Spike sighed as the sun beat down on him and Twilight. Though his "mother" could raise and lower the sun, didn't mean he liked it. He gave a once over towards Twilight, who held a list in her hands.

"Why're we doing this again?" Spike asked, giving a disinterested look.

"Spike, I told you already, it's for the Summer Sun Festival. We need to make sure no mistakes are made, and everything needs to be perfect." Twilight said, before heard a grunt of irritation behind her.

"So, why did you bring me along? Your a princess, can't you do this without me?" Spike asked, making Twilight smile.

"Just because I'm a princess doesn't mean I can go looking for this stuff by myself. After all, I need my number one assistant." Twilight said, making the drake blush at the compliment. "Besides, ever since Tirek was defeated, it's been pretty hectic being a princess, I need some help."

"Well, we have to see how the food, decorations, and weather is going. Then, we'll have to find Mayor Mare to let her know the progress of said objectives."

"This is going to be a long day." Spike mumbled under his breath.

He had no idea how right he was. However, for right now, they were just doing some tasks that needed no worries about. Unless you were Twilight, of course.

Pinkie Pie's body started to spasm, making Rainbow Dash look at her. "So, what is it this time?"

"I dunno. I think it had something to do with a robotic T-Rex and a cosplayer." Pinkie replied nonchalantly, making Rainbow look at her, confused.

"A what and a who?" Rainbow Dash asked, but looked to her right to see Pinkie gone, and a note in her place. Rainbow looked to her left, then right, then shrugged. "I will never understand that girl."

She picked up the note, starting to read through it, her brow raising.

"Dear Rainbow Dash,

I sensed Rarity needed help with the decorations for the Summer Sun festival.

Your friend, Pinkie Pie."

"Yup, never will understand her." She said, before laying back on a cloud. A flock a birds screeched past her, making her cough and sputter. "Hey! What's the big idea!?"

Once the birds flew away, Rainbow Dash, covered in feathers, spit some out of her mouth, then looked at the distant birds. "Get back here, buncha of pea-brained, pile of feathers!"

In a flash, Rainbow Dash was gone, leaving behind a trail of colors. She didn't notice, however, the trees shakes, some of them falling from incredible power. A metallic howl was heard, the trail of the shaking trees growing closer.

Celestia looked at the massive statue of the legendary warrior, Grimlock. She sighed, thinking about how much she missed him. Even though he was rude, had no manners, and was trigger happy, he was still a friend of Celestia and Luna. How long had it been when she last saw him? A thousand years?

It didn't matter, she had a celebration to get to. "I miss you..." She said under her breath, then gave a smile at the words etched into the bottom.

"Me Grimlock-KING!"

She chuckled, remembering the odd way he spoke. He wasn't stupid, but, many thought so because of his way of speaking. Anyway, she started to walk down the hallway, before she heard a metallic roar in the distance. She gave a wide eyed stare towards the Everfree.

"No, it can't be..." Celestia said, the shaking trees moving more. "Not...him."

____________________

The ground shook as Twilight was talking to Applejack. She, however, didn't notice the shaking, neither did Applejack, but Spike noticed it. He looked down, the vibrations coming through his scale, padded feet. He looked up, this ear fins lowering.

"Uh...Twilight?" Spike started to say, looking higher.

"What is it, Spike?" Twilight asked, before she looked where he was looking, her smile turning into a frown as fast as Rainbow Dash's flying.

A tall, bipedal creature stood there, metal armor covering its entire body. One, large, yellow eye stood at the center of its head, purple lights coming out from multiple places on its body. One of its arms was a massive cannon, it's armor dark purple. A large sign was branded to its chest, looking dangerous.

"Greetings, organics." The cycloptic-robot said, it giving no expression. "I am Shockwave. I wish to speak to your highest ranked official."

Everyone stood still for a moment, hearing the roar of something. They looked to see a metal carriage, driving incredibly fast, then its external parts started to shift.

A strange sound came from its body, arms shifting into existence. Next, two legs started to form, slamming into the ground, wheels coming out of the back of them. It's body started to take form, the same sign appearing on its chest as it stood up. It's head took shape, coming out of its body, like a single screen took up its face.

It looked over the humans, its arm shifting into a cannon, the dark purple color appearing on its armor.

Twilight gulped, starting to walk towards the one called "Shockwave". Its large eye looked at her, the head nodding.

"So you are the highest ranked official in this small settlement?"

"Yes. Why?"

Suddenly, the cannon was aimed towards her, the low hum of it activating hitting the air.

"Good, we need somewhere to start." He said, the weapon ready to fire.

The sound of metal hitting metal made the cycloptic robot stop, then look up, seeing something fall from the skies. The object stopped, making everyone look in fear; it was one of the robots heads.

A metallic roar was heard, the sounds of something firing started to make themselves known. The one robot with Soundwave put his fingers next to where his ear would be.

"Report." The robot ordered, looking away. In a few moments, he seemed to look to Soundwave, out of fear, if Twilight could guess. "Alright, I'll tell him."

"Report." Soundwave ordered, before a loud roar was heard again, the screams of pain ripping its claws into the air.

"It's him sir." The robot said, his voice trembling with fear. "It's Grimlock."

Grimlock

A woman, bored out of her mind, sighed in silence. Her metal armor had been put to the side as she waited for someone. She had planned to going to a convention with her boyfriend, but he was taking too long to get his costume on.

"What's taking him so long anyway?" She thought to herself, making her look at the door.

Although she was a pegasister, she loved different things as well, other than My Little Pony. Movies, comics, games, just to name a few. Though, one of her favorite things, was one of the unforgettable series everyone knew; Transformers.

To be more precise, she loved Transformers because of the Autobots. No one could beat Bumble Bee or Optimus Prime, though, one of her favorite Autobots wasn't either.

Her thoughts were broken as she looked at herself in the mirror. She stood at six feet, two inches tall, her eyes were a ice blue. Her hair was dark brown, slightly short, her skin slightly tan, her body was slender thanks to her countless nights at the gym.

The door started to open, making her stand up, the sound of clanking metal meeting her ears. The figure stood at six feet, seven inches tall. His eyes, forest green, stared at her with no expression, his hair, a dark, messy brown, wasn't visible. His skin, tan thanks to his hispanic heritage, was hidden under his armor. He smiled, showing his fang like canine teeth, his build was slightly muscled, but not enough to be noticed at first glance. Though he was large, he was very intelligent, able to finish college at seventeen.

His armor was like a knight, back in the dark ages, the upper and lower jaws of a Tyrannosaurus Rex on his shoulders. On his chest, was the Autobot symbol, a staff in his right hand. His armor, although quite heavy, looked light on him, the man able to carry it as if he were walking with regular clothes on. He made the armor using his welding skills, impressing many he had shown. His helmet had a "horn" coming out of the top, his eyes peering out of the holes in the helmet.

"So...how do I look?" The man asked, giving a unseen smile.

"Wow, didn't think Grimlock from Age of Extinction would be so hot." She teased, causing him to blush and stutter. "Calm down Dart, I was just joking...partially anyways."

His name was Dartagnen Drake Agundez, 18 years old, and dressed as Grimlock from the Michael Bay movie, Transformers; Age of Extinction. The girl, dressing as Scorn, the new Spinosaurus Dinobot, was named Mary April Hunston.

He coughed awkwardly into his armored hand, his blush going away. "You can go get ready now."

"Finally! What took you so long? Got it stuck in the zipper?" She asked, making him have a coughing fit, making him blush more.

"That only happened once!" He said, making her giggle.

"Well, I'm surprised that it hasn't happened more. With how big-"

"Mary, trying to keep it sex free here." Dart said, making her roll her eyes.

"Whatever, let me go get ready."

Dart watched her walk away, making him smile.

He went out to the front room of their house, two people standing there. One was named Hunter Gerald Hellridge, and he was dressed as Strafe, the two headed Pteranodon. He stood at five feet, three inches tall, his armor shining grey, the Autobot sign showing on his chest. The heads of the Pteranodon were on his back, along with folded wings. His hair, which wasn't visible, was red, and his eyes were a dark brown. His skin was white from countless days at home.

His other friend, was named Terrence Titano Moore, who was dressed as the Triceratops Dinobot, Slug. His skin was tanner than Dart's, and his eyes were a dark blue in color. He was very intelligent, stood at five feet, ten inches, having black hair. His armor, the same grey as the others, with the Autobot sign on his chest. The Triceratops head was on his back, massive compared to Hunter's heads.

"So, we ready yet?" Hunter asked, ready to go.

"Almost, just gotta wait for Mary." Dart replied, gripping the staff in his hand. On one edge of it was Gravity Hammer like, blunt and destructive, the other side was blade like, Dart having to be careful with the heavy object.

"Wait for me?" Mary asked, already ready to go. Her helmet covered her face, a blue visor where her eyes should be. Her helmet looked like that of someone jousting. Her right arm, a tail of the Spinosaurus, was wrapped around her neck. The metal, gray like the others, had the Autobot symbol on her chest. On her arms were spikes, almost like teeth. On her back was the skull of the metallic Spinosaurus.

"Well, we're all ready." Dart said, making Hunter frown.

"So, who's driving?" He asked, making them look at him, glares assaulting him.

____________________________________

Dart got out of the back of the truck, too big to fit inside of it with his armor on. Stares were directed his way, seeming like a giant compared to everyone. As the other piled out of the truck, Hunter giving a smile.

"So, how was it riding in the back with no seat belts and without a roof?"

"It was cold. As Hell." Dart growled out, making Mary go up to him, hugging him.

"Sorry about that, baby. But we didn't have enough room for you." Mary said, before whispering in his ear, making him blush.

The sounds of coughing behind them made them look, seeing a person faint, others trying to fan him.

"Wonder what's wrong with him..." Dart muttered to himself, walking towards the entrance with the group.

As they entered, several groups looked towards them, gaping in awe or in silent surprise. Dart kept walking, before noticing the stares he was receiving. He ignored them, starting to walk forward, a comic book in hand.

On the front of the comic book, was the G1 Grimlock, breathing fire at Decepticons, crushing an Insecticon under his foot. He walked towards a booth, seeing the comic books of Transformers getting signed.

He gave a disinterested look, before something caught his eye; he looked to see a sword, but not just any sword. It's handle had the Autobot sign on it, the blade modeled like the Energon Blade Grimlock had. The blade was orange in color, shining proudly among the other blades, the grey handle having the carving of the Cybertronian language. The blade itself was see though, however, it wasn't weak when Dart flicked it, hurting his fingers through his metal armor.

Dart grabbed the hilt, weighing it in one hand, seeing that it was surprisingly light, and the handle fit perfectly in his hand, almost as if it were built for him. He swung it experimentally, seeing that it was perfect in his eyes. He looked at the blade's smooth texture, before a clearing throat cut him out of his thoughts.

He looked up, before seeing a man. He stood at five feet tall, and had a hood over his face, hiding his eyes, one snaggle-toothed fang poking out of his mouth. Dart felt like he shouldn't trust this man, however, thought it was the owner.

"Beautiful, isn't it?" The man asked, making Dart nod. "Made it myself, took four years to do it. Very expensive materials, but, it was worth it in the end."

"Perfect." Dart said to himself, eyeing the blade for any imperfections.

"She's for sale, and I think she has chosen you." The man said, confusing Dart.

"Chosen? No, I don't think its in my pay range. Seems too perfect for me, no offense, but, she's made the wrong choice." Dart said modestly, not wanting to ruin the chance for another buyer.

"She never makes the wrong choice, young man, and she has chosen you." The man said, giving a dark smile, though Dart didn't notice it. "She is not that much. All you have to do is sign this contract and she's yours."

Dart looked at the man, then back to the blade. "What's the catch?"

"Catch? No catch." Dart gave the man a unimpressed look. "Oh, fine. All that I ask is that you give me that Transformers comic book."

"That's it? Nothing else?" Dart asked, making the man nod. Dart inspected the blade, then smiled, shaking the man's hand. "Deal."

Suddenly, the man grabbed the contract out, and a pen, offering it to Dart. Dart grabbed the pen, then started to sign it, before the man chuckled, grabbing the comic book.

"Happy trails." The man said, making Dart confused.

"What do you mean?" The ground underneath Dart started to crack, before opening under him. He tried to grab something, only to see the ledge above crack, hitting his chest, making him fall into the crack.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!"

Savior

Dart awoke with a groan, his body aching. His head felt like for hammers hit it at the same time. He rubbed his head, giving another groan, the feeling of warm metal meeting him. His vision, blurry at first, tried to make out objects.

"Oh, by the Spark..." Dart muttered, giving a growl of pain as he did so.

He grabbed his staff next to him, giving a shake of his head. His brain was full of muddled thoughts, and his memory had been fuzzy. What happened to him? And why did he feel so...big?

Dart disregarded the last thought, remembering how tall he was in the first place. His chest ached, making him gasp in pain, then he looked around, seeing the shapes of trees.

He got up, shaking some stone off of his body. How it got there was beyond him. He looked around, seeing the trees were...smaller than he was used to. They only stood up to his knees, the tallest trees did. He looked back, seeing a broken statue of, what looked like...Grimlock?

"Hey guys?" He called out, looking around. He tried to walk, his legs straining a little, giving a groan of pain. "Guys, this isn't funny."

He kept walking, shaking his head, trying to clear the blurriness. He started to lean against a stone pillar, before it started to tip over, breaking instantly.

Dart moved just in time, giving a snort of confusion. That thing must've been solid stone, and he tipped it over with no problems whatsoever. He gave a groan of pain, walking forward, stumbling a little.

"Guys? Mary? I fell for your little prank, now come out and show yourselves!"

He looked at his hands, before noticing something; a green glow on them. He started to stumble towards a pond, before looking in. The reflection that stared back freaked him back. His armor looked much more realistic than before, some Cybertronian writing on some of the pieces.

His eyes glowed, looking more robotic, glowing a soft forest green. He looked over himself, the armor feeling lighter, almost like it was a part of his body now. He opened his mouth to talk, only to see his helmet open in multiple places where his mouth would be.

"Oh my God!" He yelled falling backwards, He crushed quite a few trees on the way down, grabbing at his face. "What happened to me?"

He looked at his mace, seeing parts move under his arms. He felt the dirt, finding it strange he could still feel it through the metal. He looked around, before cupping his hands, pooling some water, before he realized it was a small lake.

'Okay, if this water is real, when it hits my face, I should wake up.' Dart thought to himself, before splashing some water onto his face. When nothing happened, he tried several times, before dunking his head into the water.

He sighed in anoyance, backing away from the small lake. He perked up when he heard a scream, slowly getting up. He started to walk towards the sound, moving better, getting used to his new size.

Maybe if he helped this person out, they'll be able to help him change back. He didn't recognize this place anyway, they might know something he doesn't know.

He kept walking, seeing a small cottage...well, small now. He kept walking, seeing a woman with...angel wings? Her hair was pink, and she was wearing a green sweater. She wore blue pants, her soft, baby blue eyes staring in terror of what was in front of her. Her wings were a light yellow, flaring out in terror.

In front of her was a...Decepticon? It stood only up to his knee, but the cannon on his arm was enough to give him a clue. Purple lights moved from body parts, his dark purple armor showing. His red eyes were glowing, though a mask was covering where his mouth would be.

The Decepticon aimed his weapon, before he slammed his mace like staff onto the ground. That caught his attention, making him look up, trailing up his legs. Dart gave a rumbling growl, glaring at him.

He aimed his cannon, before Dart grabbed the Decepticon with one hand, then grabbed the other half with the other hand. He quickly pulled, ripping the poor Decepticon in half, then threw both halves into the forest behind him.

Dart then looked at the woman, who's name was Fluttershy, and kneeled down to her level, saying "I am sorry you had to see that."

She just fell over, making the sound of a goat bleeting, fainting on the floor.

Dart gave a nervous chuckle, before looking towards the town. He growled loudly, then started walking towards the town, glaring at some Decepticons.

One of them scrambled to get away, before the other started firing at him. Dart brought his arm up, in a feeble attempt to protect himself. When he felt no pain, he looked up to see a metal shield come out of his arm, blocking the blasts easily.

He gave a smile, then charged forward, slamming his staff into the Decepticon's chest, impaling him easily. He then kicked off the body, hitting the escaping Decepticon in the back.

"Oh, this is going to be fun." He said to himself, before stepping the two Decepticons, giving a happy chuckle.

Something burned his back, making him look back, hitting the attacker with his staff, slamming the Decepticon into the ground. Blue Energon circled around the bodies, Dart walking forward, not noticing the crowd gathering behind him.

He kept walking, before he saw a squad of Decepticons, them aiming at a group of small children. Dart gave a primal roar, then charged, the small children started crying at the Decepticons, before noticing the large, metal man heading towards them. It slammed its mace into one of the Decepticons, stepping on another, and punching a third at the same time.

The Decepticons started firing, trying to bring down the large Dinobot. It roared loudly, the shots seemingly not affecting it. It gave out a bellow, the large knight slamming another Decepticon into the ground. He kicked on away, making it lie next to the children.

Dart growled loudly, stabbing another Decepticon with the sharp end of his staff. The one he knocked away got back up, looking at the children, then Dart.

"Stop!" This stopped the large Dinobot, seeing the Decepticon aim its cannon at the children. "Stop it or I obliterate these small organics and-"

The staff slammed into the Decepticons chest, killing it instantly. Dart just threw it, saving the children, giving a victorious roar in the air. He walked towards the metallic corpse, pulling the staff out. He started to walk towards the center of the town, the crowd growing more behind him.

King

Dart gave a growl of annoyance, walking through the fire and smoke filled town. He looked around, unknowingly squishing an Insecticon under his massive foot.

"Hey, Dinobot! You remember me, me, me?" An annoying and shrill voice met Dart, making him turn around.

He found himself staring at the Insecticon, Kickback. His black and purple armor covering his entire body, red eyes glaring at Dart, also known as Grimlock. Multiple limbs came out of his back, part of his armor glowing purple.

"I remember you, Grimlock, lock, lock." His annoyingly echo voice rang in Dart's mind. "Do you remember me, me, me?"

"I have no problems with you. Leave me alone." Dart said, making Kickback laugh in his shrill voice.

"You obviously don't remember what you've done to my brothers and sisters, Dinobot, bot, bot!" Kickback said, standing in front of the large Autobot. "We'll tear you apart, like we did in the Sea of Rust for what you did!"

That sentence made Dart stop, his eyes starting to glow red. He shook with rage, then looked at Kickback, making the Insecticon regret what he said. Dart turned, then slammed his staff into Kickback's chest, roaring in the Insecticons face.

Dart grabbed the tiny Decepticon, well, tiny compared to his body. He then threw the Insecticon into a building, rubble, wood, and dust exploding out. He gave a primal, metallic roar of rage, walking forward, before ten large, metallic, beetle like Decepticons jumped on him.

"You aren't strong enough, Grimlock, lock, lock!" Kickback said, laughing annoyingly.

Suddenly, one of the bug like Decepticons was torn in half, being thrown at Kickback's feet. Blue Energon spilt at his feet, making the Insecticon leader look up. Dart was on his hands and knees, however, his sword started to show itself.

It started to come out of his hand, slowly changing and forming in his hand. The handle was formed, Cybertronian writing on it, the words meaning "Honor", but, Dart didn't care what the other words said right now. The blade, orange in color, slowly came out, forming easily. The large staff hit another Insecticon off, squishing it on the ground.

Kickback gave a terrified, girly scream as Dart slowly stood up. His massive frame towered over the other creatures, ignoring the pain of the small Insecticons on his body. He cut one off with his Energon Sword, the small Decepticon being cut in half with no problems.

Dart roared in anger, slamming his staffing into another, hitting the body away, making the Insecticon go flying. Dart roared out another challenge, shaking off the Insecticons.

"NO ONE STRONGER THAN GRIMLOCK!" Dart yelled, stepping on another Insecticon, impaling one with his sword and slamming his staff into a third at the same time.

Kickback screamed, jumping away, some Decepticons and Insecticons following him. Dart slowly started to calm down, his eyes slowly turning back to forest green, the sword turning off, then sliding back into his armor.

The Insecticon that went flying landed in front of Shockwave, blue Energon coming out of its wounds. It started to crawl towards Shockwave, holding a hand out, hoping, in some shape or form, Shockwave would help it. Its yellow eyes then shut off, its body going limp, finally dead.

Shockwave gave a unreadable expression in his eye, before he looked at the humans, seeing the Twilight. He then spoke in a strange, unknown language, and grabbed Twilight, making her scream in terror.

Spike tried to go after Twilight, however, a metallic roar made him stop, his emerald green eyes looking around for the source of the sound. He didn't notice the large figure walking towards them, the ground shaking a little.

"You summoned him here, didn't you?" He asked, making Spike growl in the back of his throat, the small drake giving the large Decepticon a glare. "You knew he'd be here!"

"What're you talking about?" Twilight asked, terrified beyond any reason.

Shockwave looked over her, then looked down at Spike, aiming his cannon at the young drake. It started to hum to life, then started to glow. Light started to gather at the tip, making Shockwave hum in a unreadable emotion.

"If you shall not tell me, then your little reptile here shall suffer." Shockwave said, before the sound of metal hitting metal met his hearing.

Shockwave looked up, before seeing a Decepticon body come through a pillar of smoke, mauled beyond recognition. A metallic roar shredded through the air, making Shockwave aim his cannon at the noise. The ground shook with impact tremors, Spike looking to see a puddle shake a little, the water making ripples.

A shadow was seen in the smoke, massive, and not happy. A rumbling growl was heard, the bipedal creature walking closer. A large staff was held in its hand, glowing green eyes piercing through the smoke.

It kept walking, the skull of a creature on its shoulders, a large, armored foot stepping into the sunlight, glinting proudly. It came out of the smoke, its armor resembling a knight in origin.

It looked around before looking at Shockwave, its eyes slowly turning red. It roared in anger, rushing forward, staff ready to impale Shockwave. "Shockwave!"

Shockwave aimed his cannon, firing a missile, ignoring the shocked Twilight. The monster ignored the missile, the attack doing nothing to him, only a small scratch on his chest piece.

It roared, before two Decepticons fired missiles with Shockwave, making the monster go into a pillar of smoke, everyones massive protector seemingly destroyed.

"Grimlock..." Twilight said to herself, before Shockwave laughed in victory.

"Look at your warrior. He is nothing but scrap now, and you shall join him, organics." Shockwave said, the Decepticons laughing with him.

Twilight jumped down, her wings slowing her down, before she gently set on the ground. Spike ran up to her, tears in his eyes, hugging her tightly. She hugged him back, looking sad.

The sound of metal stopped everyone, the smoke clearing to show a very angry warrior. The warrior roared into the air, before slamming its fists into the ground, its red eyes glowing brightly.

Its body started to shift, making a strange sound as it did so. Its body started to change more, his head disappearing into his body as metal piled on top of metal, forming something strange.

A massive tail sprung out, waving around behind it, its fists turning into massive, three toed, clawed feet, grey metal shining in the sunlight.

The skull of the creature disappeared, its body going horizontal, no longer upright. Small spikes grew on its back, its giant chest forming, showing a shining, proud symbol of the Autobots.

Its arms came out, two fingers, with claws. Though the arms were massive, they were laughably small compared to the rest of its body.

Its skull started to form, the Lower jaws slamming together, being split apart before. Two large horns sprouted from the back of its massive head, rows of sharp, metal teeth were shown, as its large head finally formed, a metallic tongue in its mouth.

It then raised its head, giving out a metallic bellow of anger, flames erupting from its mighty jaws. It then turned towards the three Decepticons, glaring at them.

"Impossible." Shockwave muttered, seeing the Tyrannosaurus Rex themed Dinobot. "It can't be...Grimlock!"

Grimlock roared into the air, before A squad of Decepticons started to join Shockwave, then aimed at Grimlock/Dart. Twilight and Spike saw the large monster snort out a plume of smoke, angry.

They had awoken a Knight of Destruction, the Legendary Warrior, a Dinbot, the biggest Autobot they knew. They had awoken...the King!

History Lessons

Grimlock sat down in the middle of the town, silently wondering what happened to him. What had happened to him? He was human one second, then, the next, he wakes up in an unfamiliar land becoming the Age of Extinction Grimlock.

These inhabitants knew who he was, and seemed to recognize him, and he had a massive headache just thinking about all of this. He shook his head softly, then looked down, feeling something tap his leg.

He found himself staring at Twilight Sparkle, the new Princess of Equestria, and found himself wondering what she was saying.

"Uh...Hello, giant, metal...dragon?" Twilight tried to greet, finding herself speechless in front of the massive warrior. "Welcome to Ponyville."

Dart/Grimlock only stared at her, before looking up, seeing Celestia wave at him. She seemed familiar, but he didn't know why. He felt the stares of the town on him.

"I'm one of the Princesses of Equestria, named Twilight Sparkle. And you are...?" Twilight introduced herself, waiting for the giant to respond.

The sound of parts clicking met her as he tried to think of something to say. He looked at Celestia and Luna, then back to Twilight, giving her a curious stare, seeing the wings on her back, despite her human appearance. "I'm Grimlock..."

Twilight jumped a little at the sound of his voice, hearing it. His voice was deep and if one could listen closely, they could hear a metallic undertone, and almost demanded respect without sounding like it.

This drew a chuckle from Celestia and Luna, a blush from Twilight. She noticed the knight like design of his body, but before she could ask anything else, Spike tapped her leg.

"Yes, Spike?"

"So this is the warrior you were talking about?" Spike asked, drawing a confused look from both Grimlock, Celestia and Luna. "Grimlock, the metal knight?"

"Seems kind of a brute to me, than a knight." Rarity said, walking towards Twilight. Grimlock noticed her milky white skin, her purple styled hair, her up tight voice and attitude.

"I'm no knight; I am a king." Grimlock answered the purple scaled dragon. "And I am not dumb, neither deaf." He gave a "small" glare towards Rarity.

"Ah'd hate to interrupt tha reunion." Applejack said, Grimlock quietly noticing her country tone and Stetson hat. "But we've gotta get rebuildin'."

Grimlock looked around, seeing the destroyed buildings, smoke coming from some parts of the city. If he could've blushed, he would've, feeling a little sheepish. He slowly got up, towering over the small humans, making a woman with rainbow hair and cyan blue wings snort at him.

"I could take him." Rainbow Dash muttered to the others.

"No, you can't." Celestia told her, making Rainbow fume. "After all, you can't fight one of Equestria's oldest allies. It'd be seen as treason, wouldn't it?"

"Princess, what are you talking about?" Twilight asked, before a rumbling growl sounded from Grimlock.

"I'll help rebuild your small...town?" Grimlock said, making quite a few construction workers happy and devastated at the same time. "I'll start at once."

The metal giant looked at the crowd of people, silently scanning them, before letting his massive staff shift itself into his arm, to make him less threatening to all of them. Somehow, it made him look even more dangerous to them, knowing he didn't even need a weapon to wipe out the crowd.

His glowing forest green eyes landed on Luna, almost as if asking silent questions. She shrugged, before walking towards Grimlock, patting his leg. Grimlock looked down at her, then back at Celestia. Luna started to walk ahead, Grimlock following her, his feet making the ground shake from under him.

"Looks like more than a few of us need a history lesson." Celestia said, more to herself than anyone else.

"Princess, what is Grimlock doing here? I thought he disappeared over centuries ago!" Twilight said, not noticing Rainbow, Applejack, and Rarity giving her confused looks.

Celestia sighed, rubbing the back of her neck, then replied, "Do you know the history of Grimlock?"

"Ah don't know anythang 'bout 'im. Someone needs ta explain themselves." Applejack replied, making Celestia quickly glance at Grimlock.

"Alright. Twilight, let's go into your castle. I need to explain some things to all of you. Rainbow Dash, go get Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie."

Grimlock looked at Luna, not knowing why she was so familiar. They kept this silence for a few minutes, before Grimlock "coughed" into his hand, catching her attention.

"What was it you wanted to talk about?" Grimlock asked, making Luna scan him with a critical eye.

"Last time we met, you didn't like to talk that much. And you weren't this big." Luna said, making Grimlock confused at what she said.

"Last time?" Grimlock thought, then looked at Luna. "Well, things change." He would play along with the Lunar Goddess.

"Usually, you don't." Luna said, making the large Dinobot snort in reply. "I've known you since Discord's ruling, Grimlock. You're much more wise than last time, actually speaking full sentences now."

Grimlock gave a metallic growl, hearing what she said. "I wasn't stupid before. I was just...changed."

"Like how you change into that beast?"

Grimlock gave a silent look her way, then looked up at the sky. "Yeah. Exactly like that."

________________

Once all the Mane Six were gathered, Celestia sat down, sipping some tea. Spike, however, was told to leave the room, much to his irritation, and the girls sat there, tense and preparing for what she had to say.

"It's time I let you out of the dark, girls." Celestia began, taking a deep breath. "Tell me, what do you know about the first Knights of Equestria, after the rule of Discord?"

Everyone looked at one another, giving each other strange looks. Almost as if they all read each others minds, they looked back at Celestia and all said "No." in reply. She sighed, sipping her tea.

"I must all tell you of a story. A story of the Knights of Destruction and Harmony." Celestia began, everyone listening in. She searched through her thousands of years of memory, before setting her tea down with a loud clink. That caught everyone's attention as she looked at her tea, seeing the brown liquid settle still.

"A long time ago, before the banishment of Luna and before Discord's rise to power, there were for knights; Strafe, Scorn, Slug, and Grimlock," Everyone felt shivers up their spine, noticing Celestia's usually motherly tone go neutral. "They looked like knights, but were so massive and possessed strange powers, and we knew they were no knights...at least, not any knights we knew of. They were alien to this land...to this world."

"Hold up a minute!" Rainbow Dash interrupted, catching everyone's attention, "This is interesting and all, but how did you know this? And how old is this guy, Gridlock?"

"It's Grimlock, and that, as well as many things, will be explained." Celestia answered, before she began again, "They were all different; Strafe commanded the power of flight, but unlike anyone had ever seen. Scorn was sharp as dragon teeth, and was an amazing swimmer. Slug was polite, but his specialty was stabbing his three horns into something. Grimlock, the leader...their King, commanded strength beyond measure, and had flame breath, hotter than dragon fire."

"We all thought them to be giant, metal dragons when we first met them, and Twilight saw why." All of the attention was turned to Twilight, making her blush. "They all could turn into strange creatures, but not by magic. They-"

"No offense, Princess, but that's impossible." Twilight said, every person at the table looking at her. "I mean, how could something...transform...without magic, besides Nature?"

Celestia gave a chuckle, once again gaining everyone's attention. "It actually has to do with their "organs", one in special called a T-Cog. It allows them to change forms, some could change into vehicles, some into weapons, others could change into animals, such as how Twilight saw Grimlock transform. He can change into a giant, metal creature that can breath fire, eat metal...along with half the city once."

They gained confused looks, but Celestia continued on, "Grimlock could change into a prehistoric creature, along with his allies, calling themselves the "Dinobots". Scorn could change into a two legged, giant, crocodilian creature with a mouth full of teeth and three "sails" on her back to boot. Slug had a large shield on his head, with an "Autobot" symbol on the middle of two massive horns, along with one smaller horn on his nose, and two spikes on his lower jaw. Strafe was the strangest one out of all of them. He appeared to be a two headed, two tailed dragon that could walk on his wings, though he had no arms to speak of, and was able to fly at incredible speeds."

A certain rainbow haired woman puffed her cheeks out, silently cursing, feeling a sting at her pride. "Despite how different they were, they seemed to be like family. They also were some of the best fighters anyone had seen in history. Even alone, Grimlock was able to take on Tirek and Discord on his own, and won."

That comment made everyone's eyes go wide, even Twilight's jaw dropped, Rainbow Dash feeling jealous instantly. Applejack whistled in respect, making everyone agree with her.

"Despite what we first believed, they were friendly, at least, everyone but Grimlock. In the past, he was not much of a talker, seemingly to love fighting more than life itself. However, that all changed after Luna got banished. One by one, the Knights disappeared, before finally Grimlock left, saying "he was needed elsewhere"." Honestly, I never though I'd see him again."

"But, Princess, if Grimlock is back, doesn't that mean...?" Fluttershy asked, making Celestia go wide eyed.

"Your right!" She stood up with such urgency the others almost fell back from pure shock. "If Grimlock's here, then that means..."

The others, besides Fluttershy were confused, but were voiced by Applejack, who asked, "What's it mean, Princess?"

Celestia looked at them, giving a fearful look. "If Grimlock is here, that means the Knights are back. And if they're back, someone brought them here for a reason."

The sound of a metallic bellow erupted from outside, catching everyone's attention. They all opened the doors of the crystal castle, seeing the metallic Tyrannosaurus Rex chasing a familiar God of Chaos. In all honestly, they've never seen Discord so terrified in his life, the jaws of the metallic behemoth snapping behind him.

The God of Chaos had light skin, with one massive eye. His pupils were black, the colors of his eyes were red and yellow, and he had one snaggle toothed fang hanging out of his mouth. His clothes looked mismatched, and one horn and an antler were on his head, along with a dragons wing and a birds wing on his back, and a reptilian tail from out from him.

Usually he was cheery, playful. Now, he was filled with horror and was terrified beyond comprehension. Grimlock breathed fire, just missing him in the air, singing his horn and antler's tips.

"Grimlock will crush puny God!"

Author's Note

グリムロックis Grimlock in Japanese

Chaos

Grimlock sat the with Luna, watching the clouds. Luna was silent, as the same was Grimlock, though, his mind was swirling with thoughts. He watched a cloud, shaped like a flower, pass by, before movement notified him of Luna.

He looked at hew, seeing her expression, which seemed to be a mix of confusion and happiness. He waited for her, hearing nothing but the birds chirping, the smoke finally stopping, destroyed buildings as far as the eye could see.

"Grimlock..."

Grimlock nearly jumped, hearing her voice. To think, he, a giant, metal knight that could turn into one of the most fierce creatures known to who knows how many races, jumped at the sound of a woman's voice.

"What brought you back?" She asked; it was a simple question, but Grimlock couldn't really answer it.

Back? He had come here before? If he had, he didn't remember it. He would probably remember becoming one of the most deadly Autobots alive in a human version of My Little Pony. Who wouldn't remember that?

Although it was the simplest question anyone could answer, Grimlock was stumbling onto his words. His eyes started to wander, before looking back at Luna. She read the look in his eyes, then smiled silently.

The sound of crumbling met Grimlock as he looked up, seeing a building creaking on its weight. He then looked up, hearing it crumble to pieces.

"I wish I could answer that." Grimlock stated, making Luna confused.

"What do you me-"

POP!

"Hey Lulu, I just wanted to come here and...and...and..."

Discord looked to his right, seeing the giant, metal man known as Grimlock. He gulped nervously, then gave a terrified smile, seeing Grimlock's eyes slowly start to glow red.

"Hey Grimmy." A metallic growl met him back, seeing Grimlock stand to his full height. He gulped nervously, then started to sweat, "How've ya been? What's it been, a thousand years?"

Grimlock released an angry bellow, his staff coming out of his hand. He then swung the blunt end towards Discord, who quickly floated up, giving a sigh of satisfaction, before he screamed like a little girl, seeing it swung at him again. Discord quickly teleported out of the way, making Grimlock even more angry.

"COME BACK HERE AND FIGHT, PUNY GOD!" Grimlock roared out, chasing Discord, who was screaming like a little girl the entire time. "ME WILL RIP YOUR PUNY SPARK OUT!"

Luna rubbed her forehead, seeing Grimlock chase Discord. "Faust give me strength..."

Grimlock gave a metallic bellow, saliva hitting the ground as he slammed his staff into the ground, narrowly missing the poor God of Chaos. Discord stopped, gasping for air, before feeling a blast of hot air on his back, before disappearing, making Grimlock enraged.

"YOU MAKING GRIMLOCK ANGRY!" Grimlock stated, before he slammed his staff again, then trying to punch him another time. "AND YOU DON'T LIKE GRIMLOCK WHEN HE'S ANGRY!"

Discord stopped, seeing he was tired, giving a sigh. Hearing the titan's footsteps grow closer, Discord picked up the closest thing to him and used it as a shield. However, what he grabbed was a baby, Grimlock giving a grinding growl at the sight. Discord chuckled a little, before Grimlock reached forward, making Discord teleport, the baby drop, screaming a little.

However, the feeling of warm metal made the baby stop screaming, seeing Grimlock catch the baby. Grimlock's eyes started to glow forest green briefly, the baby laughing and cooing in his massive hand. If he could, Grimlock would've smiled at the sight. Grimlock gently put the baby back into its carriage, then started to run after Discord.

The baby's parents watched as one of the most destructive and deadly beasts just handle their baby like...well, a baby. They quickly checked the baby for and cuts or bruises, before smiling, seeing their child was alright. They silently thanked the giant, metal king, before returning to their business.

Grimlock slammed his fists into the ground, roaring in anger. His roar then was drowned out by the sounds of metal moving and crashing together. His staff shifted into his arm, before his hands started to turn into metallic, bird like feet. His body started to turn and shift, his head disappearing into the mass of moving metal. His legs turned into his massive tail, swinging behind him, looking dangerous, even if it was a tail. The large body was formed, two massive arms with two fingers came out, but they looked laughably small compared to the rest of the body. Spikes started to form on its back and down its tail. The upper and lower jaws clicked together, before the split lower jaws formed together, teeth shining as it finished its transformation, a metallic tongue showing in its jaws, along with a red glow. Horns sprouted from the back of his head, giving him an even more fierce appearance, the Autobot sign on his chest, and on the top of his head, between the two horns, shining proudly in the sunlight.

Grimlock roared into the air, flames spewing from its maw, harmlessly disappearing into the air. He then started to rush forward, Discord screaming along the way, Grimlock biting at his tail. Discord quickly withdrew his tail, giving a frightened yelp as a few scales were picked off by its metallic teeth.

"Grimlock will crush puny God!"

Red eyes glared at Discord, before it let fire flow from its maw, Discord teleporting, seeing the flames disappearing in the air. He snorted smoke, before looking around, his eyes scanning the crowd who had stopped to watch.

He let out a roar, before a whistle drew his attention. He looked to the side, seeing Celestia, Twilight, and five other women. He slowly walked towards them giving a metallic bellow from its jaws, a little sprout of flames showing.

Celestia watched as Grimlock's massive Tyrannosaurus form walk towards them, before hearing heavy breathing behind her. She looked behind her, seeing Discord, who was out of breath.

She then heard the angry roar of Grimlock, seeing him inhale, ready to breath fire, before Fluttershy flew in front of his snout, giving him "The Stare".

"No! That is a bad Grimlock!" Grimlock stood still for a second, before he started to cower a little, giving soft, metallic whimpers, looking ashamed. "You do not pick on people lower than you, even if it is Discord."

"But he-"

"No buts, mister!" Fluttershy scolded, making Grimlock whimper more, before looking down. She started to pet his snout, giving a soft smile, "Just because someone makes you mad, doesn't mean you have to attack them."

Grimlock gave a growl of satisfaction as she started to scratch at the back of his head, scratching between his two horns. His tongue lolled out, before he promptly fell on the ground, his right leg shaking in the air. He snorted out some smoke, giving another happy growl.

Celestia blinked in surprise, seeing the unstoppable metal, Dinosaur taken down by Fluttershy.

"Well, that was interesting." Twilight said, making Discord chuckle.

"Well, she did talk down a dragon before." Rainbow Dash muttered loudly, making them all nod.

"But that beast?" Rarity asked, before hearing Grimlocks loud snarl.

"Me, Grimlock, no beast!" He half yelled, half growled out, making Rarity sweat nervously.

"My bad, dear."

Calm

It had only been a day since Grimlock had come to the quiet town. However, the town was making massive strides in recovering from the Decepticon attack. What would take, what was estimates, a year and a half to rebuild, seemed more like three months of repair, thanks to the massive, metal Autobot.

It was early morning, people searching what remained of their houses, but Grimlock stayed up all night to help survivors out of the crumbles of their used to be homes. Most people panicked, but after Grimlock had dug up most of the survivors, they started to warm up to him. He would easily pick up a ton of debris to help the trapped people underneath.

Luckily, no one had died from the attack, only dozens of injured, the hospital would have a field day, but, for right now, everyone was just happy to be alive.

One thing that needed to be taken care of, was the corpses of the Decepticons that were scatted on the town. Discord had a quick solution, taunting Grimlock, making him turn into his Tyrannosaurus Rex mode, before Discord popped out of existence.

Grimlock was angry, his eyes glowing red, but, he ate the metallic corpses, almost as if he did it before. Blue Energon sometimes spilled out onto the ground, Grimlock's teeth making short work of the Decepticon bodies.

The Insecticons, which Grimlock hated, were instantly eaten, Grimlock growling and sniffing the air, walking along, watching for more corpses.

Fluttershy shook a little as she saw the ripped in half Decepticon on her front lawn. Luckily, the body was far enough not to be worrisome for her animal companions.

Grimlock, however, did come, eating the corpse. He started with the upper half of the body, lifting his head, swallowing it whole, much like a bird, Fluttershy noticed. He snorted out some smoke, before grabbing the second half of the body, eating it whole.

Grimlock gave a metallic bellow, a short spout of flames going into the air. He then started to walk away, Fluttershy giving a shudder, seeing how he ate the metal creature so easily, before she started to feed her animal friends, trying not to think of the giant, metal behemoth roaming around town.

Grimlock, still in Tyrannosaur mode, kept walking searching for the metal bodies of Insecticons or Decepticons. His thoughts turned back to Kickback; why is he here? Shockwave was understandable, but the Insecticons and Kickback were on Shockwave's side?

Thinking about it made his head throb, so, he searched for a tree to lie under. He felt something tap his leg, making him turn his tooth covered maw towards the interruption. There stood a small girl, a bow wrapped in her hair, looking at Grimlock with big eyes, full of wonder and curiosity.

"Well, hiya mister dragon, sir." She greeted with a country accent, making the giant, metallic T-Rex snort out some fumes. "Mah name's AppleBloom. An' ya'll are...?"

Grimlock turned to AppleBloom, towering over her easily. He searched what he should greet her with, before finding a right answer.

"Me Grimlock." The large Tyrannosaurus rumbled out, his voice deep, almost like a king should sound.

"Nice tah meet ya, mister Grimlock!" She said cheerily, making Grimlock chuckle, his red eyes turning back to forest green.

His body then started to shift back, scaring AppleBloom a little, before Grimlocks hands started to form. His legs hit the ground, his chest and shoulders forming, the Tyrannosaurus head on both shoulders, his fingers appearing along with his hands. His chest had the Autobot symbol appear on it, his head coming out of the moving mass of moving parts and metal.

He then started to stretch, towering over Applebloom, making her go wide eyed. He could easily take on Spike, when he turned into his Greed Growth form, nicknamed "Spikezilla" by both Applejack and Rainbow Dash.

Grimlock looked down at Applebloom, using his large, metal hand to pet her gently. He then stood up, walking away, Applebloom following the Autobot.

He kept walking, knowing Applebloom was there by the heavy panting next to him. He glanced at her, a little worried.

"Gee, for such a big guy, ya'll move fast." She joked, gasping a little as she ran, trying to keep up with his massive strides. He started to slow down, allowing her to walk, before he stopped, allowing her to catch her breath. "Mister Grimlock, where ya'll headin'?"

"To help whoever is in need of it." Grimlock replied, knowing the repairs would start tomorrow. "A King must help his subjects, must he not?"

"Ah'm sorry tah break it tah ya, but ya'll ain't a king." Applebloom said, making Grimlock turn to her, a playful glint in his eyes. "Princess Celestia is tha ruler. She's over a thousand years old."

"Child, do you know my age?" He asked, kneeling down, allowing her to not have to fall down if she wanted to look at him. She shook her head, making Grimlock chuckle. "You're Princess may be a thousand, but she is considered a Sparkling where I come from."

"Then, how old are yah?"

"I lost count after Lockdown captured me." Grimlock said, more to himself than anyone else, his eyes glowing blue for a brief second. "However, I'm over 25 million years old, if my math is not wrong."

Applebloom's jaw dropped, unnoticed by Grimlock as he stood up, walking slowly, so Applebloom could catch up. "You're 25 million years old?!"

"I said I lost count."

Grimlock didn't need to look at her face to see she had dropped her jaw, before he looked up, noticing a dark shape move between the clouds. He glared at the something big flew down, landing in front of the town.

It was a dragon! It had a massive, red scale covered body. It's spines were a orange, and its face held an arrogant smirk. His eyes were red, having massive wings, and a serpentine like neck and tail. It's lower jaw was larger than its upper one, and it gave an tone of 'fun' no one would like to participate in.

"OH SPIKE!" It called out, not noticing Grimlock walking slowly behind him. "Remember me, human?" It said the last word with laced venom, as if it knew Spike were a dragon, but he called him a human anyway.

Spike ran out, his little body visible, before it stopped dead in its place. A shiver ran up Spike's spine as he heard the voice, looking up to see an evil, hungry smile on the dragon's face. "G-Garble?!"

"That's right, it's me. I remember you, little hatchling." Garble said, before snarling at Spike. "I became a laughing stock, stopped by a hatchling and his human friends. Those hwo feared me now laugh at me, and those who loved me disowned me. All because of you!"

Garble's nostrils were now pumping out smoke, before a trail of rainbow flew around his head. Garble glared at it, like it was a fly. Grimlock kept walking forward, his eyes glowing red a little.

"And now..." Garble said, before cackling evilly. "I'm here to take everything away from you." Garble said, before looking over, smiling as he saw a familiar face; Twilight. He reached out, and it was too late before Twilight noticed Garble, being held in his massive, clawed hand.

The rainbow blur flew at him, before stopping at his snout, Rainbow Dash kicking his snout, doing nothing but make him growl. His other massive hand grabbed her, holding both out, eyeing them like candy.

"Let's start with roasting these two!" Garble said, inhaling, before Grimlock tapped his shoulder with his finger. Huh? What do you wa-"

Garble was interrupted as Grimlock sent his fist into the dragon's face, knocking out teeth, blood coming out of his jaws. He sent the dragon flying, both Twilight and Rainbow falling. They gave terrified screams, before Grimlock grabbed both of them with one hand, setting them on the ground.

"Are tiny humans okay?" Grimlock asked, his glowing red eyes gazing upon them. They both nodded, before Grimlock stood up, standing the same size as Garble. "Good. Now me going to crush puny dragon!"

Grimlock looked at Garble, who was getting up, glaring at him. Garble released a small spout of flames, but they rolled over Grimlock's chest like nothing. Grimlock started to walk forward, his massive staff extending out, gripping it in both hands, Garble backing up a little in fear.

"Who-What are you?" Garble asked in fear, before Grimlock started to laugh, looking at Garble with amusement evident in his eyes.

"Me Grimlock," Grimlock announced, for all to hear, everyone waiting for what he had to say next. "BADASS!"

Dinobot and Dragons

Garble snarled at Grimlock, before spitting some blood out. Grimlock readied his massive staff, Garble roaring at Grimlock, who bellowed out a reply.

Garble's nostrils poured smoke, but Grimlock kept glaring at him, unafraid of the dragon. Garble roared, rushing forward, only to have the blunt end of the mace hit his stomach, causing him to fall to the ground, the breath leaving him.

"You dare hit a dragon, filthy creature?" Garble snarled out when his breath was returning. Grimlock only slammed his staff into Garble's head, hitting him away from Ponyville.

"And you dare to insult Grimlock; a King?!" Grimlock snarled out, before a stream of red fire hit his chest.

Grimlock didn't pay any attention to that, as it did nothing more than leave a black mark on his armor. He wiped the black mark away, growling loudly, walking forward, his staff dragging on the ground. Garble charged forward, tackling Grimlock to the ground, bringing both giants into a small field.

Garble roared, punching Grimlock's face multiple times, Grimlock lying there, taking the "punishment". Garble then breathed a torrent of fire on Grimlock's face, leaving a smoking helmet and closed eyes. Garble started laughing as he got up.

"Is this the best you namby-pamby humans got? A metal ego with a staff that can't even speak properly?!" Garble asked, laughing more, before a metal hand grabbed his throat.

"That tickled." Grimlock stated, the humans that were terrified, now relieved, to see the giant metal man had not been harmed. Grimlock used his free hand to punch the dragon in the face, knocking some teeth loose.

Grimlock then picked up Garble, throwing him across the field, sending dirt and grass exploding out in a shower. Spike and Twilight watched from the edge of town, worried about Grimlock. Grimlock slowly walked up to Garble, his massive sword coming out of his other hand.

Garble used his tail, grabbing Grimlock's arm, then pulled the metal man forward. Garble then bit onto Grimlock's shoulder, trying to break through his tough, metal, Cybertronian skin. Grimlock freed his arm, then slashed his blade across Garble's chest, making the massive dragon roar in pain.

Now that the dragon wasn't biting him, Grimlock slammed the blunt end of his staff into the dragon's side, sending him sideways, then on the ground. Garble looked down, amazed and angry at what he saw; a clear, massive, single gash across his chest. The sword cut right through his dragon scales, which could withstand lava, and actually drew blood.

"You actually cut through my scales?! I'll roast you alive!" Garble spat out, before hitting Grimlock with his tail, sending the giant into a small lake.

Grimlock stood up, giving a metalic below, both weapons going back into his hands. He started to run forward, jumping, small jets of fire coming from his feet, alllowing him to raise himself highed, before drop kicking the dragon. Grimlock then landed on his feet, then tackled Garble, punching the dragon in the face.

Garble roar, slamming Grimlock into the ground, punching his face, them slamming both of his fists onto Grimlock's face, sending his head into the ground. Grimlock grabbed Garble's neck, throwing him away, then got up, growling in anger. Grimlock gave out a metallic bellow, Garble giving a roar of his own.

Grimlock let his staff out of his hand, before throwing it at the dragon, slamming it into his chest. Garble felt the wind get knocked out of him, before he slammed into a small hill behind him. Grimlock then cracked his knuckles, somehow, then walked forward, before a massive blast of fire hit Grimlock, making him roar in surprise. He looked behind him, seeing two more dragons. One was purple, having golden hair, and was fat. The other was color as white as ice, though its frills were pink.

Grimlock made a small movement, making the dragons flinch back. Grimlock then started to chuckle, before going into a fit of laughter. The two dragons looked at each other, seeing the Cybertronian get up, wiping-what seemed to be-a tear from his red eye.

"This best puny dragon got? Humans put better fight than you." He said, before seeing the dragons growl menacingly. "Who want to go first? Fat one or girly frills?"

The ice dragon snorted smoke, his massive, pink horns swaying side to side, before charging, ready to impale the Dinobot. Grimlock smiled, before picking up his staff, inspecting it for a moment, then kicked the dazed Garble out of the way. The dragon got closer and closer, before Grimlock, satisfied at his weapon, swung it, hitting the dragon away unknowingly.

The dragon slammed snout first into the ground, Grimlock looking at the dragon. It slowly started to get up, before Grimlock grabbed one of its horns, then hit it again with the blunt end of his staff, breaking off the horn he was grabbing. The dragon roared in pain, before Grimlock hit the dragon away.

Grimlock roared, before being tackled by the fat dragon, making the massive Dinobot fall to the ground. Grimlock roared, before elbowing the massive dragon in the stomach. Seeing the dragon get off, he grabbed the dragon's head, then knee'd it in the face, causing blood to spill out with a sickening crack.

"Run, humans! No one hurt while Grimlock fight! Me distract them long enough!" Grimlock bellowed out, before punching the pink frilled dragon in the face, then tackling the dragon down.

Spike gave a confused look, before seeing Twilight start to evacuate the citizens away. The pudgy dragon looked back at Grimlock, seeing the giant pull the fat dragon off of him, before the ice colored on tackled his back, making the giant fall down. The two dragons started to pound on the Dinobot, angry roars echoing out, along with the sounds of scales hitting metal.

Garble started to rise, wiping the blood off of his jaw, before seeing Twilight. He gave a happy snort, before grabby the princess, who screamed.

"Look, I've got the namby-pamby human princess." He said, giving a sickening grin, before licking his lips. "I wonder what human tastes like..."

Twilight shot a spell from her hands, hitting Garble in the eye, making him roar in pain and rage. She flew out of his hands, seeing the massive dragon rub his eyes, annoyed.

Garble suddenly grabbed the woman, then opening his jaws. One of his eyes was pink and blood-shot, fires burning in them. "You're going to regret that, human..."

Twilight screamed, making Grimlock give a metalic growl. Grimlock suddenly roared in anger, a orange glow surrounding his massive body. He kicked the ice dragon off of him. He then bit onto the fat one's body, then flung him off. Grimlock got up, giving a massive bellow as he did. His hands slammed into the ground, before his body begn to shift and turn.

Metal hitting metal, gears and mechanical parts making clicking sounds as his body morphed. His hands turned into bird like feet, before clawing at the ground. Grimock's head went into the moving pile of body parts, before a tail sprung up, waving around behind him manacingly.

Grimlock's chest started to form, showing the proud symbol of the Autobots, grey and shining in the sunlight. Two massive, but small, two fingered arms sprung from his body, before the massive upper jaw of the T-Rex formed. The two halves of his lower jaw slammed together, before displaying rows of sharp, metal teeth. He opened hois massive maw, showing the inside of his throat, which started to glow orange from the pure heat.

Grimlock's two horns shown themselves, before Grimlock snorted out smoke, smoke billowing from the back of his body, before it stopped. Garble and the other two dragons looked at the Dinobot, frightened. Grimlock's red eyes stared directly into Garble's eyes, before Grimlock opened his jaws, a metallic bellow echoing out.

Grimlock started to charge forward, breathing flames as he did so. The pillar of flames hit Garble straight in the chest, making him drop Twilight. Twilight flapped her wings opened, slowing her descent, before she started to run. Grimlock stepped over her protectively, seeing the three dragons shake off the earlier attacks.

Grimlock roared in anger, before seeing the white dragon charge forward, one horn and half of the other showing itself. Grimlock lowered his head, running forward.

They met in the middle, before Grimlock twisted off the other horn, his metal ones making the dragon's horn fly off. The dragon roared in pain, before Grimlock headbutt his chest, sending him flying into the small lake.

Grimlock turned, before seeing the fat dragon run towards him. Grimlock felt the dragon bite his shoulder, carrying the metal Tyrannosaurus with him. Grimlock's two tiny arms clawed at his neck, tearing scales off and flesh, making the dragon bleed. The dragon then felt his shoulder get bitten, before Grimlock tore the dragon off of him. Grimlock bit harder, making the fat dragon roar in pain. Grimlock shook his head, then threw the fat dragon, making it land in the middle of the field.

Grimlock looked around, before Garbe jumped on Grimlock's back. Grimlock roared, before starting to run, trying to get the dragon to get off. Garble held firm, but, didn't expect for Grimlock to jump. Grimlock turned, then landed on his back, landing on the poor dragon. Garble slowly got up, before being pushed down by flames, Grimlock breathing fore on the dragon.

Once he stopped breathing fire, Grimlock saw his chest smoking, the dragon still living. Grimlock raised his three toed foot, and put it on the dragon's chest, giving a metallic growl.

"Next time, me no go easy..." Grimlock said, before transforming into his robot form. "Grimlock is King!" Grimlock roared in triumph, before kicking Garbe away.

Garble got up, before looking at the Dinobot, fury in the dragon's eyes. "You'll regret messing with a dragon, filthy worm..." He limped off, the other two dragons following their leader.

Air Assault

Grimlock watched as the dragons limped away. Grimlock raised his massive helmet to the air, giving a metallic bellow of victory. Everyone watched as the massive Dinobot claimed victory, no one daring to challenge this cry. Once Grimlock finished roaring, he allowed his weapons to go back into his arms.

He started to walk away, before his knees buckle under him, causing him to kneel, making him groan in pain. Spike started to sprint as fast as his small body allowed him, making him enter the giant's vision.

"Grimlock!" Spike yelled, making the giant's massive red eyes turn to green in a flicker. Grimlock looked at the dragon, before snorting out smoke. A few small fumes of smoke billowed out of Grimlock's body. "You okay?"

Grimlock started to get up, before falling down, making a groan as he did so. He then slowly got up, then sat down, giving a metallic sigh. "I'm fine..."

Twilight walked over, making Grimlock's eyes turn to her, making her gulp nervously. He did take on three dragons at once. Something only another dragon could do.

"I'll just rest for a minute." Grimlock assured, before noticing the growing crowd of people surrounding him. "I said I'm fine-" He was interrupted by a cheer, making him feel warm inside.

"The Hero of our town!" A random woman shouted, making Grimlock rub the back of his neck.

"Let's have a party!" Pinkie Pie yelled, other cheering in agreement. "I'll get the supplies!" Suddenly, she disappeared, leaving a Pinkie Pie shaped dust cloud.

The crowd started to trickle out, leaving only AppleBloom, Applejack, Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Spike, and Rarity.

"Are you okay, darling?"

"Nothing some Energon won't fix." Grimlok muttered, before trying to get up, groaning.

"Don't strain yourself. You'll just make your injuries worse." Twilight advised, before Grimlock got up, fully standing over them.

"I'm tougher than I look." Grimlock stated simply, before going to help with the repairs.

Four glowing, blue eyes were staring at him as he walked away, giving a small snicker. "That's Dart alright." Suddenly, the blue eyes looked up, seeing eight jets roar by, making him snarl silently. "Show time."

Grimlock heard the roar of jets, making him growl, his eyes flickering to blue, before beggining to turn red. He looked up, seeing Decepticons fly by, firing their Energon cannons at a building. Grimlock quickly went into the Energon, it hitting his back, but not hitting the building.

"We found the Dinobot!" One spoke in Cybertronian, its scratching voice, making the others swing around. They arted to make a strafing run, firing purple bolts of energon. Purple energon and bullets hit Grimlock, making him inhale loudly, before releasing an anger filled bellow.

One of them landed, a Gattling Gun in its hands, the massive gun spinning to life. Grimlock raised his arm, a massive shield sprining up, the energon hitting the metal, everyone hiding in their homes. Energon hit Grimlock's back, making him turn, seeing three jets fly by, four of them flying around the town, the roar of them passive by made everyone terrified.

Grimlock roared, before moving forward in the hail of Energon, before two more Decepticons landed beside this one, firing bullets at the shield. This slowed the massive Dinobot, but it did not stop him. He kept walking, before hearing a fourth land behind him.

"Give up, Autbot scum! Or else we will tear this town apart!" It spoke in Cybertronian, making Grimlock snarl, small fumes of smoke bilowing from his body every so often.

The hail of Energon stopped, then Grimlock put his arm down, the shield going into his arm, making him snarl. He was too weak to fight off all of them right now. If only he had some back up, he'd take these low life Decepticreeps down...

Suddenly, the Decepticon's arm turned into a cannon, aiming towards a random civilian. "Kill them!"

The cannon started to heat up, the three Decepticons turning in the sky, the other three aimed at random buildings. Before they fired, they heard the flapping of wings, before one of the Decepticon jets crached in front of them, heavily clawed and one wing was torn off. Energon spilt from open wounds, the spark obviously destroyed.

A haunting, metallic scream came from the air, as a blur hit one of the Decepticons, tearing its head off. Suddenly,, it took off, holding another in its claws, massive, metal wings flapping at an incredible speed.

The massive, metal creature anded, the dust clearing to show another one of these strange Cybertronians. It was walking on all fours, much like a bat. the proud symbol of the Autobots was on its chest, twin tails behind it. The strange thing about this creature-other than the glowing eyes and mouth-was that it had two heads. Metal beaks with sharp teeth in them. Both head tore at the Decepticon in its claws, before turning to Grimlock.

"Strafe?" Grimlock said, before the Dinobot Pteranodon lit up, its eyes showing joy.

"Yo, Dart! Am I glad to see you!" It called out, twin voices coming out. Strafe turned to the two flying Decepticons. "You takes the ones on the ground, I'll take the flying ones."

It's massive wings opened, casting a shadows, then it launched itself into the air, leaving six, long gashes into the Decepticon corpse. Grimlock, seeing the Decepticons were distracted, picked up a pistol from the ground, since a Decepticon dropped it. He then started to fire, red beams of Energon hitting the Decepticons. It hit the lying one straight in the chest, taking its spark out.

The last one on the ground, started to fire it's Gattling Gun at him, making Grimlock drop the pistol, raising an arm, the shield ejecting out. The Energon hit Grimlock's shield, before Grimlock's sword come out of his right hand, making him snort happily. He charged forward, roaring.

Strafe jumped onto one of the jets, pecking at it with both beaks, tearing into its metal wings. It swerved, trying to get him off, however, Strafe's metal claws dug into its armor, making the Decepticon screech in pain, Energon flying out of the wounds. The other jet came from behind, before on of the Strafe's heads turned to it. It screeched, before Strafe jumped out of the way, the Decepticon shooting his comrade instead.

"Watch it!" The Decepticon caled, before Strafe cung onto him again. He bit into the underside, exposing the Decepticon's spark. He then stabbed his beak into it, then jumped off, seeing it drop like a rock.

Grimlock swung, hitting the Decepticon's gun, cutting it in half. The Decepticon pulled sword of his own out, smirking. Grimlock roared, then swumg again, before both swords met in the middle. Grimlock started to push the Decepticon, before hearing something falling behind him. He looked, then saw the jet, failling sraight at him. He jumped out of the way, however, the Decepticon wasn't so lucky.

The jet impaled the Decepticon, killing him instanly, sending both into a smoking crater. Grimlock smiled, both shied and sword returning into his hand. He looked up, seeing Strafe fly around, the jet on his tail, firing Energon at him. Grimlock then felt his staff come out of his hand, before lifting it over his shoulder.

"Grimlock, I can't shake him!" Strafe yelled in his radio, one head turning back, before ducking, a missile flying where it was a moment ago. "Whatever you're gonna do, do it fast!"

Suddenly, the jet was impaled by Grimlock's massive, staff like weapon. The jet started to fall, making Strafe slow down, his massive, metallic wings flapping.

"Your welcome." The radio sputtered, making Strafe roll his eyes, then head towards Grimlock. Grimlock, the massive Dinobot himself, walked towards the jet, then pulled his weapon out of it, tearing the jet in half.

He raised his head to the sky, releasing a bellow, the citizens coming out of their hiding places. The dead, metal corpses of Decepticons showed them that the King hadn't failed.

Legends

The sound of a sigh met the ear fins of a young dragon. He looked up to see his adoptive sister, Twilight sparkle, a bipedal mammal called a 'human', staring at a book.

The title, not seen, read "Legends of Warriors", though she was searching for one chapter in particular. Her black hair had a purple highlight in it, her skin white from staying in and reading who knows how many hours of the day, her eyes purple, busy reading a book. The strangest thing about her was the large, lavender angel wings on her back.

"Twilight, I'm getting really worried about you. You've been looking in that book for two hours now." The young, warm blooded reptile replied. His scales were a dark purple, emerald green eyes with slitted pupils were full of worry. His spinal plates were the same light green as his underbelly scales.

"Well, reports of giant metal men are flooding into my castle and I don't know anything about them." Twilight rasped, growling under her breath. "The only story I can find is about a "metal knight" who protected the innocent thousands of years ago, it's said he can transform into a metallic dragon with no magic at all."

"A metal dragon? That's impossible!" Spike commented, making Twilight smile.

"That's what I thought too! And get this; he was supposedly strong enough to take Celestia, Discord, and Luna on in a battle." Twilight said, giggling, before rolling her eyes. "That's impossible..."

She stopped her giggling when saw a picture, drawn by the author; the picture had a giant, bipedal, metal creature. It had a massive staff in one hand, it's helmet looking like an ancient knight. It was massive, towering over a statue of Discord and Celestia herself. It's eyes were glowing red, the metal grey on it's body. on its shoulders were the upper and lower jaws of, what appeared to be, a dragon.

In the background, the carcass of a dragon met her eyes, limbs torn off, leaving blood all over. Half of it's skull was torn off, its eyes were lifeless. One of its wings was burned, and it wasn't easy to burn a dragon. They usually use lava as baths, believe it or not.

She started to read over what the story said, each word subtracting her previous doubt, before gaining a grim look. On the story, the chapter was called, "Me Grimlock-KING!"

When we first met this "Grimlock", he was at first identified as a unintelligent brute. He had no manners at all, thought every creature was weak, even our Goddess, Celestia. He, as stupid as he seemed, spoke Equish easily, as if it were a second language for him. He proclaimed himself as a King, as unbelievable as it is, and challenged others rule constantly.

As it turns out, behind the scenes, this creature was very intelligent, despite his brute attitude, and had a fondness for the Goddesses, Celestia and Luna, seeing them as allies, friends even. That all changed when a dragon attacked Canterlot.

The two titans clashed for what seemed eternity, but as Grimlock was seemingly beat, he...changed. His body made a strange sound as it morphed into something else. Grinding parts slammed into each other as a shadow loomed over everyone. Flames erupted from this new monster's jaws, it giving a metallic roar as it stomped towards the dragon. Its head was rounded, smoke billowing from its nostrils, two horns at the back of its skull.

A orange glow was shown every time it opened its jaws, the many rows of teeth terrifying uncountable citizens. His arms were gigantic compared to ours, but looked laughably small compared to the rest of his body, but no one dared laughed. His legs held three toed feet with talons, the untold power propelling him forward.

Unprepared, was the dragon, that the flames burned its wing, making an unearthly howl escape it's jaws. The two clashed again, however, the beast once known as Grimlock overpowered the dragon, almost as if he was playing cat and mouse with the poor, century old reptile.

As the dust cleared, the creatures, Grimlock, stood victorious, but at a cost. He showed everyone he may be an ally, but, he was still a monster on the inside. He disappeared, not seen for many years. Soon, centuries passed by, and a statue was dedicated to him in the castle, though, everyone would rather see it burn at that time.

Legends say he shall awaken again when Equestria is in danger. The legendary warrior shall return when a new princess is in ruling, and the land is threatened by a force of pure destruction. They shall be prepared for Equestria's Extinction.

Twilight was sick to her stomach after reading, barely able to contain her bile from the picture, promptly closed the book. "Whatever, it's an old tale, probably exaggerated. C'mon Spike, we've got to meet Celestia for the plans."

Spike waddled off to her, unaware that he too, was part of this new story. As they wandered off, the trees in the Everfree forest shook from impact tremors, birds taking flight to avoid being destroyed by the creature.

"Interesting..." A metallic voice muttered, a large bipedal walking through the trees. "These organics are just like the small creatures on Terra...This requires more data and research. Perhaps some new test subjects to see if they feel pain like the ones back on the dirt covered planet."

A single, yellow eye observed the area, before it gave a gruff sigh. "These new creatures give a strange energy reading. Hmm..." It started to walk again, a large cannon for its right arm knocking a tree down. "I think I should pay them a visit."

Greetings

Celestia gave a sigh, watching as the clouds slowly drifted by. Her multicolored hair flowed in the wind, tough it would usually flow without it. Her eyes were motherly, despite her young looks, and two large angel like wings were on her back, white in color. Her skin was light, though not from staying inside.

She was massive, standing at seven feet tall, towering over any other human. She wore a white robe with the symbol of the Sun stuck to the chest of her clothes.

Her expression mixed with boredom and exhaustion, making the other in the carriage laugh. Luna was there with Celestia, her skin slightly darker than her sisters. Her hair, black with twirling galaxies and twinkling stars, moved with the wind, but could move without it as well.

Her robes were dark blue in color, and had a Moon with three stars next to it. Her eyes were more playful in nature, though still held wisdom beyond her looks. She stands at six feet and nine inches.

"You look tired, Tia. Why don't you take a break for one day?" Luna commented, making Celestia glare playfully at her.

"You know I can't do that, Lulu. Today's the Summer Sun Festival, and some of us have work to do." Celestia said, before looking down, noticing dark clouds. "Was there supposed to be rain today?"

"No, there wasn't." Luna responded, giving a confused stare. "Why?"

The smell of smoke filled the air, making Celestia go wide eyed, seeing the small town of "Ponyville". Fires and pillars of smoke erupted from countless buildings, some destroyed, some were lucky to have no damage at all. The sounds of screaming filled the air, making Celestia glare.

Large forms of bipedal, robotic creatures were shown, the sounds of shooting heard, explosions in the distance. The chariot landed, Celestia quickly jumping out, Luna opening the door and running after her.

"Sister, what're you doing?" Luna asked, making Celestia growl at the back of her throat.

"I'm going to find whoever started this, and finish this, now!" Celestia, the fires of Tartarus burning in her eyes.

The sound of metal hitting metal met her ears, before a large, bipedal creature slammed into the ground in front of her. Its red eyes dimmed, its massive, metal body covered with dents and gashes, blue 'blood' spilling from its body.

"Run..." The Decepticon managed to say, before Celestia noticed one of his arms and most of his face was torn away, making Luna grow a grim look, Celesta's expression unreadable. "He's here...He is back..."

Its eyes glowed dim, another metallic bellow erupting from the smoke that covered the Town Center. The sounds of metal hitting metal made Celestia walk towards the sounds, Luna following.

"Sister, you don't think...it can't be...." Luna started to say, before looking to Celestia for an answer.

"I think it is, sister." Celestia answered, seeing men, women, and children running past her, screams almost deafening to the two Goddesses. They kept walking, seeing another corpse of a Decepticon, its body torn in half.

One of its comrades had its lower body sliced off of it, the upper body crushing a building, the lower body lying on the ground. An Insecticon was crushed on the ground, a large foot print on it and around it, blue Energon leaking from its body.

A strange sound met Celestia's and Luna's ears, making them turn, seeing a metallic...tail? It slipped into the smoke, making Celestia and Luna chase after it, before Luna tripped, falling into something.

"Uh...Sister?" Luna called out, making Celestia stop, then look at what Luna had fallen into. "I believe it is him."

"Yes, I thought so."

The thing she fell into, was a large, theropodian foot print, much like a giant bird print. It was massive, three toed, and sank into the ground from an incredible force, and seemed to grip at the ground as it was there.

"The King is back."

__________________________________________

Grimlock roared, rushing forward, narrowly stepping onto Twilight and Spike, just missing them by inches as he rushed past. He bit onto one of the Decepticons, metallic teeth making short work of the soldier.

He swallowed the upper body of the soldier, giving a sickeningly satisfied look. Shockwave fired out, the purple beams striking at Grimlock's body, but he gave no movement to show he felt it. Grimlock then let out fire, the flames scorching the small body of the Decepticon who was with Shockwave.

Four more Decepticons rushed forward, giving war cries, before Grimlock bite onto one, giving a growl of anger, his glowing red eyes piercing through the spirits of the people and Decepticons.

He shook his massive head, before letting go, the Decepticon missing an arm, flying into the smoke, half of his face torn off from the shaking. Grimlock slammed his tail into another Decepticon, cutting the large, metallic bipedal in half, the top half falling onto a building, the bottom half falling onto the floor.

He then stepped onto another Decepticon, crushing the massive bipedal easily, then breathed out a plume of flames, scorching the last Decepticon, making half of its body melt. Once he stopped, he gave a victorious roar into the sky, before sniffing the air, slowly turning his head towards Shockwave, creepily staring at him.

Shockwave started to retreat, Grimlock giving a grinding roar, running forward, ignoring the people he stepped over. Thankfully, he didn't crush anyone, Twilight and Spike watching the large tail of the creature disappear into the smoke.

Twilight looked over, then gasped, seeing Celestia and Luna chase after Grimlock, disappearing into the smoke. She got up, flaring her wings out, looking at Spike, "Stay here, Spike."

She flew after them, gliding effortlessly over the ground, ignoring the protests from the young drake. He growled in frustration, then started to run after her, ignoring her order.

"I'll protect you Twilight!" He yelled to himself, ignoring the stares as he padded along.

____________________________________

Grimlock roared after Shockwave, his jaws opening to show an impressive collection of teeth. An orange glow was in his throat, illuminating his jaws easily.

Two Insecticons gave shrill roars, before being drowned in Grimlock's roar. He stepped on one of them, crushing it instantly, then bite the other, shaking his head violently, the chomping down fully, cutting it in half.

More Decepticons Shockwave passed started to fire at Grimlock, trying to damage the large Dinobot. He head-butt a Decepticon, killing it instantly. He impaled another with his massive tail, then breathed fire on it, killing another in the flames as well.

Grimlock ate one of the Decepticons easily, then slammed his tail onto another, killing it as well. He roared in pain as they all fired at him, but, he smashed through a line of them, stepping on one as he padded along.

Shockwave found himself cornered between buildings as he tried to find a way out. He looked around, before hearing a grinding rumble behind him. He turned to see the jaws of a metal dinosaur, Grimlock.

Shockwave silently primed a grenade behind his back, waiting for the right moment to throw. Grimlock sniffed the air, before snorting out some smoke at Shockwave.

"Grimlock!" A voice yelled, making the Tyrannosaur turn, seeing something he hadn't seen in awhile.

Princess Celestia stood there, looking at the large T-Rex. Grimlock looked at Celestia, then gave a quiet growl, as if he recognized the voice. Luna rounded the corner, giving the metal theropod a wide eyed stare.

Shockwave took his chance, throwing the grenade at the Princesses. Grimlock grew wide eyed, seeing the grenade land at Celestia's feet, about half of her body size. She grew wide eyed, hearing it beep loudly, the top of it blinking.

Grimlock heard Shockwave jump, seeing his body shape and transform, turning into a jet with a cannon on the front of it. He flew away, Grimlock busy transforming into his massive robot form.

He grabbed Celestia and Luna, turning his back to the grenade. They both were in shock as his red eyes turning into forest green in a matter of seconds. An explosion made the Goddesses ears ring, before feeling weightless as Grimlock flew from the force of the explosion. Time seemed to slow down from the explosion, everything passing in slow motion to the Princesses and the massive King.

He slammed through one building, grazing another, then turning a third into a pile of rubble and dust. He then skidded across the ground, leaving a large gash in the streets, rubble and dust flying up with stone.

Dart groaned, looking down to his hands, fearing the two were dead. He then heard coughing, a silent relief flowing through his Energon filled veins. He opened his hands to show a surprisingly clean and dust free Luna and Celestia.

"Oh, thank the Primes." Dart mumbled to himself under his breath, before putting them down.

"Grimlock?" Celestia called out, making Dart stop, then look at the Solar Goddess. "You're back? How did this happen? We thought you..."

Dart was about to answer, before looking up, seeing a woman, gape jawed, looking at them. Dart gave a snort, then stood up to his full size, eyeing the small humans.

Celestia turned, then smiled. "Hello, Twilight."

Twilight walked up to Celestia and Luna, eyeing Grimlock. "But...what...how?"

Dart looked up, seeing a small, purple, reptilian creature run up. He expelled a small, emerald green flame on Dart's leg, only warming it slightly. Dart lifted his leg a little, then started to walk away, giving a growl of annoyance.
