Transformers and Equestria Girls: Robots in Disguise

In the Energon hole, Cliffjumper gave a stern look at the Vehicons who were staring at him, “Fair warning, boys. I'll put a few dents in y'all.” He then transformed into vehicle mode again and drove upwards towards the Vehicons and a ramp up ahead, and as he went towards the sky, he transformed back into robot mode and ground pounded his landing.

Meanwhile, Optimus received a transmission from Arcee, “Arcee to Optimus, the Cons are back! Cliff might be neck-deep in scrap!”

Optimus confirmed her message, “Understood. Ratchet, do you have Cliffjumper's coordinates?”

“I'm locked on his signal, Optimus. But our team's scattered across timezones in the meantime,” Ratchet replied.

Optimus then contacted the other Autobots in Canterlot County, “Arcee, Bulkhead, Ironhide, Jazz, Scattershot, Smokescreen, Wheeljack, Windblade, Bumblebee. Rendezvous back at base prepare to ground bridge.” The Autobots acknowledged his order and drove back to their base.

Back with Cliffjumper, he was slightly being beaten by the Vehicons, as one punched him for the final time, and he landed back with the Energon, but one of his horns was torn off. “You want the horns?” he asked, as he converted his hands into blasters. “You got them!” He then had a firefight with the Vehicons, but suddenly the Energon exploded, leaving a huge blue flame, until two Vehicons survived and carried Cliffjumper, who was damaged and burnt from the explosion.

Back on the Nemesis, Starscream saw the mine was destroyed, “The Energon, it's worthless to me now.” As he growled, he saw the troopers appearing with their Autobot prisoner.

Cliffjumper looked up at the sky commander, “Scream. It's been a while.” he said, coughing up Energon from his mouth. “So, where's your master?”

“Never mind him. I am my own master,” Starscream said, as he jammed his fingers into Cliffjumper’s chest, as the Autobot grunted in pain. “Any more questions?” Cliffjumper saw Energon dripping from his chest as Starscream removed his fingers, and then laid down dead. “Clean that up,” Starscream commanded, as the two picked up the body.

As the Nemesis left, the Autobots appeared from a ground bridge portal, and Optimus was the last, as they all pointed their guns at the Energon field, but lowered them and converted them back into their hands.

“An untapped Energon deposit,” Optimus said.

“What's left of it,” Bulkhead said. “Ya said it,” Ironhide said.

“It looks like they already beat us to it,” Smokescreen said.

“The first Deception activity in three megacycles today,” Ratchet said.

“That we know of,” Optimus said. “If they're scouting for energon, they may be preparing for his return.”

The Autobots then went downwards, but Arcee gasped as she saw one of Cliffjumper’s horns and picked it up.

“No.”

Optimus felt the same way, “Ratchet, can you track his position?”

Ratchet nodded and looked up all their life signals, but Cliffjumper’s was red and made a flatline noise until it faded, “No. Cliffjumper's life signal just went offline.”

Starscream suddenly heard Soundwave come in, “Soundwave, what is it?”

Soundwave played the message his Minicon Laserbeak recorded, which was Arcee’s voice, “Like Canterlot County’s a party? We're alone where ever we travel on this rock, Cliff.”

“Ah, the one called Arcee. Why slay just one Autobot when we still have the advantage of surprise?” Starscream asked, making a slyly grinning face.

Meanwhile, the Autobots made a funeral for Cliffjumper’s loss at the hands of the Decepticons, as Optimus made a speech, “We must not allow our anger over the lost of Cliffjumper to impair our judgement. As of today, only we 13 Autobots remain on this Earth. We owe it to ourselves to the memory of Cybertron, to any Autobots in any galaxy seeking safe harbour, to humankind. And we owe it to the memory of our fallen comrade to survive.” Arcee placed Cliffjumper’s horn on the ground where a flower was. “Arcee?”

“If Cliff's gone, standing around here sulking won't bring him back. So unless anyone minds, I think I'll get back to protecting humankind,” Arcee said, as she drove off for a little stroll.

“Optimus, helping humans will only result in more tragedy,” Ratchet said.

“Your opinion is noted, old friend,” Optimus said in agreement.

Outside the school with Sci-Twi watching, the Rainbooms had a nice chat, until they parted, allowing Fluttershy to be alone, as she took off her backpack and nuzzled with a kitten in her bag, as it purred.

Bumblebee watched from the distance and smiled underneath while in vehicle form.

The leaves from the bush rustled until Sci-Twi appeared. “Do you wanna give her a treat?” Fluttershy asked, as Sci-Twi walked over and sat on her knees. “Guess I'm not the only one to smuggle her pet into school.”

Fluttershy giggled, and then released all of her animals, “Not just one.”

“Oh, wow. All I have is Spike,” Sci-Twi said, taking her puppy out of her backpack, as he panted in excitement. Fluttershy then held Spike, “It really is uncanny. Does he talk?”

“Um, not that I know of,” Sci-Twi replied, feeling confused.

Fluttershy scratched Spike’s furry belly, “Congratulations on winning, by the way. Though, it didn't seem like anyone on your team was very excited about it.”

“No one at my school gets excited about anything they didn't do themselves,” Sci-Twi said sadly.

“That sounds awful,” Fluttershy said, until she had an idea, before walking over to Sci-Twi and holding her bunny. “Here. Hold this.”

Sci-Twi was confused as she held the bunny, “Um, why?”

“Holding a bunny always makes me feel better,” Fluttershy explained while kneeling down towards her level.

“Well, that's ridiculous. But...” The bunny then cuddled and nuzzled with Sci-Twi until she hugged him back, “Ooh. It actually kind of works. I'm on the other team and you just lost. Why are you being so nice to me?”

“You looked like you needed it,” Fluttershy said, until she started glowing in a yellow magical aura, and sprouted out her ears, wings and ponytail and started floating.

Sci-Twi gasped, “Whoa!” Suddenly, her device activated the draining process and started draining all of Fluttershy’s magic, as it opened more portals, until Spike saw a jackrabbit in front of him, before he growled and barked at the antlered bunny and chased after it.

“Spike!” Sci-Twi exclaimed, as she saw Spike jumping through each wormhole, until he got into the yellow energy beam as it started to affect him before Fluttershy held him in her arms feeling tired.

“Spike!” Sci-Twi exclaimed, as she closed her device and then went over to Spike as Fluttershy handed the puppy back to his owner while shuddering and shivering.

Sci-Twi held Spike close to her, “Spike, are you okay?”

“Um, I think so,” Spike replied, not knowing he could talked before he smiled at Sci-Twi. They suddenly screamed at each other before Sci-Twi ran off squealing, as Spike went after her, “Twilight, wait!” Fluttershy sighed in exhaustion, “Bye.”

Bumblebee then contacted Optimus to report what he saw, until his leader replied. “Bumblebee? What is it?” Optimus asked. Bumblebee then told Optimus that the energy from the yellow girl with the pink hair gave the purple glasses girl’s four legged pet the ability to talk like humans. “Are you sure?” Optimus asked. Bumblebee said “yes” in buzz bleep. “Continue your mission. We’ll join you momentarily,” Optimus said. Bumblebee replied in confirmation, until he stayed in vehicle form and watched from there.

Sci-Twi panted as Spike tried to catch up with her, “Twilight, come on! Wait for me!” Spike panted as Sci-Twi was still freaking out. “Why did you run away like that?”

“Um, oh, I don't know. Maybe it has something to do with the glowing girl, or the hole in space. Or my talking dog!” Sci-Twi replied still freaked out.

“Yeah. Weird, right?” Spike asked, scratching his left ear with his left back paw.

Sci-Twi then felt calm and kneeled towards her dog, “Are you okay? How do you feel? What happened? Where did you go?”

“Hey, one question at a time! This is pretty new to me, too,” Spike said.

“Sorry,” Sci-Twi said.

“All I know is I chased that pointy rabbit through the glowy thing and then I was somewhere else. Next thing I knew, I was back in that nice girl's arms and I could talk! I don't really understand why I couldn't before. I mean, it's so easy,” Spike explained.

Principal Cinch’s voice suddenly came, “Twilight.”

Sci-Twi placed Spike in a locker, “Quick! Hide in here!” She then closed the door and stood in front of it.

Principal Cinch then looked down at Sci-Twi, who was playing with one of the small curls on each side her hair, “Who are you talking to?”

“Um, myself. It's a nervous habit,” Sci-Twi nervously replied. “Were you looking for me?”

“Indeed I was. Quite a coincidence that the CHS students moving on to the next event are the same nice girls who were so interested in you, don't you think?” Principal Cinch commented. Sci-Twi was confused, “I'm not sure.”

Principal Cinch then thought of a solution, “Perhaps you should get to know them after all.”

“But I thought you didn't want me to,” Sci-Twi said.

Principal Cinch then explained, “Let's just say I'm covering my bases. Who knows? Perhaps they will reveal to you the secret to Canterlot High's newfound success.”

Sci-Twi felt bad for her decision, “I dunno. Spying feels kind of... wrong.”

“Well, it's your decision, Twilight. It's not as if your application hangs in the balance. On second thought, yes, it does,” Principal Cinch said, walking away, as Sci-Twi felt a crack in her heart.

Spike then came out of the locker, “Man, she's awful. What are you gonna do?”

Sci-Twi sighed, and sat down, “I don't know, Spike. I don't know.” Spike then patted her thigh with his paw.

The Rainbooms were walking down the hallway listening to Fluttershy’s story, “All I did was hand Twilight a bunny. Then I ponied up.”

“I just don't get it. Rarity's magic came out when she made us outfits. Pinkie's when she fixed the party and now Fluttershy,” Sunset said.

“And then Twilight's pendant thingy just pulled the magic right out of me. I couldn't even stand up,” Fluttershy explained.

“Like me at the party!” Pinkie Pie exclaimed.

“Or me right before we met Twilight!” Rarity said.

“So she's stealing magic?” Sunset asked.

“I don't know. She doesn't seem like the magic-stealin' type,” Applejack said honestly.

“Yeah, but she had something to do with closing the portal. If her pendant can pull in magic, maybe it stole the portal, too,” Sunset thought up.

“How?” Fluttershy asked. “I don't know. And the pony or person or princess who could help me figure this out is completely unreachable now,” Sunset replied, still disappointed that Princess Twilight hasn’t replied yet.

“Which is too bad, because Twilight knows everything about magic and portals and magical portals and portable magics!” Pinkie Pie exclaimed, until she landed outside the door with a thud.

Rainbow Dash then helped her up, “For now, let's just focus on beating the Shadowbolts. And as long as this event puts me in a playing field, I don't think we've got anything to worry about.”

Applejack pointed at the next event, which was a tri-cross relay, “Oh, it puts you on a playin' field, alright.” Pinkie Pie gasped loudly as they all saw the obstacles before them.

“Am I the only one who thinks this is overkill?” Sunset asked.

Applejack kicked the dirt with her boot, until she turned to Rarity, “I don't suppose you made motocross outfits.”

“Oh, don't be ridiculous,” Rarity said, until she started getting giddy, and revealed the motocross outfits. “Of course I did!”

Principal Cinch gave the Shadowbolts assignments in two pairs, “You will race in pairs. Indigo Zap and Sugarcoat will handle the motocross.”

Indigo Zap was excited, “Yes!”

Principal Cinch then continued, “Lemon Zest and Sunny Flare have requested the short track.”

Lemon Zest and Sunny Flare gave a high five to each other.

Principal Cinch then made one more assignment, “Since archery is a standard requirement at our school, any of you should be able to do it. Twilight and Sour Sweet will start us off.”

Sour Sweet then commented sweetly, “Well, that's just marvelous!” She then sourly commented, “If you wanna lose before we even start!”

Principal Cinch then looked at Twilight in a sternly and strict stare, “Given that Twilight won the last event single-handedly, I have every confidence that she will be able to pull her weight here. Won't you?”

Later on, the Combaticons were at a military base as it was empty and saw a couple of vehicles before them. “Okay, before we take care of those humans, we’ll need to find some way to divide and conquer, so split up and scan any vehicle form, and then we hit the road. Now, move out!” Onslaught said, as he and his team searched around the base for vehicle forms.

Onslaught scanned an anti-aircraft truck with two big cannons, Vortex scanned a Blackhawk helicopter, Swindle scanned a jeep, Brawl scanned an heavily armored assault tank, and Blast-Off scanned a space shuttle.

“Okay, now let’s carry on what Starscream wants,” Onslaught said, and then they transformed into their new vehicle modes and went off to Canterlot High, while the car Vehicons followed them on the ground with Onslaught, Brawl and Swindle, and the seeker Vehicons followed Vortex and Blast-Off in the air while tracking the energy signature of the Rainbooms’ Equestrian magic.

Back at the school, the second event of the Friendship Games was about to begin.

Dean Cadance then made the welcoming announcement, “Welcome, everyone to the Friendship Games Tricross Relay!”

The crowd of students cheered for the ceremony, until Dean Cadance began explaining the event, “In this event, our qualifying competitors will face off in archery, speed skating, and finally, motocross.” The engine revved on each motorbike.

Dean Cadance took out a airhorn, “So if the competitors are ready...” She then blew the airhorn as the competitors started. “Each competitor must hit a bullseye before their teammates can start the next leg of the relay.”

Sour Sweet and Fluttershy made it over the obstacles and swung over the rope swing, until Sour Sweet shot and scored her three arrows, until Fluttershy nervously made it over and Sci-Twi started to head over to Sour Sweet as Applejack watched, but tripped over the hay bale, and Sour Sweet growled.

Fluttershy’s arrow missed, as Sci-Twi swung over, but she didn’t have enough distance as her tipping toes could hold.

Sour Sweet growled, until Fluttershy’s second arrow made it to the target, and she smiled proudly and then Applejack was clear to go, until Sci-Twi finally climbed up onto the platform.

Applejack breathed deeply as she aimed her arrow and let it go, until it hit a bullseye, allowing Rarity and Pinkie Pie to get an early start, and the crowd started cheering.

“And Canterlot is off to an early lead!” Dean Cadance said, while Sci-Twi’s arrows kept on missing.

Sour Sweet sourly commented, “Well, that's just fantastic!”

“I'm sure glad I don't go to Crystal Prep,” Fluttershy commented. “You said it,” Applejack agreed.

Pinkie Pie felt excited as she and Rarity were in the lead, “Whee!”

Dean Cadance then spoke up, “If CPA can't hit another bullseye soon, they'll be out of this race.” Sci-Twi had tears in her eyes before she wiped them.

“You're really bad at this!” Sugarcoat rudely commented.

“Ugh! I can't take anymore!” Applejack said in a angry tone, as she handed Fluttershy her bow, and walked over to Sci-Twi. “Ya have to stop aimin' at the target.”

Sour Sweet commented in a sweetly sarcastic tone, “Oh, that makes perfect sense! Don't aim at the target! Thanks so much!”

Applejack then explained to Sci-Twi again, “Ya have to stop aimin' at where the target is an' aim at where the target's gonna be.”

Sour Sweet then spoke in the same sweetly sarcastic tone again, “Yeah! Definitely take advice from the person you're competing against!”

Applejack then looked at Sci-Twi, “Do you wanna hit the bullseye or not?” Sci-Twi nodded after sniffing the tears from her eyes. “Then trust me. Take a deep breath,” Applejack said, as Sci-Twi took a deep breath. “And let the arrow go... riiiiight.... now!”

The arrow then made it towards the bullseye and it struck the exact position. The Crystal Prep crowd cheered, as Sunny Flare and Lemon Zest went to catch up with Rarity and Pinkie Pie.

“Yeah! That's my girl!” Spike said, as he went to her for a hug. Sci-Twi then hugged Applejack instead of just saying thank you.

“See? I was tellin' ya the truth,” Applejack said, as she glowed in a magical aura of orange, and grew her pony ears and ponytail.

Sci-Twi’s device started humming, and suddenly started draining all of Applejack’s magic.

“Eh... what... are... you... doing?!” Applejack asked.

“I don't know!” Sci-Twi replied, until she landed on the dirt, before a wormhole opened and a small monstrous vine appeared.

Meanwhile, Rarity and Pinkie Pie were still in the lead while Sunny Flare and Lemon Zest were catching up. “Canterlot only has two laps to go! But it looks like Crystal Prep is making up for lost time!” Dean Cadance commented.

The Shadowbolts fans cheered for Sunny Flare and Lemon Zest, while Sci-Twi tried to get her device back while the roller skaters kept kicking it out of the way.

Rarity turned to Pinkie Pie, “Come on!” Pinkie then grabbed Rarity’s foot allowing her to give Pinkie Pie a boost, and then the Wondercolts fans were cheering.

Dean Cadance was somehow amazed, “What a finish!”

The engines revved as the four motorbike riders started the motocross relay.

Sci-Twi was suddenly grabbed by the Everfree Forest creature and struggled to break free, but screamed loudly as it roared loudly.

Rainbow Dash then made it over the ramp, “Awesome!”

The crowd was still cheering for the event, and the Everfree Forest creature roared as it still held Twilight hostage.

Rainbow Dash was shocked at how big the creature was, until she dodged the obstacles ahead of her, and the other racers. The crowd gasped at this, especially the principals.

Sugarcoat got caught by the creature’s jaws, and Indigo Zap tried to dodged it. Sunset’s bike’s tires screeched, as Sunset accidentally fell off her bike when the creature almost caught her.

The Everfree Forest creature roared at Sunset, as she rubbed her head. Rainbow Dash turned around and went to get Sunset.

Before the creature ate Sunset, Rainbow Dash grabbed her hand and lifted her up onto her motorbike.

“Dash, you saved me!” Sunset said, holding onto Rainbow’s sides.

“I wasn't about to let my friend become plant food,” Rainbow Dash said, as she began to glow with a blue aura. As she stopped her bike, she sprouted her wings, ponytail and ears.

Principal Cinch looked at Celestia in a confused look, but Celestia shrugged her shoulders smiling nervously.

Rainbow Dash was now floating with her wings flapping so she was hovering, “We can still win this!”

Bumblebee then saw Sci-Twi being held hostage by the Everfree Forest creature, and realized he had to do something, but he didn’t want to disobey Optimus’s orders.

Bumblebee then felt like regretting making contact with humans even though he had to do something, as he drove over to the creature, and then transformed into robot mode, activated his stingers, and shot a electric beam from his stingers that was holding Sci-Twi until she fell from its grasp screaming, before Bumblebee caught her in his hands and ran to somewhere safe.

Bumblebee bleeped, asking if she was okay.

“Yeah, I’m fine. I’m Twilight by the way,” Sci-Twi replied. Bumblebee said his name as he put her down, and told her to stay where she was to be safe. Sci-Twi nodded and then Bumblebee ran off to destroy the plant monster and save the students so they can finish the relay, as she watched from her hiding place, before she saw her pendant.

“What is that thing?” Luna asked. “I don’t know, but it appears to be helping our students,” Celestia replied.

While Rainbow Dash took out a few vines while Sunset and the two Shadowbolts were racing, Bumblebee blew one up coming for her. Sunset suddenly caught up with Indigo Zap and Sugarcoat, until she made it through the finish line first.

“Canterlot wins!” Dean Cadance said, until the Wondercolts fans started cheering. Dean Cadance saw Principal Cinch glaring in disappointment, “Attention, students, please proceed to the gym.”

Sci-Twi’s device kept humming, until she closed it, and so did the portals.

Bumblebee then saw her device, wondering if she made it with a few curious beeps. “I didn’t mean to,” Sci-Twi said. Bumblebee then accepted her apology and bleeped by saying that mistakes usually happen, and that she had no intention to hurt anyone.

Sci-Twi smiled warmly, “Thank you for saving me, by the way.” Bumblebee nodded, and then drove off.

Back in the stadium, the Rainbooms gathered around. “Is everybody all right?” Applejack asked.

“Better than all right! We won!” Rainbow Dash replied excitedly.

“Yeah, we won, but somebody could've been seriously hurt,” Sunset said feeling angry. “The magic is going haywire and I have no idea how to fix it!”

“Um, excuse me, I didn't mean for any of this to happen. I just wanted to learn about the strange energy coming from your school. I didn't know that it was magic or... how it works,” Sci-Twi explained shyly.

“That's okay. Neither do we,” Rainbow Dash said walking over to Sci-Twi, until her device started draining Rainbow Dash’s magic. “Oh, no! Oh, no no no! Not again!” Sci-Twi exclaimed trying to close her device.

Rainbow Dash kept struggling until she felt exhausted.

“I'm sorry! It just started absorbing energy on its own! But I'm not sure how!” Sci-Twi said.

“What do you mean you don't know how?!” Sunset asked angrily as she tried to close it, but a portal opened revealing a nighttime sky.

Principal Cinch watched from behind without them noticing.

“It also causes these corresponding rifts to appear! I don't know how that works either,” Sci-Twi said in an apologetic tone.

“Is there anything you do know?! Like how to get our magic back?! Or how to fix the portal to Equestria?!” Sunset asked angrily.

Sci-Twi was suddenly confused, “Equestria?”

“You're supposed to be so smart, but did you ever think that you shouldn't be messing around with things you don't understand?!” Sunset asked after closing Sci-Twi’s device, and then the portal closed.

“But I wanna understand!” Sci-Twi exclaimed.

“But you don't! And worst of all, you put the lives of my friends in danger!” Sunset snarled.

Sci-Twi’s voice started breaking, “I'm sorry. I didn't mean to.” She then ran off sobbing. Spike ran after her, “Twilight, wait!”

Rainbow Dash comforted Sunset after she felt bad for yelling at Sci-Twi.

As Principal Cinch made a sinister smile on what she saw and how to win the Friendship Games, Principal Celestia cleared her throat, and Principal Cinch turned around and saw not only her, but Dean Cadance and Vice Principal Luna with her as well.

“You can't possibly call that a fair race,” Principal Cinch said. “Principal Cinch, we all saw what happened. You can't think CHS had some kind of advantage,” Principal Celestia said.

“Can't I? Even without your trained attack plants, your students have wings!” Principal Cinch said.

“Well, the race certainly had some... extenuating circumstances. Perhaps we should end the games now and declare a tie,” Principal Celestia suggested.

“Principal Cinch just retorted, “A tie? Was this your strategy all along? To force us into accepting you as equals? I think not. The games will continue and Crystal Prep will prevail despite your antics and whatever performance-enhancing regimen your students are on.” She then walked away.

Sunset felt terrible about everything, “I'm sorry I couldn't stop all this from happening.”

Principal Celestia placed her hand on Sunset’s shoulder, “It's not your fault, Sunset.”

“Isn't it? I should know how to control the magic I brought here. But I don't. I let everyone down. And now Principal Cinch thinks we're cheating,” Sunset said.

“It doesn't matter what Principal Cinch thinks,” Principal Celestia said motherly.

“But it does,” Sunset said. “The students here at CHS don't just wanna win. They wanna beat Crystal Prep. It isn't gonna count if the other side doesn't really think they lost. Crystal Prep is never gonna believe we won fair and square if there's magic around. And that magic is only around... because of me.”

Bumblebee suddenly felt sorry for the way Crystal Prep was treating Sci-Twi, or being treated. While driving, Bumblebee suddenly saw two Decepticon signals behind him, until it turned out to be two Vehicons chasing him. They transformed into robot mode and aimed their guns at the yellow Autobot before Bumblebee transformed into robot mode as well, and then took them on.

The two Vehicons then saw two Stunticons named Dead End and Wildrider, as they headed for Bumblebee until they transformed and started beating him up.

“Guess we oughta finish the job,” Wildrider said, as he and Dead End were about to finish him, but suddenly Optimus, Ratchet, Jazz and Bulkhead appeared.

“Just whose misery were you two planning to put out?” Optimus asked, as Bulkhead and Jazz took out the Vehicons. “Nothing! We were just done!” Wildrider replied. “Ratchet, help Bumblebee out,” Optimus ordered as Ratchet walked over to Bumblebee. “Now, as for you the both of you!”

“Till next time!” The two Stunticons said in unison as they drove off to the Nemesis.

“Optimus, he’s still in one piece,” Ratchet said. “Just be cool, little bro, and take it real slow,” Jazz said.

Bumblebee bleeped to thank his friends for the support. “That’s what we’re here for, Bumblebee,” Bulkhead said. “Bumblebee, what happened?” Optimus asked.

Bumblebee then began beeping and told him what happened at the relay, and that he made contact with a human, meaning he disobeyed his orders.

Optimus then felt disappointed, but proud, “Bumblebee, even though you’ve disobeyed a direct order, you’ve somehow made the right decision.”

Bumblebee then told Optimus about Cinch’s behavior towards Sci-Twi and her interest in the girls’ magic, and how innocent Sci-Twi was with a few beeps.

“You saved a human?” Ratchet asked. Bumblebee nodded. “Good thinking, Bumblebee. Now, I think it’s time we’ve paid them a little visit, because they deserve to know the truth about what we’re really after and why we’re here,” Optimus said.
