Chapter 1

"Oh, my glitter," Sunny Starscout said.

She had not expected any of the things that had happened to her and her friends to happened to them today.

She and her friends were in a strange new world and currently surround by giant robots.

A few hours earlier, Equestria.

"Are you sure you know where we're going, Sunny?" asked Hitch Trailblazer as he walked over the rocky terrain.

"Of, course, she does," Izzy Moonbow replied, as she skipped along with her friends, "I don't see any reason to doubt it."

"And if worst comes to worst," Zipp Storm said, "we can just wing it."

"That doesn't sound a plan, Zipp," Pipp Petals commented, "I wouldn't even say that is a plan at all."

The group all laughed and continued on their way.

"But to answer your question, Hitch," Sunny Starscout replied, "I thought we could explore some of the unmapped area of Equestria and maybe discover something from the old days."

After a hours of walking, a strange structure came into view, it looked like nothing Sunny or her friends had seen before.

It was a giant metal ring, huge in size and circular in shape.

"Whoa," Zipp exclaimed, gazing at the massive structure before her and the others.

"What is this thing?" Hitch asked, as he, Sunny and the others continued their approach toward the structure.

"I have absolutely no idea," Pipp replied, "but this is definitely going make great content."

She wiped out her phone, turning on the camera, and pointing it at herself and speaking in an announcer tone of voice.

"What is up, Pipp-Squeaks," she declared, "we have discovered a strange and mysterious thing in the middle of nowhere, what could this structure be and who or what made it? That's what me and my friends are here to find out, I'll keep you updated, pipp, pipp and away everypony."

With that, Pipp turned her phone off and join the others as they began looking around the strange structure.

As the ponies investigated the structure, a small pair of eyes watched them as ventured inside the ring of the structure.

The eyes belonged to Kremzeek, a little imp creature made of electricity who also like to cause mischief, particularly with machinery and electrical devices.

As Sunny and her friends continued their investigation of the strange structure, which was actually one half of a device called a Space Bridge.

"I wonder who would built this?" Hitch murmured.

Sunny opened her mouth to answer, but was interrupted by a shriek as Kremzeek appeared.

"What is that thing?!" Zipp cried.

"I've got no idea," Izzy said, "but it looks kinda cute."

"Kremzeek!" the creature shrieked, quickly running around the structure and phasing in and out of it.

The structure whirred and slowly began to sound like it was turning on and a portal started to form above the five ponies.

"Sunny," Hitch said, "what's happening?!"

Before Sunny could answer, the portal above started sucking everything into it, including Sunny and her friends.

Zipp and Pipp tried to fly out of the vortex, but they eventually got exhausted and succumb to vortex's pull.

The last thing Sunny saw before she and the others were consumed by the vortex was the ring structure on the ground below them.

The next few minutes were filled with flashing colours and blurry surroundings

"Ooo," Izzy said, "pretty."

And then, just like that, it all over.

Sunny and her Friends found themselves standing in a giant rust covered cylinder shaped building with an equally rusted door, that creaked opened soon after they arrived, wherever they were now.

"Arrr," Sunny groaned, "my head."

"What happened?" Hitch blubbed, as he and others slowly got to their hooves.

Sunny and her friends noticed that they weren't in the same place, they had been in before.

"Where are we?" Zipp exclaimed.

"I don't know," Sunny replied, taking a look around at their new surroundings, "but we won't get anywhere by sitting here."

"Wherever we are," Pipp said, "hopefully, we can get back home, mum is going to be worried sick.

"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Hitch asked, "we don't know whats out there."

"Oh, come on," Izzy smiled, "I've got to think positive and look on the bright side."

"Right," Sunny nodded, "let's go everypony."

With that, the five ponies exited the cylinder and into a totally different sight before them.

An entire city, giant in size and metal grey coloured buildings as far as the eye could see.

"Wow," Pipp said, gazing around and taking in the sight before her.

"We are defiantly not in Equestria, anymore," Zipp murmured.

"This is amazing," Sunny stated, "that giant ring must have been some kind of transporter or teleporter and now we're on an entirely different world."

"I hate to interrupt your little revelation, Sunny," Hitch said, "but I think we have company."

He pointed at some strange objects that were approaching them.

"What are those things?" Pipp asked.

"I have no idea," Sunny replied.

As the objects grew closer, they suddenly began to change shape before the pony's eyes until they were towering over as giants which seemed to be made of metal.

"Oh, my glitter," Sunny said, as the metal giants looked down at them.

A few minutes earlier, Cybertron, Metroplex City, Autobot HQ

"This is strange," Preceptor, the Autobot's scientist, said, gazing at a monitor in confusion.

"Decepticons energy reading?" asked Wheeljack, the Autobot's mechanical engineer and mad scientist.

"No an organic energy reading," Preceptor replied, "five organic energy signatures just appeared near a decommissioned Space Bridge."

"That is strange," Wheeljack said, "send a team to investigate, I'll inform Optimus in the meantime."

"Roger that," Preceptor nodded, he typed a few keys on the keyboard and some pictures of Autobots appeared on the screen.

While Preceptor was gathering a team, Wheeljack proceeded to the main control centre of the base where the leader of the Autobots, Optimus Prime, was overseeing the operations of all members of their team.

"What is it, Wheeljack?" Optimus asked, as his comrade entered the control room.

Wheeljack explain about what Preceptor had discovered and that they were assembling a team to investigate.

"Interesting," Optimus said, once Wheeljack was done explaining, "once your team has found the source of the organic reading, inform me immediately of their findings."

"Right away, Prime," Wheeljack nodded, as he started leaving the room.

Meanwhile, Preceptor had assembled a small team to investigate the location where the organic energy reading had been detected.

The members of the investigation team were: Pipes, Brawn, Smokescreen, Hound and Skids.

Since Optimus Prime couldn't accompany the investigation team, he had instructed one of his closest allies, Windblade, to shadow and oversee the investigation and report back to Wheeljack with what they discovered.

"Alright," Preceptor said, once the team had been assembled and everything had been explained to them, "once you have found the source of the organic energy reading, report back to Wheeljack who will inform Optimus Prime of your findings."

"Acknowledged," Windblade replied, the other members nodding showing they also understood.

"Alright, everyone," she continued, "transform and roll out."

The Autobots complied, transforming to their alternate modes, that being various vehicles, apart from Windblade who's alt mode was a jet, after which the investigation team left the base.

Unbeknown to either the Autobots or the ponies, Galvatron, formally Megatron, the leader of the Decepticons, had also been alerted to the strange organic energy reading and had dispatched his own team to investigate.

This team consisted of: Cyclonus, Scourge, Blitzwing and Shadow Striker.

Galvatron had also instructed his second in command, Starscream to supervise the investigation. But, secretly, Galvatron had also instructed Shadow Striker to keep an eye on Starscream, as he was know to betray or backstab at the first opportunity.

"Now go, my Decepticons," Galvatron had said, "transform and rise up!"

His followers obeyed, transforming to the alternate modes, that being various types of aircraft, Cyclonus transformed into a spacecraft, Scourge into a smaller spacecraft, Starscream's alt mode being a jet fighter, Blitzwing transformed into one of his two alt modes a jet and his other mode a tank and Shadow Striker's alt mode was sports car.

Once they had transformed, the Decepticons left the base and headed in the direction of the location of the organic energy reading.

Back in the present.

"Hi, new friends," Izzy smiled.

"Arrr," Sunny said, as the Autobot looked down at her and friends, "hi, we come in peace."

"Sunny," Hitch hissed, "what are you doing?"

Sunny was about to replay, but a sudden loud noise cut her off as some more objects appeared and transformed into metal giants, these ones more menacing looking than the ones standing over Sunny and her friends.

Sunny noticed that the giants surrounding them had matching symbols on them and the giants that had just arrived had different symbols on them.

"Decepticons!" one of the giants, coloured blue and white, said,

"Back off, Autobots," one of the meaner looking giants, purple and black, snarled, "we'll be taking those organics now."

"Like heck you will," another giant, coloured orange and green, retorted, drawing some kind of weapon.

"Get the organics out of here," another giant, a female and coloured red and black ordered, brandishing a sword.

Another giant, this one coloured Blue and red, nodded transforming back into a strange object from before and opening one of its doors.

"Come with me, if you want to live," the giant's voice declared.

Sunny and her friends, seeing now other option, all piled into the object.

"Alright, everyone," another giant, this one coloured green, declared "let's go!"

The orange and green turned to another giant, this one coloured blue, white and red.

"Smokescreen, Windblade," he said, "give us some cover."

"Roger," the female giant called Windblade nodded, blasting the apposing team with hurricane force wind blasts from the wings on her back.

Next Smokescreen, transformed into his alt mode and releasing a cloud of thick smoke from his tailpipes.

After which, the other giants transformed back to alt modes and along with Sunny and friends beat a hasty retreat.

Leaving the Decepticons, blinded, confused and angry.

By the time, the smoke had cleared the Autobots were long gone.

"Idiots!" Starscream shouted, "you let those Autobots make fools of us and they got away with our prisoners!"

"Well, excuse me," Shadow Striker retorted, "you were the one who said that the enemy would give up due to our superior fire power!"

"Yeah," Scourge nodded, "if it's anyones to blame its you, Starscream."

"Silence!" Starscream demanded, "I am Galvatron's trusted second in command, I demand respect!"

"Whatever," Blitzwing said, breaking up the two before the argument could be allowed to continue, "let's just get back to Galvatron and give our report."

"He's not going to happy," Cyclonus smirked, "and as his trusted second in command I'm sure you can think of a good excuse, Starscream."

Starscream growled, he did not care to be mocked or talked down to by those he considered beneath him.

But for now, he pushed his anger aside and he prepared to face Galvatron and tell me that they had failed in their mission.

But Starscream weren't worried, because would use his deadliest weapon, his silver tongue, to worm his way back into Galvatrons good graces.

Chapter 2

Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.

Chapter 3

After traveling for a few hours, Optimus Prime, Jazz and Ironhide stopped outside a large circular building.

"We have arrived," Optimus announced, opening his truck door for the ponies to get out his cab.

"Arrived where?" Sunny asked, as she and her friends exited the truck cab.

"The Hall of Records," Optimus replied, as he transformed back into his robot mode, "the repository for all Cybertronian history, it should provide all the answers you are looking for."

"Me and Jazz will stand guard outside, Prime," Ironhide said, as he and Jazz transformed back into their robot modes, "the cons could easily ambush us here while we are away from the base."

"Thank you, Ironhide," Optimus Prime answered, "we shouldn't be gone too long."

With that, Optimus and the ponies headed inside the Hall of Records.

As they proceeded inside, they didn't notice Laserbeak, Ravage and Ratbat watched from nearby, the Decepticons had been tracking them and had found out the ponies current location.

Galvatron had been informed and had dispatched Flamewar, Slipstream, Dreadwing, Snowcat and Demolisher to randevu with them.

Inside the Hall of Records.

"Before you, my little ponies," Optimus declared, "is the full existent of Cybertron's history and culture."

"Wow," Sunny and the others all said, in unison.

As if in answer, an old looking Cybertronian stepped out from the shadows.

"Oh, visitors," he said.

Then he noticed it was Optimus Prime.

"Optimus," he greeted, "my old friend, it is good to see you after so long."

"It is good to see you, Alpha Trion," Optimus replied, "I have brought some who seek knowledge."

Alpha Trion then noticed Sunny and her friends.

"I take it you're referring to these beings?" he asked.

"Indeed," Optimus answered, "for the time being, they are stranded here and were wondering about our history with their race."

"So you came seeking the help of an old archivist?" Alpha Trion smiled.

"I knew that if anyone who could tell them about our history," Optimus responded, "it would be you."

"You are correct, Optimus," Alpha Trion nodded.

He turned and began to walk into the depths of the hall.

Optimus, Sunny and the others followed the archivist, passing by rows and rows of information storage units in the form of golden disks.

"Who is that?" Sunny asked, as Alpha Trion stopped at a one rows and pulled one of the disks off the shelves, this disk covered in symbols of the cutie marks of the Guardians of Harmony.

"Alpha Trion," Optimus explained, "is the master archivist, custodian of the Hall of Records and the keeper of all of Cybertron's history, the art, science, including our recent history as well.

"From where may I ask do you hail from?" Alpha Trion asked, "if you'll forgive my curiosity."

"Me and my friends come from Equestria," Sunny answered.

Alpha Trion smiled and nodded "I thought that something about you seem familiar, young one," he said, "your world and ours have met twice before in the distant past."

Sunny thought for a moment, "If thats true," she said, "then why isn't there any record of you in Equestria's history?"

"Patience," Alpha Trion replied, "all will revealed soon."

With that, Alpha Trion activated the golden disk, projecting images from the past around Sunny and everyone else.

The first images it showed was the beginning Cybertron and life first starting to flourish on it, leading to the Golden Age.

Megatron founding and the rise of the Decepticons, the flames of the Great War beginning to ignite.

A naive dock worker named Orion Pax and his girlfriend Ariel, being gunned down by Megatron and then being rebuilt into Optimus Prime and Elita 1 by Alpha Trion.

The Autobots being created and Optimus leading them in the fight against Megatron and his Decepticons, the Great War truly getting started.

Some of Cybertron's inhabitance leaving the planet to escape the war, leading to the birth of Cybertron's various colonies planets, Velocitron, Eukaris, Caminus, Micron, Dominus, Devisiun, Gigantion and more.

The next image showed the first meeting of the Autobots, Princess Twilight Sparkle and her friends along with their defeat of the Decepticons and Queen Chrysalis by Twilight and Optimus Prime combining the Magic of Friendship and the power of the Matrix of Leadership.

The second meeting, in which the Decepticons invaded Equestria to harvest its magic for energy and accidentally unleashed King Sombra, who mind controlled both pony and Cybertronian to conquer both worlds.

The ponies managed to convince the Autobots and Decepticons to form an alliance in order to break Sombra's mind control and free those under his control.

Once Sombra had been defeated Twilight had arranged a culture exchange between the two worlds.

For a time, both Cybertron and Equestria coexisted is perfect harmony.

Until, the Quintessons tried to invade and conquer both Equestria and Cybertron, an invasion that was successfully repelled by pony and Cybertronian

The Quintessons weren't the only ones to attempt to invade Equestria, the tyrant and scientist Jhiaxus tried to make Equestria part of his Cybertronian empire by draining its energy, exterminating its inhabitance and transforming it into a mirror image of Cybertron.

Equestria faced problems on their end when Queen Chrysalis returned alongside fellow Equestrian villains Lord Tirek and Cozy Glow to try to divide the ponies and all the different creatures of the land in order to conquer it.

The three villains were also joined by three Cybertronian despots Lord Straxus and his masters Liege Maximo and Megatronus (also known as the Fallen), two of the original thirteen Primes, beings created by the Cybertronian god Primus.

Both armies of Equestria and Cybertron, once again, banded together to defeat and or imprison the evil threatening their worlds.

The Elements of Harmony, their allies and the Autobots were victorious and peace was restored, along with reestablishing contact with Cybertron's various colonies planets and gaining new friends and allies.

But with great victory, comes great loss.

Megatron, suffering defeat after defeat, his body started to reach its limit, breaking down, but he knew couldn't let his spark extinguish yet, he wouldn't let it end until he had defeated his brother, Optimus Prime.

Thus, Shockwave rebuilt Megatron, along with a few other battle damaged Decepticons, into Galvatron, Cyclonus, Scourge and Soundblaster.

But, not all the Decepticons were lucky enough to be rebuilt into completely new forms. Shadow Striker had been rebuilt from the remains of her comrades, creating a bot with a Frankenstein-esque appearance.

The Decepticons rose again and the Great War was reignited, with Equestria caught in the middle.

An image showed injured ponies and other creatures, along with damaged Autobots looking over the destruction of their cities.

It also didn't help that another threat, other than the Decepticons, would arise within Equestria's own boarders, a mysterious alicorn began spreading mistrust and disharmony throughout all the different species and the Cybertronians.

With the Decepticons on one side and mysterious Alicorn on the other, it was eventually decided by Princess Twilight, now the ruler of Equestria, her friends, as the Council of Friendship and Optimus Prime, for Cybertron and Equestria to be separated and for magic to be removed from Equestria entirely, as they saw it, it was the only way to keep Equestria safe from any threat, be it from Cybertron or Equestria.

In Princess Twilight's eyes, if Equestria had no magic, then the Decepticons or any other threat from Cybertron would realise that Equestria had no value in anyway and the mysterious alicorn would be drained of her magic and become powerless and no longer pose a threat to ether pony or Cybertronian.

Thus, all Spacebridges between the two worlds were abandoned and decommissioned and the Unity crystals were created. After all the magic in Equestria was drained into them, the crystals were separated, each one given to one of the three pony tribes: Unicorns, Pegasi and Earth Ponies.

With Equestria no longer having magic, the Decepticons deemed it no longer of interest to them and left to continue the war back on Cybertron.

As for the mysterious alicorn, she vanished, swearing that she would regain her power, amass even more power and take her revenge on all of Equestria.

Princess Twilight had extended an offered to any Autobots or Decepticons who didn't want to continue or were tied of fighting to stay in Equestria, but Optimus had refused, in his eyes, he and the Autobots had duty to protect their home as they had protected Equestria, also because some of the citizens of Equestria, thanks to the mysterious alicorn, had started to distrust not just the Decepticons but the Autobots as well, Optimus thought it best that they no longer involve another civilisation in their war.

Optimus had also insisted that no record of them remain as that would only be a reminder of the ones responsible for bring fear, destruction and doom to Equestria.

And with that, the storage disk finished showing its contents and the images faded and the room returned to normal.

The five ponies were struggling to process what they had just witnessed.

After a while Alpha Trion broke the silence.

"That," he stated, "is the history between our world and yours."

"Whoa," Hitch murmured.

"I wish I could have got that on video," Zipp breathed.

Sunny was the next to speak, "I think there's something you should know," she said, turning to Optimus Prime.

And Sunny began explaining their story to the four.

Chapter 4

Outside the Hall of Records.

Ironhide and Jazz waited for Optimus Prime and the ponies to finish what they were doing inside the hall.

They had checked in with Wheeljack on their communicators and now the two were beginning to get bored with waiting.

Ironhide was about to say something, when he and Jazz heard the sound of jet engines and the roar of motor vehicles, follow by the sound of the sound of yodelling.

The two were on their guard, gazing all around, looking for any sign of an approaching hostile.

"I hope Prime is almost finished in there," Ironhide said, "we definitely need the backup."

"I'll call HQ and hopefully they can..." Jazz suggested, preparing to radio for assistance.

But before any of them could do anything, Ravage and Ratbat jumped the two, preventing them from attacking.

Follow by Flamewar, Snowcat and Dreadwing appearing to hold the two down, while Slipstream and Demolisher headed inside the hall.

Back inside the Hall of Records.

Sunny had just finished recounting to Optimus about how she and her friends adventure and how they had reunited the three pony tribes along with restoring magic back to Equestria and her ascension into becoming an alicorn, Sunny even showing off her new alicorn form to Optimus and Alpha Trion, who were both amazed and astonished.

Zipp, Pipp, Izzy and Hitch had also explained how much Equestria had changed since any Cybertronian had visited their world, explaining about Maretime bay, Bridalwood and Zephyr Heights.

They even explained how Equestria's culture and technology had changed, Pipp even showcasing her phone and some of her music to the two Autobots.

"If what you say is true," Optimus said, "and magic has returned to your world, then we must return you to your home before the Decepticons found out, otherwise they will seek to plunder your world for its energy and resources and will not stop until they have destroyed and conquered everything, Equestria will once again become our battleground with your kind caught in the middle."

There was a noice from outside.

"Stay here," ordered Optimus, he dashed towards the entrance leaving Sunny and co with Alpha Trion.

Unseen by anyone, Laserbeak had managed to sneak into the hall and had recorded Sunny's story, met up with Slipstream and was now making his escape back to Galvatron's base.

As Optimus headed for the entrance, he spotted the fleeing Laserbeak and tried to stopped him but he, in turn, was stopped when he was confronted by Slipstream and Demolisher.

"Going somewhere Prime?" Slipstream smiled.

"Don't bother trying to call your friends," Demolisher sneered, "Dreadwing and the others dealt with them."

"If you have hurt them," Optimus began, "I'll...."

"Relax," Demolisher continued, "they're still online, for now."

"Now be a good Autobot," Slipstream smirked, "and stand aside."

"Over my deactivated body," Optimus replied, standing his ground.

"Have it your way," Slipstream smiled, she turned to Demolisher.

"I trust you can take care of this obstruction while I continue on?" she asked.

"You know I can," Demolisher answered.

"Alright, then," Slipstream said, "have fun."

Before Optimus could stop her, Slipstream dashed past him and continued towards where Alpha Trion, Sunny and her friends were.

Optimus tried to run after the Decepticon, but Demolisher stood in his way.

"Wanna get to her?" he smiled, "you gotta go through me."

Back with Alpha Trion.

"Whats going on out there?" Zipp said, as the sounds of fighting continue from outside the room they were in.

"Have faith in Optimus," Alpha Trion replied, "he has been in battle for countless eons."

Just as Alpha Trion finished his sentence, Slipstream entered the room.

"Ah," she declared, "so this where you've been hiding."

She then noticed Sunny and her friends.

"So you're the ones Lord Galvatron sent us to get," she said, "your coming with me."

"You will not lay a finger on them," Alpha Trion proclaimed, standing between Slipstream and the ponies.

"And what can an old bot like you possibly do?" Slipstream laughed.

"Did you just call me 'old'?" Alpha Trion replied.

"Yeah," Slipstream responded, "so, what?"

"Well, young one," Alpha Trion answered, "I've always preferred the term 'experienced'!"

To everyones surprised, Alpha Trion transformed into a mechanical lion and charged at Slipstream.

The two grappled with each other with Sunny and the others watched.

"Go!" Alpha Trion cried, "get out of here!"

Sunny and her friends all bolted for the door.

Only for Demolisher to block their path.

"Knock Knock," he smirked.

Meanwhile.

Laserbeak had returned to the Decepticon's base and, through Soundblaster, had relayed Sunny's story to Galvatron.

"Well, well," Galvatron murmured, "Equestria has had its magic restored, interesting."

"Equestria?!" Starscream exclaimed, "the world of those pastel coloured four legged organics, a world such as that is beneath our notice."

Starscream was about to continue, but was silenced by an angry glare from Galvatron.

"This might just give us the edge we've been waiting for over the Autobots," he continued, "have those ponies brought to me."

"At once, my lord," Starscream replied, "I stall inform Slipstream, immediately."

"Since Slipstream seems to be having trouble," Galvatron added, "send Blackout, he should be enough to deal with the Autobots."

Chapter 5

Back at the Hall of Records.

"You four are going nowhere," Demolisher said, as he reached out to grab Sunny and her friends.

"Run!" Zipp shouted.

Before Demolisher could grab them, the four ponies ran between the Decepticon's legs towards the halls exit.

"Oh, no you don't," Demolisher said, he transformed into his alt mode, a Cybertronian anti-aircraft missile tank.

But before he could fire, Optimus leaped onto the Decepticon, throwing off his aim.

The ponies continued to run until they reached the entrance to the hall, where they were greeted Dreadwing, Snowcat and Flamewar.

"End of the line," Snowcat declared, aiming his shoulder cannons at the four.

"DON'T BLOW THEM UP, YOU IDIOT!" yelled Slipstream, she had managed to subdue Alpha Trion, push past Optimus and Demolisher and was now chasing after Sunny and her friends.

"That would be counterintuitive to our objective," Snowcat said.

The ponies continued the run for the exit, dodging the three Decepticons.

Flamewar was about to go after them, but she was stopped by Dreadwing as he pointed at an approaching object.

The object was the Decepticon, Blackout, in his alt mode of a Cybertronian aircraft, who transformed into his robot mode and descended. The ground shook as he landed, the impact causing a shockwave that blackouted surrounding electronics.

Blackout was bigger than the other Cybertronians, he towered over Sunny, her friends, the Autobots and the other Decepticons.

"What are you doing here?" Flamerwar demanded, "we didn't ask for backup."

"Galvatron has sent me to escort the organics to him," Blackout replied.

He reached for Sunny and her friends.

Like before, the ponies ran for the Decepticon's legs as his hand closed in on them, trying to use the Blackout's bulk against him, the exact move they had used against Demolisher.

Blackout reached between his legs, causing him to fall forward.

Sunny and the others continued to run but they soon heard the roar of an engine as Flamewar chased after them, in her alt mode.

Second later, Optimus in his alt mode, emerged from the Hall of Records, having dealt with Demolisher, with Slipstream quickly overtaking him in her alt mode.

Optimus drove as fast as he could, but Slipstream's jet alt mode had the edge on him in terms of speed.

"They're gaining on us," Hitch said, as the two Deceptions drew closer and closer.

"If anypony has an idea," Pipp panted, "now would be a good time."

Given the current situation, both Sunny and Zipp found it hard to think of a plan.

Suddenly, the sound of jet engines could be heard and three flying objects appeared.

One coloured white and red, the second coloured green and yellow and the last one coloured blue and black.

They were the Autobots Jetfire, Cosmos and Whirl, in their alt modes of a Cybertronian superjet, a flying saucer and a helicopter.

The three Autobot flyers laid down cover fire, allowing Optimus to catch up and causing the Decepticons to return fire.

While the flyers were keeping the enemy occupied, Jazz and Ironhide attacked from behind, providing additional support.

"Jetfire?" Optimus said, surprised.

"Wheeljack got worried when Jazz and Ironhide's coms went silent," Jetfire replied, "so he asked Teletraan 2 to alert the nearest Autobots to your position and me, Cosmos and Whirl just happened to be in the area."

Jetfire landed and opened his cargo bay doors for his comrades and the ponies to board.

"Alright, everyone" Jetfire declared, once everyone was inside his vehicle mode, "lets fly!"

Jetfire took off with Cosmos and Whirl following behind.

The Decepticons were not that easily deterred, Slipstream, Dreadwing and Blackout chased after them in their alt modes.

"Hang on, everyone," Jetfire said, "Whirl, show these cons what you do best."

"You got it," Whirl replied.

He began to flying in wild and dangerous patterns, a technic he used to psyching out his enemies and fool them into believing he was crazy.

The three Decepticon flyers fired, but because of Whirl's flying patterns all their shots missed.

Before they could fire again, Cosmos and Whirl both returned fire.

The shots weren't enough to deter the three Decepticons flyers, they rushed past the two Autobot flyers and continued to pursue the fleeing Jetfire.

The three then combined their firepower and unleashed a torrent of firepower.

Whirl and Cosmos tired their best to defend their comrade with their own weapons

Jetfire, himself, tried his best to take the brunt of the attack, but eventually the attack become too much for him.

"I can't go on," Jetfire winced, "I'm going to crash."

Whirl and Cosmos tried to support their wounded comrade, Whirl with his winch and Cosmos with his tracer beam.

But the Decepticons kept on attacking, trying to force the Autobot to crash.

"I can't hold it," Whirl said, as his winch finally broke off.

Cosmos tried his best to hold on, pushing himself to his limit, but soon the strain became too much for the Autobot to handle.

"Arr," Cosmos groaned, as he struggled to keep a hold on Jetfire and against the three Decepticons endlessly barrage to attacks, "I can't hold on, but I can't let them win."

"Cosmos," Optimus cried, "you must release your hold and return, otherwise you'll crash along with Jetfire."

"But, Optimus," Cosmos protested, "if I let go, Jetfire will crash and our new friends will be taken by the Decepticons."

"Ironhide, Jazz and myself will insure their safety," Optimus replied, "now I believe I gave you an order, solider."

Reluctantly, Cosmos released his hold on Jetfire, falling and being caught by Whirl.

"Everyone!" Optimus called, "brace for impact!"

Sunny and the others braced themselves for the inevitable impact.

Seconds later, Jetfire hit the ground, transforming back to his robot mode which in turn flung Jazz, Ironhide, Optimus and the ponies from his cargo hold.

Sunny was the first to recover from the crash, her limbs felt jelly and her ears were ringing like mad.

"Is everyone okay?" she asked.

The only answer Sunny received were groans as her friends, Jazz, Ironhide and Optimus Prime slowly regained conciseness, but before anyone or anypony could fully recover, Slipstream, Dreadwing and Blackout landed and advanced on the crash site.

Sunny tried to run but her legs were still weak from the crash, so she didn't get far before she was snatched up by Slipstream, who along with Dreadwing and Blackout took off back to their base.

Chapter 6

"Arr," Hitch groaned, as his vision cleared and his ears stopped ringing.

He looked around, seeing Zipp, Pipp, Jazz, Ironhide, Optimus Prime and the crashed Jetfire, but where was Sunny?

"Sunny?" Hitch said.

Then he suddenly noticed the three Decepticons who had been chasing them, fleeing the area.

It took a second for the answer to become clear, Sunny was gone and the Decepticons were leaving, which must mean...

"No! NO!" Hitch cried, "Sunny! Sunny!"

Meanwhile.

Sunny sat in Slipstream's cockpit, not knowing where she was being taken but terrified none the less.

After a few minutes, Slipstream along with the other two flyers touched at the Decepticon's base of operations, Darkmount.

Sunny was forcefully ejected from Slipstream, when she and the other Decepticons transform back to their robot modes.

Sunny's first instinct was to run, but she stopped when Slipstream pointed one of her signature weapons, the Null Ray at her.

"Don't," she said, "now move."

Sunny followed the other Decepticons into the base, soon enough they arrived in the throne room.

There flanked by other Decepticons was Galvatron also there was a Decepticon that looked similar to Slipstream standing near the throne.

"Welcome, my little pony," he declared, "I hope your arrival wasn't to turbulent?"

Even through, she could feel her hooves shaking Sunny swallowed her fear and plucked up courage.

"I'm not afraid of you, Galvatron," she said, "you might have me but you don't have my friends."

"What?" Galvatron said, noticing that Sunny was alone, "where are the other four?"

"Lord Galvatron," Slipstream interjected, "we were only able to get one of the organics, the others are still will the Autobots."

"No matter," Galvatron said, "all good things come to those who wait."

"Indeed," the Decepticon next to Galvatron's throne sneered, "as long as we have you, the Autobots and your friends will do everything they can to rescue you."

"Starscream is correct," Galvatron continued, "Optimus Prime and I have been at war for stellar cycles and I know all too well that his compassion for his friends and other beings will demand that he help those in need is his greatest weakness, fortunately we Deceptions have no such weakness."

Galvatron motioned to a Deception, this one coloured red.

"Knockout, Dreadwing," he instructed, "take our guest to a room and make sure she is under constant guard."

"Of course," Knockout replied, a hint bit of annoyance in his voice.

He beckoned to Sunny to follow, seeing little to no choice, Sunny followed Knockout with Dreadwing following behind in case she tried to run.

Back at the crash site.

Jazz, Ironhide, Optimus Prime and four other ponies had recovered from the crash and were now being caught up on recent events by Hitch.

"If the cons have her," Jazz said, "then we'd better get back to base and mount a rescue a rescue as soon as possible."

"This is a new low even for Galvatron," Ironhide fumed.

"Agreed," Optimus nodded, "but first we need to get the wounded immediate medical assistant."

He spoke into his communicator, "Teletraan 2, I am requesting an emergency pick up."

The robotic voice of Teletraan 2 responded, "coordinates received and locking on, Ground Bridge engaged."

"And inform our medicate team to be ready," Optimus continued, grimly, "we have a few Autobots down."

Chapter 7

Back at the Autobots base.

Hitch and the others were now back at the Autobots HQ, while Jetfire, Whirl and Cosmos were being tended to my the Autobot's medical team consisting of: Ratchet, Minerva and First Aid.

"Are they going to be OK?" Hitch asked, as the three Autobots were being treated by Ratchet and his team.

"Ratchet is the best doctor we have," Ironhide replied, "if any can help he can."

"In the meantime," Jazz said, "we need to formulate a plan to your friend back from the cons."

"You are right, Jazz," Optimus nodded, "I have no idea what Galvatron plans to do with your friend, but I do know that now Galvatron and the Decepticons know that magic has returned to your world, is now in immediate danger."

"Then we have to do something," Zipp insisted, "we to rescue Sunny and get back home."

"First things, first," Ironhide said, "you four need to stay in the base, while we assemble a team to get your friend back."

"WHAT!" all four ponies responded.

"Sunny is our friend," Pipp said.

"And if you think, for one minute," Zipp continued, flying up to look Optimus straight in the optics, "that we're going to just sit by while you save her from the Decepticons."

"You are sorely mistaken," all four ponies declared, the three ponies on the ground stamping their hooves in defiance.

Meanwhile, at the Decepticons base.

Sunny sat in her cell, waiting and wondering what the Decepticons were going to do to her.

"Just stay calm, Sunny" she told, herself, "your friends will come rescue you."

Moments later, the sound approaching metal footsteps was heard.

Right after, the cell door opened and a Decepticon, Knockout, entered the room.

"Our head scientist requests your presence," he said.

Knockout was the Decepticons' medic, weapons engineer and to his frustration, assistant to Shockwave.

Not seeing any choice, Sunny followed Knockout until they reached a laboratory, filled with various devices and jars containing coloured liquids.

Sunny noticed a few gurneys covered by sheets in the corner of the room, as well as a tarp covering a small section of the room.

At the centre of everything was Shockwave, looking over a computer.

Knockout cleared his throat, causing the scientist to look away from the computer.

Sunny gasped at the sight of the Decepticon's face, completely devoid of features except a for single red eye in the centre of the head.

"I brought you the prisoner you asked to see," Knockout said.

Sunny tried to hide her fear of Shockwave as he gazed down at her.

"Thank you, Knockout," Shockwave said, "leave us."

"Gladly," Knockout replied, a tinge of annoyance in his voice.

Knockout's contempt towards Shockwave was because he, at one point, had been the Decepticons' head scientist, but after multiple failures, Galvatron had demoted him to assistant to Shockwave. His distain wasn't just towards Shockwave but towards Galvatron, after eons of fighting, their leader's mental state had become less than stable, coupled with being rebuilt into his new form. Megatron, now Galvatron, had begun orchestrating attacks that had resulted in some Decepticons dying, two of them being Knockout's partner, Breakdown and Dreadwing's twin brother, Skyquake.

As a result, some Decepticons had begun to question their leader and if he was even fit to lead, other Decepticons remained loyal to Galvatron, simply because they didn't want the war to end, some of them craved the thrill of battle, some Decepticons couldn't conceive of a peaceful Cybertron.

It wasn't just the Decepticons, some of the Autobots were also starting to question if the war was even going to end, while others also craved the thrill of battle.

Meanwhile, back at the Autobot base.

Optimus had tried to dissuade Sunny's friends from going to rescue their friend, saying that it was too dangerous and they should remain at the base and he would dispatch a team to infiltrate the Decepticon's base and retrieve Sunny.

But Hitch and others had refused to budge and insisted that they go with the rescue team.

Optimus's attempts at arguing were quickly shut down, as the ponies were adamant about saving their friend.

"As the sheriff of Maretime bay," Hitch stated, "it is my duty to help those in danger and that includes Sunny."

"There is no point trying to stop us," Zipp nodded, "we're going to rescue our friend from the Decepticons with or without you and the Autobot's help."

Optimus tried to make one final attempt to argue, but the looks on the ponies faces told him that it was pointless.

"Very well," he said, reluctantly, "I shall organise the rescue team and then you all join me in the main control room."

Hours later, Optimus had prepared the rescue team, consisting of: Springer, Mirage, Hound, Rack 'n' Ruin, Trailbreaker, Twincast, Chromia and Roadhandler.

Optimus had appointed Ultra Magnus, leader of the Autobot commando unit the Wreakers, to lead the operation in his stead.

They were also accompanied by a young Autobot cadet named Twitch and her sister Hashtag, who's alt modes was a Cybertronian security drone and communications van.

Back at the Decepticon's base.

Shockwave had Sunny strapped to a table and had begun running various tests and experiments on her.

While that was happening, Knockout continue walking through the corridors of the base.

He was soon joined by Impactor, another Decepticon who also had mixed feeling about Galvatron's leadership.

Impactor's reason for joining the Decepticons was that he and Megatron, before he became Galvatron, were friends and he had make an oath to protect the people of Cybertron.

The oath wasn't to Megatron, the Decepticons or any other faction, but to himself.

Like Knockout and some others, Impactor had begun to question his leader's actions and orders.

"Hey," Knockout said, breaking the silence between the two, "you ever wonder why you join the Decepticons?"

"I know my reason," Impactor replied, "what you're really asking is why did you?"

Knockout was silent for a while, thinking about the good times he and Breakdown had had together, in the early days of the Equestria/Cybertron cultural exchange, him and Breakdown would make frequent trips to Equestria.

He and Breakdown had been inhabitance of the Cybertronian colony Velocitron and were drafted into the Decepticon course, when the great war reignited.

For a while, he had enjoyed being the Decepticon's medic and weapons engineer, he wasn't one for engaging in active combat, Knockout hated getting his paintwork damaged or scratched in any way.

Breakdown on the other hand, was the complete different from Knockout, he was a brute of a bot but underneath he was a kind and gentle bot, who cared about the wellbeing of his comrades.

Knockout had always admired Breakdown's sensitive and caring side, most Decepticons were ether criminals, triggerhappy psychos, sociopaths or some other kind of bad.

While this was happening Ultra Magnus, the Wreckers and the ponies were nearing the Decepticon's base.

"Alright," Ultra Magnus said, as he and the others stopped a good distance from the base and transformed from their vehicle modes to their robot modes, "everyone remember my plan?"

"What about us?" Zipp asked.

"You four will stay here until we return," Ultra Magnus answered, "no unarmed civilians should be in a potential combat zone."

Hitch, Pipp and Izzy all agreed, they didn't what to get in the Autobots way and allow them to rescue their friend.

But Zipp wasn't going to take no for an answer, "Are you serious?!"

"Is there a problem?" Ultra Magnus asked.

"You exact us to just sit here?!" Zipp continued, "while you save Sunny? Neigh way."

Ultra Magnus signed, "do all the natives on your world display the same disregard for authority?" he asked.

"No," Hitch replied, "it's just Zipp."

"It doesn't matter," Ultra Magnus said, "the answer is still no."

Zipp was about to argue back, but Ultra Magnus ignored her and turned to the Wreakers.

"Alright," he declared, "it's time to move out."

"Yeah sir," the rest of the team responded.

The Wreakers began to put their plan into action, having Hound using his projected hologram weapon to lure the guards away, then Mirage, using his Electro-disrupter, which made his invisible, to infiltrate the base with intel provided by Hashtag, using her technopathic powers, acquiring the base's layout and helping Mirage navigate the base and find Sunny.

Ultra Magnus and the rest of the team, remained behind to act as backup and support.

Like the Decepticons, some of the Autobots were beginning grow tired of the endless fighting, like the Decepticons, some of the Autobots didn't want the war to end, some of them craved the thrill of battle, some Autobots couldn't conceive of a peaceful Cybertron.

Hitch and the others hated doing nothing, but they knew that the Wreakers definitely had more experience in executing rescue missions.

Back with Sunny.

Sunny screamed in pain, she had refused to tell Shockwave anything about her world or her magic, thus the Decepticon had resorted to using a modified Cortical Psychic Patch, a tool used for viewing and extracting information from a subject's mind, in this case Sunny's mind, now Shockwave knew about Equestria, magic and the Unity Crystals.

"Fascinating," Shockwave remarked, "these Unity Crystals will provide us with an unlimited supply of energy."

He looked over at Sunny, who had passed out from the strain on her mind.

"I must inform Lord Galvatron," Shockwave declared, "this new information will turn the tides in the Decepticons favour and allow us to calm victory over the Autobots."

Leaving the unconscious Sunny, still strapped to the table, Shockwave walked out of the room, heading for Galvatron's throne room, the door closing behind him.

Sunny was left alone in the room, for a while, then suddenly the door opened, but seemingly, no one entered the room.

"Coast seems clear," Mirage said, disengaging his Electro-disrupter, becoming visible again.

"Arrr," Sunny groaned, as she slowly began to regain conscious.

"It's okay," Mirage whispered, "save your strength, I'm getting you outta here."

Suddenly, an alarm sounded.

Soundblaster had detected Hashtag's hacking, informed Galvatron and sounded the alarm.

"Oh, for Primus sake," Mirage groaned, "Looks like we have to burn rubber and fast."

Mirage quickly transformed into his alt mode, a race car, and placed Sunny in his driver seat.

Once Sunny was strapped in, Mirage raced out of the lab.

The alarm continued to blare as the two made their escape.

There was some resistance, but Mirage smashed through and continue onwards, heading for the exited.

A few Decepticons tried to chase after Mirage from behind, but were foiled by the Autobot's Electro-disrupter, using it to create holographic decoys to confuse the enemy.

Finally, Sunny and Mirage made it out of the base and back to the others.

"Right," Ultra Magnus stated, "lets move and get back to the base."

"And fast," Chromia agreed, "the cons will be on us like Scraplets, if we don't move it."

"Roger," the other Autobots responded.

"Teletraan 2," Ultra Magnus said, speaking into his communicator, "this is Ultra Magnus, requesting a ground bridge back to the Autobot headquarters."

"Affirmative," the voice of Teletraan 2 answered, "locking on to your coordinates."

Seconds later, a ground bridge portal opened.

"Alright, everyone," Ultra Magnus said, "transform and follow me."

Ultra Magnus into his alt mode, that being an armoured transport truck, and the others all transformed into their alt modes, Mirage quick transformed to his robot mode and handed the unconscious Sunny to her friends afterwards he changed back to his alt mode.

Hitch, the rest of Sunny's friends and Sunny herself, all piled into Ultra Magnus's cab, with the Autobots parking themselves on Ultra Magnus's truck trailer, with Chromia and Springer providing air and ground support.

Once everyone and everypony was loaded Ultra Magnus drove at full speed through the ground bridge.

Moments later, the Decepticons rushed out the base, only to see the enemy fleeing the area.

Hours later,

Sunny had been placed in a recovery machine, her friends, Optimus and Ratchet watched from the sidelines.

For a while nobody and nopony spoke.

"So," Zipp said, eventually "what now?"

Ratchet didn't answer immediately, "I can't say," he responded, "it is too soon to know."

"You need not worry," Optimus stated, "rest assured, we will do everything within our power to help your friend."

"Might I have a word, Optimus?" Ratchet replied, "in private."

The look on the medic's face, told Optimus that it was serious.

Optimus nodded, he turned to Hitch and the others.

"Would you excuse us," he said.

Without another word, Optimus and Ratchet headed for a secluded part of the Autobot base.

"What is troubling you, old friend?" Optimus asked, once the two were alone.

"I do not know if there is anything I can do for Sunny Starscout," Ratchet answered, "in all the years when Cybertron and Equestria were open to each other, in all the years exploring their culture and history," his voice began to shake, "I learned little of their science or medicine."

Ratchet looked defeated and powerless, until Optimus placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Have faith, old friend," he said, his voice filled with optimism and hope, "those ponies may not look it, but like those who came before them, they are a strong and proud race, when our races mingled I saw them through many struggles, many journeys, but like all great creatures sometimes they need help and that help was from each other or us."

Chapter 8

Back with the ponies, they all watched and waited for their friend to wake up.

Hitch noticed that Izzy was awfully quiet.

"Everything okay?" he asked.

Izzy grabbed her friend in a tight hug, Pipp doing the same to her sister. When Izzy spoke her voice her shook, as she was trying hard to hold back her tears.

"I don't want to stay here," she said, "I wanna go home."

"It's okay," Hitch replied, putting a comforting hoof on Izzy's shoulder, "Sunny will be okay, our new friends are doing everything they can to help her."

Meanwhile, inside the recovery machine something was happening within Sunny Starscout's mind.

Sunny jerked awake, she in a realm that was unfamiliar to her.

Everything looked very ethereal and shrouded in flog.

"Hello," Sunny called, "can anypony hear me?"

Suddenly, a terrifying thought crossed her mind.

"Am I dead?" she said, trying to remain calm.

"You need not fear, Sunny Starscout," a loud booming voice replied, "you are not dead, merely sleeping."

Sunny jumped slightly, but quickly recovered.

"Okay," she replied, "but then if I'm sleeping, what is this place?"

In answer, there bright flash of light, the sound of thunder and nine Cybertronians appeared before her.

They were The Primes, ancient Cybertronians created at the dawn of time by Cybertronian's god, Primus.

The Primes consisted of: Prima, Vector Prime, Solus Prime, Micronus Prime, Alchemist Prime, Nexus Prime, Onyx Prime, Amalgamous Prime and Quintus Prime.

Sunny stared up as they looked down at her.

"Welcome, Sunny Starscout," Prima declared, "to the Realm of the Primes!"

Sunny was so in awe that she almost forgot herself.

"But why am I here?" she asked, eventually.

"Because there is something coming," Micronus Prime answered, "something evil, something dark, something that will threaten both Cybertron and your home."

"What is it?" Sunny asked, "how can me and my friends do to stop it?"

"Only the power of the Matrix of Leadership and the Elements of Harmony can destroy this evil," Prima replied.

"But," Sunny said, "the Elements of Harmony are gone, Twilight and her friends are long gone."

"Not exactly," a voice answered,

From nowhere, another figure appeared, this one equine in shape with wings, a horn and a flowing mane.

Sunny's jaw practically hit the floor, she instantly recognised who the newcomer was.

"Princess Twilight Sparkle?!" she exclaimed.

"Hello Sunny," Twilight replied, smiling at Sunny reaction, "I hear you and your friends brought magic back to Equestria and reunited the three pony tribes."

"You saw all that?" Sunny asked.

"Indeed," Twilight nodded, "and I must say, I couldn't be more proud that my legacy has passed to such a great group of friends."

Sunny suddenly remembered what Twilight had said earlier.

"Wait," she said, "what did you mean when you said, the Elements of Harmony weren't exactly gone?"

"Well," Twilight replied, "while it is true that me and the rest of the bears of the Elements are gone, the Elements themselves have merely changed taking on new forms."

She looked into Sunny's eyes and smiled.

"Those forms are you and your friends," she said.

"Me and my friends are the bearers of the Elements of Harmony?" Sunny breathed.

"Indeed," Twilight answered, "Though I suppose you could call them the Elements of Unity, you and your friends embody the elements of Creativity, Kindness, Bravery, Courage, Hope and Heart."

"But," Sunny replied, "there are only five of us and there six elements."

"There is still one last element bearer," Twilight responded, "once the sixth bearer has joined you then you will have the strength to face what is coming."

"And what is that?" Sunny asked.

"It's name is....." Prima answered.

"Arrr," Sunny groaned as she regain conscious.

"Sunny!" Hitch cried, as he and the others rushed into the medical room.

Fixit, a Autobot Micromaster medic, ran to alert Ratchet and Optimus Prime about Sunny's recovery.

Because the war with the Decepticons had gone on so long, both sides had had to resort to drastic actions as the resources of their home began to dwindle and thus the Micromasters were created.

Micromasters were slightly smaller than normal Cybertronians, about the size of pony, they were a creation of the Wheeljack as a way to conserve fuel.

While the Autobots were the originators of the Micromasters, the Decepticons had copied the process and manufacture their own Micromasters.

Both sides had even taken the process further by creating Micromasters combiners, transformers that were born with their sparks bonded in pairs, each transforming into one half a vehicle.

Most of the Micromasters had left Cybertron when the war restarted, some had chose to remain behind.

Their was also an offshoot of Micromaster, the Mini-cons, these were small Cybertronians who had the ability to combine with the bigger Cybertronians, granting them a power boost and additional weapons.

Once Optimus and Ratchet had been notified, they joined Sunny and the others in the medical room.

Sunny explained what had happened to her, her meeting with the Primes and Princess Twilight, but before she could tell Optimus the name of the dark threat coming for them, an explosion rocked the base.

"What was that?" Hitch asked.

Just then, a slightly smaller Autobot came running up, he was Bumblebee, the Autobot's youngest member and their top espionage agent.

"Optimus, the Decepticons are launching an attack on the base!" he stated.

"They must have tracked you somehow," Ratchet said.

All eyes fell on Pipp, more importantly her on her phone.

Soundblaster had been able to sense the signal given off by Pipp's phone and used it to track Sunny back to the Autobot's base.

"We have to get you all out of here," Optimus Prime instructed, "now!"

"But," Sunny said, "what about....?"

"We can worry about that later," Ratchet insisted, "right now, we need to get you away from the cons."

"Indeed," agreed Optimus, "once you all are safely back to your world we will destroy the Space Bridge on our end."

"But the Primes said we had to be united against the coming threat," Sunny said, "we can't just leave you, we will fight with you."

"WHAT!?" Hitch and the others all collectively exclaimed.

"Out of the question," Optimus stated, "as long as you remain here, the Decepticons will never stop haunting you and your world will always be in danger."

"He's right Sunny, what are we supposed to do?" Hitch asked, "they're giant robots and we're little pony how are we supposed to fight them?"

"I might have a solution," said a voice

The voice belonged to Wheeljack, he had overheard the conversation and had entered the room.

"What do you mean?" Zipp asked, "how can we fight alongside you guys without being squished."

"Follow me," Wheeljack replied, "I think I might have just what you need."

The five followed Wheeljack until they reached the Autobot's lab.

Unlike Shockwave's lab, the place clean and inviting with everything organised though it was a tad bit messy.

"So what is this thing that supposed to help us?" Sunny asked.

"I never thought we'd need these again," Wheeljack responded, as he proceeded into a small storage area, "good thing I kept them, sentimentality and all that."

He returned, with five exo suits, made specifically for ponies to use.

The suits had some familiar cutie marks on them, the cutie marks of Twilight Sparkle and her friends.

"These are transfoming exo suits," Wheeljack explained, "I made them for Twilight and her friends, they'll allow you to fight on our level, so to speak."

"Cool," Zipp remarked, as she looked over the suit with Rainbow Dash's cutie mark.

"So when we put these on," Sunny said, "we'll be able to transform just like you?"

"Indeed," Wheeljack replied.

"But we will not force you," Optimus added, "it is your choice, this is our war not yours."

"My dad used to tell me stories," Sunny responded, "stories about Princess Twilight and her friends, how they would never turn their backs on friends in trouble, you're our friends and friends look out for each other, my friends and I will stand with you."

She turned to Hitch and the others, "right?" she asked.

Hitch and the others all nodded, they were behind Sunny hundred percent.

"Alright, everypony," Sunny smiled, "let's suit up and roll out."

With that, Sunny and her friends put on the exo suits, Sunny putting on Twilight's suit, Hitch putting on Applejack's, Izzy putting on Pinkie Pie's, Zipp putting on Rainbow Dash's and Pipp putting on Rarity's.

The suits automatically adjusted and reconfigured themselves to accommodate their new wears, even changing their colours and cutie marks to match their new wears.

"Wow," Zipp said, looking over her new look, "I make this look good."

"This is gorgeous," Pipp commented, "but it could be a little bit for stylish."

"I could get used to this," Hitch smiled.

"I think it could use glitter," Izzy stated, "lots of glitter."

"Right," Sunny declared, "we're ready."
