Jaggor's return

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Bass BustJaggor wasn't holding up well.

He was in intense pain from his damaged insides. If Blade Wing didn't get there soon, he would be a goner. Obliterator on the other hand, wanted Blade Wing to be late. He had always wanted to be leader of the bots, but Jaggor was just too strong to die.

As the bots were sitting in the cave bored, Steam Punker was giving Jaggor some of his oil to keep his master alive. he cut his arm again and poured the liquid into Jaggor's open wound to keep him alive.

"I live to serve you lord Jaggor." Steam Punker muttered.

"Your loyalty shall be rewarded....someday." Jaggor wheezed.

As the bots continued to mope around, Slicor spotted something outside the cave. "Blade Wing and his brigade have arrived sir!" he shouted

Starscream, overseer, and the flyers, landed on the ground. They walked slowly inside the cave as Bass Buster, Pin-sar, and Rampage came as well. Blade Wing and his team walked inside the cave with Jaggor looking at him. "Did you bring it?" Jaggor stuttered a little.

"Yes, sir." Blade Wing said and pulled out the box. He placed it on the ground while the bots circled around it.
Jaggor got up but groaned in pain as he moved closer to the box. He slowly brought his finger down and lifted up the lid. Jaggor's big fingers couldn't get what was inside the box.

"Bass Buster, eject Blast, get the Elements out of the box." Jaggor said weakly.

Bass Buster ejected Blast from his chest; The hacker bot walked over and slowly got the Elements out and placed them on the ground in front of Jaggor. "How do these things work, Jaggor?" Blast asked.

"I don't know you little creep! Soundwave, how do these work?" Megatron asked.

Bass Buster explained fully, "The Elements of Harmony can't be used normally, although they are extremely powerful, they must be activated by the Element Bearers for them to work."

"The Element Bearers, who are they?" Blade wing asked.

"I don't have time to find them, or enough time to know who they are! I'm going to die if we don't use these Elements now!" Jaggor weakly yelled.

"But how do we activate them without these so called 'Element Bearers'?" Overseer asked.

Jaggor thought for a moment and suddenly looked up, he answered Overseer’s question with the simplest answer. "With Electrodes…"

The bots were stunned to hear that. Bass Buster spoke first, "Jaggor, using Electrodes on the Elements of Harmony could bring unknown chaos and disharmony to this world, the Elements of Harmony are what keep this world peaceful, we could be endangering ourselves."

"I do not care for this world; our safety is a sacrifice I will have to make!" Jaggor yelled and clutched his stomach again.

“But how do you know it will even work, like Bass Buster said, we need the Element Bearers for them to fully function.” Clam-borg asked.

Jaggor looked at Clam-borg and said, “Do you remember how Electrodes react to whatever it touches?”

“Uhhhhh…..yeah…” Clam-borg said.

“Well then, this is how it will happen, I use Electrodes on these six Elements and with the power of Electrodes fused with the power of these strange Elements, the combined power will do exactly as I say! Electrodes has always done what I said, and it will do what I say now!” Jaggor finished.

The bots were rubbing their heads in confusion. To prove Jaggor’s theory, he turned to Bass Buster and ordered, “Bass Buster, observe these Elements and prove that Electrodes can be inflicted, and the resulting substance will do as I command!”

Bass Buster walked forward and bent down to observe the Elements closer. After a few seconds, Bass Buster stood back up and announced, “Jaggor, the Elements of Harmony combined with the power of Electrodes will be enough to heal you. But at a price, the Elements of Harmony will be destroyed in the process.”

“I do not care if this entire world is destroyed in the process! I will be saved!” Jaggor roared. "Now stand back!" Jaggor said as his fist began to glow with raw, yellow energy.

Jaggor let loose a blast of Elecrodes straight at the ground where the Elements were. The Elements began to shake and change color when the energy penetrated them. When Jaggor was done he collapsed on the ground after he had just used the last of his strength. Jaggor looked up and saw as the Elements started to float above him.

The Elements were no longer the colors they were before; they were now yellow and glowed violently. The Elements continued to rise until they shot a blast together at Jaggor. He screamed in pain when the blast hit him. But his screams of pain turned to grunting.

Jaggor slowly rose as the long stream of yellow energy kept going into his chest. The bots were surprised to see Megatron's wounds healing up, his severed arm reattached and all the components did as well. Jaggor stood up and clenched his claws. "I am the dominator! I am the destroyer of worlds of ! I am LORD JAGGOR!!!!!" He screamed as the stream of energy stopped and the Elements fell to the ground, completely drained of their energy.

Jaggor looked more powerful than before, his red eye glowed brighter, his appearance was more dominating, and he looked as if he just came out of the production lines.

"Wow Jaggor, you look brand new." Overseer said.

"I feel so much stronger too." Jaggor said looking at his fist and clenching it over and over again.

Blade Wing coughed and said, "I believe you owe someone some gratitude."

Jaggor turned to him and said, "You did well, Blade Wing."

Blade Wing smirked only for Jaggor to curse under his breath. Bass Buster touched the Elements and analyzed them, he began, "Jaggor, scanners show that the Elements have been depleted of energy. What will we do with them?"

Jaggor thought for a moment and smiled deviously as an idea struck in his head. "Do we have radio contact?" Jaggor asked Bass Buster .

"Affirmative, who do you want to contact?" Bass Buster asked.

Jaggor looked at Bass Buster , still smiling. "An old friend of mine..." he said. Bass Buster transformed his arms into a radio set, ready to contact.

Jaggor began, "Send this message to.....Terra-glacies."

________________________________________

-Terra-glacies-

The mechanical head in a jar Tenta-box stood at where his precious Space Rifter was just hundreds of years ago.

Those horrible memories came rushing back into his mind. How Kooker had managed to meltdown the tower and escape his wrath. How his creation, that stupid Primal, destroyed his last remaining Space Rifter, and Jaggor leaving him on this horrid dead rock.

Still, he managed to win the war with the remaining bots and the last Crushers fled the planet, leaving the MOLLUSK scientist to rule Terra-glacies. Oh how Jaggor would be proud.

But Tenta-box couldn’t get over the thought that when Bone Crunch destroyed the controls…where did it send Jaggor? He hadn’t gotten word of his master since….maybe he was safe.

Bass Buster stared at the destroyed Space Rifter for a while longer until he heard a voice behind him. Tent-box turned around to see a rolling tin can minion “What is it, minion?” he asked.

The minion coughed and said, “Ummm…you’ve received a message from Jaggor.”

Tenta-box turned fully around and said, “Lord Jaggor?!”

“Yes, follow me.” the minion finished and walked away. Tenta-box followed him with anticipation.

Both bots came to Tenta-box’s personal command post. He couldn’t wait for what his master had to say. When the two bots came across his communications room, Tenta-box turned back to his minion and said, “Leave me, I must answer his call alone.”

“Understood…” The minion muttered and rolled out of the room.

Tenta-box turned back to his computer and began typing. The message came up abruptly and he observed it with his glowing red eye.

“Hmmmmm….a mission from Jaggor himself, wants me to act out a special mission for Jaggor. Let’s see…..” Tenta-box said to himself and began reading.

“I see….Tenta-box, go to the primitive world we have arrived on and bring several containers of Electrodes, for our ship is depleted of it. Follow these coordinates Tenta-box deciphered.” Tenta-box read the message out loud.

Tenta-box read the coordinates and tilted his head in confusion.

“Odd….that shouldn’t be there…” Tenta-box said and went to his star charts.

He remembered the coordinates and placed his tentacles where it should be…..

….there was nothing there.

“Why would Jaggor want me to go to an unknown sector?” Tenta-box asked no one in particular.

Tenta-box got back to full height and said, “I will go to edges of the galaxy to do Jaggor’s bidding! But first, I must repair the Space Rifter…”

Tenta-box went back outside and saw as his bot soldiers were just standing around. Tenta-box went up to them and said, “Bots, I have received a message, from lord Jaggor.”

Saying Jaggor’s name caught their attention, Tenta-box continued, “Jaggor wants me to send several quantities of Electrodes to his ship on the world he arrived on. But I will need the Space Rifter to be operational yet again, and I will need a ship to carry the Electrodes in.”

A bot soldier looked at Tenta-box and said, “Sooo….you want us tooooo…..”

“Rebuild the Space Rifter, yes.” Tenta-box finished.

The bots looked at each other and turned away. “Alright bots, you heard Tenta-box, all of you get going on the Space Rifter!” One bot yelled to the rest.

Tenta-box sighed and turned towards another group of bots.

“Prepare my ship for launch; fill it with a plentiful supply of Electrodes.” Tenta-box ordered. They saluted, and headed for Tenta-box’s ship.

Tenta-box knew this would take a very long time to prepare his ship and fix the Space Rifter, so he took the time to go to his star room and investigate this new world. When he got to his base, he went straight the star room and typed in the coordinates that Jaggor gave him.

The room lit up and sent a wave over the entire room, Tenta-box observed as the coordinates showed a new world he had never seen before. Tenta-box climbed up the staircase and stood by the hologram of this strange planet.

“Interesting….” Tenta-box said as he observed this world closer.

There was a small moon circling around this new planet as Tenta-box drew nearer. It realized that this world was very similar to the first one that he presumed to have life, and the same world that had the strange monsters Bone Crunch resembled.

“Very interesting….”

Tenta-box studied this world and it looked VERY much like the other one, this interested Tenta-box….maybe there was life on this planet as well. And maybe this is where Jaggor went.

This observational research went on for hours until a minion interrupted Tenta-box’s studying. “What is it, minion; can’t you see that I am very busy?” Tenta-box told him.

The minion nodded and said, “I know, Tenta-box, but your ship is ready to launch.”

“And the Space Rifter…?” Tenta-box asked taking his attention off of the new planet.

“The Space Rifter is not fully repaired, but it will do the job, you just have to hurry and get to it. Also, we used the coordinates that the Space Rifter had last time so you can go straight to the planet where Jaggor is.” The minion finished.

“Very well, minion; take me to my ship.” Tenta-box ordered. The minion nodded and walked down the staircase with Tenta-box following.

Tenta-box turned off the star room and walked out with the minion, They both arrived to Tenta-box’s small transport ship just underneath the Space Rifter Tower. A bot soldier came up to Tenta-box and saluted.

“Tenta-box , your ship is ready along with the Space Rifter.”

Tenta-box nodded and said, “Prepare the launch code; I will be going to where Scalor and the Crushers escaped.”

“You mean that primitive world?” Another minion inquired.

Tenta-box nodded and said, “I have feeling…..that is may not be the same world.”

With that, he rolled off towards his ship. A minion with a traffic cone on its head turned towards other minions and said, “I guess I’m in command now that Tenta-box is gone, now send in the coordinates to the Space Rifter!”

The others saluted and took off towards the control post. Tenta-box arrived towards his ship and stepped inside. He found the Electrode cells and nodded.

“Good….the Electrodes are here…let’s get out of here.” Tenta-box said to himself and walked to the bridge. He sat down on the pilot seat and activated the control thrusters. He pressed the coms link and announced, “Bots, prepare the launch sequence!”

The robotic soldiers activated the Space Rifter. The tower lit up and shot a powerful beam into space, past Terra-glacies moons, and stopped on a supposed spot. The black vortex lit up and exploded, sending waves of energy out in space.

Tenta-box saw the vortex from Terra-glacies itself, he pressed the coms link and announced, “Commence countdown!”

The traffic cone minion looked at the soldiers and ordered, “Launch in 10…9…8…7…6...5…4…3…2…1...”

“NOW!!!!”

The ships thrusters erupted and shot itself off of Terra-glacies surface. Tenta-box held onto the control panel as he broke free from Terra-glacies gravitational pull. Tenta-box watched in awe as his ship closed into the portal…..closing it.
__________________________________________________________________
-Equestria-

The portal reopened again and Shockwave’s ship flew right through it.

As Tenta-box approached the ground below, he realized that this world was definitely what he had expected: primitive. He activated the forward thrusters and the ship came to a halt above the ground. Tenta-box pressed a few more buttons and the ship lowered just above a few trees. He slowly searched above the tree lines in this dense forest until he finally found it.

“Yes, I have found The Cruiser.” Tenta-box said and activated the back thrusters.

His ship was launched forward towards The Cruiser, as Tenta-box approached it, he noticed all the wreckages the ship had, it must have been through a lot. Tenta-box halted the ship right by The Cruiser and prepared to dock.

He went back into the Electrode cells and grabbed three pieces of Electrode spheres. “This will do for now.” Tenta-box said and stepped to the latch.

He pressed a button on the door and it opened to allow Tenta-box to make first contact with the alien ground.

He found it was….soft. Much like he deciphered on Terra-glacies. Tenta-box quickly made his way to The Cruiser and unlocked the latch. He immediately realized that this ship was far from repaired. The ship was destroyed!

Tenta-box walked through the halls of this tattered command ship when he stumbled upon the bridge.

“Finally…” Tenta-box told himself and walked up to a computer.

He began typing frantically to try and receive anything from this ship, he found out that it was at least operational, all defense systems were down unfortunately, and the Electrode levels were almost depleted.

“Well we can’t have that now.” Tenta-box said and put an Electrode sphere in the power supply. He pressed the activation switch and The Cruiser roared to life. All the lights came back on and it was much better than it was just a few seconds ago from being a dark area. He sighed with relief and was about to leave to collect the rest of the Electrodes…..

….only to be stopped by a deep groan.

Tenta-box froze in his tracks and turned back to the computer. It kept the same screen as how he left it. What made that noise? Another groan was heard spread through The Cruiser. Tenta-box took a defensive posture and said, “Who are you?!”

All of a sudden…..The Nemesis spoke.

“WHO DAREEES ENTER TARLUSSS THE UNBREAKABLE?”

Tenta-box was speechless. He shook his head to make sure he heard that correctly. “T…T…Ta-Tarlus…..is that you?” He muttered loud enough to be heard.

“I AM TARLUSSS!”

When Tenta-box knew for sure this was truly Tarlus, he suddenly realized he was a ship, “Tarlus, what happened to you, why are you in this state?”

“I HAVE BEEN DAMAGED AND BASS BUSTER FOUND ME!”

“But why are you a ship?” Tenta-box asked.

Tarlus thought for a moment until he remembered everything.
________________________________________
Tarlus was in deep stasis, that battle he had with Scalor was enough to kill him, how he was defeated so easily still tormented him. With Bass Buster trying to repair him, Tarlus heard another voice enter his hearing processors.

“Bass Buster, report!”

“Tarlus remains in deep stasis. Power core at 64% integrity. Catalytic overdrive generator is severly damaged. Estimating repair time-“

“No, there will be no need for that.”

Tarlus heard what this familiar voice had said and couldn’t believe it. He wasn’t going to be repaired!

The voice continued, “Tarlus, if you can hear me, understand that this isn't a rescue mission. Despite your great power, you failed to destroy the Crushers. You failed ME. Henceforth, your chassis will be redesigned to my specifications.”

Tarlus couldn’t believe it. That voice was Jaggor! What was he going to do to him?

Soundwave’s familiar voice echoed in Tarlus’ hearing processors, “Jaggor, in his damaged state, Tarlus’ alternate form will become permanent.”

“All the better. Buster, initiate the Cruiser protocol.”

Tarlus was stunned, he wanted to do something but couldn’t in this state he is in, all he could was suffer through it as he felt his entire body beginning to transform.
________________________________________
“JAGGOOOOOOOORRR!!!!!!” Tarlus yelled so loud the entire ship rumbled.

“What did Jaggor do to you?” Tenta-box asked regaining his stance.

“JAGGOR DID THIS TO ME!!! HE TURNED ME INTO THIS SHIP AND NOW I CAN NEVER TRANSFORM!!!”

“Why would Jaggor do this to you?” Tenta-box asked a little surprised.

“JAGGOR BELIEVED I HAVE FAILED HIM!!!! BUT SCALOR WAS TOO STRONG, NO ONE CAN DEFEAT HIM!!!!!”

“Hmmmmm….” Tenta-box rubbed the bottom of his jar thinking of a solution to this predicament. He didn’t have to think long. “Tarlus, I’ll tell you what, I will heal you so you can transform yet again.”

“WHY DO YOU AID ME?”

Tenta-box walked towards the computer and began typing, “I see it was unfair what Jaggor did to you, you are indeed a powerful warrior and will help the MOLLUSK cause. So I will just have to take off the Cruiser protocol and you will be back to normal.”

Tarlus remained silent until Tenta-box was getting frustrated. “Ugh, Bass Buster’s schematics are far too advanced for this. But it will not get in the way.”

“WHAT'S HAPPENEING?”

“You are being healed, Trypticon. I am almost finished…” Tenta-box answered. After a few more minutes, he pressed one final button.

“There we go; the Cruiser protocol has been lifted.” Tenta-box said in accomplishment.

“THANK YOU, TENTA-BOX. YOU ARE PROVEN WORTHY TO TARLUS.”

Tenta-box nodded and said, “Okay Tarlus, transform.”

A few struggling noises followed by some sparks going off was all that was heard. “I CAN'T TRANSFORM!”

Tenta-box checked the computer again, he had done everything right, and the protocol was lifted. Then he realized it. “Oh, you are very low on Electrodes, I forgot. You cannot transform without being properly filled. But the Electrode on my ship is not nearly enough for you to even transform once!” He explained.

“I WILL GO INTO STASIS TO REPAIR MYSELF. UNTIL THEN, I WILL BE NOTHING BUT A SHIP.”

“Are you sure, Tarlus, it may take a while for Megatron to get back, I am heading for his location right now.” Tenta-box told him.

“I AM SURE OF IT. NOW GO!”

Tenta-box nodded and walked out of the bridge. He entered his ship and began the thrusters. As he activated all backward thrusters and was launched with a powerful thrust, he knew that wherever Jaggor was……he was going to find him….no matter the cost.
________________________________________
Twilight awoke to a bright morning. She yawned and sat up; rubbing her eyes, she remembered what happened. She, her friends, and Spike got to stay in Canterlot for the night to recover from everything that happened.

She was in a normal room, all her friends got to stay in rooms of their own, except Spike, he slept in the same room Twilight was in, he just slept on the couch in the room.

"Spike, wake up." Twilight cooed and saw Spike squirm and yawn. He scratched his back and stretched out his limbs. "Morning, Twilight." He said.

"Morning, Spike." Twilight smiled and got out of bed. She walked over to the bathroom and got some water. She walked back out and heard a knock at the door.

"Coming…" Twilight gracefully said.

She opened the door to see Rarity looking worried. "What's wrong Rarity?" Twilight asked.

"Uhhh, Celestia is outside talking with the Crushers, something happened last night, and Celestia is not very happy about it." Rarity said.

Twilight was taken aback by this and looked at Spike. "Spike, let's go." Twilight sternly said and walked out the door. Spike got up and saw Rarity.

"OH! Hehe, hey Rarity." Spike nervously said.

"Come on Spike, we don't have time to talk!" Rarity said and grabbed Spike's hand. Spike blushed.

"You're....holding my hand." Spike smiled nervously. Rarity rolled her eyes and practically dragged Spike outside to the royal grounds.

When Spike and Rarity got there, they saw Twilight, Fluttershy, Pinkie, Rainbow, and Applejack standing next to Shining Armor. The Crushers were looking around nervously as Celestia was speaking with Scalor. Rarity and Spike joined the group and looked at the Crushers. Rarity sighed with relief when she saw Razor fully healed and standing with her friendss.

"Well, all the Crushers were here as accounted for, and none left the area." Scalor told Celestia.

"What about your friend over there?" Celestia pointed at the small green chameleon that hid behind Slash.

"Kooker, come here." Scalor said. The chameleon trudged over to Celestia and his fish friend . "Kooker, what did you do last night?" He asked.

Kooker looked at Celestia. "I swear, I didn't steal anything, the MOLLUSK bots were here leaving Canterlot!" he explained.

"Never the less, the Elements of Harmony were found missing last night and there was a massive hole in the Element Chambers, I'm not blaming you or your team Scalor, but still, we may have a problem here." Celestia explained.

"The Elements are gone?!" Twilight screamed.

"Calm down Twilight, Celestia has told us the intense power they hold, and in the hands of the bots it could be catastrophic." Scalor said.

"I told you the Bots stole the Elements!" Kooker yelled while crossing his arms.

"What do we do?" Fluttershy asked.

"We will have to get the Elements back; Celestia said that without them in Equestria it could mean never ending chaos." Scalor said.

"Well where do we look first Scalor?" Hawk Eye asked, "We don't exactly know where the bots are."

Scalor rubbed the back of his head and didn't say anything for a while. "Maybe we could…" he began but was interrupted by Blaster.

Snaggletooth's gas tank opened and a small radar dish came up. "The scanners located bot activity heading this bloody way!" He shouted.

"Celestia, you need to get somewhere safe, we will hold off the bots." Scalor said.

"No Scalor, we will negotiate with these bots, and I will find out what happened to the Elements of Harmony." Celestia told him.

Scalor sighed and said, "At least get behind me." Celestia did and stood behind the aquatic cyborg.

The Mane 6 and Spike began to get scared, Shining Armor assured them, "Don't worry, the Crushers and I will protect you."

Snaggletooth walked closer to the street, "It sounds like the bots are coming......right....about....no-" He couldn't finish when he was shot in the shoulder by a laser. He landed on his back and looked up.

A cylindrical, flying blue object flew past the Autobots. It made a U-turn and shot several lasers at the group. The lasers connected with several Crushers. One was headed for the Mane six, as they saw it draw nearer; Warhead got in front and used his own body as a shield to defend the equines.

The flying bot hovered above the Autobots and was about to fire more at the group, until Scalor used his eye laser to shoot down the bot. The android landed on the ground and crashed into some debris. Scalor pulled out his machete attachment and prepared to fight. The bot morphed and knocked the debris off of him.

Revealing none other than Tenta-box.

"Bara-codon!!!" Tenta-box growled. Scalor holding his machete in front of him and glared at the mad scientist. Twilight was terrified at this bot; he was all machinery, and had a glowing red eye that lit up when he said 'Bara-codon'. His arms were truly like an octopuses with mechanical tools protruded from them. His color was mainly dark blue and red for most of his head.

Tenta-box looked at the Crushers, and then at the ponies. "What interesting subjects, I might have to get a closer look." He said and began to walk closer to the ponies. Bone Crunch stepped in front of the ponies and glared at his old enemy.

"Awww, hello Bone Crunch, long time no see, how is the new body treating you?" Tenta-box asked.

Bone Crunch clenched his claws. It was Tenta-box who turned him and his team into freaks. Now Bone Crunch is glad to be stronger with his fighter form, but Tenta-box did horrible things to him and Grimlock hates him for it.

"What are you doing here you maniac?!" Circuit Breaker yelled. Tenta-box suddenly remembered.

"Lord Jaggor called me here, said he needed a job done, I've just come to deliver this." Tenta-box said and opened his chest compartment. Six little pieces of metal landed on the ground.

Tenta-box looked back at Scalor and pointed one of his tentacles at him.

"Bara-codon," Tenta-box began, "one day......but not today."

Shockwave finished by morphing back and flying off. It was all quiet and Shining Armor was the first to speak. "What the hay was that thing?" Shining asked looking at where the bot had dropped the metal pieces.

"That......is Tenta-box." Scalor said, having his machete revert back into his mechanical fin. Scalor walked over to what Tenta-box dropped and went to one knee to get a better look. Celestia walked next to him, Twilight and her friends followed.

Celestia gasped at what was on the ground, so did the Mane 6. It was the Elements of Harmony, completely void of color and emotion. "What happened to the Elements?!" Applejack asked frantically.

"It can't be true." Scalor muttered. The ponies looked up at him with worried expressions.

"What is it, Scalor?" Spike asked.

Scalor got a closer look and examined the Elements for a few seconds until he spoke up, "The Elements of Harmony have been infected with Dar Electrodes."

"Electrodes…?" Rainbow thought out loud.

"I thought Electrodes is what kept you all alive?" Twilight looked at Scalor expectantly.

"Electrites is what keeps us alive it has a light purple glow, but Electrodes is a deadly yellow substance that kills on touch." When Optimus said that, the ponies and Celestia backed away from the Elements.

"Oh no, this Electrode source is already depleted, it is not harmful now but the Elements are still infected with it." Scalor explained.

"Wait, so the Elements can't work anymore?" Twilight asked. Scalor looked over to the Crushers.

"Precision, we need a diagnosis." Scalor said. Precision came over and used his shoulder microscope. He examined the Elements.

"It appears the Electrodes have infected its magical qualities. So they cannot work for.....whatever it is you use them for." Precision explained.

"But...we need the Elements to keep order right?" Pinkie asked.

"And to keep peace in Equestria." Rarity included.

Twilight looked at her mentor who had a slightly opened mouth, and a very worried expression.

"Princess, what happens if the Elements are not working?" Twilight asked. Celestia didn't even move and continued with her worried expression.

"Princess…?" Twilight nudged her a little.

Finally, Celestia looked at Precision and said, "Did you say the magical qualities have been infected and won't work anymore?"

"Y-yes, why?" Precision asked.

Celestia's breathing increased and her eyes got wide. She looked at Scalor and said, "The Elements are what kept order and peace to Equestria, without them, chaos and disharmony will reign."

"Celestia, what are you trying to say?" Rainbow Dash asked.

Twilight also was wondering when suddenly...

...it hit her like a slap to the face.

"Oh no..." Twilight muttered.

"What is it Twi?" Applejack asked.

Twilight looked at her with a fear-filled face. Applejack suddenly realized as well. "Uh oh." Applejack muttered and shook with fear.

Suddenly, the obvious struck each of the ponies. Scalor was still confused. "What is so bad, Princess?" he asked.

Celestia looked at him and said, "We have to get to the statue garden at once!"

As Celestia said that, thunder was heard in the skies. Shining Armor looked up to see clouds covering the sun and lighting striking in the distance, "I thought it was supposed to be clear skies today, Princess?" Shining wondered.

"It was..." Celestia muttered in horror.

Rain started to fall; Celestia looked at Optimus and said, "We must get to the statue garden now! Follow me!" Celestia took off flying out of Canterlot. Scalor acted quickly.

"Men, follow Celestia!" Scalor yelled as his pals ran past him. The Primals transformed into their fighter forms and took off with the others. Scalor soon followed his allies towards the area the princess was heading to.

"Get in ponies, even you Shining Armor." Jumpstart said. Pinkie was the first to jump in, followed by Fluttershy, Rarity, Applejack, Rainbow, Shining, Spike, and Twilight. There were front seats and back seats. Pinkie, Fluttershy, Applejack, and Rarity got in the back. And Rainbow, Shining, Spike, and Twilight got in the front.

Twilight looked out and saw the road in front of her. She suddenly heard Jumpstart say, "Hold on!"

His tires spun to life as he drove down the long road, leading the Crushers. Pinkie stuck her head out the window and say, "This is so cool!"

Applejack pulled her in and said, "Sugercube, now is not the time!"

Jumpstart went faster and saw Celestia flying in front of him. Twilight looked back and saw they had already left Canterlot and were headed for the statue garden in Ponyville. They had all arrived, Celestia landed on the ground and walked inside the garden. All the Crushers watched as the ponies entered the garden too as they arrived.

Scalor soon walked in front of them and said, "Jumpstart, Dice, Slash, Warhead, and Razor, accompany me, something isn't right here."

"You got it, SB." Jumpstart said and walked inside the garden with Scalor, the rest followed.

Q-duck looked to the skies and saw as lighting happened every few seconds followed by thunder. The rain was hitting the ground harder, "Something bad is gonna happen. I bet my wings on it." Q-duck said. "C.B, what is going to happen?" He asked.

Circuit Breaker analyzed the skies and said, "It appears that this is no ordinary storm, these clouds and this lighting are coming together to this exact spot, in the statue garden!"

"This is gonna be crazy." Kooker muttered.
________________________________________
Inside the statue garden, Celestia and the ponies were looking frantically for the right statue.

"Come on, it has to be here somewhere!" Celestia said to herself.

"What are we looking for anyway?!" Shining asked.

"We're looking for-" Twilight began but stopped to see Celestia staring straight ahead.

The ponies and Spike looked past her and saw the statue they were looking for. It was shaking and had cracks forming in it. "Oh no... Not again." Celestia said. Scalor, Jumpstart, Dice,Slash, Warhead, and Razor came around the corner and saw the ponies.

"Celestia, we're here to-" Scalor began but was interrupted by a loud cracking noise and a bright flash.

The ponies and the Princess covered their eyes, what they heard next, froze them to the spot.

A loud maniacal laughter.

Twilight looked up to see their old enemy speak.

"I'M BACK!!!!"
