Sunset groaned from the crash, and she muttered something that could possibly be swear words as she got back up on her feet. A few agonizing moments later, she crawled on her hands and knees for five seconds until she got back up on her feet. Hopefully her friends didn't get hurt. But for that matter, where was she?

She opened up her chest panel and looked inside. A smile painted her face seeing that the Matrix was still safe within. The chest panel sealed up, and she started to walk around. Everything around her was nearly pitch black, she could barely make out was around her. Thankfully, having been a robot before, her chest headlights flickered on, providing ambient light around her.

She staggered over a few edges, nearly tripping on bumpy terrain. Climbing up over a ledge, she found herself in another dark corridor. There were little lights, but she was thankful to have some form of light around.

"Where am I?" Sunset asked herself.

Jumping onto more ground, she walked around until she froze. In the darkness was a pair of red eyes which were staring down at her, sneering ever so menacingly.

"You should know better Sunset. Unicron sees everything, and he will find you down here."

Sunset sneered back.

"It won't matter if he sees me. What are you doing down here anyway?"

"Paying the price for letting Unicron use me." Galvatron spat.

Sunset blinked. "Use you? What do you mean?"

"Unicron only wanted you gone and the Matrix of Leadership. You and that trinket are the only thing that can stand in his way." Galvatron explained.

"But why did you chase me and my friends?"

"After Starscream was dropped onto open space with me and my departed warriors, we floated about until Unicron stood before us. He struck a deal with me. He said if I didn't kill you and the Matrix, then the entire galaxy would fall."

"But you hate the galaxy, don't you?" Sunset asked, standing prepared.

"The only thing I want to do with the galaxy is to conquer it. What's the use of being a conqueror without a galaxy to take over? So I stayed with Unicron's path. It wasn't until my own soldiers started making complaints that I knew something was awry. And its all thanks to Jet Black Spark and her Shadowcons. They along with Unicron deserve to be vanquished..."

A bright flash of red light flickered in the room, and a earpiercing screech hit Galvatron's ears, making him scream. Sunset watched in utter confusion, until it suddenly clicked in her head who was behind the torture.

"Kill her... kill Sunset now..."

"No... I will not obey you!"

"Kill her... or all of Cybertron dies..."

Galvatron groaned some more, until he complied.

"Y-Yes... my master..."

Galvatron's eyes twitched as the screeching came to a halt. Sunset looked mortified when he looked at Galvatron.

"You're blackmailed, aren't you?"

Galvatron didn't say a thing, just sneered and snarled.

"Galvatron, listen to me. You don't need to do what he says, right now all of my friends and your entire Decepticon army is risking their lives to--"

Sunset's speech was interrupted by Galvatron trying to shoot her. With a mild yelp, Sunset dashed from the blast and hid behind a corridor wall, as Galvatron yelled.

"You cannot win Sunset. You lack even Prime's courage!!"

Sunset gulped as she hid behind the wall. How was she going to convince him now? And for that matter, where was Optimus when she needed him?

The battle waged on as every warrior near Cybertron's atmosphere unleashed all out attacks on Unicron. With any luck, they could buy as much time as possible to keep him from getting anywhere near.

On the surface of the planet, Bumblebee and the rest of the imprisoned Autobots ran outside and gasped when they saw just outside, with his feet perched on their own planet was Unicron. Thousands of stories up in the air and battling every warrior above, Unicron's focused locked on.

"What the heck is that!?" Bumblebee screamed.

"I don't know, but I think right now we gotta help our friends." Jazz said.

The Bots began to run as fast as they could towards the battle, but their eyes couldn't help but look at the giant god that was standing on their home.

Above, the girls inside the Guardian Command Center were trying their best to fend of Unicron's attacks, but none of their moves were making a dent in him. Unicron kept fighting off every attack they tossed at him, and nothing was slowing him down.

"Keep fighting everyone, we need to buy Sunset time long enough to find Prime!" Twilight yelled.

The Command Center unloaded all of its rockets and weaponry, releasing giant doses of them towards Unicron's face. Once they were unleashed, Twilight turned to look at the combiner teams that were inside the Command Center.

"Alright. Combiners! You all know what to do!" Twilight said.

Everyone cheered.

"Protectobots! Hotstpot, Streetwise, Groove, First Aid and Blades! Transform into Defensor!"

The Protectobots jumped out of the shuttle and converged into their gestalt; Defensor.

"Aerialbots! Silverbolt, Air Raid, Skydive, Fireflight and Slingshot! Transform into Superion!"

The Aerialbots followed too, forming their gestalt.

"Anti-Cons, you're next! Nitro Zeus, Roadblock, Dreadbot, Mohawk, Rigs, and Berserker! Transform into Tyranticus!"

"Come on boys, lets go kick some!"

The Decepticons jumped too, and formed their gestalt as well. All three gestalts made it into the outside of space, and all moved in on Unicron to make their attacks.

"It'd be nice if we had Victorion with us." Rarity said somberly.

"I know, but right now we need to focus. Prepare the laser!"

Outside in the atmosphere of space, Road Rage sat in her command chair, adjusting the controls, preparing Canterlot Colossus for the next attack. Everyone was rushing to prepare the vessel, and they wanted to move quick.

Road Rage adjusted a few more controls, but she stopped when she looked in the outside of space. A big whoosh of a boom caught her audio receptors. Leaning up, she took a look outside into the empty space beyond their battle. A big ship of blue and black came out of hyperspace. Its hull was blue, with black fins on the back, flames spewing out the thrusters, aided with gray wings. The cockpit glass as far as she could see was glowing with orange within.

She blinked as she looked at the familiar vessel, but gasped when she saw more. Another one entered into the space, and then another one, and then another and another and another and another! There were dozens of vessels entering the atmosphere along with a bigger ship that was larger than any of their other attack ships.

In one of the smaller vessels, a robotic life form sat in a command chair while two others sat in control chairs.

"Renegades, time for a change in plans."

"What are we doing now Cy-Kill?" Crasher asked.

"Attack that thing. That monster is responsible for the destruction of Gobotron, and it must be destroyed. All Thrusters, prepare for the attack!"

The Thrusters ignited their rockets and they charged forward, all on their way towards the battle. Road Rage just sat in total silence, trying to process what she had seen.

Back with Twilight and the girls, they had locked on their heat-seeking laser, and were beginning to start melting some of Unicron's plating to break on through. Their focus locked on as best as possible, they kept their eyes on the laser going through his chest.

"Uh, Twilight? Girls?"

Rainbow answered the call. "Yeah, Road Rage?"

"Remember that Cy-Kill guy?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Well..."

Rainbow looked out the window and gasped. "Oh Scrap!!!"

Everyone looked and were in complete shock. An entire Renegade fleet was now unleashing laser and weapons upon Unicron as they strut forward.

Unicron, not flinching from the blast, swatted the Command Center with just his hand out of the space, hitting it like a fly. The impact sent the Command Center spiraling and spinning about, now smoking.

"Abandon ship!"

The hatch opened up, and everyone jumped out of the vessel just in time. Hurling down to Cybertron's atmosphere, all six girls landed on their feet on solid ground once they reached Cybertron's atmosphere. Not too far behind were Ultra Magnus, Leader-1, Soundwave, the Seekers, Strika, and a few more Guardians and Autobots.

"There goes our only means of attack." Twilight said. "Wait, we're on Cybertron's ground... we can find the others!"

"Soundwave, did you or any of the Decepticons move any of our friends to a prison facility?" Applejack asked.

"We have a base a few miles north where we hold our Autobot prisoners." Thundercracker pointed.

"But what about our friends?" Fluttershy asked.

"The last assignment was to put your friends in cells, separating them from one another." Soundwave replied.

"Good. Now lets go!"

With their assignment now in mind, everyone started to run until--

"Not so fast punks!"

A slender pink and green form jumped from the sky and onto the planet ground in front of them. Sharp talons extended, accompanied by several tentacles emerging from her body.

"You aren't going anywhere, Auto-losers!" Earpierce snapped.

"This just got a whole lot harder..." Pinkie gulped.

Inside of Unicron, the rest of the team were running down several hallways, trying to avoid every tentacle and wire that kept trying to wrap around them.

"What part of Unicron are we in?" Indigo asked as she kept running.

"I don't know, but I don't like it!"

The team ran into another large area, but came to a stop. Up above they saw a conveyor belt holding several Transformers in its clutches. And below where they were standing, was a giant melting pool. Transformers that were above the pool were dropped down into the pool, and with agonizing pain, they melted away from the sheer heat and boiling.

Horrified at the sight, everyone stood petrified.

"Never in my life have I seen something so scary..." Sugarcoat gulped.

In the midst of the boiling and screaming, everyone heard a very strange yell. From a teenage girl no less.

"Wait, who is that?" Indigo asked as she turned around.

"Is that--"

"It can't be."

From out of a corner, they saw a little girl in gray and black armor running towards them no bigger than the size of a normal human. She was out of breath and screaming in terror.

"Its Sour!" Sugarcoat cried. "She's okay!"

"Not for long!" Sunny pointed up.

From the air, a big hulking musclewoman dropped down in front of Sour, her brawny hands pounding against each other in fists, and menacing eyes that stared down their souls.

"Oh boy..." Indigo gulped.

Back on the ground, Earpierce still stood ready for action, about to tear them limb from limb if they moved a muscle. But they couldn't waste their time with her, they had friends to find.

Ultra Magnus looked to the girls. "You girls keep on running. We'll buy you all some time."

Twilight nodded. "Okay. Defendor, Scratch, Stockade, Two-Heads. Lets go!"

Their accompanied Bots followed with the girls, and they all dashed past Earpierce on their way to the destination of their next location; in vehicle mode.

All of them took to the ground as they drove past several buildings that were crashing into splinters and fractures, dodging every obstacle that stood in the way.

Upon jumping the next cross, everyone transformed into robot forms when a familiar face stood blocking their path.

"Jet." Twilight snarled.

"Twilight Sparkle. I'm surprised to see all of you are here. Trying to find your friends I assume?"

"Get out of our way Jet, or we'll fight you." Applejack bashed her fists in.

"Yeah. We're not afraid of one Con like you."

Jet Black Spark let out an eerie giggle and a sly smirk. "Good. I've been waiting to use my final move on you all."

She jumped up into the air, hovering in place and staring down at them. Raising her arms up, she pointed to open palms towards Defendor and Scratch who were thrown off their feet and into the air, violently transformed into robot mode, hearing their screams of pain.

"What's she doing!?" Rainbow asked.

Jet smirked and she levitated Stockade and Two-Heads up towards her as well, both were now transformed into their alternate modes.

"If you want your friends, you'll have to get by all of us."

Jet's body began to transform as she floated in the air. Below, Defendor and Scratch were in vehicle form, but their bodies were being zapped by volts of purple lightning. Jet's legs connected to each of them, and their bodies transformed from vehicle forms into two different pairs of feet. Stockade and Two-Heads were zapped as well, as they slammed into Jet's arms, and formed two hulking arms with sharp talons for fingers.

Her own body transformed with them, forming a larger body to match the size and depth of the other forms, and a new head appeared. Horns jotted, a green visor and a malicious grin on her face, Jet's new body slammed onto the ground, towering over all of the girls with heavy intent to kill.

The girls all gulped and took one step back.

"Welcome to the end of the road girls. Today, you die!"
