Author's Notes:

Captain's Log: I lost my toupee and girdle and I can't leave my room.

Sorry for this chapter being short, I promise I'll do more for later. Besides I've got bigger plans for the next chapter.

Sunset woke up once again, finding herself in a dark place. But she didn't see any sights of her friends, human or Autobot. There was just one single solitary light on her, and nothing else around her. Her breathing intensified, and she began hyperventilating.

"Optimus? Twilight? Rainbow? Sideswipe? Tracks? Pinkie? Slag!? Anybody!?"

Sunset breathed more and more, slowly breaking into a state of panic. She wasn't liking this situation she was in at all. But her body froze when she heard a maniacal laughter in the darkness around her.

"Who's there!?"

Sunset turned left, and right, all around but she wasn't finding the source. However she froze when she heard the sound of energy starting up. And a flash of red eyes glowed right behind her. She didn't see it, but she could feel the evil that was right behind her. Her body felt cold and she turned herself around to gaze into the red eyes in the darkness.

"Please... no...", Sunset pleaded.

"You will not stand Sunset Shimmer. You may think I'm gone, but I am never gone... I will always return...", the evil voice chuckled. Shapes began to take form in the darkness, and now Sunset was now staring at a new figure. He was colored in purple and gray, and his arm cannon was colored orange instead of gray.

Sunset gulped,and tried to keep herself calm.

"And this time, I'll make sure you stay dead!"

A purple circle glowed in the darkness, and before Sunset knew it, a big burst of energy shot right at her, ready to turn her body into nothing but a dead corpse.

"NO!"

Sunset breathed heavily, and she felt the top of her head, she was drenched in sweat and the sheets were drenched as well. Another nightmare. She looked around, and she was by herself. The rest of her friends must have been up and about with the rest of the crew. At least none of them would be startled by her scream. But the door opened up, entering in a dark purple skinned girl with glasses.

"Sunset, are you okay?", Twilight said with worry.

Sunset shook her head.

Twilight immediately moved over and held Sunset in a hug, letting her cry on her shoulder.

"Its okay, you don't have to be scared...", Twilight said, rubbing her back.

"B-But he's... he's..."

"He's not here anymore," Twilight said, pulling back from the hug. She looked Sunset in the eyes and wiped some tears away. "Megatron can't hurt you anymore. He's gone, all we have to do is handle Starscream and he is nowhere near Megatron's level. You'll be okay."

Sunset didn't believe what Twilight said. She still felt Megatron's presence ever since the battle of Canterlot. But Twilight was right. There was no sign of Megatron around, there was just Starscream leading the Decepticons. Maybe she just needed to forget about Megatron for a bit.

Sunset looked back to Twilight, and gave an understanding nod.

"O-Okay...", Sunset said, voice shaking up.

"You'll be alright. I know it. Oh, some of us were planning on doing a bit of spacewalking, do you want to join us?"

Sunset shook her head, "I think I'm just gonna stay here and fill out another report to Princess Twilight."

Twilight nodded, "Okay. But if you want to talk, know we're all here for you if you need us."

Sunset gave another small nod.

Twilight got back up on her feet, and she left the room leaving Sunset alone in her thoughts. She leaned over to her nightstand and grabbed a book from off the stand, and a small pencil. She began writing inside of the book, tears still streaming down her face.

Dear Princess Twilight,

Things with me and the girls are continuing to grow stronger. We've been doing well with the Autobots since we've met them, and I'm starting to see their bonds grow stronger with our friends. Bumblebee and Fluttershy have been getting along great and she's helped him talk things out with a friend he lost before, Rainbow's helped Sideswipe cope with his past about the loss of his brother, and Rarity managed to help Knockout feel comfortable just being himself. However I'm still having nightmares about Megatron returning. I keep having this feeling he's not completely gone, and I'm not sure that he is. But I'm starting to have scary thoughts about Equestria being destroyed. Smallfoot explained to me that the monster I saw in my dream was real, an entity that destroyed her home planet. I hope this thing isn't out there as we speak, but I would like you and everyone in Equestria to keep an eye out for anything in the sky in case. I'm scared Twilight, please be safe.

Your friend, Sunset Shimmer.

Static emerged, and eventually a screen flickered on to look at a girl with bright pink skin and a big smile on her face. She was holding her phone that was set into a camera mode, which began recording.

"Hey everyone! I'm Pinkie Pie, and we're in space!", Pinkie said with excitement as she giggled. "We're all out in space dropping off some big meanie Decepticon crooks, and we'll get to take a look at Cybertron! This so far, is our... third, THIRD day out here, and we're getting close to Cybertron!"

Pinkie flipped the camera around which faced a window that was outside in space. So many stars around them, and so much space around them. Before she spoke again, she saw Rainbow Dash in her Headmaster suit swimming around in space, with a smirk on her face.

"This is awesome!", Rainbow cheered.

Pinkie giggled, "Rainbow now knows how astronauts feel when they're in space!"

The camera turned around to look back at Pinkie still laughing.

"Lets go see what the others are doing."

A burst of static interrupted, and Pinkie moved the camera somewhere else. She was in another room with Twilight, Royal T, and Flip Top. The two of them were working on some fixing some parts inside of the ship.

"And here is Twilight with some of the Gobots! Say, what are you guys working on?", Pinkie asked.

Royal T gave a small wave to Pinkie before speaking, "Well, we're currently working on making a new weapon to fight the Decepticons. We're not too sure about this though, its a little unstable..."

"How unstable?", Pinkie asked.

Twilight cut another wire, and her eyes widened with a big grin, "Fixed it!"

"YAY!" Everyone cheered.

Later, Sunset came walking out the girls bedroom wearing her Headmaster suit, and she began walking to another room. She hit her finger on the door which slid open making a whirring sound.

She walked in and looked to see giant prison cells, with laser bars in front of each one. And in each the cell, there rested their Decepticon prisoners. All of them were in stasis-cuffs, and they gave snarling looks to Sunset who walked in. Sunset looked at each of the Decepticons for a few moments, in complete silence. She didn't say a single word to any of the prisoners, she didn't have anything to say to them.

Instead she just walked out of the room in total silence, and closed the door behind her.

Sunset walked down some more open areas of the bridge, and entered the bridge, where some of the Guardians were still manning the controls.

"How's the driving going? Anyone need me to run a shift?"

The Guardians looked back to the fiery haired girl and shook their heads no. They had everything under control.

"How close are we to Cybertron? We should be there by now, right?", Sunset asked.

"I think we are Sunset, although with how old this equipment is, its impossible to get a signal out here," Smallfoot replied.

"She's got that right, I'm not even sure if anyone's going to--"

"Unidentified cruiser, make yourself known. Who are you?", a voice said through the radio.

Smallfoot's eyes widened, and a big grin formed on her mouth. "Sky Lynx? Its me, Smallfoot!"

Silence paused on the radio for a moment, but the voice spoke again.

"Smallfoot? Is it really you, old chap?", the old voice said.

"Yes, its me! I can't believe you're still alive!", Smallfoot said with excitement.

"Nothing's going to keep me down my dear. Why are you in a Renegade shuttle?", Sky Lynx asked.

"We found it on Earth. And now we've fixed it up. May we have permission to land, we've got Decepticon prisoners," Smallfoot asked.

"I suppose so... follow me, I'll escort you to the landing pad."

The Guardians and Sunset looked ahead, and saw a giant shuttle like cruiser pull ahead of them. They couldn't see much, but they did see two thrusters on the back, and fins like a space shuttle on the back of it. A burst of flame was spewing out from the rockets, and it began to move farther and farther from them.

Smallfoot pushed a lever forward, and the Renegade shuttle began to pick up speed as it followed the Autobot in front of them.

Sunset moved herself forward towards the glass to take a look, and gasped at the sight in front of her.

"Is...Is that--"

"Yep," Smallfoot grinned. "Sunset, welcome to Cybertron."

The rest of the girls entered the bridge, and they gasped at the sight in front of them. They were here, they were finally at Cybertron. The Autobots home planet was right in front of them. But the sight wasn't as beautiful or glamorous as they imagined it.

There were parts of the planet that looked like they were taken off, there were holes inside with giant big glows in them, tons of open insides, and it looked like half of the buildings that were on it had been blown up, shot at, and obliterated by giant ships crashing them into it.

"Whoa...", Rainbow gasped.

"Oh... my..." Fluttershy followed.

"W-What... what happened to Cybertron?", Rarity asked.

Twilight gulped, "When I was on this planet with Punch and Blurr, everything looked like this around me. It was like I was entering a ghost town."

Sunset shivered hearing that sentence.

"Maybe this wasn't such a good idea...", Sunset said.

"We're not stopping now Sunset. We can do this. Besides there's still some nice stuff around here to show you guys. Come on, it'll be alright," Smallfoot said with some cheerfulness in her voice.

Sunset didn't believe Smallfoot's sentence. With the image of how Cybertron looked in front of them, how could they believe her?

Sunset gave an unsure grin, "Uh... okay, I guess."

The Renegade cruiser continued to fly closer and closer to Cybertron, and it stayed right behind on the tail of the Autobot ship in front of them.

Smallfoot kept steering the wheel, and the others continued to look out the window, looking at the almost dead and lifeless city. No wonder Optimus and his crew left for Earth, this place was practically dead.

The Renegade ship began to slow down as it was approaching a landing pad, marked with an Autobot insignia. The shuttle slowly pulled itself down slowly and delicately. Since there were no legs, all it had were thrusters to make it land. A cloud of steam pushed over the area they landed in, and the engines began to turn off.

A door opened up, and Sunset and the girls were the first to step out. But they didn't step out in their regular clothes, they activated their Autobot suits and walked on out, looking around them. They were the first humans to step on Cybertron.

"Whoa...", Rainbow said.

"Hey, check it out!" Pinkie said pointing to the giant base building ahead of them, with an Autobot Elite Guard symbol flat on the front of the building.

Twilight paused, "Wait a minute... I know this place. I think we're in Iacon. Punch and Blurr took me here, inside of that base to rebuild my body. And if I'm correct, that's the Autobot building, Fortress Maximus."

"Correction, that's a Titan you're staring at," a voice from out of nowhere.

The girls gazed to look at an Autobot standing in front of him. He was colored in white and black, and with the way he looked, he looked like he didn't transform into anything. But this Autobot also had blue visor eyes, and a mask on his face.

"May I ask who you girls are?"

"My name's Phoenix Prime, we're the Ponybots. This is Sparkplug, Rainspeed, Flutterblades, Party Tracks, Radiance, and Applebrawn. And we've got something you all would be interested in."

From the shuttle, the Dinobots all exited out, pushing the Decepticon prisoners out of the shuttle who still had furious expressions on their faces. And right behind the shuttle came the rest of the Guardians.

"Guardians, its very nice to see you again. Well, some of you. Not everyone here on Cybertron was happy to see you flee without saying a word," Cerebros said.

Flip Top groaned, "Why? What did any of us do? All we did was just leave with Optimus Prime."

"Tell that to the Elite Guard, Flip Top. Or should I say, Flip Flop?", a snooty voice said from far.

The Guardians and the Dinobots looked to see who spoke to them and they all groaned in anger and frustration. They knew that voice all too well.

"Not this guy again...", Pathfinder said, scrunching her face.

The Autobot they were facing had an Elite Guard symbol on his chest, a giant chin on his face, shovel parts on his shoulders in front of wheels, and lights on his chest.

"Who is he, and what's with the insult?" Rainbow asked.

"That wasn't very nice..." Fluttershy said to the Autobot.

"The name is Sentinel Prime and there is no time for nice around here. Unless you want to be scrapped by Decepticons in a few seconds," Sentinel snarled.

"And what are you doing out here!? Parking a shuttle past curfew, using an enemy shuttle no less, and returning back after you fled without a warrant!? Take them all in!"

The girls all groaned in annoyance, and they scrunched their faces. This first trip to Cybertron wasn't going to be as exciting as they hoped it would be...
