Mind over Matter

MeanWhile On Cybertron

“WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CAN'T FIX IT!!” Megatron shouted at Onslaught and Swindle.

“My lord I haven't fixed anything like this, It's so advanced and fragile.” Swindle explained.

“I do not care. Shockwave will be reporting back soon enough and I expect decent results on our new source of energon -” Megatron aims his fusion cannon at Swindle’s head “- Get it done soon or I’ll have your spark!”

“Wait Lord Megatron-” Onslaught piped out in fear “-Even though he didn't fix the space bridge, he did fix communications with Soundwave.”

“Is that so. If that's the case then bring Soundwave onscreen now.”

“Uh, yes Lord Megatron!” Swindle quickly typed in the coordinates as the other decepticons waited for the signal to reach Soundwave.

Soundwave and Rainbow Dash flew through the midnight sky as Dash flew in front of Soundwave, watching him learn how to flap his wings properly and getting a few laughs in as well. “Keep it up Soundwave, you’re doing good so far.”

“I’m doing it, I'm doing it!” Soundwave said as he flew through the clouds.

“That’s good -” Rainbow flew over to a nearby cloud “- Maybe we should stop and take a break, wouldn’t want you getting too cocky.”

“Oh Dash, when am I ever too cocky.” Soundwave grinned.

“I hardly know you but considering you're a Pegasus and all, I’m just saying don’t let your flying go over your head. I learned that the hard way.”

Her saying that caught Soundwave’s curiosity. “What do you mean?”

“How about we sit over there on that cloud and I’ll tell you, besides I’m starting to get tired.”

Both Pegasus moved to the next cloud where Rainbow Dash decided to finish her story.

“Three months ago I was invited to train at the Wonderbolt academy. I wanted to show them that I could be the best of the best. The only problem was that I had competition by the name of Lightning Dust.”

“Lightning Dust?”

“Yeah and she was not only fast but she also became a good friend...Well almost.”

“What do you mean?”

“Well… she was too full of herself and then there was the whole endangering my friends thing. It didn’t work out so good.”

Soundwave was just getting used to have feeling and sympathy and he didn't know how to feel about this or what to say.

“What’s wrong Soundwave, you feeling okay?”

Soundwave remained calm, remembering to keep it cool. Like he said, only data collecting.

“Yeah I’m alright, I’m just sorry to hear that, it must have been rough on you.”

“A little but I got over it, no use in dwelling in the past. So what about you, what's your story?

“Mine?”

“Yeah, I mean we didn't get the chance to hear it due to us getting yelled at by Twilight and Shockwave. So tell me about you.”

Soundwave began to panic in his mind, he had to make something up quick. “Me and Shockwave are from Hooftin and we are roommates.”

“Hooftin huh? How far is that from here?”

“A long way from here. At least five solar cyc- I mean, five days from here.”

“What do you do there?”

“I’m a DJ.” Soundwave said as he remembered his job before the war on Cybertron started.

“A DJ? Well it does explain that name of yours. So what kind of music do you play?”

“Dubstep.”

“So then you make the same kind of music as the DJ of Ponyville, DJ Pon-3?”

“Who’s that?” Soundwave gave her a quizzical look.

Rainbow Dash nearly jumped to her feet. “You don’t know who DJ Pon-3 is? Didn’t Twilight tell you two about Vinyl Scratch?”

“No she didn't. Wait so this Vinyl Scratch is a DJ like me, what is she like?”

“Only like the coolest party pony in all of Equestria, well behind Pinkie but that’s debatable.”

“Really, Interesting.”

“You know, I think you two would hit it off.” Dash said with a playful grin.

“Like playing music together?” Soundwave said as he scratches his goatee.

“Yeah, you guys together could have even the princesses dancing but I don't mean just playing music Soundwave.” Dash said as she grinned

“I don’t really understand?”

“How can you not know, you’re a stallion for Celestia’s sake. I’m saying that if you get the chance ask her out, you two would be perfect for each other.”

“I don’t know, I don't think Shockwave would like that idea Dash.”

“Well Soundwave, Shockwave doesn’t control you so why do you need his permission to do anything fun?!”

“You wouldn't understand Dash.”

“Really?! Okay then if you can't answer that, then answer me this; What's your relationship with Shockwave?”

“He is the leader between us, he orders and I follow without fail. He can be a bit unbearable at times but orders are orders. Besides he always has my back like I have his.”

“So you two are like brothers?”

“In a way, yes.” A small smile appeared on Soundwave’s face. “Perhaps we should head back, I’m sure your friends will be looking for us soon. Besides I don't want Shockwave to compost into flames of rage.”

“Alright then, why don’t we make it interesting. Instead of just flying back, let’s have a race.”

“Oh you are so on.” Soundwave and Rainbow Dash got into their racing stances.

“Ready… in three, two, one!” The two Pegasus took off and flew through the sky on their way back to the others.

“So Shockwave where did you two come from? I hear that it must be from far far away and it must be a long way from here since you two definitely walked all the way and have you seen most of Ponyville on your way to the library and…”

“Pinkie, is it possible to shut that mouth of yours?”

“But I have so much to ask you Shocky!”

“What did you call me?” Shockwave growled at the pink pony.

“Your name silly willy. I knew you would love it, just look at that smile on your face!”

“I’m not smiling, I’m scowling and don’t call me Shocky. My name is Shockwave.”

“But that's boring Shocky, how about Shock or Shockstir….Oh Oh better yet Fluffy.”

“I don’t care what you think. How would you feel if I called you Pink or just plain stupid?”

“Hummm...I don't know Shocky, I mean those names were good but it doesn't fit. Oh I got a great name for you Shocky!”

“It’s the same annoying name you gave me earlier!” Shockwave yelled out.

“Nope better….How about….Pikachu.” Said with a huge smile on her face.

Shockwave mumbled under his breath as the others chuckled at her suggestion. “When Megatron conquers this planet, she’ll be the first to die as I will personally wield her mouth shut and feed her to the insecticons.”

“Hey Shocky! We’re here!” Pinkie yelled into his ear while pointing at Sugarcube corner.

“That was unnecessary you buffoon. I just want to go back to the library and enjoy some peace and quiet.”

“You could learn to lighten up Sugarcube.”

‘Oh I can lighten up if my name wasn't being butchered into stupid nicknames.”

“Well if you don’t like Shocky all you had to do was say so -” Pinkie pulled out a long list from behind her back “- Cause I have a few more names to try. How about… Shok, Wavey, Male Twilight or…”

“Forget it! Fine you can call me Shocky as long as you shut up.”

Pinkie tosses the list to the side, “Okay, Shocky!”

“Oh you will suffer pink one.” Shockwave thought

“Oh, before I forget Shocky. I bet you’re wondering why I brought you here right?”

“No, I was wondering why you wouldn’t shut up.”

Pinkie giggled, “I don’t know. But to answer the first question, I brought you here -” She opens the door to reveal a room full of ponies “- for your SURPRISE WELCOMING PARTY!”

“SURPRISE!!!” All the ponies shouted in unison as Shockwave looked up and so a banner saying Welcome. “Oh you gotta be kidding me.”

“Um, what’s the matter Shockwave?” Fluttershy asked in her timid voice.

“How did she plan all of this when she was with us and driving me up the wall with her constant yapping, it’s illogical?!”

“With Pinkie, logical and illogical are pretty much blurred” Twilight said as she levitated a cup of punch over to herself. “Speaking of blurred, where's Dash and Soundwave?”

All of a sudden they hear a crash behind them as something pushed over and landed on Shockwave.

“Sorry, still getting use to flying. ” They see it was Soundwave who landed on top of Shockwave as Rainbow Dash landed on her hooves, laughing.

“Guess you lose Soundwave, your hooves didn’t touch the ground.”

“Thanks alot shockwave, you made me lose.”

“Just get off me! You're crushing my back!”

Soundwave chuckled and stepped away from shockwave who got back up and dusted himself off. As shockwave was doing that, Soundwave notices the things around him as he saw the welcome banner and all the ponies who were now looking at them. “Wait what's going on here.”

Before an answer could be given, Pinkie shoved them up into the front area of the room. She pulled out her moustache and jumped onto the counter. “Alright everypony, these two have agreed to answer any question you have so ask away!” Shockwave and Soundwave's eyes shrunk in upon hearing Pinkie.

“We did not agree to that Pinkie! Wait questions...What questions?!”

The cross eyed pony known as Derpy spoke up first. “What do your cutie marks mean? They look funny.”

“Cutie marks….What are you-” Shockwave looks at his flank and his eyes sink in deeper seeing the Decepticon symbol there with a symbol of a dna behind it. He then looked back at the crowd smiling “Ohhhh this. Hahahah….Oh well its kinda hard to explain.”

“Why?”

“Gulp”....Well, we are ahhh..We are..ahhh-”

“Our Cutie marks represent our long friendship.” Soundwave answered as everypony gasped.

“Uh yeah. We’ve been good friends since we were uh… colts.” Shockwave blurted out.

“What's wrong your voice.”

“Ok look I know my voice is monotone, I get it I sound like a robot but I was born like this, so deal with it.”

“Why does your unicorn friend seem agitated?” asked another pony with mint green fur and a lyre cutie mark. “Doesn’t he like the party?”

“Ok I’m going to be honest, Shockwave is kinda of a bummer, he never likes to party only to study and listen to boring music.”

“What music do you listen too.” The mint green pony asked.

Shockwave was kinda glad he was asked this question as he puffed out his chest and placed his right hoof on it. “I’m a pony of style and class, I listen to the sweet sounding symphony of the violin as its bow runs down the strings, creating a beautiful sounding bliss.”

“BORING!”

Shockwave’s eyes opened wide. “Shut up Soundwave, the music I listen too is not boring!”

“Yeah it is, it can put anyone to sleep.”

“Well its better than the crap you listen to, so loud and obnoxious, it's not even music!”

“You’re one -” The two decepticons look back at the crowd, noticing that they were watching them in shock. The two decepticons looked back at each other and chuckled nervously as they faced back to the crowd. “Umm...Sorry about that. Me and Soundwave play different types of music, I play classical and him-”

“WUBS!!” Soundwave cutted in front of Shockwave.

“Wait what's Wubs-”

“Wait you're a DJ?” Somepony in the crowd asked.

“Yes, I am a DJ. I use to play for all the hottest clubs in Hooftin before becoming a roommate with Shockwave.”

“Can you play for us?”

“Sure.”

“Soundwave I don't think-”

“SOUNDWAVE SOUNDWAVE SOUNDWAVE!” The crowd chanted

“How are you gonna play for them when you have nothing to play on?” Shockwave asked.

“Hey! Out here!!!” Everypony in the room turned their attention to the windows. “Will this work?”

The ponies made their way outside and circled around the mare and her equipment. “This is my own personal equipment!” The crowd awed and Soundwave’s eyes grew wide and so did his smile as he saw a huge Dj set with so many records to choose from with big ass speakers. “If you’re really a DJ Soundwave, then you won’t have a problem with this baby.”

“Ha if only it was bigger buuut, I can make it work.” Vinyl moved to the side as Soundwave walked over to the equipment.

“Soundwave I don't think you should-”

“I know what I’m doing.” Soundwave cutted Shockwave off.

Soundwave stepped behind the booth and looked at the records he was while looking he noticed something “Wait something’s missing -” Soundwave pulls a pair of red shades from inside his folded wings and puts them on “- Better.”

“Where did he get tho-”

“GET READY TO DROP THE BASS!!!” Soundwave tuned up the volume to eleven and spun the records.

The crowd roared with applause as they chanted Soundwave’s name “Thank you, Thank you. You are all too kind now please enjoy the rest of the party.” And with that Soundwave puts in a record and lets a song play as he stepped out of the booth and meet up with Shockwave.

“You really shouldn’t have done that. If they enjoy it too much, they’ll want you to play more and then our mission will never get done.”

“Oh come on Shockwave its a party, you need to enjoy yourself. Besides once we take over, this might be our last party.”

“How can I enjoy something like this? There is no one here who enjoys the same type of music as me.”

“Please Shockwave just try to have fun.” Soundwave said as he put a hoof on Shockwaves shoulder.

“Will you stop begging if I do?” Shockwave asked as he rubbed his mane.

“Yes.”

“Humph. Fine I’ll try but I’m telling you its not going to be fun.” Shockwave cursed as he walked away. Soundwave watched walk away until he heard his name being called out.

“Hey Soundwave!”

Soundwave looked behind him and sees the same white unicorn from before who offered her equipment. While she was walking closer to him can now make good details of her look. Her mane’s style was wild and blue with light blue highlights. Her cutie mark was a music note and her eyes were blocked from view because of her pair of shades.

“That was awesome , you put on one sick show.”

“Thank you, and thank you for letting me use your beautiful equipment.”

“No problem.”

“You must be Vinyl Scratch.”

“ You guess right. I’m the DJ pony of Ponyville, actually the only DJ pony in Ponyville.”

“You are?”

“Yup. Just like how Pinkie is the party pony, I’m the DJ pony. Somepony had to take the job, this place was rather dull at night before I came along.”

“How long have you been in ponyville?”

“A couple of months. Me and my roommate moved here from Canterlot.”

“Why?”

“Mostly for the peace and quiet but that's kinda ruined due to me practicing my songs.”

“I hear you.”

“So where did you come from.”

“Hooftin with my friend and roommate Shockwave.”

“Cool, so Soundwave you think you can team up with me and show these ponies a good night?”

“You’re willing to share the spotlight?”

“Why not, you’re the only other pony here who knows how to jam with wubs.”

“Okay, let’s do this.”

“Yeah, let’s give these ponies some wubs to jam to!”

On the far side of the party, Shockwave sat alone near the punch bowl as he watched Soundwave partying with Vinyl. “It looks like Soundwave is having fun, I’m not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. I just hope Megatron contacts us soon.”

“I see that you don’t like loud music as well.”

Shockwave broke from his thoughts to see a grey mare in front of himself. She had a dark mane with purple eyes and around her neck was a purple bowtie attached to a white band. She turned around to look at the party again, giving Shockwave a clear view of her cutie mark which was a purple cleft note.

“I can also see that you don’t talk much.”

“It’s not that, I was just lost in thought.” Shockwave said as he walked up next to her. “I’m sorry.”

“It’s alright Mister…?”

“Shockwave, my name is Shockwave.”

“My name is Octavia and I liked what you said before about the symphony of the violin, I thought it was beautiful.”

“Why thank you Octavia. I’m glad to see someone around that has taste in refine classical music.”

“Of course, after all I do play the cello.”

“Really?”

“Yup, I have been playing since I was a filly, even though some disagree with my music taste.”

“Why’s that, they don't like your performance?”

“No its nothing like that, I get a lot of support from my family and friends, but sometimes they tell me “Octavia your 17 years old, why are you listening to music meant for older ponies?” I always tell them it’s more soothing and relaxing compared to the loud and ear splitting music of today.”

“Ha try telling that to my friend.”

“Where is your friend?”

“Over there partying with that unicorn over there.” Shockwave pointed to Soundwave and Vinyl who were dancing together.

“Seems like those two really enjoy each other’s company”, Octavia said with a small smile.

“You know her?”

“She’s my roommate. We arrived here from Canterlot after she begged me to come with her.”

“What's she like?”

“She’s caring but can be a bit loud sometimes with her constant wubs. But she and I have been friends since we were fillies and we treat each other more as sisters than friends.”

“I suppose the same can be said for me and Soundwave.”

“Who?”

Shockwave pointed at the two dancing again, “The Pegasus dancing with your friend.”

“You two act like brothers, one the older and more mature and the other more outgoing and loud.”

“Seems about right, He can be a bit annoying but he was the only one I knew since childhood as well.”

The two stare and their friends dancing and the back to each other. They both couldn't help  it as the gaze into each others eyes.

“Would you like some fruit punch Octavia?” Shockwave smiled as he didn't notice the slight blush on his face, also noticing Octavia blushing as well.

“I would love some Shockwave.” Octavia smiled.

“You got some moves Soundwave, what's it called?!” Vinyl asked as Soundwave was doing a stiff but funky dance.

“I call it the robot.” Soundwave said as they both laughed. Soundwave couldn't believe he was actually partying again as he forgot due the war on Cybertron as Megatron HATES parties.

As he was enjoying himself...It hit him. The feeling he knew all too well, that feeling he got all the time when he was a communication officer. “Uh Oh not now.” he cursed as his right ear began to twitch as he knows what this means “Megatron.” he mumbled.

“Humph... Soundwave are you alright your ear is twitching.” Vinyl said with a worried tone.

“Uh, yes… I have to go speak with my partner. I’ll be right back!” Soundwave ran as fast as could through the crowd until he could see Shockwave with Octavia.

“Really, that's hilarious!” Octavia cried laughing, so did Shockwave.

“I swear he fell on his face. He boasted how he was the fastest pony in Hooftin and then as soon as he flew into the sky, he fell face first into the ground. We never let him live it down.”

“Reminds me of that time I was in Canterlot with Vinyl and she accidentally fell when she was trying to move her Bass Cannon around.”

“What happened?”

“Well what happened was-”

“SHOCKWAVE!!”

Shockwave groaned as he knew that monotone voice. He saw Soundwave running in his direction with a look of fear and panic. “What’s going on Soundwave. I thought you were partying with your new friends?”

“We have a small issue.”

“Octavia this is Soundwave, Soundwave this is Octavia.”

“Hello, Octavia -” Soundwave’s ear twitching began to worsen “- Shockwave may I speak with you in private?”

“Soundwave can't it wait?” Shockwave asked as Soundwave grabbed him and pulled him close to his face “No it can’t.”

Shockwave groaned and turned towards Octavia, “I’m afraid I have to go, something urgent has come up.”

“Okay, see you around, would you like come over at my house?”

“I would love to.” Shockwave replied with a smile as he was being pulled away further by Soundwave until they were far enough.

“Now will you tell me what’s so damn important Soundwave that you needed to interrupt our conversation?”

“I’ve received a communication signal from Cybertron. The signal is coming from Lord Megatron.”

Shockwave’s eyes grew wider at the announcement. ‘What now?”

“Yes now!” Soundwave said as his ear was twitching like mad.

“In that case we need to hurry before our lord becomes impatient.”

“Where will we go?”

“My scanners indicate that the location known as The Everfree Forest should be the safest location to avoid interruptions.”

“Perhaps we should inform the others to make sure that none of them becomes curious enough to follow.”

“You really think they would believe that?”

“Considering they do not know us well, it should be enough to trick them.”

“Okay as long as it gets my ear to stop twitching.”

Both decepticons made their way through the dancing crowd of ponies to find Twilight and her friends dancing with each other.While they were getting closer, Twilight saw Shockwave and Soundwave and notice that his right ear was twitching.

“What’s going on guys?”

“Soundwave and I are heading out for a walk to uh… clear our heads for a minute. And Soundwave is not feeling well.”

“Well okay but be careful. You guys are still new here and I don’t think we need two lost stallions on our conscious.”

“We promise to stay careful” Shockwave and Soundwave made their way through the crowd again and headed into The Everfree Forest.

“Alright Soundwave once we get in the clear we will-” Shockwave bumped into something and looked down to see an orange filly with purple mane staring at him... Angrily. ”Oh I’m sorry, I didn't see you there. Are you okay?”

She didn't respond as she continued to stare daggers at them.

“Is this pony deaf or something?” Shockwave asked Soundwave, who simply shrugged.

“I know what you two are.”

“I’m sorry, come again?”

“I know what you two really are. You’re not really stallions, you’re aliens!”

The two decepticons stare at the filly in shock. “What are you talking about, we’re not aliens. ”Shockwave tried his best to hide his fear but chuckled. “My, My, you have quite the imagination there kid, but you do know that ‘Aliens’ don't exist right?”

“You can fool the other ponies around here but I know what I saw.”

“Exactly what did you see?”

“I saw four HUGE footprints in the forest and they were there right when you two got here.”

“It doesn’t really prove much other than something else must have made those footprint. It must have been coincidence.”

“But the footprints don’t look like a Manticore or any other creature from the Everfree. There were no toes and it even looked blocky!”

“Is that right, well sounds like you have quit the mystery to solve there.” Soundwave grinned.

“Perhaps there is a creature in this Everfree with that kind of footprint and you just don’t know it. After all, you’re just a child and a child would not know that much about the world.”

“You know what, laugh all you want but I will expose you two what you really are and show them that you guys are just wearing disguise and you are actually aliens coming to take over.”

Shockwave then had enough and lowered down to the fillies eye level. "There is another flaw in your plan. How will you explain to them that giant aliens changing into smaller ponies like us?”

“I… uh… well -” The filly then began to kick the dirt on the ground “- I know it can be possible, Pinkie can do things that wouldn’t make sense so I’m sure aliens could too.” The filly directed her eyes towards their cutie marks. “Besides, what kind of cutie marks are those anyway?”

“Humph….Did anypony ever tell you that its rude to call out on somepony’s cutie mark even when they don't even have one themselves.”

“It is not rude when you wanna know what they are or if they’re even real.”

“They are real but we don’t need to tell a child what they mean.” Shockwave said in an agitated tone. “Now if you’ll excuse us, we have somewhere to be.” Shockwave moved the filly out of the way and walked on with Soundwave following behind.

The two continued on until they reached the entrance to The Everfree Forest. “Is this the location, Soundwave?” Shockwave turned to his partner who nodded his head.

“Coordinates indicate that this is the forest that the ponies refuse to enter no matter what.”

“Good. Soundwave, quickly scan the area behind us.”

“Why?”

“To make sure we are not followed, I can already see that kid becoming a problem for us.”

Soundwave’s eyes turn red as he scans the area around them for signs of life. “Scanners indicate that no intelligent life is within the vicinity.”

“Good, lets go.”

Shockwave and Soundwave entered the forest as the walked further into it, just to be sure that nopony was around them. They walked until the round up in a wide open space in the forest.

“This spot is perfect. Soundwave it’s time for us to change back into our cybertronians selves”

Soundwave nodded his head as Shockwave used his device to turn him and Soundwave back to cybertronians as a purple mist shrouding them as their silhouette starting shifting and growing larger, until the mist blew away and stood Shockwave and Soundwave back into Decepticons. Shockwave’s head started to hurt like crazy as he had a difficult time standing as Soundwave was wobbling. “Remind me to fix the device when we finish here Soundwave.”

“It feels so weird standing again.”

“I know what you mean, I was starting to get used to walking on four, no matter we better respond quickly before Megatron blows a fuse.”

“Shockwave… Sou- wave report… immediately.” Megaton's voice was barely audible to the two. Soundwave pressed a button on his chest, the receiver finally catching the transmission from Cybertron. “Soundwave, Shockwave. Report now!”

“Lord Megatron This is Shockwave..Come in Megatron.”

“Shockwave, Soundwave I’m glad to see that you two are not scraped. I trust this mission of yours is coming along smoothly?”

“Of course Lord Megatron, we have gained their trust rather quickly. It won’t be long now until this planet will be yours for the taking.”

“Excellent. Your pets have been waiting to play with these ponies, especially Kickback.”

“Humph they will feed soon enough as I already have a candidate for their first meal, I just hope they like pink.”

“You better hope this planet is rich in energon Shockwave -” Starscream interrupted the conversation “- Would hate to see you finally fail at something.”

“You seem to forget Starscream, at least my plans have allowed us to control half of Cybertron while yours nearly had us all in the scrapheap.”

“How dare you -”

“Enough!” Megatron interrupted their conversation. The sound of his fusion cannon could be heard in the background. “Incompetent fool. I want this planet as soon as possible, if anyone gets in your way, annihilate them.”

“Understood Lord Megatron, they will be dealt with.”

“Soundwave, if anyone gets in your way..what will you do?”

“I will exterminate.”

“Excellent. Onslaught and the Combaticons are working on fixing the space bridge as we speak. We should be fully operational before the two weeks are up. Remember, we must strip this planet of it’s energon deposits if we are to restore Cybertron.”

“Soundwave and I know of the stakes of this mission, we will not fail.”

“See to it that you don’t, Megatron out” the transmission ended and the two looked at each other, knowing their mission has to be complete.

“Alright Soundwave, let’s go continue this little-” Shockwave was stopped by Soundwave as he put his finger over his mouth plate and pointed towards some bushes shuffling

Shockwave kneeled down to the bush until the bush was covered in purple due to the glow from Shockwaves eye. As he leaned closer the bush, it stopped shuffling and he decided to have fun. “Boo.”

“Aah!” a filly’s voice yelled out from the bushes as it was the same filly from before as she tried to get away but was grabbed by Shockwave as he held her dangling by her tail in front of Shockwave’s eye.

“Soundwave, I thought you said no intelligent life was around?”

Soundwave activated his scanners again. “My scanners still cannot find intelligent life within the vicinity.”

“Hey, I’m smart!” the filly yelled out angrily.

“Well my little one, looks like you solved the mystery, congratulations I think you deserve a prize, don't you agree Soundwave.”

“You don’t scare me you one eye freak!”

“Very cute, a little child with an attitude. Now I believe its best for you to keep this encounter and our true selves a secret.”

“And why should I?”

“Because if you tell everypony about us, that will force us to do our mission much faster and we will just destroy your town and kill everypony in it. Think you can live with that on your conscious?”

“No…But what would you do if I kept my mouth shut, because I heard that you're taking over either way?”

“You’ll have just enough time to say goodbye to your loved ones if you do, and if you be a good girl and stay quiet I will consider sparing you and your friends.”

“Do you swear that if I stay quiet that me and my friends will stay safe, even after you take over?”

“I give you the word of the Decepticons that no harm will come to them.”

“Okay, I’ll stay quiet.”

“Good, that is the logical choice to make I'm so glad you came to that decision.” Shockwave said as he put her back down nicely to the ground. “Now go home and rest little one and remember. You talk and your friends will suffer the consequences. By the way before you go, may we know your name since you are the first to find out about us?”

“My name is Scootaloo and you won't get away with this, the princess will stop you and your boss.”

“I highly doubt that. Your princess will fall just like everyone else you know. Megatron yields to no bot and no pony.” Shockwave stated proudly. “Now go and Scootaloo…”

Scootaloo looked up at the Decepticon with hate as she can feel him smiling at her. “I hope we meet again tomorrow Scootaloo, but under different circumstances. After all, you and your friends lives depend on it.”

Scootaloo stared angrily but sighed as she walked away, leaving Soundwave and Shockwave alone.

“Shockwave?”

“Yes Soundwave.”

“We’re not really going to kill them, right?”

“Our orders are clear, if we have to then we will. Megatron will not tolerate insubordination, if we fail this mission. Now let’s head back, they’ll be looking for us soon. Besides I feel that tomorrow will be fun hehehe.”

Shockwave chuckled as he transformed back into his pony form an started to walk away. Soundwave did the same thing as he transformed into his pony form and followed Shockwave but walked slowly behind. “Something about this plan just doesn’t seem right, I don’t know why but it doesn’t feel right.”
