(Real quick, I need to explain that the kids dropped the supplies off and then went to school, that's why they weren't heard from in the previous chapter.)
Chapter 15
Chaos
Bumblebee felt a jolt in his side, which instantly caused him to wake up from his little stasis nap, it was Arcee. Bumblebee noticed her missing arm and the energon gently dropping from where it had been. Bumblebee looked around and saw that they were in a large room, with no light and no doors. But he was able to see Jack, Miko, and Raf sitting over in the corner. The Autobots didn't know it, but they had been captured by M.E.C.H., who were preparing for surgery to create their newest creation…
Griffin Rock, Maine…
"Chief Burns, there is a car rapidly approaching us going one hundred and twenty mile over the posted speed limit. Shall we pursue?" Chase asked his human partner. Chief Burns saw the car; it was a myriad of colors, orange, black, and green. It soon blew past them nearly blowing Chase into next week. "Yes Chase, I haven't seen this racer before so I think we'll have to familiarize him with our laws." The Chief stated, and that was all it took, Chase changed gears, flipped his siren on, and began to pursue the car. The mystery car realized that the Autobot was chasing him and increased his speed. The two cars sped down Main Street. People turned their heads in amazement because, well, it had been a while since the last car chase, although there were those incidents with Doctor Greene's electric car, twice, OK, so this was the first car chase in which both cars were in control. Chief Burns gripped the steering wheel hard and told Chase. "Chase, I think we're going to need the others to help with this one." Chase immediately tried to call the others… Wait a minute, why was the car spinning around? "Chase? What's he doing?"
The car then began to crumple and rearrange its parts. It was soon a large robot with a black face and a green mouth. "Chase?" Chase pulled over to the side and let his partner out and told him. "I will try and handle this sir." He transformed and walked slowly over to the strange transformer. "Sir, you have committed seven infractions of the law, I am afraid-" The large robot swatted Chase down and pulled out two green swords, he then struck Chase hard in his midsection, causing a deep scratch. "Fool! No one faces Dead End and lives!" He then picked Chase up and chucked him into a computer store. Chase crashed through the store and crushed hundreds of computers, the store was closed however and, thankfully, there were no people inside. Dead End walked over to where Chase had been thrown to see what had happened. Chase turned over onto his back and weakly stated. "Make that nine, I am afraid I will-" But before he could finish Dead End shot Chase in his chest. Dead End stepped back and turned his cloaking device on; he then transformed and drove back to where the rest of his team was.
Jasper, Nevada…
"Could this day get any worse?" Ratchet asked no one in particular. First off, Jack, Miko, Raf, Arcee and Bumblebee had been botnapped by the terrorist organization M.E.C.H. Then there was a call from the Rescue Bot Heatwave that one of their comrades Chase had been heavily wounded by a Decepticon. So now they were stuck between a rock and a hard place. There were two situations and only four Autobots to deal with them. "I say we get the ponies back here to help us!" Bulkhead argued, the ponies were exhausted after the training exercises and were currently sleeping at their respective houses. "I'm not sure that is wise," Ratchet answered, "I'm not sure they're ready for a fight with Decepticons or M.E.C.H., Applejack, maybe, but not the others."
"Why not Rainbow?" Wheeljack pointed out.
Earlier that day in Ponyville, Equestria…
'It's about time.' Applejack thought to herself. It had taken Rainbow Dash almost ten minutes to get that bag back. Applejack was ready to crush whatever sorry distance her friend had put up. "Whad ya pull off?" She asked Rainbow. Rainbow set the bag back on the hook and told Applejack. "Two hundred and thirty-four yards. Think you can beat that, cowgirl?" Applejack rolled her eyes; it was actually a good distance, but she didn't want to let on that she knew that. Applejack positioned herself in front of the bag and bucked that thing as hard as he could. It sailed through the air and was soon out of sight, a few seconds later it landed with a thud. "Think you can handle it, city-slicker?" Applejack taunted before running off to get the bucking bag. Rarity casually walked over to where Rainbow was standing an asked her. "Rainbow Dash, why are your eyes purple?"
"Huh? What are you talking about?" Rainbow asked, tilting her head to the side. Rarity pulled a mirror out of her saddlebag (she had Spike pick it up) and held it up in front of her friend's face with her horn. Sure enough, her normally red eyes were now purple. "Hmm… Beats me, must be all those sonic rainbooms I've been doing." Rainbow thought out loud. But she'd never heard of anypony getting purple eyes from too many sonic rainbooms, but, then again, she was the first pony to ever make a sonic rainboom. Rarity put the mirror back in her saddlebag and told her friend. "Rainbow, you may want to change your eye color back to red, the purple does not go well at all with the green on your mane."
"Ugh, I don't really care about my eyes 'clashing' with my mane." Rainbow shot back, looking back to see if Applejack was back yet, she was just getting out of the forest. Rarity stepped in front of Rainbow and told her. "Rainbow, if you're going to attract stallions then-"
"Stallions?!" Rainbow shouted; in disbelief that Rarity could even think about that. "Look Rarity, I don't know if you've noticed this, but I don't even care about stallions." Rarity closed her eyes and stuck her nose in the air. "Hmm, well of course not, with your eyes clashing with your mane." Before Rainbow could respond, Applejack came running up. "Two hundred and forty-seven yards, you think you can handle it?" She sneered. Rainbow Dash responded with. "Watch and learn, cowgirl." She then positioned herself in front of the bag, closed her eyes, and gave the hardest kick she could give. The bag sailed into the air, it had gone so far they couldn't even hear it hit the ground. "Well, I think you won that one." Applejack reluctantly told her, she held out her front hoof and Rainbow shook it.
Later in Griffin Rock, Maine…
"Dead End, is your little 'mission' done?" Barricade asked. Dead End nodded his head, and then leaned his back on a nearby tree, which creaked in protest when he did. Barricade turned to Wasp. "Wasp, I need you to take the Autobot Blades out, he's a wimp, but he is still there eyes in the sky, and if we ground him we'll only have Boulder and Heatwave to take out. Leave those for me.
Jasper, Nevada…
"I'm not so sure, she seems too arrogant and cocky for her own good." Ratchet told the Wrecker. Wheeljack replied with, "Uh-huh, just like you."
"Puh! As if you're any better."
"Maybe I am."
"Oh really? Well at least I've saved lives, you can't even do that. Seaspray was an example of that."
"Hay!" Twilight's sudden command brought Ratchet's and Wheeljack's argument to a halt, right before Wheeljack bopped Ratchet in the helm.
"Twilight? When did you get here?" Bulkhead asked, curious how the unicorn had gotten to the base when her house was a few thousand miles away.
"I have requested young Miss Sparkle to assist us in our little problem," Optimus answered, "Seeing as we cannot figure it out on our own." The two Wreckers hung their heads in embarrassment, that they honestly needed a small pony not even a one hundredth of their age to settle their dispute. Ratchet scoffed. "Optimus, if you think I am going to listen to some little purple-" Bulkhead and Wheeljack gave him a withering glare, but Ratchet just went back to his computer and- "Ahhh!" Ratchet yelled, for there sitting on his keyboard was an angry looking Twilight.
"Is there no privacy?!" He asked no one in particular.
"Look, Optimus told me to straighten things out and I don't think they've straightened out," Twilight told the grumpy mech matter-of-factly, "Now, have any of you worked out a way to rescue Bumblebee, Arcee, and the others?" The three mechs shook their heads. "And we have another problem. The Decepticons have attacked Griffin Rock, where untrained Autobots known as Rescue Bots currently reside." Ratchet explained.
"Oh…" She understood the problem, there were only four Autobots and two problems, one would be a difficult challenge for four, let alone two. She thought about it for a moment, then an idea came, it might be simple, there wouldn't be too much of a risk... "Optimus, what if my friends and I went to Griffin Rock to fix the Resscue Bot while you and the rest of the Autobots bring the others back?"
"Perhaps, but if the humans see you, it could cause pandemonium."
"Perhaps if I put them near their base?" Ratchet suggested.
"Very well, the Rescue Bots have five human companions that may be able to aid you in repairing our fallen allies, they are the only humans you are to have contact with." The Autobot leader told the small mare.
"Yes sir."
On board the Maxilus…
"Lord Megatron, are you sure it was wise to let the new Decepticon handle such a delicate mission?" Dreadwing asked, Megatron turned to him and told him.
"And why do you think this is such a 'delicate mission'?"
"Didn't you send them to destroy an elite force of Autobots?"
"Barricade is the most skilled Decepticon, other than me. If he wanted to, he could rip out your spark chamber without you even knowing. Do not question my decisions Dreadwing, or I will have him do just that."
Later in Jasper, Nevada...
"Are all of you ready?" Ratchet asked the six little ponies. Twilight looked at her friends, they all nodded. Since Rarity and Twilight were going to try and fix up Chase, the others were going to go on the lookout for any Decepticon activity.
"Its time to show those Cons who they're messin' with!" Rainbow shouted enthusiastically.
"Rainbow, as I told you we're just going too look around the town, fix the Rescue Bots, and then when they're done we'll go back home and the Autobots will take care of the rest, right Optimus?" Twilight looked up at the Autobot leader, he nodded his and told them. "Correct, good luck to you all." Ratchet walked up and gave them some little round things that looked like- "Mmm! Chocolate chips!" Pinkie pie gobbled them up in one bite.
"Pinkie Pie! We needed that!" Ratchet yelled.
"Ooh! Were you planning a cookie contest?"
"No, those were comm links, so that you could all update me on the Rescue Bots' well being."
Pinkie giggled. "Silly Ratchet, I can just tell you."
"And how is that?"
"Well according to that computer it says that they're OK but some ponies called Chase and Blades need help, oh did they get some nasty boo-boos?"
"What?" Ratchet turned around to see a message on his computer from Heatwave.
Optimus,
We're fine, the Decepticons haven't outright attacking Griffin Rock, but we need medical assistance for both Blades and Chase now.
-Heatwave
"Hmm, another one? These 'Rescue Bots' couldn't survive a protoform attack" He stated with disgust.
"Don't worry Ratchet, Rarity and I can fix the two Rescue Bots." Twilight told them. Ratchet remembered how quickly the small unicorn had fixed Wheeljack, so maybe she could do the same for the Rescue Bots.
"Very well, I will put you directly behind their base of operations, go in, fix them up, then come back out, I'll get the bridge going again in one half-earth hour."
Sorry that took so long, I had to basically redo the whole chapter, but I've already started work on the next and I have the rest of the story planned out.
Thanks,
