Equestria Girls In Disguise: Ghosts Of Our Past
In the town of Canterlot, in the suburban area where Canterlot High School was, it was the beginning of a morning. But not just any morning, it was everyone's favorite day of the week. It was Friday, and for all of the students of CHS, it meant they had the weekend to calm down and relax for the time being. But today was gonna be another school day.
In one of the small houses, the sun was shining right through the window of one particular girl. With pink hair and yellow and tanish skin. Her eyes opened for a moment, but then flinched at the bright light coming from the window. Way too bright.
She got up on her feet dressed in her butterfly pajamas and made a pit-stop to the bathroom. Once she was done, she ran back into her bedroom and changed into her normal clothes. But when she exited out of the room she was met with the smell of fresh food being cooked. The smell of pancakes had made its way through the air, and followed her all the way up into the next floor. It could only mean one thing...
Fluttershy walked downstairs and smiled at what she saw. Her Autobot guardian and new friend had been making breakfast for her to start off the day. His metal skin was covered in a little bit of flour and other baking ingredients. Pancakes were sizzling on the stove, and some of them were freshly stacked on a plate.
Soon enough, the yellow-skinned horned Autobot turned around and greeted Fluttershy with a smile.
"Morning Fluttershy," Bumblebee said.
"Morning Bumblebee," Fluttershy replied, "How are you?"
"I'm doing okay. Did a surveillance check last night, no signs of Decepticon fugitives, or any of Starscream's lackeys around. And as a special note, Optimus gave me today off. So that means I can spend all day with you today," Bumblebee smiled as he handed Fluttershy a plate with fresh pancakes on it.
Fluttershy gave a smile too, "Really?"
Bumblebee nodded, "I'm free today. So, is there anything you want to do today?"
"Bumblebee, I have school today, remember?" Fluttershy asked.
"Oh... right. I forgot," Bumblebee said disappointingly.
Fluttershy looked back to see Bumblebee's disappointed face. She wanted to spend some time with him, she wanted to hang out with Bumblebee some more. But she had school, she couldn't afford to miss school. But how could they spend time together again? There had to be something.
"Wait. I think I have an idea. What if tomorrow we can go out to the Everfree forest for a picnic? We can invite our friends, and we can invite some of our Autobot friends with us?," Fluttershy offered.
Bumblebee pondered Fluttershy's offer, but eventually a smile came onto his face.
"I would love that," Bumblebee said. "But who can we take with us?"
"I can ask Lemon Zest. She says she loves the outdoors," Fluttershy asked. "And maybe Sunny Flare, she told me she was free this weekend."
Bumblebee nodded, "Can I invite Outback and Beachcomber? I know Outback's been wanting to hang out with Sunny some more, and Beachcomber has been dying to go out into the woods."
"Absolutely!", Fluttershy said.
Bumblebee shared another smile, but then his smile crept away when he looked at the time. "Slag! Look at the time!"
Fluttershy gasped, and quickly ran to grab her things, "Come on, we got to get going."
Fluttershy quickly ran back upstairs to put her boots on in a jiffy. She zoomed into the bathroom, and proceeded to brush her teeth. Once she was done, she ran downstairs to the door where Bumblebee stood holding it open for Fluttershy. Bumblebee allowed Fluttershy to go through while he closed it behind. Fluttershy pulled out her key, and locked it and walked out to the sidewalk where Bumblebee stood.
"Allow me," Bumblebee stood onto the side of the road, and transformed into his car mode. Once in vehicle mode, his engine revved, and he opened up a door for Fluttershy to get in. Fluttershy put her stuff in the shotgun seat, and she moved herself to the driver seat. Bumblebee closed the doors, and then drove off, going on his way to Canterlot High School.
The drive over to Canterlot High wasn't an issue. The roads weren't as crowded, and there was plenty of space for Bumblebee to try and drive through.
Bumblebee made another turn and pulled up to the back of the school where the parking lot was. Only a few cars were there, and the only ones that were there were Bumblebee's Autobot friends, and a few cars that belonged to the students.
Bumblebee's doors opened and Fluttershy stepped out with her things. Fluttershy smiled as she looked at Bumblebee. "I'll see you after school."
"I'll be waiting," Bumblebee said as he turned off his engine.
Fluttershy walked to the front of the school, meeting a few of her friends along the way with a smile.
Bumblebee just sat there and watched as Fluttershy left. What was he gonna do now for the rest of the day? He pondered for a moment, until someone spoke.
"Morning Bumblebee," A red car said.
Bumblebee could tell who it was right away. Right beside him on his left, there was a red 1980s Lamborghini Countach. Straight away, he could tell who it was.
"Morning Sideswipe. How are you?" Bumblebee asked.
As the two began a conversation, neither one of them picked up on the strange green car that resembled Bumblebee's car form that pulled up into a parking space right across from them.
"Feeling pretty good today," Sideswipe asked.
"You feeling any better after that incident a few weeks ago? On Halloween..." Bumblebee hesitated, unsure if he had offended Sideswipe.
Sideswipe chuckled, "Bumblebee, I'm fine. Look, that thing that attacked us wasn't the bot I knew a long time ago. He's perfectly fine, locked up in cryo-stasis with the rest of our fallen Autobots. I promise. Now what about you? Anything new with you? You doing okay?"
"Not so great. I forgot that Fluttershy had school today, and now that means I won't be able to spend the day off with her today," Bumblebee sighed.
"Well why not just ask Optimus to take tomorrow off?" Sideswipe asked.
"Yeah, we've got a bunch of Autobots back at base who can take the shift for you," Another car said.
Bumblebee saw on his right there was another car beside him. A white 1976 Porshe 935 colored in racing stripes, and a number 4 on the side doors and on the hood.
"But Jazz, I don't even know if I can do that. Does anyone even do that?" Bumblebee asked with worry.
"You'll never know unless you ask Bee," Jazz said.
Bumblebee sighed. Maybe it was worth a try. Maybe he could take tomorrow off instead. There wasn't a lot of Decepticon activity going on so maybe they could go out, maybe they could relax. Maybe they could go to the Everfree forest.
But Bumblebee's train of thought had come to a close real fast. Inside, his rear-view mirror, adjusted to look behind him and he saw something that wasn't right. There in the parking lot was another Volkswagon Beetle car, just like him. But something about it didn't seem right. It was slowly moving on its own, and there was no driver inside pulling it out. Unless...
"Uh guys? Am I the only one that sees there's no driver in that car?" Bumblebee said.
At that moment, the green car revved its wheels began to veer away from the parking lot, throwing up some steam and smoke as the driver-less car swerved out.
"That's no car," Sideswipe said.
All three Autobots pulled out of the parking lot and began to swerve and drift along the road as they pursued after the green look-alike. Their engines roared along the road as their tires kept on going, trying to gain speed. Smoke came out of their exhaust pipes, and all three of their engines combined together created one monstrous sound that followed the green car.
"Who do you think that is?" Jazz asked.
"No idea, but whoever this guy is, he's probably a Decepticon. No one just steers out of a parking lot that violently, especially with no driver," Sideswipe said.
"I don't care who he is, we got to put a halt to his fast driving before anyone else gets hurt," Bumblebee said.
Bumblebee sped up even faster, even leaving Jazz and Sideswipe right behind him in a cloud of dust.
"Bumblebee!" Jazz called out.
Bumblebee sped faster after the green car. The two cars swerved and they made a sharp turn right down another street, and Bumblebee kept on racing, trying to get in front.
The two cars kept on racing, and their speeds moved up even faster. Faster to the point where they zoomed past red lights and almost hit other cars along the way. Neither of them even saw the police truck that was out on the road. The police truck then activated its siren, and it chased after the two cars.
"Attention hot-rodders, by order of the Canterlot Police Department, you are under arrest!" the truck yelled.
"Strongarm, its me! Bumblebee!" Bumblebee yelled to the police truck behind him.
"Lieutenant Bumblebee? I'm so sorry, I didn't recognize your car mode. I'm still trying to learn everyone by their vehicle modes. Why are you chasing that green car?" Strongarm asked.
"I think its a Decepticon! There's no driver!" Bumblebee replied.
Strongarm sped up faster to line up with Bumblebee, and the two cars continued to drive faster chasing after the green car. They made another turn, and Strongarm sped up faster and veered the green car off to the right side of the street to try and force it to stop.
"Pull over! Now!" Strongarm yelled.
The green car didn't respond, but instead moved faster. Strongarm groaned in annoyance. She had just enough of this car. It violated enough rules already, but now it wasn't listening to an officer's instructions.
Strongarm sped up faster and slammed on the breaks, getting right up in front of the car, and transforming into robot mode. The green car made a stop and Bumblebee pulled up behind. Bumblebee then transformed into robot mode as well, and the two standing Autobots held their guns pointed towards the car.
"Alright, if you're a Cybertronian, transform now!" Strongarm barked.
The car didn't make a sound. No voice was heard, nothing was said. But soon enough, it began to transform. The front hood and lights transformed into feet, arms were pulling out from the back sides of the car, and eventually transforming revealing its robot mode.
From looking at the Cybertronian that was revealed, there were a few features that Strongarm took note of. For one, he looked like he had an Autobot symbol on his chest before, but it looked peeled off. Not to mention his eyes were colored pink. But when Bumblebee moved to the front and stood with Strongarm, he gasped in shock and terror. It couldn't be. It couldn't have been... him .
The bot that stood in front of him was someone he never expected to appear. Someone he would never despicably conceive in his head would happen. But what made it even stranger was the fact of how he looked. He transformed into an Earth based vehicle mode, but when he transformed, he still had a Cybertronian based form. But why?
The Cybertronian stared at the two of them in complete silence, and didn't say a word. The only movement or sound coming from him was his eyes glowing pink.
After another minute of silence, the Cybertronian made a run forward and smacked Strongarm off to the side, and made a spinning leg sweep onto Bumblebee, forcing him to trip. Once the two were down, the Cybertronian ran again. The two Autobots looked back up to see him revert from his regular Cybertronian form, back into an Earth-based vehicle form again, and sped off while ramming into some civilian cars along the way, not caring about any damage it may have caused.
Strongarm looked back to Bumblebee who looked purely traumatized. His breathing was shaking up, and his eyes were near to the point of almost crying.
But her attention was turned back to see Sideswipe and Jazz had finally caught up to them. They transformed into robot modes and gave Strongarm and Bumblebee a hand up. Bumblebee still rattled and clanked in his metal boots.
"Bee? You okay?" Jazz asked.
Bumblebee slowly shook his head.
"Are you hurt?" Strongarm asked.
Bumblebee shook his head no in response.
"Well, what's wrong?" Sideswipe asked.
Bumblebee looked back towards the damage that the pink-eyed Cybertronian had done, and attempted to speak. But the amount of shakiness in his voice made it hard to speak.
"I...I... I know who that Con is," Bumblebee quivered.
"Who?" Strongarm asked.
Bumblebee gulped, "Wasp..."
The Transformers will return after these messages...
Author's Note
Okay, so yeah, you now know it. Wasp from Transformers Animated has now entered this universe. About time huh?
But I am saying this one thing first. First of all, this isn't like in Transformers Animated with what happened to him before. Every Transformers universe has different renditions of characters, and like so I'm making another rendition of Wasp. I'm giving him a much different story here than he had in Animated...
Equestria Girls In Disguise: Ghosts Of Our Past
We now return to the Transformers...
The end of the school day had came, and the students were seen leaving the front entrance of the school, many with smiles on their faces. They were excited for the weekend, and more importantly, Fluttershy was excited to begin her quiet and calming nature weekend with Bumblebee.
"So do you know what you're gonna do when you bring him there?" Rainbow asked.
"I'm not even sure where to begin. Everything at the Everfree forest is just so amazing, I don't even now where to start," Fluttershy said.
"Maybe you should start with lunch first, I know there's a picnic ground there," Sunset replied.
The girls made another turn around going to the parking lot where their Autobot guardians were waiting for them. But Fluttershy noticed something weird. She thought she was looking at Bumblebee, but the old buggy car was colored in... gold.
"Bumblebee?" Fluttershy asked.
"Uh, yeah, hey Fluttershy, I'm here," the gold car said.
The other girls just chuckled. Instantly they knew who this car was.
"Goldbug, you're not fooling us. We know you're there, where's Bumblebee?" Sunset asked.
The gold colored car transformed revealed it wasn't Bumblebee at all. Instead it was Bumblebee's younger brother, Goldbug. Once a Throttlebot ally, then a member of Pipe's crew, and now ally here on Earth.
"Goldbug? How come you're here?" Fluttershy asked.
Goldbug took a knee down so he could get a better look to Fluttershy, and so he could hear her better.
"I'm afraid Bumblebee's kind of... well, out of commission," Goldbug said.
"What do you mean? Is he hurt?" Fluttershy said worryingly.
Goldbug shook his head no, "No he's not hurt... physically. But I think something that he just came across today traumatized him."
Twilight tilted her head, "What do you mean?"
"When you girls went inside the school, Bumblebee and some of the others chased someone out of the parking lot, and from what Bumblebee's told me, he just met a Decepticon fugitive. Someone from back on Cybertron, not any of the bots that escaped from the battlefield a couple of weeks ago," Goldbug said. "Let me tell you, I'm worried for him. I've never seen my big brother this shaken up."
"Did he tell you who it was?" Fluttershy asked.
Goldbug nodded, "He did, but I think it would be better if you heard from Bumblebee directly, instead of his brother. I can take you to him."
"Please do," Fluttershy said.
Goldbug hit the side of his ear, "Ratchet. We're gonna need a Groundbridge." Goldbug immediately transformed back into vehicle mode and opened up a car door for Fluttershy.
Once Fluttershy unloaded her stuff, she sat in the driver seat and buckled herself in. Goldbug closed the car doors, and pulled out of the parking lot, getting ready to drive. The rest of the girls and the Autobots followed as well, and they pulled out onto the road and began going straight.
Soon a green portal opened up, and the Autobots drove on through the glowing gateway.
Once they made it to the other side, Fluttershy stepped out of Goldbug, and allowed him to transform into robot mode. Both of them were greeted by Bumblebee who still looked stressed to the bone.
"Bumblebee?" Fluttershy quivered.
Bumblebee slowly moved forward and Fluttershy pulled him in for a hug.
"Bumblebee, what happened?" Fluttershy asked.
Bumblebee sighed, "Fluttershy, I'm afraid there's some things that I haven't told you about. Things that happened back on Cybertron, that I never told you."
Bumblebee was about to speak, but then he looked back up to see Goldbug and the other girls standing around. He didn't want to talk about this in front of anyone.
"Uh guys? Can I please talk with Fluttershy alone?" Bumblebee asked.
"Of course Bee. Come on guys, you can tell me how your day went over in the lounge room," Goldbug said, urging the girls to walk away to give the pink-haired girl and the small Autobot some privacy.
Bumblebee sighed, and he took a seat on the ground, against a wall. Fluttershy moved as well and sat next to Bumblebee.
"Okay, I think its time I told you about who I saw. He is, or was one of the only Autobots that I made a friend with back at Autobot boot camp on Cybertron. He and Hound were my only friends at that camp. Wasp was pretty quiet most of the time, and I saw why. He has some... uh... interesting speech patterns. Kind of like the Dinobots," Bumblebee began.
Fluttershy nodded, "Please continue. What was his name?"
"His name's Wasp. But, maybe I should begin when I first met him..."
Many years ago, on a much more lively and cleaner Cybertron, Bumblebee walked through one of the barracks in the camp, going to his locker. But he stopped when he heard some bots chuckling. And it sounded like they were laughing at someone.
Bumblebee turned around and saw some of them pointing and laughing at one bot in particular. One that shared Bumblebee's protoform mold, but colored green and had a different helmet.
"Leave Wasp alone!" The green bot yelled.
"Why are you even on this camp? You can't even speak right!" An Autobot retorted.
"No bot should be here if they keep sounding like they're drunk!"
Bumblebee growled. This had gone far enough.
The yellow Autobot stomped over to where they stood and interrupted.
"Hey! Leave him alone!" Bumblebee yelled.
The Autobots turned around, and huffed.
"You against us?" An Autobot snickered.
"No that would be me, Pointblank," Another voice interrupted.
Their eyes turned to see a bigger Autobot enter in, colored in green, with a rocket launcher mounted on his shoulder, and a grill on the front of his chest.
"Oh, uh... Hound, uh, what's up?" Pointblank stammered.
"If you want to survive, leave that bot alone. Now..."
The other Autobots just snarled and muttered something incomphrenisble as they walked away from the smaller Autobot. They didn't want their fun to be ruined, but they didn't want to mess with a bot like Hound. No one , messed with Hound.
Bumblebee looked back at Hound giving a thankful nod, and Hound exchanged one back just before walking out of the barracks. Seeing that no one else was there, Bumblebee approached the smaller green Autobot roughly around his size.
"Hey, you okay?" Bumblebee asked.
The Autobot looked back at Bumblebee, "Why Autobots no leave Wasp alone? Wasp not do anything..."
"I know. I don't think its fair that they were treating you like that. But... just out of curiosity, how come you talk like that?" Bumblebee hesitated.
The Autobot sighed, "Wasp was born like this. While Wasp's speech may not sound intelligent, Wasp let off more intelligence than Autobots think."
Bumblebee nodded, "I know how you feel there. Everyone keeps saying that about the Dinobots, but yet they've still got brains."
Wasp just looked away, heavy pain in his eyes. Until he saw a hand pat his shoulder. He looked back and saw Bumblebee giving a friendly smile.
"Hey, don't listen to those other bots. I know you've got skill. Wait, what's your name again?" Bumblebee asked.
"Wasp," Wasp said.
"Oh, right. Sorry, just wanted clarification. I'm Bumblebee. And if you need someone to watch your back from them, I'm willing to lend you a hand," Bumblebee said.
Wasp's pink eyes widened a bit, "Bumblebot... friend?"
Bumblebee gave a warm smile, "Yes. Friend."
Wasp gave somewhat of an embarassed smile, "Wasp never had friends before..."
"Really? Never?"
Wasp shook his head saying no. Bumblebee gave Wasp a smypathetic look on his face, but eventually it came to a warm and welcoming smile.
"Well you've got me now. Don't worry about being alone, I've got your back. What do you say I give you a hand with target practice? I could use a buddy to hang out with," Bumblebee offered.
Wasp pondered Bumblebee's thought for a moment, and eventually gave a nod in response saying yes, along with a friendly face. Bumblebee grinned and the two Autobots exited out of the barracks, heading out to the practice field.
What a stroke of luck. I made a new friend...
"That's where I met Wasp. At first, we got along pretty well. And after a while, the two of us hung out some more and we got better accquainted. However... all of that changed. With the help of one of the bots at the camp, Volks, I found out Wasp was... was..." Bumblebee stammered. He couldn't even bring himself to say it.
"A Decepticon spy?" Fluttershy asked.
Bumblebee nodded somberly, "Someone I trusted, with my own life. A Decepticon spy. I... I couldn't even speak to him after I found out. Soon after Volks handed in the evidence, Wasp was dragged off to the Cybertronian stockade. I didn't want to face him after that, I couldn't face him after that. I couldn't handle the grief of knowing that. So... I handed in my registration, and I quit the boot camp. Eventually I found out that Optimus Prime was looking for some new bots to form a new team to search for some more energy sources. And that's how I ended up with them."
Fluttershy patted Bumblebee's shoulder, and leaned in close, trying to give him comfort. Bumblebee moved closer and Fluttershy allowed Bumblebee to give her a hug. He needed it.
"Its okay..." Fluttershy cooed.
Sunset and the girls watched from far away as Fluttershy comforted Bumblebee. On one hand they were relieved that Fluttershy was there that she was staying and providing comfort to her friend, but on another hand Bumblebee was completely stressed out of his mind. He had never looked this traumatized before, and the Autobots never saw that state from him. He looked like he desperately needed a hug.
"Poor darling..." Rarity said.
"We got to do something to get his mind off of Wasp," Applejack said.
"I believe there is mates," an Australian voice said.
Their heads turned to see Outback, one of Pipe's crew members, and Beachcomber, one of the soldiers that volunteered to join Optimus's crew aboard the Ark.
"What Bumblebee needs is time away from the battlefield, and a little trip down to someplace relaxing," Beachcomber said.
"In other words, we're probably gonna extend that nature trip we're taking him on. He needs it," Outback said.
"But what about Wasp? He's still running around along with several other Decepticon criminals," Ironhide boomed.
"You have every right to be worried Ironhide. But Outback has a point. I think Bumblebee needs some time away from the battlefield. Beachcomber, Outback, you said you were planning on going with them to the Everfree forest?"
"Along with Sunny Flare and Lemon Zest," Outback replied.
"Then I suggest you two keep Bumblebee safe, in case Wasp ever shows up there," Optimus said.
The two mini-bots gave salutes, "Sir yes sir!"
"And hey, if they're going, maybe I should too. In case they're far away, and they need someone with a stronger radio system," Blaster said off the side.
Optimus nodded, "Very well Blaster. Then if you three are going with them, I want you to keep an eye out in case Wasp shows up, and try to keep Bumblebee safe. From what he's described about Wasp's power, he might possess capabilities that we haven't seen yet."
"Alright, so what are we waiting for? We've got a weekend of nature and sunshine awaiting us!" Blaster cheered.
The day changed to night as time went on, and the night sky was completely cloudless. It glittered and gleamed with the lights of faraway stars. And in the night sky, a full moon was cast, illuminating above.
In the Everfree forest, just outside of the camp grounds, it was completely quiet. Only the sounds of crickets and the night owls could be heard in the big and peaceful forest.
But the peace and quiet quickly faded away when the sound of a roaring vehicle came to the parking spaces that had been marked for those coming to the Everfree forest. But this wasn't like any standard Earth vehicle. This vehicle that pulled itself into the area was a futuristic looking car. A Cybertronian car.
It transformed, revealing a green Cybertronian with a scratched out mark on his chest, along with a set of pink eyes. The robot surveyed the area around him, checking to see if anyone was around him. All clear. Perfect. He soon began descending into the dark forest by himself, still making sure no one was following him.
But what he didn't realize was that the same green car that Bumblebee was chasing earlier in the day pulled up into the parking lot as well. But it didn't transform. It just stood there, silently. Not moving a muscle or tire. It just... watched, all the while its engine kept running as it sat there, but its lights were turned off to avoid being seen.
Wasp looked around at the nature around him, all peaceful and quiet. A perfect place to hang out for the meantime. But it wouldn't make a home for long, he had plans for while he was on Earth.
"File..." Wasp muttered as he opened up a compartment on his back, and pulled out a small data chip that cold easily be held in between his thumb and finger.
"Yes! Wasp still have it..." Wasp said.
But a sound of a twig snapping made him stop, and he bolted around looking behind to see if someone followed him. There wasn't. So Wasp just shrugged and continued to walk.
Wasp continued to walk around in the forest, still walking in his Cybertronian form, looking at the nature sights around him. It was pretty relaxing, and it was very calm.
Little did he know that someone out in the forest had been watching him. Someone had been watching in descend and talk to himself, trying to move his way through the forest. And whoever the figure was, it kept on moving fast and quick in the forest, trying to avoid being seen.
Wasp past some more trees, but froze when he heard a whoosh sound go on by right past him. He looked around, and moved a few steps back.
"Who's there? Wasp not afraid of anyone!" Wasp yelled.
His hand transformed into a weapon, a half of what appeared to be a drill, but it was actually a zapping weapon. It began to surge with electricity, and he held it in front of him, keeping himself ready to zap anyone or anything that obviously stood as a threat.
Wasp moved forward at a steady pace, still keeping the weapon extended out and held in front of him ready to zap anyone that stood in his way. He didn't want to take any chances.
As he kept looking around and listening for a sound, a very strange sound hit his audio censors. Another whoosh sound filled the air, and the sound of... hissing? It sounded like something was hissing at him, but he wasn't sure what. What would be around here to do that?
Wasp made another turn around to try and locate the source, but nothing was seen.
"Wasp cannot be alone. Wasp know he not alone, how can-AGH!!!!!" Wasp screamed.
A big electric zap hit him from behind, and he fell to the ground on his chest, with his face planting right into the dirt. And hovering above his fallen body cast a dark and strange shadow, which possessed a strange shape. The only distinct feature that was ever seen, were a pair of glaring red eyes that illuminated in the darkness and chuckled to himself.
"I can't allow you to win this easily Wasp. And now, the one you called your friend before shall perish..."
The Transformers will return after these messages...
Author's Note
Okay so things are kicking up now. Hopefully things will become a little more interesting.
But part of me is also unsure of how long this fic will be, but it probably won't be at the length of the first episode: Gallows of CHS.
As always, please leave comments! I love to read your comments!
Equestria Girls In Disguise: Ghosts Of Our Past
We now return to the Transformers...
The next morning back in the small town of Canterlot was a much more bright and sunny day. The sun shined over the town, casting a few shadows.
And outside of one house were two vehicles. One was a 1945 blue dune buggy, and the other car was a Series III land rover. And from those cars, there was a girl who chose to ride in each one. Both of them approached the front door of the house they were parked at, and rang the doorbell. Both of them eagerly stood, waiting for a response.
Soon enough the door was answered by Fluttershy, wearing green shorts and a white tank top.
"Morning Sunny, morning Lemon," Fluttershy said with a friendly smile.
Both Shadowbolt girls gave friendly smiles back. Lemon Zest was now wearing a pink tank top with a graphic of lemon slices on it, yellow short shorts, and sneakers. And as another note, her hair was now styled a little differently than before. A bunch of her hair was now puffed onto one side all spiked up. Sunny Flare now wore purple shorts, and a pink T-shirt with a graphic of a partly cloudy graphic on it. And she wore black boots.
"Good morning dearie, are you about ready to go?" Sunny asked.
Fluttershy nodded, "Let me just get a few more things and Bumblebee and I will pull out with you two."
Lemon grinned, "Sweet dude. Then lets go!"
Lemon raced back into Beachcomber and buckled herself into the driver seat. And on the seat next to her, there was Blaster who was in his radio cassette player form, buckled up.
Sunny Flare then walked over to Outback who was still in vehicular mode. Outback opened up the door for her, and she sat down and buckled up in the driver seat.
The two cars waited, and then they saw Bumblebee and Fluttershy walk out the front door and walk to a parking space. Bumblebee then converted into vehicle mode, and allowed Fluttershy to step in and buckle her seatbelt.
Beachcomber and Outback started their engines and they began to pull out of the driveway and onto the road. Both of their engines roared and soon they left the house that Fluttershy lived in.
Beachcomber used his rearview mirror to look behind and quickly came to a halt, along with Outback. Both of the cars reversed back to Fluttershy's to see Bumblebee was just... sitting there. No engine was heard, no revving, nothing. He just sat there parked.
"Uh, Bumblebee? Are you coming?" Beachcomber asked.
Silence was all that was given to the cars. This wasn't good.
"Bumblebee, are you alright?" Fluttershy asked.
Bumblebee sighed, "Fluttershy, are you sure this will be okay? For all I know Wasp could still be out there," Bumblebee said with worry.
"Bumblebee, its okay. Optimus said you needed time off from the war, and you're taking today off," Fluttershy said, her warm hand touching the steering wheel.
"But what if he does find us? If Wasp did anything to you or any of you guys I... I don't know what I'd do. I can't lose any of you..." Bumblebee said.
The other two Autobots that were parked felt bad for Bumblebee. They knew how stressed he was about the Decepticon arriving on Earth, but he had to go with them. He had to clear his head, he had to get out of the war for a bit.
"Bee, its okay. We're all here to give you protection. Think of the three of us as your personal bodyguards," Blaster said.
"Blaster's right. I think you should take advantage of today, you're getting some time off from the battlefield to relax and enjoy the scenic view of nature around us," Beachcomber replied.
Bumblebee said nothing. He wanted to argue with them, but they all had raised valid points. So there was no point in trying to argue back. Maybe it would be good to take some time off from the battlefield. And besides, it was a bright and sunny day, and he would be hanging out with Fluttershy. This would be a good weekend.
"You're right. I suppose a weekend out in the woods wouldn't hurt, and besides I've got you guys all with me. But one more thing before we go," Bumblebee said.
"You're not running back inside that house," Outback said.
"... I was going to say did anyone remember the Energon drinks," Bumblebee retorted.
Outback paused, "I did."
"Then lets go!" Bumblebee said with a little excitement in his voice.
Bumblebee's stick shift changed gears, and he began to pull out of the space and onto the road. Soon enough Beachcomber and Outback followed right behind, and the three cars began to drive on their merry way to the Everfree forest.
All throughout the morning, the three Autobots drove on the road, not planning on stopping until they made it over to the Everfree forest for their weekend of relaxation. And luckily for them, there was barely any traffic out on the road, so it meant they were going to arrive on time soon enough.
The three cars drove on by past Applejack's farm, where they made a wave towards her and Ironhide gathering apples. The Autobots just stood for a moment, and said their hellos and goodbyes, and drove back off again.
As time went on, they were leaving the big city behind, and were making their way to their destination.
Inside of Beachcomber's GPS map, displayed an overhead view of a map that showed Autobot icons on the screen that were growing closer to their destination.
"Autobots, we're getting closer to our destination spot. Just a few miles ahead," Beachcomber said.
Lemon grinned as she saw they were getting closer. Just a few miles and then she could finally get out and stretch her legs.
The three Autobots pulled up to the small little parking area which was mostly made of small stones and a few lines that were marked in white paint and logs to gesture to spots to pull up into.
The three Autobots parked, and they waited for the girls to leave their vehicle forms before they transform. That'd easily take them by surprise, or worse, that'd crush them inside of their bodies. Once the girls were out of the seats of the Autobots and had collected their things, the Autobots transformed into their vehicle forms.
"Ah... finally I can move my feet. I think they just locked up in the car ride," Lemon said, stretching her arms and legs.
Outback was seen doing some stretching as well, "I can agree with you Lemon. I'm just glad I can get some of this junk out of me, I feel bloated."
"Outback, you're still the same Autobot I know, you look perfect," Sunny said with a smile.
Outback blushed slightly, "You think so?"
Sunny nodded.
"Thanks Sunny. Well then, lets not dilly or dally, shall we find ourselves a camping spot?"
"Race you there!" Lemon said as she began a running start down into the forest.
"No way, two can play!" Blaster grinned as he raced after Lemon.
Bumblebee just chuckled, "Come on, we better stop them before they disturb any of the wildlife."
Bumblebee lead the group down as he began a walk into the paved dirt into the forest. Fluttershy caught up with Bumblebee and walked by his side, while Outback and Sunny Flare walked right behind, and Beachcomber followed behind them.
As they began to walk, Bumblebee and Fluttershy looked around them to see the sights that were near. It was absolutely breathtaking. There was the sound of crickets and birds chirping, the sun was shining bright in the sky, and around them they could see all kinds of flowers blooming. There were insects seen on some of the plants, and every once in a while there would be an animal that would cross their path.
"Isn't it beautiful?" Fluttershy said.
Bumblebee gave a warm smile, "It is. This place is amazing. I kind of wish I knew a place like this existed, I would have come here more often. Definitely a place to go to clear my head."
Bumblebee's smile brought warmth to Fluttershy's heart. It was nice to see Bumblebee was actually enjoying himself, and he didn't look at stressed as he was before.
The group had to cut through some more trees and bushes along the way, and eventually found the camping grounds, and Blaster and Lemon had already claimed a spot for them. But they weren't focusing on them. Their eyes were gazing around the camping grounds. There was a giant lake made for sailing on, along with a small dock, with a few boats hooked to it. There were some cabins for them to sleep in, plenty of picnic tables, and a few hiking paths made right through parts of the woods.
The group couldn't believe their eyes, it was just breathtaking. The sights, the sounds, the calmness, it was just perfect. The Autobots had been in the war for so long that what they were seeing was so new to them.
"Oh my, its paradise..." Beachcomber smiled as he took a few steps to look around him. Everything around him was pure heaven for him. A weekend without war or fighting was something he always dreamed about, and he desperately wanted it, and now it was all right in front of him.
"Enjoying the view Beachcomber?" Bumblebee asked.
Beachcomber nodded, "This is pure heaven. Its my kind of place..."
Fluttershy giggled, "I didn't know you liked nature."
Beachcomber turned around to look at Fluttershy and Bumblebee, still keeping his smile.
"War isn't really my thing, I'm a pacifist. All my life I've wanted to get away from war and destruction, and now its all right in front of me..." Beachcomber said, spreading his arms out.
"I didn't know you hated fighting," Sunny Flare said with curiosity.
Beachcomber nodded, "I absolutely cannot stand the war. Part of the time I was in it, I just wanted to leave and never return back to Cybertron."
"But how come you didn't?" Fluttershy asked.
Beachcomber sighed, "As much as I don't want to fight, the Autobots are all I've got to a family, and I couldn't just leave them to become hurt by any more of the Decepticons violence and destruction."
The others looked around with some concern on their faces. They all knew how Beachcomber felt about war and destruction, and quite frankly they all shared the same thoughts on it as well. But this was their time away from war, and they could take it.
Beachcomber looked to see Fluttershy patting his shoulder. Since he was a mini-bot, he was roughly around the size of the humans, making the ability to face to face with them possible.
"Its okay. We're far from the war, and we've got plenty of time out here," Fluttershy said.
"Now how about we set up in a cabin and then we can find ourselves a picnic table?" Bumblebee offered.
Beachcomber nodded, and followed the group to go find the people running the camp grounds so they could find a spot for them to rent out.
But little did they know that they were watched by a pair of eyes that were gazing from a bush that stared at them menacingly. Its red glow stared deep into their sparks and hissed.
"Autobots..."
The figure's vision turned into a grid like pattern vision as he looked at them, and soon a few scans began running up and down on each of the four Autobots. And with each one scanned, a full 360 display of their bodies were shown into his vision as he identified each one of them.
"Don't bother trying to find Wasp... if you do, then you will all perish..."
The Transformers will return after these messages...

A Day At The Everfree
We now return to the Transformers...
The group was enjoying their stay at the Everfree. It was one of the most relaxing times they've had in years. Everything was just so peaceful and relaxing to them, they couldn't help but enjoy themselves. The views, the calmness, the sounds of the forest and the water splashing in the lake, it was all too good.
They began their relaxing by going out onto a few sailboats, and sailing out onto the lake. The girls all had their life vests on and strapped tightly, while the Autobots could easily sit on the boats without them. They didn't need them since they could swim easily out in the water.
"Where's big Beach?" Lemon asked.
"He's uh... swimming," Sunny giggled.
Lemon gazed over the boat, and sure enough she saw the sun shining on a blue and white Autobot swimming in the water, passing by some fish that were swimming in it. Beachcomber gazed back up at Lemon watching him for a second, and continued on swimming. Lemon just giggled, watching the small Autobot swim underneath them.
Right behind their boats, Bumblebee and Fluttershy sat rowing a boat on their own without a sail.
"How did you learn to row one of these things?" Bumblebee asked, swaying his arms in a rowing motion using the oars.
"I went out to this spot a lot during the summertime," Fluttershy said, rowing in a perfect sync with Bumblebee.
Bumblebee kept on rowing, but stopped when he saw Beachcomber stick his head up from out of the water. Bumblebee just laughed.
"Having a nice swim?" Bumblebee asked.
"Absolutely. You should try it Bee," Beachcomber said.
"Uh, no thanks, I don't really swim."
A devious grin came over Beachcomber's face, and Bumblebee's eyes widened.
"Oh no..."
Beachcomber grabbed ahold of Bumblebee and pulled him into the water, off the boat. But because of how strong his grip was, it flipped the boat upside down throwing Fluttershy into the water as well, making a big splash.
The others looked back to see some of their friends poking their heads out of the water.
"Dah!" Bumblebee gasped, coughing from the water. "Fluttershy! You okay?"
Fluttershy nodded and gave a thumbs up, making Bumblebee sigh in relief. In a fit of anger, Bumblebee splashed water in Beach's face.
"Don't do that, she could have drowned! Or worse, you could have killed her!" Bumblebee said with anger.
"Uh, Bumblebee, I actually can swim..." Fluttershy said.
Bumblebee looked back at Fluttershy, "You can?"
Fluttershy nodded, making Bumblebee sigh in relief again. He wasn't thrilled to be tossed into the water, but he was glad to hear that Fluttershy was able to survive being out in the water.
Off to the side, Bumblebee could see Lemon and Blaster chuckling a bit, making Bumblebee snarl.
"You find something funny?" Bumblebee huffed.
Lemon snickered, "Yep."
Bumblebee and Beachcomber looked at each other for a moment, and both of them shared devious grins. They knew just what they were gonna do to them...
The two of them moved themselves closer to the sailboat the others were on, still carrying devious grins. Bumblebee threw his arm into the boat, grabbing onto Blaster's hand, and Bumblebee dragged Blaster off the boat into the water.
"Whoa, ah!" Blaster screeched.
Lemon chuckled, "Hang on, I'm joining you!"
Lemon just stood on the edge of the boat and dived in with them. She had always enjoyed the water, and she took advantage of this time to jump and swim with them. She began swimming with them, rising her hair up out of the water, all flat and limp from the water splashed into it.
Outback just chuckled to see them getting thrown into the water.
"Oh you think its funny, lets get you in as well!" Blaster said.
Outback's visor widened as he was taken by surprise. Blaster grabbed him by the arm, and Outback was thrown off the boat, and was tossed into the water as well, making a big splash.
"Is this really necessary?" Sunny flinched from the water splashing onto the boat.
"Aw, come on Sunny! Lighten up!" Lemon said, splashing water onto her.
Sunny froze when the water hit her, and her eyes winced to a glare, making Fluttershy and Bumblebee's lips droop.
"Uh oh..." Bumblebee and Fluttershy said in unison.
"It. Is. On." Sunny snarled.
She immediately jumped off the boat and tackled Lemon Zest in the water, splashing some more onto the others.
Two hours went by until everyone stopped having a splash fight. They had just about enough of being drenched and cold in the water. So once they calmed down they pulled themselves back onto the boats, and rowed back to the dock so they could get themselves dried off and so the girls could get some fresh clothes that weren't cold and wet.
Eventually everyone got off the docks, and walked back to their cabin, still dripping with water, leaving a trail of it right behind them.
Later Bumblebee and the group began walking together into the woods following a hiking trail. And now the girls were all dry and warm instead of cold and wet.
Their feet slapped against the ground as they walked around and basked in the nature of the forest, taking in its calm peace and beauty. And not only did their feet slap among the ground, but several leaves also crunched when they stepped on them.
"Look at all of this. It looks like that jungle Strongarm and I wandered through when we were trying to find Springload. Only this is much more relaxing," Bumblebee said.
"Oh and that reminds me, how are the new cadets doing? Strongarm and Tracks I mean?"
The others all gave mixed responses. But one response that definitely clear was that they weren't entirely sure what to think. Training them to adapt on Earth was very difficult.
"It... could be better," Outback said.
"The problem is they can't trust each other since they're always fighting," Blaster said.
"Both of them have been doing that nonstop ever since we've met them officially," Beachcomber said, "Its beginning to look tiresome."
"I mean seriously, its starting to become old I've literally left the base a bunch of times just to avoid them," Outback said.
"Now hold on Outback," Sunny raised a hand, "You and Pipe's crew, along with my Bumblebee's brother Goldbug and Arcee are all new here on this planet. How come none of you have been fighting?"
"Well we get along with each other well. Besides, we've all been more interested in learning about this world. Pipes is an Earth enthusiast now," Outback replied.
As they kept on talking, Bumblebee and Fluttershy got caught up in their own conversation.
"You're looking much better than you were yesterday. Are you okay?" Fluttershy asked.
Bumblebee smiled, "I am. This is one of the most fun times I've had in a long time. You're right. Its good to just relax and hang out with friends and every now and then. And this weekend was definitely worth it."
Fluttershy gave a smile back. She was glad Bumblebee was finally calming down from all of the stress he had endured from seeing Wasp.
The group came to a halt when they looked ahead. There they saw a little fawn standing in place, looking at them.
"Don't. Move. A. Muscle," Bumblebee said.
The deer stood, looking at them. It moved a little closer, hooves slapping against the ground, looking right at them. It made no sounds, or noise whatsoever. The deer just looked, and then ran off into the woods, leaping about.
"Fascinating..." Sunny said.
Sunny's attention was turned to hear Lemon giggling.
"What's so funny?" Sunny asked.
Lemon gestured to Bumblebee in front of them. Sunny turned around and she let out a few giggles herself. Bumblebee right in front of them had his arms out and several birds came flying in and were sitting on his arms. Fluttershy even let out a few giggles herself.
"Someone's got some new friends," Sunny said, jokingly.
Bumblebee even let out a few laughs himself.
"Well Beachcomber's got a new friend too," Bumblebee said.
Everyone glanced back at Beachcomber who was staring at a bird that landed on his shoulder.
"Hm... lets see if I can learn your language..." Beachcomber said, scratching his chin.
The bird just sat there, and it made a few chirps and calls, still standing and staring right at Beachcomber's white visor eyes.
"Hm... now how do I say, 'its a beautiful day?'" Beachcomber pondered.
Fluttershy and the other girls let out some giggles, it was pretty funny watching an Autobot their size talking to a bird. This gave Bumblebee a bit of an idea.
"You know Beachcomber, I think you'd do great at the animal shelter Fluttershy works at. I help volunteer to take care of the animals there," Bumblebee said.
Beachcomber's visor widened, and he slowly turned to face them.
"There is? I didn't even know something like that was there," Beachcomber said.
"There is," Bumblebee nodded.
Beachcomber looked back towards the woods, questioning why he didn't think of that before. While he didn't really show what he was thinking, he spewed out one single word.
"Fascinating..."
The group just let out another laugh, and they continued on walking through the forest. All the while Beachcomber kept attracting more animals near his bright blue and white body.
At the end of the day, everyone had gathered back at the cabin to eat their dinner. They were all exhausted and tired from a long day, but now it was time for them to sit down and eat. Well, all except for two of them came to eat...
"Are Fluttershy and Bumblebee ever gonna stop staring off into the sunset?" Lemon asked as she looked out the window.
"Oh give them their time, they two need it," Beachcomber said, working on the stove in their kitchen. Beachcomber flipped another patty, and then continued to press it with the cooking utensil.
"Is it done yet?" Lemon whined.
"Almost..." Beachcomber said, before making one last flip, "Okay its done."
Beachcomber walked over to the table, holding a paper plate that had all of the patty's on it. Once he set it down, the two girls grabbed what they wanted off the plate and put it on their own. The other Autobots sat at the table too, and on plates they pulled out were some mini Energon cubes they cut up.
"So please, catch me up. How's school at Crystal Prep now that Principal Cinch is no longer running it?" Beachcomber asked.
"Actually, its become better now that she's no longer running it. Dean Cadence is running the school, and she made changes on all of the rules to make us live our lives better," Sunny said.
"How so?" Beachcomber raised a brow, as he took a bite of some of the Energon.
"For one, we don't need to wear those uniforms anymore and we can wear what we want now," Sunny began, "I haven't seen Lemon that happy in a long time."
Lemon grinned and winked.
"And Dean Cadence cut down out all of the restrictions and tight rules, so now we feel more at home at the school than ever before," Sunny replied.
Blaster and Outback gave confirming nods and big grins.
"And everyone's more friendly with each other now! I've been able to talk to girls now, and none of them pushed me away knowing about my... uh... you know," Lemon blushed.
Blaster nodded.
"I fail to understand," Beachcomber said.
"We'll explain later," Outback said, raising a hand. "But I should say this. Now that they've changed the rules, they allowed us to roam around the school as Autobot guardians, especially since we're now guardians of those five girls."
Lemon chuckled a bit, "You should have seen the look on Neon's face when Blaster revealed himself right in the music room."
"How did that happen?" Outback said.
"Let me explain. So I was practicing my guitar..."
Meanwhile outside of the cabin, Bumblebee and Fluttershy were sitting together on the edge of the dock, staring off into the sunset. The sun was getting closer to going off into another part of the sky, making it darker and the sky colored in orange.
Both of them stayed in silence, while their feet kept on swaying back and forth, while their arms were arched behind, holding them up as they stared off into the lake and the orange sun.
Bumblebee was lost in his own thoughts. He had never been so relaxed, so calm, so with himself ever since he met Fluttershy. Ever since he had been with her, and spent his time with her, his stress with the war and living on Earth was slowly fading away. All because she was there right by his side. His best friend, right there with him.
Fluttershy could tell Bumblebee was at peace with himself, seeing the calming smile on his face. She never seen any Autobot so calm like this before, it made her heart melt inside.
But as Fluttershy gaze back out ahead, her attention was pulled back to Bumblebee to hear him speak.
"Fluttershy?"
"Yes Bumblebee?" Fluttershy asked.
Bumblebee gave a warm smile, and it almost looked like happy tears formed in his eyes.
"Thank you. Because of you, I haven't had this much fun in a long time. And because of you, I'm not worried about Wasp. I'm only focused on you, and all of this around us."
Fluttershy blushed, "Really?
Bumblebee nodded.
"Bumblebee I... I don't know what to say," Fluttershy said.
Bumblebee pulled Fluttershy in for a hug, and patted her back. Fluttershy just patted his in return. There was no stress, no signs of horror or trauma to be seen. He was finally at peace. And the only sounds Fluttershy could hear, were the sounds of the water splashing, and the single whisper from Bumblebee.
"Thank you..."
The two hugged for the longest time, and their friends watched. Their friend finally relieved of his stress, and he earned it.
The night was entirely peaceful, and everyone was already asleep. And the only sound to be heard was the night creatures out and about. There was owls hooting as they sat on the trees, and lots of tiny green crickets chirping on the plants. The full moon illuminated the land around, and the stars glittered the night sky.
But little would anyone know, that the night wouldn't be peaceful at all...
Over in the cabin where the group was staying in, the girls were all safely tucked away in their beds, and even the Autobots found some resting spots as well. As for Blaster, he just fell asleep in his radio cassette player form and just sat on one of the tables in the cabin. The entire cabin was silent.
Until the sound of disturbing hissing was heard outside. Now the sound didn't awaken any of the people living inside of the cabin, but someone was awaken. Blaster's cassette player opened up, and a golden cassette tape ejected out and transformed into a golden Autobot lion.
Steeljaw tip-toed his way around the cabin, trying to move himself to the front door without waking up anyone inside. He stood on his hind legs, as he pulled himself up and used one of his front paws to unlock the door and turn the handle. Once it was unlocked, he slowly pulled it open which made an ungodly creaking noise.
Steeljaw froze and slowly turned his head to see if anyone was awakened by the loud creek of the wooden door. No one was alarmed, good. He didn't want anyone awakened. So the golden titanium lion slowly walked out of the cabin and closed the door shut with the smallest amount of noise he could make. It was difficult to not make noise since he was just a mechanical lion.
Once he was out, he began walking out in the woods, blue eyes glowing in the darkness of the night. He walked along the dirt, and began sniffing around the area, seeing for anything suspicious or strange that he had heard. What could be out at this time of the night?
Steeljaw's ears twitched and tilted up to hear a peculiar hissing noise coming from farther in the woods. It didn't sound particularly good. Should he go alone? Should he wake the others up? On one hand, it would be a good thing to have the others by his side, but on another hand, they needed time to calm down from the fighting. Maybe he'd investigate, and then tell them in the morning. No big deal. Just do a quick sweep, and then go back to the cabin where he'd be safe.
Steeljaw let out a small little snarl, and then began a running leap into the forest not looking behind. As his feet slapped against the dirt and the leaves making tons of crunching noises, he kept swaying his head side to side, looking for the source of the disturbance. On his back, his guns loaded up with energy pellets, and made a whirring noise as they were charged up and ready for action.
Little did he know that he was being watched by a pair of eyes lurking in the forest...
Steeljaw's head looked down to see if there were any tracks to follow, or anything he could find. Sure enough, something was seen on the ground. He found a bizarre trail of footprints. But they weren't any footprints that he had seen before. These were small little circle indentations on the ground. Something wasn't right here. No creature they knew made these very small footprints. Especially those of Earth animals. But what?
Steeljaw sniffed some more and continued to follow the scent. However he frozen when he heard more snarling and hissing from the trees. Something had been watching him...
Steeljaw growled when he heard the hissing at him. Who was it? And whoever it was, didn't sound friendly.
The figure watched from the trees, and its slender black hand pushed some branches out of the way as it spied on Steeljaw, eyes glowing in the darkness.
"Its time to die..."
Steeljaw growled some more and turned around to gaze into the location the source was coming from and snarled some more. He readied his weapons to fire, but at that moment, the figure charged at him and all lights went out on his circuitry. And no one heard him whine or scream when he was attacked.
No even saw a strange being dragging his knocked out body across the soft dirt, going further and further into the forest...
The Transformers will return after these messages...
Equestria Girls In Disguise: Ghosts Of Our Past
We now return to the Transformers...
The next morning gave birth to a fresh bright and sunny day with the sun shining right in the sky. It looked like it was going to be another bright day. The light glimmered the water in the lake, and cast shadows in the woods.
In the cabin, everyone was slowly waking up to the morning sun shining right in their window.
Bumblebee yawned, "Morning everybody."
"Morning Bumblebee," Fluttershy cooed.
Bumblebee looked at Fluttershy with a smile, "Morning Fluttershy."
Bumblebee got up on his feet, standing in front of Fluttershy. He wrapped his arms around her, giving her a big hug, and Fluttershy reciprocated.
"How are you?" Bumblebee asked.
"I'm fine, you?"
"I still feel amazing, thanks to you," Bumblebee said in a sweet voice.
Fluttershy blushed.
"I'm gonna step outside for a moment, give a report to Optimus real quick, then I'll be back in," Bumblebee said to the others waking up. He walked towards the front door, and stepped out closing behind.
As the others got up, Blaster reverted back into robot mode. He was about to start moving but he froze for a moment, and his eyes were darting back and forth. Something was off.
"Uh guys? Something's wrong..." Blaster said.
The others looked back at Blaster with deranged looks. It looked like Blaster was guilty of doing something wrong.
"What do you mean?" Lemon asked.
"I'm not sure..." Blaster wiped his hand on his chest, feeling it. Something wasn't right. "This just doesn't feel right..."
Sunny and Outback looked at Blaster with unamused looks.
"I'm sure it isn't because it probably doesn't look right Blaster," Outback said.
"No, part of me feels a little... empty. Hang on a nano-click," Blaster said raising a finger.
He pressed a button near the side of his face, just above his chest compartment, and the golden compartment cover opened up. And out flew three of his cassettes; Eject, Rewind, and Ramhorn. But no Steeljaw.
Everyone's eyes widened a bit when they looked. Where was Steeljaw?
"Blaster, didn't you have four cassettes?" Sunny asked.
Blaster looked around, "Yeah... I don't recall leaving any of them behind."
The cassette warriors paused and looked at each other, shrugging. They were just as confused as the rest.
"You don't think he might have gone out and wandered around for a bit, do you?" Fluttershy asked.
"Or worse, what if was...kidnapped? Oh my gosh, what if Wasp really is here? What if--" Sunny began before Outback interrupted.
"Sunny. I'm positive it isn't Wasp. Maybe he got lost somewhere in the night, or maybe something spooked him. Either way we have to find him fast. But if Wasp is around--"
"Hold on. I don't want Bumblebee scared again. We can't tell him what we're doing. We have to find Steeljaw and fast. Maybe we can find him using his tracking mechanism?" Fluttershy asked.
Blaster nodded, "I'll go see if I can pinpoint his location. In the meantime, we better go find him before Bumblebee freaks out again. Its bad enough he's stressing over Wasp, we don't need to add missing teammates on that list of things he's stressing over."
"Okay. Lets go," Fluttershy finished.
The group exited out of the cabin all dressed and ready, and looked at one another.
"Shouldn't we split into groups?" Sunny asked.
"Good point. Ramhorn, go with Fluttershy. Outback and Sunny, you're a team. Lemon Zest and I are one, Eject and Rewind are a team too. Beachcomber, any chance you can distract Bumblebee for a bit? Get him to follow you for a while?"
Beachcomber grinned.
"Okay, lets go!" Blaster cheered.
With Blaster's cheer sounded off, everyone split up into their groups to for their search and rescue. All the while Beachcomber stood by himself just pondering what he was gonna do.
His attention dropped back to see Bumblebee returning from a part of the woods, having just made his call.
"Okay Beach, just called Optimus, just let him know everything here's fine, we should be back to Canterlot at somepoint around 3:00. So, where'd everyone go?" Bumblebee asked.
Beachcomber looked around for a moment, and just shrugged.
"Okay then..." Bumblebee said.
"Oh before I forget, I wanted to show you something I saw by the side of the dock," Beachcomber said.
"Did you drop something in it?" Bumblebee huffed.
"No, no, come on I'll show you."
Bumblebee followed Beachcomber onto the wooden docks, metallic feet stomping against the hard wood. Beachcomber gestured to over the water, and Bumblebee leaned over to take a look.
"I don't see anything," Bumblebee said.
"Well you can't obviously, that's why you got to jump in!" Beachcomber cried.
Bumblebee's mouth just frowned, and his eyes lowered giving an unamused expression on his face.
"Not again..."
But it was too late and Bumblebee was grabbed and tossed into the water by a laughing Beachcomber. Bumblebee poked his head out of the water, spitting out water like a fountain.
"Next time we go somewhere on vacation, lets just bridge to Hawaii. I hear its nice this time of the year..." Bumblebee snarled.
With Sunny and Outback, the two of them kept their guards up as they walked together, trying not to lose focus of anything around them.
"Steeljaw?" Sunny called out.
"Steeljaw! Where are you?" Outback yelled. "You can't just go running out by yourself in these woods! I've seen the human horror films! Those who are in these scenarios never make it out alive!"
Sunny just stared at Outback looking unamused, "Do you really think that's helpful right now?"
Outback just let out a nervous chuckle, "Sorry."
"Lets just keep our focus on finding Steeljaw, and getting back to the cabin."
With that said, Sunny and Outback kept on walking, and kept their heads focused on the mission at hand.
As for Fluttershy and Ramhorn, the two of them didn't realize it, but they were walking on the same path that Steeljaw had walked on the night before. And Ramhorn was quickly picking up on the trail as he sniffed the ground, sniffing for Steeljaw's scent. Fluttershy's eyes darted back and forth as she was looking around in the trees, trying to see if maybe somebody was hiding in them. But all she got was trees, trees, and more trees.
The two listened for sounds, anything that would be out of the ordinary. But there was nothing out of the ordinary for them to hear. But there was nothing. The only sounds that their ears could process were the sounds of the nature around them, and the movement of their own feet.
However their walking turned into a complete stop. Ramhorn titled his head forward, gesturing Fluttershy to look. She looked ahead and crouched down to see. There were tiny lion footprints hollowed out into the dirt. It looked very recent.
"Steeljaw was here," Fluttershy murmured.
Ramhorn let out a grunt, and stomped his foot into the ground as he looked forward, there was something else he was looking at that wasn't real good. Up in front of them were tiny footprints, but these were smaller than Steeljaw's. To them, it looked like multiple sticks were jabbed into the ground and kept on moving. And there looked like the small holes were trailing off into the forest, and it was dragging something big that dug a trail into the dirt right behind it.
Fluttershy gulped, "I think whoever took Steeljaw went that way. You think we should keep going?"
Ramhorn let out a small noise, signalling yes.
"Okay, lets go."
Fluttershy and Ramhorn walked off into the woods, continuing to follow the path of the strange marks that the dirt was going into. Where did they go? Who could possibly out here making those tracks into the dirt? And why did this being take Steeljaw?
After cutting through more of the woods, the two stopped in front of a large cave where the tracks had ended. It looked like they found their destination.
"So Steeljaw's in there... Here we go," Fluttershy shivered.
Ramhorn huffed, getting Fluttershy's attention. Fluttershy looked, and Ramhorn extended out the arsenal of weaponry that he had supplied over his hind legs. Ramhorn made a stomp into the ground, and a few more noises, making Fluttershy giggle a bit.
"At least I've got you Ramhorn. Come on, we better find him fast," Fluttershy said.
Ramhorn didn't move, but instead just let out another noise.
"Call the others first?" Fluttershy asked.
Ramhorn bobbed his head up and down.
"Okay," Fluttershy said, pulling out her phone from her short jean pockets. She dialed in the number, and held it to her ear, while Ramhorn kept circling around her, trying to keep her safe and look out for any prowlers.
"Dude! What's up? " Lemon asked.
"Lemon, I need you tell the others this. We've just followed a set of tracks leading inside of a cave, and we believe Steeljaw is inside. We'll go have a look, and we'll let you guys know when we're done," Fluttershy said.
"Got it dude, Lemon out. "
The phone hung up, and Fluttershy put it back in her pocket for her to carry. She looked around her belt for a flashlight, staring among the amount of tools that she had with her along with the tools that were in her saddlebag. A few glowsticks, some medical supplies, a few water bottles, and a mini Autobot pistol for her to use to defend herself. Luckily she had brought flashlights with her, and clutched it in her hand as she sealed her bag up again.
Once the light flickered on, she walked with Ramhorn and the two of them walked inside of the dark and damp cave, completely oblivious to the pair of red eyes staring at them from in the trees...
The two walked into the cave, with worrisome looks on their faces. They wanted to find Steeljaw and fast, and they had to find him fast. They didn't want to panic the others or worse, panic Steeljaw for very much longer.
The flashlight bounced around, casting its light all around the cave, capturing every solitary object in sight. But there weren't that many sights to be seen inside of the cave outside of rocks, more caverns, rocks, and more caverns. It was almost like there wasn't anything of value to be seen or taken from inside the cave.
Fluttershy and Ramhorn moved down another cavern, and Fluttershy cast her flashlight up on the ceiling. Just up above there were some glowing lights in the ceiling, all attached to part of the sharp rocks that were stabbing out of the ceiling.
"Interesting..." Fluttershy said.
Shrugging off the amazing sight, she kept on moving with the reddish-maroon colored rhinoceros.
The two looked towards the ground, but something they saw made them freeze in their tracks. There looked like a trail of blue liquid that had spilled on the ground. But with the way it looked, it looked like it had spilled a long time ago, and was permanently dry into the rocky terrain.
Fluttershy crouched down to get a closer look and nodded in agreement with Ramhorn, "Energon."
But as they got back up on their feet, they pointed their light to another cavern and gasped. Something they saw inside of the cave freaked them out. Inside there appeared to be a bunch of Cybertronians... all of them dead. They looked like they had died falling asleep, and their bodies were wrapped around giant blue chrysalis like eggs that were formed into the ground. While the sight alone was disturbing enough, along with the revolting smell, it looked like it occurred a long time ago and none of them looked recently dead. So there was some slight relief, but not a lot.
Ramhorn and Fluttershy winced back from the smell, both of them coughing from it. Ramhorn kept pecking at his face with his front hoof, trying to swat at his nose from how horrid the smell was.
"Lets just keep moving, hopefully the smell will be long gone," Fluttershy said.
The two of them kept on moving, and went down a right side of a cave wall, and came across two more caves were set up near the end of their path. But even there it looked like someone was recently here. In one cave, it was completely open, but the other was sealed off from a bunch of blue lasers set up, almost like a prison wall.
Ramhorn and Fluttershy, seeing no choice, walked into the cavern with no wall. There it was a dead end, but they could quickly see how it was being used. There were a ton of Cybertronian supply boxes set up in stacks, and a few of the cases were open. No Energon unfortunately.
Fluttershy moved her light towards some of the sources and found a few contents that did seem to reveal their purposes. But some items weren't that familiar with either.
"Ramhorn, can you see what this stuff is?" Fluttershy asked.
Ramhorn looked towards some of the stuff and moved closer, taking a gander at it. Ramhorn made one soft touch with his front hoof on a pair of stasis-cuffs and another strange metallic object that Fluttershy couldn't make out, and made some rhino noises.
"Stasis-cuffs and... what?"
Ramhorn made another noise.
"I didn't know Cybertronians even had those," Fluttershy said.
Ramhorn bobbed his head up and down.
"We better tell the others what we just saw," Fluttershy said.
Fluttershy pulled out her phone, and dialed in the number, this time calling someone else in mind. She didn't really want to be called 'dude' again.
"Outback and Sunny Flare here, what is it?" Outback called.
"Outback, Ramhorn and I have just come across some strange things in the cave. But we still don't see any sign of Steeljaw," Fluttershy said.
"Whatever it is, it still probably retains some importance. What is it?" Outback asked.
"Ramhorn and I are looking at several containers, and some of the contents that we're looking at are Cybertronian stasis-cuffs and mouth clamps. Do you know why someone would keep them supplied here?"
"Wait a minute. Those supplies belong to a Cybertronian police officer. All police officers back on Cybertron carried those to restrain whatever criminal were in custody of. I should know, they carried some of our Decepticons in with those. But wait, if those are there, then maybe someone stole supplies full of them and has been hiding out in that cave you're describing, " Outback replied.
"I'm not so sure Outback, we saw some Cybertronians in the cave but they were..." Fluttershy gulped, "Dead."
"Yikes. Well if that's the case then just finish up your sweep and meet us back in the woods. I don't think Bumblebee can take anymore tosses into water. And I swear Beachcomber's enjoying that way too much, " Outback said.
"Got it, over and out," Fluttershy said.
Fluttershy got back up on her feet and stood with Ramhorn. But as they turned around, they froze at what they saw. They were not alone, and whoever it was that stood behind them didn't look too good.
All they saw in the darkness were a pair of red glaring eyes staring down their souls. Fluttershy gulped.
"Uh.... hello..." Fluttershy said scared.
The figure didn't respond but instead a slender hand with long darkened fingers grabbed her by the chest making her yelp, and raised her up so she was looking right at the eyes. She breathed heavily as she stared at the eyes of the dark and mysterious figure, horrified at what she might be seeing.
The figure even leaned over and clutched Ramhorn by the middle of its chest. How it was able to carry a rhino that required probably two hands to carry she wouldn't understand.
It continued to stay silent, but Fluttershy could tell it was moving her and Ramhorn somewhere. The lasers that were set up on a side of a cave wall opened up, and the figure walked in still clutching them. Unexpectedly, it opened its hand, letting go of the two.
Fluttershy landed on her back, luckily on a soft terrain, while Ramhorn fell on his side. Both of them slowly backed away from the figure that was still staring down on them. What did this thing want?
"I'm not going down that easily. And your Autobot friends won't have anything to stand on once they see me..." The figure said chuckling.
The figure in the darkness, appeared to be backing away from them. But its eyes still stayed up in the same height it was. The laser gates fired up again, sealing off the entrance from him and the two smaller forms.
Once it sealed, the figure vanished off into the darkness, leaving them all on their own. Unsure of what to do, Fluttershy picked up her flashlight and shined it around the room they were in, trying to see if there was more than what was given to them. Shining it around, she saw a pair of blue eyes glowing in the darkness, staring at her.
Fluttershy moved the flashlight onto the figure exposing its entire body and gasped. There standing was Steeljaw. And he didn't look harmed or hurt in the slightest, he was all okay.
"Steeljaw!"
Steeljaw leaped over towards Fluttershy, and sat on its back legs to look at Fluttershy. She giggled hearing his panting.
"Are you okay?"
Steeljaw bobbed his head up and down.
"Did he lock you up in here?" Fluttershy asked.
Steeljaw nodded and let out a snarl. He was not happy to be locked up in that part of the cave, far away from his master and his own friends. But Steeljaw remembered something else he wanted to say, so he let out some more snarls.
"There's someone else in here with you?"
Steeljaw nodded, and tilted his head to the right side of the cave, just far off near the laser door. Fluttershy gazed into the darkness, and looked straight at a pair of pink scared eyes that were looking right back at her. Fluttershy moved her flashlight towards it and when she got a full glimpse of the figure she gasped.
There sitting by himself was a Cybertronian. A green one in fact, possessing a scratched out Autobot logo on his chest. And Fluttershy could see why there was a supply of tools near the other side of the cave, they were being used to hold this Cybertronian captive. There were chains wrapped around his legs, a pair of stasis cuffs around his arms keeping them secure, and a metallic clamp over his mouth keeping him silent.
Steeljaw let out another growl, and looked back at Fluttershy who continued to look shocked. She was given the name of this captive Cybertronian, and it wasn't someone she expected. All she let slip was one single word...
"Wasp..."
The Transformers will return after these messages...
Author's Note
Okay so apparently this still isn't going to be on hiatus. Clearly I can still work in energy to work on this. As always, I hope you all enjoy this, and the mystery that continues to follow.
As always, please leave comments! I love to read your comments!
Equestria Girls In Disguise: Ghosts Of Our Past
We 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!
Equestria Girls In Disguise: Ghosts Of Our Past
We now return to the Transformers...
Bumblebee didn't say a word when he stared head on towards Wasp. Why was he here? He shouldn't be here. Not on his weekend to get his mind free from all stress and terror.
Bumblebee slowly pointed a finger, and his teeth gritted, "What is he doing here? "
From right behind Bumblebee, the other three Autobots extended their guns out and held them tightly in their hands pointing them at Wasp.
Wasp backed off, and rose up his hands surrendering. He didn't want to cross them.
"Wait," Fluttershy interrupted. "Bumblebee, I know you two have had some past history--"
"Fluttershy... step away, from the Decepticon," Bumblebee snarled.
"Wasp no Decepticon, Wasp was framed. Please Bumblebot, let Wasp explain..." Wasp pleaded.
Bumblebee snarled some more, "Explain what!? I trusted you with my life, and I've looked out for you, and you couldn't even tell me that you were a Decepticon!?"
Wasp whimpered as he backed away.
"Bumblebee! You're scaring him!" Fluttershy cried.
"Like he did to me several years ago!?"
"Bumblebee! Listen to me! Wasp showed me proof that he's innocent!" Fluttershy pleaded.
The Autobots looked at each other with unconvinced expressions and shaking heads. They didn't believe a word of it. Fluttershy could easily tell they weren't convinced about Wasp being innocent. But maybe she should try a different method.
"Bumblebee?" Fluttershy asked.
Bumblebee looked towards Fluttershy.
"If I show you what I saw, will you please talk to him?" Fluttershy offered with pleading eyes.
Bumblebee stared deeply into the pits of Fluttershy's eyes. She gave a full on quivering puppy-dog stare. Bumblebee tried his best keeping a serious expression, but it was clear he couldn't keep it. His left eye kept on twitching like he was about to snap, which was very disconcerning.
Eventually, Bumblebee just stopped and sighed as he scrunched his face.
"Fine... as much as I really don't want to, I'll do it. Show me why you think he's innocent," Bumblebee sighed in annoyance. He turned to face his friends.
"Can I ask you guys to keep an eye on him while I talk with her?" Bumblebee asked.
They all gave nods and smiles.
"Thank you."
Bumblebee and Fluttershy walked off, leaving the group by themselves. Once they were out of their vision, they turned their heads immediately back on Wasp pointing their weapons straight at the green bot. Wasp was so terrified he extended his arms all the way up giving an indication that he was surrendering.
Fluttershy had taken Bumblebee to the edge of the dock which was far enough from the campsite where they could talk in private, and far enough so that none of the others could hear their conversation.
"Please do not push me off the edge of the dock again. I've done enough swimming for today, thanks to Beachcomber," Bumblebee with an angry tone in his voice. He had just about enough of everything that was going on today.
Fluttershy nodded, "I promise I won't push you off the dock. But I am going to show you this. Wasp showed me some evidence that showed what happened while you two were at the Elite Guard boot camp."
Fluttershy held the data chip in her hand as showed it to Bumblebee. Bumblebee leaned down a bit, squinting his eyes to gaze towards the data chip which made a shimmering sparkle of shininess on the metal.
"Just put it inside of your head, and you can see what was on that footage," Fluttershy said.
Bumblebee took the piece from the palm of Fluttershy's soft hand and examined it with his squinting eye. Maybe there was something very vital to see on the footage.
So he held the chip carefully and pushed it in an open slot onto the side of his head. Bumblebee's eyes projected a visual screen which began to play.
But as Bumblebee looked at the footage, and saw the Decepticon transform his physical structure to look like Wasp, just as he and Wasp actually left the barracks, his eyes widened and his jaw dropped.
"No..."
Back with the others, Wasp continued to stand in place with his hands in the air, still surrendering. He could feel sweat run down his head as he tried his best not to move a muscle to aggravate the other Autobots in front of him who were holding their guns pointed at his head.
Wasp gulped, "So... Autobots friends with Bumblebot?"
No one said anything, but just kept their eyes locked on to the green robot.
"Um... human girls, friends with Bumblebot too?"
Still no one said anything, not even Lemon Zest or Sunny Flare. They just stood staring at Wasp with their arms cross, and permanent glares on their faces.
"Anyone know what's happened with Megatron?" Wasp asked.
Wasp still didn't get a response from them. They must have really hated him if they weren't even going to give him a response back.
But their snarling faces came to a stop when they saw Fluttershy come back... by herself. She looked a little worried.
"Fluttershy are you okay?" Outback asked.
"Um... I think Bumblebee's about to cry," Fluttershy said with worry.
The others immediately dropped their guns when they heard what Fluttershy just told them. Did she say that? Did she, one of the sweetest girls they've met, and best friend to Bumblebee, was going to... cry?
"What?" Outback gasped.
"Dude..." Lemon murmured.
"Seriously?" Sunny asked.
"Bumblebot...?" Wasp said with worry.
Fluttershy nodded.
"Well, what did you say to him?" Beachcomber asked.
"I showed Bumblebee what Wasp showed me and... once the video stop he.... he asked to be left by himself," Fluttershy was even tearing up as well. "Bumblebee now knows Wasp is innocent..."
The others looked to one another with concern. Was Wasp actually innocent?
"May Wasp speak with Bumblebot?" Wasp asked.
"I think you've done enough--" Sunny interrupted with a snarling mouth.
"Sunny!" Fluttershy interrupted. She gave Sunny Flare a stern look, and she backed away. Fluttershy looked back at Wasp.
"Follow me," Fluttershy said.
Wasp followed Fluttershy out into the woods, leaving the others by themselves with concerned and worried looks on their faces. If what she showed to Bumblebee was about to make him cry, this wasn't going to be good.
Wasp and Fluttershy stopped when they came to the docks, and saw the sight of just one lonely Autobot sitting on the edge, staring off into the water.
Fluttershy gave a nod to Wasp, signaling him to just wait. She walked over to the edge of the dock, and sat down next to the metallic yellow Autobot. She looked to the side of Bumblebee's face and saw a few tear stains that had ran down.
"B-Bumblebee?" Fluttershy asked.
Bumblebee didn't say a word, but instead another tear came down his face as he closed his eyes.
"I'm... I'm... a monster..." Bumblebee whimpered.
"Oh Bumblebee..." Fluttershy moved close to give Bumblebee some warmth. "Its okay... you're not a monster.
"But I am!" Bumblebee pleaded as he looked to Fluttershy. "I sent an innocent bot to the stockade! I abandoned my friend when he didn't even do anything! I should be the one to rot in the Cybertronian stockade, he didn't even deserve it."
Fluttershy wiped away another tear that came down from Bumblebee's optic.
"Bumblebee..." Fluttershy lifted his chin, "Its not your fault. What matters now is that you and Wasp can talk it out."
"Fluttershy, he probably doesn't want to talk to me. I don't blame him if he doesn't want to," Bumblebee said looking away back at the open water that reflected from the sun. "And I don't expect him to forgive me. If he hates me for what I've done, blaming him for something he never did... then I understand."
Fluttershy didn't say another word after that. She looked behind and saw the green Cybertronian approach Bumblebee from behind. He gave him a pat on the shoulder.
"Wasp... forgive Bumblebot."
Bumblebee perked up a bit, and he jolted right up onto his feet and turned to see Wasp right behind him. He was so startled he was about to fall back into the water again, but Wasp moved in time and grabbed his arm, just before he fell in again.
Once Bumblebee pulled back up, he looked to his former Autobot companion.
"W-What did you say?"
Wasp blinked, "Wasp... forgive Bumblebot."
Bumblebee rubbed his eyes from his face, just to make sure he wasn't seeing things. Did Wasp actually say he forgave him?
"You... you forgive me? B-But... why? What did I do to deserve it? I've treated you horribly, I never talked to you about that issue, I completely abandoned you. Why are you forgiving me?" Bumblebee said.
Wasp looked back at Fluttershy with a pink eyed stare, and then gazed back to Bumblebee with a warm and comforting smile.
"Flutter girl say, sometimes..." Wasp coughed in between to speak clearly, "We all must show a little kindness."
Bumblebee looked back to Fluttershy who gave a warm smile, and then back to Wasp.
"But... I jailed you, I hurt you, I--"
"The only thing Bumblebot do, was not talk to Wasp about how Bumblebot felt. Nothing else. If Bumblebot concerned, Bumblebot should tell Wasp," Wasp said with a sympathetic look.
Bumblebee bit his lips, and his eyes closed, tears welling up again.
Wasp immediately moved over and gave him a big hug, patting him on the back. And Fluttershy moved in between and joined in for a group hug.
"There there... its okay," Fluttershy said patting Bumblebee's back.
Bumblebee continued to breathe heavily, as he was trying to calm down a bit, voice shaking up. He couldn't believe Wasp had forgiven him. He felt so horrible after what he had done, he couldn't even imagine that he was having this conversation with them.
Wasp and Fluttershy continued to pat Bumblebee's back, as he cried for a few minutes, unrelenting. Fluttershy nor Wasp had seen him this distressed before.
After calming down a bit, Fluttershy wiped another tear off of Bumblebee's face.
"Are you okay now?" Fluttershy asked.
Bumblebee nodded.
"Okay... Wasp. About what happened on Cybertron..."
Wasp nodded, giving Bumblebee his attention.
"I am so sorry that I wasn't telling you how I felt. I was scared, and I was afraid you were going to attack me. If I had talked to you, I would have found the truth by now. Instead I just hurt you, and I let a Decepticon in to the Elite Guard."
Wasp patted Bumblebee's shoulder.
"Wasp no hurt Bumblebot. Wasp just happy to be with Bumblebot... and Autobots," Wasp smiled.
Bumblebee looked back to Wasp confused, "So... you never cared about the Elite Guard?"
Wasp shook his head, "All Wasp want, was to work with Bumblebot in fighting Decepticons. And now, Wasp believe Wasp can with Bumblebot, all the way."
Bumblebee's eyes teared up again, only this time out of joy.
"Wasp I... I don't know to say..."
"No say anything Bumblebot," Wasp said. Happy tears were now forming on his face.
Fluttershy pulled them in for another group hug.
"Come here guys..." Fluttershy cooed.
All of them gave pats on each other's backs, and finally relaxed in their warm embrace. Their issue was resolved, they had talked it out, and now they were back together.
"So... are we still friends?" Bumblebee asked.
Wasp grinned, "Wasp... best friend is Bumblebot."
Bumblebee gave another smile and extended a hand out, and Wasp gladly shook Bumblebee's hand, before pulling him into another hug.
"Now... what do you say I introduce you to my friends?" Bumblebee asked.
Wasp gave a smile and nod, and he received one from Fluttershy as well.
The others waited for Fluttershy and Wasp to return, and they were starting to become impatient. Sunny Flare started pacing back and forth, Blaster began playing tunes for Lemon Zest to rock out to, Outback kept flipping his headlights on and off, and Beachcomber... well he just stood still like a statue and interacted with more birds that flew onto his body.
But their impatience came to a stop when they saw the other three come back to where they were hanging out.
"Bee, are you okay?" Blaster asked.
Bumblebee nodded.
"I'm better than ever. What I thought about Wasp before, and what I told you guys, was wrong. He's on our side, always has been, and always will. He's my best friend, and I only wish I could have been a better one. But I believe I know how," Bumblebee began, "Autobots, I'd like you all to meet my friend, and newest recruit of Team Prime."
The others gave some questioning looks to Bumblebee.
"Bumblebee, are you sure you're okay?" Sunny asked.
"I'm fine Sunny. Look, Wasp and I talked it out, and Fluttershy showed me the evidence."
Bumblebee's eyes displayed a holo-projection showing the exact footage that proved Wasp's innocence.
"Wasp was framed by a Decepticon who changed his appearance to look like him. I don't know who it was, but he's not a problem any more. Wasp is with us now, far from Cybertron and far from anyone who tries to hurt him."
Wasp gave Bumblebee a warm smile.
"Wasp... thanks, Bumblebot."
Bumblebee gave a smile back.
"Welcome to the Autobots Wasp."
The others perked up, and grins came on their faces. They were glad to see Bumblebee finally happy after the stress that he had endured a while ago. They never saw this amount of happiness from Bumblebee before.
"Bring it here ya lug!" Lemon said.
Bumblebee moved over to the group and everyone joined for a group hug. And the circle opened up for Fluttershy and Wasp as well. Now that their issue was over, they were finally at peace. Wasp was with the Autobots, and now his friendship with Bumblebee was restored.
The group broke off from the hug still giving friendly smiles, but Blaster's immediately dropped to a realization.
"Wait a minute... Bumblebee, there's something I forgot."
"What's that?" Bumblebee asked.
"When I came to tell you about Fluttershy and the others coming back, you said we weren't alone. But you weren't talking about them or Wasp... were you?" Blaster asked.
Bumblebee gave a confused look, and his eyes widened to realizing what he just remembered. He nodded, and the others gave some concerned looks.
"When I was walking around the woods, I felt like someone, or something was watching me. Like... stalking me from behind. And whatever it was, it didn't feel friendly."
"Maybe its Wasp's Decepticon captor," Wasp shivered as his arms clenched against his body.
"What do you mean?" Outback said.
"When I found Wasp, I found him tied up in the cave where we found the Cybertronian police supplies. And when we found those, someone... or something put us in the same cell with him. We didn't get a good look, but whatever what we saw he was pretty scary..." Fluttershy quivered.
"Wasp believe that Decepticon followed Wasp here on Earth. Wasp still don't know who Decepticon is..." Wasp said.
"Then maybe we should probably get the heck out of here!" Lemon cried.
Hiding in the trees, a figure in darkness watched them with illuminating red eyes.
"Yes... go..."
But none of the Autobots heard him speak.
"No, we can't leave. This bot must be after something important if it locked up Wasp in the cave. I don't know who he is, but we have to find him and stop him now. Split up and search the woods, but keep your communicators and tracking mechanisms on. If he's out here, we have to find him now. Lets move," Bumblebee ordered.
The others gave their nods, and they all began to split up.
But the figure in the tree kept his optics on them.
"I'm not going down that easily Autobots..."
The figure's eyes began emitting an invisible red scanning vision which began to slide up and down on each of the Autobots, and none of them even saw it. In the figure's vision, with each one that was shown to be scanned, there was a grid display and a full on body shot and vehicle shot of each Cybertronian that he scanned. Just the right amount that he needed...
Bumblebee rushed back to the campsite, having no sign of where the figure was hiding. He couldn't find anything all on his own, and it didn't seem like a good idea to go by himself. Bumblebee hit the side of his ear, activating a communications device.
"Everyone," Bumblebee began, "Come back to the campsite. I think we should probably split into groups. Trying to find this threat individually is just a stupid idea."
Once Bumblebee finished, he stood by himself waiting for the others. It was taking an awful long time, maybe it wasn't such a good idea to send them all back to where he was.
Soon enough he saw them all running towards him. From left to right he was looking at Beachcomber in buggy mode, Outback in his car mode, the girls in one group, Wasp, Blaster, and Beachcomber in buggy mode. All of them pulled up to one another forming a group for Bumblebee to face.
"Okay, now that we're all back together, did anyone find anything?" Bumblebee asked.
Everyone shook their heads.
"Okay, well then--" Bumblebee froze when he looked to the left. Something wasn't right. Beachcomber was on the right... and on the left? He kept swaying his head side to side as he looked. Was he seeing double? Was he crazy? No... he wasn't. There was in fact, two Beachcombers right in front of him.
"Wait a minute..." Bumblebee said as he looked side to side. "I've seen this scenario thousands of times..."
The others looked and they began to notice it as well. Very uncanny in fact.
"Two Beachcombers?" Fluttershy gasped.
Bumblebee's eyes widened as he stared at the two of them in terrified shock. Something about this wasn't quite right...
The Transformers will return after these messages...
Equestria Girls In Disguise: Ghosts Of Our Past
We 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.
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...
Equestria Girls In Disguise: Ghosts Of Our Past
We now return to the Transformers...
Both Wasps stood, face to face, snarling mouths, and glaring eyes. Both were ready to make a move, and ready to strike. Their rest of their metallic friends stood around, with shocked looks on their faces. Two Wasps? Now things were going to be difficult.
"How can we tell who's who?" Applejack asked.
"Maybe we can ask questions?" Sunset asked, hesitantly.
"NO!" Both Wasps yelled.
Everyone flinched at the doubles yelling at everyone.
"Wasp will finish changeling way Wasp want to... and changeling will die..."
Both Wasps clenched their fists, and they began circling one another, while everyone else backed away from their fight. Both Wasp's kept angry looks upon their faces, both looking like they were ready to pounce each other like jaguars. Both arms of each figure transformed into stinger weapons, both sharpened to the bone. But as the two kept circling each other, everyone was starting to grow confusion.
A few of the Autobots and the girls included scratched their heads, and their chins trying to determine who was the real bot.
"Which one is the real Wasp?", Twilight asked.
"I don't know, I lost track!" Sunny said.
"I think I have an idea," Fluttershy replied.
She ran down further into the base, far from the fight and from the small group of Autobots that were near the entrance. She knew just what to get, and she had to get it fast.
Sunny Flare looked to Optimus Prime, "Optimus, does Teletraan-1 have any files about a Decepticon who can shape-shift?"
Optimus gave a nod, and activated the main computer, pulling up the prisoner manifest. Several images were flashing around a screen, all of them resembling files from the prison manifest. Each figure that appeared on the manifest were covered in shadows, and they kept on flashing around as the files kept moving fast and fast. Eventually, it came to a stop and selected a shadowy figure that was gigantic. Its shadow was cast away revealing its form.
The figure itself revealed had a grub-like appearance, with little to no facial features, only having a pair of red eyes.
"That's him! That's the changeling we saw!" Sunny called. "What does it say about him?"
Optimus looked towards the manifest, reading the bio information.
"His name is Pseudo, one of the Decepticons strongest and swiftest spies. No one had seen proof or sign of him, but one bot caught sight and footage of his appearance and sent it to the Cybertronian authorities. But the Autobot who sent the footage was previously killed, and no one had seen sight of him since."
The girls looked back to the two Wasp's still dueling it out.
"Until today," Lemon said.
One Wasp had a gun in his hand, while the other just clenched his fists tightly. The Wasp with the gun fired two shots at the other Wasp, but he ducked from both of the shots. He snarled as he faced the other and his hands swung towards the other's face, trying to throw a punch across it.
The other Wasp ducked in time, and he backed off from him, still snarling. He readied his fists to throw a punch, and landed one across the other Wasp's face which gave him pain.
"Wasp not back down from changeling bot, Wasp will kill changeling bot!" one of the two Wasp's yelled.
The Wasp on the left made a lunge forwards, trying to tackle the other Wasp down to the ground. But the other Wasp made a spin and a roundhouse kick to his chest, forcing him away from him kicking him to the ground.
The Wasp still standing performed a wrestling slam on the body of the other Wasp and held his stinger up in the air, its electricity surging in the weapon.
"Whoa, wait!" Lemon called out.
The Wasp that had the other one pinned down snarled at Lemon, his eyes glowing with fury.
"Wasp waited stellar-cycles in stockade, lose all Wasp's friends, lose identity as Autobot, become wanted dead by all Cybertron, never make it into the Elite Guard, and lost friendship to Bumblebot! All thanks to Changeling bot.
The Wasp that was pinned gave quivering eyes to the other Wasp who looked like a lion ready to feast on his fleshy blood.
"Changeling bot know what it like to lose everything, and have everyone turn on Wasp!?"
Wasp's stingers pulsated with energy, and he pointed it straight to the neck of the pinned Wasp.
"Changeling bot will..."
At that moment, the pinned Wasp forced the other Wasp off his body and got back up on his feet, ready for battle. The other Wasp snarled and he stood back on his feet as well. But as they were ready to fight again...
"Wait!" Fluttershy called out.
The two Wasp's turned their heads and saw Fluttershy interrupt their battle, walking in with her Autobot power suit. She was looking for that suit to lend herself a hand in dealing with this fight.
"I know two ways to help solve our problem. I know the real Wasp has stingers, can you both pull them out?"
Both Wasp's nodded, and their arms transformed to reveal paralyzing stinger weapons.
"Good, now can one of you fire them towards the wall?"
The Wasp closest to Fluttershy readied his, but he fired his onto the other Wasp in front of him sending a big paralyzing shock. The shock however didn't paralyze his body, but something else happened to him. His green plating began transforming into dark black, and his entire physical structure changed from its normal humanoid look. His body was changing back into the grub-like form he had taken on before. Pseudo was finally revealed to the Autobots.
"AHA!" Lemon called.
The changeling's eyes glowed and they could hear him mutter something under his breath. But before he could make his move, Wasp grabbed him by the neck and slammed him against the wall
Pseudo's glowing red eyes gave a whimpering look as he was held against the wall, Wasp's stinger at the ready to make a stab right into his empty face.
"Wasp, wait! We can't harm him!" Fluttershy pleaded. "Remember what Bumblebee said! We can't kill him!"
Wasp just snarled some more as he stared at Pseudo's pleading eyes.
"Wasp can kill him. Wasp will kill him...", Wasp growled.
Psuedo's eyes closed, and Wasp's mouth snarled some more, he was ready to stab his electrifying stinger right into Psuedo's chest. The other Autobots couldn't believe what he was about to do. He couldn't be.
They waited for Wasp to make his move, watched as his fist backed up and got ready to strike, and everyone's eyes closed to hear the sound of Wasp's stinger fire its sound. No one made another sound, or movement. They weren't even sure if they wanted to open their optics to see the effect.
Fluttershy's eyes were the first to give a peak, and she gasped at what she saw. Wasp had jammed his stinger... into the wall next to Pseudo. He never went for Psuedo's face, or his chest. He hit it to the side, making a hole in the wall.
Wasp breathed heavily, panting like a panther. He snarled at the Decepticon again, and pushed him off onto the ground, freed from his hand. He looked back to Fluttershy, face now changed to a friendly look.
"Wasp may not like changeling bot... but Wasp no bad guy. Wasp no Decepticon, Wasp Autobot."
Pseudo got back up on his feet and he readied his arms out for another attack. He leaped at Wasp, and made a kick to his plating knocking him down to the ground. Pseudo grabbed the gun from the side and held it to Wasp's face and looked at the other Autobots who were witnessing everything.
"One move... and Wasp dies..."
"How... dare you!"
Pseudo turned around and was met with a punch from Fluttershy's fist. Pseudo backed away from the punch, and looked to see Fluttershy's height was now elevated above him. He couldn't stand a chance against her now.
Fluttershy turned her head to look at Wasp and offered a hand, "I know you want to face him alone, but sometimes we need everyone's help to deal with our problems."
Wasp just gave a small nod "Wasp... understand. Can, Fluttergirl, please... help, Wasp?"
Fluttershy smiled "Of course."
Wasp accepted Fluttershy's hand and he got back up his feet. But something else had occurred. The eyes in Fluttershy's head unit began glowing bright yellow. But that never happened, why was it glowing in there? Why was it happening? What was going on in there?
Wasp tilted his head confused, "Flutter... girl?"
The head unit transformed from off the suit, and the suit converted back into a helicopter form. The headmaster suit began folding back into a suit, revealing Fluttershy, but something else was seen on her. She grew pony ears, pegasus wings that sprouted from her back, and long lustrous hair grew out hanging over her back.
Everyone looked at her with excitement and amazement.
"Whoa..." Rainbow said.
"Snazzy!" Pinkie replied.
Fluttershy's eyes opened, with a stern glare on her face and she readied herself in a fighting position with Wasp.
"Its just us now Pseudo." Fluttershy said.
Pseudo put himself into a fighting position, his slender arms hanging out and his talons ready to start clawing. He made the first move and tried to lunge at Fluttershy swinging a claw at her, but she moved in time and made a jump back avoiding his swing. She readied her arm blasters, and they set off a burst of hot bright light towards his eyes.
"AGH!!!"
Wasp took advantage of what he had, and made a leg sweep to Pseudo's legs, knocking him down to the ground. Pseudo got back on his feet, his eyes wincing from the bright light in his vision. He snarled and attempted to move again, only Fluttershy soared up and forced him to fly right against the base door with her rocket pack.
Pseudo now freed from her grabbing onto him, attempted to swing again, only he kept missing every time he tried to claw Fluttershy. She ducked, and swayed side to side, he just couldn't grab her.
Wasp took advantage of his failure and slammed a fist across his face. Grabbing him by the legs, he began swinging around and around, trying to throw him like a mace toss. He let go, and Pseudo's body hit against the door, slamming it down.
"Oh, I wondered when the door would come off," Pinkie said.
Pseudo slowly tried getting back up on his feet, but he was met with Wasp grabbing his face and throwing a punch across it. Once two more punches were thrown, Wasp threw Pseudo outside into the blazing hot desert sand, his face digging into it.
Wasp and Fluttershy stomped forward, standing firm and strong, ready for another battle.
Pseudo just snarled and got back up on his feet.
"You may have won this battle, but I promise you, you will never be safe when my hands strangle your throat Wasp!"
Pseudo's body transformed into a green car, and he sped off into the empty desert leaving Fluttershy and Wasp alone to stand as they watched him flee the scene.
"Wasp and Fluttergirl may have won, but Wasp know changeling bot will come back...", Wasp said.
"And we'll be ready for him," Fluttershy said.
Optimus and the others stepped out of the base, and they looked at Fluttershy and Wasp with friendly smiles. Optimus too had a cheerful smile on his face.
"Wasp, Fluttershy, I'm proud of you too. Even without the help of Bumblebee, you two still managed to take down the Decepticon. I'm proud to call you both Autobots."
Fluttershy smiled back, "I think the real hero here today here is Wasp."
Wasp just gave a shrug and a nervous smile to the Autobot commander.
"Wasp couldn't do it without help...", Wasp said, rubbing the back of his head.
"You've proven yourself today Wasp. We'll see about getting you a proper welcome into the Autobots."
Wasp gave a smile and nod, "Wasp, thanks Optimus Prime. But Wasp more concerned about Bumblebot and others back at Everfree!"
Optimus nodded, "Ratchet. Open a Groundbridge, we've got Autobots to help."
The Transformers will return after these messages...
Author's Note
Sorry this took too long and sorry this is so rushed. At this point, I want this episode done to move on to other projects, and I'll take any negativity from this about now. I'm sorry, but I want to move onto something else, and this is just how its going to end up. There will be one more chapter though.
Until then, please leave comments! I love to read your comments.
Equestria Girls In Disguise: Ghosts Of Our Past
We now return to the Transformers...
One Week Later...
After Wasp and Fluttershy defeated Pseudo, the rest of the Autobots made their jump over to the Everfree Forest to help rescue their Autobot allies who were stuck in the cave. All of them were still alive, but some were heavily wounded from being crushed under piles of rocks. However they recovered and they were back to their usual selves again.
Bumblebee in particular was quite happy to see Wasp was welcomed into the Autobots and he heard about how Wasp and Fluttershy worked as one to defeat Pseudo but was displeased to hear that he had escaped. But the Decepticon's escape didn't take his happiness of the situation away. He was glad to hear Wasp was now welcomed among the Autobots, and they were planning on throwing a huge celebration for Wasp's welcome to their team.
Everyone at the Autobot base was gathered together, all for the ceremony. Some of them were pleased, but others were not. Two bots in particular.
"Why are they bringing in a Decepticon fugitive in to the base? This isn't right," Tracks huffed.
"How can we even believe he's one of us after what he did to Lieutenant Bumblebee?" Strongarm asked.
Both of their remarks were stopped to see Hound giving glares to the two young recruits.
"You two need to cool your circuits, Wasp is innocent and he just proved it to all of us. Now I suggest you two cool off if you've got nothing nice to say to our new addition to Team Prime," Hound said.
Several Autobots were on the left and right forming crowds, while in the middle was Bumblebee, Wasp, and Fluttershy who had taken knees down for the ceremony/celebration. And in the front was Optimus Prime, and on his sides were Ratchet, Jazz, Wheeljack, and Ironhide. Right in front of the Autobots were the rest of Sunset's friends and the Shadowbolt girls who all stood straight and well dressed for the occasion.
A fanfare of horns played off the sides, and the ceremony began.
Optimus Prime cleared his throat, and began speaking.
"Fellow Autobots, Guardians and humans. We are gathered today to honor three of our warriors for their courage and strength for their performances today. As of now, the spying charges on Wasp are no more. While he may not be welcome on Cybertron, he is welcome among us here on Earth, as a part of Team Prime. And I am proud of the courage that he has displayed with Fluttershy... and Bumblebee."
Wasp simply gave a smile and he was met with smiles from Fluttershy and Bumblebee as well.
Ratchet came walking towards Fluttershy and Bumblebee, each with small medals in his hands.
"Congratulations, fellow Autobots," Ratchet said with a smile. He hung a medal around Bumblebee's neck, and he strung one onto Fluttershy as well. Both of them looked towards the medals with smiles, and gave they Ratchet a nod with thankfulness. Once Ratchet was done, he stepped back to stand with the other leading Autobots.
"Ironhide?" Optimus asked.
Ironhide nodded and walked off to the side. Once he came back, he was seen holding a branding iron, with the shape of the iron in the form of an Autobot logo. The iron itself was steaming hot, and Wasp gulped at the sight of the burning tool.
"Don't worry kid, this only hurts for a few moments," Ironhide said, "All of us had to go through with this when we signed up for the war."
Wasp felt himself shaking. That thing was going to burn his plating. But he felt a small hand grab his. He turned his head and saw Fluttershy pat his with a warm smile. She was gonna be there to calm him down.
"Don't worry Wasp, its okay. I know this isn't the best method of getting an Autobot symbol, but unfortunately its the only method that any of us have gotten it," Bumblebee said, "You'll be fine, besides, the pain only lasts for about 10 seconds and then its gone."
Wasp gulped again and gave a small nod.
Ironhide slowly moved down with the branding iron and pointed it to his chest. With one quick move, he slammed the iron onto his green chest which was steaming hot. Wasp let out a big of a groan from the pain as it burned his chest.
"Agh... Wasp think Autobots need better plan for insignia implant..." Wasp winced.
A few Autobots looked at each other giving agreeing nods.
"Why do we even have this method to begin with?" Strongarm interrupted.
Optimus spoke up, "Our insignias come with tracking mechanisms so if any of us goes missing we can find each other. As a safety precaution."
Wasp gave a nod, and touched a part of his chest that was still steaming. It was too hot for his small fingers which made him wince some more.
"Wasp, I hereby welcome you as a member of Team Prime, and secondary guardian to Fluttershy. Welcome, fellow Autobot. Til All Are One!"
Wasp gave a smirk and nod, "Til All Are One!" Wasp cheered as he raised a fist.
Everyone at the base gave a big round of applause and gave a few cheers. Wasp looked at the sights of the Autobots giving admiration and cheer around him. He was here, he had finally made it with the Autobots, he was going to help serve the Autobot cause, and help win the war for Cybertron. No more was he to suffer on Cybertron held in jail for a crime he never committed. He was free, he was here.... he was home.
"Lets Party!" Pinkie called.

As time went on, Wasp had been slowly adjusting to his new life on Earth with Bumblebee and the other Autobots. They taught him bits of Earth's history, and he learned more about their status with the war so far. And as another special addition, Wasp obtained an Earth-based vehicle mode to help him better blend with the code of the Autobots on Earth, their code being 'robots in disguise'.
Almost everywhere that the Autobots and the girls could see, Wasp was happy for most of the time. He was really enjoying his new life on Earth far from Cybertron. And he didn't stop there, he stayed and he hung out with the girls some more and he got to know them some more.
Wasp helped Ironhide and Applejack do some applebucking on the apple farm, Wasp accepted Rarity and Knockout's help on a little bit of new pain for his vehicle form to look 'fabulous', and Wasp even joined Rainbow Dash and Sideswipe in racing practice to work on speed. But most of the time, Wasp spent his time staying at Fluttershy's with Bumblebee. The three of them had nothing but fun when they hung out together.
Wasp lent a hand around the house whenever Fluttershy was out. He helped take care of the animals that were over at her place, he made lunch for her to take to at school, and he even took shifts to take her too and out of school. But Wasp's curiosity about Earth struck him plenty of times.
During a session when he was doing Fluttershy's laundry, his curiousity enticed him when he was looking at Fluttershy's clothes. Very strange wear that the humans wore. Wasp's eyes examined a bra in his hand, and squinted his eyes when he looked.
"Eh, not Wasp's size," Wasp shrugged as he chucked it into the washing machine.
But for most of the time Wasp was able to focus and relax while he was with his new friends. Even during times when things should have stressed him he still calmed down.
During a working shift, he ended up taking a job doing grocery shopping for Fluttershy, and he ended up with a few stares from people. The sight of an Autobot doing grocery shopping was quite strange. But the strangeness of it went away when he readied for action to stop a gunman from trying to steal cash out of the register.
--
Later that night, Wasp was seen sipping oil from a drinking can and he stood next to Fluttershy and Bumblebee as the three of them stared off into the night sky, both at peace with one another. After everything that they had gone through, it felt good to be calming down for now.
"Its great to have you back buddy," Bumblebee said as he patted Wasp's shoulder.
Wasp gave a smile, "Wasp glad to be back with Bumblebot, and Autobots. But Wasp not sure about other Autobots..."
Fluttershy titled her head, "You mean Strongarm and Tracks?"
Wasp nodded, "Wasp think Trackbot and Strongbot hate Wasp."
"They don't hate you. They just need to take some time to know you personally. They'll warm up to you, I know it. They warmed up to us when we first met them. I know they will to you."
Wasp wasn't too sure. From what he was told about the two newbies, it didn't sound like they were too friendly. But he was still willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.
But as Wasp stared up into the sky, something else caught his mind.
"But one thing still makes Wasp confused..." Wasp said, scratching his head. "What was big mess in cave?"
Bumblebee gave Wasp a strange look, "What do you mean?"
"While Wasp looked in cave, Wasp see strange dead Cybertronians. But Wasp don't know from what though... now Wasp confused."
Bumblebee wasn't too sure, but from Wasp's explanation and from Fluttershy said about it, it didn't sound too good. But they could only hope that whatever made it before was long gone...
Back in Canterlot City, in another part of town, in one of the abandoned parts of the dark street, one lone Decepticon walked in the darkness, hidden in the alleyways. He had been trying to find his way to the rest of those he called his allies, but he could barely find nor get a signal.
"Hm... where are they? I can't be walking out in these stupid organic streets all night..."
But as the Decepticon walked, he didn't focus on the sky above. For something above was watching him. From one of the building tops, one lone figure stood on the edge as he stared at the Decepticon walking in the street.
From the figure's eyes, everything was closed out, but the only objects that stood out were objects that were highlighted in bright blue. And all that the figure was locking onto, was the Cybertronian which was highlighted in blue. The figure made a swoop off the building and began soaring down at the Decepticon figure.
As if the swoop didn't catch his attention, he turned and froze when he heard another sound coming from the figure. An earpiercing sonic scream came right at his face, catching him in a frozen locked form. Then once he was frozen, the figure grabbed the Decepticon and swooped off into the night sky letting out another screech.
No one even noticed the strange figure taking the Decepticon away taking him off into the night sky...
The End
Author's Note
Apologies, this isn't the best way to end this, but at this point I'm just done. Okay? I just want to work on my other projects, I've got other things I want to do.
So this was Ghosts of Our Past. My final verdict... 5 out of 10. Rushed, too predictable, barely anything interesting happens. Outside of Wasp. I'm sorry, I'm just not feeling good about this one than what I did for Gallows of CHS. If you've got final verdicts, feel free to make your own, but this one just wasn't good.
Equestria Girls In Disguise: Ghosts Of Our Past
Author's Note
So now we've got Season 1 Episode 2 of Equestria Girls In Disguise. I would have tried a Christmas fic, but I'm not coming up with ideas, so I figured I'd leave another episode for you guys. Dedicated to Shadowmane PX-41. I hope you like it buddy.
Escape From Cybertron
Far off across into the galaxy, on a section of Cybertron, several Cybertronian vehicles were speeding along on an empty road.
This group of Autobots were racing down a speedway in an deserted city heading towards their destination. There wasn't anyone around in the empty city. In fact, it was 100% abandoned. Every citizen had left the buildings a long time ago since there were numerous amounts of battles that took place. There was nothing left but except a few buildings with dozens of holes and parts missing. It was practically inhabitable.
As for the vehicles that were speeding, one was a Cybertronian car, another was a tank, and the last one was a fighter jet. All of them were zooming in one group heading for their destination. On each one of them there was an Autobot Elite Guard symbol.
The vehicles made another turn and eventually pulled up to a giant Autobot fortress that was surrounded by several Autobot guards. The three Autobots pulled up and transformed into their robot forms.
"Welcome Headmasters," the guard said. "Come on in."
The Autobot Headmasters walked on in entering inside of the base. Their feet clanked against the ground as they walked through the hallways, entering in one particular room. And once they entered in, they were met with one Autobot who stood. He was mostly colored in blue and orange, and had an Elite Guard symbol on his chest. This was Sentinel Prime, one of the few remaining commanders on Cybertron.
All three Headmasters gave salutes.
"Finally. Chromedome, Hardhead, Brainstorm, what took you so long?" Sentinel snapped.
"Just enjoying the view of the empty city, Sentinel Prime," Chromedome said.
Sentinel groaned, "I don't get what it is you like about empty places."
"Its nice to have some peace and quiet every once in a while. And it certainly doesn't help that your voice is about as loud as those Dinobots," Chromedome grunted.
"The same voice that you repaired and back with the Autobot Elite Guard?" Sentinel snapped.
"That was all Ultra Magnus's doing you dolt."
"Stop," Brainstorm interrupted. "Can we get through one day without you two bickering at each other. I swear this happens every time..."
"Don't blame him Brainstorm, he's just made because somebot chased off one of our friends," Hardhead snarled.
Sentinel glared, "Are you talking about Highbrow? He was a complete moron, he shouldn't have tried to leave Cybertron in the first place. The minute he reappears he's under arrest for assaulting a high commander," Sentinel huffed.
Hardhead just facepalmed in annoyance. But Brainstorm cleared his throat and interrupted.
"Anyways, Sentinel. You called us to discuss something important, I assume?" Brainstorm asked.
"Yes, I did. A Decepticon fugitive that we've locked up from Autobot boot camp a few years ago has busted out, and now he's on the loose. We believe you three are the best suited for the job. Think you can handle it?" Sentinel asked.
"Not a problem Sentinel," Hardhead said, "We handle these kind of situations all the time."
"Can you give us an ID?" Chromedome asked.
Sentinel pulled out a small holographic sheet and showed them the file on the fugitive. The three Headmasters nodded with agreement.
"We'll take care of it right away," Chromedome said.
"Headmasters, transform!" Brainstorm called out.
All three of them transformed into their vehicular modes while their heads transformed into miniature robots and clinged onto each other's sides. The three vehicles then turned themselves around and sped out of the building, leaving a trail of dust for Sentinel Prime to cough in.
As the three Headmaster Autobots sped off into the city again, they began moving their searchlights around, to see if they can get any better view of the fugitive they were after. The lights flickered through alleyways, shined over the streets and over other Cybertronians, but there was no sign of the fugitive they were after.
"Where do you think he could be?" Hardhead asked.
"Don't know, but we got to find him and fast," Chromedome said.
"Where do you think someone like him would go?"
"Based on his movements and behavior, if I was him, I'd probably go for a Spacebridge and bridge off this planet," Brainstorm said.
The three Elite Guard Headmasters sped on by past another alleyway, and made a right turn passing by a heavily guarded Spacebridge. There were dozens of Autobot guards surrounding the place, it was nearly impossible for anyone to just barge on through. But one bot in particular had other ideas...
Hidden in the darkness from behind a building, one singular Cybertronian peeked at the gates protected by the guards.
"Hm... One innocent... other guilty..."
The Cybertronian readied his arm, and it immediatley transformed into a high powered weapon. Then hiding back into the darkness some more, he aimed it towards a top of another building just beyond him. The blast was aimed at just the right position, and a shot of green electric energy zapped the top of the building, getting the guards attention.
The guards were unsure of what had happened, but there was no harm in checking it out. So they ran from their posts going towards the source. The stupidity just made the Cybertronian laugh.
"Stupid guards..."
The Cybertronian quickly sneaked up towards the gate and paused for a moment to look around him just for safety. He looked on his left, he looked to his right, and he looked behind and above. Nobody following him, what a stroke of luck.
He hit a button on a control console which opened up the gates, and he ran on through trying to make it to where he wanted to go. He ran up several flights of stairs which eventually led to what he was looking for. The Spacebridge.
"Yes...."
The Cybertronian walked up to the control panel and gazed towards the switches and little screen in the lower corner. There were some slots along the sides for coordinates. Oh so many places to go, but where to? Quintessa? Athenia?
The Cybertronian scratched his chin some more and hit a few buttons. Who knew where he would go, but at this point, anywhere was better than here on Cybertron. Better to be on an unknown world instead of here on Cybertron where he was wanted by all.
He hit a few buttons and eventually, a portal opened up. He gazed up at the open portal, and a big smile came on his face.
"Freedom... at last..." the Cybertronian said.
"Hold it right there, Decepticon!"
The Cybertronian looked around and saw the Headmasters pointing their guns towards him. All of them didn't look very happy to see what he had done.
"By order of the Cybertronian Police, you are under arrest. Now are you going to come along quietly, or loudly?" Hardhead said, clutching a pair of stasis cuffs in his hands.
The Cybertronian looked at them for a moment, and he raised his hands in surrender. For about five seconds. He fired mutliple zaps onto the Headmasters and then shot them at the controls.
Soon enough, the entire Spacebridge began shorting out and creating a big whir noise. Electricity static noise was made, there were bolts that were zapping all over the place, and the sound of the whir got bigger and bigger. Almost as if it was ready to explode.
The Cybertronian looked around him for a moment. It was his final goodbye to Cybertron. And good riddance. He gave one salute to the area around him, and jumped through the portal not looking back. But one guard saw him jump through and gave an evil smirk on his face.
"Hm... escaping are we? Oh they'll be most pleased indeed," the guard chuckled, before his expression turned grim, "But if he lets anyone know who I am... well..." the guard's expression changed to an evil look, "then we'll have to finish him on our own, shall we?"
The guard made a bolt for the portal and jumped through just in time. On the outside, the portal began to overload some more as more electricity sparks shot around the place. And before anyone could react, the entire Spacebridge had shut itself down. No power, no energy, it was no longer running.
The Headmasters who were on the ground on their backs looked back up, and gasped when they saw what happened.
"No..." Hardhead murmured.
