Transformers and Equestria Girls: Robots in Disguise
Recon Mission and First Contact/Friendship Games, Part 2
Previous ChapterNext ChapterBack at Canterlot High, Sunset and her friends were reading some books in the library while Sunset explained what happened earlier, “She was definitely doing something to the statue – or was going to.”
“Do you think she came through the portal from Equestria?” Fluttershy asked, petting her bunny. “No, I'm pretty sure I woulda noticed that. I think she was from over here,” Sunset said.
“Well, that's a relief. The last thing we need is another magical so-and-so bent on world domination comin' over from Equestria,” Applejack said, placing both her feet on the table and kicking back, until Sunset made a smirk of agreement.
Rarity then scoffed, “Agreed. I have no interest in another fight against the powers of evil magic. The wear and tear on my wardrobe is just too much to keep up with.”
“Still, a mysterious figure snooping around the portal? Don't you wanna know what she was up to?” Sunset asked. Fluttershy shuddered nervously, “I don't even wanna guess.”
Rainbow Dash then ran over to the group with a yearbook in her hand, “Well, you don't have to. Because I've totally figured out who it was!”
“Ooh, ooh! A nighttime statue cleaner? A magical portal maintenance maintainer? A gardener?!” Pinkie Pie asked in excitement, until Rainbow Dash shoved her backwards for personal space. “Seeing as how they got off a bus from the city and got back on a bus headed to the city, I'll bet they go to...” All but Sunset Shimmer replied with Rainbow Dash, “Crystal Prep.”
“Yep. With the Friendship Games starting tomorrow, they'd totally try to prank us by defacing the Wondercolts statue,” Rainbow Dash said.
“Why would anyone take a bus all the way from the city for that?” Sunset asked. “Because the Crystal Prep Shadowbolts are our biggest rivals?” Applejack replied.
“Because that's just what the students at Crystal Prep would do?” Rarity replied.
“Because even though they beat us in everything – soccer, tennis, golf – they still have to gloat!” Rainbow Dash said, showing Sunset a picture of the Crystal Prep students giving the Wondercolts statue a makeover.
“Seems kinda silly to me,” Sunset commented removing the book from her face.
“Silly?!”
The Mane 5 felt offended by Sunset’s comment, until Rainbow Dash looked at her sternly, “So I guess you think the Friendship Games are silly, too.”
“Well, it's not like we'll be fighting the powers of evil magic,” Sunset said. “No. We'll be fighting against a school full of meanies. Not everything has to be magical to be important,” Fluttershy said. “You're right. I'm sorry. I know it's a big deal,” Sunset said. Rarity scoffed, “That's putting it mildly, darling. They're still revamping the playing field in preparation.”
“I just don't understand why there's this big rivalry. Aren't the "Friendship Games" supposed to be about our two schools getting along?” Sunset asked.
“Well, it's kinda hard to get along with someone who beats you at everything,” Applejack said, until Rainbow Dash smacked the yearbook out of her hand. “Not anymore! This time, things are gonna be different.”
“What do you mean?” Sunset asked. “Oh, you'll find out,” Rainbow Dash replied, and then smirked with a smile on her face.
Meanwhile, Bumblebee decided to do a little driving around town, until he saw how peaceful the planet they were on was, and then he was suddenly shot by a storm of missiles, and making him bump into a stone wall in robot mode.
“What was that?!” he asked with his buzzing voice while getting up, until he saw a big green jet flying towards him, before it turned into a Decepticon named Skyquake, as he shoved him towards the wall.
“DID YOU THINK YOU COULD HIDE?!” Skyquake asked, as Bumblebee kicked him in the face, and did a backflip landing on his feet, before Skyquake pulled out a huge mini gun. “Now you’ll die screaming… like your friends!”
Bumblebee then put on his battle mask and then fought Skyquake in melee combat, swung a tree log at the Decepticon before he flew in midair until he punched Bumblebee in the chest. Skyquake then grabbed the little Autobot and flew up the cliff, until Bumblebee punched the rocket turbines on his back and used his stingers on him, causing Skyquake to fall, but Bumblebee once again landed on his feet, until Skyquake shot bullets from his mini gun at Bumblebee, damaging some of him, before he grabbed the Autobot on the chest.
“Tell me where your friends are hiding,” Skyquake said.
“Boop-zzt!” Bumblebee replied.
“Is that right?” Skyquake asked, until he lowered the Autobot farther towards the cliff. “Then let’s make it official.”
Skyquake then dropped Bumblebee causing the Autobot to tumble severely and then he landed on the ground heavily damaged, until Skyquake came back.
“Autobot Bumblebee, as a member of the Autobot Rebellion of Resistance, you are a traitor to Cybertron, and are hereby sentenced… to death.”
Bumblebee then grabbed a missile from Skyquake’s arm, and then jammed it into his chest, where his spark chamber was, and as he backed away, Bumblebee fired his stinger at the missile and then it suddenly blew up, leaving Skyquake in pieces until some parts of him were left, including his upper body, his legs, and one of his arms. His eyes then turned off, meaning he was dead.
Somehow Bumblebee was still damaged, until he fainted and fell down, before he saw some his vision blurring. Until his optics turned off, he could see a red and blue shadowy figure with blue optics appearing.
At the gymnasium, a woman named Principal Celestia, and her sister, Vice Principal Luna gathered all of the students for an assembly. “As I am sure you all know, tomorrow, Canterlot High School will be hosting our fellow students from Crystal Prep Academy as we join together in the spirit of excellence, sportsmanship, and fidelity to compete in the Friendship Games,” she announced, as the students made some unenthused cheering and sparse applause. “Since the games only happen every four years, I'm sure you're all curious what goes on.”
“You mean other than us losing?!” Flash Sentry called out, leaving the two principals unamused.

“And that is exactly why I've asked Rainbow Dash to come up and give you all a little, um... context,” Principal Celestia said, as Rainbow Dash snatched the microphone from her, as it made some feedback noise. “Thank you, Principal Celestia,” Rainbow Dash then cleared her throat. “I know a lot of you might think there's no way we can beat a fancy school like Crystal Prep at anything.”
“Unless it's a "losing to Crystal Prep" competition! 'Cause we're really good at that!” Pinkie Pie commented by yelling. Rainbow Dash groaned, and then continued, “And I know that CHS has never won the Friendship Games even once.”
“Oh, dear. I hope this speech isn't meant to be motivational,” Rarity whispered to Sunset, as Rainbow Dash started her speech. “Crystal Prep students are super athletic, super smart, and super motivated. But there's one thing they aren't. They aren't Wondercolts!”
We've fought magic more than once
And come out on top
Chorus
Oh, oh
Rainbow Dash
There's other schools, but none can make those claims
Chorus
Na, na-na-na-na, oh

Together we are Canterlot
Come and cheer our name
Chorus
Oh, oh
Rainbow Dash
This will be our year to win these games
Rainbow Dash and chorus
We'll always be Wondercolts forever
And now our time has finally arrived
'Cause we believe in the magic of friendship
And you know, at the end of the day, it is we who survive
[instrumental break]
Students

The students were cheering after Rainbow Dash formed pony ears, wings, and a long ponytail.
Outside the town and near the school, Optimus was starting to read Rainbow Dash’s energy readings from her anatomy while driving in his truck mode. “Strange. These energy readings Windblade predicted are coming from the roof. This is definitely not Cybertronian. Hopefully, the Decepticons aren’t too worried about this than we are.”
After Rainbow Dash gave a thumbs up to the school band members, she looked at her friends pleased from her performance. “Rainbow Dash, that was amazing! Even I feel like we can win!” Fluttershy said.
“I feel like my school pride is at an all-time high!” Rarity squealed. “Is anybody else wonderin' how Dash ponied up without playin' her guitar?” Applejack asked. “I know, right? It's probably because I'm so awesome!” Rainbow Dash commented, while still feeling proud of herself and her pride.
“Maybe,” Sunset said. “I mean, you are awesome, but there's gotta be more to it than that, right? It just seems so random.”
“Well, it would be nice if you girls could get a handle on it. We'd like to keep magic as far away from the Friendship Games as possible. We don't want to be accused of cheating,” Vice Principal Luna said.
“We don't need magic to defeat those hoity-toity Crystal Preppers,” Rarity scoffed, as they all except Luna, Rarity and Sunset agreed with comments, until Rarity giggled.
“Still, the Friendship Games are serious business. We don't want any surprises. Especially the kind that could cause us to forfeit. Sunset Shimmer, you came here from a world of magic. Perhaps you can get to the bottom of our magical development,” Vice Principal Luna commented. “I'll do my best,” Sunset confirmed, as the vice principal left.
“Okay. Anybody have any guesses what the events are gonna be?” Rainbow Dash asked. “Pie eating? Cake eating?” Pinkie commented holding a pie and cake in each hand, and then gasped as she splattered them together, making a mess. “Pie-cake eating?!”
“They won't even let us see what they're doin' to the field. You think they'd at least tell competitors what they're competing in,” Applejack said, licking some cake frosting off her finger.
“It could be anything,” Fluttershy commented.
“Anything?! How will I ever pick the right outfit?!” Rarity asked nervously. “I really wanna help, but I think I better go focus on figuring out why Rainbow Dash ponied up. See ya later!” Sunset said, as she started walking over to the library.
“Seems like she's got everything under control. Nothing to worry about,” Pinkie Pie commented.
Sunset struggled to search for answers on the magical energy surge, but found no answers due to stress. “Ugh!” She sighed in depression, and then started writing to Princess Twilight in her journal. ’Hey, Twilight. Haven't heard back from you yet. I guess you must be pretty busy with your role as princess. But I could really use your advice right now. You see, I've been given the job of keeping magic under control here at CHS, even though I still haven't quite wrapped my head around it. And now after seeing Rainbow Dash pony up the way she did, it makes me think her magic might be... changing. Everyone is looking to me to figure things out and I really don't wanna let them down. But I'm not sure I have enough experience with friendship magic to solve this.’
Optimus saw Sunset’s depression from his virtual radar and then felt sorry for her, before he drove off back to base.
