It had been a quiet morning in the Castle of Friendship. There weren't many ponies that visited the library nor were there any serious incidents that had to be taken care of. Twilight had already took care of the harder tasks earlier in the morning and now that she and Spike finally managed to finish the weekly cleaning of the castle, they were free to pursue their own endeavors for today. Twilight was, as per usual, burying her nose in one of her favorite books while sitting comfortably in a crystaline couch she recently purchased for her library. Spike was sitting right next to the purple alicorn, too entertained by a especially exciting issue of the Power Ponies comic series. Twilight put down her book, glancing at the little dragon enthusiastically reading his comic book.

"Isn't that the same issue you read last Tuesday, Spike?" Twilight asked with a hint of curiosity in her voice.

"No way. It's a brand new issue that came out yesterday! The Power Ponies team up with The Spectacular Webbed Colt and face off against the most diabolical villain yet: The terrible and elusive Mysteri-Mare!" Spike replied, flipping over the book to show Twilight. One of the ponies, most likely the Webbed Colt, was draped in a red and blue suit decorated with black markings that resembled spider webs. The Webbed Colt's eyes were completely white, showing no pupils at all. His foe, Mysteri-Mare, was wearing a high-tech green and purple suit of armor while her head was encased in a transparent bowl-like helmet.

"Wow, that's very exciting." Twilight said with a smile.

"You bet, Twilight!" Spike exclaimed excitedly.

"Well, how about we both take a break from reading for a while? We can go eat lunch at the Ponyville Café. And maybe even visit Rarity for a bit?” Twilight suggested. Spike nodded and closed the comic, jumping off the couch and following his big sister out of the library.

It felt like it has been hours since Grimlock was sucked into the vortex. He had no idea where the vortex was taking him. Grimlock aimlessly floated inside the vortex, smacking into the walls several times before noticing he was heading for a bright light at the end of the "tunnel".

"What the?" Grimlock blurted as he shielded his visor with his right servo in a effort to block out the light. In a instant, The light was gone, replaced by blue skies and sunlight. Before he knew it, Grimlock found himself plummeting towards the ground at high speed.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!" The Dinobot screamed, finally smashing into a grassy hill with the force of a torpedo striking a submarine. Grimlock shouted painfully as he tumbled downhill like a tumbleweed. It wasn't long until Grimlock finally smacked into something hard that had halted his rough descent. Grimlock was on his back while lying on the rough, soil-rich ground. However, something didn't feel right to the Cybertronian. The object he crashed into felt sturdy and solid enough to stop him from tumbling but at the same time, it felt like the Dinobot destroyed it with his weight. Just by shuffling his body, he could hear crunching underneath him.

"The hell did I crash into...?" Grimlock mumbled to himself as he stood up. He looked around, immediately realizing what happened: he smashed headlong into a building of sorts. From what he saw, the building exterior was made of some oddly rough material and it was painted red. Grimlock picked up a chunk of the material that while bearing the red color, had remnants of white stripes and what appeared to be the remains of a handle of sorts.

This must have been a door of some kind. Grimlock thought to himself. Wait a minute... If this is a door and this structure is a building, then that means I'm....

"WHAT IN TARNATION?!"

Grimlock was immediately ripped away from his thoughts when he turned his sights to the source of the angered voice: A small orange pony with a blonde mane and a brown hat on top of her head was angrily staring at the metal giant in front of her. Grimlock slowly stood up as he eyed the equine, still baffled at her appearance.

"Where am I?" Grimlock growled.

"You're in mah barn! You just punched a hole in MAH BARN!" The pony angrily yelled.

"You need to calm down, lady. It's not my fault, I fell from the sky!" Grimlock protested, accidentally smacking his head into the roof and breaking a hole in it.

"OW, SON OF A..." Grimlock shouted painfully.

"CAN YA STOP MOVING AROUND, YOU'RE MAKING IT WORSE!!!' The pony yelled.

"SHUT UP ALREADY!" Grimlock yelled back, trying to regain his footing. Instead of regaining his balance, the towering Autobot tripped on a pile of haystacks and fell through the left wall, completely demolishing the left side of the barn. Grimlock yelped as he once again tumbled on the floor, knocking himself into a especially large apple tree. The sheer force of the impact knocked the tree right out of its roots, sending it crashing into the ground with a resounding thud. The bulky red stallion walking out of the house next to the now barely standing barn just stared at Grimlock and the tree with a dumbfounded expression on his face. Grimlock snarled in frustration as he stood up, wiping clouds of dust from his rotator cuffs.

"Look at th' mess you made! Now Ah gotta clean all this up!"

"Don't care. Not my problem."

"Not yer problem?! IT VERY MUCH IS YER PROBLEM, YOU BIG METAL MONSTER!"

"You're calling me a monster now because I accidentally wrecked that pile of junk over there? You should be thanking me, I did you a favor."

The orange mare stomped her hoof angrily into the dirt. How dare that metal.... thing say something so insensitive?! With a angry snort, the orange mare jumped in front of the Dinobot with a scowl on her face. Of course, it didn't phase Grimlock in the slightest. He only chuckled at her scrunched-up face.

"Now, you listen here, ya pesky, loud-mouthed pile of bolts! Ah'm not happy that you think all of this is just one big game and Ah'm definitely not happy that you destroyed my family's barn! So, you need to apologize this instant or else things will get ugly around here!"

Grimlock looked at the orange mare, bursting out in a small bout of laughter.

"HAHAHAH! That's the funniest joke I've heard in a long time! Listen, short-stack, look at me then look at you. You are tiny, and I am giant. You are weak, and I am strong. You are in no place to issue a threat at me, so buzz off." Grimlock said, walking off.

The orange mare growled in annoyance, her patience flying out of the window. She grabbed a decently sized metal bucket and lifted her hind legs, bucking the bucket straight into Grimlock's faceplate with the force of a charging bison.

"AGH!" Grimlock yelped as the bucket smashed into his face hard enough to send him toppling over on his back. The orange mare scoffed at the Dinobot while re-positioning her hat, a smug grin plastered on her face.

"How's that for being "weak", sugarcube?" The mare mockingly retorted. Grimlock growled as he stood up, wiping trails of dirt from his chassis while rubbing his head. He casted a hard glare on the smug mare before walking off in a pout.

Grimlock grumbled to himelf as he shoved past yet another tree. It has only been five minutes and he already hated this planet. If all the inhabitants were as annoying as the orange pony back at the farm, then he would be in a world of trouble. It was now that Grimlock was starting to wish he had listened to Optimus and returned to Autobot HQ to regroup and think of a solid plan to attack Shockwave's citadel. If he had just listened to the Autobot commander, maybe he wouldn't have gotten himself into this mess. As the hulking mech made his way through the forest, he finally stumbled upon the very thing he was looking for: a town. Standing just a few inches from the treeline, Grimlock could make out the small but busy town that was locally known as Ponyville. He watched the townspeople, or more appropriately, "townsponies" walking in and out of the small town as they went about their business.

"Somebody in there has to know how to get off this Primus-forsaken world." Grimlock said to himself as he started walking towards the town.


Author's Note

You guys probably would immediately notice, but The Webbed Colt and Mysteri-Mare are parodies of Spider-Man and Mysterio respectively. Also, I couldn't come up with anything better than Webbed Colt so yeah :/
