EQG: Transformers Shattered Glass: Story #1: Rise of the Seekers

Previously in Transformers: Shattered Glass, Cybertron has fallen. The ongoing war between the heroic Decepticon Freedom fighters and the Tyrannical Autobot Imperium rages on. After retrieving some of their captured comrades. Megatronus Prime, Leader of the Decepticons, assigns The Decepticon Seekers, led by Air Commander Starscream, on a mission to a far-away planet known as Earth. A planet where an ancient map revealed the location of the All-Spark. Now, the Seekers set off in their starcruiser, the Equinox, as they headed towards this unknown planet. In the meantime, each seeker would remain at Stasis for many centuries.

(5 Million Years Later, in Present-Day Earth)

The Equinox had been spending the last many centuries floating through the vacuum of space. However, as it was floating towards the planet called Earth, the Equinox was then hit by an asteroid, which was then pulled into Earth's atmosphere.

However, before then, the Equinox launched the stasis pods that the Seekers were housed in so that they would land safely and away from where the Equinox would crash, but also in places that were far away from civilization.

Phoenix, Arizona, is in the Sonoran Desert.

Both Red-Wing and Hotlink's Pods landed close to one another in the Sonoran Desert near Pheonix, Arizona.

"Yawn, good morning, everycon," Red-Wing said in a groggy voice as she stretched her arms and legs.

"Hello, Red-Wing," Hotlink murmured in a tired voice. "How long were we snoozing?"

"Centuries, I think," Red-Wing replied. "So, this is the planet that Commander Starscream was talking about, the planet called Earth."

"So, the All-Spark is lying around this planet somewhere," Hotlink said. "The question is, where do we start looking for it?

"Let's not worry about the All-Spark right now," Red-Wing stated. "First, we'll need to scan new alternate modes based on this planet's vehicles."

"Aw man, I'm going to miss my Cybertronian Jet-Mode," Hotlink said. "Well, the first question is, where will we find new vehicle modes?"

Suddenly, Red Wing and Hotlink heard a sound coming from their right as they saw five grey Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II fighter jets fly past them.

"Ooh, I like those wings. I hope the inhabitants of this planet don't mind if we borrow the look and make a few adjustments," Red-Wing said as she and Hotlink proceeded to scan two of the fighter jets.

Once this was done, both RedWing and Hotlink transformed into Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II fighter jets, but with RedWing's signature red with gold stripes and Hotlink's signature purple with pink stripes.

"Hey, Redwing, why didn't you just use the grey color that the other jets had?" Hotlink asked.

"Because I do not like Grey. Grey is dull, it's tacky, it's boring, and it is not my favorite color, and I want to be red," RedWing said as the two seekers flew off.

"I heard from Thundercracker that the Lawmakers and Coptercon's are on this planet too," Hotlink stated.

"Aw, good. We'll need all the help we can get," RedWing said.

Suddenly, Redwing and Hotlink got a blip on their com-links, which was a message sent by Soundwave in his satellite alt-mode.

"All Decepticons, this is your next order; meet up near the city designated as Canterlot City and find the whereabouts of the All-Spark," Soundwave commanded.

"You heard Soundwave; let's randevu with the other Decepticons at Canterlot City," Red-Wing said as they both soared towards the designated area.

After Soundwave sent his message, he would then eject Rumble, Frenzy, Ravage, and Ratbat to meet with the other Decepticons on Earth. As a result, Rumble and Frenzy would meet up with Barricade and the Lawmakers, Ravage would meet up with the Combaticons, and RatBat would soon meet up with Redwing and Hotlink as they were flying above the Amazon Jungle, now joined by Ion Storm, who scanned a Grumman F-14 TomCat, Acid Storm, who scanned a McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Super Hornet, and Nova Storm, who had scanned a General Dynamics F-15EX Eagle.

Eventually, Redwing and Hotlink would meet up with the rest of the seekers, with Sunstorm who had scanned an F-5N Tiger II, Bitstream who had scanned a General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon, Lugnut who had scanned a B-25J Mitchell, Blitzwing who had scanned both a McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom Jet and a Mitsubishi Type 74 Assault Tank, as he was part of the Triple-Changer Program, and Commander Starscream, ThunderCracker, and SkyWarp, who had all scanned Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor's.

The Seeker's would then meet up with the Coptercon's with Blackout, who scanned a USAF MH-53 Pave Low; TopStalker (Wallflower Blush), who had scanned a CH-53E Super Stallion Combat Helicopter; Phasershot (Juniper Montage), who would have scanned a UH-60 Black Hawk; FlashBang (Flash Sentry) would have scanned a SH-60 Sea Hawk; and TimberWhack (Timber Spruce), who would have scanned a HH-60 Pave Hawk.

The Decepticons on Earth decided to keep a low profile and watch from afar, as the Seekers would join up with the Primary Construction team, consisting of Mixmaster, Long-Haul, Payload, Scrapper, Rampage, Scavenger, Overload, Hightower, Buckethead, and Scrap Metal, who could combine to become Devastators. The Secondary Constructicon team—Demolisher, Skipjack, Hook, Gravedigger, Scoop, Trample, Tread, Quickmix, Hauler, and Miner—could combine to make a secondary combiner named Constructor.

As per orders, Starscream, the rest of the seekers, and the other Decepticons on Earth would keep a watchful eye on the humans while being sure not to notify them of their presence.

(5 years later, during the events of the 1st Equestria Girls movie).

Sunset Shimmer was walking home to her apartment, sneering at herself at how the crown of Equestrian Princess Twilight Sparkle and her rise to glory in Equestria was in her grasp, only for Principal Celestia to take it away as a prize for the Fall Formal.

"Dammit, if that wasn't bad enough, now Princess Celestia's new favorite student, Twilight, is here," Sunset snarled as she spat her old mentor and Twilight's names with venom.

"Gee, I wonder how long it took for Celestia to replace me," Sunset roared. "A month, a week even—if she loved me, then she would've done everything in her power to bring me back!"

"I could see it all in her eyes; I knew how much she feared me and how jealous she was of me because she thought of me as a replacement for her precious sister, Luna," Sunset snarled as her rage only intensified.

"DAMN IT ALL!!!" Sunset roared as she kicked a nearby bush in a fit of rage. However, when she kicked, her foot touched something solid, which made Sunset stub her toe.

"OW FUCK!" Sunset screamed in utter fury as she looked back at the shrub.

As she stared, she saw a blue light emanating before a blue wave of energy sent Sunset flying.

The wave of energy only lasted for 10 seconds before it faded away.

"What in Equestria was that?" Sunset muttered.

Then, as Sunset looked behind the bush, she saw a strange cube-looking object with several strange markings and scriptures on it.

"Wow, it looks really valuable," Sunset snickered. "I bet no one would mind if I stole it. This weird cube is now mine like Princess Twilight's crown will eventually be."

However, Sunset was not only aware that her cell phone, which was affected by the cube's energy, had transformed into a new House Fly-like Decepticon named Wi-Fi and scurried away to hide but as she was entering her apartment room, she was also being watched by an upside-down RatBat, who had sent out a signal to all nearby Decepticons about the All-Spark's location.

(In Space)
Meanwhile, while circling Earth's orbit, Soundwave relayed Rat-Bat's signal.

"All-Spark Located," Rat-Bat responded.

"Sound-Wave acknowledges, RatBat. Decepticons, we have located the cube," Soundwave stated. "Starscream, mobilize your Seekers and protect the humans who have the All-Spark. If my suspicions are correct, there are Autobots on this planet also looking for the All-Spark."
(Everton City Military Base)
"Acknowledged, Soundwave," Starscream replied.

Starscream then sent out a communication to the rest of the seekers. "This is Air Commander Starscream, all Seekers. Mobilize."

(Canterlot City)
"Skywarp, reporting in," Skywarp said.

"Thundercracker, in pursuit," Thundercracker stated.

"Red-Wing, standing by," Red-Wing (Cybertronian Sunset) stated.

"Hotlink, calculating the threat level," Hotlink (Cybertronian Sci-Twi) stated.

"IonStorm, ready to rumble," IonStorm (Cybertronian Indigo Zap) replied.

"AcidStorm, ready for action," AcidStorm (Cybertronian Lemon Zest) replied.

"NovaStorm is prepared to fight," NovaStorm (Cybertronian Sugarcoat) said.

Sunstorm, ready to kick Autobutt and take names," Sunstorm (Cybertronian Sour Sweet) remarked.

"Bitstream, Soaring," Bitstream (Cybertronian Sunny Flare) stated.

"Blitzwing, ready for combat," Blitzwing stated.

"Lugnut, incoming," Lugnut stated. "Glory to Megatronus Prime and the Decepticon Freedom Fighters."

"Good work, Seekers," Starscream stated.

Suddenly, Starscream got a transmission from Redwing.

"Commander Starscream, my scanners are picking up an AutoBot parade," Redwing stated. "It's Bumblebee, Ironhide, Ratchet, Jazz, SideSwipe, Jolt, and CliffJumper."

"Hey, leave Ironhide for me," Lugnut said. "I've been waiting for my rematch since our last one-on-one."

"Hold it, Lugnut; we are not here to fight," Redwing stated. "Our mission is to bring All-Spark back safely. We're trying to have human casualties be as low as possible."

"Brawl, keep Ironhidebusy," Redwing commanded.

"I got it," Brawl said as he headed towards Ironhide.

"Sideways, stall Bumblebee," Redwing said.

"I'm on it," Sideways replied as he raced towards Bumblebee.

"Mixmaster, Scrapper, keep Jazz and Sideswipe distracted," Redwing stated.

"Rodger," Mixmaster and Scrapper replied.

"Bonecrusher, Barricade, Lawmakers, Get the humans known as Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle to safety," Redwing ordered.

"Right away," Bonecrusher said as he, Barricade, and the Lawmakers raced towards Sunset, who had the All-Spark in her hands.

Just as Sunset was about to cross through one of the highways, she was cut off by Bonecrusher, Barricade, and the Lawmakers.

Just as Princess Twilight had gotten to Sunset, as she wanted to know where the crown was, Splicer (Cybertronian Spike) opened his left door.

"Twilight Sparkle, come with me if you want to live," Splicer said as Twilight got in. "Oh, I've always wanted to say that."

However, Sunset wasn't as obedient, but before she could run away, Bonecrusher grabbed her with his vehicle-mode claw arm and threw her into the passenger seat before closing the door and driving away.

"HEY, THIS IS KIDNAPPING. Don't you know who I am? You'll regret this," Sunset roared.

"HEY FLESHY, SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP, OR I'LL PUT MY LASER CANNON RIGHT UP WHERE YOUR PLANETS SUN DOESN'T SHINE," Bonecrusher bellowed, which made Sunset keep quiet for the remainder of the drive.

The lawmakers had the humans, RainbowDash, Fluttershy, Applejack, Rarity, and Pinkie-Pie with them.

Bonecrusher, Barricade, and the Lawmakers then drove back to their secret base in a military bunker, along with Starscream, the rest of the Seekers, and the Coptercons.

Then, as they all parked and landed, Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow-Dash, and the rest of the Rainbooms got out of their respective rescuers. While Sunset was forcefully let out by Bonecrusher, who snickered a little,

After this had happened, all the Decepticons transformed out of their vehicle modes and into their robot modes.

The humans and the two equestrians were all astonished by what they were witnessing.

Starscream then leaned towards Sunset and said, "Are you Sunset Shimmer, a descendant of Sunrise Shimmer?"

"Yeah, what's it to you?" Sunset asked defiantly.

"My name is Starscream. We are mechanical and intellectual beings from the planet Cybertron, made for deception and reconnaissance," Starscream said.

"But you can call us Decepticons for short," Red-Wing said.

"We Decepticons are sometimes by ourselves, but for some, they are fashioned into specialist teams," Starscream said. "First are our builders, The Constructicons, led by MixMaster; our military regiment, The Combaticons, led by Onslaught; and our espionage and speed team, the Stunticons, led by MotorMaster."

"Then there are the Lawmaker's, led by Barricade," Starscream stated. "Then come the Coptercons, led by Blackout, and finally there are the Seekers, led by myself."

"Wait, why are you telling us all this, and why did you come to this world?" Princess Twilight asked.

"I'm here to tell you that this world is now in grave danger, and your lives are about to change forever," Starscream stated.

Meanwhile, near the crash site of the Equinox in the Gulf of Mexico,

A team of archeologists was investigating the strange ship when they saw a strange meteor crash near their position.

"What was that?" the head archeologist said. "Let's go and investigate that crash."

However, before they could do anything, a giant mechanical figure arose from the watery depths.

"BOW BEFORE YOU NEW AUTOBOT MASTERS, HUMAN INSECTS," Optimus Cron roared as he killed each of the archeologists with his energon cannons. "FREEDOM IS YOUR RIGHT TO DIE! BY ORDERS OF YOUR NEW MASTER, OPTIMUS CRON!! I SHALL RISE, AND ALL WHO STAND AGAINST ME SHALL FALL!!!"
