Equestria Girls In Disguise: Ghosts Of Our Past
Changeling
Previous ChapterNext ChapterWe now return to the Transformers...
The Autobots stood flabbergasted with what they were seeing. Two Beachcombers? Were their eyes deceiving them?
"Huh?" Wasp said as he looked at the two doubles.
Bumblebee's eyes were bulging out of his face when he was looking at them. This was remarkable.
Everyone except for Bumblebee began to back away from the two buggy cars with some shocked and concerned looks. Bumblebee looked at the two of them again who continued to stay in place and scratched his chin.
"Wait a minute... Fluttershy, didn't you say that you found Wasp tied up in a cave and you were put into that same spot with him?" Bumblebee asked.
"Uh huh," Fluttershy replied.
Bumblebee looked back at both Beachcombers with a serious look.
"Wasp, I'm willing to bet that the same doppelganger who framed you before followed you here because of the evidence you've got. One Beachcomber, one changeling. And the best way to tell them apart is, Beachcomber! Transform!"
Both Beachcombers began to transform into robot modes. Arms rotating out, heads popping out of their chests, and their legs folding out from their backs emerging into their robot forms. Not surprisingly, they looked just the same in robot modes as well.
Everyone's eyes widened again to see the two twins. Very uncanny.
"Okay..." Bumblebee replied.
Both Beachcombers stood face to face, observing one another. Both kept tilting side to side, just analyzing their looks, both astounded by what they were seeing.
"The resemblance is remarkable..." Sunny Flare said.
"But how do we know who's our Beach buddy?" Lemon asked.
"Well, another way to tell them apart is... uh..." Bumblebee droned off as he looked at them.
Both Beachcombers continued to stare blankly at each other, they didn't seem like they were paying attention to Bumblebee or the others, they were too busy admiring themselves.
Bumblebee's eyes continued to dart back and forth as he observed the two of them. How could they find out the difference? What could they do to find out the difference? Before anyone could react, they watched one of the Beachcombers stick his arms out and some birds came flying by and landed on his arms. He tilted his head, looking at the bird.
"Hm... a nice little bluejay, lets see if I can learn your language..." he said.
The others looked at one another, and then gazed back at the other Beachcomber. The other one just gave them a snarl. Without saying a word, he violently formed into vehicle mode, and he raced right off into the woods not looking back kicking up dirt and mud right on them.
"That's him! We got to stop him!" Bumblebee ordered.
Those who could convert into cars zoomed off after them and the girls chased right after them.
Bumblebee led the pack as he skidded across the path shooting off dirt into the woods. Behind Bumblebee was Wasp, right behind following was Outback who continued to swerve and sway around the dirt as they continued a charge, and Beachcomber was smack behind Outback.
The three cars made a stop and converted into robot modes. And Blaster flew out of Bumblebee's driver seat and transformed into robot mode. Right behind them, the girls were catching up with them, all of them out of breath.
"Come on! He ran right in that cave! We have to find him fast!" Bumblebee said.
Before the girls could even get their attention, the sentient robots just charged right into the cave leaving them by themselves.
"Oh, owwie..." Lemon said feeling a scrape on her knee.
"Come on, we're gonna lose them and the changeling!" Sunny called as she and Fluttershy ran inside leaving Lemon outside still trying to catch her breath.
Once inside, Sunny Flare and Fluttershy continued to run as the two of them ran inside the cave determined to catch the double. But there was one problem. The group had separated into different parts of the cave, and there was no one anywhere to be seen.
"Where did they go?" Sunny asked.
"I don't know," Fluttershy said.
All of the Autobots had been split up inside of the cave as they looked around, trying to find the fugitive. But it wasn't easy. For one the cave was very dark and they could barely see a thing, but another reason being that because of how thick the cave walls were, they could barely contact anyone.
Wasp kept pounding the side of his head communicator, trying to see if he could get it to work. But all the green robot received was earpiercing loud feedback.
"Agh... Why Wasp com no work?" Wasp whined.
But as Wasp made a turn, he stopped when he gazed towards a yellow Autobot around his size.
"Bumblebot? Do tunnels cross?" Wasp asked.
Bumblebee didn't say anything, but his expression changed to a scowl and his fist made a sucker-punch straight across Wasp's face sending him flying onto the ground.
"AGH!"
Wasp fell to the ground. But he didn't stay down for long. For when he gazed back up he saw Bumblebee run right by into the darkness. His form changed as he ran, his colors began to change to green, his head changed into a different head mold, and his body structure changed to look exactly like Wasp himself.
The real Wasp gasped and quickly got back up on his feet and chased after the imposter.
"Bumblebot! Autobots! Imposter pose as Wasp!" Wasp screamed.
Over with Bumblebee, he walked through more parts of the cave trying to find the fugitive. Bumblebee's eyes kept gazing about as he looked and looked and looked. Where was he? This changeling bot had to be around here somewhere.
The sound of running footsteps got his attention and he looked down a part of a cave and saw Wasp running right towards him.
"Oh Wasp, have you found--"
Bumblebee's face was met with a punch going right across him, throwing him down to the ground. He fell flat on his back and groaned from the pain. Looking upside down from the angle he was on, he could see the running figure change his form looking like someone completely different. Bumblebee snarled as he watched the figure continue to run.
Just then, coming around the corner was a green figure that stopped where Bumblebee stood. He lowered a hand and a friendly smile to help Bumblebee get up on his feet. Bumblebee accepted and stood back up on his feet. The two of them nodded and ran down the tunnels once again.
Just up ahead was a big cave room that was near the exit to escape, and they were looking at one single solitary bot that stood in the middle. On the sides of Bumblebee and Wasp were the rest of the girls, Beachcomber, Outback, and Blaster. And the bot they were facing right in the center was... Blaster?
Bumblebee's jaw widened a bit, and he scratched his optics trying to make sure he wasn't seeing anything. It looked like Blaster, but now this just added on another challenge. Blaster was there, and on the right side of Outback. One of them was the imposter, another was their real friend. But who?
"Hey guys, how come you're staring at me?", said the Blaster in front of them.
The Blaster on their right looked flabbergasted and snarled, "That's not me! That sounds nothing like me!"
"No! That's not me!" the other Blaster yelled.
The group backed away from both Blasters with some shocked and concerned looks on their faces.
"How can figure who's our Blaster?" Bumblebee asked.
A sound of fingers snapped.
"I've got an idea dudes! Blaster's my main man, I can figure this out," Lemon interrupted, "I think."
"But Lemon," Sunny interrupted putting a hand on Lemon's shoulder, "How can you find out who's the real Blaster?"
"Easy dude, I can ask them questions only the real Blaster would know," Lemon grinned. She looked back at the two of them, "Are you dudes ready?"
Both of them nodded.
"Okay, question number 1. What condiment did I accidentally spill on your speaker a few weeks ago?"
The Blaster on the left spoke up first, "Was it ketchup?"
"Yes!" Lemon cheered.
The other Blaster huffed.
"Okay, question number 2. What is the name of the concert I took you to last Friday?" Lemon asked.
The Blaster on the right spoke this time, "Easy, Remains of the Day."
"Right on! Okay, two for two. Lets see if we can go for a third one..." Lemon's face brightened, and a big devious grin came on her face, "Okay... lets try this one. How many times have I accidentally tossed a pair of my underwear on you?"
The Blaster on the right snarled and huffed, "14 times. That's starting to get annoying you know?"
Lemon chuckled, "Okay, okay, lets try one last one."
"Uh Lemon, I think we've found our bot--" Bumblebee said.
"Can I please ask one more? Please? Just to be sure?" Lemon said with big puppy-dog eyes.
Bumblebee stayed silent for a moment and sighed, "Fine."
Lemon made a fist pump into the air, "Yes! Don't worry Bee, this question will really find the real Blaster."
Lemon turned back around to the two Blasters and gave a grin, "What are the name of your cassette tapes?"
The Blaster on the left was silent, and he looked a little confused and concerned. The other Blaster though raised a hand.
"Uh... Ravage?" the Blaster on the left said.
The Blaster on the right gave a devious grin, and hit a button on the side of his chest which opened up his chest compartment. Out from his chest came four cassette tapes which transformed into their robotic forms.
"Steeljaw, Ramhorn, Eject, and Rewind!" Blaster said in a silly tone.
The others looked back to the other Blaster who snarled as he backed away.
"We've got you now Decepticon..." Bumblebee said.
The fake Blaster just gave a chuckle, "Do you really believe that, Autobot?"
The imposter's body transformed again changing his appearance. But this time he looked like someone else. His skin changed to look mostly red and maroon colored with a few hints of black. There were a few yellow glows streaked on his shoulders, and a few glows of red as well. On his shoulders there were some Autobot symbols that had looked as if they had been scratched out for decades, and on his face he had a red visor over his eyes.
Bumblebee gave a bizarre look to the figure, "The heck!? Who's that?"
The red robot just chuckled, "You poor sad Autobot. You really don't understand who you're facing, do you?"
Wasp and the other Autobots just gave a deranged look to the imposter.
"That makes no sense at all! Who are you really!?" Bumblebee yelled.
The imposter chuckled and changed his form again, this time resembling a protoform mold that was similar to Wasp. Only he had some differences between him and Wasp. His skin color was a blend of maroon and red, and he had a black mask on his face. Bumblebee gasped when he saw who stood before him.
"Volks!? You!? You followed Wasp here!? Why?" Bumblebee cried.
Volks chuckled, "You don't understand do you Bumblebee? Your friend Wasp here was the only bot who was ever onto discovering something dangerous. He found more evidence and proof that led to me being the real spy, so I did what I could to get him off my trail. Even if it meant making you believe he was the enemy and sending him to the stockade..." Volks chuckled.
Bumblebee gave a somber look on his face to Wasp. He couldn't believe he was hearing this, "You set him up! You made me turn on my best friend!"
Volks just rolled his eyes, "What a shocker..."
Bumblebee snarled, "That's it. You're dead now. When I get my hands on you, you're gonna pay."
Volks gave a devious grin, "Or maybe it'll be Wasp is going to pay..."
Wasp gave a concerned look, "W-What does Volks-bot mean?"
"Maybe when I find the Autobots I can tell them that Wasp has finished all of you off along with Volks and I'll be coming in bringing backup to put an end to you." Volks replied.
Wasp snarled. "Wasp never go back to stockade, never..."
Volks gave Wasp a smug look, "Oh really? You think they'll believe you? I know they'll believe me, especially since I can do this..."
Volk's body changed form after form after form, changing into each of the Autobots that stood in front of him. He was enjoying the different body changes a lot evidenced by the smug look on his face.
"You're not gonna get away with... wait a minute." Bumblebee paused. "What do you mean, with Volks?"
The Volks that stood in front of them paused for a moment, giving a bit of a concerned look.
"You're not Volks, are you?"
Volks just rolled his eyes, "How stupid are you Autobot? Do you really believe someone like him would betray you?"
"Well..." Bumblebee scratched his head, "I don't really know him that much to begin with..."
Volks laughed, "Exactly why I was able to trick you into hurting your own friend. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got Autobots to report to. But before I leave, I suppose I'll leave you with one final appearance... my real appearance..."
The imposter before them began changing his form. But with the form he was turning into, it wasn't anything they had ever seen. His neck extended out and was slowly turning from maroon to black. His face was fading from having facial features to nothing, except for two black eyes glaring at them. His arms that had tons of metal and bulkiness to them were turning into small, long and slender with sharp talons. His feet that were huge and metallic were splitting up into four bug-like feet. And his back began sprouting small metallic parts that looked like bug wings. And the lower part of his body began extending out, forming an abdomen.
He stood with his eyes glaring at them, and his feet planted right into the ground, standing his territory.
The other Autobots including the girls looked horrified with what they were looking at. The form that they were looking at wasn't something they imagined at all. This Decepticon wasn't anything they had seen before.
"For a bit of time... I considered allowing Wasp to live, but now... I see a bigger opportunity ahead, to earn the trust of Optimus Prime, and to send the downfall for the Autobots..."
The bug-like Decepticon scurried out of the cave and the others began a chase after it. But as they made a turn they saw the bug standing at the entrance with a gun in its tiny fingers. He raised it up to the top of the cave and pulled the trigger on it, making a large rumbling noise to the top.
The others looked around and were a little frightened and worried about the noises they heard. There was a bit of dust and ashes falling past them, and the rumbling noise got louder.
"He's closing the entrance, come on!"
Everyone ran as fast as they could, with the girls up front, Wasp behind, followed by Bumblebee and the rest of the Autobots.
The girls ran out of the entrance making a jump onto the soft dirt with Wasp falling right behind them. And at that very moment, tons of boulders came tumbling down and crashed right behind them, blocking the entrance. The good news was they had made it out of the cave. But there was one small problem... the four of them were the only ones outside, and the others weren't with them.
"Wait..." Sunny said, "Where's the others?"
The others looked back to the cave entrance that was blocked and gave a horrified and scared look. They were still inside that cave...
The Transformers will return after these messages...
Author's Note
Okay, yeah. One sentence describes this entire episode. ITS TOO (BLEEP) RUSHED. I'm not venting or whining mind you, but merely stating what I think.
But aside from that, the real villain has been revealed, and I'm positive you have it figured out. I'd put a picture of him on here but I couldn't find any good photos to use.
As always, please leave comments! I love to read your comments.
