Chapter One: Connection
It was a glorious morning in Equestria. Ponies were bustling the streets, going in and out of stores and their houses.
Twilight Sparkle, the Princess of Friendship, lived in a crystalline castle and it was quite comfy to her liking.
Her friends, Rarity, Fluttershy, Applejack, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie were in the throne room of the castle, doing their own activities.
"Girls, I've been reading a book about opening portals," Twilight said happily.
Pinkie's eyes lit up and she squealed happily, jumping into the air.
"What does it say!? What does it say!?"
Applejack chuckled, "hold on, sugarcube. Let Twi speak first."
Twilight gave Applejack a thankful nod and she cleared her throat, "well it says that the power of the Elements of Harmony can activate a portal called a ground bridge."
"A ground bridge?" Rainbow repeated in confusion.
"What's a ground bridge?" Rarity asked, raising an eyebrow.
"It sounds like a portal to... another world," Fluttershy said, tilting her head.
Twilight nodded her head before she glanced at her cutie mark which started to glow.
Rarity and Rainbow glanced at their cutie marks which began to glow as well.
Fluttershy's cutie mark glowed. So did Applejack's and so did Pinkie Pie's.
"That's... weird. The map isn't calling us," Applejack said, scratching her head.
"That's strange," Twilight said, tapping her chin. She placed her hoof on the map table and a bright red and blue glowing orb suddenly appeared above the six of them and the map.
"What in tarnation?!" Applejack exclaimed, her eyes widening.
"Whoa!" Rainbow shouted in surprise as air seemed to go into the orb.
"Ahh!" Pinkie yelped as she was slowly sucked up off the floor.
"Pinkie!" Rainbow and Applejack shouted before they yelped in surprise as they too were sucked up into the orb.
Twilight's horn lit up before she was sucked up into the orb, being followed by Rarity and Fluttershy.
The six shouted in surprise as they flew through a bright blue, orange and white space.
It wasn't long before the six fell out of the portal and fell onto the ground in a pile.
"What in Celestia's name just happened?" Rarity gasped.
Fluttershy stood up and looked around. She turned and she froze when she saw a pair of bright crimson red eyes glowering down at her and her friends.
Without entirely thinking, the Element of Kindness let out a scream, alerting Applejack and Rainbow Dash.
"Sweet acorns in a basket!" Applejack exclaimed, seeing the red eyes.
"Well, well. What do I have here?" A dark voice rumbled.
Twilight got in front of her friends and her horn lit up. A bright shield appeared in front of the six as a purple blast flew at them.
"Interesting," Megatron rumbled and he chuckled as he unsheathed his sword.
Fluttershy's eyes widened in pue fear and tears formed in them.
Twilight growled and the magic in her horn blazed brighter and bigger.
A burst of anger lit up into her chest and she reared back on her hind legs and shot a beam of magic at Megatron who hardly grunted at the blast.
"Megatron!" Optimus shouted and he slammed into the Decepticon leader.
"Run, girls!" Twilight shouted and the six immediately took off running.
Rainbow's eyes grew wide as she snapped her head towards a roar.
Twilight's eyes widened before the magic in her horn activated and everything suddenly went black.
