Chapter 6
Optimus drove hard and fast, passing the large wolf creature and managed to catch up alongside his soldiers. "Bumblebee! You and the others evacuate the town."
"Got it!" The three cars shouted, then sped up and drove into town. Optimus saw the monster in his side-view mirror; he then proceeded to pull a hard left, sliding in front of it. He then transformed, deploying his battle blades. The creature roared at him, causing the ground beneath him to tremble. He leaped and soared through the air, he then aimed his left blade at the creature's head, unfortunately it was a little close to his mouth. The creature grabbed the blade and threw Optimus to the ground. Optimus watched in horror as the beast ran straight towards the town, then suddenly; a red thing could be seen heading straight for the wolf. Optimus couldn't tell who or what it was at first, but then as it got closer he realized who it was: Sentinel Prime.
Sentinel charged at the wolf with all his might, he kept going, harder and harder, until he was about a hundred yards away. He then transformed and leaped, he sailed through the air, he pointed his weapon between the wolf's eyes; dead center. As soon as his blade hit him, the wolf exploded into a bunch of smaller wolves. They were all stunned; they looked at each other and then ran back into the forest, their tails between their legs. Sentinel walked over to where a half-shocked Optimus was sitting, he reached out his servo and Optimus accepted it. Sentinel pulled him up and said. "Perhaps I shouldn't have retired." His lip components then curled into a smile.
"Perhaps, old friend," Optimus replied, a faint hint of a smile flitting across his features, "Perhaps." Then the two headed towards the town.
At the library…
"Ugh…I think I ate too much." Scootaloo moaned, clutching at her recently enlarged stomach.
"Tell me about it." Sweetie Bell agreed, her stomach grumbling with the digesting food.
"Ugh, can you guys stop talkin' so loud? Mah head hurts." Applebloom complained, the three fillies lay on the floor, books surrounding them, four hours of research and eating ice cream and all they had gotten for their efforts was a headache.
Spike crawled on his stomach towards his bed, muttering. "Must…get to…bed!" He stopped short a few inches and dropped his head with a clunk on the ground. With a mouthful of wood, he murmured. "Close enough."
Scootaloo groaned, rolling over, she then looked around at all the books and ice cream all over, well, everywhere. "Somepony's gonna be maaad when she gets home!"
Sweetie bell mumbled under her breath. "I've never seen Fluttershy mad before. This should be interesting."
Applebloom answered. "Applejack said Fluttershy was kinda mad at the Grand Galloping Gala."
"Guys?" Scootaloo asked.
"Yes?" Applebloom and Sweetie Bell answered in unison
"This is Twilight's house. Spike does not live at Fluttershy's house and Fluttershy does not live in a library tree house. She also does not have a secret stash of ice cream." Scootaloo then added under her breath, "That we know of."
"Hay Spike?" Applebloom called out.
"Hmm?" Spike groaned.
"Where is Twilight?"
"She went to Canterlot, she'll be back Saturday night."
"Oh, goodnaght Spike."
"Goodnight Minty."
"Who's Minty?"
"I have no idea."
