The final battle.

3 years ago....

Adam wandered across a field; followed by the biggest clone army ever seen, they marched towards a dark castle mounted on the top of a small hill. Adam held in his prosthetic, robot, right arm; a large knight sword. The blade was made of Cybertronian metal; while the handle was made up of wood and copper. The end of the handle was molded in the shape of a snake's head; to give the sword a bit of a scary look. The captain of the clones stepped towards their leader, "What's are plan of attack sir?" Adam was silent as the captain awaited orders.

"Follow me." Adam muttered as he started walking forward. The clones didn't question him; they just followed Adam towards the enemy fortress.

As the big black castle got closer; some of the men began to shake in fear, but they moved past it and kept marching. Adam knew what was in that castle; he knew that he had to kill it, because if he didn't; Earth would fall to the might of this...thing.

Suddenly; the gates of the castle opened, revealing a lot of black, shadowy figures standing behind the door. Adam's army halted; their leader took a few more steps forward, to get a good look at the enemy. A horn was blown inside the castle; once the horn was silent, the dark army charged.

Hundreds; maybe even thousands ran down the hill, Adam yelled to his gunners. "Insert the energon fuses, charge up the heavy cannons." Adam ordered. The soldiers at the back of the army did as commanded; they inserted the fuses into the fuel tanks of the large gun turrets. The gunners sat down in the seats of the cannons; using the hologram screens in front them, they diverted power to the guns. Adam saw as the enemy got closer; but he had to wait for the right moment.

Just as the dark army was meters away; Adam gave the order, "FIRE!" he cried. The cannons were then blasted large, blue, plasma balls at the incoming enemy. Each cannon fired at least three shells before they ran out of power; the blast were very effective against the enemy, each blast took out ten or more soldiers from the dark army. However; some of them managed to dodge the blasts and continued charging.

Adam held his sword in front of him, "We might as well do something." he said. "Let's get in there!" Adam charged forward; followed by thousands of his troops. With their guns blazing and spikes on the tips of their blasters; the clone army pointed their weapons towards the enemy. Adam was swinging his sword in every direct; he had waited long for this day, he was going to end his enemy's legacy.

As soon as Adam cut down one of the enemy soldiers; the battle began.

Soldiers from both sides clashed together; stabbing, chopping, blasting their way through each other. Adam was lost in all the chaos; he looked all around him and all he saw was his men & the enemy being massacred. The boy took his chance to get some kills; he saw some dark warriors coming for him, he readied his sword and began chopping them down.

One of the warriors made the mistake of attacking first; but Adam dodge him and returned the favor with a strike to the back, the cut was large and the soldier died of blood loss. Another one met his end when Adam swung his sword; taking the warriors head off, sending it flying into the unknown. Finally; the last one leaped through the air and landed on top of Adam, they both wrestled around the floor. Adam got the drop on his and held the enemy close with his sword to his neck; with one quick slit, Adam sliced the warrior's throat. With those three dead; it didn't change the fact that there were still thousands of them killing his men.

The captain of the clones lost his blaster in the carnage; so he pulled out a small army knife and began stabbing at the enemy. He also pulled a pistol from his belt; that took out some of the distant enemies. The captain watched his brothers struck and shot down; as if they were in some kind of messed up butchers.

It him having to kill at least one hundred men; but Adam finally made it inside the castle. Once inside; he was greeted with more enemy soldiers, so he started chopping them down. One by one, they fell by his sword; he swung it in every possible direction. Not knowing that his battle was being watched by a more sinister shadow figure standing up on a platform; the lead figure called of his men. "Men, stand down." Without any questions; the soldiers instantly stopped fighting, they backed away from Adam.

When the courtyard was clear; Adam looked up at the leader, "You know, you are way uglier then when I last saw you." the boy commented. The figure then snapped his fingers and instantly teleported in front of Adam with a flash of light; the figure wasn't like his minions, he was wearing a modern day police inspector outfit and he had a mouth, it was full of sharp fangs. "You shouldn't of fear the night little boy, then I wouldn't be here." the creature muttered.

Adam lifted his sword; readying to fight, but the figure did nothing. "I always wondered." the figure said. "Why did you call me Nightmare." Adam didn't answer, he just held his sword with both hands.

Nightmare's hand the shifted like rubber; his hand then became a large blade. The two warriors charged at each other; swinging their weapons, until finally their blades clashed together. The two of them went into a battle of the ages; this was how a little boy, finally destroyed the monster that haunted his bad dreams. The fight raged throughout the courtyard; they fought with all their might, but Nightmare had the advantage. The creature of Chaos grabbed Adam by the neck; holding his blade shaped hand to the boy's throat. "You should have stayed in pony-land boy!"

Adam couldn't contain his rage; "It's called, Ponyville!" the boy cried. With that cry; Adam swung his sword in front of his face, taking Nightmare's arm off. The Lord of Fear cried in pain; Adam used the oppertunity to make a final strike.

The boy swung his sword one last time; as soon as the blade came into contact with Nightmare, the creature shattered into ash. Adam witnessed the wind blow away what remained of his enemy; he looked outside the castle and saw that Nightmare's entire army did the same. One by one; the shadow warriors turn to ash and were blown away in the coming wind. Adam began to march towards what remained of his army; the captain began to walk toward their commander, "Sir, did we win." the captain asked.

Adam only said one thing to his brave soldiers, "Yes, we won."

The clone army cheered in joy; the men dropped their weapons and raised their hands in the air. Adam soon joined in the cheering; holding his sword up in victory.

==================================================

The march home was a long one; the clones had to carry their heavy guns back to Ponyville, that was where their ships were going to pick them up. The captain kept all the men in line; Adam watched his brave army march past him, he couldn't be more proud of this day.

When one trooper's wagon broke; the wheel rolled down the hill, Adam rushed to the scene of the accident. "Take what you can of the wagon, leave the rest and the wagon here. There's no point trying to move it." The soldiers did as they were ordered and collected as much material of the broken transport.

The march continued on as normal; but a problem was growing, they were running low on food. It wasn't a problem at first; but as the days went on, one by one the soldiers slowly started to perish under the sun. Adam couldn't count how many men he had left; just over five thousand, which was a problem because he had five and a half thousand when their journey started. But when all seemed lost for the heroic army; fate smiled on them that day.....

They had reached Ponyville; they saw a crowd of the ponies waiting at the entrance, standing in the centre was Princess Celestia. Adam stood at the front of his men; he was the first greeted by the princess when the army came to a halt. "Welcome back humans." she greets. Adam bows to the princess and replies, "Thank you you highness, we have good news of the battle." The Princess guided the boy to follow her; but first he turned to his soldiers, "Boys; rest up, the transports will come and get you soon."

===================================================

Celestia and Adam begin to wander through town; she was taking him to meet with some ponies he wanted to see. "Thank you Adam; because of you and your army, my subjects can continue to live in peace and harmony.

As they arrived at the town hall; inside, the ponies were waiting for Adam. It was the Mane 6 and their families; but in the centre of the room, was Screwball and her husband Mothball. When the boy stepped into the room; he and Screwball locked eyes, they both just stood there for a minute.

When the moment was broken; Screwball rushed towards the both and Adam did the same with her. The wrapped their arms around each other and held themselves close; Screwy whispered in Adam's ear, "I got no word from you, I thought you must have died." Adam looked her in the eyes, "Ssh; I here now, all is fine." Mothball then joined them and greeted Adam with a hoove shake; suddenly, Zany jumped into Adam's arms. "I missed you." the five year old explained. Adam simply stroked the foal's mane while he was greeted by the others. Fluttershy and Discord watched their children greet their human friend.

The princess then approached the human once again, "So what is the news of the battle?" Adam put Zany down and explained, "Good news; Nightmare has been destroyed, we emerged victorious." Once the news was heard; all the ponies in the room cheered; Twilight said, "We must celebrate this victory." Everypony agreed with the statement.

Screwball took the moment to tell Adam the news that her and Mothball had. "Adam can we talk to you for a sec?" Screwy asked. Adam would never say no to her; so they took him to the corner whilst everypony else spoke among themselves.

Mothball started the explanation, "Adam; we've got some good news to tell you." Adam thought of what they were going to say; but he didn't want to jump to conclusions. "Adam...... I'm pregnant." Screwball said. Adam's face was in total shock; he was so happy for them, Adam wrapped his arms around both them. Mothball said, "We were hoping; if you survived the battle, if you'd be are baby's godfather." Adam put the couple down and was really shocked now; he replied, "Guys; I would be honored." They then joined the rest of the ponies in the main room; Twilight was about to speak, "I want to thank Adam for defeating the evil in the west." Adam bowed as the ponies clapped their hooves.

===============================================

You might think that the battle is over; however, this fight has only just begun.

The party

Present day...

Adam was back on Earth; carrying on with life as normal.

The boy was doing his job as the wall crawler, "What is it Olessia, I'm picking up a birthday present." he said to his commander on the commlink. The O.S.C director replied; "Adam; one of you old foes is trashing the town centre, you have to stop him." Spiderman simply sighed and then swung his way to the scene.

Upon arrival; the police were trying to hold back the beast shooting acid from his deadly tail, "That's right people, the Scorpion is back." the villain cried. Adam leaped in front of the police; the cops threw him a mega-phone, "Scorpion; how many time have we done this? You need to pack up your little performance and go back to the Raft." he said into the speaker.

Scorpion's claws began to grow from his fingers, "This time; I'm going to tear you apart." the villain then charged towards the hero with anger in his leap. Adam had on chance; he jump into the air and webbed a sewer lid, "Batter up." the boy said as he swung the lid at Scorpion's face. The villain was thrown to the side; but quickly got back up.

With his tail; Scorpion slashed at Adam, trying to sting him. But Spidey was quick and swung around the tail like it was monkey-bars at a play-park. With one final swing, Adam delivered one hard kick to Scorpion's face; knocking him right out.

Spiderman looked down on the beaten criminal; until O.S.C soldiers came. They placed Scorpion in power-damping cuffs, making his strength and speed; useless. "Thanks for the hand, Spiderman." The captain said. Adam replied with, "No problem officer, just doing my job." Before anyone could say anything else, Adam looked at his watch. "Sweet apple cider, I'm late." Spidey wasted no more time, he leaped onto a building and began crawling away. The soldiers just took Scorpion back to prison.

===============================================

Adam had to be fast, he didn't want to miss the party. He contacted Daniel on his communicator, "Danny, I need a Space Bridge to Equestria. Now." he explained. "Send it to these coordinates."

Spidey began swinging as fast as he could; all the while, music started playing.

'Got to do it, got to do it.
Got to beat the clock before the chime.
Got to sort it, got to sort it.
Got to get there in time.'

'I'm like a busy bee, I've got to beat that clock.
I'm gonna get to party, before I finish this song.'

Over the communicator; Adam heard Olessia and Daniel joining in.

'Do we think he's gonna do it?
Will he finish what he has begun?
Will you know how to fix it?
Will you get there before time is done?'

The portal opened just down the street, Adam was seconds away.

'Got to sort it, got to sort it.
Got to beat the clock before the chime.
Got to do it, got to do it.
Got to get there in time.'

'I'm like a busy bee, I've got to beat that clock.
I'm get to the portal before I finish this song.'

With those last words, Adam leaped through the portal and landed outside Screwball and Mothball's house. "And that is how you do that." he stated.

==================================================

Adam knocked on the door after his Nano-tech suit return the emblem on his chest; he put the emblem in his pocket and was now wearing a smart shirt with jeans. When the front door opened; Adam was greeted by the Changeling father, "Mothball, how are yah?" the boy asked. They greeted each other with hoove and hand shake, Mothball replied, "Great, I'm so glad you could make it. I know Identity will be happy to see you." They both went inside and joined the party.

Chaotic and Identity were turning 3 ears old, they didn't really have any friends; so it was just adults that came to their party. You had Fluttershy and Discord, Dinky and Cinnamon Sticks, Screwball and Mothball (obviously), Zany; who was now 8 years & Trixie (Bellatrix); and her daughter Moonbeam.

When the human walked into the room; Screwball was the first to notice him, "Adam." she greeted. She embraced him in a kind hug; then the two trouble makers came. "Uncle Adam." the twins cheered. The boy didn't have time to catch them as they leaped onto of him. "Okay, okay, it's good to see you to." he said. "How are my little god-children?" they two foals cuddled close to the human, Adam couldn't help but be happy at the beautiful site.

They party was pretty fun; Zany played with the twins, while the adults spoke about things. All except Screwball, she was up stairs in her bedroom; looking at old family photos. One by one; she pulled the pictures from the box, they were from her childhood. The pictures started to make the mare cry, she hated the idea that she was growing up so fast. Mothball walked into the room and found his wife crying on the bed.

"Screwy, what's wrong?" he asked while stroking her mane. The pony sat up straight and explained, "Mothy; you know I love our children, but it's all happening so fast. I kind of wish life would slow down." her husband understood; to him, it only felt like yesterday when he saw Screwball playing pirates on he chocolate lake. Mothball turned her face towards his and explained, "It doesn't matter how fast or how slow life goes, what matters is were doing it as a family." Screwball smiled before she locked her lips with Mothball's.

Downstairs; Adam walked outside for some fresh air, he couldn't believe it. All he ever wished for was that Screwball would be happy; and now she has her own family. It's been a long road over the past seven years; the whole thing with Mysterio & the infinity stones, protecting Equestria as Power Rangers, the Infinity War & Endgame crisis and then the Battle of the Nightside. Still; all problems overcome by him and his friends.

=================================================

It was time for everypony to leave; one by one the guests started to leave, until only Adam was left. "Well I'd better head back to Earth." the boy stated. Before the boy opened the door, Mothball turned to him and said, "You could crash on the couch, it's a bit late for you to leave." Adam was thankful for the offer but he couldn't do that to them.

"No Mothy, I couldn't do that to you and Screwy. Not with you little nippers to look after."

Screwball was upstairs, putting the twins to bed. "Good night my darlings." Before she left the room; Chaotic asked, "Can you sing us your lullaby Mommy?" Screwy turned to her son, "Okay, but it'll have to be the short version." The mare then made her music-box appear, she sang almost as beautifully as her mother.

'Please do not cry, my dears.
Your Mommy is so very here.
And if any pony, causes you any harm or fear.
The I will bring them pain.
And drown them all in chocolate rain.'

Identity and Chaotic giggle at that last sentence.

'Cause I..... am your Mommy, Screwball.
And you..... are pieces of me.'

The twins drifted of to sleep, their mother quietly left the room. Screwball went downstairs to find Mothball and Adam talking on the couch. "It's fine Mothball, I'll call Daniel and tell to send me a Space Bridge. I'll be home in time to watch 'My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic." Mothball looked at him confused about the TV show he just mentioned, "What's that about?" Adam simply replied, "I don't know; some television show that some old geezer made based of you mother-in-law's adventures with her friends."

They two boys didn't notice Screwball walk into the room, "What are you two talking about?" Mothball turned to his wife and explained, "I'm offering to let Adam sleep on the couch, because it looks too late to leave." Adam saw there was no point in arguing with couple, so he spent the night at their house. The married pair went to their bedroom and the human passed out on their couch.

For the rest of the night, all was peaceful.

The invasion

Far across the galaxy; was the planet Cybertron, home to the Transformers. The heroic Autobots and the evil Decepticons; these two sides continue to battle in a civil war, a war that has destroyed their home world. The Autobots have made an alliance with Earth; they have been provided refuge on the human world.

Then; the impossible happened, the war ended. The leader of the Decepticons; Megatron, saw the light and embraced it. He now fights along side his brother; Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots. They search the galaxy, hunting for what remains of the Decepticons; ones that didn't follow their leader into the light.

When the O.S.C alliance was formed; the Autobots were given refuge on other worlds, such as Equestria and Pandora. What remained of the Decepticons have taken complete control of Cybertron, now they plan to attack Equestria; to turn it's magic into energon. However; this planet has the a team of Autobots protecting it, but will it be enough?....

"Laserbeak returns Shockwave." Soundwave stated as the metal bird-creature flew into the Decepticon base. Shockwave lift his and the mini-con landed on his wrist, "Welcome Laserbeak." he then glared at Starscream. "Unlike some of my other warriors, you never fail me. Soundwave, play back Laserbeak's findings." Shockwave allowed Laserbeak to fly towards his master, the mini-con re-entered the compartment in Soundwave's chest. "As you command, Shockwave." Soundwave coldly said as he transformed into his radio form.

A wire connected to him and a video monitor began to play the recording. The record was of Optimus giving orders the Autobots in a control room, "I want Cliffjumper and Sideswipe to go with the Dinobots, they're heading to Equestria to pick up supplies for the clones." Optimus then looked at the computer screen. "All we need is a little energon, and a lot of luck."

Shockwave looked a the recording, "More than you imagine, Optimus Prime." he muttered. The new leader of the Decepticons turned to his minions, "My brothers; we will show Megatron how much we don't need him. We will destroy the planet Equestria and take it's power for the Decepticon cause." The Decepticons looked at him with concerned looks; Starscream stepped forward and said, "Are you kidding Shockwave; we have barely enough energon to get us there. What will we face when we land?"

Shockwave already had a plan; he ordered the armies to launch the dropships, he and the commander Decepticons boarded the leading ship. "Set a course for Equestria." The ships all flew into space; they activated the hyper-drives and shot off into space, the ponies have no idea what's coming.

================================================

A Autobot shuttle was on a direct course for Equestria; Grimlock was in the command chair, the Dinobots were flying the ship. Cliffjumper and Sideswipe were in the engine room, their energon levels were low. The scanners picked up a incoming ship on the port side, "Slug, contact that ship, see who they are." Grimlock ordered.

Slug opened the communications channel; however, no one responded. "Grimlock, scanners say this incoming ship is activating it's weapon system." With that warning, the incoming ship[ opened fire, blowing a hole in the side of the Autobot ship. Once they had an opening, Decepticons boarded.

"Die Autobots!" Starscream shouted, him and seekers blasted the Autobots in the hall ways. They tried to fight back but, they were all shot down. The Decepticons battled their way to the bridge, some made their way to the engine deck. Shockwave followed Starscream to the bridge, Soundwave led the attack on the engine.

Grimlock and the Dinobots tried to hold the door, Swoop was still trying to fly the ship. But it was to late, the door was blasted open, the Decepticons had taken the bridge. "Decepticons, fly this ship to Equestria. We will use the ship to slip by the defenses and use the energy from their magic to destroy the Autobots forever." Shockwave commanded. That's exactly what the 'Cons did, the ship flew towards the planet, with danger written all over it.

==================================================

Later that day, Adam awoke from his sleep, he was still Screwball's couch. He awoke to the sound of explosions outside, the boy ran out the door to see what was happening. The Decepticons were invading Ponyville, the Autobot defenses tried to hold back the attack; but it was too much for them.

Adam tried to radio for help, but his communicator was jammed. "Olessia, come in! Olessia! Nothing." He turned back to the house. He ran inside to wake up the family, they already heard the explosions.

Screwball was grabbing the kids and Mothball ran into Adam, "We've got to go, now!2 Adam commanded. They did as they were told and left the house, Adam led them towards the Castle of Chaos. While the family started running, Adam turned back to the invading ships. The boy muttered, "This is gonna be a tricky one."

Battle of Ponyville: Part 1

One of Equestria's most famous town was under attack, Decepticon Seekers flew through the sky, blasting everything in site. The ponies of the Ponyville were running for their lives, some brave stallions were running to the town's ground defenses, others ran to the protection shelters.

The Autobots stationed on the planet had seen the invasion; Heatwave, the stations leader, began giving orders to the other Autobots.

"Boulder, take Chase and Blades. You must help the ponies defend their home. Blaster, radio Prime for reinforcements." All the Bots did as their leader instructed.

Boulder, Blades and Chase transformed into their vehicle modes and sped off to Ponyville, Blaster converted to his boom-box mode and began radioing for help. Heatwave turned to the last Autobot in the room, and motioned them to follow him the two of them ran for the castle of chaos.

==================================================

Within the castle walls, Discord, Fluttershy and Zany were all heading down to the basement; they use it for a bunker during invasions. However, once Discord saw his wife and child enter the bunker, he sealed it shut.

"Discord, what are you doing?" Fluttershy demanded to know.

Discord replied, "The Autobots will be coming here, I need to get this place ready." Fluttershy understood what he meant, so she took her son deeper into the bunker.

Not far away; Adam, Screwball, Mothball and their children were running through the forest. Mothball had the twins on his back, Screwy held Adam hand as they ran. But they were cut off when two seekers landed in front of them, the transformed into their robot modes and pointed the assault rifles at them.

"Look what we have here, Auto-brats." One seeker said.

"Thundercracker, lets just kill them and be done with it." Skywarp insisted.

But Adam was not going to let his family die at the hands of these two half-heads, he pulled out his morpher, the one he used during the galactic war.

"You messed with the wrong planet." Adam activated his morpher and said the words, "O.S.C, Emergency!"

Now morphed, the ranger used his blaster to blow the Decepticons away. Thundercracker was shot in the chest, it almost killed him, while Skywarp was blown towards the trees; he rubbed is head and muttered, "Blasted human, why can't they just stay out of our way?"

With the cons out the way, the family continued down the path, towards the castle.

===============================================

Within Ponyville, the battle had already begun. Decepticon, Snow-Cat, was blasting the stallions with his freeze ray; the cold ray stopped them in their tracks.

Boulder was blasting the enemy with his X18 Scrapmaker, he was able to gun down more than a hundred Decepticon troops. Blades was in the air, shooting missiles in his helicopter form; the seekers were fast, faster than him anyway. Chase's Path Blaster was his best friend out in the field, he could shoot from a far and always hit his target; unless the enemy shot back at him.

Snow-Cat came face to face with Boulder, the two Cybertronian brutes charged at each other, clashing upon impact. Boulder's hand transformed into a large war-hammer, Snow-Cat pulled a large axe from his back; the blade was made from ice and strong metal.

Their battle were decide which side takes the victory for this battle, so they fought to the finish.

================================================

Heatwave and the other Autobot arrived at the castle, Discord stood outside the front door waiting for them. Heatwave explained, "The Decepticons have attempted to take the town, we must stop them." Discord nodded and led them inside.

"Discord, you and my friend; Arcee here, transform the castle. But in doing so, the shield would have to come down." Heatwave stated.

Arcee replied, "We all knew the risk when we signed up to joined the Autobots, Heatwave. We have to use the castle's artillery to repel this Decepticon attack."

The Autobots and the draconequus ran for the control room that had been installed in the castle years ago, they deactivated he shield and the castle began to transform. The main tower changed into a large Cybertronian cannon, the smaller towers spawn machine gun stands.

Heatwave sat in the control chair, he took aim with the large cannon. With only a few shots, the dropships were shot out of the sky. Arcee and Discord manned the machine guns on the outer towers, they rapidly fired at any seeker coming close.

=================================================

Adam continued to lead the family to the castle, the saw it had changed into it's battle mode. The Green Ranger led them inside, he continued to fire at any incoming enemy.

Adam ordered, "Get into the bunker, I'm going out to battle." However, the children weren't going to let their godfather go, Identity ran up to the ranger and hugged his leg.

"Don't go, Uncle Adam." the filly said.

Adam lowered himself to her level and hugged her tight, "Don't cry, little filly. Just know one thing, I'm coming back." he handed his god-daughter to her mother, then ran out to the battle in Ponyville.

As he ran, he could only think of one thing, 'I'm going to see them again'.

So Adam made it to Ponyville, he blasted every Decepticon in sight. Chase noticed the human and motioned him to take cover next to him, Chase muttered, "Is the family safe?"

"Yeah, I got them to the bunker. They're safe."

"Excellent, let's finish this battle and get this scum off this planet." Chase stated. Adam agreed, so they both started firing at the enemy.
