Transformers prime MLP To Save Equestria part 11

Equestria Canterlot palace. One Hour after the invasion.

Tears filled Fluttershy's eyes as she, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Pinkie and Soaring came upon their devastated home. A number of buildings had been crushed. Several statues had been destroyed. While no one had bit the big one(Hey half this crossover's a kid's show) Many were hurt. Dr Hooves and Zecora had their hooves full with all the wounded. Not wasting anytime. They spread out to search for their friends and Families.

Applejack saw her Grandmother and raced up to her. "GRANNY!" She cried. Her Grandmother threw her forelegs around her, weeping. "Granny, Where's Mac, Where's Bloom?" "I don't know." Weeped Granny.

===============================================

Big Mac rubbed the sleep from his eyes as he came to. "What happened?" He asked. "How long I been out?" He trotted out of the brush that Ironhide had his him in and was shocked at what he saw. The entire area was scorched battlefield littered with pieces of Busted Decepticon arms, legs and everything else. What Changeling were still around had been knocked into a coma. Big Mac had always been one for Bravado but he had never seen a war zone. Ironhide really showed.."OH NO!" Big Mac shouted. Where was Ironhide? He called out his name until he saw the horrible sight. Ironhide was lying on the ground he was still alive. But he had multiple holes shot and tore into him. Sparks were flying from his wounds and he was missing a leg. Mac Galloped up to his Autobot friend's face. "Ironhide...Speak to me." He begged. "Hey..Macky Boy.." Ironhide's voice was strained. His words to effort. "Thought they had me licked..Sure showed..Them eh."

Big Mac had never been so distraught. He had only know Ironhide a few days and he was one of the greatest guys he met. He taught so much about what it really meant to be tough. He was Not about to give up on him. "Listen..Listen Ironhide! I'm gonna get ya help. You alright."  Oh But Ironhide knew without Ratchet's help and proper equipment he didn't have much of a chance, But still, "I.. had worse." Ironhide joked. "Look..Macky boy..There's bound to be more out there..I'm Dead weight now..Save..Your.. "NUH UH!" Big Mac declared. "I Ain't Quit Ya! I AIN'T QUITTING YA!" Mac had his horse collar on, so he had an idea. Grabbing some of the dead wires from the downed Cons, He used them as ropes to hitch to Ironhide and his collar and with all his strength, Started pulling him back to the village. Ironhide was big and the weight was massive. But Mac did NOT Care.

========================================

During a fierce battle with Dreadwing, Wheeljack realized that keeping The CMC safe was more important then settling the score with Dreadwing. So with a little ingenuity, He managed to make it look like Dreadwing offed him. (Author will return to this later.)
=================================================================

The site of The Twins battle with Bruticus

KABOOM.

The explosion opened up the entrance to cave The Twins, Snips, Snails and Trixie were trapped in after the nasty little run in with Bruticus. The The two bot Brothers and their pony homies climbed out and slid down the side. "We in there for Three Hours and Just Now you remember you got a grenade?" griped Skids. "Sorry Man I forgot!" whined Mudflap. "You mind keeping quiet?" Trixie griped. "Those goons could still be around." Trixie dusted herself off. Her cape and wizard's hat were a mess, But what was more important was that they were all alive.

Skid tried getting i touch with Optimus and the others again but it was no use. "Man What is Going on here? We're Still being jammed!" As he and Mudflap grumbled over a solution Snails noticed something in the sky. "Duuuuh. Why is That shooting star all slow and beeping?" The twins looked up to see what the little dope was talking about and saw what he was talking about. Hover above them was a small orbiting sattilite like device. Using telescopic vision they could see it was a jamming device. No need to think of what to do next. BLAM. Skids shot it out of the sky. "YEAH THAT'S RIGHT! Mo THOS. Cut off our lines will Ya?" Mudflap tried getting through to some of the other Autobots again and This time they got through to Wheeljack.

"You two Goobs eh." Wheeljack joked over the comlink. He listen to the Twins story with the CMC on his shoulders watching with interest. "Trapped in a cave eh. Well probably for best but at least you guys got a few shots in. Yeah, Yeah. Shot it out of the sky? Good but I still can't get through to the others." That meant They must have been taken to The Nemesis where communication was still being blocked. Wheeljack had driven crazy since getting to Equestria, But he wouldn't wish the Decepticons on anybody. "OK No choice. We're gonna have to regroup back at the palace. I'll see you there. Wheeljack out." Wheeljack turned to Applebloom, Sweetiebelle and Scootaloo and transformed to Car mode. "OK Girls. Hop in. I better get you home." "What's going on Uncle Jacky?" Applebloom asked as she and her friends hopped into the back. "Obviously You had more unexpected guests then Twilight realized." Wheeljack said grimly. For all his complaining, He never really wanted for the ponies to have be dealt the Decepticons.
======================================================================

Celestia lay in her bed as Luna and Candence tried various healing spells on her. It was slow but it was working. They had done what they could but now they had to let her heal on her own. Twilight did not want to leave her mentor's side. Tear streamed from her eyes as she thought of all the kind lessons she had given her and now having to see her like this after they had just become family. Her mind was also on Optimus. At first she was annoyed with spike for having folled around with that spell, Now she just wanted to thank her dragon friend for it was one of the greatest things he could have done. She had only known Optimus for a short time, yet just now he had just surrendered himself to save her, her friends, family and home to save it from Chrysalis and Megatron. She looked out the palace window to see her home greatly decimated. She was heartbroken at the sight. But she knew tears was not going to fix this. It would take action, But how and what was a whole other matter entirely.

Shining Armor trotted down the hallway his head hung low. He felt like a failure. Failed his troops, failed his knigdom, failed the Royalty, failed the great, honorable being he had come to view as a mentor and worst of all failed his family. From the time he was a colt he dreamed of becoming a  brave and heroic knight and know he even though he was captain he felt as though he did not live up to that dream. He went to go visit his troops at one of the rescue centers that had been set up outside the palace.

Once there he found Zecora treating Garble. Garble was lying on a cot, he was still recovering from Chrysalis. Still infuriated from his behavior the other day and even more in disbelief at his reckless attack on Chrysalis but non the less he had inavertadly saved him. "Well he pull through?" Good thing Zecora knew how to treat the various other creatures in Equestria. "He's lucky dragons are built for heavy endurance." She said. "He had quite a nasty experience but he should pull through soon." Just then Garble started to wake. "Ehhh Where am I."

Though relieved Garble alright, Shining decided to take his mind off his self pity by yelling at him. "What Were You Thinking? YOU COULD HAVE GOTTEN YOURSELF KILLED!" Garble glared at Shining. "You know Soldier Boy You got some way of thanking a guy who saved your shiny white rear." Shining was getting sick of this dragon punk's attitude. "What were you even doing here?" Garble grumbled. This felt like interrogation. "Look I followed the dang Air ship here and tried to help when the crud started hitting the fan." Shining was skeptical. "Since when do you care what would happen to a bunch of "Namby Pamby" Ponies?" He asked voice his anger at Garble's insult earlier. "HEY MAN." Garble shouted. "I ain't no monster. More To the Point If ANYBODY Was gonna take out Chrysalis it was gonna be by Dragon's Claws." "THAT...Shining stopped in mid sentence and squinted at Garble. "You sort of look familiar." Shining had look on his face as if he were trying to piece together a puzzle. "Have we met?" Garble rolled his eyes. "Duuuuh Yeah! We met Two chapters ago. (In Joke). "No I mean from a real long time ago?" Shining asked. Twilight and Candence trotted in.

"Now the pair of you cut it out!" Candence ordered. Twilight and Garble shot each other nasty looks, but they kept their mouths shut about it. "Now before you two start hollering again.." Candence went up to Garble. "Let me take a look at you." Garble was confused. What did this prissy girl want with him?" Then Candence grabbed his face started examining him. "HEY WHAT THE.." Candence moved his face this way and that trying to figure something out. Then finally she smooshed his cheeks. "MMMMMBFF" Garble protested through his smooshed lips. Then Candence saw it. "Oh My..She said her voice full of emotion and recognition. "Your looks bigger but it is you. Garby?" Shining was dumbfounded "Garby?" He heard that somewhere before. "Pfffffftt HAHAHAHA GARBY!?" Laughed Twilight.

"HEY NO ONE'S Called me that since..." Garble stopped in mid rant. "Wait a minute How do you know.." "OH Come on Garble." Candence said. "You HAVE To remember me." Garble stared at Candence for a minute. "You Couldn't be..."Sis"?" "SIS?" Twilight and Shining shouted in unison. Sis? What was going on? Twilight was racking her mind trying to figure out why her sweet, kind foal sitter now sister in law could actually be considered sister to on of the biggest thugs in Equestria. Shining's eyes were darting this way and that as memories of a time long ago came crashing back to him in full force. "The one and only baby bro!" Candence said with a sly sisterly grin on her face. Garble was having trouble remembering all this too. "All Right what's going on?" Twilight asked. She needed answers now.

"Well Twily." Candence began. "Before you I used to hatchling sit Garble." Twilight was surprised. This was something she never would have expected. Candence couldn't help but laugh when she looked back on those times. "Boy. Did he ever put me through a wild time. Remember that peek a boo thing we used to do Twily. I did it with him on the first day and When opened up my eyes I was staring at a high powered water hose. Boy was I mad after that!" Shining was still trying to remember. "Oh Come on Shining." Candence laughed. "You remember! That Scar on your tail." Shining and Twilight's eyes went wide.
"THAT'S WHERE THIS IS FROM?" They brushed the hair aside from Shining's tail revealing a small scar on the tip. He seemed to have been bitten.

"OH YEAH!" Garble Burst out laughing. "Now I remember. You were that goober who was always  going on and on about being a knight." Shining shot him a dirty look as his memories came back. "And I remember YOU now. You were that demon who was always giving me grief when I was with Candence when Twily wasn't around." Twilight stood up for her brother. "My Brother Now happens to be Knight's Captain and Married to Candence." This was a surprise to Garble. "You actually MARRIED This Guy Sis?" "Problem with that Volcano mouth?" Shining said taking offense. Garble growled. "None at all HAY BREATH!"

LUGGAGE LIPS
HOOF HEAD
PRE EVOLVED BIRD BRAIN
THAT'S DINOSAURS YOU CAPTAIN AMERICA WANNABE!
CHOPPER FACE
GGGRRRRRRRRR

"ENOUGH!" Candence. Garble and Shining shook her head. "Tsk Tsk. You two don't remember and barely recognize each other yet you never miss a beat when it comes to fighting with each other. Garble and Shining stopped and for a moment looked ashamed. Twilight wanted to know more about this but she knew far more pressing matters were at hand. They had to find someway to rescue Optimus but before she could bring it up, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy Pinkie Applejack raced in. Twilight was so glad to find them alright she they all group hugged.

Once outside they all told each other what happened.Twilight gritted his teeth as the whole diabolical trap fell into place. Chrysalis must have been spying on The Autobots the whole time. All the while secretly feeding off Spike's love for Rarity. Then she must have forged this alliance with Megatron when she discovered he was here. Lured their friends into traps in a sickening game of divided and conquer and the rest was history. After hearing all this Shining himself was infuriated. Though made of metal he may have been, Optimus Prime was greatest kindest most noble leader it had been his good fortune to meet. The literal living embodiment of everything he himself had set out to be. They had to do something. But right now was the time to regroup heal and make a plan.

Twilight looked around. "Where's Rarity and.. Twilight choked. "Spike?"  Rainbow dash and the others sadly looked at each other. "We don't know." Fluttershy said tearfully. All the ponies told Twilight about their own seperate ordeals with Decepticons and how their brave Autobot risked their lives to make sure they escaped. Twilight felt her eyes begin to tear up again. Not Spike. Not her most dearest friend. Applejack and Dash stepped forward. "Twi." Rainbow asked. "Where's Scootaloo?" "And Applebloom and Mac." Choked Applejack. Twilight didn't know.

==========================================
The Nemesis

Optimus was led through the halls of the ship toward the command bridge. Two Vehicons still had their blasters trailed on him from behind while two more were in front of him with Megatron and Chrysalis leading the way. All the while four of Chrysalis's changeling drones buzzed around his head sneering and making faces at him. Optimus wasn't quite sure what to do next but at least for the moment he had gotten the villains out of Ponyville. He had recorded the spell from Luna's page and for the most part that was what Megatron wanted. As For Chrysalis, Well she had taken the bait and left Canterlot for the time being. What was going to happen after that he couldn't really leave to fate.

When they passed by a corridor, Chrysalis broke from the group. "You'll have to excuse me." She smiled venomously. "I simply must thank one of our special guests." "Guests?" This got Optimus's interest. Megatron simply glared. "Just be quick about it. I don't want to have to stay in this wretched sub dimension anymore the I have to." Chrysalis simply turned her nose from him and she and her drones off. Before she got to far Optimus asked. "Chrysalis. Megalomania and a lust for power sent Megatron down his path. Tell me, What sent you down yours?" Chrysalis glared at the Autobot leader and buzzed off. Megatron glared at Optimus and they continued on their way to the command bridge. "I always knew your compassion for lower life forms would be the end of you Prime. But I must say, Even though we are sworn enemies, I would have preferred you have a more dignified end then you surrendering yourself to protect a filthy sub species of equine creatures." These remark was to be expected of Megatron. "You vastly underestimate them Megatron. As you do the humans, As you do always." Stated Prime. Megatron always hated Prime's observation

Rarity was strapped on a table like a frog about to be dissected in one of the 'Cons laboratories. She struggled against her bindings but to no avail. Her horn glowed with unicorn magic as she searched around the room for anything that could be a key. All the while she was still in grief about Spike. How could she let that happen to the kindest, sweetest most.. She broken from her thoughts when Knock out entered the room. "Well now, How is our little test subject today?" He asked nastily. "Hmph!" Rarity scowled turning her head away from the vain decepticon. Knock out just smirked and gently spun his finger around her tauntingly. "Judging by the way you carry yourself, your obviously a girl who appreciates style and class. That's probably rare for the type of animal that poops in the street." Knock out was getting nasty pleasure out of taunting his tiny prisoner and Rarity was NOT enjoying it in the least. She glared at her captor. "GET AWAY FROM YOU SMUG METAL MORON! What do you want with me?" "Wasn't my idea." Knock out shrugged as he turned to organized his medical tools. "the Bug queen just told Shockwave nab you. Don't ask me why. Quite frankly that witch and her disgusting little minions give me the cre.." Knock out turned to see Chrysalis and her drones glaring at him. Knock out didn't really care if she heard or not. This hag was no Megatron. "If you'd excuse me I'd like to talk to the guest thank You." Knock out just gave her a look and left the room. Chrysalis then turned her attention to Rarity.

Rarity glared at the evil Changeling Queen in contempt. Chrysalis smiled wickedly and hovered above her. "Yo know, I would have preferred Twilight. But at least this way it keeps those pesky elements from coming together." Now Rarity knew why she had been taken. "However." Chrysalis continued. "You did help me out greatly." Rarity was confused. "What are you talking about you vile, hateful witch?" "OH WAKE UP!" Chrysalis shouted. "Whose love do you think I was feeding on to regain my power?" Smiling eviliy, she cruelly shape shifted her head...into Spike's. Rarity's heart was breaking and tears were welling up in her eyes as the whole sick scenario came together. "You were...You mean....How could You." Rarity choked as she tried hold back her sobs.Chrysalis morphed head back to normal and grinned. "Tell me. Did you ever take that little dragon seriously? I mean what did you think? That it was some silly little boyhood crush that he was gonna grow out of? Guess he cared more about you then you truly realized." "THAT WAS PRIVATE YOU HAD NO RIGHT-.." Rarity's sobs cut her off. "Awwwww." Chrysalis mocked. "Looks like those feelings were more mutual then you truly realized. Too bad the little twerp's never gonna know. But hey, He's already buried, so at least you get spared that." Satisfied with the pain she had caused, Chrysalis exited the room with her drones cackling. Alone, Rarity wept in grief. She wish she had let Spike finish his sentence that time they were falling
=========================================

Now if Twilight and Rarity were to see inside an old rock query right now, they would be more then a little surprised. There under a blanket of stars and in the middle of doing his thousandth push up with a huge boulder on his back, was Spike! His eyes had wild fiery look of anger and determination as he did his exercises. He was gonna rescue Rarity and Grimlock and he was gonna need strength to do it. He then switched to doing it with clapping. Then after a few hundred of those he switched to doing it with fire breath pushing him back up. Spike was going to beat those Cons and Changelings and he didn't care about the odds.

==============================================

Back on Board the Nemesis in the detention hold with their arms strapped in energon bindings were Arcee, Bulkhead and Bumblebee. Arcee looked around. No sign of Wheeljack, Skids and Mudflap. Hopefully that meant they managed to get away. In a special energon cell with his jaws held tight in  an energon bind with two more around his waist strapping him to the floor was Grimlock. Two of Chrysalis's Changeling drones were taunting him with an electric goad. Normally, Grimlock would have tore the bindings apart and rip the little bugs to shreds. But the pain of what had become of Spike far eclipsed any personal pride and temper the Dinobot leader had. His mind and spark were heavy with memories of his little friend.

Arcee had to admit, It was horrible seeing Grimlock like this. But after what had apparently happened to Spike, She couldn't blame him. She could sympathy, especially after Tailgate and Cliffjumper. Truly the Dinobot leader had more heart then Arcee and the others gave him credit for. All the while more changelings were buzzing around her, Bulk and Bee. They were grinning smirking making faces even spitting on them. "HEY! DON'T LITTLE CREEPS HAVE ANYTHING BETTER TO DO?" Shouted Bulkhead. Bulkhead was NOT happy. His own fight with Hardshell Ended with the insection sucker punching him then these little monsters gummed him up with their webbing. Arcee and Bumblebee's fight with with Lockdown and Barricade didn't end much better. Right now they had to take small comfort that they had gotten their pony friends to safety. But right now they were at Chrysalis and Megatron's mercy and that was something the villains had very little of. Arcee's head hung low. If this wasn't their darkest hour it came awfully close.
=================================================================

Ponyville (What's left of it anyway)

Soaring Thunder and the Wonderbolts had just come back from a scouting patrol. They Approached Twilight and the others outside the palace. "We check where you said and found nothing. Soaring said sadly. "But I suppose that was better then finding...Well..You know." "You Know? YOU KNOW!!!!" Rainbow Dash was infuriated. She Got Up in Soaring's face. "WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSE TO MEAN? THEY WERE OUR FRIENDS AND...." Twilight and others held her back. "DASH CALM DOWN." Twilight shouted. Soaring gulped. All in all he probably should have said that better. "Look I'm sorry. What meant by that was didn't find any wreckage. Well we did but none that looked like parts of the Autobots. We found a lot of trashed vehi....what ever those drones were but nothing to suggest that the Autobots were destroyed. At the very least they appeared to have been captured." Soaring couldn't blame Dash for feeling the way she did. She and that one bot Arcee had gotten pretty close.

Applejack approached Soaring. "What about my brother and sister?" She demanded. "And Where's MY Sister? Where's Scootaloo?" Dash demanded. Soaring looked at them sorrowfully. "We couldn't them either." Dash and Applejack Couldn't take it anymore. They had already lost their friends and now their families. It wasn't fair. First these creeps attack the Autobots, wreck their home, Steal Optimus and now THIS! "That's it I'm looking for them." Dash yelled. "I'm with ya Pardner." Applejack shouted. "Dash Wait!" Soaring begged. "It's Dark and for all you know those thing could still be out there." Dash just looked him in the eye. "Well then they're gonna have us to be afraid of now aren't they."

Twilight didn't know what to do. Everything looked bleak. But somehow she had to have hope. Just then Shining Armor arrived. "Sorry Girls but I can't let you go anywhere." "WHAT?" Dash Yelled. "I'm Sorry. But As it stands it's too dangerous." Shining stated. "OH COME ON!" Applejack yelled. "I'm Sorry girls." Shining stated. "But I don't want to take any chances with you going out right now. Especially Rainbow, If that Spider bot you told us about is still out there." Fluttershy shivered as she remembered their run in with Airachnid. Shining then assured them that he was gonna take a squad and go look for them. But that still didn't calm them down. And he couldn't blame them.

Shining made his way over to Twilight and put a brotherly foreleg around her. "Come on sis." He said softly. "Don't count Optimus out yet. I mean he's got a plan. He's bound to have a plan right? Right." Twilight knew her brother and she could tell he didn't know who he was trying to reassure. Her or himself. It was then Candence showed up and looked her husband in the eye sadly. "Shining. Optimus sacrificed himself so we could all live to see another day. That was the plan." Shining knew his wife was right. Optimus cared more about their safety then trying to win the war. But all that not withstanding he still refused to give up.

Then Garble showed up. He had his usual angry look on his face. "What can I Do?" He asked in a somewhat demanding voice. "You rest up. You go home." Shining stated rather flatly. "Oh No Soldier boy." Garble grunted. "If your going after Chrysalis I Want in." Rainbow Dash was confused. "What's it To You anyway Garble? Why help a bunch of namby pamby  ponies." She finished that sentence mocking his voice and also stating her hurt feelings at his remarks. In last few hours after a near death encounter Garble had to admit,Yeah maybe he had been kind of Well OK A BIG jerk. But right now was not the time to get into it with the ponies and well quite frankly he didn't want Candence to his more negative behavior. "Look. If you guys are going after Chrysalis I want in." Candence put to caring hooves on his shoulders. Boy it was different having to stand on hind legs to do it. She could remember when she first met him when he was little more then a rambunctious hatchling.  "Garby. Listen...." PFFFFTT GARBY?!" Rainbow Dash Applejack Pinkie and even Fluttershy burst out laughing. Garble shot them a nasty glare and turned back to Candence. "Look Sis. You got to understand." His voice was almost sounding like crying. "If Chrysalis is going down. It should be by Dragons Claws."

Rainbow Dash whispered to Shining Armor. "Sis?" Shining sighed. "Before Twily was born. Candence used to babysit him. He was obnoxious but, They were kinda close." Overhearing this, Candence couldn't help but smile a bit remembering some of the inane pranks he used to pull on her before he opened up. Garble grumbled somewhat embarrassed. He didn't want to talk about baby stories. But Dash was still confused. "Wait a minute. An alicorn babysitting a dragon..." Candence intervened. "Back then Dragons had better relations with most others in Equestria. Including ponies. Of Course this was before.." Garble Stepped in. "Before That Stinking Witch Chrysalis and her Stupid Swarm Invaded and Stole our Sacred Dragon Homeland. As a matter of fact. That Hive of her's is built right on top of my Birth Nest." Twilight was stunned. This was news to her. In fact, Now that she thought about it, She never did ask Celestia where Spike's egg came from. "Oh Spike." Her eyes teared up as she thought about her little friend out there. Shining hugged his sister warmly. Truth was he was fond of the little guy too.

"Speaking of which where is Shorrrr... Garble Noticed the nasty glances he was getting from Applejack and Dash, Even Fluttershy and remembering his little run in with Grimlock earlier changed his tone. "I mean that Brave soul anyway?" "We don't know." Mouthed Applejack. "He's missing and so are our sisters and Rarity!" Dash said. Garble was actually quite concerned after hearing this. Sure he was mean to the little guy but he didn't really mean for anything really bad to happen to him. (OK He did but he didn't think it would actually happen.) Shining consouled his sister. "Don't worry Twily. He'll be OK.'

===========================================

Back at the rock query, Spike had taken a steel rod with his new growing strength, forced two large boulders on either end. Then he stared bench pressing. 20...30..40.. Spike had a fire in  his eyes and nothing was gonna stop him.

============================================

Ponyville


"Well we're not getting anything done sitting around.." Shining was cut off by the sound of one of the guards yelling. "Something's coming." Wasting no time, Twilight, Shining and the others Garble included rush over to the village entrance. They could hear the sounds of cars coming. Was it more Vehicons or....."LOOK!" Pinkie cheered. Coming around the corner heading for the village was Wheeljack and the CMC were with him with their head sticking out the windows. Following close behind were Skids and Mudflap with Snips,Snails and Trixie. Pinkie shouted to Dash and Applejack. "Guys Wheeljack's got Scootaloo and Applebloom with Him." Applejack and Dash's eyes lit up in joy. The cars pulled up and the ponies hopped out. Scootaloo and Applebloom rushed into their sisters arms. Twilight approached Trixie. She was actually grateful she was alright but then noticed her tattered apperence. "Oh My Trixie. Are you alright?" Trixie was wild eyed and razzled from her experiences. "Oh Yes. I am fine." Her voice was filled with a growing anxiety. "I only got attacked. Shot at. ALMOST STEPPED ON BURIED IN CAVE AND I'M JUST PEACHY!" Twilight couldn't blame her. she obviously had been through a lot. Wheeljack, Skids and Mudflap transformed to robot mode and observed the destruction before them.

"Whoooo." Skids observered sadly. "Some deep, Next level, WWIII Armageddon crud happened here." Wheeljack looked grimly at the almost completely ruined village and the decimated castle in the distance. He shut his eyes and grimaced. He felt awful for what had happened but remembering all the complaining he had done since he got here made him feel even worse. Bulkhead and everyone else had welcomed these ponies friendships with open arms, while he with his stubborn hard head, and battle hungry personality pushed them away. And then when had finally let up and welcomed Sweetiebelle, Scootaloo and Applebloom in, This happened.

============================================

Training was done. Now was the time to get to work. Spike sat cross legged in front of a bonfire he made. Then he painted two Rambo style marks under his eyes. His look was hard and focused. As they say, To survive War You have to Become WAR! With that he headed back home. Now was the time to gather his friends and save the day.

===========================================

Back at the village, Twilight, Shining, Candence, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie, Sweetie belle and Applebloom, Even Garble and Trixie, all sat around a fire with Wheeljack trying to figure out what to do. Twilight had her forelegs wrapped around Sweetie Belle. The poor thing was crying for Rarity. Applejack was doing the same with Bloom and they were both crying for Big Mac. Skids and Mudflap were with Snips and Snails in the village, they were doing they're best to help all the injured in town. Despite what had happened, The help was greatly appreciated. Pinkie looked at the photo Bumblebee had given her. The one of him and Raf. She had never met Raf, Yet despite him being a tall looking hairless monkey, Any friend of Bumblebee would be a friend to her. Wheeljack was still feeling awful about what had happened. If only he had been there, then maybe he might have been able to help Optimus beat back the invaders. Shining looked up at Wheeljack and could tell what was on his mind.

"Look, Wheeljack." Shining said. "No one's blaming you for this." Wheeljack looked at Shining. Then looked at the crying Sweetie Belle. He knew feeling bad wasn't going to fix things. Somehow, Someway, They were gonna beat those Cons and their creepy bug pals. He reached over to Twilight and took Sweetie Belle in his hands and held her up to his face. "Don't Worry Belle. Uncle Jacky ain't gonna take this lying down. We're gonna figure something out. We're Gonna rescue your sister and we're Bust those cons bucket heads wide open. Somehow, We're gonna make things right." With that Sweetie Belle smiled. Wheeljack's words had strenghtned all their resolve. Just then..

"THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO!" A familiar voice called out from behind them. Twilight and the others all spun around to see.."SPIKE!" Twilight cried. KRAKOOOOOM.
Garble had a freaked out look on his face. "Uh. Anybody notice the lightning?" "I was about to say." said Shining with an equally surprised expression. Yes it was Spike but what had happened to him? He was wearing camo pants and a red headband. He had a bo staff tied to his back and fierce expression on his face. Twilight was stunned. This was Spike? Sweet little Spike. Before she had a chance to ask what had happened one of the troops galloped up. "Some one else is coming."

"APPLEJACK IT'S BIG MAC!" shouted Dash. Filled with Glee, Applejack Bloom and the others raced over to see Big Mac. He was pulling something huge behind him. "What's that he's pulling..Oh No. WHEELJACK!" cried Twilight. Wheeljack raced up behind them and saw.."oh my god...SKIDS, MUDFLAP. IT'S IRONHIDE!"

To be continued.
