Chapter 3: The Encounter

Previous Chapter

Grimlock and Twilight finally arrived to Canterlot, making their way to the large gates that opened to the massive city. When they entered, everyone was hurrying towards Canterlot's castle, where Princess Celestia and her sister, Princess Luna, were living in. Grimlock and Twilight wondered what was going on and followed the crowd. Inside the castle was huge. Its walls decorated with colorful light-oriented windows, its floors covered with red linen rugs, bearing diamonds, rubies, and emeralds. Out of one of the castle's doors, a little orange Minicon with tires for feet rolled in the hallway to greet the two guests.

"Welcome, guys!" Fix-it happily greeted. "You're just in rhyme- sign- *FZZT* TIME! The other Autobots are in the main hallway with Princess Luna and Princess Celestia.

"Hey, Fix-it! Whats all the commotion about, anyway?" Grimlock asked curiously.

"I don't exactly know. Something about a dangerous encounter between Bumblebee and this weird monster creature thing... It sounds very interesting."

Fix-it led Twilight and Grimlock to a large hall, in the middle was a large diamond-covered throne. Sitting on the throne was Princess Celestia, who was busy conversing with Bumblebee. The other Autobots, along with the rest of the Mane 6, stood on the left side of the huge room. Celestia stood up from her throne and walked towards the trio casually.

"Greetings, Princess Twilight, Grimlock. I'm glad you can join us. The meeting is about to start."

"Greetings, Princess." Twilight responded to her mentor while she and Grimlock bowed before the Equine princess. Celestia stood tall, her light suddenly shining with bright golden magic. Everyone leaned their attention towards the Equine deity, and stood silent. Sitting back in her throne, she began the meeting.

"Gentleponies, ladies, and Autobots, we have been informed of some... Disturbing news. The leader of our Autobot allies, Bumblebee, has had a encounter with a dangerous alien creature. Fortunately, it was defeated by his team."

"That creature was most likely the first wave of what I could only determine a uprising from another alien world... But WHO is behind this attack? That is the question we need to find answers to. Any suggestions?"

The entire room was silent, everyone deep in thought. That is, until a bright dark-red aura of light shone in the room. Moments later, a humanoid-like alien covered from head to toe with silver, sharp-edged armor. He clearly was a cyborg, as parts of his body was organic while other parts of him was purely technical. His eyes were bright red with purple pupils.

"I know who sent that monster."

Everyone turned to the strange being. Celestia frowned as she raised her voice slightly.

"Who are YOU?" Celestia demanded.

"Me? Well, you can call me Scallax. I am a interdimensional traveller, i seek to aid different world, liberating them from evil warlords. I know who sent that Gwarloch after your fellow Autobots."

Celestia turned to Bumblebee then back to Scallax. She was very unsure whether to believe the stranger's intentions or not.

"You're saying you know who's behind this?" She asked, caution in her voice.

Scallax nodded. "I do. If you can follow me, i'll tell you who the culprit is."

The Autobots, without question, followed Scallax out of the large building. Who knows, maybe this traveller really is what he's saying he is, or maybe... He is hiding a deep secret...
