Previous Chapter

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.
