Lightning Seven: Flying Sparks

Even deeper in the Everfree Forest, was the great and powerful Lord Jaggor and his army of elite robots, recovering from their little incident. Jaggor had a deep gash across his leg; he was being repaired by Steam Punker, one of the repairbots. Jaggor winced in pain as his leg was being operated on.

"Careful you fool, if you wreck my leg you will suffer!" He warned.

"Forgive me my lord." Steam Punker said and continued to work.

A flying orb zoomed in and landed near Megatron. It was Overseer.

Overseer sounded hurt, "Oh my poor, sweet master, how it pains me to see you so injured, so weak." He told Jaggor.

"Spare me your words you insolent nitwit, you know what you were told and that is to shut up!" Jaggor roared.

Talon flew in and shot down a phoenix from the skies that flew off of a tree branch, the phoenix died instantly and fell to the ground. Talon then landed on Bass Buster's arm as Bass Buster approached Jaggor.

"Bass Buster reporting, lord Jaggor." Bass Buster announced himself.

Jaggor winced in pain again, "And what news from our communications officer?"

Bass Buster began, "I, and my Mini-bots have discovered alien life on this planet. These are horses or specifically known as ponies. They rule this world, unknown of the planet’s name."

"You couldn't capture one of these "ponies" for observational research?" Jaggor asked.

"Negative, the ponies got away before I could capture them but-" Bass Buster was cut off by Jaggor.

"You have failed me yet again Bass Buster, you’re supposed to me my special agent and NOT fail missions, tell me why I should spare your miserable artificial life?" Jaggor asked crossing his arms.

"The Crusher Buzzer defended the ponies, and then Bone Crunch came and attacked me, I had no choice but to escape." Bass Buster explained.

Jaggor rubbed his chin and said, "So the Lightning Fisters are on this world as well."

All of a sudden, the air was filled with a buzzing noise. Megatron looked up to see two animots heading for him while one of them crawled out of the tree lines. They landed on the ground. It was the three main animots: Time Box, Slicor, and Clam-borg.

"Lord Jaggor, Crusher Hawk Eye was found on this world! World! World!" Slicor said.

"Hawk Eye? Then the other Crushers must be here as well. Even Scalor." Jaggor clenched his fists.

Obliterator came up to Jaggor and said, "Uhh sir, everyone is here and accounted for all except Blade Wing."

Jaggor narrowed his eyes at Obliterator and said, "Blade Wing is now an enemy to us, he has betrayed us and allowed the one called Bone Crunch to escape and destroy the Space Rifter. He snuck his way onto The Cruiser like the weasel he is! If any of you see him, shoot him on sight!"

Limping his way through the forest was the Falcon sky commander of the MOLLUSK bots, Blade Wing, with an injured left wing and right leg. He trudged his way through this endless forest, wincing in pain at each step. Blade Wing decided to rest and he sat down beside a rock.

"OW! My leg is leaking oil! This is just perfect, lost in a forest when all the soldiers want to kill you!" he complained to himself.

Blade Wing heard a noise above him and saw Overseer fly by him. Blade Wing got to cover and luckily wasn't seen. "Ugh, great, now his idiot companion trying to kill me. It wasn't my fault we were sent here!" Blade Wing rambled on.

Blade Wing sighed and got up to keep moving, limping with every step.

"I can't be found by Jaggor, I just can't."

"And that is the story of how Equestria was born." Twilight finally finished.

Scalor was stunned to say the least, this history was quite interesting, with all its conflicts and resolutions, oh how he wished Terra-glacies was like this planet.

"Your planet has quite the history, Twilight." Scalor told her.

"Thank you, I'm still sorry about what happened to your world, Scalor." Twilight gave him a sorrowful look.

Scalor raised his hand forward and said, "Don't be, it was us who killed our planet, I just wish we could have done better."

There was a moment of silence before Rainbow Dash remembered something that bugged her. "Hey Scalor," Rainbow spoke up, he looked at her, "your friend here uhhh, Sky Burner right?"

"Outlook, but Sky Burner does sound like an awesome name." Outlook corrected her.

"Yeah Outlook, he has that weird triangle thing, do all of you have something like that?" Rainbow asked.

"Well sure we can Dash, We call it 'weapon assist'." Slash answered.

"'Weapon assisst'? How does that work?" Rarity asked.

"Well, let me show you!" Jumpstart answered and transformed into his car mode. His engine revved up and the ponies backed up a little in amazement, all except Pinkie.

Pinkie placed her chest on the hood of Jazz's car mode; she started to shake from the engine.

"ThIs FeElS aMaZiNg!" Pinkie shook as the engine kept going. The other ponies touched the hood as well and felt themselves vibrating.

"How is this happening?" Twilight asked.

"He's using one of his assists." Optimus answered.

"How?" Twilight asked.

"I'd like to answer that." Hawk Eye stated and walked up. He put one finger in the air. "Now let's start with how an assist is used." Wheeljack said.

"Oh great, here we go." Razor grumbled.

Bone Crunch kept making way for Buzzer and Munch-Munch as he pushed down two trees to clear them a path. "Turn right Bone." Buzzer said. Bone Crunch turned right just as ordered.

"Who are we gonna find next?" Munch-Munch managed to say.

"Lighting Scale, he's the last one. I hope he's okay." Buzzer said.

"I hope so too, we can't afford another loss of a Primal." Bone Crunch said as he pushed down more trees.

Buzzer chuckled and said, "So you finally admit that we can be called Primals now?" Bone Crunch ignored him and continued onward. Bone Crunch soon saw a blue and orange lizard; it was Lighting Scale. Bone Crunch walked up to Lighting Scale to surprise him.

"We are together once again, I thought I would never see any of you again, I thought I would be lost in this pony world forever." Bone Crunch explained.

Buzzer chuckled, "Love you too, buddy."

"Bone Crunch, the blast from the Space Rifter sent us to this new world, where do we go now?" Lighting Scale asked.

"Buzzer has the locater, ask him." Bone Crunch pointed at Buzzer.

"Yeah.....yeah I can find the others!" Buzzer yelled.

"GOOD! I hate this damn forest!" Lighting Scale raised his fists.

Bone Crunch pounded his fists to his chest, "Let's move, Primals!" Buzzer took off slowly; Lighting Scale helped Munch-Munch up while Bone Crunch followed Buzzer through the forest, with his pals behind them.

"And then we have micros, they can-" Hawk Eye was explaining before he was silenced by Scalor.

"Okay Hawk, we understand, but you're confusing the ponies." Scalor pointed at the group who were rubbing their heads in confusing, Twilight regretted asking that question.

"Okay, well, what are all of you going to do now?" Twilight asked.

Scalor rubbed the back of his head and answered, "I.....I truly don't know, we don't have the right supplies to return back home, we might be stuck here for a while." The Crushers hung their heads in sorrow, the ponies and Spike couldn't help but feel sad for all of them, they were lost in a world they did not know, and they didn't know how to get back.

When Twilight was about to say something, Scalor stood up in alert and looked at the forest. The ponies looked behind them and saw nothing.

"Men, defensive positions!" Optimus ordered.

The large team got up and held their fists forward, ready. Fluttershy looked back at Scalor who narrowed his eyes deeper into the forest; he obviously saw something the ponies didn't.

After a moment of scary silence, the forest erupted with many ponies who wore golden armor. They flooded the Crushers who tried to block them.

"DO NOT HARM THEM!!!" Scalor yelled and continued to block, not harming a single one.

Twilight, Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Spike, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, and Applebloom backed away from the Crushers and tried to get to cover when they were surrounded by many unicorns with golden armor.

Shining Armor came in the center and hugged Twilight. "I'm so glad you're safe!" Shining said and continued to hug Twilight.

Twilight broke off and glared at him.

"What are you doing, Shining?!" Twilight demanded.

"We're saving you from the monsters! After we heard of what happened to you and your friends with the first monster, Celestia ordered we come in the Everfree and capture the beasts, we didn't know you and your friends would come in tonight!" Shining explained.

"No, they're friendly! Stop with the attack!" Spike yelled.

"Yeah, they’re nice!" Fluttershy quietly shouted.

"How do you know?!" Shining asked.

"Call off the attack and we'll tell you!" Twilight glared at her brother even more. Shining thought for a minute and held up his hoof.

"All Royal Guard, seize the attack!!!!!" Shining Armor yelled. All the Royal Guard stopped at once and landed on the ground, staring at their captain.

Shining looked at Twilight waiting for an answer, Twilight looked at Scalor and waved her hoof towards her, wanting him to come closer. Scalor did and walked up to them, he went to one knee to meet Shining Armor's eye level.

"This is Scalor," Twilight began, "He is the leader of the Crushers, they’re aliens and they ARE peaceful, or somewhat peaceful."

"Somewhat peaceful?" Shining repeated Twilight’s words and looked back at Optimus Prime.

"Well they have been through a war, Shiny, but they believe in peace, right Scalor?" Twilight asked.

"Indeed, you have nothing to fear Shiny; we will never harm this planet's race." Scalor assured him. Shining Armor didn't take too kindly to an alien calling him by the nickname his sister gives him.

"First of all, my name is Shining Armor. Second, we got the information that a monster like you attacked my sister and her friends earlier today." Shining growled.

"Are you sure it was not a MOLLUSK bot?" Scalor asked keeping his attitude at a minimum.

"A MOLLUSK-what?" Shining was confused.

"No, it was Bone Crunch," Twilight answered, "and you said he was part of the Crushers." Twilight looked up at Scalor.

After Twilight had said that, Shining glared at Scalor since one of his men attacked his sister, Applejack took quick notice. "But, we attacked him first, so it's all fair to say that he was defendin' himself." Applejack told Shining Armor.

"Self-defense huh?" Shining said and rubbed the back of his head. He thought for a long moment before looking at Optimus. "I'm sorry about that; we didn't know you were peaceful and all." Shining said.

"It is alright, we would never have harmed you anyway if you still attacked us." Scalor told him.

"Uhhh thanks and uhh sorry, Twily." Shining apologized.

"It's okay Shiny." Twilight smiled at him.

"Now, how would you and the Royal Guard like to meet the Crushers?" Pinkie asked Shining Armor with a wide smile.

"That would be great." Shining smiled and shook Scalors' hand.

The Royal Guard went around and met each of the members, mostly they were apologizing. After that was done, Shining went up to Twilight and her friends.

"Okay, let's get back to Canterlot, all of you." Shining Armor said.

"What about the Crushers, we can't just leave them here." Twilight pleaded.

Shining Armor looked at Scalor and his team, he smiled and said, "Would you all like to come to Canterlot, we can get you better places to rest besides this forest."

"Hey, that would be great!" Warhead yelled.

"Yeah, I need to fix some of these scratch marks on my armor." Jumpstart said rubbing his scratch marks.

"Can we go, Scalor?" Q-duck asked.

Scalor rubbed his chin and asked, "Are you sure it is alright, Shining Armor?"

"Oh there is no trouble; the Princess will love to meet you." Shining explained.

"Well okay then, men, lets roll-" Scalor began.

"Leaving so soon?" Came a deep and threatening voice.

Scalor turned around and thought to himself, 'Cod.....not now.'

There, standing in the front of the massive forest, was the leader of the MOLLUSK bots and Scalor’s old rival....

….Lord Jaggor.
