Lightning Seven: Flying Sparks

Twilight had suddenly remembered what Scalor showed her friends and her, that strange light show that had a picture of a powerful being; it was Jaggor, the leader of the MOLLUSK bots. This was Scalors' greatest foe? He didn't seem so dangerous.

"Hello, Fish." Jaggor smirked and walked closer. Scalor got in front of the ponies and put his hand up.

"Not now Jaggor, there are innocents here!" Optimus yelled.

Jaggor laughed and the ponies got a little frightened, it was a dark and evil laugh that caused the ponies to shiver. "There were innocents on Terra-glacies, that never seemed to stop you." he smiled evilly.

Scalor clenched his fins and glared at his nemesis. All the ponies stayed behind him and looked from behind his massive legs, but of course, Pinkie's curiosity got the best of her.

Pinkie dashed forward and looked up at Jaggor, smiling from ear to ear.

"Pinkie Pie, no!" Scalor yelled but it was far too late.

"Hi, I'm Pinkie Pie, so you know Scalor? That's so cool! So what are you here to do? Be friends with us? Party with us? Eat us? Jaggor sounds like a cool name, don’t you think? Pinkie Pie is a cool name too but Jaggor just sounds so STRONG! You kinda remind me of some song my pal Lyra danced to once." Pinkie said and flexed out her arm to show how strong she was, which she wasn’t.

Jaggor looked at her disgusted and lowered his cannon at her. "Get away you little germ!" Jaggor yelled and fired his hook shot claw.

The ponies, Spike, and Royal Guard gasped. Pinkie's eyes got bigger as the claw went straight for her. Luckily, Dice grabbed her and got out of the way as the claw broke the ground where Pinkie was just a few seconds ago.

Pinkie stuck her head out of Dice's arms and said, "You big meanie!"

"I've had it with this world! I'm going to bring it to fiery hell! I will kill every living being on this planet and suck it dry of energy!" Jaggor yelled in anger but then looked back at the Crushers.

"But first, I'll finish all of you off." Jaggor threatened and raised his hand forward.

"MOLLUSK bots, attack!!!"

The forest erupted with many metallic beings they fired blasts from guns at the Crushers who fired back. The ponies, Spike, and Royal Guard were too frightened and confused to know what to do. Many flying beings came from the skies and shot at the Mane 6, they closed their eyes not expecting what to happen.

Fluttershy opened her eyes to see Scalor in front of them with a smoking chest, he had just been shot! He looked back at them and picked them up in his arms. The Mane six, Cutie Mark Crusaders, and Spike were placed on the outside of the battlefield. "You'll be safe here." he told them.

Twilight looked frantically and screamed, "Where’s Shining Armor?!"

Scalor looked back and saw Shining Armor shooting strange beams from his horn at the bot Pin-sar, who merely laughed and swatted him aside with his spiked side of his claw. Twilight screamed again.

Scalor charged in and punched Pin-sar in his face plate, sending him crashing to the ground. He picked up the unconscious Shining Armor and placed him with the rest of the ponies. Twilight nudged him with her nose and Shining didn't move. Twilight was getting worried.

"He's okay, just unconscious." Scalor assured her and got back up. To the ponies amazement, Scalors' right fin transformed into a shining gray barrel. He cocked it and looked back at the ponies. "Stay here." He told them, the ponies got the message, don't try and be heroes.

Scalor charged forward and shot blasts from his path blaster at the bots who fired back. Jaggor saw Scalor coming for him and brought his hand towards a group of bots.

"Men, activate Destructus!" Jaggor ordered. The ponies were even more amazed when they saw a towering colossus turn on. He had to be at least 90 feet tall! He trudged through the battlefield and shot at the Crushers who tried to block the massive blasts.

When this mighty MOLLUSK bot named Destructus was getting close to Scalor, the unthinkable happened…

….a giant roar was heard coming from the forest.
________________________________________
-5 minutes earlier-

Bone Crunch, Munch-Munch, Lighting Scale, and Buzzer, were pacing themselves through this never ending forest, all except Buzzer who was flying above them, locating the Crushers. Bone Crunch was just relieved to be reunited with his Primal brothers.

"This is taking too long; I want to fight some MOLLUSK-goons!" Lighting complained as he was assisting the injured Munch-Munch.

"We will not fight until we found the others, than we find bots who we can crush." Bone Crunch explained.

Lighting grumbled and looked up at Buzzer, "What is taking so long, Buzzer?!" Lighting yelled.

“I can't find the guys. My locator is actin’ weird." Buzzer said. Bone Crunch and Lighting grumbled in anger, except Munch who winced in pain again and held his injured side. After another few minutes, Buzzer heard the sound of gun fire.

"I here gun fire! YES, Bots and Crushers are fighting not too far away!" Buzzer cheered and dashed forward.

"Yes! I finally get to fight!" Lighting Scale yelled and dropped Munch-Munch. Lighting Scale ran forward, only to be stopped by Bone Crunch.

"No, I'll go in first and then you follow!" Bone Crunch said.

"NO!!! I want to fight now!!!" Lighting Scale yelled.

"I am your leader, you do what I say!!!" Bone Crunch said and moved his face in closer. Lighting Scale backed up in fear.

"Okay Bone Crunch, but I shall assist when I want to." Lighting Scale said and picked up Munch again.

Bone Crunch looked up and yelled, "Buzzer, get back here!!!"

On cue, he landed. He looked at Bone Crunch with anticipation. Bone Crunch stepped forward in front of the Primals and transformed into his fighting robot form. Bone Crunch's head looked back and said, "I will go first, you follow."

Lighting Scale and Buzzer nodded. Munch-Munch just put his head down in disappointment, knowing that he can’t be much of help. Bone Crunch reared his head back and shouted as loud as he could. He then suddenly charged towards the sound of fighting.

The ponies and Spike looked at a side of the forest and saw Bone Crunch break through the trees and charge at Bruticus.

Twilight beamed and said, "Bone Crunch is back!"

"Is that a good thing?!" Scootaloo screamed.

"You'll see!" Rainbow Dash said and stared forward at Bone Crunch charging Destructus.

Destructus looked down and saw the mighty Dino heading right for him! Bone Crunch brought his hands forward and bit down on Destructus' leg. Destructus shook him off and punched Bone Crunch in the face. Jumpstart fought through the battle and somehow, got behind Destructus. Jumpstart used his grappling hook and launched himself to his back. When he climbed all the way up to Destructus’ head, he shot him several times with his gun.

Destructus shook his head trying to get Jazz off; until the ponies noticed two other Crushers come from the forest too! The first one electrified itself, it was a four-legged beast with horns on its head, it charged at Destructus with sparks coming from its mouth. The second one, the ponies recognized, it was the one that saved them. This one flew straight towards Destructus.

The first one rammed its head into Destructus' leg; he fell to one knee as Bone Crunch punched him all over his chest. The second one flew up above and shot blasts at Destructus' back.

Destructus had enough and swatted Buzzer out of the sky, he crashed on the ground with a loud screech. Destructus got back up lifted up Bone Crunch and threw him against Lighting. Scalor saw this and acted quickly.

Fluttershy covered her eyes and said, "I can't watch!"

Applejack nudged her and said, "Look!"

Fluttershy opened her eyes and saw a shark come out of the forest where the other ones did. This one struggled to turn primal but eventually did and it was now a giant spiked monster. This Primal swung its fin and knocked Destructus on the ground.

Jaggor was getting frustrated after his greatest fighters were being defeated. He then saw something that made his circuitry freeze.

Scalor was charging right for him.

Jaggor shook away the fear and charged as well. Two Crushers tried to attack Jaggor but the mighty panther cyborg brought out his sharp claws and smacked the Crushers Warhead and Hawk Eye with his claws. They landed on the ground in pain.

Jaggor aimed a rocket launcher and shot twice at Scalor. He hit both shots perfectly on Scalors' chest but he kept moving forward! Jaggor looked up and saw Overseer heading for Scalor.

Overseer shot at Scalor with his neutron rifle. He soon brought out a sword, and sliced at Scalor. He blocked the sword and hit Overseer with his true shot pistol. Overseer sliced again but Scalor was too quick and shot him in the eye. He was soon out of the battle.

Scalor brought his gun back up but Jaggor kicked him in the chest. Scalor fell to one knee as Jaggor stood above him. Scalor looked up to see the face of his old enemy.

"I've waited years for this, fish, time to meet your maker." Jaggor said and raised his paw.

"NO!" Twilight shouted but immediately covered her mouth.

Jaggor looked over and saw the ponies hiding in the bushes. "Awww, so these are the species of this planet." he said as he began walking towards the ponies. Scalor grabbed his foot and Jaggor looked down.

"Please old friend, don't harm them!" Scalor pleaded.

"Friend?!" Rainbow shouted with as much confusion as all the other ponies were feeling.

Jaggor raised his paw and shouted, "You don't tell me what to do!"

Jaggor finished with smashing his mace against Scalor's face. He fell back, unconscious. Jaggor continued to move forward. He glared down at the ponies when he was close enough. "You, Bass Buster lost to you?!" Jaggor yelled, "That is just pathetic!!!"

Applejack gulped and said, "You...you stay back ya here!"

Megatron glared at her and roared, "YOU CAN'T CONTROL ME!!! BASS BUSTER MAY HAVE LOST TO YOU, BUT I WON'T!!!!"

The ponies were terrified now and got close to each other. Even Rainbow thought that this guy was more terrifying than Bone Crunch.

Megatron activated his hook shot claw at the ponies as it changed the claw to a spiked ball.

"Oh no... Not again." Pinkie whimpered.

As Jaggor was about to fire, he heard a loud roar and turned to see a giant robot charging at him!

Bone Crunch grabbed Jaggor's right arm and lifted him up. Jaggor struggled to get free, and eventually freed himself by punching Bone Crunch in the eye. Bone Crunch released him and shook his head to regain his focus; Jaggor shot more blasts at Bone Crunch who couldn't block them due to Jaggor's cat relfexes.

Jaggor jumped on Bone Crunch's back and slashed him several times in the head. Bone Crunch was faltering and fell on the ground. Jaggor got up and put his foot on the side of Bone Crunch's face.

"I have defeated the mighty Bone-AHHH" Jaggor said as he was tackled by Scalor.

Scalor gave Jaggor the beating of a lifetime. He punched his face several times while Jaggor tried to block. Jaggor caught one punch and pushed Scalor off of him. Jaggor aimed his paw at Scalor and shot him in the leg. Scalor screamed in pain and clutched his now destroyed leg.

"I should have killed you on Terra-glacies!" Jaggor yelled and picked up his mace.

Jaggor lifted up his arm with his claw was about to bring it down on Scalor....

....only to have his left arm ripped off.

Jaggor, in utter horror, grabbed where his left arm used to be. He looked back to see Bone Crunch holding his arm in his mighty arms. Jaggor lifted up his right arm and aimed his cannon at Bone Crunch ....

....but got the surprise of his life when Bone Crunch's spear impaled his stomach.

Jaggor coughed up oil and fell on his knees. He screamed in pain when Bone Crunch pulled his spear out along with several pieces of fur and circuitry. Jaggor fell to his knees and clutched his wound with his only remaining arm. The ponies and Spike have never seen such carnage before; these Crushers and MOLLUSK bots had quite a history of rivalry. But before they could think of anything else, they looked over to see Scalor limping towards Jaggor.

Jaggor looked up at Scalor who kept a simple glare.

"So Scalor.....are you going to finish this?" Jaggor said coughing up more oil. Scalor glared down and aimed his pistol at Jaggor's head.

Jaggor smirked and said, "So you choose to end this by killing me huh? Maybe you're not as weak as I thought."

Scalor waited a few seconds and put his gun down. Jaggor was surprised. "If I kill you, it wouldn't make me any better than that of what you have become." Scalor said.

Jaggor was stunned, after everything he did to him, Scalor still wouldn't kill him.

Scalor grabbed Jaggor's throat and said, "But one day….keep this in mind…..one will stand......one will fall."

Scalor was interrupted by a laser hitting his shoulder. Bone Crunch dropped the arm and looked up to see several
MOLLUSK bots flying by and shooting at them. Scalor fell back and saw as stood by their hurt master.

Megatron groaned in pain and fell on his back; as the walking junkyard Trash Heap smirked at how much pain Megatron was in.

"How do you feel, oh mighty leader?" Trash Heap joked and kicked Jaggor in the side. Jaggor groaned even more but didn't move. He urned towards the rest of the bots and said, "Let's get out of here! The Crushers are overwhelming us!" All the bots that were surrounding Jaggor flew off. He looked up to see Bass Buster staring at him blankly.

"Bass Buster.....don't leave me." Jaggor actually begged!

Bass Buster went down and him picked up, "As you command, my lord."

Bass Buster walked off with his master, Bass Booster was following behind him carrying Jaggor's severed arm. Scalor looked as the bots were retreating, either flying or running away into the forest.

All was quiet yet again.

Scalor sighed with relief and got up. He walked by the ponies and motioned them to come out.

The ponies didn't move as they were frozen in fear. Scalor went closer to them and said, "It is alright, we are here, they are gone." he held out his hand and the ponies slowly emerged, as well as Spike and Applejack carrying the unconscious Shining Armor.

Scalor walked to where his fellow Crushers were. They were in serious pain and could barely move from the massive onslaught. Optimus went closer to his team.

"Are all the Crushers okay?" Scalor asked.

Circiut Breaker came up and said, "The team is fine, all except Razor, she got shot up pretty bad."

"Awww, Razor." Scalor looked down at his friend who was getting medical treatment from Precision and Hawk Eye. Scalor went down and held Razor's wing. Twilight was very surprised, not only was this Razor chick Scalor's teammate, he was like family to him.

"Scalor....is-is that you?" Razor could barely talk.

"It is I friend, you don't have to worry anymore, the bots are gone." Scalor assured him.

Razor winced in pain and said, "I'm....I'm dying Scalor."

"No, you will live old friend; we will never let you die in this accursed forest." Scalor told him and held his hand harder. Fluttershy couldn't help it and started crying. Rainbow tried her hardest to fight back tears.

Razor coughed and closed her eyes, "NO!" Scalor yelled and shook him. Hawk Eye pushed him off.

"It's okay buddy, she didn't die she's just tired." Wheeljack told him. Optimus sighed with relief. Twilight nudged Scalors' leg which caused him to kneel down to her eye level looked.

"Scalor...we can take you and your team to Canterlot, your friend Razor can get medical attention." Twilight told him feeling very sorry about what just happened. It was the least they could do for these brave aliens.

"Thank you, Twilight Sparkle." Scalor said and stood up. "Men, let's roll." Scalor said and looked at the ponies, "You lead the way."

Twilight nodded and walked forward, her friends followed with Applejack carrying Shining Armor the whole way. Spike and the Cutie Mark Crusaders stayed close this time. The Royal Guard walked with the Crushers or flew by them. Twilight walked past some trees and Scalor had saw the natural beauty of the plants around them since beautiful flora was rare on Terra-glacies. Rainbow Dash suddenly saw someone behind her as they were walking through the forest.

Bone Crunch, in his dino mode, was with his primal brothers. They followed behind the pack of Crushers not really wanting to talk right now. Rainbow flew up to Bone Crunch's face and flew beside him as they walked.

"Oh..... You again." Bone Crunch said with a hint of boredom in his voice.

Rainbow smiled softly and said, "Hey, I just want to say thank you, for saving us twice I mean. And even after I attacked you."

Bone Crunch suddenly remembered his past with this pony; he sighed and looked at her, "You're welcome, what is your name?" he asked.

"I'm Rainbow Dash!" Rainbow beamed and touched her chest.

"Nice to meet you." Bone Crunch told her. Normally he wouldn’t pay any heed to these ponies but this rainbow one in particular had definitely gained his respect, especially after trying to pick a fight with a primal, which was insane, but brave of her. Bone Crunch touched his chest and said, "I am Bone Crunch."

"Yeah, I figured that." Rainbow said.

Bone Crunch pointed to his team, "That is Lighting Scale, he is Munch-Munch, and that is Buzzer.

"Wow, a lot of spaces in your names huh?" Rainbow asked.

Twilight walked by Scalor. She felt safer next to him, his heroism, his bravery, and his friendship of his teammates proved to her that Scalor was truly a great leader. Twilight felt respect for him; he risked his life to rescue her brother. This confused Twilight, how can giant aliens be so powerful, yet so gentle?

Twilight had many more questions to ask when they got to Canterlot.
