Hey everyone! Soundblaster’s new human form was done by OPTIMUSPRIMEG1, so if anyone wants art, go ask him.


Entry seven: New Horizons

We soon arrive on the other side of the mirror portal and I am temporarily blinded by the sun. “Are we there?” I ask before my eyes adjust to see human versions of the ponies I have met so far.

Applejack wore a white and green shirt with a brown belt that had a red Apple belt buckle, and a jeans skirt with brown boots with apples on them. Rainbow Dash wore a white shirt with her pony counterpart’s cutie mark of a cloud with a lightning red, yellow and blue bolt coming out of it, a blue jacket with a pink and white skirt. Rarity wore a light blue shirt with a purple skirt that had three diamonds on one side. Pinkie Pie wore a white shirt with a heart on the chest, a blue short jacket, and a pink skirt with three balloons on it. Fluttershy wore a light pink shirt with a green skirt with butterflies on it. And the new person, Sunset Shimmer had yellow and red hair, yellow skin, and light green eyes. She also wore a light green shirt, short leather jacket, and jeans.

“Who the heck are you?” This Rainbow said.

“I am Megatron, this is Soundwave, and Soundblaster.” I said introducing myself and my two comrades then I looked over and see twilight on the ground looking dizzy so I helped her up. I then look around not seeing Soundblaster. “Where the hell is that guy now?”

Just then, something black and silver shot out of the mirror like a rocket and skidded to a stop, sparks flying everywhere. “Anyone get the number of that train?” Asked Soundblaster.

I rub my eyes. “That is Soundblaster.” I said to the humans. “You called princess Twilight for help, correct?”

“Is this about the sirens?” Asked Soundblaster as soon as the dust cleared. But when I looked at him, I was surprised to see how he looked now.

He looked like the human version of bulk biceps, only his eyes were green and he had very long white hair tied up in a ponytail. He was wearing a black and silver long-sleeved t-shirt with his mercenary symbol on it, silver and black pants, and weird looking shoes.

“Um sirens?” Sunset asked.

“Yes, through my past research the girls that you described sound just like sirens that I read about years ago.” Twilight said.

“My research tells me that Starswirl the bearded and a few others opened a portal to another world and sent the sirens through. Current evidence suggests that the portal they were cast through sent the sirens here. Meaning Starswirl and the others who sent them were fools for not considering another world being on the other side of the portal.” Soundblaster explained.

“Really? You know about Starswirl?” Twilight asked Soundblaster, I elbowed him.

“I believe he has been traveling a long time, perhaps he came across your world a long time ago.” I told her.

“That is correct, I’ve actually been in equestria and other places around it for millennia.” Soundblaster said, helping in my attempt to explain things.

“I see.” Twilight said.

“Wait, millennia? Are these two alicorns?” Sunset asked.

“No we aren’t, what we are is complicated. I will let Twilight handle the situation here but if you need our help simply let us know. There is something that I wish to do while I'm here.” I told them and start to walk away from the school.

“They’re onto us!” Exclaimed Soundblaster. He took sand from his pocket and tossed it at the girls as he yelled. “POCKET SAND!” Then he tossed a smoke bomb to the ground as he said “Smoke bomb!” Once the smoke dissipated, he was gone.

I facepalm and sigh. “Soundwave, now that we are alone I have a mission for you. I want you to find a military base and scout it out for me, I want to know what this world’s military is like.”

Soundwave nods and puts his headphones on before walking away. I then cross my arms. “I assume you are still here SB?” I said to the open air.

“SB? Is that supposed to be a nickname?” He asked as he dropped down out of nowhere.

“It's faster than saying Soundblaster.” I said with a shrug. “Now, if you want to help the girls you can, I plan on waiting till they need my help.”

“Ok, Buzzsaw, Ratbat eject!” He said then his chest opened and his minicons flew out. Buzzsaw turned into a guitar and Ratbat turned into a keytar. He caught them both and had a surprised look. “I didn’t know they could do that.” He told me.

I look at them. “Could be because they passed through the mirror portal.”

“Hmm, anyway, Buzzsaw I need you to assist Soundwave, once you finish the job, come back to me.” He said, then Buzzsaw transformed and flew off.

I rub my chin. “I wonder if the Sirens can be redeemed? I mean they kind of helped Sunset later on, although it was indirectly.”

“If they can’t be redeemed, I’m going to curse them and put them into a fishbowl, if that’s ok with you.” He said.

I rub my chin thinking about it then shrug. “Sure, why not. I doubt the decepticons would take kindly to me bringing them aboard my ship.”

“Hey, how would you feel about being reformatted to look more like g1 Megatron?” Soundblaster asked.

I frown at Soundblaster. “No, not just no but hell no. It will be hard enough keeping my Decepticons in line when I don't act like their Megatron but if I look like a completely different bot, none of them will follow me!”

“You won’t look too different, besides, just bash Starscream around and they’ll know it’s you. Vehicons are dumb, they aren’t going to care.” He said.

I rub my eyes. “If I had wanted to be G1 Megatron I would've dressed up as him. I chose to dress up as Prime Megatron because he's my favorite character.” I shake my head. “Let’s just move on and do something. I'm feeling antsy not doing anything but talking.”

“Here, look at this and if you think it sucks just say so.” He said, then showed me an image.

I sigh and look at the image before shaking my head. “I admit it looks cool but I want to stay the way I am.” I told him then start to walk away, heading for the football field.

“Do you even know how to transform?” He asked.

I sigh and look down. “No I don’t, this is still my first day of being a transformer.” I till him with gritted teeth.

“Oh shit! We need to fix that right now. Come on, let's find a good place for you to practice.” He said.

I sigh and nod my head. “Yeah that's probably a good idea, let's head off out of town though.” I turn to head to the streets.

SB grabbed my hand and pulled me into an alley then opened a ground bridge. “Let’s try somewhere where there won’t be any prying eyes.” He said then walked through.

I blink, surprised he could still do that in human form but walk through. When I step through I look around to see where we are. “Welcome to pluto!” He said. My eyes widened and I gasped for breath as I felt myself start to freeze.

“Oh right, you need air, hold on.” He said then clapped his hands twice and air began filling my lungs. “That better?” He asked.

I gasp and use this time to focus on my Megatron form and in a flash I am back to being a Cybertronian. “Asshole! You knew I was human and brought me to a planet where there is no oxygen and so cold that I was freezing solid!?” I yelled at him as I stood back up.

“I should probably look into that, note to self: make sure to allow breathing in a vacuum.” He said, then changed to his robot form. “Woah, wait, that wasn’t the crystal’s magic. That was a new human mode! Excellent!” He said as a diagram of his human form showed on his visor.

I frown at him clenching my fists. “Can we move on?”

“Oh, right. First things first, I need you to concentrate.” He told me.

I roll my eyes. “I guessed that much, just tell me step by step instructions on how to transform.”

“Ok. Start by concentrating like I said earlier.” He told me.

I sigh and close my eyes frowning. “There, what next?”

“Empty your mind and concentrate on one word, Transform.” He said.

I grumble but do my best to empty my mind and focus on the word transform. I do this for a while before I feel something move inside me, then I instinctively jump into the air before I shift around transforming into an alien jet. However I forget to activate the engines and fall to the ground.

Soundblaster catches me then gently places me on the ground. “Ok, now let’s try this again.” He said, then transformed into a modified Nighthawk. His engines roared to life as he hovered near me.

I first get used to my senses as a jet and notice I can ‘see’ in every direction. ‘Freaky.’ I thought to myself before focusing on my robot form, and after a few minutes I transformed again.

“Ok, so you can transform, but can you fly?” He asked as he took off and began flying around.

I frown at him and get ready as I jump into the air I transform and just before I hit the ground I fire my engines and shoot off. “whoa!”

“Ok, now try to follow my lead.” He said as he began flying a few feet in front of me. “Try to match my movements, if you can know how to fly then I can teach you to dogfight.” He told me..”

I follow him doing pretty good at controlling my speed. “Alright now let’s try something a bit more complex.” He said. Then he cut his engines and then he blasted off towards the sky and began doing multiple air tricks. I followed his example and did the same tricks as him.

“Ok, let’s see if you can freestyle.” He said as he transformed and zipped behind me and transformed again and began flying behind me. “Show me what you can do!” He said.

I did a few loops and barrel rolls and copied the transformation trick that he did and did a few other tricks.

“Pretty good, but let’s see what you can do under fire!” He said as he started launching missiles at me.

‘That asshole!’ I think before moving out of the way of his missiles, rolling to the left and right. I transform and fall back onto him and place my blaster on his cockpit. “Do that again and I'll turn you to scrap!”

“There’s the Megatron I wanted to see!” He said, then he stopped abruptly in the air, sending my flying. “Unfortunately, you don’t know how to fire that thing, so if you want to turn me to scrap you’ll have to do a lot better than that.” He said.

I transform upside down and fire my cannon hitting one of his wings. “You were saying!?”

He transformed and shot towards me and crashed into me, sending us both to the ground with a loud thud. “Let’s see if you can hold up in a fight.” He said as he jumped to his feet and put up his fists.

3rd POV

Megatron transformed and stood up glaring at Soundblaster, his eyes glowing purple as he grabbed the sword off his back. “I will show you!”

“Oh so you want to have a sword fight huh?” Said Soundblaster as he opened his chest and pulled out a sword of his own. And the sword he pulled out was the Star Saber.

Megatron’s eyes glowed before he runs at Soundblaster and their swords clash sending waves of blue and Dark Energon around them.

Soundblaster transformed his left arm into a concussion cannon and began firing on Megatron. “You can’t rely solely on your sword, the best way to win a battle is by using your head.” He said, then pulled out another Star Saber and began spinning both swords.

Soundblaster began using his swords to push Megatron back. Megatron blocks the swords but is pushed back from the strikes. “Rrraahh!” Megatron sends a Dark Energon wave then fires his arm cannon at Soundblaster.

Soundblaster puts away the swords and holds up his arms. “Wax on! wax off!” He said as he deflects the wave and the blasts as if he were Wonder Woman. Megatron jumps into the air and transforms into a jet before flying right into Soundblaster, pushing him into an ice boulder.

Soundblaster recovered and threw Megatron away. Then he raised his right arm, then from his forearm came a purple fusion cannon exactly like Megatron's, then two more came out and joined with the first. Then the fusion cannons began rotating together like a minigun’s barrels, and they began firing multiple shots at Megatron.

Megatron transforms and uses his Dark Star Saber to block or deflect the blasts. Once he lands on the ground he runs at Soundblaster ready to punch him with all of the momentum he built up.

However he doesn’t even get 20 feet from him before panels in Soundblaster’s shoulders open up and unleashes a devastating sonic blast knocking Megatron back and sending him flying. Megatron lands far away and Soundblaster opens a Ground Bridge and ends up next to Megatron.

Soundblaster aims the Tri-fusion Cannons at Megatron’s face then the cannons go back into his forearm and he holds out his hand. “I think that’s enough for today.” Said Soundblaster.

Megatron looks up at Soundblaster with his glowing purple eyes filled with anger. He then closes them and breathes a few times before he opens them showing they are red again. “Alright, and as ...wacky as you are, you pack a punch.” He takes Soundblaster’s hand.

“Believe me, I was holding back, I almost went Super Saiyan, literally.” Said Soundblaster as he helped him up.

Megatron raises an eyebrow. “Just how many franchises are you fused with?”

“Let’s see, I’m a vampire, a Black Lantern, Thanagarian, Atlantean, Saiyan, little bit of Joker, Cybertronian, and…. oh! I also have a custom Iron Man/Punisher suit, and I can’t forget I have a Yamato class battleship, and an Obsidian Fury Jaeger. Am I forgetting anything?…. Oh, I’m also an assassin like in Assassin's Creed and I’m also a pirate…. Oh! And I’m a Pokemon Trainer. Not to mention that I have dark chaos magic but you got that from the Token already.” He explained as his visor made a visual list of everything. “So yeah I’m basically a super genius and a God.” He said as he finally finished.

Megatron just stared at Soundblaster for a whole minute before he sighs. “Damn, and here I am just a Megatron with some Dark Energon running through my veins...or is it circuits? The Cybertronian terminologies always messes with me.”

“I find it confusing too! In one series they’re literally machines and in another they’re living metal aliens, then in beast machines they’re techno organic! It’s so confusing!” He agreed.

“I think it really depends on which series you are looking at, because in some cases they're completely different timelines, for example G1 and the beast series are in the same timeline, however Prime the second Robots In Disguise and Rescue Bots are part of the same timeline.” Megatron said.

“I already knew that, I came from Griffin Rock. I’m living there, mostly waiting for the right time to show myself. Anyway, let’s get out of here and join the girls.” He said, then opened a Space Bridge.

“Right, I hope this space bridge leads to somewhere where we can change from robot to human without anyone spotting us.” Megatron said before walking through.

“Just concentrate on being human and you’ll turn human.” Said Soundblaster as he changed into his human form and joined Megtron. Then the portal closed. A few seconds went by then the portal opened again and Soundblaster came out. “Number one rule! Leave the place exactly as you found it!” He said, then snapped his fingers and everything went back to how it was like before they arrived. “There we go!” He said as he walked back into the portal.

Megatrion’s POV

I stepped out of the Space Bridge and looked around before changing to my human form. “Good no one is around. I wonder if we still have a form of communication while in human form.” I then start to feel around in my pockets.

“You mean like a cell phone?” SB deadpanned as he pulled his Token out from my back pocket and handed it to me.

I roll my eyes and take it. “Oh sure, and you just happen to have my Soundwave’s number on it?” I ask sarcastically.

“Check the contacts.” He said as he took his out and began tapping away. “It’s enchanted so everyone you know is put onto the phone, if they have a phone, their numbers will be in the contacts along with their names.” He said as he sent me a text.

The text had a smirk emoji and a brain emoji.

“Like I said before, I’m a super genius, possibly even hyper-intelligent.” He said with a smirk.

“Right, well thankfully that works for me. Texting shouldn't go against Soundwave’s vowel of silence.” I said before looking for Soundwave in the contacts, once I found him I texted him, asking if he found a military base yet.

“Let’s go find the girls.” Then SB’s stomach growled. “And something to eat.” He said.

I blink and put a hand to my stomach. “We can eat in these forms?” I ask him as I follow him back to the school.

“Of course! Why wouldn’t I have that as a feature? Food is good!” He said. “Also if we don’t eat we could eventually die from starvation.” He said. “And before you ask, yes, you can have sex too.” He said as he began walking off.

I blush lightly before shaking my head. “I wasn’t going to ask that!” I rub my face. “Ok, seeing how you have experience going from organic to Cybertronian, maybe you can answer a few questions. For example, do Cybertronians naturally sleep or eat some sort of Cybertronian food, or do they run on just energon?”

“I do sleep, and in beast wars they slept. Although I don’t know everything about the franchise, I’ve just watched a lot of it. And I think it’s possible to make some kind of Energon based food, although that usually calls for a mouth, so some might not be able to try it.” He explained as we walked.

“I see, I suppose I will have to ask Shockwave.” I said, then I felt the phone vibrate. I check it and see a message from Soundwave.

The message said, “Yes, found base, nearby, hacked in, low defences, found something unexpected.” then send a short video clip of three familiar human children. There were two boys and a girl, the first boy was short wearing a yellow vest, and had red hair and classes. The second boy was tall, had black hair, a black long sleeve shirt, with a gray t-shirt over that. The girl was a bit shorter than the second boy but still tall and skinny. She had on two shirts, one pink and the other dark blue with a robot on it. She also had on a large yellow belt around her shorts, while having long striped socks and knee high boots.

“Well well well, it seems some elements from my show have ended up in this world.” I said, then showed Soundblaster the clip.

“Don’t do anything stupid dude, information is power, you need to use it wisely, so don’t start something you can’t finish.” he said.

I look at him with a raised eyebrow. “What is it you think I'm going to do to them? I may look like Megatron but I'm not him. I plan to set up a bit of surveillance in this world, while offering them a path to a more peaceful world... for now. Then leave them in the care of the ponies.”

“No world domination.” He said, pointing a finger at me. “If you try anything I will come at you like a psycho killer!” He said, then began singing the song.

Once his song was done, he gave me a look that shook me to my core. “I like that song.” He said, then continued. “Hey, any idea where we need to meet the girls?” He asked.

I shiver and then look away from him. “First off like I said I'm not Megatron secondly let's try the cafeteria. If they aren't there then we will check this world's Sugar Cube Corner or whatever they call it.” I start walking to the school then stop. “Will we even be allowed in the school considering the two of us look like adults?”

“Well you look like an adult, I look like a teenage Adonis. Look at these pectoral muscles!” He said as he did a peck pump like Dwayne Johnson. “Anyway, let’s call them on their cell’s.” He told me.

“Right, who knows maybe they are out of school and we won’t have to deal with the staff.” I said, then checked the phone and frown. “Wait, the only one that I actually spoke to was Sunset, and Twilight, and Twilight doesn’t have a phone so it would be odd that I know Sunset’s number.” I stare at the phone for a bit before shrugging and calling her.

“Just tell her I did it. Tell her I hacked her phone or something.” He said.

I chuckle and roll my eyes. “Oh yeah? The ladies must love you, mister stalker vibes.” I told him before Sunset answered the phone. “Sunset, this is Twilight’s friend, Soundblaster got your number somehow, where are you girls?”

“Actually I have a harem, so yes I am good with the ladies.” He said.

I roll my eyes before Sunset reponds. “Oh Megatron right? Uh we are actually at Pinkie's house. We are trying to come up with a plan to deal with the sirens.”

I hum and rub my chin. “I see, well how about I send Soundblaster over to you girls, while me and Soundwave do some recon and try to find where the sirens live.”

“Been there done that, sending you location now.” He said. Then I got a text and SB left.

“Well, it seems Soundblaster liked that idea, just be careful around him.” I told Sunset then hung up. “Alright now for some back up.” I text Soundwave the address and tell him to meet me there, then I head that way myself.

After a while I make it to the location and see a large and fancy hotel. “Hmm they must be using their magic to stay here free.” I look around before I spot Soundwave and walk over to him. “Hey, how long have you been here?”

He didn’t respond and just looked at me. “Right vow of silence.” I said to myself and rub my chin. “Well, right now I have an important mission for you, I'm assuming by your name and the fact that you're a surveillance expert that you're very good with sound. I need you to find three girls in this hotel who have red gems around their neck, whenever they sing I need you to filter out the magic of that frequency and find a way to counteract it, but make sure that you don't fall under their spell. Do you think you can do that?”

He nodded and just continued to stand there silently. “Alright, I will make a distraction allowing you to slip into the rooms part of the hotel and you can look for them.” I told him then smirk. “Oh and I have faith in your abilities to not fall under their control, prove to me that you are the superior Soundwave.”

He nodded and did as he was told. I head into the lobby of the hotel and slam my fist on the desk. “Hey! I came here last week and was ripped off by your hotel. Are you telling me that you don't give veterans discounts!?” I yell at the poor lobby employee who looks shocked and a bit terrified.

During the commotion Soundwave silently does what he was told, slipped past us and went to do his job. I continue to yell and make a scene making sure that all the attention is on me until eventually after about thirty minutes I see him slip back out and leave the lobby. “Wait, is this the Golden Horseshoe? Oh my mistake I said the Silver Horseshoe. I am so sorry.” I told the hotel employees before leaving them confused and frustrated.

I find Soundwave waiting for me around the corner. “That was fast, did you get what you needed?”

He nodded. “Good, now that we have what we need from them, you and I will be safe from their influence. Now we can move on to the real reason we came here. I'm getting myself a second vehicle form.” I said grinning. “And after that will go find those kids and bring them back with us to Equestria.”

He nodded. “Hmm do you think you could program some kind program to keep an eye on this world for any Cybertronian life that may show up?” I ask him as the two of us head off to the military base that he found.

“Too late, Cybertronians have visited in the past and have been captured, dismantled, and stored in Area 51 and other facilities..” He said with a text.

I frown and close my eyes. “Do you know if they are somehow still alive, and are they Autobot or Deceptacon?” I ask him.

“Unclear.” Was all his next text said.

I sigh and cross my arms. “Damn, alright we are going to find out and if they are alive we will save them. We may be Decepticons but even if they're an Autobot we're all Cybertronians.” I then call Soundblaster.

“YOU RANG?!” He yelled, showing up behind me, nearly giving me a heart attack.

I pat my chest and stare at him. “Holy shit! Don’t fucking do that!” Once I calm down and shake my head. “I called you here because we are going on either a rescue mission or recovery mission. It seems we are the first Transformers to be on this planet. Area 51 has at most a prisoner or at least a body.”

“Ok, But can it wait till tomorrow? The girls were going to show me how to braid my hair.” He said.

I give him a flat look. “You can either help or not but we're doing this. I don't know if that's an Autobot or Decepticon but either way I'm going to rescue them if they're alive.”

“Ok.” He said.

Soundwave places a hand on my shoulder and shows me his phone. “Maybe it's best to wait and make a plan.”

I sigh and cross my arms. “Fine, we will wait.”

“Let’s go meet up with the girls.” Said SB.

“Fine.” I said with a sigh before heading to Pinkie’s house.

Later At Pinkie’s

I look around at the room we are in. “I am surprised your parents don’t care that we are here.” I said to Pinkie.

“I’m surprised they let me bring this in here.” SB said, putting down a coffin.

I raise an eyebrow. “Why did you bring that in here anyway?” I ask him while the girls are gossiping.

“Two reasons, I’m a vampire, and it’s comfortable.” He said. Then he went into a closet and came out wearing Doctor Who Dalek pajamas.

“I see, so have they come up with a plan for the sirens yet?” I ask him.

“Yes, but the practice tomorrow will sound terrible, by comparison, it’ll make cats sound like they have the voices of angels.” He said then opened his coffin.

“Well thankfully Soundwave has already got a counter ready for them if they try to control us.” I told him then yawn.

“You might wanna check that he isn’t whammied, better to check before shit hits the fan.” He said. “Oh! And everyone, I think I should warn you, I tend to sleepwalk or talk in my sleep, it’s one or the other, whatever you do don’t wake me up cuz… well, just don’t wake me up.” He told everyone. He got in his coffin and got comfortable and closed the lid.

I blink then shake my head. “And how exactly do I check that?” I said to myself before laying down by the door. “I am going to bed, I have a busy day tomorrow.”

Later that night

I am woken up when someone steps on my stomach. “Gah!” I grunt and look around, then I see SB sleepwalking through the door. I groan and facepalm. “Damn it, I better keep an eye on him.” I get up and follow him without getting in his way or walking him up.

He walked down into the kitchen and bumped into Maud, and when he backed up he wobbled a bit then brought Maud in for a kiss, after one whole minute he ended the kiss and smacked Maud’s ass, making her blush. Then he walked towards the front door and put his shoes on.

I rub my face before looking at Maud. “Sorry about him, he sleepwalks.” I then ran after him.

As soon as he was outside he walked to the edge of the sidewalk and stopped. I raised an eyebrow and stopped behind him. ‘What is he gonna do next?’ I think to myself.

He walks into the street and turns to his left, then all of a sudden he shoots off in that direction like a rocket on steroids.“Damn it.” I ran after him trying to keep up. I look around seeing if anyone is outside in case I need to transform. Thankfully it seems like everyone is asleep because there's no one out on the streets and I don't see any open windows so if I have to transform no one will spot me.

I decided to get a head start and transform into my robot form then I transformed into my jet mode and followed the still human Soundblaster. The way he was running was as if he was roller skating. ‘Well that explains why his shoes looked weird, they’re Shadow the hedgehog’s air shoes, no wonder he’s going this fast!’ I think to myself.

I continue to follow him down the street till he makes a right turn and I stay close on his tail.

Later

It was a while later before he stopped, and when he did he was 50 feet away from Area 51. I transform into robot mode, then human form landing near him. “Why is he here? And how did he even know where it is?”

He began walking towards the facility and made it all the way to the gate before the guards noticed him and aimed their guns at him. “Oh this is not good.” I get ready to transform and help him.

I run up and get in front of him. “Hold your fire, he’s a sleepwalker! He has no idea where he is or what he’s doing.” I explained. Sb walked around me and walked up to one of the guards and began feeling the guy’s face.

“Hi mister fluffy bear! Did you finish your pudding?” Said SB as he continued to feel the guy’s face.

I groan and sigh. “I am very sorry.” I told the guard.

Then SB snapped the guards neck then thrust his other hand towards the other guard and the guard exploded. He took the keys from the guard whom he’d snapped the neck of and put on the guy’s uniform and took his weapons.

I gape at this and take a step back. “What the hell?”

He opened the gate and continued walking, and I followed close behind him. Eventually he made it to a large elevator with a keypad and fingerprint scanner. He didn’t even bother punching in a code, instead he just thrust his fingers into the keypad and I saw him send a bolt of electricity into it.

The elevator began taking us down and when we made it to the lowest level, the doors opened and a whole bunch of guns were immediately pointed at us. “Um, would you believe he is sleepwalking and I am just making sure he doesn’t hurt himself?” I ask them with a smile. No sooner had those words left my mouth than they began firing at us, but not one bullet came even close to us.

Once they stopped firing, SB walked out of the elevator and then jumped towards an alien spacecraft and took a few parts from it then began taking parts from each ship as multiple soldiers fired on him.

Then SB began building something with the parts, he continued jumping from the spaceships to the thing he was making, like he was a master builder from the lego movie. He continued doing this until his thing was finished, and once he was, he stood behind it as the soldiers continued firing on him. I looked at what he built, and it looked familiar.

“Oh my god, he built a Dalek!” I said. Then the soldiers ran out of ammunition.

“What the hell is a dalek?” One of the soldiers asked.

And of course now was the time for Soundblaster to wake up. “Aaaah! Where am I!?” He screamed.

I decided to skip right to the point. “Area 51, about to be killed by soldiers because you sleep walked right into their base!” I yelled before jumping behind a ship as one of them fired a handgun at me.

“Oh that’s just great!” He said. “Wait, is this a reconnaissance Dalek I’m hiding behind?” He asked.

“I don’t know your Doctor who shit!” I yelled back.

“Robot mode! Now!” He yelled then changed into robot mode. He scanned the Dalek and transformed into one.

I transformed to robot mode as well and began firing on the soldiers.

“NOW YOU FACE THE MIGHT OF THE DALEK!” SB yelled out. He then used his gun to disintegrate the one he built. Then he began firing every soldier “EXTERMINATE!!!” He screamed as he killed each one without missing.

Once all the soldiers were dead I saw a camera looking at us so I destroyed it with a cannon blast. “Well now that we're here we might as well try to find the Cybertronian that they captured.”

“Let’s begin the rescue!” He yelled out. Then he transformed into his human form.

I roll my eyes and change to human form and feel around my pockets not finding anything I ask SB. “Hey got anything we can use to fight with while human?”

He removed the gear he stole from the guard he killed and tossed them to the floor. Then he held out his hand and a staff appeared.

He began spinning his staff and then brought it to the ground and black lightning shot out in all directions.

“Neat.” I said and picked up the gun.

“Yeah, let’s go.” He said.

I walk down the hallway till we find a room with computers. “Are you good with computers?” I asked SB.

“Of course!” He said as he put away his staff, then he began typing away on the computer. “So you going to tell me what you want?” He asked.

“I want you to find out if the Transformer is alive, and where they are being held.” I told him, while guarding the door. “Also find out if they are Autobot or Deceptacon.”

“Shut the hell up about whether they’re Autobot or Decepticon! If you don’t care who you're saving, don’t bring up their allegiance!” SB yelled at me.

I frown at him. “The only reason I ask is I wanna know if I'm going to get attitude for saving them or if they're going to actually listen to what I say.” I told him then a soldier came through the door but I hit him in the back of the head knocking him out.

“Well it shouldn’t matter, so don’t bring it up, anyway they’re restrained in a room above us.” He said.

“Sweet makes things easier, let’s get up there and get them out of here.” I said before putting the soldier in the closet.

Soundblaster got off the computer and it self-destructed. Then he brought out a gadget with a drill on it. “POWER UP AND ENERGIZE!” He said as it glowed.

I raise an eyebrow. “Before you leave I want the blueprint on how to make those for Shockwave.” I said while moving out of his way.

“Not gonna happen.” He said as he began drilling into the ceiling.

“Why not?” I ask him, then I cover my face to keep rocks from hitting me.

“Because I said!” He told me as he broke through to the floor above.

“Whatever, I am sure he can make them from just my description of what they do. Let’s save us a robot.” I said and walked over to the hole and looked up.

He drilled another hole and jumped through and transformed to robot mode. “Rumble Eject!” He said. Then Rumble came out of his chest. “Rumble, activate piledrivers, OPERATION: JAILBREAK!” SB ordered.

I climb up through the hole and transform into robot mode. “Alright, let’s see who I am rescuing.” I look around the room and see Cliffjumper, a red Autobot with silver horns on his head.

Rumble used his piledrivers to destroy the restraints on Cliffjumper. Then once Cliffjumper’s been freed, Rumble returned back to Soundblaster’s chest. Cliffjumper stood up rubbing his wrists looking at the two of us. “Well well well, if it isn’t Megatron and Soundwave. To what do I owe this displeasure of meeting you two?”

“I am Soundblaster.” SB corrected him.

“And think of me however you want, but I refuse to see any Cybertronian treated like this.” I wave a hand at the restraints. “Now you can either follow us, or try to escape on your own, though I would recommend you come with us once we return to a safe location you'll be free to go. I have no interest in taking prisoners.” I told him then even turned my back to him.

“You, lord Megatron, not taking an Autobot prisoner? Like I would believe that.” I hear Cliffjumper say, then after a few moments. “But it’s not like I have much choice.”

“Wonderful! Let’s get going!” Said Soundblaster.

“Soundblaster, you were in their computers, which way is the fastest way out without costing lives?” I asked him, whispering the last three words.

Then a ground bridge opened and he gave a gesture meaning “after you”.

“Right.” I looked at Cliffjumper and saw he was hesitant, so I grabbed his shoulder and threw him through the ground bridge. “That was easy.” I then walk through.

Soundblaster came in close behind and handed Cliffjumper a disc. “What is this? Some kind of Decepticon trick?” He asked.

I roll my eyes and transform into a human. “No it is a way to fit in, now change into a human before someone sees you.” I ordered him.

Soundblaster transformed to vehicle mode and opened his doors. Cliffjumper looks between me and the disk before he tries it and turns into a man in a red shirt, blue jeans and a stetson. The two of us get into Soundblaster and I cross my arms. “In case you haven't noticed we aren't on Earth anymore. I don't know what your last memories are but as far as I'm concerned the Civil War between Autobots and Decepticons is over. I will defend my people but I won’t go easy on those who attack us.”

Cliffjumper frowns and flexes his hands, getting used to a human body. “The last thing I remember was that underlong of your’s, Starscream, stabbing me with his hand.”

“I assume you would like to get even?” Sb asked.

“Teh, like you would let me.” Cliffjumper said.

I roll my eyes. “I don't mind if you challenge him to a one on one fight with no weapons, so long as it's not a lethal fight. you have my word if Starscream attempts to cheat I will personally beat him into submission.”

“I’d pay to see that fight. In fact I’d take on bets to see who’d win.” Sb said. Then he began driving.

Cliffjumper looks at me in shock. “You would really do that? Why? You weren't acting like the Megatron I've heard legends of.”

I shrug and say. “If you swear on your spark to not tell a living soul I'll tell you why I'm acting so differently.”

“Same reason goes for me btw.” Said Soundblaster as he put on some music.

“Ugg fine, I swear I won’t tell anyone.” Cliffjumper said with a frown.

I chuckle and say. “Believe it or not both Soundblaster and I are actually humans that were turned into Cybertronians due to a powerful being known as a void dweller. They can do the impossible and apparently they've been taking humans from various universes and dropping them into other universes with powers or items, sometimes as other beings.”

“However in my case, I started out as human, then I traveled from one universe to another and I began changing, mostly because my DNA was super unstable, but eventually I became a cybertronian.” Sb explained.

“I find that hard to believe.” Cliffjumper said.

“Believe what you want, just remember not to tell anyone, especially any Deceptacons.” I told him, then closed my eyes. “Oh and if you're worried about me taking you prisoner after all this, that isn't the case. You'll be staying with the locals of the planet that I live on along with three human children that I'll be collecting soon.”

“What!? You got humans involved? Have you no honor?” He asked.

I scoff. “It was Optimus and the other Autobots that got them involved.”

“I killed multiple humans on the way to save your ass.” Sb said in his normal monotone way. “They attacked first though.”

“What!? That is inexcusable! They're puny compared to you, what could they have possibly done to hurt you!?” Cliffjumper yelled.

“We were in human form at the time, so screw you, we were getting shot at, I made a choice.” Sb said.

“I agree to a point, by attacking us and holding you prisoner, in a sense they declared war on us. However I technically didn't kill any of them. I only knocked one guard out. Soundblaster did most of the fighting.” I told Cliffjumper.

“I still don’t like it, Optimus would've talked to them or gotten me out without hurting anyone!” Cliffjumper said.

“Well he isn’t here, and no one knows where he is either.” Soundblaster said.

“Technically we haven't even run into any of the other Autobots yet.” I said with my eyes still closed.

“What do you mean you haven’t run into the Autobots?” Cliffjumper asked.

“Just what I said, we haven’t seen them yet.” I told him then opened my eyes. “Oh Soundblaster I need to do something fast, open a ground bridge back to the base.” I said.

“The one we just left?” He asked.

“Yes, I need something before we leave.” I open one of his doors ready to jump out.

He closed the door and locked it. “If you want a new tank mode just use this.” He said then a disc popped out of the disc drive. “Put it on your chest and you can get a new mode.” He said.

I frown and take it. “Fine, just get us back to the mirror portal.”

“Already? But I was hoping to grab a few things while we were here too!” He said.

“Then go ahead and grab them, I am just dropping off Cliffjumper.” I told him then got my phone out and texted Sunset, telling her to get Twilight and Spike to the mirror portal.

“But my author’s guy is still working on the art!” He said.

I feel my eyebrow twitch. “What is he talking about?” Cliffjumper asked.

“Nothing, just ignore it if he says anything like that, a side effect of being a Displaced, that's what we are, sometimes causes some people to think they're part of a story.” I said before kicking my leg out against the glovebox.

“Oh you poor man, you have no idea how many fourth walls get broken by Pinkie!” SB said.

My eyebrow twitches as I huff. “I can handle crazy things.”

“Ok we’re back by the mirror.” He said as we arrived at the school.

“Good.” I get out of him and walk over to the statue. “Now Cliffjumper when our friends get here they will make a note for you, and you will go meet Princess Celestia. She can watch over you till more Autobots arrive.”

Cliffjumper looks at me with suspicion. “Why should I trust anything you say?”

“You can either believe me or not, just know that staying with princess Celestia is your best chance for survival or you can work with the Maximals; they are like a different version of Autobots.” I tell him then I add. “While the Autobots have yet to appear except for you, I have a whole ship of Decepticons and although I do not want the war to continue, they may attack you if they spot you so I suggest you stay in human form.”

“Agreed.” Said Soundblaster as he changed to human form.

“If you're worried about how the princess will react, don’t worry she has already seen me and my forces.” I told him, and just as a car pulled up and Twilight along with her new friends came out.

Then Maud came out and grabbed Soundblaster and began making out with him. Then she dragged him away by his hand. “That was oddly disturbing.” I said, then I turned to Twilight. “Twilight, this is Cliffjumper, he's an Autobot and I need you to write a letter to Princess Celestia asking her to watch over him and house him for a while, until his allies arrive. I don't know how long that will be though.”

“Ok.” Twilight said and started to write a message.

“So this girl has connections to this princess Celestia?” Cliffjumper asked me.

“Yes, she does, from what I have been told she used to be the princess' student.” I told him with my arms crossed.

“Yep, that’s right! And it’s been amazing being taught by the princess herself.” Twilight said happily as she finishes writing the letter. “All done.”

“Alright, now just take Spike and the letter through the mirror, he will send the letter and then you just need to wait for someone to come pick you up.” I told him, then spotted Soundblaster coming back with Muad.

Maud blew Soundblaster a kiss then left as Soundblaster came over to join us. “You have fun?” I ask him with half lidded eyes and a frown.

“She’s like an animal!” Sb said.

I roll my eyes and look at Cliffjumper. “Anyway, you can leave now. The rest of us have to do some other things before we are done here.”

“Oh yeah? Like what?” Cliffjumper asked, suspicion in his eyes.

I point at Twilight and the girls. “Those girls need to beat some bad guys, and I want to try to recruit them. If they don’t want to join me I will let Soundblaster take them.”

Cliffjumper still gave me a suspicious look but sighed, “Alright, so how do I meet this Celestia?”

“All you have to do is step through this mirror with Spike, and assuming Twilight put it in the message she should send someone to come pick you up after she receives the letter.” I told him and put my hand through the portal.

Cliffjumper nods before he walks over to the portal, “I swear if this is a trap, I’ll fight my way out then come kill you.” he said before walking through the portal.

I look over at Twilight and Spike. “Doesn’t he need you to send the letter?”

“Yes, he does.” Twilight said, Spike jumps out of Twilight's arms and runs through the portal.

“Well, now that he is out of our hair, let's deal with these sirens. No offence but I am getting bored of this world.” I said.

“You are a weenie.” Sb said. “Hey girls, need another musician in the band?” He asked them as he brought out Ratbat in his Keytar form.

“Sure I guess.” Twilight said with a nod.

“Great!” Exclaimed Soundblaster. Then Buzzsaw came back and transformed back into a guitar and SB caught him. “I’ve been wondering where you were.” He said as he put them both away.

I lean on the statue. “So how long do you think this will take?” I ask them before I get blinded by the sunrise.

“For the counter spell? Hopefully not long.” Twilight said, though she sounded a bit unsure.

“Right… maybe me and my friends should just go grab them.” I said.

“You go try and see if your plan works, I’m going to practice with the girls.” Soundblaster said as they all left.

I sigh and step away from the statue and use the phone to text Soundwave. “Soundwave, I think we should get the kids now, I want this mission over.”

I get a text back saying that he understands. I wait for him to show up outside the school and as I wait I spot the sirens heading into the school. “Hmm, I could try to stop them now or do what I planned.”

“Your choice dude.” Said Soundblaster, popping up out of nowhere and again almost giving me a heart attack.

I pat my chest and glare at him. “Stop doing that! Ugh whatever, I will go give them the choice and if they don’t side with me then you can take them away.” I told him just as Soundwave drove up on a no doubt stolen motorcycle. I looked to where Soundblaster was but he disappeared.

Soundwave gets off the motorcycle and waves at me as he walked over to me. “Greetings Soundwave, I hope you're ready to deal with the sirens.” I told him and pointed at them.

He simply nods his head, we head over to the sirens and I clear my throat. “Are you three the Dazzlings?”

“Duh! Of course we’re the Dazzlings!” Sonata said, she had light blue hair with dark blue stripes in it and it was tied in a ponytail, her outfit was something fancy for the competition.

I smirk and cross my arms. “Well I have an offer for the three of you, the offer is simple, come work for me and I can take you back to Equestria.”

“And if we refuse?” Adagio asked, she had orange curly hair with a single yellow stripe and like Sonata, was wearing fancy clothes.

I shrug and frown. “If you don’t then I leave you in this world.” I told them.

“Pfft, as if we believe you.” Aria said, she had purple hair with light blue stripes and currently had her hair in twintails, like the other two she wore fancy clothes except had a blue green jacket with torn sleeves.

I shrug and turn away. “Fine, stay here forever, no skin off my back.” I told them before walking away. “Oh and if I find out you hurt anyone…” I look back at them before changing into my robot form for a second before becoming human again. “I will kill you three.”

The three of them had fearful and surprised looks on their faces when they saw me change into my robot form and back. “W-what are you?” Adagio asked.

I grin and say. “Your death if you fuck with my plans.” I then walk away.

I see Soundwave give me a questioning look, making me confused before he pointed back at the sirens. I shake my head. “I am done with them, let Soundblaster and the girls deal with them.”

Soundwave nods in understanding before we continued walking. “Text me where the kids are, we are picking them up while Soundblaster and those girls deal with the sirens.”

Sounwave nods before he pulls out his phone and began to type something and after a few seconds, I get a message on my phone and looked at it to see coordinates to the kids location. “Good work, let's go.” I get on the motorcycle and start it up.

We drove for what felt like hours, as we had to go to a different town. After we finally arrived it was close to noon. We pulled up to a public library and I turned off the motorcycle as we arrived at the location of the kids. “Hmmm so they are at a library? This will be a pain. Soundwave, stay outside and catch them if they run.”

Soundwave nodded his head as he stayed outside while I walked into the library. Once inside, I looked around for the kids, seeing a bored Miko leaning against a bookshelf. I walk over till I am standing beside her, and move my hands behind my back. “Hello miss, waiting for someone?”

Miko jumped slightly before looking at me, “Geez! You almost gave me a heart attack!” she said,

I chuckle a bit. “Yes I have that effect on most humans.” I look at her. “So are you waiting on anyone?”

“Um, yeah.” Miko said, “A friend.”

“This friend… his name wouldn’t happen to be Bulkhead, or maybe Ratchet, or Bumblebee, oh or is it Arcee?” I ask her with my grin growing.

Miko was a bit wide eyed before shaking her head, “Kinda figured somebody from the military would know about them. Did Fowler send you?” Miko asked me.

I chuckle and tap my dog tag. “Not exactly, but before you try to run I want you to hear me out, all three of you.” I told her once she spotted my Decepticon dog tag.

I see Miko looking at me fearfully, “W-why would a human join the Decepticons?” Miko asked me,

I hum in thought. “That is a complicated thing to answer, but for now let's go speak with your friends. You have my word, on the soul of Primus that I will not harm any of you.”

Miko nods, still having that fearful look on her face before I see both Jack and Raf walking towards us. “Hey, someone from the military, did-” Jack began before he saw the dogtags, going wide eyed.

I sigh and look at him. “Please do not run, I want to talk before anything else. Let's find a private study room to talk.” I wave a hand to the back of the library.

They nodded their heads before we walked to the back of the library and entered one of the study rooms. I stay by the door as they sit down. “Ok first things first, I may look human but that is a disguise so I don't cause a scene. Secondly, yes I am a Decepticon, but I have no interest in hurting any of you.”

“Why should we believe you Decepticreep?!” Miko said, “You Decepticons have done nothing but hurt everyone!”

I nod my head. “True, most Decepticons do hurt people, but so would you if you were stuck in a Civil War for centuries.” I told them then pointed to my eyes. “Tell me do these look familiar to any of you? Surely you would recognize my eyes Jack.”

Jack gulped fearfully. “Y-you’re Me-Megatron.” he said, causing Raf and Miko to gasp.

“Y-you mean the leader o-of the Decepticons, M-Megatron?” Raf asked and Jack nodded his head.

“Yes, though I have gone through some changes. So you can believe what I say or not, that is your choice. However I cannot in good conscience leave you on this world. This is not your earth. The three of you as well as my Decepticons and a few other bots have been transported to another universe, in fact before I found you three I just happened to find an Autobot and saved him.” I told them.

“You? Save an Autobot? Are we sure you didn’t just capture them?” Jack asked me.

“Funny thing is, I would agree with you if I was the old Megatron, however I no longer care about the Civil War. All I want to do is restore Cybertron and bring our people back together, the way it was before but better.” I told him then my phone beeps and I checked it.

There was a text from Soundwave. “Military coming.”

“Damn, alright we are running out of time. The military is coming, no doubt for you three. I'm guessing that you've been trying to contact your Autobot friends, the military are the ones that had captured the Autobot I saved.” I said, then texted Soundwave, telling him to get us a fast car big enough for us all, if he can’t open a ground bridge.

I got a text saying he’ll get one as fast as he can. “What? But the military and Autobots are allies. Why would they capture one?” Miko asked, clearly confused.

“They would unless what he’s saying is true.” Jack said.

I nod with a smile. “Yes, it's good to see Jack is just as sharp as ever.” I check a window. “I have Soundwave getting us a car, we need to go.”

“Why can’t we just use a Groundbridge?” Raf asked.

“Why not use your vehicle forms, if you were able to become human, couldn’t you have gotten another vehicle form?” Jack asked.

“To answer your question Raf, my guess is because we don't have the infrastructure on this planet we can't activate ground bridges, and as for your question Jack, I don't even know if I have anywhere for any of you to sit inside me and Soundwave transforms into a spy drone. So unless you feel like hanging onto us while we fly miles in the sky I suggest we use a car.” I told them before I saw some military vehicles driving up the road.

I then get a text from Soundwave, “Found a suitable vehicle, get out now.”

“We need to leave now. Are you coming willingly or do I need to kidnap you?” I asked them.

Raf and Miko looked at each other nervously before Jack spoke up, “We’ll come with you. Who knows what will happen if we’re caught by the military.”

“Smart choice, let's go.” I open the door and we run out of the library and I spot some helicopters coming this way along with even more military vehicles on the roads, then a pickup truck pulls up in front of us with Soundwave driving. “Everyone in!” I jump into the back and hold onto the roof.

The kids nodded before getting into the truck just a few military vehicles drove up. “Hey you! Stop right there!” a soldier said.

I flip them off and bang on the roof. “Drive!” Soundwave drives off and I hang on as he drives around a military hummer. The rest of the military starts to follow us as we race out of the town. I frown as I try to think of a way to slow them down.

“You should have gotten a faster getaway car!” Miko said as the military starts to slowly gain on us.

“He had to get one big enough for the three of you plus the two of us.” I yelled at her then looked at the military before walking towards the end of the truck. “Soundwave, keep them safe and get them to the mirror portal.” I then jump out of the truck and transform into robot mode.

This caused the military vehicles to immediately stop, the soldiers looked at me in surprise, “You’ve got to be kidding.” a soldier said,

I glare down at them. “You have hurt one of my kind, so I will give you this one chance to turn around and leave us be or you will suffer the consequences of your actions.” I warn them and start to charge my arm cannon.

“We won’t take orders from you!” A soldier shouted just as helicopters started to fly above me, the soldiers inside aiming some sort of cannon at me.

I frown and keep an eye on them. “You kidnapped one of my people and tortured him. Tell me, is that what your world considers the right thing to do?” I ask them hoping to get through them.

“You mean defending the human race from things like you? Yeah. It does.” a soldier said before the soldiers with the cannons fired at me, I raised my arm to block only to shout in surprise when I lost all feeling in it. “EMP cannons, even big robots like yourselves, are weak against something as simple as an EMP.”

“Hmmm this is bad.” I mumble to myself, then I yell at them. “You have made your choice then.” I use my other hand to scoop up some dirt and throw it at them as I start to run making a smoke screen. I then touch the side of my head. “Soundblaster can you read me?” I try to use my built in communication system to call him.

I hear the sound of helicopter blades and looked up to see the military still chasing me while trying to shoot me. I jump out of the way from their shots before I pick up a large rock and throw it hitting one of their back rotors.

Then Soundblaster came out of the sky and left a crater where he landed. They threw EMPs at him but they didn’t seem to have any effect. “Lord Megatron, I believe now would be a good time for a tactical retreat.” He said.

“No really? I called to get a groundbridge out of here, and one for Soundwave and the kids!” I told him as I made another smoke screen by kicking the ground.

“Oh.” He said, then grabbed me by the waist and put me over his left shoulder and began running.

“Really!? Ugh whatever, got anything to fix an arm that got hit with an emp?” I asked him as he ran.

“I have EMP shielding in my armor so it won’t affect me, however if you got affected, it should get better in a few minutes, although it’ll be like the pins and needles sensations you get whenever something goes numb.” He told me as we caught up with the pickup truck.

“Just great.” I said before I pointed at the truck. “There, that's them.”

Soundblaster picked up the truck and stacked it on top of me and kept running. “Would you like me to open a ground bridge now?” Soundblaster asked.

“Yes, and if you have some MIB shit that would be helpful too.” I told him then I flipped off the military following us.

“You mean a neuralizer?” He asked.

“What the heck is a neuralizer?” Miko asked, “Also, who’s the new bot?”

“Oh right, kids meet Soundblaster, a somewhat clone of Soundwave.” I said then added. “And a neuralizer can basically make someone forget the past few hours to years.”

“Correct, however I don’t have a neuralizer.” Soundblaster said. “Buuuut….. I do know of an artifact in this world that can wipe memories.” He told me.

“Then do it, we can’t risk the military going after the human six after we leave.” I told Soundblaster, then added. “Oh and Soundwave before we leave, hack their network and erase all footage and information regarding us.”

“I already did that!” Soundblaster said. “While we’ve been running I’ve been wiping everything pertaining to us and everyone we know.” He said then opened a ground bridge and we ended up in a forest. He closed the ground bridge and put the truck and me down then changed to his human form and began looking around at the ground.

I change back as well and rub my arm. “Damn, still asleep.” I said frowning. I then look around and realize where we are. “We are in Wallflower’s garden aren’t we?”

“Who’s Wallflower?” Jack asked me as he and the other kids gave me confused looks. “Are they a friend of yours or something?”

“No, she was a girl who never got noticed so she was basically invisible, then she found the memory stone somewhere in this spot, then she used it to erase people’s memories, however this hasn’t happened yet so I might be able to find it……. Here!” He said as he thrust his hand into the ground and pulled out a rock with mystic runes.

“As hard as it may be to believe, this world and the one we're going to take you to is filled with magic.” I told them, then I looked at Soundblaster. “Just be sure to put it back when you're done using it. I don't want to risk changing the future.”

“You mean I can’t keep it?” He asked.

I frown at him. “No, Wallflower needs to find it so those events can happen and Sunset can grow as a person.” I told him.

“You are such a girl.” He deadpanned, making Miko snicker. “Whatever, I'll just need to analyze it’s specific energy and try to duplicate it. Anyone wanna be a test subject?” He asked.

I frown and shake my head. “You can do that when you're erasing the military's memories of us, remember?” I said then I looked down at Miko but then looked away.

“Fine, but I still need a way to bring memories back, otherwise I could have someone forget their own name! So I need to test it on something I can observe, so kids, anything unsettling you’d like to forget?” He asked.

Raf steps forward. “Well..there was the time I was struck by purple lightning.”

“Hmm let’s see if we can fix that.” He said. He walked over to Raf and held up the stone and it began glowing. Then clips of memory came from Raf and went into the stone. “Ok, Now for a test, what is your name?” Soundblaster asked.

“Um...who am I?” Raf asked, holding his head, causing Miko to gasp.

“You made him forget who he was!” Miko said angrily at Soundbalster.

I grab Soundblaster by his shirt and growl. “Fix this now.”

“Whoa whoa! It’s okay, I was only kidding!” Raf said, making me and the kids sigh in relief.

“Well at least we know how it works now. Once you're done dealing with the military, maybe you can tell us what's happened with the sirens. It's been a few hours, have you guys beaten them?”

“Actually no, I had to come get you, but we got to the finals, so right about now the girls should be under the stage.” He said. “Now I have to see if I can return memories.” He walked back over to Raf and held up the stone and it. Began glowing again, only this time, the memories flowed from the stone and into Raf. “Ok Raf, do you remember?” He asked.

Rafs nods after rubbing his head, “That felt weird, but I remember what happened.”

I smile at Raf then look at Soundblaster. “Alright, it works. So here is the plan, me, Soundwave, and them.” I point my thumb at the kids. “Will help Twilight and her friends, while you deal with the military. Sound good?”

“Alright. Now to put this back where I found it.” He said as he put the stone back where it was, then covered it up with dirt. He stood up and transformed to his robot mode. He held up his arms and to my surprise he flew up like in the original G1 series.

“Since when could bots fly without being planes or helicopters?!” Miko asked.

“That's a ...complicated thing to answer, let's just go save Twilight and her friends.” I said and started heading for the large stage I could see.

“So what are we supposed to save them from?” Jack asked me, “It must be something big if it’s got Decepticons involved.”

I chuckle. “You’d be surprised, we just need to open a locked door.” I told him as we headed backstage.

“Really? That’s it? Open a locked door?” Miko asked me incredulously.

I shrug and say. “They won’t be thinking clearly at the moment.” I said as we walked up to a door then I kicked it open, breaking the latch. “Ok ladies time to get yourselves together and beat the sirens.”

The girls stopped their arguing and looked at me in surprise. “Megatron? How did you know we were here?” Twilight asked me.

“Questions later, Soundwave, make sure they aren’t affected by the sirens anymore.” I told him, he nodded and transformed into his robot form and played the reverse sound of the siren's spell. Unfortunately it hurt like hell, I had to cover my ears and so did the girls.

“For the love of all things good, turn that off!!” Rainbow Dash shouted, though I barely heard her due to the sound.

I wave at Soundwave, signaling for him to stop and he does. “Damn, ok you should all be free now.” I said before something ran into my leg. I looked down to see a panting Spike, and when I looked in the direction he came from I saw a girl with a white and purple outfit with neon blue hair sunglasses and headphones on.

“Geez, was that really necessary?” Sunset asked me,

I shrug and said, “I had no way of making sure you were under their spell or not.”

“You guys are safe! Sorry it took me so long, I had to find someone that wasn’t under their control.” Spike said.

Jack, Miko and Raf stare at him. “Did that dog just talk?” Miko asked.

“All that's happened and that's what you notice?” I ask them.

Twilight asked Spike. “Why isn't she under their spell?”

“She never takes off her headphones.” Spike said.

Applejack steps forward. “Come on, y'all! Time to prove we've still got the magic of friendship inside us!” Miko starts making gagging sounds.

Twilight nods her head. “And there's only one way to do it!”

Pinkie Pie then asked. “We're getting the band back together?”

Rainbow Dash stepped forward and pumped her fist. “We're getting our band back together!”

“Whee!” Pinkie Pie said before doing a cartwheel.

Rarity then brings up a good point. “Ooh, which version of the counter-spell are we going to play?”

Twilight looks at her friends with a smile. “I don't think it matters what song we play, as long as we play it together as friends.”

“I know just the song. Fluttershy's written a really great one.” Rainbow dash said while looking at Fluttershy making her smile wide, then I heard a squee sound.

“We're about to save the world here. Personally, I think we should do it in style. Rarity?” Applejack said before looking at Rarity.

Rarity grins and pulls out a rack of clothes. “I thought you'd never ask!”

I roll my eyes and head over to the hill they are going to play on, soon they follow after changing. Soundblaster gave me a heart attack again by just appearing next to me.

“Hi.” He said.

I hold my chest and frown. “Damn it, geez, at least you're here to help them.” I point at the girls as they look over the audience and stage.

“The military is taken care of and I have learned how to erase memories.” He said. Then he transformed to his robot mode and panels opened up on his shoulders to reveal speakers. “Ratbat Eject! OPERATION: RAINBOOM!” He said as Ratbat came out of his chest and transformed into a keytar.

“Huh, a giant robot with a musical instrument, that’s something you won’t see everyday.” Applejack said with the rest of the girls nodding their heads in agreement.

I chuckle and look up at Soundblaster. “They've already seen Soundwave as a robot and maybe even myself.” I told him.

He didn’t respond and instead got a cable and plugged himself into Vinyl’s car. I watched the girls begin to play music and Soundblaster seemed to add his own tune into the mix.

The girls and the sirens begin to battle with their music. They were doing good until Adagio and twilight had a screaming contest and Adagio won, blowing away the microphone over to Sunset’s feet. I placed a hand on her shoulder. “Now is your time, show them what's in your heart.”

Soundblaster grabs the cord to her microphone and plugs it into his speakers then nods to her. She holds it looking nervous, before she breathes out and starts to sing. With the seven of them working together their magic grows stronger, Sunset even grew pony ears and her hair grows into a ponytail.

Once they all sang together they started making a magic rainbow shoot into the sky, up into the clouds. Then a seventh color is added, Sunset’s. Once her color was added the music and magic peaked and a ball of magic formed in the clouds, revealing a large alicorn with rainbow hair. The magic construct then fires magic down onto the siren's physical bodies. I look closely and see them fall to their knees.

“Megatron, I’m assuming they rejected you, correct?” Soundblaster asked.

“Yeah, I gave them an offer and they refused it.” I shrugged. “Why?”

“May I have them?” He asked.

I raise an eyebrow. “Why would you want them? They are powerless now, and wouldn’t that mess with the timeline here?”

“Not if I leave clones.” He said to me.

I rub my face. “Fine, but I don’t see the point, if you can make clones why not take the clones?”

“Because I would know they were clones.” He said as he transformed back to human and looked at me.

I sigh and shake my head. “Whatever.” I look over and see Jack, Miko, and Raf staring in shock of what happened.

“What...did...we just see?!” Jack asked.

“Never in my life have I ever seen something like that!” Raf said next.

“It looked like something out of a kids cartoon but it was too cool to be!” Miko shouted.

“I’m going to block their path before they can leave….” He said then took a few steps forward before turning around. “Don’t follow me. It’ll be very ugly.” He said, then ran off as fast as in-humanly possible.

I shake my head then look at the three humans. “Yeah, you’ll have to get used to that.”

“Yeah, that’s probably not gonna happen.” Miko said,

I chuckle and look where Soundblaster went. “I will be right back, stay with Soundwave and Twilight.” I point them out before I walk down to where Soundblaster ran off to.

I found the Sirens cowering in fear around a corner, and SB was there causing their horror. I stayed hidden, but I got a look of his eyes, and they weren’t normal, they were red with black sclera…. And they were glowing. “You girls are in so much trouble!” He said to them. His voice was deep and almost beastial.

“For your sins of Gluttony, I curse you all!” He said as he raised his hands into the air. Then dark bolts of electricity began gathering in his hands. “Hoc maledicto te ad veras redibo formas! et manebis in pisce, donec lectionem tuam discas!” He shouted at them. Then they screamed as he threw the sphere of dark energy at them.

There was a bright flash and the girls were gone. In its place was a fishbowl. He walked over and picked up the fishbowl as his eyes changed back to normal. “You can come out now Megatron, I know you’re there.” He said, scaring the shit out of me.

I come out from around the corner and say. “Ok, one, that was scary as hell that you knew I was there and two, what did you do to them?”

“Have a look.” He said, showing me the fishbowl. Inside were the Sirens in their original forms, not only that but their gems were on their chests and they were fixed. “The curse fixed their gems too!” He said. I also noticed they all wore black collars around their necks.

“Huh, neat. Well just make sure they don’t cause trouble.” I said then looked around. “Ok, sirens beaten, new form kinda acquired, the kids from prime are saved along with Cliffjumper, and the day is saved, what's left to do?”

“Leave clones of these three…. Oh! And one more loose end!” He said.

Then Adagio began speaking. “We will destroy you!” She screamed.

We both began laughing at her. “Hahaha! She sounds like a chipmunk!” Soundblaster said between laughs. He stopped laughing and put the fishbowl in my arms. “Hold onto that for a second.” He said then jumped into a portal he created, then it closed and opened up again a few seconds later. Now he had a feral Midnight Sparkle, Muzzled and on a leash.

“Ok, I got what I need!” He said.

I stare at this beast for a few seconds before asking. “Um..where did you get her? Because I know it couldn’t have been from my universe, as my universe is an anthro one. And it couldn’t have come from the human Twilight from this universe because well, she,” I point at Midnight sparkle. “would be human.”

“Technically she is from this world, only I took her from the future, and since Midnight here was an entity created by equestrian magic, I was able to go all ghostbusters on her and rip her from this world’s Twilight, and after she was removed from her she needed a physical form, and since it’s equestrian magic, with a bit of additional magic from me, her new form is feral. I hope that explains things cuz I don’t think I have any other explanation than that.” He explained.

“You have no idea why she’s feral do you?” I deadpanned.

“Nope! I just ripped her from future Twilight and this is what she became.” He said.

I facepalm. “Well I hope you didn’t fuck up the timeline.” I said, shaking my head. “Let’s just go home, I want to send you home as soon as possible so I can rest.”

“I’m not that exhausting am I?” He asked, looking hurt.

I give him a deadpan look. “For my first displaced meet up, yeah. I was kinda hoping my first meeting with another displaced would involve less reality breaking and more constructive things. Yes you did help me, but you're just way too overpowered to wrap my head around. You do things that are sometimes impossible.”

“Sorry, I just have a lot of energy, so I tend to cause a bit of…. Hmm what’s the word?” He said, tapping his chin.

“Chaos, insanity, Mayhem, stop me if I get close.” I said.

“No sugar coating? Seriously?! Ugh fine, let’s just get back to Equestria, I’ve been analyzing the data from The Predacon’s ship through my head this whole time, and I need to give what I have to Knockout.” He said as we began heading off.

“Oh? Good, maybe it can help his work.” I said while we headed back to where everyone was.

Soundblaster brought out a man-purse and put Midnight into it, then disguised her as a chihuahua. I give him a deadpan look before shaking my head before giving him the fishbowl back. “Here.”

We got back to the others and I saw Twilight talking with the kids. “Oh that can’t be good.”

“She’ll find out sooner or later.” Sb told me. “You might as well tell her Everything.”

I walk up to them and I see Twilight notice me. “How could you do such cruel things?!” She asked me.

I sigh and rub the back of my head. “That's the thing, I didn't want this getting out until after I made sure that the Decepticons would continue to follow my orders, but I am not the original Megatron.” I tell them all.

“And I’m in a similar boat.” Sb said.

“What do you mean you’re not the original?” Twilight asked me.

I sigh and point at Twilight and the kids. “Look, I don’t want this getting out, but I am what's known as a Displaced, someone who dressed up as a fictional character and got sent to another universe. I was dressed up as Megatron when I was sent to Equestria, unfortunately all the other Deceptacons are the real ones. That's why I've been playing the role of the real Megatron, trying to keep things from escalating. So long as they believe I'm the real Megatron, your world is safe from them.”

I then point a thumb at Soundblaster. “And Soundblaster here is like me only he's from a different Equestria, Displaced can summon each other with items called tokens.”

“Hi.” He said, waving his hand.

“Like we are gonna believe that!” Miko said, pointing a finger at me. “You're probably just trying to make us lower our defenses then BAM! You’ll crush us!”

I sigh and rub my face. “Soundwave show them the opening and first episode of Transformers Prime, please.” He nods and transformers into robot form and kneels down using his face to show them the first episode.

They looked at the episode in confusion, before that confusion turned into shock as they just continue watching the video. Soon enough the episode ends and I have my arms crossed. “If I was the real Megatron, how could I have all that surveillance of you and the Autobots base but never attack your homes or the base before discovering it again.” I ask them, bring up good points.

“My turn!” Exclaimed Soundblaster. He transformed to robot mode and he tapped his chest. Then his chest became a screen and he began playing episode one of my little pony. “Hey look! I’m a teletubby!” He exclaimed as the screen continued showing the events of the pilot.

Twilight looked desturbed. “That can’t be me, she is...well an animal.” She said watching.

I facepalm and groan. “Again, you cause chaos, I wasn't going to tell her that part.” I told him, then looked at Twilight. “Think of that Twilight is a parallel version, one that's different from you through evolution but personality wise you're similar. In the multiverse anything and everything exists.”

“I have files on things that’ll happen later in the future if you wanna watch, or should I not reveal any more spoilers that could possibly break her mind?” He asked me.

I slap the back of his head. “Hey dummy, don’t tempt her with knowledge of the future.”

Soundblaster got up and faced me. Then he grabbed me by the throat and held me up in the air. “NEVER. DO THAT. AGAIN!” He said, getting in my face then letting go of me.

I rub my throat and stare at Soundblaster while Soundwave grabs his shoulder. Soundblaster looks back at him and walks away.

Soundblaster transformed into his MAV vehicle mode and opened the doors. “Let’s just get out of here.” He said, sending out two tentacles, one for the fishbowl and the other for his man-purse, and he put them into the passenger side seat.

I stand up and rub my neck. “Just go speak with Knockout, I need to speak with them more.” I said pointing at Jack, Miko, Raf and Twilight.

“Fine, suit yourselves.” He said then closed his doors. He then proceeded to drive, but stopped and drove back towards Vinyl’s car and scanned it, then drove off.

I sigh and shake my head. “Alright, so I assume some of you have questions.” I said to the kids and Twilight.

“Uh yeah we do! Does this mean our whole lives were nothing but some show?” Miko asked me.

I shake my head. “No, you are just as real as everything else. A scientist on my earth actually came up with a theory saying that every source of fiction exists somewhere out in the multiverse; it's just that aspects of those worlds leak into our imaginations whenever they are drifting close to our own universe. So things that you saw as fiction in your world exist somewhere in the multiverse, but they're just as real as you are.”

“Uh...did anyone understand what he said, cause I’m confused.” Miko said,

“He basically said that some of what people thought of, got leaked from one world, aka, ours, and created a show of our world.” Raf said.

“Pretty much, and you'll be happy to know that there's more than one Transformers TV show, although the three of you were only featured in one version.” I told them then looked at Twilight. “Basically the same thing could be said for your reality Twilight. As you saw in the video, there were changes between your world and that representation.”

“I-I think I understand, but it’s still weird.” Twilight said then Miko spoke up.

“Hey, what kind of versions of the bots are there?” Miko asked me.

“Well so far the Predacons and maximals have shown up, they transform into animals.” I told her then added. “Oh yeah and Cliffjumper is alive and on the other side of the mirror portal already.”

“Wait, Cliffjumper? As in Arcee’s partner Cliffjumper?” Jack asked me in shock, “But, I thought he was dead.”

“Yes he was, but it seems that those that died in the show are appearing the way they did before their death when they appear in this and the other world.” I said rubbing my chin. “I should have my ship searched for Airachnid.”

“Please do, I do not want to end up running into her again.” Jack said while Twilight looked confused.

“Um, who’s Airachnid?” Twilight asked.

“She is another Decepticon, although she is more of a freelancer as she does what she pleases and she has a tendency to kill a specific Autobot’s partner every time.” I told her, then looked at Jack. “I will find her if she is in Equestria, but you and your friends will have to stay with the ponies until more Autobots arrive.”

I then remember something and look at Soundwave. “Have you set up some sort of system that will keep an eye on this world to let us know if another Autobot appears?”

Soundwave nods his head. I smile. “Good, then if everything is settled here, let's head back to Equestria.” I said looking at everyone.

Everyone nods in agreement and we head down the hill towards the portal, Twilight saying goodbye to her friends. I see the kids looking confused before I thrust my arm through the portal. “It is a portal, think of this like a ground bridge but for travel between two specific universes.”

“I think we get it.” Raf said, but then looked at the portal nervously, “Will it do anything to us?”

I think back to all the fanfics I have read. “Hmm I don't think so, at worst it will turn you into one of the locals.” I told them then I list off the different local lifeforms. “There are mostly ponies, but anthropomorphic, griffins, minotaurs, cat people called Abyssinians, changelings, and a few others.”

“Wait, so we just turn into one of the locals? How is that bad?” Jack asked me.

“It is just a possibility, not for certain as you're not from this world or that one and outsiders like the two of us usually keep our forms.” I told him then I stepped through the portal.

I looked back at the portal and see the others come through, with Twilight turning back into an anthro pony, and the kids remaining the same. “Hey, we didn’t change.” Miko said.

“I did say it was only a possibility, but at least now when your friends arrive they will still be able to recognize you.” I told them, then looked away from them. “Now if you'll excuse me I must go deal with Soundblaster and do some checking on my Predacon prisoners.”

Just then, Cliffjumper turned around the corner, “Well look who it is. If it isn’t Megatron, the ‘leader’ of the Decepticons.” Cliffjumper said.

I roll my eyes. “They know Cliffjumper.” I told him, then Soundwave came through the portal. “Cliffjumper meet Jack, Miko, and Raf. They are human allies of the Autobots that they met after your death.” I introduced the two groups before looking at Soundwave. “Come on, we need to go back to the Nemesis and check on a few things, Soundblaster being one of them.” He nods his head and the two of us leave as Cliffjumper starts to talk with the kids.
