We now return to the Transformers...

The five Crystal Prep girls had finally made it off from school, and they were all walking together all the way to the car show which was all the way over near the mall. Luckily the weather was incredibly nice out so they could just walk around without being pelted by bad weather. And before any of them left to go on their walk to the car show, they took a short stop to collect some drinks over at a cafe to take with.

Lemon slurped her lemonade through a straw very loudly while she bobbed her head to the beats on her headset.

"How is she able to drink all of that lemonade?" Sunny asked, "That's a large cup!"

"Just give her 20 minutes, then you'll get an answer," Sugarcoat replied.

Lemon sipped her drink some more and gulped, "Ahh... that's the stuff... what we were talking about?"

"Nothing of importance dearie," Sunny replied as she took another sip from her cup.

"Okay, lets just keep on rolling," Indigo said as she led the group away.

Sour smiled as she walked with her friends, sipping away at her hot chocolate. Sunny looked back and a smile escaped her face as she looked to her happy friend.

"Someone's happy aren't they?"

Sour giggled, "Yeah... I'm just happy to see Smallfoot after school. She always makes me smile."

Sunny grinned, "I'm glad to hear that dearie. And I'm glad you two are together. You two are quite the... what's the term? Smitten kittens?"

Sour's cheeks heated up, making Sunny giggle.

"I've never seen Sour blush so hard!" Indigo teased.

Sour just twirled her hair, "Y-Yeah..."

But as the girls kept walking, Sugarcoat stopped when she felt her phone vibrate.

"Oh, wait a second...", Sugarcoat pulled her phone up and she read the name of who was calling her, "Its Bumblebee."

"Bumblebee?" Sour asked.

"Why would the buzzing Bee be calling you?" Lemon asked.

"I don't know. Hang on, I'll put him on speaker."

Sugarcoat swiped her finger on the phone, answering the call.

"Bumblebee, why are you calling me? Also you're on speakerphone."

"Are the rest of the girls there with you?"

"Yeah... why?" Indigo asked.

"Listen. There are three Bots coming their way to the car show and I don't think they're Autobots. I don't know who they are, but something seems suspicious about them."

"Okay, why would they be suspicious?" Sour asked.

"Because one of them has an Autobot logo that's clawed out, and the others don't seem to have marks. I'm willing to bet they're Decepticons. Just keep your eyes open and if you need help, call us."

"We hear ya Bee!" Lemon called out.

The phone hung up, and the girls looked to each other with concern.

"Okay...so... we know there are three unidentified Cybertronians on their way to the car show. The best we can do is to stay calm, and keep on going. Lets just go to the car show and find out who they are."

"But what if they're Decepticons?" Sugarcoat asked.

"We can turn on the silent alarm. This will get the Autobots coming our direction. But come on, lets just keep going."

The girls all grunted in agreement and they progressed their walking to the car show. They had to keep moving.

After 10 minutes of walking, the girls had finally arrived over to the Canterlot Mall's parking lot where all of the cars were displayed for the show. Each of them were gleaming and glimmering in the sun as their chrome sparkled and their paint shined.

"Ooh! Shiny!" Lemon grinned.

"Just don't go drooling over anything like Indigo here," Sugarcoat said.

"I only drooled one time!"

"And you just confirmed what I said," Sugarcoat responded.

Sour rolled her eyes, "Come on. Lets just take a look. And keep your trackers on you or our job just becomes 10 times harder than it already is!"

The group gave their nods and they split up into different directions, all going around the car show. So many beautiful and even sexy looking cars were out on display for them to gawk at. The sights were too attractive for them to stare at.

With Lemon Zest and Indigo Zap, the two of them walked together as they were ogling at some sports cars that were displayed in the parking lots.

"Ooh, these cars are so awesome!" Lemon grinned.

"I know right?"

Lemon Zest turned her head to the right and her eyes widened and a big smile came on her face to see the sports car on her right. The color was all in red, with a big engine sticking from the hood, tailpipes jotting out from the left and right near the front, and big tires arching the car forward in the back.

"Nice...", Lemon grinned.

"That's an awesome car," Indigo replied.

But their car-gawking stopped when they felt large pounds on the ground, coming right behind them. The pounding sounded like larger footsteps, and they were getting closer and closer behind them.

The two slowly turned around and were towered over by a shadow. When they got a look at the figure, they were staring at mostly dark color with a few blue glowing neon glows on his body, along with glaring red eyes.

"Greetings my little ones... Who might you be?"

Lemon blinked for a second.

"This dude sounds like a demon and that is awesome!", Lemon whispered, "And I think he might be a Decepticon."

"How do you know that?" Indigo asked.

Overload chuckled, "You two are well aware of the Autobots and Decepticons, aren't you?"

Indigo just stared up at Overload with an unamused look, "Yeah. Why else would they be allowed to wander out in public?"

"I don't know. Museum equipment? Concert costumes? Highly advanced machinery that pose as new equipment for a rescue team on a small island and no one blinks an eye that they're clearly not regular robots?"

"That just sounds really stupid when you say it out loud," Indigo said bluntly.

"I completely agree. But anyways, no I am not a Decepticon. My loyalty is no longer to them... especially since they're bringing your war to your world..."

Indigo just raised a brow as he stared to the former Con.

"I see... and your name is?"

Overload chuckled, "My name is Overload. Pleasant to make your acquaintance, Miss?"

Overload's hand extended down to shake Indigo's hand, but she was reluctant to shake his hand. But eventually, she moved her hand up and shook his.

"Indigo...", Indigo hesitated.

Overload just smirked.

"You're a funny looking thing aren't you?"

"I could say the same thing about you," Indigo snapped.

Lemon's jaw gaped wide when she heard the response. This wasn't going to end well!

Overload didn't respond back with a fist slamming her body to the ground, painting the parking row with her blood. But instead, he just smirked.

"You raise a good point, my little lady. But... I'm not here to start any verbal wars. But I could use some advice from pretty organics such as you two. Which vehicle would you suggest I scan for my... alternate form?"

Lemon Zest and Indigo Zap glanced to one another with intrigued looks on their faces, along with concerned. Should they give their assistance to this Cybertronian they just met? Is this mystery alien actually the opposite of what he appears, or was there an ulterior motive?

"Perhaps we can help. Follow us...", Indigo said unsure.

Far on the other side of the parking lot was Sugarcoat and Sunny Flare who walked on their own, also gazing at the other vehicles. But they were also keep their eyes peeled for in the event that the mystery Cybertronians had appeared in the vicinity of where they came from.

"Alright... no signs of Cybertronians here," Sugarcoat said as she waved her tracker device in front of her. She kept waving the tracker in front of each of the cars as they walked on by.

"You think we're going to be facing some more fugitives from the prison crash a few weeks ago?" Sunny asked.

"Possibly," Sugarcoat replied, "But I'm not entirely sure. I think--"

Sugarcoat dropped dead silent as she halted and looked in front of her. She held her tracker in front of her which beeped rapidly, hinting the hidden life force underneath the car.

In front of them, within the parked cars was an orange off-road SUV type of vehicle, colored in orange with a brownish roll-bar near the back, yellow headlights, purple neon glowing around the insides of the tires, and a small hook dangling from the grill of the car. The car was also covered in several scratch marks, making its coat not very fresh or new. And the glowing neon colors didn't fool the girls. They knew only certain others would be glowing in neon in vehicular form.

Sugarcoat stared and blinked at the car for a second before speaking.

"I don't know who you are, but that disguise is not working. Your obvious neon colors are standing out to us, even if you don't have an Autobot or Decepticon mark."

The vehicle just grunted and transformed to reveal the country porcupine underneath.

"Is it really that obvious?" Scatterspike asked.

"Yes... partner," Sunny said sounding unsure.

Scatterspike shrugged, "I need to work on better disguises then. I'm Scatterspike, pleasant to meet ya little ladies."

"Nice to meet you too... partner," Sugarcoat replied, "Country bot I assume?"

"Yep. I'm from the south side of Cybertron. But wait, how come you two know what I am?"

"Cybertronians walk out in the open in this town with no one blinking an eye. This place is pretty much a welcome pad for every Cybertronian species out there. Now who are you?"

"My name's Scatterspike, toughest wrangling scavenger in the south of Cybertron! Now who are you two?" Scatterspike asked.

"My name's Sugarcoat," Sugarcoat replied.

"And I'm Sunny Flare, pleasant to make your accquantaince Scatterspike," Sunny said extending a hand to shake her mitt.

Scatterspike just smiled and she shook hands with the short haired girl.

"Why were you evening hiding?"

"I wanted to test out my new vehicle form. I guess it probably won't hide very well now will it?"

"Maybe not on us, but I'm willing to bet you can fool some of the others around here. Come, walk with us. Lets talk," Sugarcoat tilted her head, urging the porcupine to follow.

Scatterspike reluctantly followed after the two girls. Maybe it wouldn't hurt to follow them for a little bit...

Far off in the middle was Sour Sweet who was walking alone on by her lonesome. This didn't bother her as much, she knew her girlfriend was on her way to the car show. Hopefully it was going to be at any moment that she would finally show up.

A few minutes came by until she heard the sound of large stomping footsteps right behind her. With a smile on her face, she turned around to take a look at the feet. Her smile dwindled away when she realized it wasn't the pair of feet that belonged to the girl she cherished so much.

Looking up, she got a good look at the body in front of her, quickly taking in the curves around the thighs along with the lipstick on her face.

"Hello," Sour said flatly.

Road Rage looked down to Sour and she took a knee down, and raised another knee up so she could take a closer look to the yellow skinned girl.

"Hello... organic," Road Rage said.

Sour glared, "Its human to you honey!"

Road Rage was a little startled by her outburst, "Okay, okay, sorry!"

Sour took a moment to breathe in and out, "No, no... I shouldn't have snapped at you. Sorry... its sort of an anger problem I've got. Didn't mean to take it out on you.... um..."

Road Rage smiled, "Road Rage. Nice to meet you Miss?"

Sour smiled back, "Sour Sweet. Nice to meet you Road Rage."

Sour's eyes squinted as she gazed to the faded insignia on her chest.

"What happened to your Autobot mark?"

Road Rage looked down.

"Oh, that! I... wait... how do you know what this symbol means?"

Sour raised an eyebrow before facepalming, "Did you even see the thousands of Cybertronians walking around town and no one blinking an eye?"

Road Rage paused.

"Yeah..."

"Then I think everyone would already know about that logo. And... wait. The Autobots never shown any signs of you around. Where exactly did you come from?"

Before Road Rage could reply, she was interrupted by the sound of Sour's friends.

"Hey Sour! Who's your new girlfriend?"

Sour sneered as she turned her head, but was taken back shocked when she noticed the other two Cybertronians that were walking with them. And none of them were showing any marks of who's side they were on. And they hadn't attacked either one of the girls.

Sour snarled to the rocker, "This Bot is not my girlfriend..."

"Okay, okay, sheesh! Can you take a joke?" Lemon protested, "But still, is--"

Lemon paused for a second to look at the entire body of Road Rage for a second, taking a look at her form. But as she gazed down to her torso and legs, everyone could hear her holding back snickers as she was staring at.

Sugarcoat lowered her glasses as she glared to Lemon, and then to Road Rage.

"What are you laughing at?"

Lemon held her stomach, "I'm sorry, I'm trying hard, I'm trying hard not to but... that girl looks like she's walking around in her underwear!"

Lemon dropped to the ground and was clutching her sides and laughing like a hyena.

Road Rage sneered down to Lemon Zest and she looked down at her black colored torso that divided the skin between her knees and legs.

"I don't understand, what is underwear?"

Indigo looked closely at Road Rage and she started snickering too.

"Oh my gosh, I see it now!"

Indigo quickly fell to the ground as well and she was laughing her butt off with Lemon as they were in hysterics over Road Rage's body build. Overload and Scatterspike just shook their heads, groaning and cringing.

"Girls... girls? GIRLS!" Sunny yelled.

Indigo and Lemon stopped laughing and they began to calm themselves down from their laughter.

"Sorry, sorry, its just... I mean come on! Tell me you don't see that! Honestly tell me you don't see that this female Cybertronian, looks like she's walking around in the open, in her underwear."

Sugarcoat and Sunny turned around with unamused faces, and Sunny's face turned to disturbed when she stared at her torso. Sugarcoat's expression however didn't change.

"Thanks for that lovely image Lemon. Now I won't drinking the rest of today," Sugarcoat said.

Overload glanced to Scatterspike, "These humans are weird."

Scatterspike just nodded in agreement.

"Okay, okay! Can we all just shut up for a second?" Sour snapped.

Everyone was silent and they all stayed silent to listen to her.

"Okay, so... where exactly did you three come from?"

"Cybertron," Scatterspike replied.

"Well that's a stupid question. Okay, here's my second question, why exactly are you here?"

"I think that information is classified to you fellow humans."

Sour growled, "Do you want us to tell the Autobots you were around... or not? Because they're well aware of your kind being here."

Overload growled back, "I could crush you right here and right now... but... I'm not going to. You're lucky that I have sympathy to organic life forms... However, I should let you know that we aren't here to colonize or terrorize. We just came to collect a bounty that's been placed on a Decepticon fugitive, and that's it."

Sour nodded, "And who's the Con?"

"Someone named... wait. Why should we tell you girls anything? We just met you! In fact...", Road Rage's eyes glowed in anger and she looked to her partners, "Why did we just give away our positions!?"

"Um...", Scatterspike paused.

"They were kind enough to offer me a vehicle mode to scan," Overload shrugged.

Road Rage yelled and stomped her feet, "Son of a glitch! One job! We had one job, and it was to not get caught, and now we've been caught! We can't even walk around without being questioned, and now the Autobots are probably going to be on their way going to hound us!"

The Crystal Prep girls looked at one another with confused looks.

"So let me get this straight... they were on a mission, and they weren't supposed to give themselves away... but because there were Cybertronians walking around without being called out on... now this fembot is freaking out?" Sugarcoat asked.

Lemon groaned and scrunched her head, "This is so confusing..."

"Are they even making any form of sense right now?" Sunny asked.

Sour huffed, "Hopefully when my girlfriend gets here, we can sort this all out. Maybe."

The three above them paused.

"Wait... what do you mean if your girlfriend gets here?" Road Rage asked. "Is your girlfriend some part of some military force that can help us with our mission?"

"Um... not exactly. She's not even like me..."

Lemon grinned, "Can I tell her? Can I tell her? Can I? Can I? Can I?"

"Lemon!" Sunny swatted her shoulder, "No!"

"Is she dating...", Road Rage gasped, "Are you dating a Cybertronian?"

"Um... not exactly. She's a... Guardian."

"Guardian... You mean, a Guardian Gobot?"

Sour hesitantly nodded.

"Oh well, congratulations! That's... a really weird species to have a romantic relationship with, but still, congrats on finding love. Who is she?" Road Rage asked.

"Oh she's--"

At that moment, the girls heard the sound of screeching tires swinging around the road heading towards them.

"Here she is now," Sour grinned.

A red pickup truck came around the corner, creating skidmarks on the road and it raced towards the causal clothed girls with a roaring engine. The engine roared louder and louder as it approached them until the vehicle jumped into the air, ready to begin its conversion.

Gobots!

The back end of the truck formed a pair of legs. Underneath the truck formed a blue chest and torso, with the grill guard sliding over the chest along with the headlights. From the sides, a pair of arms folded out as well with clenching fists. And lastly, a head with a green visor slided out from the top revealing the face of the girl that Sour was in love with.

Mighty Robots! Mighty Vehicles! Gobots!

Smallfoot finally having changed into her alternate form, landed on the ground, slamming the concrete with her big feet. Fists were ready and she stood in a fighting position.

"Uh oh...", Overload said.

Smallfoot glared to the group of three.

"Stop and state your business Decepticons, and leave the girls alone. Step away from them now, and no one gets... hurt..."

Smallfoot's eyes slowly turned to glance at Road Rage, and she stopped talking. Her eyes were wide and her jaw was lowered when she saw the former Autobot in front of her.

The former was shocked as well, carrying the same expression on her face as Smallfoot. But she didn't say a word. She simply took a few steps back, raising her hands up in surrender.

"R-Road Rage... Y-you're here..."

Smallfoot's eyes were starting to fill with a gold liquid as tears formed, and her fists were clenched tightly. Her metal skin was rattling and shaking, making large clattering noises from her.

The same sound came from Road Rage as she felt her body shaking and trembling in fear, sadness, and anger, all cancelling each other out into one single shocked face.

Overload and Scatterspike glanced at the two of them with worried faces.

"This just got awkward...", Overload said.

"Uh... should we just... go?"

Scatterspike gave a nod, and the two of them slowly backed up to stand next to Road Rage who kept walking away from the Guardian Gobot.

"N-No... anyone but you...", Smallfoot croaked.

"Smallfoot? Baby, what's wrong?" Sour asked with concern.

"I... I have to go."

Smallfoot said nothing else but instead turned the other direction running. Then with a jump into the air, her body turned itself back into the truck it disguised and drove away from the scene.

Sour and the others looked to each other with concern and worry. Why did she just run away like that? And out of nowhere?

Sour turned her head and looked up to the fembot.

"Its you, isn't it? You know her, don't you?"

Road Rage looked down and slowly walked away.

"You hurt her, didn't you?" Sour growled.

"Um, Sour?" Lemon asked.

"I think you're jumping to conclusions right now," Sunny interrupted.

"I don't care! When someone makes my girl upset, then they deal with me! Along with several other mechanical beings..."

Overload looked to Road Rage, "Come on, lets go. We don't need to be here anymore, lets just beat it."

Road Rage swallowed and held back more tears, "O-Okay..."

Overload frowned and he patted her back, "Its okay... just calm down..."

Road Rage said nothing else but instead she transformed into her new form, revealing a red sports car. The lights weren't visible, but there was a little bit of golden paint on the hood along with her clawed out Autobot logo. Soon Scatterspike transformed as well, revealing the same orange off-road vehicle she had previously disguised as. Lastly was Overload who revealed his alternate form as a black and blue sports car, with glowing neon stripes, a big engine sticking out from the hood, and a Decepticon mark visible in the grill of the car.

"Come on!"

Road Rage led the group away, while Overload followed behind, and lastly was Scatterspike who let out a yodel as she drove away like a maniac.

"Yee-haw! We're going huntin'!"

As soon as the three cars were gone, the five girls were left to themselves to wonder who they were.

"Who were those guys?" Sunny asked.

"I don't know, but we need to check in with the Autobots about them. We need to know what we're dealing with. Sour?"

Sour looked back to the girls with a nod. "I agree, but... if its all the same to you, I need to find out what just spooked my girlfriend. Okay?"

The four nodded.

"Just go talk to your Gobot, we'll handle things here," Lemon smiled.

"Okay, thanks. I'll catch up with you girls later. Hopefully Smallfoot will be okay..."

Sour Sweet began running out of the parking lot near the edge of the road, avoiding oncoming traffic that was moving down the road. She had to find out where she was and fast. But there was only one place she knew she could have gone...

The Transformers will return after these messages...
