Transformers Equestria Girls In Disguise Shorts
What A Knockout!
Previous ChapterNext ChapterOver in a part of town, in a small shop, there was one girl with white skin and purple hair working inside a clothing boutique. She had been helping one little girl with pale skin, green eyes, and white and light purple hair take measurements for a dress. And two of her friends were there because they had to take measurements too, along with Applejack and Rainbow Dash.
"Rarity, how long is this going to take?"
"Perfection takes time Sweetie Belle. You want to look great when you attend Diamond Tiara's party don't you?" Rarity asked.
Sweetie Belle groaned. "Yes..."
"Don't you worry, I won't be any longer. Knockout, can you hand me the purple fabrics?" Rarity looked to the side.
"The passion purple, the Dark Energon purple, or the luminescent purple that looks like one of those 3-D images from those comic books?"
Rarity paused, thinking of which one he was refering to. "Um... the passion purple."
Knockout appeared from a curtain, down to Rarity's size holding a roll of purple fabric in his talons. He extended an arm out and gave it to Rarity for her to accept.
"Thank you, Knockout," Rarity smiled.
"Not a problem at all Rarity. How's the new dress coming along?"
"Oh, its almost done. Soon all three of them will be able to attend the party in roughly, half, half an hour maybe," Rarity said.
Knockout grinned and walked over to another table, doing some more organization, giving Rarity a hand around the boutique which made Rarity happy. It was nice to have another hand around the boutique, especially for someone who had an eye for fashionable looks.
"Rarity, how come Knockout looks like he was a Decepticon?" Applebloom asked.
"Applebloom! You don't ask those kinds of questions!" Applejack scolded.
"Applejack, its quite alright. Everyone's picked up on the look. But if you're interested Applebloom, its because I was a Decepticon," Knockout said.
The Crusader's eyes widened in shock. He, a Decepticon? But that was impossible, just based on how well he got along with everyone, he was well mannered like a gentleman.
"But if you're an ex-Decepticon, how did you ever join the Autobots?" Scootaloo asked.
Knockout chuckled slightly, "Well now that's an interesting tale to tell. You girls have time for a story?"
The girls looked at one another, giving nods. Knockout grinned.
"Then I suggest you take a seat, because this story's about to get quite...interesting..." Knockout said.
Over in a Decepticon base, the malevolent Decepticons continued to discuss plans for another attack. And of course, they were all being nasty about it. And one lone Decepticon watched from behind a door...
"Decepticons, we cannot allow these putrid Autobots to win again!" Crasher yelled.
"But how can we stop them!?" Drag Strip yelled.
"I don't know, but we'll think of something," Crasher said. "If only our Energon supply was higher, we'd be able to get a clearer map."
"Tell that to Knockout, he barely gets anything for us around here!" Swindle grumbled.
"Stupid self-entitled useless scrapheap..." Crasher grumbled.
Knockout's eyes glowed with fury, and he gritted his teeth. He wanted to immediately make the pounce and jump on them, but there were more Cons and only one of him so that option was right out the window.
He pondered to himself, deep in his own thoughts, not caring about anything around him. They called him scrap, they called him useless... He had been questioning his loyalty to the Decepticons for a while now. Maybe this was the time where he needed to leave. Knockout had been planning to defect to the Autobots for quite a while. His loyalties lied with them, and even his morals and ideals lined up with the Autobots more than what they did with the Decepticons. He'd pack only a few essentials, then leave. But Optimus Prime would ask him to prove himself. No worries, he'd just keep a comlink channel onto Decepticon activity and then he could reveal their locations and bases.
Knockout found himself standing near the exit of the base. This was it. The time to leave the Decepticons forever, and join the Autobots. But would they be accepting of him joining their side? Well, it'd be a risk he had to take. The time was now. He had to go. He had to join them. He was never welcome in the ranks of the Decepticons, but maybe with the Autobots he'd be welcome.
Knockout looked at himself again, and stared at the Decepticon logo on his chest, which was glowing a purple glow.
"Goodbye Decepticon Knockout," Knockout said, readying a claw. He made a quick swipe across his chest, making a clear scratch across the symbol, making the glow begin to slowly fade away and the purple fade away.
Knockout transformed into a Cybertronian car mode and sped along the empty streets of Cybertron, heading for the nearest Autobot base he could find. Luckily for him, there were no Decepticons around to chase him or try and hunt him down.
After an hour of driving, he finally found an Autobot base right in front of him. He made a halt, trying not to give any of them a surprise. And soon, he slowly began to drive up towards the base in a calm manner.
But his drive up to the base was quickly stopped when several Autobots jumped from behind pointing guns at his vehicle mode.
"Hold it right there Knockout," Sideswipe gritted his teeth.
Knockout immediately transformed into robot mode and raised his hands in the air.
"Easy, I didn't come here to stage an attack."
"Tell that to Optimus Prime," Hound snarled.
Before Knockout could react, Sideswipe grabbed ahold of Knockout, allowing Hound to handcuff Knockout's hands behind his back.
"Wait, I'm serious! I mean you no harm!" Knockout pleaded.
"Then why did you come here by yourself? Did Megatron send you? And if so are you stupid or just obedient?" Sideswipe asked.
"Megatron didn't send me alone. I..." Knockout sighed in between, "I came here by my own means. I want to talk with Optimus Prime."
Hound and Sideswipe looked at each other, with some questionable looks. They looked around, surveying the area for any signs of Decepticons that were around them. But as far as their eyes could see, there were no signs of them around.
"Alright, we'll take you in. But we're all keeping an eye on you, Decepticon..." Hound growled.
"Okay, thank you."
The two Autobots pushed Knockout inside the base, and they continued to walk through some of the hallways, passing by more Autobots along the way. Each of them were shocked to see that they had Knockout in their possession. However Knockout still tried to keep a friendly first impression.
"Hello Windcharger. Gears. Turbo. Inferno, how's the tailpipe? Perceptor, I admire your theories on space and time. Bluestreak, been a while."
Sideswipe and Hound rolled their eyes. They couldn't even believe what they were doing right now.
A door opened up, revealing an inner planning room. There in the middle was a giant holoprojection of some of the area on Cybertron, and standing around it was Optimus, Ironhide, Wheeljack, Arcee, and Bumblebee.
Their heads turned to see Knockout in Hound and Sideswipe's possession and they gave some questionable looks.
"Did you just capture Knockout?" Wheeljack asked.
"No. He came here by himself. Said he wanted to speak with Optimus Prime. But I refuse to believe that any Decepticon would come here by himself," Hound said as he roughed Knockout around.
"Dah!" Knockout screeched. Soon he was held back by Hound and Sideswipe's arms, who both had strong grips on him. Knockout looked up to face Optimus and the others who stood before him.
"I'll tell you anything you want to know," Knockout wheezed.
"And what is it that you desire in return?" Optimus asked.
Knockout stay silent for a moment. He was trying to build up the courage to say what he wanted, but he was too terrified to say anything.
"Well? Spit it out! What do you want?" Sideswipe asked.
Knockout sighed, "I... I want to join, your side."
The Autobots stared at him with shock. They didn't know how to react to this news. They didn't know if they should be glad, happy, or worried. They never had seen a Decepticon want to defect to the Autobots before. Knockout sunk back. He felt like he had screwed up badly. But he felt a hand touch his shoulder. He turned his head back up to gaze at Optimus Prime.
"If that is your decision, we will gratefully accept you."
"WHAT!?" The Autobots in the room yelled.
"No Decepticon comes by themselves without order. And if Knockout came by himself, along with destroying his own tracking mechanism from the Decepticons..." Optimus said, gesturing to the scratched out Decepticon mark on his chest, "Then he is speaking true words."
Knockout sighed in relief, "Thank you. Optimus Prime."
"How long had you been planning to join us Knockout?" Optimus asked.
"I had planned to join you several stellar cycles back. Since the insults, the deceits, the abuse, and little no appreciation kept piling up and I just about had it. Hence why I'm here today," Knockout said.
Optimus kept a neutral expression, taking in what was just told. But eventually he offered a smile.
"You won't need to worry about them anymore. And Knockout?" Optimus asked, while also make a head gesture to Hound and Sideswipe.
Knockout was about to speak but then listened to the sound of stasis cuffs unlocking. He moved around some more and realized he could now move his arms. He moved them back to the front and gripped his wrist slightly, feeling the strains that the cuffs had put on him.
Optimus gave another friendly smile.
"Welcome, to the Autobots."
Knockout gave a grin back and made one slight bow. "I promise from this day forth til the day that I die, my devotion will stay with the Autobots."
"Til all are one," Optimus said.
"Til all, are one," Knockout replied.
"And from that very day, I began my training with the Autobots. I learned how they operated, I understood their techniques, and soon enough I was welcomed aboard. For the most part. I still get a few angry looks and comments here and there, but it hasn't bothered me as much any more," Knockout said.
The Crusaders were no longer preparing for new dresses, they were all sitting along the runway model stage, listening to Knockout's story. The Crusaders found high interest in his tale.
"But why doesn't that bother you?" Applebloom asked.
Knockout gave a sincere smile feeling very proud, "Because the great Optimus Prime, welcomed me aboard his crew. He's the reason I'm still with the Autobots today, and I'm never leaving their side."
