"C'mon Prowler, please?"
"No."
"Plllease?"
"No."
Pretty please with energon on top?"
"The appearance of the please does not matter. No."
"Plllllllllllllllllllllllllll llllllleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaass ssssssss-"
"No."
Electric Storm frowned. "You're no fun!"
"I did not come here to be fun. I came here to watch Ponyville. And you."
"Hmph. Well, fine! Be that way! I don't need you! I can find someone else to play with me! Somebody who isn't a stick in the quicksand!" With that said Electric Storm began to drive off.
"The human phrase is 'stick in the mud', not 'stick in the quicksand'. And it is most illogical that you would consider me a thin piece of wood that has been-"
"La la la la la, I can't hear you!"
At a Ponyville park…
"Pass it to me, Sweetie bell, pass it to me!" Applebloom shouted.
"No! Pass it to me, Sweetie bell, I'm open!" Scootaloo yelled.
Poor Sweetie bell was stuck between the two. 'On the one hoof, there's Applebloom. On the other hoof, there's Scootaloo. Which do I choose?'
The three fillies had decided to play soccer. Right now, Sweetie bell had the ball and was debating who to pass it to. She finally decided she couldn't (and WOULDN'T) decide between her friends. She kicked it in a random direction. It was going…going…and it landed into some bushes.
"Sweetie bell!" The other two shouted in unison. Said unicorn gave a nervous smile and tried, "I'm a butterhoof?"
"Now how are we supposed to get it?" Demanded Scootaloo.
The other two ponies raised an eyebrow. "Walk into the bushes?" Suggested Applebloom.
"What?! Are you crazy?! We can't go in there! No pony has ever returned from there!" Scootaloo shouted.
"The bushes?" Applebloom asked.
Scootaloo rapidly nodded her head up and down.
"Yeah right," Scoffed Sweetie bell, "I'm goin' in there."
"No! Don't!"
But it was too late. Sweetie bell was already inside the bushes. The waiting was intense. Neither pony dared to breath.
"Found it!"
They both breathed a sigh of relief. "But…it's stuck." There was grunting heard as she tried to get it loose.
"Here, need some help?"
"AAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" A white blur flew out of the bushes and back towards her friends. "It's-it's-it's-" She stuttered, shaking with fear.
"What is it?!" Both Applebloom and Scootaloo shouted in unison.
The bushes suddenly began to shake violently and twigs snapped and cracked. The trio then saw what Sweetie bell was so afraid of.
Applebloom then breathed out, "It's the minotaur!"
The three stood there, frozen with fear, tense and waiting.
"Hi!" It spoke, "My name's-" That was all it took for them to bolt, screaming all the way.
"Hey, wait!" Electric Storm called after them, "Don't you want your ball back?!" After no reply, she shrugged. "Oh well."
Applejack, who had been there to watch the three fillies, came out to see what all the commotion was about. "What in tarnation is going on out here?!"
She stopped dead in her tracks when she saw the giant metal robot. "What in all of Equestria…?" She breathed. The Minotaur then spotted her. "Hi!" She greeted, waving her servo, "I'm Electric Storm!"
"What are ya doin' here?"
"Originally? I am here to protect all inhabitants of this planet without harmful intentions from the Decepticons or any other threats." She gave a salute. "As of right now? I'm here to find someone to play with."
Applejack raised an eyebrow as she asked. "And just how old are ya?"
"Exactly 12 ano-cycles. In your time…uh…" She seemed to blank out for a second before answering, "12 years old. Or is that only with humans? Oh well."
"Uh-huh…"
"Look, I know what you're thinking. Why would someone as old as me be looking for someone to play with? Because A. Prowl wouldn't do it, B. It is the only thing to do and C." She paused, "Well I guess I only have A. and B. And I doubt Prowl would let me cause any 'mischief'." She made air quotes on the last word.
"And what are ya tryin' to protect us from?"
There was a loud shooting noise followed by, "Deceptions, attack!"
Electric Storm's cheerful face deflated as she said, "Them."
Soon several lasers were being fired at them. "Hit the deck!" Electric Storm shouted, grabbing Applejack and diving into the bushes. A police car soon showed up and transformed, shooting at the invaders. "Electric Storm!" Prowl shouted over the blasts, "Round up all the ponies and get them to a safe place!"
"But I wanna fight!" She complained, "I never get to fight!"
"That doesn't matter now! Do as I say, that's an order!"
She growled some things under her breath but transformed, taking Applejack with her, and began driving through town, yelling, "All ponies follow me unless you want to die!" With a lot of ponies following her, she headed to an old abandoned safe house.
Inside the safe house…
There were frightened murmurs and muffled cries inside the cramped building.
"Mommy, I'm scared." One foal whispered to his mom.
"I know, Sugarplum, but don't worry. These giant minotaurs will help us." She directed a glare towards Electric Storm and muttered, "Or at least they should." Electric Storm glared back at her. She was in no mood to be sassed at by a pony whose life she just saved.
"Wait, what about the other ponies?" A voice spoke up.
"What other ponies?"
"The ponies in that big town hall meeting about the Autobots and what's-its-names."
"Decepticons."
"Yeah! That's it!"
Electric Storm faceservoed and sighed. "I need to get the other ponies. You guys stay here until an Autobot comes by." With that being said, she made her way out of the safe house and transformed.
The battle was still raging on so she had to dodge a few stray shots. Luckily, the 'cons had yet to notice her. She swerved around all the debris and normal town property, finally arriving at the town hall. She drove straight through the doors and transformed skidding to a stop. All the ponies in the room gasped. "What is the meaning of this?!" Demanded the mayor.
"The Decepticons are outside; we have to get to a safe place before-"
There was a loud shooting sound and the roof blew off, revealing the battle. "Nuts and bolts." Electric Storm muttered before transforming and opening her doors. "Get inside! No time to waste!" When they all were inside, Electric Storm put the pedal to the metal.
*BLAM BLAM!*
"Nuts and bolts!" Electric Storm shouted, swerving to avoid the shots.
"What's wrong?!" Asked the mayor, holding on to all she had.
Adjusting her side view mirror, she was able to see Thundercracker, Skywarp, and Starscream right on her tail.
"Hold on folks!" She declared, pulling a hard 360 and going in a different direction, "We're in a car/jet chase!"
