Chapter 15: Other Visitors

"What is the status of sector A-23.408?" a disembodied voice said.

"Operation unit 217B is tracking the fugitive." another voice said as a window in space opened and two entities resembling skulls looked into it.

"Perhaps it is time for us to take action." the first voice said.

"Indeed, we would not wish for this experiment to be ruined like the last, let us alert our operative." the second voice stated and they both faded into the surrounding light.

Prowl gunned his engine and plowed through the bushes that lined the edge of an old dirt road. Hitting his brakes hard he skidded to a sudden stop in front of a dilapidated house with a rather surprised older mare, wearing a old cloak and fancy hat, standing in front of it.

"What the hay is this about?" she questioned.

"Please, its an emergency!" Prowl shouted as his right door opened and his seat slid out with Rainbow laying on it caked in blood.

"Celestia have mercy, Rainbow Dash?" the pony yelled, no longer sounding older.

"She was badly hurt and I don't have the know how to help her!" Prowl said as he transformed.

"I'll get my medical kit, just make sure nothing else happens to her!" the pony ordered, to which Prowl merely drew his pistol and stood guard.

Optimus Prime stood silently behind Jazz as his shuttle set down softly upon a large clearing next to the large assembly of ponies and Autobots.

"What do you think is going on down there boss?" Jazz asked as he looked at his monitors.

"It seems that our brothers have found friends Jazz." Prime replied as he walked over to the door, his fellow Autobots in close pursuit.

"Yeah, lets just hope they can be our friends too!" the lieutenant replied as the door opened and the Equestrians greeted the four Autobots inside.

"Greetings friends, and welcome to Equestria, my name is Princess Luna." the alicorn regally called as the four Autobots slowly walked out of their ship.

"Greetings Princess, I am Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots, and custodian of the Matrix of Leadership." the red and blue Cybertronian proclaimed.

"A pleasure to make your acquaintance Optimus Prime, I am Princess Celestia. We owe your Autobots much already, but we are afraid that we are ill suited to fight the Decepticons." Celestia stated giving a small frown.

"Do not fear, we shall defend your people from any acts of aggression that Megatron may take against you." Optimus replied, looking over the assembly of his brothers and sister.

"You have our thanks." Luna added.

"Allow me to introduce my fellow Autobots, this is Jazz, he has acted as my Lieutenant since we first left Cybertron, Sunstreaker, a fine Autobot Warrior, and Sunstreakers brother Sideswipe, without him the other would be lost and vise versa." Optimus said, waveing his hand to each individual Autobot.

"Prime!" Jetfire shouted as he walked up to his leader with a salute.

Optimus nodded, "Jetfire, it is good to see you my friend."

"As it is you sir, Prowl is currently rescuing a pony who was taken by Insecticons, and we have massive casualties, but those of us still here are capable of combat." the Air Guardian reported.

"Yo Prime, whats the plan now that we know a bit more of our situation?" Jazz asked as the Autobot brothers walked away from the group and started talking to Warpath.

"Perhaps we should evaluate our situation further, Princesses if we may talk?" Optimus said as he began to walk ever so slowly with the Princesses in conversation, leaving Jetfire and Jazz behind.

"Think this will go well Jet?" Jazz asked.

"To be honest old friend, I don't know." Jetfire replied as he watched Lyra show a group of ponies her new hands as Blaster and Vynal bust out a fine tune.

"Um Scootaloo ah don't think we're supposed to be out here right now." Applebloom stated worriedly as they dodged the giants foot falls of the Autobots.

"You worry too much Applebloom!" Scootaloo practically yelled as she dodged another foot fall.

"Yeah, I think Appleblooms right Scootaloo." Sweetiebell said as she and Applebloom and her both backed away slightly.

"Huh?" Scootaloo questioned before a large red foot slammed down next to the three ponies.

"You know little fillies this really isn't the best of places for you!" Hot Rod laughed as he bent down and offered to let the ride in his hand.

"Oh sorry, we were just looking for Cosmos!" Scootaloo replied hopping up into the Autobots hand with her friends close behind her.

"I can take you to him if you'd like." Hot Rod offered as he stood up.

"Thanks!" a three fillies said in unison.

"Megatron." the communications officer stated with his monologist tone.

"Soundwave, report to me your findings." Megatron commanded.

"Autobot shuttle has landed in the nearby settlement, suggest operation, booby-trap." Soundwave implied as he turned his visor to look upon the massive gathering of the Autobots and ponies, many of whom he had learned through his observations were high ranking.

"Noted, operation booby-trap will commence shortly." Megatron replied before shutting off his comm-link.

"Buzzsaw eject, operation, evaluation." Soundwave ordered as the said yellow, black, and white Cassetticon flew out of his chest and transformed into a bird to go perform his duties.

"Onslaught, what were you thinking of trying to take down Megatron and his merry band of rebels?" Starscream yelled as he questioned the Combaticons who had formed a line in front of their leader.

"We saw an opportunity to destroy them sir, but..." Onslaught began but was cut off.

"But Megatron had surprises in store for you and your team. If it is one thing you should know, its that Megatron, for the fool he is, always has a contingency!" the seeker yelled as he turned away from his soldiers.

"So whats the plan boss?" Swindle inquired, stepping in front of the group a little.

"In one stellar cycle we will make our move on Megatron, I have discovered something in this facility that will give us the upper hand in the battle to come..." Starscream thought for a moment before he turned around, "That is all, take a rest."

The Combaticons didn't argue, each of them were happy that their leader hadn't taken more drastic action against them, but they were more elated to hear that they had a weapon that could even the playing field. The seeker merely smiled as his troops left the room, truly if anything, this was his master plan. On the monitors in front of him he could observe everything that was transpiring, the Autobots, Decepticons, Ponies, that strange tarantula, and the winged tiger, everything was falling into place.

Tigerhawk crouched down in his beast mode, his masters the Vok having just informed him of what he was to do. Tarantulas was his target, but he was also to remain unseen by the Cybertronians and Equines alike.

"I got the first aid kit!" a mare in a ratty old cloak yelled as she ran out of her home and towards a white and black Autobot.

"Good, my scanners indicate that we were not pursued by the Decepticons." the said Autobot reported as the mare knelt down to administer aid to the blue mare that Tirgerhawk had seen a few days ago.

"Damn, what happened to her?" she asked, stitching the pegasus' stomach close from what looked like a surgical insertion.

"The Decepticons thought that it would be nice to dissect her while she was still alive." he replied, anger in his voice.

"That's horrible." the ratty mare replied, showing signs of disgust in her own voice.

"Ung, Prowl?" the wounded mare moaned.

"Ms Dash, don't try to talk, you are badly hurt!" the transformer named Prowl commanded, only to be greeted with a smirk from the mare.

"Oh, hey Daring Doo, fancy meeting you out here." Rainbow Dash gave a small, pained, chuckle.

"Just shut up Dash, shut up and rest." Daring replied, a look of concern melting away at Rainbow's poor attempt at putting on a tough girl act.

"Will she be alright?" Prowl inquired as the cyan pegasus fell back to sleep.

"I've done all I can, Rainbow's a tough mare, she'll be fine." Daring Doo replied before taking off her disguise since it was blown anyways by her old friend, "You want to come inside?"

"I don't think I'd fit, but I can help you get her inside." Prowl replied with a small smile spreading across his face, glad that the mare would make a full recovery.

Daring laughed and began walking over to her house with prowl carrying Rainbow Dash right behind her.
