack.

"Whoops! Gotta go!" Rainbow said before running to the left.

Eclipse turned to the left but the minute she did, her face was pelted with lasers from Fluttershy's gun. But as Eclipse readied herself to breathe fire some more, she moaned as a powerful electric sting of yellow zapped her face, making sparks and burning a few parts on her face.

Angered with the burns, she quickly moved herself and used her tail which swooped Bumblebee and Fluttershy off to the side, pushing them like a bunch of bugs.

"What is your deal?" Rainbow asked.

"I'm just doing my job, and I take great pleasure in trying to murder you all!" Eclipse roared before breathing some more fire.

Knockout jumped in the way and raised up a shield, blocking out the fire which didn't have a single effect on himself or Rainbow.

"Why do you keep harassing us!? I thought you were after Sunset!" Rainbow said.

"Rainbow! Don't give her any ideas!"

"Oh, I'm not the one after Sunset... but my Shadowcon friends are. Your Sunset Shimmer is one of the few things that stands in the way of our master... and with her out of the way and the Matrix of Leadership destroyed, our master will finally claim ownership of the galaxy!"

"You honestly think Galvatron is going to rule the galaxy?" Applejack asked.

"Oh, you poor soul... its not Galvatron who will be leading. He will end his usefulness soon enough... but don't worry. You girls won't live long enough to find out."

Eclipse struck again, only for another series of short range blasts to her body, puncturing her skin some more. She panted heavily as she felt more pain stirring around, but she still kept moving. She slowly moved and took a glance at her next opponent. Jazz and Pinkie Pie were standing side by side and smirking.

"Crank the bass!" Pinkie shouted.

Jazz smirked and several speakers began transforming out the side of his body. From his shoulders, out his back, his ankles, and around his feet. All of which were starting to play a beat.

The sounds from the music blasted pretty hard and the soundwaves were forcing Eclipse to tumble and go backwards from how loud the speakers were. They were so loud she almost lost her balance.

Feel this forever!
Let it carry on!
Forever, forever, forever!

Feel this forever!
Even when you're gone!
Forever, forever, forever!

She dug her talons into the ground to keep her grip, and she positioned herself for another attack. But as she was ready to shoot another blaze of fire, she was pelted with a hurricane of lasers from everyone's guns and weaponry. They were set to the highest setting and they were stinging her armor very hard, and she felt herself losing some more energy. Her feet were becoming wobbly, and she couldn't feel the strength to stay standing and fight.

Just as she was about to go down, she looked up and she felt her body rammed down by a body slam to her face, and another slam to the rest of her body which pounded her into the ground. Standing on top of her, Ironhide put one foot on her head and huffed.

"Now stay down, Decepticreep."

Ironhide jumped off of the Decepticon and clapped his hands together, wiping away whatever dust he got on them.

"How about them Applejack. We've won."

"Great job everyone!" Applejack smiled, giving a high five to Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie.

"We are victorious!" Pinkie squeed.

"But, what do we do now?" Fluttershy replied.

However, in the midst of their conversation, Eclipse slowly moved her head up and she stared at the Autobots as they were talking to one another. She starting sniffing the air, a strange scent enraptured her senses. There was a peculiar scent from Bumblebee, and Jazz, Sideswipe, Knockout... and Ironhide.

Fluttershy gulped and she patted Bumblebee's arm, getting him to look where she was looking.

"Girls... you might want to see this." Fluttershy said.

Eclipse gave another sniff to Ironhide and an evil chuckle escaped her breath. Everyone had turned themselves around at that point, and were slowly backing away with caution.

"Uh... am I the only one who thinks there's something bad about this?" Rainbow asked.

She chuckled some more and she slowly moved a talon to the side of her head where her ear would be.

"Jet. You're going to loooovvvvveeee this. I can smell a great amount of energy in the Autobots. Something quite, magical."

"Interesting. So the girls' guardians have the magic that we're after. I'm letting all of our friends know. We've got something else to take as well..."

"Exactly. And now I'm pinpointing my location. The girls are in these coordinates. And to make sure that none of the girls try to take any information from me... I'm initiating Code 66." Eclipse said, pulling out a small hand held stick with a red button.

"You're doing a great cause Eclipse. Your sacrifice for our lord won't be forgotten, despite your failed attempt to annihilate them."

The call ended and she smirked evilly at the cluster.

"All... hail... Unicron."

Her finger pressed the red button, and she closed her eyes shut. The girls instantly caught on and panicked.

"Hit the deck!"

All of them quickly ran far from her and jumped onto the ground covering their ears. And just in time too. Eclipse let go of the button, and an explosion set off, creating a loud boom right behind the girls, taking Eclipse into the impact. Metallic pieces flew up in the air and it began to rain metal all around the girls. Plates, wiring, and even sharp horns and fangs flew into the sky.

The girls slowly removed their hands from their heads and got themselves up now that the blast was over. But the sudden drop of hard metal hitting the ground made them let out a small shriek.

The hard metal turned out to be a giant head, or really, what was left of Eclipse's head with a gaping jaw. The girls gulped in fear seeing the dead head.

"So... that happened." Rainbow said.

"Doesn't look like we won't be getting any more answers out of her." Applejack replied.

"What on Earth is Unicron?" Rarity asked.

"Hm... could mean anything. Whatever the case is, we got to get moving now." Bumblebee said.

"But guys, we've got a HUUUGGGEEE problem now! The Decepticons are after you guys now! Now they want all of you, and I think there may be a chance they know part of our friendship magic's in you guys." Pinkie exclaimed.

The Autobots had a moment of silence, taking in what they were just told.

"Well then. Perhaps we should get a move on?" Knockout asked.

"I think our time has just pluck-run out." Applejack quivered, pointing up at the sky.

The city of Scorponok was hovering in the air, casting a giant shadow over the lands around them. A hatch opened up and a bunch of Decepticons began to descend and skydive in the air, coming straight down to where the team was standing.

Their feet rammed into the lush grass, and their weapons began to purr with life.

"Why is it that whenever we managed to take down one Con, there's always ten more of them?" Pinkie whined.

Another figure landed down on her feet, none other than the new commander being Jet Black Spark.

"Hello girls... surprised to see us so soon? We knew where you all were heading, we just wanted Eclipse to stall you long enough to keep you here." Jet chuckled. "And now we know exactly what we came for. Decepticons. Take the Autobots.. and the girls. They'll make extra bargaining chips for Sunset Shimmer's surrender."

"Girls, we should probably start running..." Fluttershy whimpered.

"Agreed. LETS GET OUT OF HERE!!!!"

"Get them!" Jet ordered.

The team turned the other direction, and began to run. But their feet weren't fast enough to outrun any of the charging Decepticons.

"Why don't we transform and get out of here?" Knockout freaked.

"Wait a sec..." Ironhide stopped running. "I don't know about you, but I ain't letting no Cons take my friends."

"Darling, there are dozens of them coming down towards us! What can we do?" Rarity panicked.

Everyone stopped as they tried to think. What could they do? There had to be something they could do! And fast, the Decepticons were still charging at them.

"Wait! Wheeljack installed Groundbridge controls in our suits! We can make a jump to another place!" Pinkie cried.

Pinkie looked at her gloved hand and found the red button on her glove. She slid her thumb over it and pressed the button. A Groundbridge portal then appeared, ready for them to go.

"Come on!" Pinkie said, jumping through the portal. Soon after, Fluttershy and Applejack made a jump in as well. Rarity and Rainbow were the only ones left.

"Come Rainbow Dash! We must--"

A sonic blast shot on the path in front of them, making them run the opposite direction away from the Groundbridge portal. They tried to run back again, but it was too late. The portal vanished into thin air, sealing the exit.

"Now what are we going to do? I don't want to go with those Decepticons!" Rarity whined.

"Rarity, you'll be fine!" Rainbow said.

"Sideswipe! Knockout! Get Rarity and Rainbow Dash far from here and don't let any of the Decepticons get them! We'll cover your escape!"

"But, what if you get captured!?" Sideswipe said. "We can't get caught!"

"Its too late now, just go! Save yourselves! Keep the girls safe!"

Without question, Knockout grabbed Rarity by surprise and he transformed into his blue sports car form. Sideswipe then grabbed Rainbow Dash and transformed into his alternate form revving his engine.

"Lets burn rubber!"

Sideswipe and Knockout grinded their wheels on the grass, kicking up some dirt behind them as the two drove away as fast as possible. Now it was up to them to get the girls safe.

Ironhide, Bumblebee and Jazz all turned back to the Cons and watched as they kept charging at them, but even worse, more of them were coming from the sky. And there was only three of them to stand against all of them. This wasn't very good numbers...

"Guys, I don't know about you, but I've got a really bad feeling about this..." Jazz said as the sounds of stomping footsteps got closer and closer...
