Equestria Girls In Disguise: Ghosts Of Our Past

We now return to the Transformers...

The girls moaned from the pain they endured. They fell face first into dirt, and a few stones had flown onto their faces making a few scrapes and cuts. Their bodies slowly pulled themselves up off, trying to get back up onto their feet, dusting the dirt and whatever bits of stones and leaves they fell into.

"Is everyone alright," Sunny asked, as she dusted some more dirt off her clothes, and dusting some dirt off of Fluttershy.

"I'm... I'm fine. Are you okay?"

Sunny nodded before turning to Lemon Zest, "Are you okay dearie?"

Lemon's face was planted in the dirt, but she raised an arm up and gave a thumbs up. Right behind Lemon Zest, was Wasp who was lying in the same position as Lemon. He pulled himself up, and took a knee up, to look at the girls.

"Girls, alright?", Wasp asked.

The girls nodded.

"Are you okay Wasp?", Fluttershy asked.

Wasp nodded, "Wasp okay. But Wasp not too sure about Autobots...", Wasp said turning his head back to the now blocked cave, making whirring sounds as he moved.

The group moved towards the pile of boulders now covering the cave, and one by one they began taking the rocks off trying to get an opening. Were they okay? Were they crushed? Was there some speck of light still in them?

Wasp pulled a rock off the top of the rubble, creating a hole for some light to crawl through.

"Beachbot? Blasterbot? B-Bumblebot...?"

"Wasp! I'm okay! The others are okay too!"

Wasp sighed in relief, and so did the other girls.

"You've got to go after that changeling!", Outback yelled.

The girls looked to one another. Just the four of them?

"But Outback, we can't! We can't leave you guys in there!"

"We'll be fine! Look, Wasp, you've got to stop him before he gets to the Autobot base!"

Wasp's eyes widened, "But Bumblebot, Wasp cannot stop him! Changeling bot too strong, too intelligent..."

"Wasp, listen to me. Its my fault he hurt you and its my fault that you were sent to the stockade. You can stop him I know it. You've broken out of jail, you can stop a changeling."

"But--"

"You can do it Wasp. What will happen if he poses as me? He can turn all of them against you!"

Wasp's expression dropped to a snarling rage. His teeth gritted, and the girls could hear him growling like an animal. He didn't like the sound of this at all...

"Wasp no want Autobots against Wasp, Wasp want Autobots with Wasp! Wasp want changeling... dead..."

Wasp's eyes glowed and his foot stomped against the ground.

"Wasp!", Bumblebee yelled.

Everyone froze when they heard Bumblebee yell. And with the tone he used, it didn't sound like he was kidding.

"You can't kill him! We Autobots are supposed to protect life, not destroy it. I know how much you hate him, but you can't kill him!"

Wasp's fists clenched and he snarled some more. His face turning red with anger, but that all went away in a few seconds when he sighed and breathed in and out to calm down.

"Fine. Wasp no kill changeling bot. But Wasp no nice to changeling bot either..."

"Just go!" Bumblebee finished.

Wasp flinched from another yell.

"We go!"

Wasp and the girls began their run out of the woods, heading towards the parking lot. Wasp need some room to turn into his alternate mode for them to drive.

The group zoomed past some trees making more leaves fall, they made a turn around going past the picnic tables, going beyond the dock, and eventually came to a stop. The parking lot was empty, but there was something that was amiss. In a part of the parking lot, there looked like big black skidmarks were made onto the paved road, like someone was speeding out of the parking lot in a hurry. The marks went around in circles in one singular spot, and they kept spinning round and round in the parking lot, until they finally led to another path. And it didn't help that the marks were leading from the middle of the lot, and going out onto the road that was leading back into town.

The girls looked at the marks with concern.

"Man, it looks like the dude was drinking and driving..." Lemon gasped.

Wasp walked into the middle of the open parking lot, and looked around. Like if he was checking for something, but what?

"What are you doing? Shouldn't we be going?", Sunny asked.

Wasp nodded and gave a small smile, "Wasp now have room to do this."

Wasp spread his arms out, and his body began a transformation. His legs began folding up, and bending inwards, connecting themselves together. Wasp's head tucked in to his chest, and his chest began transforming into a cabin like form. His arms connected onto his sides, and folded into place, forming back wheels. Once Wasp finished his transformation, he opened up the top of the cabin for the girls to climb in to.

"Climb in," Wasp said.

The girls hesitated as they walked forwards. He was okay with them climbing inside of him? Most of the Cybertronians that were new that they met absolutely hated the organic life on the planet.

"Are you sure you're okay with us climbing inside of you? We know some certain Cybertronians aren't really that happy with climbing in them...", Sunny hesitated.

"Wasp no afraid of humans. Besides, Wasp have plenty of exposure to human contact, humans cause no harm. Now climb in!"

The girls walked over to Wasp, and climbed over the window cabins, falling into the seats inside. It took a bit of some effort, but they did manage to climb inside. The top closed, and the girls tried getting into their seats as best as they could. Fluttershy sat in the seat that would be in the driver seat, but on the other one... that was a problem. There was one seat, and there was just Lemon Zest and Sunny Flare. Both of them were forced to sit uncomfortably close.

"This may be a problem..." Sunny said.

"Not for me!" Lemon replied.

Wasp sighed, "Lets... lets just go."

Wasp's wheels sped up burning rubber, and he skidded against the ground, going right out of the parking lot leaving a trail of skid marks right behind.

Over in Nevada, the rest of Fluttershy's friends including Sunset all gathered at Autobot base for a bit of a relaxing Sunday. Since none of them had any homework or assignments to do from any of their classes, they figured they'd might as well enjoy some time off with the Autobots.

"Has anyone heard from Fluttershy or Bumblebee? I'm starting to get worried, they haven't called us to let us know what's going on for a while now," Applejack said.

"I'm sure they're positively fine Applejack, they're probably just enjoying the weekend at the Everfree far from the battlefield," Rarity said.

The sound of a speeding car caught their attention, and their heads turned to look at the open. Some of the Autobots saw and approached the front entrance of the base, standing together. For racing towards them was a yellow Volkswagon Beetle racing to their exact spot, tires kicking up dirt and a dust cloud surrounding it.

The car came to a halt when it pulled up in front of the Autobots, and it transformed to reveal a familiar face.

"Bumblebee, why are you all the way out here? Shouldn't you be on your vacation?", Ironhide asked.

The Bumblebee they were looking at shook his head with concern, "No. I need to speak with Optimus, I need help fast!"

"Why, what's wrong?"

"Wasp came back again, he tried attacking me and the girls while we were at the forest. I tried fighting him but... I couldn't. He's too powerful and he's insane. All of those stellar cycles in the stockade must have scrambled his circuits," Bumblebee said, armor rattling and shaking.

Optimus Prime came walking in, followed by some other Autobots.

"Have the others made it out with you Bumblebee?"

Bumblebee shook his head, "No... they're... they're... gone."

The girls gasped and looked at one another. They couldn't be...

"But... what about the girls? And Fluttershy?", Twilight asked.

Bumblebee looked at them, and shook his head with sadness.

"Fluttershy... is... dead... Wasp killed her..."

The girls jaws dropped and their eyes began bulging out of their heads, tears welling up. Fluttershy was... dead. Gone. That fugitive that Bumblebee had feared killed his best friend. That couldn't be true...

"F-Fluttershy..." Pinkie wheezed.

"Poor darling..." Rarity teared up.

Rainbow's fists clenched and her jaw snarled. Inside she felt her heart pounding rapidly, and her blood began to boil. This was too far.

"That's... it. Bumblebee, we'll do what we can to make sure we take him down. And he will go down... you mess with Fluttershy, you mess with me..."

"What we do Optimus?", Sunset asked.

Optimus's eyes looked heavy with pain, but the rest of his face didn't show. He sighed, "Autobots... we must stop Wasp immediately. No matter the cost."

The remaining four had gotten long gone from the Everfree, and were on the road on their way to the Autobot base. Wasp, the entire time who was driving, sped faster and faster with each second he could. He didn't want to be beaten by the changeling Decepticon. And during this drive, Fluttershy continued to sit in her seat, but during the entire drive she was mostly looking at Lemon Zest and Sunny Flare who were uncomfortable in the other seat.

"That doesn't look very comfortable..."

"You think!?" Sunny snapped.

Wasp sighed, "Wasp sorry for uncomfortable ride. Wasp have no other mode."

Fluttershy patted a part of Wasp where the steering wheel would be, "Its okay. But there's something else we should probably talk about."

"What's that?"

Fluttershy scratched her chin, "Well... if that changeling was able to trick us by posing as other Autobots, we'll need to figure out a way to know you're real self if he changes into you."

"Wasp never thought of that before...", Wasp said with some worry.

"But I think there's a way we can find out its you. Maybe he might not be able to say your speech patterns right, or maybe we can ask some questions only you would know. You know our names, right?"

"Yes. Wasp remember all your names, but Wasp can't say them all fully without... screwing up."

Sunny grunted as she tried to keep her face from being smushed against the cabin window, "Wasp... you're... fine.... we... know... what... you mean!"

Wasp sighed, "Hopefully Autobots won't hurt Wasp... Wasp not do anything..."

Fluttershy just patted a part of Wasp again with a warm smile, "It'll be okay. I know we can get them to listen, and I'm positive we'll catch that changeling."

Fluttershy couldn't see it, but Wasp was giving a warm smile in return. Even in vehicle mode, he still felt a little safe with Fluttershy and the other two girls.

Lemon looked ahead and her eyes widened, "Uh... dudes? Are we gonna pass through a Groundbridge?"

Fluttershy and Sunny looked ahead and gasped.

"Hit the brakes!" Sunny yelled.

"Why!?" Wasp yelled.

"Just don't cross the--"

It was too late, Wasp didn't slow down and his Cybertronian form sped on through the Groundbridge. The concrete road he drove on changed to glowing lights as he sped through the portal. Once the illuminating green lights vanished, he found himself driving on a paved road in orange sand. When he saw what he was driving on he came to a screeching halt, kicking up sand. A cloud of dust steaming right past him. Around him, there were the sights of a few plants, some cacti, skulls of deceased animals and a few tumbleweeds.

"--portal," Sunny finished, with some slight frustration.

Wasp stayed silent, taking in what he had just done.

"Where are Wasp and friends now?"

Fluttershy gazed down a small screen displayed in the middle console of Wasp's Cybertronian vehicle mode, displaying a map view. And right in front of them, with dozens of blue dots ahead. All of them kept on flashing, and there was a solid green dot in the middle of the map screen, identifying as them.

"I think we're near the Autobot's base," Fluttershy said.

"Autobot... base?"

Fluttershy nodded, "Uh huh."

"... Should, Wasp keep moving?"

"I think so," Fluttershy said.

Wasp's engine revved, and he began driving once again. His tires sped along along the dirt as he kept on driving, heading straight for the multiple blue dots that were several miles ahead. He couldn't fail now, he had to get there fast. He couldn't let Bumblebee or any of the girls down.

However Wasp's concentration was quickly broken when he gazed at a sight ahead that didn't look too good. Several vehicles were pulled up in front. There were some mini-bots like Pipes and Swerve, there was Warpath in tank mode, and even some of the bigger Autobots out, with their weapons positioned out, ready to fire.

"Uh oh...", Wasp said.

"Everyone!", Rainbow yelled, "Lets get him!"

"Girls... Wasp don't know what to do...", Wasp whimpered.

"I think I do. Transform! Show them we're alive, and you're not guilty," Fluttershy said in a calm voice.

"But--"

"It'll be okay. You'll be fine. Just trust me. Please...?"

Fluttershy gave Wasp's front controls a puppy-dog look, and Wasp sighed. How could he resist a face expression that she had put on?

"Fine."

The top of the cabin opened up, and the girls climbed out without any issues. The Autobots immediately froze, and Rainbow's face turned from rage to very shocked. Fluttershy was... okay? And Sunny Flare and Lemon Zest too? How?

"F-Fluttershy...", Rainbow gasped.

"Rainbow, wait! Don't shoot him! He's innocent!", Fluttershy said, keeping her arms up in the air.

The Autobots in front of them transformed into their alternate modes, and gave some unconvinced faces. From what they were told about Wasp, they couldn't really believe a thing.

"Fluttershy, step back from the Decepticon! He already hurt Bumblebee, he can't hurt you too!", Rainbow yelled.

"Wasp no harm Fluttergirl!", Wasp yelled.

The Autobots dropped dead silent hearing him speak. Once he saw they weren't making a move, Wasp transformed into his alternate mode revealing himself in robot mode. The Autobots faces turned back to mad and they all pointed their weapons at Wasp.

"Wait! I swear, he's innocent! He showed us proof that he's not a Decepticon! He was framed!", Fluttershy pleaded.

The Autobots continued to maintain their positions, not moving a muscle. What could Fluttershy do? She paused for a moment, thinking about what to do. She thought, and thought, and thought... and an idea had formed into her head.

"Okay. If we take him back to base, can you please let him plead his case?"

The Autobots and Rainbow Dash all exchange some odd looks. Why should they allow him to speak after all of the misery he's caused Bumblebee?

Rainbow groaned as her hand scrunched her face, "Ugh, fine. Come on, we better drag him in."

Optimus Prime and the rest of the girls stood by the entrance and watched as Rainbow and the rest of the Autobots she gathered for an assault on Wasp all walked back together looking very unpleased with what they were doing. They were hoping to fight Wasp, not bring him in as someone pleading a court case.

And to the Autobot leader's surprise, Fluttershy, Sunny, and Lemon were seen alive. And they were walking with Wasp looking like nothing bad had happened.

"Fluttershy. Are you okay?" Optimus asked.

Fluttershy gave a warm smile, "I'm fine Optimus. Do you know if Bumblebee came on by here?"

Optimus nodded, "Bumblebee said that you and the others were killed by Wasp. But based seeing you three and Wasp here, that story seems untrue."

The girls gave confirming smiles,

"If you three made it out, where are the others?"

Sunny looked back to Wasp, "Show him."

Wasp looked back at Sunny and gave a wink. Wasp hit a button on the side of his head, and he pulled out the small blue microchip that contained the evidence and data that he had collected.

"Wasp have evidence to prove Wasp innocent," Wasp replied.

Optimus nodded as he accepted the data chip from Wasp. He placed it in a card reader, and it slipped into the main control computer. The monitor began displaying the video footage that Wasp had revealed to the girls earlier. All eyes were glued onto the screen as they watched the footage play. None of them made a sound, none of them made a movement. They just watched and listened carefully to what was on the screen.

Little did any of them know for right behind them, the Bumblebee that arrived had other plans in mind...

The footage ended with the imposter Wasp shutting off the video feed leaving static, and the little card ejected out into the palm of Optimus Prime. He took a moment to let what he had seen sink into his head. Wasp wasn't a Decepticon after all...

Optimus turned to look at Fluttershy and Wasp.

"So this Decepticon had framed you for a crime you never committed?" Optimus asked.

Wasp nodded, "Wasp sent to stockade, making Wasp all confused..."

The Autobots looked to one another, all with some shocked looks.

"Wasp rushed in time to warn Autobots, changeling follow Wasp on Earth, changeling pose as--"

"Wasp!"

The Autobots turned their heads to see Bumblebee standing right behind them, looking shocked out of his mind. Wasp however, snarled and his eyes exchanged to a look of pure death.

"Y-you're okay, what are you doing here?"

Lemon groaned as she looked at Sunny Flare, "Does he really think that's gonna work?"

Wasp however gave a small smirk, before going back to his angry face. Maybe he could have a bit of fun with this imposter?

"Oh not much, just seeking revenge on the bot who ruined Wasp's life!", Wasp yelled as he stomped over to the Bumblebee imposter. The other Autobots readied their weapons and stood in fighting positions. This was about to get rough...

Bumblebee just gave a smirk to Wasp and pointed his arm to the right towards a switch near the door. Wasp didn't even see the gun in his hand. Bumblebee pulled the trigger and the doors to the base sealed up, closing the entrance. The Autobots all turned their heads to see the doors close, and the lights shot out from another blast.

"Oh geez, not again!" Sunny shouted.

The lights flickered back on. Once they turned their heads, all of their eyes bulged out of their heads to look at Wasp... and Wasp. Both Wasp's stared at each other with angry looks, both looking like they were ready to pounce the scrap out of each other with snarling mouths.

Lemon groaned again, "Oh come on! Not this again!"

The Transformers will return after these messages...
