Author's Notes:

So after a long evening of stress and anxiety, I finally have this finished. Hope you guys love it!

Up at a crack of dawn, in a tropical jungle, the morning sun cast shadows on the land. And climbing one of the trees was a green robot who was focused on a few coconuts that were hanging the tree. His hand transformed into a sharp blade looking weapon and he pointed it up, focusing on the part of the tree that connected the coconuts together. Locked on target, he let out a short blast which shot stems holding it together, and a collection of coconuts fell down from the tree.

The mech smirked at his success. Then, carefully climbing all the way to the top, he pulled himself up and clinged to it like a monkey, getting a good view above the jungle he was in. The sight was nothing but pure beauty. The sounds, the lush, the sunshine, this was going to be a great day. His pink optics looked around some more, watching the area around him and stopped to look at the highway road that cut in between the forest up ahead. He could see some people passing by, going about their everyday lives. Probably had some jobs to get back to. But wait.

His optics squinted and he noticed something else. There was a strange cluster of vehicles moving down that highway all scrunched together like a group. Three sports cars, a yellow dragster, and a black and purple big rig. Who were these guys? Wasp's squinted his eyes again to get a better look again, and his eyes nearly jumped out of his sockets when he put the pieces together. There was only five people he knew who could be those cars. Worse, his friends could be in danger!

His finger reached his left audio receptor and he cleared his throat to speak.

"Wasp to Ragebot. Ragebot?"

"Wasp, what's wrong? Did someone see you?"

"No Ragebot. But Sunset might be in danger! Stunticons! Stunticons near Wasp! And Stunticons might be going to Sunset! Code Red! Code Red!"

"Alright, get back here now. I think we've got to run!"

Moments later, Sunset and Twilight were struggling to get all of their gear together and get ready to make their run. Wasp took a shortcut back to the motel where they were staying and he was helping the others get their gear together.

"Come on, we've gotta run!" Cliffjumper urgently said, keeping his eyes out for Decepticons.

"How did they even find us?" Sunset asked.

"I don't know, but all that matters is getting you out of here fast." Ultra Magnus replied transforming into truck mode, opening the doors up.

Twilight and Sunset got their little bits of luggage into the humming truck, along with small guns.

"Do we have everything?" Sunset asked.

"Well, we've got our guns, explosives, swords, our suits, wait, speaking of which are you able to make quick Groundbridge jumps on yours?" Leader-1 asked.

"I still have plenty of energy in this suit. But with how much is left, I only have energy to make one quick trip. I have to use it wisely." Sunset nodded.

"We'll talk about it later, lets go!" Ultra Magnus replied.

Strongarm, Tracks, Wasp, Arcee, and Cliffjumper all quickly transformed into vehicle modes all the while Road Rage was just pulling out weapons and hanging them by her side.

"I'll need this one, definitely am gonna need this one." Road Rage cocked one of the guns and twirled it around in her hand like she was at the Wild West. "Run on out guys, I'll buy you some time."

"Road Rage, we roll out together, we're not leaving anyone behind." Ultra Magnus spoke.

"With all due respect, the only objective that we have is to keep Sunset alive at all costs. So if staying behind to buy time will help her escape, then that's what I'm gonna do. Go! Go!"

"No time to argue, we've got Stunticons at 11 o'clock!" Leader-1 said before flipping around into his jet mode.

"Time to go for espionage." Arcee stated.

No one else talking, they all quickly moved out of the motel lot and got onto the highway road, driving away from the vicinity before the Stunticons could show up. All of them moved with brisk pace down the lane, zooming past other automobiles who went the opposite direction.

Back at the motel, the Stunticons all swerved and screeched in front of the place, kicking up stones and small rocks as they all threw themselves around into parking modes. But they weren't planning on staying parked for long, soon enough they all transformed into the five Stunticons who all were laughing. They had a bit of fun ramming people off the roads and causing accidents on their way up to the lot.

"Hmm... they're not here." Drag Strip stated.

"Scrap. I was looking forward to killing somebody." Breakdown groaned.

"You will all get your chance to finish someone soon enough." Motormaster spoke.

Motormaster pulled out a sword hanging from his back and held it in both hands, ready to swing.

"I know you're here Autobot. Why don't you face me now and get your death over with?"

Road Rage stayed hidden, still keeping her eye out on the group of them. "Ah, Motormaster." She muttered to herself. "You're still as nuts as you were about your plan to rule Earth's roads."

"You know I can hear you, you know!" Motormaster yelled. "You're not exactly far away."

"I know!"

Road Rage jumped from behind the motel building, performing a roll on the ground, hunched into a battle position. She fired a few shots from her blaster which took Motormaster down onto his back, and she managed to hit a few darts into some of the other Stunticons, but they barely flinched.

"You think a few lasers are gonna work?" Breakdown asked. "It takes more than that against us!"

"I don't care, I can fight you guys!" Road Rage barked.

Motormaster let out an evil laugh as he got back up on his feet with the rest of his warriors.

"All of us?"

"Yeah, I think I can, its just five of you, I'm sure... wait. Did you say, all of us?" Road Rage puzzled.

The Stunticons let out a little laugh. Soon enough, around them, Decepticons began dropping from the skies. All on their feet, all surrounding the motel area. The Seekers, Coneheads, Constructicons, Combaticons, Predacons, Terrorcons, the remaining Shadowcons, Insecticons, the Triple Changers, foot soldiers like Stinger or Steamer, Soundwave, Shockwave, all of them! They were all coming down onto the island, and Road Rage was just by herself.

She felt her heart sinking into her stomach when she looked at the huge masses around her.

"Oh. You uh... brought all your friends with you. That's, that's nice." Road Rage chuckled nervously.

All of their guns pointed at her, and she instantly knew she was dead. Right in front of her, walking towards her with some bulk on her side was Tremors who was stomping right towards her. Road Rage tried to shoot her, but none of the lasers had an affect on her, and Tremors grabbed her by the throat and raised her up right off the ground with just her one hand.

"Ergh, ack, ugh..." Road Rage wheezed.

"You're a disgrace to you're kind." Tremors snarled as her hand gripped tighter around her neck. "Now tell us. Where did the Autobots go?"

Road Rage wheezed some more. "I'll never talk! I don't even care if you rip my voice box out, I'm not gonna say a thing!"

"Maybe you'll talk if I do this!" Tremors punched hard into her stomach, making her cringe and moan some more. She was punching really hard that she was starting to make dents into her skin.

"You going to talk now?" Surge spoke.

"N-Never!" Road Rage cringed, under the sheer pain.

"She'll never talk." A cold stern voice interrupted.

Everyone turned around, and standing was Galvatron sneering. "Besides... we don't need to listen to her..." Galvatron's hand pointed to the skid marks that left the motel lot and onto the road.

The Decepticons stared at Tremors with glares before walking away, and converting into their alternate modes to follow Galvatron into the skies and on the road. But Tremors had one more thing to take care of before leaving.

"You won't be helping your friends bounty hunter. You won't be helping anyone for a while..."

Tremors transformed into a tank violently, and then finding her aim, she fired a big blast towards Road Rage's chest, throwing her onto the ground, and blowing up her right leg from her torso, separating it from her body. As her body lay limp on the ground in pain, Tremors launched up into the sky to join the others.

Ultra Magnus and the others quickly drove as best as they could, going right into the small town, but unfortunately, the Decepticons were already on their way.

Stopping, Ultra Magnus allowed some of the Autobots riding on the trailer get off, and he himself transformed into robot mode. Twilight and Sunset stayed close together as the Autobots were ready to fight.

"Alright, we know what we must do. We need to keep the Decepticons safe from Sunset Shimmer at all costs." Ultra Magnus replied. "How many of them are there?"

Perceptor squinted his eyes and transformed into his giant microscope for to take a better look. As he used his lenses to zoom in on the incoming enemy, he could see the Stunticons bashing and crashing through several cars and stands on their way. But as if that wasn't bad enough, he got clear view of even more Decepticons joining the fight, and even more that were coming in from the skies.

Quickly transforming back, he rushed back up to the group with a worried expression.

"Perceptor, what's the status? Is it just the five of them?"

He shook his head. "I'm afraid not sir. More Decepticons have shown up for the battle, and based on my calculations, all results say that we pose a distinct tactical deficiency."

"In other words Perceptor?"

"I think we're outnumbered!" Twilight said, pointing to the multitude of Decepticons.

The team all gasped when they saw the amount of enemies. This wasn't going to be good.

"Alright then. We'll have to improvise with what we can. Arcee, Cliffjumper, Wasp, Leader-1. We need to hold them off long enough for Sunset to escape. Perceptor, Twilight, Tracks and Strongarm. You four will help Sunset escape. Find somewhere to keep her safe while we hold them off."

"But sir, there's--"

"Strongarm!" Tracks interrupted. "Our job is keep Sunset safe, she's the only thing they're after. We need to keep her safe."

Strongarm wanted to argue, but she couldn't. Tracks actually had some good points. If they didn't leave now, Sunset would be taken right away.

"Right. Lets go!"

Strongarm and Tracks transformed into their vehicle forms. Sunset quickly jumped into the driver seat of Strongarm, while Perceptor climbed into the back end of Strongarm, clutching tightly, and Twilight sat in the seat next to Strongarm.

"Lets rev up and roll out!" Strongarm called as she sped away, Tracks closely behind.

As the five of them escaped, the other remaining five stood together, ready to fight. Several of the civilians who saw the armies come on in were quickly fleeing the streets as they were closing in. Soon, several Decepticons began transforming from vehicular modes into robot forms as they were standing up for action, arsenal of weapons unloading, prepped to shoot.

"Ooh, only five against all of us. This should be fun." Strika giggled with a grin.

Wasp gulped. "Wasp wish he had combiner team right now."

"You and me both Wasp. You and me both." Cliffjumper replied.

"We can't back down now." Leader-1 replied, standing his ground.

Galvatron landed onto the ground, joined by Cyclonus and Jet.

"Ultra Magnus." Galvatron spoke.

"Galvatron." Ultra Magnus retorted.

"Allow me to venture. You five are the standing lines to protect Sunset and the precious trinket from my hands."

"Indeed Galvatron. And you are standing in our way!"

Ultra Magnus whipped out his guns, Arcee and Cliffjumper readied their blasters, Wasp transformed his hands into his stinger weapons, and Leader-1 violently transformed into jet mode, ready to fight.

"Then I suppose we'll have to handle this with extreme prejudice. Decepticons, attack those vile beings!" Galvatron ordered, pointing towards them. Everyone screamed and they all rushed towards the Autobot armada. The Autobots let out their screams too, and they engaged into the battle.

Up in the air, the Seekers all joined in a fleet formation as they dashed towards Leader-1 who was charging towards them.

"I'm sick and tired of you Guardians." Slipstream groaned. "Lets just blow him up already! Besides, he's already lost!"

Leader-1 transformed from his jet mode, towering above the Seekers in robot mode. "The only thing I've lost Slipstream, is my patience!"

Leader-1's fists pointed towards the fleet, and two giant blue laser beams fired out of his fists towards the armada. Most of them quickly got out of the way but Slipstream, Thundercracker, and Skywarp were met with the blast and so they crashed into the ground.

On the floor below, Wasp used his stingers to shoot at the enemies in front of him. The Decepticons focused on him were the twins Runabout and Runamuck, along with Shockwave.

"Bring it bug!"

Wasp's stingers fired multiple green blasts to the twins who flinched from the paralyzing stings. They tried to keep on moving, but Wasp was firing like a machine gun, not letting up anything stand in his way. Unfortunately, he didn't assess the idea that Shockwave was still standing. And so, with Wasp distracted, Shockwave took his chance ahd fired a blast from his arm cannon at Wasp who was thrown right into store building, crashing right through it.

"Your actions are illogical." Shockwave simply spoke as he watched Wasp crash.

Arcee rode down the road in motorcycle form while Cliffjumper hanged on tight, and held a gun to shoot while Arcee was just revving down the road right past more of the incoming enemies. They just kept on driving past everyone without a care, and they did their best to shoot down as many Decepticons as they could.

Back with Ultra Magnus, he was locked onto a one on one match with Galvatron, doing his best to stand stronger. The two of them were evenly matched, and neither one could find their weak points.

"I've waited an eternity to finally win this battle, and I will not let an insubordinate second-in-command stop me!" Galvatron yelled as he slugged Magnus's face. Magnus blocked another fist coming to his face, and he punched him back, and even gave a swift kick into the stomach to throw him down onto his back.

"And I will not allow you to hurt my comrades." Ultra Magnus fired a blaster shot towards Galvatron's chest, mortally wounding him for a moment. But Galvatron got back up on his feet and continued to fight. Ultra Magnus pulled a gun out and pointed it to Galvatron's face.

"Just call off your troops, now."

Ultra Magnus kicked the gun away, and kneed Galvatron in the stomach and bashed his face in with his left fist. He gave one quick look up and looked at a forest highway that was away from town. He could see the small glimpses of Strongarm and Tracks racing down the road.

During the fight, some of the Decepticons stopped to look up to where he was watching and they all grinned. They knew what they were doing.

"Stunticons! Transform and hit the road!" Motormaster ordered.

The Stunticons all transformed for vehicle modes and they raced right past the battlefield. Eventually, they were accompanied by a handful of other Decepticons who could drive at a good speed.

Galvatron turned around and looked at Shockwave who stood by for what he would order.

"Shockwave. You said this island has a volcano, correct?"

"Correct, Lord Galvatron." Shockwave nodded.

"Then I suggest you contact our troops to divert those Autobots straight for it. I will deal with Sunset Shimmer there myself. Tell them to cut off any places for them to escape. We must have them detained in that volcano."

"Yes Lord Galvatron." Shockwave nodded before returning back to battle.

"Now where was I? Oh right." Galvatron pointed his arm cannon at Ultra Magnus ready to fire. "I should have just ended you right here, right now."

Ultra Magnus stood ready to fight again, only this time he was met with a surprise. Wasp was tossed halfway in the air and landed right behind him, moaning in pain. And landing next to Magnus and the downed protoform was Leader-1 who stood unharmed, with only minimal damage.

"Blast them!"

All of the Decepticons gathered close together and they each began to fire their respective weapons towards the three of them. With the bit of time, Leader-1 raised up a shield to cover all three of them from the attack.

"My force-field can only give us temporary protection." Leader-1 said as he stood strong.

Wasp weakly looked up to Ultra Magnus with a pained look. "Save... yourself..."

The heavy fire of artillery came down even more, and now it was making Leader-1's feet grind against the gravel, pushing him back to Ultra Magnus and Wasp.

"If this keeps up any longer... we're done for!"

Strongarm and Tracks raced through the forest, trying to get as far away from the battle as best as possible. But unfortunately, they caught wind of the Stunticons right behind them.

"Oh no, they're still after us!" Twilight freaked.

"Stay calm, we can evade them, I'm sure of it!" Tracks said through the radio.

Just then, several jets above them began to fire down upon them, trying to blast them. Most of their lasers however only managed to fire at everything else around them... except them.

"Can anyone aim!?" Slipstream yelled at her teammates.

Eventually, Slipstream got tired and she moved in a little closer to shoot. Finally after so many misfires, she managed to hit one of them, throwing Perceptor right off the back of Strongarm.

"Perceptor!" Twilight screamed.

"We have to keep moving, come on!" Strongarm ordered as she sped faster with Tracks.

Perceptor quickly stood back up and watched as the stopping Decepticons raised their weapons. Soon as they were out, the scientist quickly spontaneously whipped up a purple aura of a shield to block his body from their laserfire. Little did he notice that right behind were a few more Decepticons who had him right where he needed to be.

"Eat it, Autobot," he chuckled.

The Conehead shot Perceptor in the back, making him fall to the ground, steam emanating from his wound.

"We've got the last of the Autobots." The Conehead said, holding his finger to his ear.

"Nice work. Throw him up to Scorponok's prison hull and meet up with the rest of us." Motormaster replied. "We've got bots to hunt!"

Strongarm and Tracks raced as fast as they could from the incoming Decepticons, but they were coming at them too fast. They were firing at every direction they moved, they were throwing rockets at them from the air, and they even jumped in front of their paths to stop them, yet they kept going.

"If this chase goes up any longer... we're done for!" Tracks squealed.

Leader-1 still maintained the shield with all of his might, but his strength was slowly starting to diminish. He was being pushed against his limits, and with how many Decepticons were ganging up on them, he wasn't sure he was going to make it. Not even Ultra Magnus or Wasp's efforts to keep the shields up were helping.

"I can't maintain this shield much longer!" Leader-1 moaned.

The Decepticons moved closer, and closer, and kept on moving closer to tighten the space around them, keeping them trapped in their one spot.

Galvatron smirked as he kept on firing at them, and he stopped firing when he picked up a transmission.

"Soundwave to Lord Galvatron. Sunset Shimmer and her friends have fallen for the trap."

"Excellent Soundwave. Make sure they don't escape. I'll join you right away."

Galvatron took off into the sky, followed by Thundercracker, Skywarp, and the remaining Shadowcons. While they left the area, the other three Autobots were stuck trying to keep themselves from being pelted with lasers.

Ultra Magnus and the others looked at each other with worry, fearing their time had already come. But when their faces looked up to the sky, all of their frightened looks turned to looks of joy. Up in the air was the collasal ship, Omega Supreme that was soaring right towards the battlefield.

And inside the cabin, the ship was being driven by Blaster who woke up from his knocked out state, along with Lemon Zest. And right near an open hole was the Dinobots, the former Decepticon Cassettes, Sugarcoat, Sunny Flare, Indigo Zap, Pinkie Pie, and Applejack.

"Alright ladies, you ready to kick some butt!?" Indigo cheered.

"Yep!" Pinkie grinned.

"Wrong answer, try again! Are. We. Gonna. Kick. Some. Butt!?"

Everyone let out a loud cheer screaming. "YES!"

Lemon Zest got out of her seat and walked towards them. "Good luck girls. And one more thing..."

Sugarcoat was about to ask, but Lemon Zest surprised her from out of nowhere and gave her a big hug. Sugarcoat wanted to resist, but she couldn't. Instead, she just simply smiled and hugged Lemon Zest back.

"Be careful out there, okay?" Lemon Zest cooed.

Sugarcoat smiled to her as she pulled out of the hug. "I promise."

"For Highbrow."

Sugarcoat nodded. "For Highbrow."

Once she was done, she put her helmet one, and finished adjusting her suit. "Alright. Dinobots! Lets go kick some!"

"Me Grimlock love challenge!"

One by one, all of them jumped out of the hovering ship and began to skydive down to the battle below. And as their bodies were falling down the air, Lemon blasted out a rock and roll song through the speakers on a system of the ship, to the outside as they were heading for battle.

"Dinobots! Transform!" Grimlock ordered.

One by one, all five of the Dinobots transformed into their predatory modes, and the girls quickly moved to hang onto a single Dinobot.

Eventually, finding surfaces to land on, the Dinobots leapt up into the ground and began to charge into the battle with roaring and battle howling.

Sugarcoat raised a sword up as she sat on Grimlock's back. "CHARGE!"

Grimlock roared and he charged first with Sugarcoat clenching on tightly, followed by the rest of the rampaging Dinobots.

Slag and Applejack rammed themselves towards a group of Constructicons who all stood like they were a set of bowling pins. Slag just rammed his head straight at them, bashing them all out of his way, all the while Applejack held a shotgun in her arms, shooting at every figure that tried to come right back at her. Slag's tail thwacked another one of the Constructicons, and he burped fire towards the minion just to add to the fire.

"Excuse me!" Slag apologized.

From the air, Indigo Zap hanged onto Swoop as he divebombed the street, releasing several missiles in his attack. Most of them managing to hit their targets, and throwing the enemy off their balance. Sunny Flare and Sludge just slowly walked as they bashed and smacked everyone that stood in their way like they were a walking tank. No way any of them was going to try and slow them down from their journey. Pinkie Pie attached giant colorful cannons onto Snarl as he charged at the group, and with each one passing, bursts of lasers and added on confetti were blasted into their faces, or covering the Decepticons as they fought. Barely any of them got a single hand upon the two of them.

But once the Decepticons were distracted, Leader-1 was now able to raise his shield up, only to be shot in the chest by the Midnight Sparkle counterpart.

"Its over Magnus. You've made this difficult enough, and I'm ending this right now!" Jet snapped.

"No end Ultra Magnus, Grimlock end you!"

Grimlock swung his tail at Jet's back, throwing her to the ground. But she wasn't down for long, as she quickly got back up on her feet to face Grimlock and Sugarcoat.

"This is for attacking my friends... and my family! Grimlock, now!"

Grimlock jumped up into the air, and through the midair jump, he transformed into robot mode while Sugarcoat held onto him. Once he was up, he moved his body to his side, and then slammed on Jet. Jet's entire body fell back down, this time making a dent into the road.

"Mess with my friends... you mess with me." Sugarcoat huffed as she listened to her moans.

"Keep them occupied as much as you can, I have to help Sunset!"

Ultra Magnus said nothing else but jumped ,transformed, and he hit the road right on the trail the Stunticons had left on.

Back on the roads, Strongarm and Tracks were trying their best to avoid every obstacle, gunfire, and rocket thrown at them. Needless to side, the ride in the inside for Sunset and Twilight wasn't particularly fun for them.

"Ow!" Sunset's face slammed against the glass window as Strongarm made a sharp turn to the right.

"Sorry!"

Strongarm and Tracks made a turn to the right and found themselves revving up on a paved dirt road right through a jungle, but the Stunticons were still right behind them.

"They just won't give up!" Twilight exclaimed.

"Hang on!"

Strongarm made another turn, this time going to the left, avoiding the Decepticon that jumped in the way. Eventually, the two cars found themselves swerving in another direction. But they felt something was up. The dirt and grassy terrain they were driving was no longer there, and they felt themselves driving on a more rocky road.

"Wait, what's going on with the road?" Tracks asked.

"I don't know, but we have no time to ask questions!"

Making another turn, the two of them found just up ahead, a giant cavern big enough for them to drive on through.

"Right there, we can lose them there!" Tracks suggested.

"Good idea!"

The two cars drove straight into the caverns. Once they were inside, the Stunticons all transformed into alternate modes, stopping on the rocky terrain of the road. Smirks were on each and every one of their faces.

"Galvatron. They're in the cave."

"Well don't stand there, get in there and block them from leaving you incompetent dolts!" Galvatron yelled as he landed right beside them.

Soon a few others landed very close as well. Including Skywarp, Thundercracker, Jet, Earpierce, Tremors, Soundwave, Surge, and the Coneheads.

Everyone rushed straight into the cave while Galvatron and a few of the Shadowcons stayed outside. From behind, Galvatron could hear the sounds of rolling wheels and a powerful engine. Turning around, he watched as Ultra Magnus transformed for robot mode and held a gun at Galvatron.

"Stand down, right now!"

Galvatron stood smirking and rolled his eyes. He had walked right into a trap, and he didn't notice it.

A painful surge overwhelmed his body as several thousand watts of electricity zapped him. He groaned and moaned some more, until he collapsed onto the ground, and looked up to see Earpierce was the source of the pain.

"Earpierce. Zap him more. Slow him down. Once you're done, meet the rest of us inside."

Strongarm and Tracks at that point had transformed and were now running with the girls in biped form. And Sunset was still holding the Matrix of Leadership tight in her grasp. They made numerous turns and cuts through the caves trying to find a place to hide, but there wasn't much for them to go through. But something confused them to no end, the entire inside was feeling like they were walking in a sauna, but they couldn't tell why.

They made another right, but after they made a few steps running forward, Strongarm halted in front of them, getting them to stop.

"Why'd you stop?" Twilight asked, wiping sweat from her head. "And why's it hot in here?"

Strongarm pointed ahead of her. There was a giant gap in between the path they were going to the ledge right across. And in that gap they could see steam ascending from the rocky cavity.

Sunset took a few steps forward, and she carefully looked down into the pit and gasped. Down below was bright red, orange, and yellow lava that was flowing in a giant stream below. Thank goodness that Strongarm stopped them. If she fell down there... oh boy.

"Good call Strongarm, maybe we should find another route." Sunset replied. "Strongarm?"

She turned around and she gasped when she looked. Behind them was Earpierce, Onslaught, and many more of the Decepticons who came into the cave. Onslaught was holding Strongarm, and he held a hand over her mouth to keep her silent. Twilight was struggling to get out of Earpierce's grip from her tentacles, and Strongarm was being held by two Stunticons.

"You're ours now, Sunset." Onslaught spoke. "Try and find your way out of this one..."
