Equestria Girls In Disguise: Ghosts Of Our Past
Meet Wasp
Previous ChapterNext ChapterWe now return to the Transformers...
Fluttershy couldn't believe her eyes. Wasp was here. The very bot that broke her friend's spark for being a spy was here. He was on this planet. But something else didn't add up. How did he give a fright to Bumblebee out in the town, but he is right here held captive?
Curious, she slowly moved towards the bound Autobot with the utmost grace trying not to startle him. However she could tell he was a little scared to be in the same room as her. He slowly kept trying to back up into the wall, and she could hear him breath heavily under the clamp that kept him silent.
"Its okay, I'm not here to hurt you. Just let me help you get free," Fluttershy offered.
Wasp still kept himself backed off into the cavern wall, scared out of his mind. This creature he was looking at was so new to him he wasn't sure if she was dangerous.
"Okay, I know you're scared, and that's okay. I'm a little scared too. We can do this in baby steps. Can you at least let me get that clamp off your mouth so you can speak?"
Wasp wasn't sure, but it didn't look like he had much choice. It was either stay captive or be freed by an organic. Either way he wanted out of his bonds. He slowly gave a frightened nod.
Fluttershy carefully moved forward towards Wasp, near the side of his face. She opened up her saddlebag and pulled out a small little device. A gift handed to her by the Autobots to help defend herself and a tool to keep in ever there was an emergency. She pulled out a small little cutting tool, and began cutting off the side of the clamp that was keeping itself attached on Wasp's face. Luckily for Wasp, this kind of tool was simple and it didn't create a ton of sparks that would come flying at his face.
The final cut was made, and a part of the clamp just creaked and hung off the side of Wasp's face. She was almost done. Fluttershy moved over onto the other side near Wasp and made incisions on the other side of the clamp in the same process that she had done before to get him free.
One more cut was made, and the clamp fell off of Wasp's face, allowing him to breathe again. The Cybertronian coughed heavily, being allowed to breathe once more. It was difficult to breathe underneath that clamp.
His jaw scrunched around as he was adjusting to finally being able to speak again, and he looked down back to Fluttershy, along with the two Autobot cassettes that stood by her side snarling.
"Wasp thank you, organic," Wasp said, still trying to catch his breath.
"Its not a problem. I'm Fluttershy. And you're Wasp, aren't you?" Fluttershy said.
Wasp gave a nod.
"How come you were acting scared when I came close to you?" Fluttershy asked.
"Wasp afraid of organics. Wasp never met organics, only know organics from tales from Autobot Elite Guard," Wasp replied.
Fluttershy could tell Steeljaw was annoyed because he was swatting at his face with his paw and lowering his head down. Obviously he was giving a gesture that said, 'are you kidding me right now'.
"Wasp, you don't need to be afraid of me. The organics," Fluttershy paused to clear her throat, "the humans, are no threat to you. In fact, the Autobots that are here with me are friends of mine."
Wasp blinked, "Humans... no threat?"
Fluttershy nodded.
"In fact my friend is... wait a minute. How did you get here on Earth?" Fluttershy raised a brow.
"Wasp will explain everything. If it means getting freed and giving proof to Autobots, proving Wasp innocent," Wasp replied.
The two cassettes snarled as they stared at Wasp, but Fluttershy looked back at them giving them a stern look. Once they got a look of her face, they stopped growling, but they still stood their ground, waiting for whatever move Wasp might make.
Fluttershy nodded, "Please continue."
Wasp blinked again, and then moved his head around in every direction he could, trying to stretch it out. He had been stuck like that for so long that his muscles were beginning to lock up.
"Back on Cybertron, Wasp was best friends with Autobot named Bumblebot. But Wasp framed for crime Wasp never commit. Wasp framed guilty of being evil, working for Decepticons. Wasp not traitor though. Wasp broke out, Wasp found evidence hidden in storage locker of Autobot who claimed me traitor. Wasp stole evidence, then sneak out of stockade. Wasp distracted guards, then jump into Spacebridge, finding Wasp here on this planet. Wasp thought he was alone, Wasp believed all on own away from Decepticons, but someone followed Wasp here, and now Wasp held captive!" Wasp explained.
Fluttershy scratched her chin, pondering what was said. She wasn't sure if she should believe this Cybetronian that she just met, but maybe he had some more explanations that he had to say.
"So wait, do you know someone named Bumblebee?" Fluttershy asked.
Wasp's eyes widened, "Bumblebot? Yes, Bumblebot. Wasp must find Bumblebot. Wasp must show evidence to Bumblebot. Is Bumblebot on this planet?"
Fluttershy nodded, "Why do you say someone framed you?"
Wasp gestured to his back, "Secret compartment. Open it up, and place data chip in Wasp's head. Wasp will show you the truth."
Fluttershy wasn't sure if he was lying or not, but if he was telling the truth maybe it wouldn't hurt to find out. So she moved towards his back and found a switch to open up a compartment. Once it opened up she saw a shiny blue microchip the size of her hand.
"Place it on the side of Wasp's head," Wasp said to behind her.
Fluttershy listened, and put the data chip off the side of Wasp's head in a little slot that was open. Once it was placed in, she stepped back and watched as Wasp's eyes projected a holographic projection, almost like a video screen.
On the left side of the screen, in the lower left corner there was some Cybertronian writing off the side. And from where this camera view was seen, it was looking like a security camera had been capturing footage. There was a little bit of static on the screen, and the image got a little fuzzy a few times now and then.
The camera was mounted in a military barracks like room. There were several beds that were rested all over the place, which were metallic and flat. They didn't really look very comfortable. And in front of those beds, there were a few storage lockers that were sitting in front of them, places for each recruit's items and personal belongings to be placed in. And off to the right of the video screen there were several lockers set up and a few benches that were sitting in the middle of the lockers that were put up.
On the video, there near one of the doors was Bumblebee and Wasp standing together having a chat. But also in the barracks, there was another Autobot seen on the camera, just leaning against the lockers, standing by himself.
Bumblebee led Wasp to follow him out of the barracks, leaving the other Autobot alone.
"Focus on lonely Autobot," Wasp said.
Fluttershy and the Autobot cassettes kept their eyes on the only Autobot in the barracks by himself. There they could see he was looking around, making sure he was by himself. In a very suspicious manner...
Once the Autobot was alone, he rushed off to a storage bin and pried it open. There he was placing a small electronic device inside of it, and then closed the storage bin with a slam. He didn't want anyone to be seeing him. But before he went anywhere, he began changing his shape.
His head transformed to look like... Wasp. And his body changed to form his exact shape and form. Who was this?
And on the video, 'Wasp' hit the side of his ear, getting in contact.
"Lord Megatron, Wasp is no longer going to be a nuisance. I've planted the device in his locker. Once they find out he's the spy instead of me, everyone will be off my trail soon enough."
"Good my double agent. But stay vigilant. We cannot allow any Autobots to discover your secret..." Megatron said on the other line.
"Yes Lord Megatron. Over and out," the fake Wasp said.
Once the transmission hung up, the fake Wasp ran off to the side of the barracks near the storage lockers. And before the camera could react, Wasp's face jumped up in front of the camera and smirked an evil smirk.
"The Autobots will never see it coming..."
Once he spoke, the camera cut out to static, signalling the end of the tape. Wasp's eyes turned back into his normal pink looking state, and he looked at a shocked Fluttershy. She couldn't believe her eyes. She couldn't even comprehend what she just saw.
"You... you are innocent..." Fluttershy murmured.
Wasp nodded.
"And... no one believed you?" Fluttershy asked.
Wasp somberly shook his head. And Fluttershy could see a little bit of liquid tearing up in his eyes.
"Wasp spend stellar-cycles in stockade, lose all of Wasp's friends, and never get into the Elite Guard with Bumblebot. All thanks to Decepticon!" Wasp cried. "Wasp hope Optimus and Autobots here will listen, give proof to Autobot Elite Guard... and maybe Wasp might reinstate in Elite Guard with Bumblebot."
"Um... Wasp?" Fluttershy asked.
"Yes?"
"Bumblebee never made it, into the Elite Guard. He joined Optimus and the other Autobots here on Earth because he was heart-broken. He thought you were really a... a traitor," Fluttershy said.
Wasp's eyes lowered to a somber look. This wasn't news he had hoped for.
"But... Wasp not traitor..." Wasp whimpered.
Wasp lowered his head, and his eyes closed. He felt like crying, but he didn't have it in him to do it.
Fluttershy stayed silent, looking at the sad expression that was permanent on Wasp. What could she do? Wasp was innocent in all of this. He did nothing wrong, and he wanted to explain himself to all of the others. But how? Wait a minute. They were still armed. They still had their weaponry. They could break out of the cell with him, and Fluttershy had tools to cut through the restraints that held Wasp. Maybe if she cut him free, he could help bust them all out.
"Wasp? I think I can help you get back with Bumblebee," Fluttershy offered.
Wasp perked up. Did he hear that correctly?
"Wasp can reunite... with Bumblebot?" Wasp asked.
Fluttershy gave a smile and nod, "Uh huh. But first we need to get you out and free. We got to go find him before that other guy does."
Wasp nodded in agreement.
"But wait, do you know who that was?" Fluttershy asked.
Wasp shook his head, "All Wasp know is figure blended in darkness, and say he have plans for Wasp. Wasp now afraid..."
"Then we'll need to leave her before he gets us," Fluttershy finished.
Back out in the woods, the Autobots and the girls rejoined back at the campsite after a complete failure of searching. They couldn't find Steeljaw, Ramhorn, or Fluttershy anywhere. And Beachcomber was slowly becoming tired of tossing Bumblebee into the lake for several hours. Bumblebee kept on swimming back to the edge of the dock, making the task of tossing him out into the lake tiring.
"I'm telling you guys, we have to tell Bumblebee, we can't lie to him about this," Sunny said.
"But what if he thinks that Wasp is here?"
"I'm sure he won't think that. We just need to find a way to tell him without getting him too worried," Blaster said.
Everyone saw Beachcomber running towards them, looking exhausted and out of breath almost like he had run a marathon.
"His partner and friend is missing, he's gonna be worried either way," Beachcomber said.
At that moment, they looked back to see Bumblebee looking cross and completely unamused, dripping some more water from his skin.
"I don't know what's going on, but can someone tell Beachcomber to stop tossing me into the lake? I'm getting tired of this," Bumblebee said, spitting out more water. He left behind a trail of water droplets and puddles right behind him.
The others looked back at Bumblebee with some slightly nervousness and hesitation.
"So... did you have a nice swim?" Blaster asked.
Bumblebee raised a brow towards Blaster. "Okay... where is Fluttershy? I've been trying to call her while Beach kept tossing me into the lake, but I haven't heard from her."
Everyone stayed silent and looked at one another looking nervous. No one wanted to receive Bumblebee chewing out at them.
"Guys, I really don't like how you're being quiet during this. Where is she?"
Still no response came from anyone.
"Guys? Did you lose Fluttershy in the woods?" Bumblebee asked.
Everyone wanted to say no, but at this point they could tell Bumblebee was seeing through their lying skin. They sighed.
"Okay, Bee we should have said this when you got up. Steeljaw went missing and we've been out on a search for him, but we haven't found him. Fluttershy took Ramhorn with her out into the woods and they reported coming across a cave that had Cybertronian police gear, but that was the last we heard of them," Blaster said.
Bumblebee sighed, "And why didn't you tell me this before?"
"Well... we were afraid of stressing you out," Sunny said.
"Like I'm not already!?" Bumblebee yelled.
Everyone backed off from Bumblebee, he looked like he was about to blow a fuse.
"If someone goes missing, you should have told me. If she's hurt, I need to find out. If you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go try and find her on my own. Thanks so much for telling me," Bumblebee huffed.
Bumblebee pushed Outback and Lemon off to the side as he stomped into the woods, still steaming with anger. Of all the times they couldn't tell him something, it had to be this.
Bumblebee looked around in the woods by himself, trying to search for Fluttershy. He never stopped to take a break and catch his breath from all of the running, he was so scared and worried that she could be hurt out there by herself.
Bumblebee peaked through some trees, trying to see for anything in sight that was suspicious. So far only a few trees, a few plants, some more trees, and more trees. Nothing that stood out in the slightest.
"Ugh," Bumblebee scrunched his face, "This is hopeless."
Bumblebee turned around in the other direction. Maybe it'd be better to have more bots and people by his side, besides it wouldn't be good to be by himself out there.
What Bumblebee didn't realize though was that there was a pair of red eyes observing him as he walked along the path that had been paved in the woods. With the utmost grace and delicate movements, it began to follow Bumblebee, avoiding sight.
As if the strange being following Bumblebee wasn't bad enough, a creepy tune began to play as it followed Bumblebee. But Bumblebee never heard it, the creature just hummed it to himself.
You most certainly will die...
You most certainly will die...
Bumblebee passed by another tree, and continued walking. But the creature continued to follow and hum along with the tune he came up with. It was a tune he always hummed to himself whenever he was getting ready to strike his prey.
Changeling Con, Changeling Con
Sometimes finishes off his prey
Changeling Con, Changeling Con
You won't see the light of day
Changeling Con, Changeling Con
Blends in well within the dark
Changeling Con, Changeling Con
He'll take what's left of your spark...
Bumblebee was almost his way back to the campsite but something caught his attention. The short end of the tune made his audio sensors perk up, and he turned around to look behind him to see if anyone was following him. But there was nothing to be seen. All that was right behind him was more of the path that was paved and more trees that were off to the side.
The sound that he had listened to before had stopped. Now the only sound he heard was the sound of the crickets chirping and the birds singing.
"I could have sworn someone was there..." Bumblebee muttered.
Bumblebee immediately returned back to the rest of the camp members who had been standing there the entire time. All of them had been waiting for him to walk back to them ever since he just stomped off into the woods without any direction.
"Hello again Bumblebee," Outback asked.
Bumblebee looked back for a moment, checking for if anyone was seeing him. And in the group, Blaster looked off to the side and gave a shocked expression.
"I don't think we're alone here..." Bumblebee said with worry.
"How did you know?" Blaster asked, gesturing to several figures that were on the same path that he was walking on. Bumblebee looked behind and gasped. A burst of joy erupted his system when he saw who was walking.
Fluttershy along with Steeljaw and Ramhorn were right by her side.
"Fluttershy!" Bumblebee called.
He rushed over to Fluttershy, and swooped her up in the air giving her a big hug. The others gave small little giggles and snickers to see Bumblebee's reaction.
"Uh, I'm okay Bumblebee...could you put me down? I-I can't... breathe..." Fluttershy wheezed, trying to breathe.
Bumblebee immediately stopped and let her back on her feet.
"I'm so sorry, but I was so worried about you! I thought someone had taken you away," Bumblebee said.
"I'm okay Bumblebee, really. And uh... well... met Wasp in the cave," Fluttershy muttered under her breath.
"What?" Bumblebee asked.
The other Autobots looked at the two cassette animals who rushed back into the forest path. But they weren't running back into the forest. They stood there like if they were waiting for someone to come to where they stood.
"What are they doing?" Lemon asked.
Coming around the bend, there was the sound of metallic clanking of a Cybertronian walking. And from out the corner, they saw a shimmer of green walking towards the animal cassettes.
Once he was fully exposed, the Autobots except for Bumblebee who was more focused on Fluttershy gasped. He was here.
Bumblebee looked back up to see the Autobots shocked expressions, "What are you looking at?"
Fluttershy looked back and rubbed the back of her head, "Um... Bumblebee? I uh, met someone back in the cave where I found Steeljaw."
"What do you mean you met someone--" Bumblebee turned around to where Steeljaw and Ramhorn stood and gasped in shock and terror. It couldn't have been him. Why him?
"No..." Bumblebee gasped. He took one step back, his optics bulging out of his head looking horrified at what he was staring. It was like he was staring right at the sight of a monster that had just formed in front of his eyes and was ready to begin his slaughtering.
Wasp, who stood with Fluttershy and the two animal cassettes, gave a nervous smile on his face.
"Hello, Bumblebot. Been a while since Wasp see you..."
The Transformers will return after these messages...
Author's Note
I'm gonna admit guys, I feel like these are pretty rushed. Not as long or as detailed or interesting as Gallows of CHS was. But I'm not gonna stop, I'm just saying what I think.
And yeah, the Changeling Con song is pretty cringy, so sorry. Tried to create something creepy.
Anyways, hope you continue to enjoy what I've got, and as always, please leave comments! I love to read your comments!
