Grimlock: Age of Equestria

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."
