Transformers: New Beginnings

Chapter 2

A yellow pegasus gazed out of the train's window, it was very dark and dreary; the country side rolled by at a smooth but quick pace. He glanced down next to him, there, a young dark blue unicorn lay sleeping, his son. The pegasus' name was Noonblaze, he was bright yellow, had a brown mane, and spoke with what we would know as a British accent. He was a young doctor, in his early thirties, had bright yellow eyes, and his cutie mark was a pair of stethoscopes. His son, Nightwatch, was a dark blue unicorn, with a black mane and a few silver hairs which made his mane look like part of the night sky. He was young, only six, and hadn't gotten his cutie mark, unlike his dad he did not have a British accent.

After his wife's death, Noonblaze figured that it was time to move to smaller, less chaotic town, namely Ponyville. He heard they needed a talented doctor, who knew how to deliver foals, and Noonblaze fit that description perfectly, he had even delivered quintuplets. Noonblaze yawned, he hadn't realized how late it was, and he then rested his head against the window and gently drifted off to sleep…

When he awoke it was just as dark as before, maybe a bit brighter, but not by much. He turned to see how Nightwatch was doing and saw him cuddling up with his blanket, a fearful look on his face. Noonblaze asked him. "Son, is something wrong?" The little unicorn walked over to where the window was and pointed at something in the sky. Noonblaze looked out and saw a large bird, a really large bird, and it was justsoaring in the air, it never flapped its wings once, not to mention how weird it looked. Noonblaze just continued to stare at it. Suddenly it turned towards them, growing larger and larger. It began to charge at them!

Meanwhile in the Everfree forest…

"I'm telling you. If this doesn't get our Cutie Marks, nothing will!" A small orange pegasus filly told her two friends enthusiastically. Her two friends, a white unicorn filly, named Sweetie Bell, and a yellow earth filly with a southern accent, named Applebloom, weren't quite as sure. "I don't know Scootaloo, are you sure it's safe?" The unicorn asked, they were all standing at the mouth of a large cave.

"Sure I'm sure; c'mon, we'll be just like Daring Do."

"Hey!" A male voice called out.

"Aghhh!" The three fillies screamed at the stranger's voice, suddenly two large minotaur-like creatures emerged; they both looked almost the same, except one was blue, while the other was black with purple highlights. The purple one snickered. "Well, well, what do we have here Thundercracker? Looks like a few bugs have lost their way." The purple one burst into laughter, laughter that made the Cutie Mark Crusaders uneasy. The blue one answered his cackling friend. "These are the inhabitants, they call themselves ponies. I've been hoping some might lose their way and come here, I've been bored."

"Thundercracker, you never told me you wanted a pet." The purple one replied.

"Not as a pet, I've just wanted to see what makes them tick." Thundercracker said with a sneer. At that the three ponies dashed off into the forest before the two "things" knew what happened, when they had realized it they transformed and flew after them.
