Little problems

Chapter 28

"Lord Megatron." Soundwave called on the comm.

"It had better be good news Soundwave." Megatron demanded, still annoyed with the seekers over losing that Mini-con.

"Astrotrain and Blast-Off have arrived with more troops, including the Combaticons, Stunticons, and Constructicons."

"Excellent, have them meet me here in two groons, we must discuss our battle plan."

"As you command Megatron."

Autobot Base…

Twilight continued to make her way through the base, hoping to find an unengaged Autobot. She soon encountered, not an Autobot, but one of her friends. "Pinkie pie?"

"Hiya Twilight!" The pink earth pony greeted cheerfully.

"What are you doing here?" Twilight asked, thinking that Pinkie would have been planning the Autobot's party at the Cake's.

"I was wondering what kinda cake the Autobots would like for their 'Welcome to Ponyville' party. So far I've gotten thirteen votes for oil, and fifteen votes for energon." Well, Twilight was half-right.

"Pinkie, do you even know what any of that stuff is?"

"Well sure I do! This guy we met in Ponyville called Beachcomber showed me all that stuff, I wanted to try the oil 'cuz it looked like some kind of new chocolate but he said it wasn't good for organics." The energetic earth pony stopped. "What's an organic?"

"A living thing."

"Oh! But, aren't they living?"

"Well, uh…" Twilight had to think about that one.

"So why isn't it bad for them?"

"Excuse me," The two ponies whirled around and saw a friendly looking red Autobot with a large tube on his shoulder, "If I may, we are not considered organic because we do not need to breathe nor do we need the necessary radiation from stars that some organics need. We do however consume energon and oil to replenish our energy."

"Oh! Ok, thanks for explaining that, Mister." Pinkie pie then began to merrily bounce on her way when she stopped. "Ooh! By the way, what kind of cake do you want?"

The red Autobot raised an optical ridge. "Cake?"

Pinkie pie's mouth dropped all the way to the ground (literally). "You don't know what cake is?!"

"Oh, yes I do, but I'm not sure Autobots are equipped to consume cake."

"But you've gotta have cake! If I couldn't have cake I'd- I'd-" Then without warning the pink earth pony collapsed on the ground. "Pinkie?" Twilight rushed to her friend with the red Autobot not far behind. The Autobot put his servo on the pony's chest, then two fingers on her neck. "She doesn't have a heart beat or a pulse."

"You mean she's…?" Twilight stared at her friend, could she really be dead? How could this have happened? Why-

The pink earth pony jumped up and shouted, "-just die!" The Autobot fell backwards at the surprise of Pinkie suddenly coming back to life. Twilight wrapped Pinkie in a large hug and exclaimed. "Pinkie pie! I'm so glad you're alive!"

"Well of course I'm alive," Pinkie then took a deep breath, and blew out, "See, 100% alive."

Before anyone could question the randomness of Pinkie pie, Electric Storm ran in, screaming, with a little Cybertronian coming after her. And by the looks of it, he wasn't too happy with the femme.

"Aww!" Pinkie pie cooed, "You got a baby! Congratulations!" Said new baby owner, stopped mid-run, "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. That is a mad-terrorizing-Mini-con-out-for-my-energon-" The Mini-con took advantage of his victim's distractedness and brutally tackled her to the ground, her shrieking the whole way down.

As the little guy beat her up, she desperately yelled, "I'M SORRY, POWERCORE! I'M SORRY I CALLED YOU A MIDGET AND I'M SORRY FOR CALLING YOU USELESS! JUST PLEASE, PLEASE DON'T KILL ME!" Powercore accepted the femme's apology and got off her. While she got up though, he did give her a hard kick on the leg on his way out.

Staring at the Mini-con, Electric Storm stated, "That dude, is really scary." Jazz and Prowl then decided to make an appearance. Prowl went over to Electric Storm while Jazz hung back with the others. "Have you told her yet that the Mini-con, Powercore is to become her powerlynxing ally?" The red Autobot asked. Jazz grinned.

"Not yet, Perceptor. But expect a reaction in three…two…one…"

"WHAT?! AAAAAAUUUUUUGGGGGHHHHHH!"
