Transformers Equestria Girls In Disguise 3: The Past Awakens
Chapter 62: Part 5: The Rise and The Fall
Previous Chapter Next ChapterThe battle against Unicron continued on, as every fighter in the field kept on trying to blast the ginormous god that towered over everyone. Many of their ships were being taken out fast, and several warships were retreating from the atmosphere.
"Renegades!" Cy-Kill barked. "Keep firing!"
"We're losing ships fast Cy-Kill!" Coptor shrieked.
"I don't know how much more we can take!"
Cy-Kill groaned. "Fine. Renegades, on my command. Abandon your ships, and set them to crash straight for Unicron. We will depart at once!"
"Yes Cy-Kill!" Fitor said on the screen.
One by one, Renegade ships were launching themselves right at Unicron and exploding upon the impact. And from every one of them, the Renegade crew within them departed their shuttles and flew right back up to their giant flagship, Roguestar. On the outside, everyone watched as thousands of Renegade Thrusters kept on crashing into the god and then the crew of each shuttle leaving
"Crasher, Coptor, leave the ship. Now. I will finalize the coordinates for the impact."
The two Renegades did as ordered and fled the shuttle. Cy-Kill entered in the final coordinates and stepped away from his command chair. Looking back, he let out one evil grin.
"Farewell... and good riddance, Leader-1! We'll be back one day, and we'll take you Guardians down once and for all."
Cy-Kill abandoned the shuttle and flew away with the rest of the Renegade armada. Once their final shuttles made impact, Roguestar turned around and jumped into hyperspace, fleeing the battlefield.
"So much for receiving Renegade assistance." Ratchet huffed.
The shuttle that Ratchet was on shook from a blast, and a small alarm was bleeping constantly.
"Oh no..." Ratchet gasped
"Alert. Self-Destruct call protocol activated. Please evacuate the shuttle immediately."
"Everyone, come on!"
Unicron's acid breath burst through the windshield of the shuttle, and bursts of flame sheared on through, creating interior damage and throwing the crew around. Van Guard was killed instantly, and Road Rage received more damage.
"Come on! Wheeljack, lend a hand."
Ratchet and Wheeljack picked up Road Rage carefully, and moved towards the exit. The hatch opened up, leading to the outside of space. Wasp was about to go, but a massive fire engulfed his body, scorching his armored plating.
Wheeljack was about to go back, but Wasp pointed at the door. He was on the verge of melting into pieces, but he didn't care. The fate of his friends was more important. Wheeljack, Ratchet, and Road Rage jumped out of the ship just in time, and Wasp pulled himself back into a command chair, steering the ship straight towards Unicron who grew larger as the shuttle moved closer.
Breathing heavily, Wasp hit a button pulling up a picture of himself, Bumblebee, and Fluttershy all smiling in a forest backdrop. The picture was enough for Wasp to give one last smile and wipe a tear of liquid away.
"Wasp... forgive Bumblebot. Wasp... say goodbye."
His hand hit another switch on the control, and a song played over the loudspeaker as he got closer and closer.
I can see a Rainbow in your tears as they fall on down
I can see your soul grow, through the pain as they hit the ground
I can see a Rainbow, in your tears as the sun comes out... as the sun comes out...
Wheeljack and Ratchet watched as Canterlot Colossus spiralled out of control. They were able to watch the horror as a giant fireball exploded in the God's face as the ship faced its eminent destruction.
"Sweet Solus Prime, help us all..."
Jet Black Spark stared down at the girls with heavy intent to kill upon staring at them.
"Welcome to the end of the road! Courtesy of Unicron's Heralds!"
"Everyone, duck!"
Everyone jumped out of the way, just in time as Jet was about to try and stomp on them. She didn't stay still for long, for as she made her stomp she turned around in time to look at them again ready for another maneuver.
"Stay still so I can kill you! I can make your deaths quick and painless!" Jet barked.
The girls stood ready.
"What do we do? We can't fight her without hurting our friends."
"Friends?" Jet laughed. "Your friends are now gone. Defendor and Scratch are now lifeless corpses... their blood is all mine, and the same can go for these Decepticons... They're dead, and there's nothing you can do to save them."
Jet threw a fist out trying to slam their circle. They jumped out of the way just in time.
"Wait, I have an idea. Girls, you all can form Magicus, right?"
"What!? Combining? Twilight we don't even know if it'll work, we just got back in these robot bodies." Fluttershy said.
"Just try. I'm gonna find the rest of our friends and get them back here. If I can find them, we might be able to take down the rest of these Shadowcons."
They wanted to say no, but what choice did they have? Jet needed to be distracted, and they were the only ones who could combine. The choice was clear.
"Alright. Go on ahead, we'll hold her off."
Twilight nodded and she quickly rushed off in search of the others. With Jet back to the group of five, she smirked as she stared down at them.
"You really believe you can stand a chance? I'd like a challenge." Jet smirked as she raised a sword up high in the air.
"We'll kick your sorry butt!" Rainbow snapped. "Now girls!"
A bright flash of light blinded Jet's eyes and the sounds of transforming was heard right in front of her. She looked back and gasped. The girls had all combined together, successfully into their colossal combiner form, who looked ready to kick her butt.
"Hiya Jet! Sorry we didn't show up when you and Indominita arrived. Our invitation to the butt-kicking must have gotten lost in the mail!"
Magicus punched Jet's head, knocking her block down onto the ground. But she didn't stay down for long.
"Very well, lets fight!"
Twilight continued to run as fast as possible, jumping over many pieces of debris that continued to fall from debilitated buildings, and shuttles that were destroyed in the battle above. Making her way over another ledge, she slid down with her legs, and tripped over another piece, landing on her stomach.
"Ow."
Twilight was about to pull herself up, but stopped to see a hand offered to her. She looked up and a big smile graced her face when she recognized who it was.
"Perceptor!"
She jumped up and gave the scientist a big hug, catching him by surprise. But his shock died down and he gave a hug back to Twilight.
Breaking from the hug, she was greeted by the rest of the Autobots.
"Guys! You're all okay!" Twilight was given a few fist bumps, and hugs from the rest of the Bots.
"Great to see you're still kickin' ma'am." Ironhide smiled.
"And you're back to your Cybertronian form again. Slick." Jazz grinned. "Now what's going on out here?"
"Long story short; Autobots and Decepticons are working together on this, we still don't know where Optimus is, and we've uh... we've kind of revived some of our dead to help us."
"Who, exactly?" Ironhide asked.
"Incoming!!!" Bumblebee pointed up.
Everyone ducked to watch as some more of their Autobots fell out of the skies, raining down on top of them, and landing all around them.
"Ow... never again am I letting you drive, Huffer." Brawn winced.
"You call that a soft landing?" Gears grumbled.
"Hey, its not my fault, I tried to hit the stop button."
Skids scowled. "Its called a brake, dummy."
One of the recovering Bots, Inferno, stood back up and gave a salute to Ironhide and some of the others that were near.
"Inferno, reporting for duty. Great to see you guys survived the attack." Inferno smiled.
"And its good to see you back in action." Arcee nodded.
"I'm sorry to interrupt the reunion but, we're kind of in a battle right now." Twilight interrupted. "We need help. Jet's attacking my friends, and I don't even know how to stop her. She's using some of our friends to make herself a combiner giant."
"Maybe there's something we can do." Perceptor intervenned. "If I'm correct, the magic that is between a single Autobot and one of you girls should be enough that can grant enormous amounts of power. But how to unleash that power is a whole other question."
Twilight thought for a few seconds and snapped her fingers. "I have an idea. The first time I worked with the magic is I had to concentrate it. If we can concentrate it together, we might be able to do something with it."
"I'm not sure, but, we don't have much time. I'll give it a try."
Twilight and Perceptor's eyes closed and their hands held one another. Both of them deep in thought, focusing their thoughts, their movements, all of their energy into one.
The Autobots waited, and waited, waiting for whatever sign of magic. Suddenly, like fireflies buzzing in a summer night, bright purple and pink auras glowed around the two bodies. Then, a bright flash blinded everybody's eyes, the sounds of a transforming mechanism filled their ears.
Once the flash had gone away, eveyone looked back and gasped in shock and awe.
"Oh my goodness..." Bumblebee gasped.
"This is... the coolest thing ever!" Sideswipe cheered.
"Autobots... they're in danger! Lets go!"
Ultra Magnus and a handful of others were busy trying to deal with Earpierce, but it was far too difficult. She was beating them single-handily and barely received a scratch on her.
"You boys have got nothin on me!" Earpierce snapped.
"All talk. No shock." Soundwave replied in his usual monotonous nature.
Soundwave and Ultra Magnus stood together and fired several blasts from their weapons to the Shadowcon, but she simply used her skeletal wing arms to block each laser.
"We can't kill her man!" Rumble complained. "She's too fast, even for us!"
"Why not send her somewhere where she can't do a single thing?" Frenzy asked.
"There's no... wait a minute. Soundwave, you can open Groundbridges right?" Ultra Magnus asked.
Soundwave nodded.
"If we can open a second one, we may be able to send her into the Shadowzone."
"Your logic is infallible. I will open a bridge at once." Soundwave replied.
Earpierce clicked her fingers, and she charged forward to make a pounce. She stopped in mere seconds as she watched a Groundbridge portal open in front of her. Jumping to the side, she tackled Ultra Magnus and started throwing sharp slashes to his face and armor.
"Face it dude, you've got nothing! You're an embarrassment to the Autobots!"
Soundwave charged forward, about to start a tackle, but Earpierce's tentacles extended out and clutched onto Soundwave. Before he could do anything, several volts of lightning purged his circuitry, knocking him out. Ultra Magnus weakly looked at the faceless Decepticon as she raised her talons up to make a claw attack.
"Bye bye, Magnus."
"Take your talons off my friend, Shadowcon!"
Earpierce turned around, and a big blast of purple shot her body, throwing her right off of Ultra Magnus. She slowly pulled herself up, and gasped when she looked at what was in front of her.
Standing in front of her was a giant, the size of Optimus and Megatron combined. There were several shades of purple, red, and a few colors of blue and black surrounding the body. The arms had giant microscope tubes and lenses attached which were now shaped like cannons. The face was colored purple, with blue eyes, and a black helm that had a single purple horn in the middle of the forehead. The chest was blazed in a sparkling Autobot logo, the legs had wheels on the back of the heels, and an extra pair of wheels hung on its back.
"What are you?"
"Your unscheduled end."
"No... that would be yours!" Earpierce growled.
Her visor glowed and a giant green portal appeared from behind her. But as she was about to attack, she stopped when Soundwave opened up another portal right above.
"No... no... NO!!!" Earpierce screamed.
The two portals slowly moved together and they converged together, forming a larger portal that now glowed in bright purple. She panicked as she looked at the portal behind her, and then back to the giant in front of her.
"Earpierce... be gone!"
The giant shot a giant blast at Earpierce which bounced her from the beam, sending her flying. She flew right through the Shadowzone portal, vanishing on the other side. In seconds, the portal closed behind her, sealing her in the Shadowzone.
"Enjoy the Shadowzone, Earpierce."
Ultra Magnus was given a hand to get back on his feet and he gave a friendly smile.
"Thank you, my friend."
The giant smiled.
"Our work has yet to be finished. The girls... they are in danger!"
Jet was merciless against Magicus. She blocked every move, and with every block, her own moves got stronger and harder.
"You Autobots ruin everything! And you aren't going to ruin my master's plan!" Jet snarled as she punched Magicus's face again. She tummeled down onto the ground from the punch, and moaned in pain.
Without control, she dissembled into the five girls that combined into her, all of which were in more pain that the giant.
"Once again, I win and you lose. Enjoy your final seconds girls..."
She readied a sword to slash one of them apart, but as she swung down, her sword was blocked by another blade that blocked her move. She glanced to the side and gasped. The same giant that blew Earpierce into the Shadowzone was now blocking her attack.
"Jet... be gone!" The giant spoke.
Jet's eyes sunk in as she took in the reality of the situation. Her face was shot with a cannon, along with her ankles and arms. The four Bots that were forced to combine with her dissembled into gray and black lifeless corspes, all strewn about, still immobilized in their transformed state. Jet groaned as she got on her feet, and as she looked up, she was grabbed by a giant hand which picked her up.
"Farewell."
She threw her up into air, and with her blade, she smacked her like a baseball, sending her flying right through several buildings, crashing through them more and more, and colliding dead onto the ground.
"Now that's what I call baseball!" Sideswipe grinned as he shared a fist bump with Knockout.
In the battle above, the Autobots and the Decepticons continued fighting but the tide was quickly turning on them. Unicron was taking out more ships than they could count, and not many of them were standing.
"Keep trying boys! We aren't going down today!" A Decepticon yelled.
Floating around in the emptiness of the space, Ratchet and Wheeljack held onto Road Rage as some of their Autobots were pulling them up into Omega Supreme.
"Thanks for help Autobots." Ratchet said. "Now come on, we have to help her."
The Autobots helped the two Autobots move her away, but one of them was too busy staring outside the window.
"Um... guys? You might want to see this..."
Everyone looked to the outside. From Unicron's lost eye, a figure of blue and red was found bursting through the air, soaring through the battle like it was nothing, heading straight down to Cybertron's ground.
"Oh no... we're in serious trouble."
Jet Black Spark had finally found landing on a patch of soft metal. She was in pain from the collision in the amount of several thousand buildings, but she wasn't too injured. With what little strength she had, she tried to pull herself back on her feet. But the sound of footsteps right near her ears got her attention. Looking up, she found a hand offered to raise her back on her feet. Then she smirked.
"So Unicron's handiwork has finally paid off after all... Excellent."
The rest of the Autobots now free from Earpierce were now struggling to dust themselves off and return to action. The giant that was forged of Perceptor and Twilight helped his friends back on their feet, who were nothing but short of shocked.
"T-Twilight? Perceptor? Is that you in there?"
The Knight smiled.
"Both of your friends are in here." The Knight pointed to his heart. "Combined, they helped bring me life... I am Nexus. And I am..." The Knight raised a sword high in the air. "A Knight Of Friendship!"
"Your charades won't help you, girls."
Jet Black Spark transformed and landed on her feet on the ground, a good distance from the group.
The Knight turned around and sneered.
"You do not seem to understand your loss. Our combined forces are greater against you, and Unicron. By my calculations, you will lose."
Jet let out a little giggle. "Well, lets see how well you think you'll win when you realize that one of your own kind is against you here..."
Everyone looked to her left and gasped in terror and shock. Nexus was so shocked his own sword dropped from his palm. But with a careful pickup, he walked back with the rest of his allies who stood out of fear.
In big stomps, were a pair of armored feet. The entire body was covered in knight armor, and its figure was less blocky and a little curvy around the stomach. The shoulders now held pads, a warrior sash hung in the middle of the waist, and armor painted with blue and red. The head was of major resemblance as well, but the glowing purple eyes took away the warm fuzzy feeling inside.
"No..." Ultra Magnus gasped.
"It can't be!" Strongarm shook her head. "That's impossible!"
The warrior raised a sword high in the air from his back and flipped on its mask.
"Autobots... today, you die!"
