Lightning Seven: Flying Sparks

Twilight, Fluttershy, Pinkie, Rarity, Rainbow, Applejack, the Cutie Mark Crusaders, and Spike were frozen in fear.

This creature was even more freighting than Bone Crunch! If that was even possible.

It had red DJ glasses, its head resembled an upside down tear, yet it had no mouth. It was smaller than Bone Crunch was, but taller than the Princesses. It had blue armor and some multi-colored lights on its chest.

“Mini-bots, attack!”

When it spoke, it sent shivers down Fluttershy's spine. It suddenly pressed a button on his arm and to the pony's and dragon's amazement, its chest opened and two orbs came out.

The ball square transformed into a kind of bird, it squawked and landed on a branch, staring at the ponies. The second ball transformed into some kind of miniature version of the being before them only on a wheel

The ponies turned around to see this strange creature; they were scared when it started smiling maniacally.

"Alright little organics, lets tumble, Bass Booster style!" The creature shouted and fired its sound canon at the ground, causing a tremor that made the ponies shake as they tried to regain their balance.

Applejack got in front of her friends and sister, "Y-ya stay back ya here!"

Bass Buster smirked and started laughing. Fluttershy backed up frightened until she felt her rump hit something cold and hard. She turned around slowly and saw the giant monster staring down at her.

"Eep!" Fluttershy squeaked and ran back towards her friends. Bass Buster got in closer and put his hand up, the Mini-bots backed off as ordered.

"Scanning..." Bass Buster said and pressed a button on his torso. His glasses glowed green and a scan went over all the ponies and dragon. Rarity looked shocked as the scan went over her.

"How dare you look at me you brute?!" Rarity screamed and covered herself in embarrassment.

Bass Buster's glasses went back to red as he spoke, "Scanning complete, species: horse, subspecies: pony, other species: dragon. Requiring more data, Bass Booster, subdue the equines."

"With pleasure, Bass Buster," Bass Booster said and grabbed Rarity.

"Don't you touch me!" Rarity screamed and bucked Bass Booster, which made him fall backwards.

"Rarity, run and get help!" Twilight screamed.

Rarity took off galloping towards the way they came, Bass Buster acted quickly. "Talon, attack, the pony must not escape!" Bass Buster ordered. Talon flew down and scooped up Rarity, she started screaming and slashing around.

"Somepony help me!" Rarity screamed. Rainbow Dash took to the skies and knocked Talon out with her full speed, he fell to the ground. "Yeah, taste this you overgrown parrot!" Rainbow yelled holding Rarity.

Applejack was busy fighting off Bass Buster who tried attacking Applebloom. Applejack bucked Bass Booster with her full strength which made him fly back and hit a tree.

"Ponies battle worthy, prepare for annihilation." Bass Buster said and his right hand transformed into some kind of weapon that began to create electricity at the end. Rainbow flew toward him, but he simply swatted her aside. Rainbow landed by her friends with a loud grunt, they all looked up to Bass Buster pointing his gun at them.

The ponies didn't know what to expect from that strange weapon in Bass Buster's right hand, but it seemed dangerous. When he was about to fire a loud screech filled the air. The ponies, and dragon looked up and so did Bass Buster, they all saw a sleek metal air boat heading right for them!

The boat changed in front of the ponies eyes; it landed on the ground and was now a two legged creature like Bass Buster. The difference was that it had a wasp stinger and wings protruding from its back.

"Buzzer!" Bass Buster yelled and fired his gun at him. Buzzer dodged the lightning and kicked Bass Buster, sending him into a cluster of trees.

Buzzer turned towards the ponies and screamed, "Go organics! I'll protect you, just get out!"

Ignoring the confusion, the ponies and Spike ran towards a clearing deeper into the forest. But suddenly Bass Booster came and blocked their path. "You're not getting away that easy!" Bass Booster yelled but was kicked by Buzzer.

“I said go!!!" Buzzer yelled before he was tackled by Bass Buster. The ponies watched in awe at this clash of the titans going on. Bass Buster punched and fired at Swoop who retaliated with punches of his own.

Rummaging through the forest was Bone Crunch himself. He was very disappointed, he never found his Primal brothers, and worst of all he was lost.

He needed electrans…he couldn’t live like this.

“Hear…voices.” Bone Crunch muttered and pushed down a couple of trees.

‘Starving….starving…..starving.’ The voices continued their little games with the mighty robot. Bone Crunch shook his head and collapsed on one knee.

"Me give up, I never find Prima-" He began but heard fighting and metal being pounded not far from him. "Fighting? Me love fighting!" Bone Crunch said but then heard a screech.

"That sounds like..... BUZZER!!!" Bone Crunch said and transformed into his dino form. Several forest creatures scurried away in fear when this new beast suddenly appeared in the Everfree. He roared and took off towards the sound of the fighting.

Buzzer was being paralyzed by Bass Buster's sound attacks. The bug-bot clutched his head in pain and fell to his knees. Bass Buster laughed, it was a very disturbing, cold laugh that made the ponies shiver.

"Hee, hee, hee, hee, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!" Bass Buster continued to laugh as he was wailing on Buzzer.

Suddenly, Bass Buster stopped laughing as a loud roar was heard. Bass Buster turned to his right and saw two trees topple over, revealing the large metal T-Rex that growled with hunger at the Decepticon.

Twilight smiled and shouted, "It's Bone Crunch!"

"THAT'S Bone Crunch?!" Spike yelled very confused at this point.

Bone Crunch roared again and charged at Bass Buster, the communications officer tried to run but was caught in the massive jaws of the Dinosaur robot. Bone Crunch soon flung him to the ground.

Bass Buster got up and said, "Bass Booster, Talon return!"

The two Mini-bots transformed back and rolled into Bass Buster's chest compartment. Bass Buster transformed into a jet and flew off into the forest.

Twilight and Spike felt a nudge behind them, they turned to see Rarity. "Come on Twilight! Let's get out of here!" Rarity sharply whispered.

"But Bone Crunch, he saved us again!" Twilight whispered just as sharp.

"It doesn't matter let's go!" Rarity yelled a little and took off after the group, Spike and Twilight followed.

Bone Crunch looked at Buzzer who was struggling to get back up. Bone Crunch helped Buzzer up. Buzzer looked at Bone Crunch and gasped.

"Bone Crunch, is that you?" Buzzer asked.

"Yes, me glad found you." Bone Crunch told him.

Swoop stood up on his own and said, "Bone Crunch, do you remember anything that happened after you destroyed the Space Bridge?”

“No…do you?” Bone Crunch asked.

Buzzer nodded and explained, “Lighting Scale, Munch-Munch and I watched as the Space Bridge began to collapse. We didn’t know what happened to ya and we didn’t like it. But it only got worse…”

“What happened?” Bone Crunch asked obviously expecting to get an answer this time.

Buzzer sighed and said, “A massive explosion came from the tower. It overcame all of us and the last thing I knew…I was here.”

Bone Crunch sighed and said, “So that’s how we got here. We need to find the others.”

Buzzer nodded and transformed back into his plane form. He floated above his leader and shouted, “Bone Crunch, I have a locater, we can find the others!”

"You can?! Buzzer, lead way!" Bone Crunch said.

Buzzer did as he was told and flew into the air. "Bone Crunch, follow me!" Buzzer yelled and flew off. Bone Crunch ran close behind him.

It was getting harder to see her friends; the forest was getting thicker and thicker. Suddenly, Twilight tripped on a root and fell face first on the ground. She looked up to see Spike and her friends leave her behind.

"Hey, wait!" Twilight yelled, but it was too late, she was alone now.

Twilight shivered and looked around; she was really deep in the Everfree Forest now. She began to get teary eyed but held back tears as she looked for a way out. She began walking slowly through the forest, flinching at every little sound that was made.

Twilight finally came across a large field of grass in the middle of the forest; she sighed happily and walked inside. It was a good spot to be when you were lost; you could find a way out easier.

As Twilight walked in the center she stopped and listened to what sounded like buzzing. The buzzing became very loud and Twilight looked up and saw what was making the strange sound.

Many large jagged creatures were flying towards her!

Twilight screamed and started to run, but her path was blocked by a giant frilled lizard that licked its lips with what appeared to be a forked metal arms. Twilight looked at it and saw the same symbol of a snail shell.

She turned and ran the other way but was stopped by a turtle clock robot. Finally, Twilight was surrounded by several giant robotic animals. Twilight cowered and saw one of them emerged. It had a red visor; this creature was green and black. It glared down at Twilight.

One of the androids spoke up, "So C0rrup7@r, can we eat this organic?" Slicor looked at Twilight again; she was shaking with fear as she heard the words 'eat this organic.'

"Do whatever you want with it brothers, Jaggor doesn't us bringing back anything that seems as worthless as this. This. This." C0rrup7@r explained.

The bots moved forward on Twilight who backed up until she saw the third one behind her. She was trapped, there was no way out! Twilight closed her eyes and curled up in a ball, she let the tears fall this time.

"Somepony, help me!" Twilight screamed in a hope that her friends had heard. The Insecticons laughed and continued to move forward on their lunch. Twilight waited for her death to come, she just wished it would be fast.

That is, until Twilight heard a loud beeping sound.

She opened her eyes slightly to see the animots taking defensive poses. She looked over at what they were looking at and it made Twilight gasp in shock.

There from the forest, came a skinny biped with a hat that resembled Applejack's. It started to kick and punch the animots. Twilight could not see its face, but a bright red bandana.

Suddenly, the robots charged at the creature that kicked and punched them away. Slicor got angry and charged at the skeletal creature, they locked hands and pushed at each other. Slicor gave in, and the bony creature threw him against the others.

"Animots, retreat!" Slicor yelled and ran off, his allies did the same and soon.......all was quiet.

Twilight didn't stop shaking and barely looked up at this new creature. It suddenly looked at Twilight which made her close her eyes and whimper. She heard loud footsteps headed her way. She opened one eye barely to see the creature get lower to her.

The violet unicorn felt herself being gently lifted up. The creature cradled her in his hands and Twilight stopped shaking. She opened her eyes and looked up to the giant face staring at her with glowing blue eyes.

It spoke, "Don't worry little one, you're safe now." When it spoke, its bandana moved up and down. Its mouth was more of a bird.

Twilight spoke after a few seconds, "Th-thank you."

The head went back a few inches and said, "You can talk?"

Twilight gulped and said, "Y-yes I can.....thank you for saving my life."

"Eh don't sweat it, I wasn't just gonna let those animots eat ya up." It said.

Twilight smiled a little and asked, "What's your name?"

The creature answered, "The name's Hawk Eye."

The ponies and Spike stopped after a while and caught their breath. Spike wiped a beat of sweat off his brow before looking around. They had definitely lost whatever it was that was chasing them.

Wait…was anything even chasing them?

"Is... is everypony okay?" Applejack asked.

"Wait, where's Twilight?!" Pinkie screamed. They all looked around; Twilight was nowhere to be seen.

"Oh this is terrible!!" Rarity exclaimed.

"Twilight is alone, and there are monsters everywhere!" Sweetie Belle screamed.

"Now, now, calm down everypony, all we have to do is look fer her, she can't be far." Applejack explained.

"Oh, I hope we find her." Fluttershy said.

"Yeah...." Spike said with tears in his eyes.

"Now come on, let's go.....this way!" Applejack pointed and trotted towards an open clearing. The others followed.
________________________________________
Hawk Eye was walking through the forest, with Twilight behind him; they were talking the entire way. Twilight asked many questions about what he was. Wheeljack didn't want to tell her too much information.

They finally came across what Hawk Eye was looking for, the Crushers base camp. Hawk Eye covered Twilight with his spare jacket and told her to be quiet. She did and waited. The Crusher camp didn't have much, just a big fire spot that the soldiers made to see well.

Hawk Eye walked into the camp and saw his brothers talking.

"So, anymore ideas that could get us back to The Ranger, Precision?" Skydive asked.

Precision looked at the fire and said, "I still cannot locate The Ranger. In fact, I can’t even get any readings on this planet.”

The Crushers were in a sad silence until the dingodile Snaggletooth said, "Hey, how 'bout some music? That ought to cheer us up!”

"Shut up, Snaggletooth!" Slash yelled obviously not in the mood.

"But I just-" Snaggletooth began until he heard Hawk Eye behind him.

"Guys, you'll never believe what I found!" Hawk Eye said very excited. The Crushers came closer to him as he went by and stood near them.

"What is it?!" The mole known as Circuit Breaker said looking at Hawk Eye's hands holding his jacket.

"Okay, but you can't tell Scalor about it.....wait, where is he?" Hawk Eye asked.

"He went scouting, he'll be back soon." The Roadrunner Razor told him not taking his eyes off Hawk Eye’s jacket.

"Okay....guys, I found a species on this planet, the first alien we will ever interact with is in my hands." Hawk Eye explained and moved the jacket.

The Crushers gasped and looked with wide eyes at the purple pony. Twilight began to cower again and she shook with fear at all the strange creatures staring at her.

"It's okay Twilight, these are my friends, and we won't hurt you." Hawk Eye explained and rubbed her mane with his bony finger. Twilight stopped shaking and forced a smile.

"What is that?" Tarlok a slender being of the dark asked.

"Twilight, would you like to tell them?" Hawk Eye asked looking down at her. She nodded and smiled.

"My name is Twilight Sparkle, I'm a unicorn." Twilight told them.

"What's a unicorn?" Precision asked.

"What planet are we on?" Circuit Breaker asked her.

"You can talk?!" Slash yelled in confusion.

Twilight got confused at all the questions that were asked, but she thought and answered the simple ones.

"You are all on the planet of Equis, why, are you.......aliens?!" Twilight's ears perked up and she scrunched her face up adorably.

Kooker dawed and said, "Awww you're so cute!" Twilight blushed and smiled a little. But she remembered what she asked.

"Are you aliens?" Twilight asked. Circuit Breaker was about to answer when a stern and deep voice came from behind them.

"What's going on here?" The Crushers leader turned to see their leader, Scalor, walking towards them with arms crossed. Obviously the Crushers were making quite a ruckus and Scalor wanted to know why.

"Hehe..... Hey Scalor," Hawk Eye nervously said.

The ponies and Spike kept moving forward through the forest, they still didn't find Twilight, they were all getting worried.

"Oh no, Twilight was probably captured by some beast!" Rarity panicked.

"No, don't think that!" Applejack yelled back.

"Everypony look, a campsite!" Pinkie said excitedly.

All of them looked from the bushes and saw many creatures surrounding a camp fire. Each of them had many different forms which was odd. All of them had a strange symbol they saw on Bass Buster but it looked like a mallet. Rainbow Dash looked and saw Twilight being touched by one.

"They got Twilight." Rainbow whispered.

"We'll get her back." Applejack said and glared at the creatures.

Fluttershy put the Cutie Mark Crusaders and Spike behind a tree and said, "Stay here, until we say it's safe."

They nodded. Fluttershy, Rarity, Pinkie, Rainbow, and Applejack looked at Twilight one more time. "Okay.....one...... two...... three..... CHARGE!!!!" Applejack yelled and they charged out of the bushes, toward their friend.

Twilight heard the scream and looked to see her friends charging at the creatures that she had suddenly made friends with. "Oh no...." Twilight whispered to herself as her friends attacked.
