Sunset's moment of being shocked and confused at Sari's arrival onto the scene was short-lived, as their monstrous enemy's eyes widened with recognition of her, causing it to screech with rage before lunging forward. Sari, in a display of agility and acrobatics the girls hadn't expected of her, leapt up into the air and landed on the beast's head, just as it reached the point where she'd been standing. Once there, she jumped again, spinning around as she did before pointing her hand at the creature. Those same blue bolts from before promptly fired out from her palms, striking it on the top of its head multiple times, leading to a yelp on its part. In response, it leapt high, taking a swipe at Sari with its stinger-gun, but it just missed her. Even so, it was enough of a close call for Sari herself to respond, putting her fingers into her mouth and whistling loudly. Before anyone could react, there was a new sound, and all turned to find, to their further confusion, that a scooter had spend along the road from the front of the school, turning on its own to head straight for the site of the fight, causing a smirk on the new girl's face. "Let's take this fight up a notch, shall we?"

Having safely landed back onto the ground, Sari looked the scooter dead-on as it sped towards her, much to the concern of the other girls. But within moments, Sari had grabbed the scooter by its handles and, while its wheels were still spinning, flipped it over her head and straight onto her back, during which time it had begun to change shape, in a manner not unlike what their shared enemy had done shortly before. Now it was, unmistakeably, a jet-pack, whose boosters activated immediately before sending the girl flying off into the skies above. Rainbow, naturally, looked on at this with awe even greater than that of her other friends. "So...cool!"

Meanwhile, Sari had lost none of her confidence, looking down from her vantage point to the hybrid below, calling down to it. "What, scared of a little altitude? You've got wings, right? So use them!" Without even once suspecting a trap in her demand, the creature once again transformed, reverting back to its more animalistic form before beginning to buzz its wings loudly. In seconds, it was up in the air, speeding towards the girl that had caused it such frustration, and as Sari saw it draw nearer, her smile widened. "You Cons never learn, do you?" Turning from her pursuer, Sari looked straight up to some clouds above her. "And now let's see what that gets you."

Sunset had no idea what her new classmate was up to, but before she even had time to speculate, her ears picked up a new sound. It was like jet engines, but having appeared suddenly, and very close. She and the others craned their necks upwards, and there, they all saw a pair of objects emerging from the cloud layer They were indeed jets, but far smaller than any Sunset and the girls had seen before. One was coloured white and orange while the other had a predominantly blue palette. They sped right past Sari, with the latter looking more than confident in her situation, and then, perhaps unsurprisingly at this point, the two jets also changed shape, taking on more bipedal forms, albeit far more human-like than what the monster had done. And speaking of whom, that beast's eyes widened further as it saw these two newcomers ball their hands into fists and, in a simultaneous motion, punched him right in the face, causing Pinkie to wince. "Ooh! That's gotta hurt!"

And hurt it did, as the blow had not only cause some serious denting to the face of the beast, but also sent it hurtling towards the ground. Doubtless it'd leave quite a crater, not to mention a fair few bills for property damage of the Canterlot High grounds. And it seemed that Sari herself knew this, as the descent of the creature caused her to speak out once again. "Alright, Bee! You're up!"

The sound of a car revving its engines caused all the girls to turn again, and the road outside their school soon saw a new arrival in the form of a small-yellow car, speeding along like there was no tomorrow. It turned, heading straight onto the school grounds and, like with everything else today, transformed right before their eyes, resulting in yet one more massive, bipedal robot standing among them. One of its arms changed also, becoming a sharper instrument, not unlike the stinger-weapon of the enemy, before becoming electrified, as if lightning coursed through it. The new robot, smirking, aimed its weapon up, right as their foe was getting close to the ground. And as the creature's eyes opened, it did so just as it came within close distance of the new robot, who chose now to give what had to be a pre-prepared one-liner. "Light's out!"

From its own stinger, the new robot sent forth a burst of bright lightning, straight into the monster's face. Naturally, this caused a fair bit of discomfort for the thing, sending it flying upwards again with the force of the blast before landing back with a loud thud upon the ground. It was charred and smouldering from the most recent attack, but aside from that there was no motion from it, having clearly been knocked out cold. The orange and blue robots from before finally landed from their aerial vantage point, and the latter pulled out what looked like handcuffs of some description before placing the object upon the hybrid's wrists. The girls, now with enough courage to take a few steps closer, watched as this quartet of strangers, with Sari among them, surrounded the beast, looking to it with a mix of wariness and confidence. "And that?" Sari began. "That's how Team Earth gets stuff done!"

There were cheers abound from these mechanical comrades, with the two flying ones giving each other a high five while the yellow one got to one knee, putting him at eye-level with Sari before giving her a fist-bump. Sunset, having looked to all of this for about as long as she was able, rubbed her temples in a clear sign of stress before finally speaking up what all of them had to be asking themselves at this point. "Okay...will somebody tell me what, in the name of all that's sane, did we just witness?!"

Sari turned, then quickly glanced to the monster at her back before nervously scratching the back of her head. "Yeah...I guess you girls do deserve an explanation for all this."

"And then some!" Applejack added.

Folding her arms, Sari sighed before looking Sunset square in the eye. "Tell me. What do you know...about the Transformers?"
