A Dinobot in Equestria
Chapter 3
Previous ChapterNext ChapterGrimlock walked into the town, ignoring the fact he knocked over the "Welcome to Ponyville" sign right in front of the entrance. As he made his way into the town, he didn't care about the fact that everyone was gawking at him. A unicorn pushing a cart of cabbages nearly toppled the cart over on himself as he stared at the Dinobot passing by. Ponies walking in the streets quickly jumped away from Grimlock’s peds, staring at the mech with fright. Grimlock looked around the town, watching as ponies around him began running inside several buildings and closing their doors and windows in a effort to hide from his line of sight.
“What is wrong with these things? I haven’t done scrap since I came here.” Grimlock grumbled to himself.
"LOOK OUT!"
All of a sudden, Grimlock could see nothing but cyan fur as a cyan pegasus with a rainbow-colored mane had smacked into his visor. Grimlock backed up, nearly flattening a stand selling apples and other fruits, along with the Earth pony commandeering the stand. Grimlock growled in annoyance as he pulled the pegasus off his visor and tossed her on the floor.
"Watch where you're going, idiot!" Grimlock chided. The pegasus, apparently offended by the insult, growled to herself as she turned around to face the Dinobot.
"Why don't YOU watch where you're standing, you big metal..... Woah..." The pegasus retorted before suddenly stopping to gawk at Grimlock.
"What the heck are you, some kind of... metal monster?" The Pegasus asked, hovering all around a visibly annoyed Grimlock.
"What's with everyone and calling me a monster?! Grrr, get out of my faceplate already!" Grimlock snarled, shoving past the Pegasus. The winged pegasus followed the Cybertronian, floating next to his head.
"So, uh, what's a big ugly metal thing like you doing here anyway?" She asked, looking at Grimlock.
"I'm here to talk with whoever runs this place on behalf of the town of Nunya." Grimlock replied.
"What the heck is "Nunya"?" The pegasus asked.
"Nunya damn business, now get the hell out of my way!" Grimlock growled, shoving past the pegasus. It seemed the winged equine didn't possess the concept of "go away" as she continued following Grimlock around town.
"I can help ya find what you're looking for. I'm Rainbow Dash, the fastest pony alive!"
"That's nice, I don't care."
"Well, you should. 'Cuz I know a princess who can help you out."
Grimlock immediately stopped walking and stood still for a moment before turning to Rainbow.
"You have a what?"
"A princess. Princess Twilight Sparkle, to be exact. Maybe she can help you?" Rainbow suggested. Grimlock narrowed his visor as he just stood still and stared at the cyan Pegasus for what seemed like eternity.
“A princess? You mean like those pathetically weak women that keep getting themselves into trouble and constantly needs somebody to save them?” Grimlock asked.
“Weak? Our princesses aren’t weak!” Rainbow angrily spat.
“Really? Fairy tales say otherwise. I know that if you are a princess, that means you're friends with a bunch of cutesy forest creatures, you're constantly held hostage in some fragging tower, you can't defend yourself from any threat even if your life depended on it, and you need a man to do all the fighting for you. In other words, princesses are weak. Like yours." Grimlock retorted. Rainbow growled as she got in the Dinobot's faceplate, glaring into his visor.
"You got some gall to talk smack about Equestria's leaders!"
"You got gall for getting in my faceplate."
Grimlock and Rainbow glared at each other for a solid seven minutes, standing so still you'd think they were turned to stone by each other's cold stares. Grimlock growled as he pushed Rainbow away and walked off.
"I don't need help from stupid princesses. I can find my way home myself!" Grimlock said in a beyond annoyed tone. Rainbow watched as the hulking Dinobot angrily stormed off. The cyan pegasus grinned smugly, an idea immediately popping into her head.
"Alright, fine. You don't have to talk to any princesses. It's a real shame you won't be able to go back home ever again, though. But I'm sure you'll eventually find Equestria to your liking." Rainbow said. Grimlock stopped walking and turned around again to look at Rainbow.
"What?" Grimlock harshly asked.
"Don't ya get it, bolt-brain? The princesses are your only ticket back to wherever it is you came from. If you don't want their help, then you're stuck in Equestria, pal." Rainbow stated, a grin on her face. Grimlock stared at the cyan pegasus for a few moments before angrily pacing back and forth in a pout of sorts. After a few moments of stomping the ground and throwing out audible swearing, Grimlock finally approached Rainbow while coldly glaring at her.
"Fine, I'll talk to one of your stupid princesses." Grimlock growled.
"Perfect. Follow me!" Rainbow said, leading Grimlock towards the Castle of Friendship.
