Transformers: Defenders of Equestria
Chapter 2: The Beast from space
Previous ChapterNext Chapter29 miles from Ponyville, a yellow and black chevy Camaro, a sleek, red Lamborghini, and a semi-bulky white and dark blue police cruiser trailed down the dusty, sand-filled road of Appaloosa Desert. After five minutes of driving, the three vehicles skidded to a stop. All of a sudden, they converted into towering robots. Bumblebee scanned the horizon before turning on his comm unit.
"Bumblebee to base. So far no sign of any Decepticon activity whatsoever. We're gonna head back to Canterl-"
"Uh, what's THAT?!" Sideswipe suddenly blurted out, interrupting Bumblebee's sentence. Bumblebee and Strongarm looked skyward, their optics suddenly widen as a meteor slammed into the ground.
"GET BACK!" Bumblebee yelled, but it was too late as the sheer force of the meteor sent the three Autobots tumbling a few feet away. As they recovered, the meteor exploded wide open and a huge, grotesque creature emerged. The beast was riddled with huge pillars of spikes, its body illuminated with a dark red glow, its face looking something out of a horror movie. The... Thing, whatever it is, bellowed and charged straight at the trio.
"FLANK THAT THING!" Bumblebee immediately commanded. Sideswipe and Strongarm dodged the creature's huge claws and fired their Decepticon hunters at its armored back. Unfortunately, they weren't doing any damage. The creature lunged at Bumblebee, swinging his claws full force. Its claws connected to Bumblebee's chassis, and thus he was sent sprawling into a column of rock. Before Bumblebee could recooperate, the monster grabbed hold of his leg and smashed him on the ground. Just then, Sideswipe leapt up and landed a direct blow on the back of the monster's head with his sword, slicing it wide open. The creature didn't have time to screech in pain as it dropped on the ground, seemingly dead. Sideswipe proceeded to helping Bumblebee on his feet.
"You okay, boss? You took one heck of a beating."
"I'll be fine. What was that thing?!"
"I don't even know, but whatever it is, we know know it's weakness."
Strongarm began prodding the the monster's body with her Decepticon hunter.
"Eww... This thing is covered in this weird mucus like sub-"
"ROOOAAAAARRRR!!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!
In a frightened flurry of screaming and shooting, Strongarm blew the creature's face clean off, then making sure the thing was DEAD this time. She took heavy breathes, then she heard Sideswipe's annoying laugh.
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That... Was the FUNNIEST thing that happened today! Do that again!" Sideswipe laughed. Strongarm growled under her breath.
"Nothing's funny about that!"
"Yeah, there is! You got so scared, you were like a little sparkling!"
Strongarm clenched her fists, the need to punch the scrap out of this annoying bolt-brain was strong. But she let it go. Strongarm turned to Bumblebee.
"Sir? Whats the matter?"
"This creature... Nobody in Equestria has ever seen it before... What if its a sign, like something's gonna happen? Something... Big."
"Well, you don't have to worry about it, sir. I'm sure its nothing serious." Strongarm said, attempting to comfort her leader. Bumblebee simply nodded and turned on his comm unit.
"Bumblebee to base. We encountered a strange but oddly dangerous creature. We're heading back to Canterlot now."
The three Autobots converted to vehicle mode and drove off, heading towards Canterlot.
