Equestria Girls In Disguise: The Gallows of CHS

Rainbow and Sideswipe kept cleaning up the room, trying to get all of their things together. Since now that they had a new plan, they needed to be prepared and get moving in time. But it wouldn't be easy since now Sunstreaker was quick on its monstrous feet, and almost all of their team was taken out, with only a few remaining.

Rainbow looked back at Sunset and the others who were all tucked into their sleeping bags, still out cold from all of the hallucinations. It still remained a mystery as to how they were going out, and what was the cause of their hallucinations.

Sideswipe looked back at the rest of the girls, and scratched his chin. It still puzzled him to no end.

"Rainbow, has Bumblebee reported back?"

Rainbow shook her head, "No. Why?"

Sideswipe stopped for a moment to think, and then looked back at Rainbow's face. "Did we set up any plan?"

"All I did was ask Bumblebee to call the Autobots for help. Why?"

"Because I have an idea. We need to lock up the building so that Sun-uh, the Shadowbot can't leave the place. If we can't catch him, then we trap him."

Rainbow thought for a moment. It seemed like an okay idea. They've tried everything else and it failed, so maybe this plan wouldn't be so bad to tackle.

"Okay, well what about our friends?", Rainbow asked, gesturing a hand to the knocked out Rainbooms and Twilight.

"Then we'll have to carry them out of the building," Sideswipe said. "Just go tell Bumblebee and Pinkie the plan, I'm gonna start getting things loaded up. And stay safe."

Rainbow grinned and she ran off down the hallway, leaving Sideswipe to get their things loaded up. Sideswipe looked around at the equipment, and then looked towards the knocked out girls. He sighed as he looked at their knocked out bodies.

"Don't worry girls. I'm gonna make sure my brother won't get away with this," Sideswipe said.

Rainbow ran towards the entrance, not stopping for a second, but she came to a pause when she heard an unusual sound. She stopped where she was and froze in sight, listening to the sound for where it came from. She tilted her head up, facing the ceiling. The source was coming from there.

Readying her gun, she got down on one knee, ready for action. She listened to the sound some more, and after an observation, she could easily figure it out. The sound of metal clanking that was right above her head sounded like someone was crawling through the ceiling vents. She followed the sounds to the open shaft, and watched as a girl with bright and colorful pink armor came falling out of the vent.

"Ow."

Rainbow's eyes widened, "Pinkie?"

Pinkie got back up on her feet in a flash grinning at Rainbow Dash, "Hey Rainbow!"

"What are you doing here, and why aren't you with Bumblebee?"

"Oh I got distracted because I thought I saw the Shadowbot down the hall, so I went to go check it out, only it wasn't the Shadowbot, but it was a really, really, really scary killer clown!"

Rainbow's jaw dropped. "That didn't scare you, or make you pass out?"

"Nope! Clowns don't scare me silly, it just looked hilarious," Pinkie chuckled.

"But wait, you saw something too? Just like--"

"Sunset with Megatron and Applejack with the hangman?" Pinkie wiggled her eyebrows.

Rainbow nodded, and scratched her chin. She looked back down more at the hallways, and then looked back at Pinkie. "Okay, we've got a new plan set. We're gonna get our friends out, and then we'll lock up the Shadowbot in the place so he can't escape."

"Oki-doki-loki!"

"And now my second question," Rainbow's hands clapped, "Where is Bumblebee?"

Pinkie stopped for a moment and looked around, and shrugged.

"I'll try contacting him," Rainbow said. She tapped a control on the touch screen on her arm, and it began dialing. Soon enough, someone picked up.

"Bumblebee here, what's up?"

"Bumblebee where are you?" Rainbow asked.

"You're not gonna believe this. I've got the Shadowbot trapped, but right now I'm trying to keep him locked up. Where are you two?"

"We're at the main entrance, we're gonna lock this place up so he can't escape," Rainbow said.

"Sounds like a plan," Bumblebee said, "Where's Sideswipe?"

"He's loading up our stuff at the practice room. Can you give a hand?"

"No problem. I'll let you girls know if the Shadowbot escapes. Bumblebee out," Bumblebee said as he hung up.

The two girls now knowing what to do, ran off to the front entrance to get it open.

Back with Sideswipe, he was still in the process of packing up all of their equipment. It was slow, but he didn't want to damage any of their expensive technology. His attention was quickly taken away as he looked to his left and saw a yellow form stand in the doorway.

"Oh Bumblebee, sweet, you're back. Did you have any luck?" Sideswipe asked.

Bumblebee didn't say a word, but he just stood there, menacingly. His eyes were set in a permanent scowl, and his lips remained in a scowl as well. Something didn't seem right...

"Bumblebee?" Sideswipe asked sounding concerned, "What's wrong?"

Bumblebee's eyes gave one flash of a dark purple, his mouth gave an evil grin, and in an instant, Sideswipe caught on.

"Oh no..."

Bumblebee pulled out a weapon, hanging from his back, and readied a sword in his hand. Sideswipe quickly moved too, and pulled out a sword on his back ready to fight. Bumblebee made a leap into the air, ready to make the first swing, and Sideswipe quickly blocked his attack. Sideswipe used his strength to push the sword away, but it wasn't enough to make Bumblebee to make another swinging attack onto Sideswipe.

The two of their swords kept clashing with one another, making loud sounds in the practice room. Their swords then met in a stand off as they kept pushing against one another, Sideswipe and Bumblebee staring at one another in fright, and fury.

"Bumblebee, come on!" Sideswipe panicked. "Its not you! Its Sunstreaker! You have to fight him!"

Bumblebee just responded by giving an evil smirk on his face, followed by his jaw lowering and an extending metallic sharp tongue swaying side to side, ready to make an electro shock. Sideswipe's eyes bulged out of his head.

"That's something I didn't need to see tonight..." Sideswipe didn't focus on it too long, for he made a quick move and kicked Bumblebee down with a foot to his chest. Seizing his chance, he made a leap over Bumblebee and began running down the halls, heading for the main entrance doors no longer barricaded, but were now open.

Sideswipe tapped the side of his ear, connecting to a signal to Rainbow and Pinkie.

"Rainbow, Pinkie, help!!!!" Sideswipe screeched.

"Sideswipe, what's wrong?" Rainbow asked.

"And did you just scream like a little girl?" Pinkie followed.

"Not now Pinkie!" Sideswipe yelled, "We've got a big problem!"

"What? What's wrong?" Rainbow asked.

"Its Bumblebee! Sunstreaker's infected Bumblebee! He just tried to attack me, and I swear he tried to lick my face!"

"Ew...", Pinkie cringed.

"But wait, he just said he locked up the Shadowbot!" Rainbow said.

"Because he's infected with evil! He can manipulate and trick you! Look, just get the doors open for us, and lock them up! We can trap them inside," Sideswipe yelled.

"Got it, over and out," Rainbow said.

Sideswipe hung up and he could hear roaring sounds coming from right behind him. From turning his head back a few times, he saw Bumblebee wasn't too far behind him.

He kept his focus on up ahead and kept on running, he wasn't gonna let him make the strike. Sideswipe made a left turn down another hall, passing by some more lockers, and just up ahead, he could see the doors were open, leading to the remains of the Wondercolt statue.

Sideswipe made a big leap out of the building landing on his chest. He pulled himself up and found Pinkie and Rainbow had locked up the doors again, and they stood ready in their Headmaster suits.

"You okay?" Pinkie asked.

"Never better Pinkie," Sideswipe said.

A big roar erupted from inside of the building, and Sideswipe quickly moved out of the way and stood with the girls, ready to fight by the side of the Wondercolt statue. Bumblebee punched through the double doors, knocking them down. His zombie-fied form appeared from the doors, this time running on his hands and legs, much like a cheetah. His head icily stared on towards the remaining three and gave a snarl.

"Oh boy, this is bad..." Pinkie said.

"You think!?" Rainbow and Sideswipe yelled.

Bumblebee slowly got up back onto his feet, but stayed hunched over, snarling like a wolf. His feet slowly made steps down the few stairs, and he readied his hands, which now possessed talons.

"Bumblebee... come on... speak to me!" Sideswipe yelled. "I know you're still in there! But you've to fight Sunstreaker's control!"

The possessed Bumblebee just gave a smirk, "There is no Bumblebee... Bumblebee is not here, and he can't help you now!!!"

Bumblebee made a leap, trying to make a swipe onto Sideswipe's chest with his talons. Sideswipe luckily made a quick move and got out of the way before Bumblebee could make the jump, and watched as Bumblebee fell flat on his face.

Bumblebee got back up on his feet, and turned around to make another move, but was met with Sideswipe throwing a punch across his face, and kicking him in the chest knocking him back down again.

"I really hope he doesn't remember that when he gets back to normal," Sideswipe said with worry.

Rainbow and Pinkie readied their weapons and they shot taser lines onto Bumblebee, sending large blue paralyzing shocks onto his body. They saw blue electricity sparks zap on the outside of the lines as they transferred onto Bumblebee, making his body twitch and writhe like a snake.

The three of them were so focused on dealing with Bumblebee that they didn't even notice a green flash running up and down on Sideswipe's body, almost as if someone was scanning him.

Soon enough, a large growling noise got their attention, making them all freeze in place.

Their eyes darted back and forth, wondering where it came from.

"Did you hear that roar too, or am I finally going insane?" Sideswipe asked.

"No... I heard it too," Rainbow said.

They paused and listened again, and they heard another strange noise.

"Who just transformed?", Rainbow asked.

Everyone turned around and they listened to the sound of screeching tires hitting among the pavement. They turned their heads and they saw skid marks had been made onto the concrete sidewalk, leading onto the open road and far off into town. All of their eyes bulged out of their heads.

"Not... good," Sideswipe said.

Moving quickly, he moved to click the side of his head to access a communication network. He tapped his foot on the ground impatiently, and eventually someone answered.

"Sideswipe, report," Optimus said on the other line.

"Optimus! Listen quick because I don't know how strong the connection is. We have an identity confirmation on the Shadowbot, its Sunstreaker! I don't know how he's here on Earth, but he is here, he's a zombie, and if my calculations are correct he's on his way to your base! He's gonna infect you all! I strongly suggest evacuating the base, it won't be good if any of you are infected! Please!"

"Understood. We'll send out the alert to all Autobots to evacuate," Optimus said.

Sideswipe sighed in relief. At least the Autobots were gonna be warned about a possible zombie coming to infect them. It seemed like everyone was gonna stay alive to tell the tale. But wait... alive. Dead. Undead.

Sideswipe's jaw widened in realization, "Wait, there's something else you got to do! Get all of our undead out of there too! There's a chance they can be infected and undead again!"

Sideswipe waited for a response, but he wasn't receiving any response on the other end.

"Optimus? Please come in! Optimus!?"

He listened again, but all he received was static. His fists clenched and he stomped into the ground yelling in rage. He didn't even get the last part of the signal out.

"You think you got through to them?" Rainbow asked with concern.

Sideswipe looked back on the skid marks on the road, and his eyes followed the path of where they were going.

"I hope so Rainbow. Because if I didn't... then we're all gonna die," Sideswipe finished.
