The royal cousin
Catching up for old times sake
Previous ChapterCatching up for old times sake
Four carriages could be seen driving out of the gigantic airship.
The front one: a large red and blue vehicle, adorned with flames painted onto it.
The second: a seemingly smaller one. This one was a metallic red color.
The third: a yellow one with black stripes and a net on one side.
The fourth vehicle was a metallic grey one, without a roof.
The last one was a neon green with the inscription: E4 on the sides.
All had lights coming from them, and drove to the princesses.
The lagest one stopped just a few hooves from the platform the princesses stood on.
"Orion Pax, is that you?" Celestia asked.
"It has been a long time, Tia." It responded with the deep voice that could be heard before.
All lights on the front carriage had gone out.
As if on signal, the large vehicle seperated from itself, forming a giant biped with the same parts.
"I see that you have been promoted, both of you." Orion said.
"Yes. Indeed." Luna responded with a smile.
"I look forward to catching up with you, Orion. But I have a sun to rise." Celestia said with a calm tone.
"Do not let us stop you." Orion said while moving to the side.
Twilight could not believe her eyes: a giant biped, the nephew of the rulers of Equestria. She had nothing to say, but much to ask.
The sun goddess spread her wings, and floated in mid-air. With her horn glowing, she rose the sun.
With the sun up, a new creature stepped out of the smaller red carriage.
"That was one fancy show, your highness." It said.
All looks were pointed at him.
He wore a black tuxedo with a bow-tie.
"But I doubt you did that... ma´am." He said with a smug tone.
"I am sorry, and you are?" Celestia responded, offended by its rude remark.
"I am agent Seymore Simmons, Sector Eight, former Sector Seven."
The princesses shot an angry glare at Simmons.
"I suppose it would be wise to shut up, human." The red vehicle said. "These horses look like they could kill you."
"Mirage, what did I tell you about not calling them 'ponies'." Orion said.
"I am sorry, Optimus. But you know how I dislike organics."
"Optimus?" The two alicorns tilted their heads.
"Like we both said, it has been a long time." Optimus smiled sheepishly.
"How about we discuss it with a nice cup of tea?" Twilight interrupted.
"I could not agree more, Twilight Sparkle." Luna said, still suprised by the sudden name change.
The princesses, Autobots and human sat in the Canterlot statue garden.
"So tell me, how did your name change, Orion Pax?" Celestia asked her cousin.
"It is a long story, Celestia." He responded.
"We have the time." She said.
"It all began when Megatron decided he wanted to join politics."
"Megatron? Politics?" Luna could not hide her laughter, while spitting her tea right in Simmons his face.
"His ideas were everything the council was against... he asked my opinion on the spot, and he did not agree.
He collected all of his supporters and former opponents in the arena, and he called them: Decepticons.
His army destroyed many cities, including Iacon and its library.
It was that day, I proved myself in battle and leadership of an army. Although it was a small group of citizens, some say it was my leadership that kept them alive, and repelled the attack.
Tthe council wanted me to take over for our former leader: Sentinel Prime."
"I find it hard to believe that you were able to fight." Celestia said dumbfounded.
"This sounds just like the changeling attack at the wedding." Twilight said. "Like you taking on their Queen."
Simmons suddenly burts out in laughter and all eyes and optic sensors were pointed at him.
"Why are you laughing?" Optimus asked.
"Who could have thought that a grown man *snort* would be *snort* drinking tea with ponies, inna *snort* land of magic and castles... hahaha!"
Bumblebee picked him up and hung his blouse at a statue.
While everyone else was talking about the wedding and the developments of the war, the statue was thinking.
"I think this hairless ape could be my way out of here."
