Lightning Seven: Flying Sparks

Lost.

The Mollusk bots have lost in a major battle with the Crushers in this cursed forest. Deep in an abandoned cave, was the badly injured Jaggor and his evil bots. He was never in so much pain; he had lost an arm and got stabbed in the abdomen. The rhino bot Rampage was doing his best to heal his wounded master.

Jaggor winced in pain yet again as his wiring in his arm was being tampered with. His arm had to be re-attached at once. Rampage was trying his hardest but Jaggor wouldn't ease up on him.

"Careful you idiot. You might destroy all the components in my arm socket!" Jagoor said.

"Sorry sir.......why were you easily beaten? You're our master, you can't fall so easily." Rampage said.

"How would you like to face Scalor and Bone Crunch at the same exact time?" Jaggor asked him.

"I wouldn't." Rampage admitted.

"That's what I thought. OW!!!" Jaggor yelled as Rampage began working on his abdomen areas, putting the wiring and circuitry back in.

Jaggor was beginning to feel dizzy and his right optic was going dark. He was never in so much pain before, usually his over shields would begin repairing him but something wasn’t right here. Obliterator came to his side. He looked over to see the hippo bot smirking.

"What are you smiling about, Obliterator?!" Jaggor asked.

"You're dying Jaggor, and when you do, I will be the new leader of MOLLUSK." Obliterator calmly said knowing Jaggor can't do anything to him in this state.

"You will never be the leader of MOLLUSK! I shall not die!" Jaggor yelled but moaned in agony as his circuits were being torn out in place of new ones.

"Are you sure about that oh mighty leader?" Slicor asked smiling insanely.

Jaggor didn't know what to think. As the horrible surgery kept on going, he soon heard footsteps coming inside the cave. "Who....is...that?" Megatron could barely talk.

"It's.....It's..." Pin-sar said as he pointed his claw at the unknown person. Jaggor couldn't see who it was.

"Hello fellow bots, I bring you no harm, but I do bring you information involving our mighty and powerful master."

That voice, Jaggor recognized it immediately. Blade Wing.

"Show yourself....coward." Jaggor stuttered.

The rest of the bots raised their weapons and prepared to fire but Blade Wing put up both wings. "I have information on how to heal Jaggor you fools; you would be wise not to hurt me!" Blade Wing yelled.

"Lower your weapons bots." Jaggor wheezed. The army obeyed. Blade Wing smirked as he walked closer to the panther. Jaggor looked at him. "How can I be healed?" he asked.

"I will only tell you if you take the bounty off me." Blade Wing said.

"What bounty?!" Jaggor yelled.

"You wanted to kill me; you thought it was my fault that we got sent to this cursed planet, so I want you to simply say that I, Blade Wing, will have his rightful place as the sky commander of the bots." Blade Wing explained.

Jaggor thought about this for a moment and looked at his torn apart insides. "Okay Blade Wing, you are part of the Decepticon ranks yet again." he scowled.

Blade Wing chuckled and got closer to Jaggor. He began, "Simple surgery cannot save you Jaggor, and instead I have found a new powerful artifact that has the power to do just that."

"Powerful....artifact?" Jaggor repeated Blade Wing’s words.

"Artifacts to be precise," Blade Wing corrected himself, "they are called The Elements of Harmony, and they’re extremely powerful and located in the capitol of this world."

"What is this world called.....Blade Wing?" Jaggor asked.

"It is called Equestria." Blade Wing answered.

"I see..." Bass Buster began. The bots looked at the communications officer. "Equestria, as in equine, which is another expression for horse or pony." he explained.

Jaggor looked at Blade Wing again. "Blade Wing...." Jaggor wheezed. Blade Wing looked at his fallen master. "To prove yourself worthy to me again, you must collect these Elements of Harmony and bring them to me." Jaggor told him.

Blade Wing bowed and said, "I will not fail you, my lord!"

"Take as many bots as you please......do NOT fail me Blade Wing!" Jaggor threatened and laid back down.

Blade Wing looked at the massive group of bots and pointed out the ones he wanted to take. "Overseer, Junk Heap, Cutting Shooter, Pin-sar, Rampage, and Bass Buster, you are all to come with me, I will be your commander!" Blade Wing said.

"Oh great…" Cutting Shooter groaned.

"Get going Blade Wing! I don't have much time!" Jaggor threatened.

"Time is of the essence, we wouldn't want our leader to die now would we?" Blade Wing smirked.

"I hate your jokes so much Blade Wing, now go!!!" Jaggor roared and lay back down.

Blade Wing, and the other bots and marched out of the cave. As Blade Wing left, Jaggor laid his head back down and remembered how much he hated Blade Wing.

The painful memories returned.

Megatron was in his prime, he was so strong and so powerful, and no Autobot or Decepticon could stand in his way of total victory of Cybertron. But this day was extra special.

As Jaggor stood at his control post, he waited patiently for Blade Wing to return with his special prize. Jaggor stared out the window of his throne room with several MOLLUSK soldiers behind him. All of a sudden, a loud roar of cheers filled his hearing processors.

Jaggor turned around to see Blade Wing walking right for him, laughing at what he had captured. The MOLLUSK soldiers were cheering and clapping from Blade Wing’s prize.

“HAHAHA!!!” Blade Winglaughed and stopped in front of Jaggor. “Jaggor, look what I found.”

Talon squawked from Bass Buster’s shoulder as Pinsar and Cutting Shooter pushed down the body of the Crushers leader at Jaggor's feet. He turned around and smiled deviously.

“Scalor Bara-codon. That is what they call you now isn’t it?” Jaggor asked.

“Lord Jaggor…” Scalor spat out as he pushed to the ground by the two MOLLUSK combaters.

Blade Wing smirked at his master and said, “Funny, isn’t it, Jaggor? How easily I defeated the one adversary you couldn’t.”

“Silence..!” Jaggor shouted and swatted Blade Wing with his claw which sent him crashing to the ground behind Scalor.

“It didn’t have to come to this…” Scalor said as Jaggor approached.

Jaggor gloated as he approached, “This is what you chose, fish, when you defied me! All of this is your doing!”

Two Crushers soldiers were being held captive and watched in horror as Jaggor was about to finish off their leader. “Scalor!” A soldier shouted before Jaggor slashed him, killing him instantly.

Scalor saw as his brethren being killed viciously. “Jaggor, stop!” Scalor shouted.

Jaggor turned back to him and said, “I’ll stop…when all of you are dead!” Jaggor finished off the last captive Crusher with one slash.

“This is needless; all we want is to leave!” Scalor shouted until Jaggor smacked him with the back of his right hand, silencing him.

Jaggor turned back towards his control post and walked calmly back. He looked at a group of soldiers and said, “Charge up the laser Cannon. Wipe their precious Ranger off the face of this rock!”

“Yes sir!” A bot soldier said and began the Cannon on one of the computers.

Jaggor turned back to Scalor and shouted, “No one leaves without my permission!”

Scalor stood back up and glared at his hated rival, “I wasn’t asking.”

Jaggor scowled at how resilient Scalor was to him.

“Always defiant to the end aren’t you, fish! At every turn you have thwarted my efforts to save this planet! To return it to its former glory!”

Jaggor didn’t even notice the large being of ice lumbering behind him. “No more! This day it all ends! Once and for all!” he finished as his command post suddenly began to shake.

“Jaggor, look out!” Bass Buster shouted and ran away.

Ultimos ripped the roof off of Jaggor’s command post and looked down at Scalor. Jaggor shot several blasts from his plasma cannon at the mighty ice beast but it did little damage.

“Stop running you cowards! Stand and fight like men!”Jaggor shouted at his retreating robot soldiers and continued to fire.

Ultimos lifted up his massive club and brought it down on Jaggor, crushing him! Scalor watched in awe as Ultimos crushed Jaggor again and again.

Jaggor lifted up his cannon and fired one more shot before meeting Ultimos’s fist.

The MOLLUSK leader lay in the ruins of the command post and barely looked up to see Ultimos crush him again.

And what a surprise….Metroplex crushed him one more time.

The MOLLUSK command post was decimated. As Ultimos slowly raised his fist, Blade Wing, Bass Buster, Pin-sar, and Cutting Shooter walked forward to see Optimus glaring at them.

“Leave. NOW.” Scalor threatened.

Blade Wing glared at Scalor but suddenly looked down to see Jaggor’s destroyed paw sticking out of the tattered ground. Blade Wing looked back up at the mighty Ultimos. Blade Wing did the math.

“Bots, Jaggor has perished, betrayed by his foolish pride.” Blade Wing said.

The bots stared at Blade Wing as he continued.

“I, Blade Wing, am your leader now!” Blade Wing took one last look at Scalor who glared right back. “Men, return to base!”

With that, Blade Wing flew away, while Bass Buster stayed where he was. He couldn’t believe it, his master….was gone. With one final look, Bass Buster turned away and retreated. Little did Blade Wing know…..that Jaggor had listened to every word he had said.

Jaggor wheezed in pain after reliving those horrid moments of tragedy. Yes, he hated Blade Wing with all that he was, but now….he was his only hope of survival.

The large group of Autobots, ponies, dragon, and Royal Guard had passed Ponyville without being noticed.

It was still night, but the moon was getting lower, it was to be day very soon. Rarity was lagging behind; she didn't get any sleep at all. Applejack shook her head to keep herself awake, Rainbow yawned constantly, Fluttershy was already asleep and Dice carried her on his back, it was quite adorable and he couldn't help but smile. Pinkie wasn't tired at all, and hopped the entire way.

The Cutie Mark Crusaders were sent to their homes right when they got to Ponyville. Hopefully, they will have learned their lesson. The walk to Canterlot was very quiet; all except Pinkie who kept asking the Jumpstart to transform and take her for a ride. He tried their best to ignore her. Twilight looked over at Scalor again and saw that he was limping.

"Oh no, Scalor, are you okay?!" Twilight asked.

Scalor touched his leg and saw that it was static with circuitry coming out along with oil. He groaned in pain. "I'll be fine for now, just got to.....ignore it." he said.

"No you're injured; we'll get you help right away when we get to Canterlot." Twilight finished with a smile. Scalor felt happier now that this pony cared so much about him and his team.

Shining Armor awoke on the back of Applejack. He shook his head to regain his senses.

"Oh my aching back." Shining began.

"OH Shiny you're awake!" Twilight walked by him and nuzzled her brother.

"What happened?" Shining asked.

"You got attacked by a MOLLUSK bot, but Scalor saved your life." Twilight said and smiled at the fish cyborg.

Shining looked up at Scalor, he nodded and continued to walk. "Oh, thank you Scalor, I owe you my life." Shining told him.

"You don't owe me anything, the bots attacked you, and it was my sworn duty to protect every living thing from their wrath." Scalor explained.

"Wow." Twilight felt even more respect for Scalor than before.

Dice back at the sleeping pony on his back; Fluttershy's silent breaths were barely heard as her tiny chest went up and down. He felt warm inside, how this pony could make Dicee's worn-torn soul warm up, he didn't know.

The rest of the walk was quiet, after a few hours, the sun came up and the Crushers, ponies, dragon, and Royal Guard had arrived at Canterlot. Shining Armor got off of Applejack's back and walked by himself slightly limping.

The front gates were closed; two Royal Guard stepped up and saw the massive giants in front of them. They panicked but suddenly saw Shining Armor putting his hoof up. "It is alright Guards! They're friendly; we're here to see Princess Celestia, royal business." Shining Armor explained.

The Guards backed up in fear and opened the gates. The Crushers walked past them and some waved to the Guards. The walk through Canterlot was just what the Mane 6 had expected; fear. All the up-tight ponies were terrified as the Crushers calmly walked through the city. Scalor paid them no heed and continued to lead the Autobots; of course the ponies led the way.

After a few minutes of walking, they had arrived to the royal grounds. Shining Armor waved at his Royal Guards to go away, they did and soon it was just the Mane 6, Spike, Shining Armor, and the Crushers.

Shining gulped and walked in Celestia’s throne room first. The group shuffled nervously, not knowing what to expect. Twilight saw this and acted quickly. "Don't worry guys, the Princess is very nice and very fair, she will understand you're not a threat to this world." Twilight said smiling.

"Yeah, you saved our lives after all!" Rainbow Dash said.

"And saved mah sister." Applejack smiled.

"Oh yes, you are all very nice, the Princess will just love you!" Rarity gushed.

"Yeah…" Fluttershy quietly agreed and yawned from just awakening.

"Celestia is the nicest Princess ever! You guys will be just fine!" Pinkie Pie told them.

Just then, the doors busted open and hundreds of Royal Guard spilled out with spears raised. They circled the Crushers and pointed the spears at them. "Hooves up where we can see them!" A Royal Guard shouted.

"Hooves?" Outlook whispered to Hawk Eye. He shrugged not knowing what it was either.

Scalor quickly thought that hooves must mean hands in this world. So Scalor raised his fins in the air making him not a threat. The Crushers saw their leader do this and did the exact same thing. All of them had the hands in the air except for Razor who laid on the ground unconscious.

Similar to Razor, but with a stubborn attitude, Bone Crunch and the Primals didn’t raise their hands as well.

"You will never make me raise my hands, organics!" Bone Crunch shouted. The Guards backed up but continued to hold their spears.

"Yes, yes! No!!! I agree!!!" Lighting Scale said glaring at the Guards.

Scalor turned to the Primals, "Bone Crunch, you and your team put your hands in the air now! We can't be seen as a threat to this world!" he ordered.

The Primals groaned and slowly raised their hands. The six mares were very stunned to see the Royal Guard acting this way. Celestia wouldn't do this to innocent creatures, what did Shining Armor tell her?

Ironhide chuckled and leaned down to Twilight a little, he said, "Hehe, Celestia obviously thinks we are not a threat to this world."

Twilight didn't say anything and moved where the Royal Guard wanted her and her friends to go, behind the Crushers as they were forced inside the royal room of Celestia. Snaggletooth picked up Razor this time and followed the rest of the team.

As the Crushers were being forced to walk down the long hallway with hands in the air, Jumpstart nudged Scalor and said, "What do we do, buddy?"

Scalor answered not even looking at him. "We will wait and see, old friend."
