Transformers and Equestria Girls: Robots in Disguise

Back on the Ark, as it was still working, Ratchet finished fixing Bumblebee’s damaged wounds, and then help him with his optical sensors. “That’s it, follow the light. Good. Good. Can you hear anything?”

Bumblebee nodded. “Good, now try to move, but carefully,” Ratchet said, until Bumblebee moved carefully and slowly, spoke but with a few buzzing bleeps. “How did I do it you ask? Well, most of your gears and circuits were damaged, and you looked badly damaged from the crash, but thankfully your spark was still pulsing, so I had to find someway to make sure they looked normal,” Ratchet explained. Bumblebee thanked him with thankful buzzing bleeps.

“It was my pleasure, Bumblebee,” Ratchet said.

“How is he, Ratchet?” Optimus asked.

“He appears to be normal, but he’ll need a little more time to recover from the battle, and from that direct hit during the crash,” Ratchet explained. Bumblebee then asked Optimus if there was something he could do while recovering.

“Well, Windblade and Bulkhead haven’t reported back, so maybe you oughta check on them, and continue your mission,” Optimus suggested. Bumblebee nodded and then drove off in vehicle mode.

“Optimus, it appears that the Decepticons are now hiding somewhere on this planet,” Ratchet said.

“Looks that way, Ratchet,” Optimus replied, agreeing with Ratchet.

Later on, in the gymnasium, the students of both schools were glaring at each other during a welcoming party for Crystal Prep Academy.

In the hallway, the girls were wearing school spirit outfits Rarity had made for them as they were on their way to the party.

“What do ya mean the portal's gone?” Applejack asked. Sunset opened the door and then replied, as they entered the gym, “I mean it's gone. It's closed. It's not there anymore!”

“How'd that happen?” Rainbow Dash asked.

“I don't know. But it has something to do with that Twilight,” Sunset replied, pointing at Sci-Twi searching for more of the magic without looking where she was going.

“What in tarnation is she up to?” Applejack asked, as Sci-Twi bumped into Indigo Zap as she spilled her drink, and snarled at Sci-Twi.

“Leave this to me,” Sunset replied, walking over to Sci-Twi. “Twilight, what have you been up to?”

Sci-Twi then felt nervous, “Me? Oh, I was just, uh—”

Indigo Zap then defended her, “Who wants to know?!”

“Um, we do,” Rainbow Dash replied.

“All right, everyone. Let's not get too competitive before the games even start,” Applejack said, calming them down.

“The games aren't really competitive since we've never lost,” Sugarcoat commented.

“That's not a very nice thing to say,” Fluttershy commented.

“Sorry, dearie, but these games aren't about being nice,” Sunny Flare said.

“Well, you might use a little tact,” Rarity said, pinching her fingers.

Sci-Twi backed up from the confrontation, until she bumped into Pinkie Pie from behind.

“Hi, I'm Pinkie Pie!” she said, reaching out her hand.

“Oh, hi. I'm Twilight,” Sci-Twi replied until Pinkie Pie shook her hand like crazy. “I know. You look just like my friend. Her name is Twilight too.”

Sci-Twi fixed her hair and braided it back into her bun, “That's... heh, weird.”

Pinkie Pie looked at the device hanging around Sci-Twi’s neck, “What's that?”

“It's sort of a spectrometer. I built it to track EM frequencies, but it can also contain anomalies,” Sci-Twi was suddenly beat as Pinkie Pie smiled as usual. “It measures things.”

“Like the party?” Pinkie Pie asked.

Sci-Twi looked around at the students who were not enjoying themselves, “Yeah, though it doesn't look like much of a party to me.”

“I know. Something is definitely missing,” Pinkie Pie said, until an idea popped into her head, “Come on!” Sci-Twi then yelped as Pinkie Pie dragged her with.

“Hello, everyone! I'd like to take this opportunity to greet all of our visitors from Crystal Prep Academy and welcome them to CHS,” Principal Celestia greeted warmly.

Sci-Twi grunted while shoving big present boxes with Pinkie Pie, “What in the world is in these?”

“Party cannons, of course!” Pinkie Pie replied unboxing the party cannons.

“And lastly, I would like to recognize the twelve students that CHS has elected to compete. I don't think we could have chosen a better group to represent the excellence, sportsmanship, and friendship the games stand for,” Celestia announced while some of the competing students, including the Rainbooms.

While creating a diversion, Pinkie Pie swapped the vegetable platter with cupcakes, and turned off the lights to let the disco ball reflect its colorful spinning beams, and asked a girl named Vinyl Scratch to play some party music, and then everyone started dancing and conversing.

“Um, are you sure this is a good idea?” Sci-Twi asked, seeing Pinkie Pie placing her hands on the rope pulley levers.

“Absolutely!” she replied, and then fired the confetti and balloons from her party cannons with a squeak.

Pinkie Pie suddenly grew her pony ears and ponytail, before floating with a pink aura, “Ooh, floaty!”

Sci-Twi’s device started humming and then began draining all of Pinkie Pie’s magic, until she returned to her normal state. “Aw! Oh. I am party pooped.”

A sparkling flash of light appeared from Sci-Twi’s device and it opened a small portal to Equestria, until she closed her device and it powered down, and the portal somehow disappeared.

Before the fun would continue, there was a thumping on the microphone, and made some feedback and the partying stopped, until it was Cinch who rudely stopped the party. “I'd like to thank Principal Celestia for her unconventional welcome. It's been four years since the last Friendship Games, but it feels as though nothing has changed. Canterlot High continues to pick its competitors in a popularity contest and Crystal Prep continues to field its top twelve students. It is a comfort to know that even after so many years of losses, your school remains committed to its ideals, however misguided they may be. I wish you all the best of luck, regardless of the inevitable outcome.”

“Oh…” Pinkie Pie moaned in depression.

“I'm sorry, Pinkie. I thought your party additions were really swell,” Applejack said, comforting her friend.

“They definitely broke the ice,” Fluttershy said.

“Yes. If only that Principal Cinch hadn't frozen it again,” Rarity said in total disgust.

“Yeah, she's awful,” Pinkie Pie said.

Suddenly, Sunset and Rainbow Dash walked over to the group. “Wow, Pinkie, what happened to you?” Sunset asked.

“I don't know. Everyone started having fun after Twilight and I fired the party cannons and I ponied up,” Pinkie Pie said.

“Of course you did,” Sunset said. “But then the magic just drained right out of me,” Pinkie Pie said wiggling her fingers in a voodoo hand motive.

“Wait, what do you mean "drained out of you"?” Sunset asked.

“Hey. Where is that other Twilight?” Applejack asked.

“Oh. She's right... Uh, well, she was right here,” Pinkie Pie said, as they all saw Sci-Twi was nowhere to be seen or found.

Back on the Nemesis, Starscream felt very impatient and decided to strike now. “Onslaught! Take your team and a couple of Vehicon troopers and seekers, and find those fleshlings, including the purple one with the spectacles, and bring them to me alive, but only find them if you ever find their energy signals!”

“Yes, Starscream,” Onslaught replied, as he then turned to his team. “You heard him! Let’s move! Half of you, come with us!” The Vehicons Onslaught pointed at nodded in reply and followed the Combaticons to the boarding bay.

Vice Principal Luna spoke over the P.A. system, “Good morning, students. I'm sure you're all thrilled to start the first day of the Friendship Games. Our competitors will face off in every aspect of the CHS curriculum, culminating in the elimination equation finale.”

In the main hallway, Dean Cadance, along with Principal Cinch grouchily standing there with crossed arms on the Crystal Prep side, and Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna on the Canterlot High side, “Welcome to the first event, the Academic Decathlon! You'll be scored on chemistry, home-ec and everything in between. But remember, only the six students from each team with the most points will move on to event number 2. Good luck!”

“Incorrect!” Principal Cinch commented, as Sunset sighed in defeat.

Vice Principal Luna then made the announcement as she checked the points, “That means the winner of the Friendship Games' first event is Twilight Sparkle and Crystal Prep!” Sci-Twi felt proud, but the Crystal Prep students sighed and made a scattered applause.

The Rainbooms suddenly came over to congratulate Sunset.

“That was awesome!” Rainbow Dash said. “Truly amazing!” Rarity commented.

“But we didn't win!” Sunset said, still feeling disappointed.

“That was as close to winnin' as Canterlot's ever been,” Applejack said.

Dean Cadance then made another announcement, “After a careful tally of the points, we'd like to present the students moving on to the Friendship Games' second event.”

The students then made a round of applause, and the Rainbooms cheered that they were still in the tournament.

Sci-Twi felt disappointed that none of the Crystal Prep students supported her, until she saw her classmates walking off the stage, and as she went to go catch up, she bumped into Flash Sentry again.

“Congratulations! You were really great!” he said, until Sci-Twi’s device beeped again.

“I'm sorry. Excuse me,” she said, taking her leave.

“Okay, then,” Flash said, until he felt disappointed. “Aw.”

Later on, out in the forest reserve area, the red Autobot Cliffjumper was driving around the dirt road in vehicle mode, and talking with his partner, which was the Autobot Arcee, “So there I am on a lookout, when out of nowhere, these high beams light up my rearview. And then it hits me I'm illegally parked!”

Arcee, who was a blue motorcycle with pink platings, answered her partner’s comm link, “Another parking ticket?”

Cliffjumper then spoke up, “Better. The boot.”

“Big metal tire clamp, impossible to remove.”

Cliffjumper then guessed her right, “Bingo! The local police do that thing and get me all the way down by a block. That's when I kick up my new shiny shoe and BANG!”

Arcee then commented, “Canterlot’s finest soil themselves.”

“You know me, Arcee. - Mess with Cliffjumper…”

“And you get the horns,” Arcee said, as Cliffjumper laughed until she spoke back. “Not sure how that complies with Autobot rule number one - 'Keep a low profile'?”

“What can I say?” Cliffjumper commented. “Patrolling for Energon out here is dull and gets me all on lonesome. Almost makes me miss the Decepticons.”

“Like Canterlot City’s a party? We're alone where ever we travel on this rock, Cliff,” Arcee said.

Cliffjumper suddenly got another energy reading on his radar, “I'm getting a signal.”

“Need backup?” Arcee asked.

“Do I ever need backup?” Cliffjumper replied, until he drove off to the source of the signal, turning out to be blue glowing crystals of Energon. “I just found a hole lot of Energon!” Suddenly, he saw a big shadow underneath him, before he transformed into robot mode. “Decepticons!”

A laser turret underneath the Nemesis aimed at the Autobot, and shot him towards the Energon deposit, until the airdrop bay opened, and out came 6 Vehicons. “Arcee, about that backup?”
