(The next day, vickyt36, this chapters for you)
Honey awoke early the next day in her apartment, she had to get back to work today. She went to her bees beds to say good morning, but remembered they weren't there, they were at fluttershys house in the pony world getting healed and treated. Honey went to take her shower as usual, and she looked at herself in the mirror afterwards. She was the same old honey, nothing new, same outfit she's worn for years, same height, same hairstyle, same everything.
She didn't mind her life, but after that battle yesterday, she knew what she had wouldn't last forever, it could easily be taken away from her. The fallen was powerful yes, but there was no way he was possibly the most evil thing on the Internet. Honey didn't want to just be the same old person forever, maybe changing her look just a little would make things a little more exciting for her. She'd take this slow of course, as that's just how she's programmed. Honey simply tied her yellow blonde hair into a ponytail, it was a start.
She looked at her ears too. Many girls in this game had pierced ears, even Lucy did. The thought never crossed her mind but perhaps simple piercings wouldn't hurt.
"Maybe later. Time to get to work" Said Honey to herself
She got dressed, ate a quick breakfast, grabbed her bag and went to her store, but something was definitely off. Not just her store, but several surrounding buildings were covered in posters with Autobot and Decepticon logos plastered over them as well as different transformers characters. She looked at one that simply had both logos on them with some writing.
'Autobots, Decepticons, they're all the same. Join the anti transformer league. Petition to our leaders the transformers must leave'
Honey looked at another poster, this one shocked her. It was of optimus prime, he was pointing his blaster at a mother with a crying baby. Underneath it read 'Don't let this happen to you. Join the anti transformer league. Make world designer great again'. Other posters included pictures of Metroplex and Omega Supreme which simply stated 'They aren't here to protect us'. She knew that was a lie. A final poster she saw had a picture of Megatron and Optimus standing over rubble which read 'They destroyed their planet, they WILL destroy ours. Anti transformer league'.
Honey couldn't believe she was seeing these things. She worked with the bots and cons, yes they've had their differences, but they didn't mean harm to others. She wished her bees were here, they'd know what to say. Honey couldn't let that get to her. She got to work doing what she needed to do, collecting honeycomb for honey making, baking honey buns and donuts to wrap and sell, and restocking inventory. As she restocked, an npc walked in, holding one of her store displays, which were plastic honey buns she kept on the counter to show what they looked like baked.
"Good morning I'm here to return this. I stole it, but didn't know it was plastic, and I broke my teeth" Said the npc
Honey rolled her eyes and was clearly annoyed, this was gonna be one of those days.
"Hey you look familiar. Weren't you thrashed around by that giant terminator the other night screaming like a little girl?"
"What the hell do you want? You gonna buy something or what?" Honey rudely asked
The npc slowly grabbed the store display.
"This actually looks good in my apartment" Said the npc
Honey began pushing him out.
"Just take it, keep it, get out of my store" Said Honey calmly
After she got rid of the npc, she went behind her counter and looked at a picture of her and her bees when they first opened in Litwak city. She missed them, it felt so weird not having them. They've never been all apart for this long. She wanted to visit them, but fluttershy insisted privacy was the best way for them to recover quicker. What did she know? She was a shy Pegasus from a cartoon for little girls Honey thought. Speaking of characters from a cartoon for little girls, Twilight came in not long later. School wasn't to be back in session for weeks, but she wanted to schedule a possible field trip to her honey farm/store.
"Really? Gee I don't know. Would the kids even like it?" Honey Asked
"You won't know unless you try. Besides I need to win the kids minds back. Last day of school I flat out bullied Lucy. I'm still feeling the effects of that" Said Twilight
"Give me some time to think, I'll get back to you" Said Honey
"Take all the time you need" Said Twilight before she left
The next several hours for honey were hard, either she didn't get a lot of business, or she had npc's trying to convince her to join them in their campaign to remove the transformers.
"They're monsters"
"They don't belong here"
"They're a menace to society"
"Do it for the children"
"It's because of them our game is in ruins. They're the reason your bees are dying somewhere"
That last comment really infuriated her. In response, Honey threw the final group of NPC's out of her store.
"And stay out!" She Shouted before locking the doors
Honey went to her back office to cry a little, she didn't want to think her friends could possibly be dying right now. She needed to get her mind off things. She had deliveries to make soon, that could work with helping her ease her mind. Many of the city's citizens were also visiting the twins, perhaps seeing them would help her too. And that's just what she did. She started with Kevin, whose bedroom was full of get well presents.
"The citizens must really like you" Said Honey
"The people think I saved the game. I found the help needed. I think Lucy deserves more credit, she fought harder than I did" Kevin Said weakly before breaking down coughing "I only hope she's getting the respect I'm getting"
"You just get some rest dear prince, and you'll be up again in no time" Said Honey
She then went to see Lucy. Despite what Kevin was hoping, Lucys room wasn't as full, most of what she got from citizens was in a corner and nothing more. At the moment she was telling her of the deliveries she was to soon make outside the game.
"I took your suggestion and reached out to oh my Disney, I've gotten several orders for products" Said Honey
"That's great" Said Lucy weakly
"Now I just need to figure out how to get them there" Said Honey
"I got you covered this time" Said Lucy
Lucy pulled her purse towards her and ripped her storage device out of it and gave it to Honey.
"Simply stuff that in your bag, it'll hold everything you need" Said Lucy
"Thank you princess, and I promise to bring this back" Said Honey
"So who'd you manage to sell to?" Asked Lucy
Honey reached into her purse and pulled out a list of people she had to deliver to today and where.
'Disney website:
Joy
Judy Hopps
Disney Princesses
Winnie the Pooh
Big hero 6
Emperor Sheev Palpatine
Supreme Leader Snoke
Iron man
Thor
Steam:
Luke Skywalker and Iden Versio (Star Wars battlefront 2 2017)
Arthur Hastings (We Happy Few)
World designer:
Several cubes of honey Energon to deliver to Kaon'
Lucy handed the list back to Honey.
"Be careful out there, watch out for Palpatine. While not that version, that man is the reason I have my powers" Said Lucy weakly
"I'll try and watch myself. Get well soon Lucy. Surprised you don't have that many gifts, Kevin's rooms full of them" Said Honey
"What?!" Lucy asked angrily
"Uh, I must go now"
Honey bolted out of the room before she could see lucys rage. Honey gathered what she needed to deliver and made her way to oh my Disney dot com. The site was full of Disney characters, many whom Honey was not yet familiar with. She made her way to the princesses dressing room, where she was stopped by a couple First order stormtroopers
"No guests allowed in back"
"I'm here to see the princesses, I have a delivery for them" Said Honey
"Yeah, nice try. They're not here. Now get moving"
Before honey could say more, princess Anna showed up and confronted the troopers.
"Hey, back off man, I know her. Honey right? Come with me" Said Anna
Anna led Honey to the dressing room so she could unload what she had to deliver, mostly honey buns and her signature sweet spread.
"It's nice to finally meet you, Lucy likes talking about you. She says you're so nice" Said Anna
"It's nice to know she thinks highly of me. Where's everybody else?" Asked Honey
"Quiz show, they'll be around soon. Where's those cute little bees Lucy says you got?" Anna Asked
Honey looked down sadly.
"They had an accident, they're in an animal hospital at the moment. They risked their lives to save me." Said Honey sadly
"Oh, I'm so sorry" Said Anna
"I know it's only been a day, but I miss them. They were my best friends" Said Honey
"Believe me honey, I know how you're feeling. A lot of us have animals close in our lives. Jasmine has her tiger, Merida her horse, Ariel her fish friend. For me it's a magic snowman. It's ok to feel scared for them" Said Anna
Honey looked up at Anna.
"I promise you, they're gonna be fine. If they were here they wouldn't want you all sad, they'd tell you to be strong. They'd say that right?" Anna Asked
"Yeah, they would" Said Honey
"See? You gotta be strong. I hear you're delivering to the marvel and Star Wars sections of the site, you gotta be strong there" Said Anna
Soon all the princesses came back for their scheduled break and got to meet Honey. She in turn also got to meet their special animal friends. They all gave her words of encouragement and told her they were sure her bees were gonna be alright. Honey grabbed her bag and said goodbye to them before going to find her other customers. Pooh bear was pretty cute, and Joy was ever so happy. Big hero 6 were an interesting bunch to say the least, though that Fred guy freaked her out a little. Judy Hopps was very friendly and kindly agreed to escort her to her next customers in Star Wars, but not before tossing Iron man his and Thor's orders as he flew by
"Thanks talking rabbit" Said Iron man
"Anytime mr stark" Shouted Judy
The Star Wars section was full of aliens and armored troopers. There were 9 main movies advertised as well as the many spinoffs and tv shows. She passed by a man in a white uniform and cape who was surrounded by black armored looking troopers. When she got close to the man, one of the troopers raised his blaster at her and said something she couldn't understand, his helmet muffled his voice. Judy moved honey along
"That's Director krennic, don't get too close to him if you know what's good for you" Said Judy
Judy took Honey into Emperor Palpatines private throne room. They were taken by red royal guards to see him. The throne room was very dark, and outer space could be seen through a large window. A single throne sat in the middle of the room, and on it was Emperor Palpatine, the one man Lucy said she feared the most, the all powerful ruler of the Galactic Empire. He wore an all black robe and hood, and he resembled a decrepit and ugly old man with yellow eyes. Honey felt cold around him, something about him told her he was nothing but pure evil.
"Welcome young Potts, I've been expecting you. You may leave your treats before me, my guards will compensate you on the way out" said Palpatine
Honey shakily did as he requested and left him his order. He used the force to bring the bag closer to him and he spun his chair around to face the stars behind him. The red royal guards stuffed some credits in her purse before escorting her and Judy out. There was only 1 more customer in this site she had to deal with, but Judy said she wasn't going with her to this throne room, but she would escort her.
After a short walk, Honey was led to another throne room by more red royal guards known as Praetorians, who resembled samurai. The throne room had a red wall with guards surrounding it, watching over a black throne where Supreme leader Snoke sat, the evil ruler of the First Order. Snoke was just as ugly as Palpatine, but he was taller, and wore a gold robe and gold slippers. He was talking to a woman and a black clad man with a lightsaber on his waist.
"I've never expected Skywalker to be so wise. I will give him and the Jedi order the death he desires. After your rebel friends are gone, we will go to his planet and obliterate the entire island" Snoke told the woman
The woman charged for him with the black armored mans lightsaber, but without lifting his arm, he flung her into a wall with the force. Snoke used the force to bring honey closer to him. Snoke downright terrified her, she could feel he was even more evil than Palpatine was. He simply reached into her purse and grabbed a bag with his name on it.
"I will get to know you some other time perhaps" Said Snoke
Snokes eyes widened as a lightsaber ignited, and Honey fell to the ground. She saw a blue lightsaber blade cut through snokes waist. The black armored man used the force to pull the lightsaber towards him, cutting the supreme leader in half. The man and woman then began fighting the guards, but honey didn't want to see it, so she ran as fast as she could away, back to Steam. We happy Few was close to her game, so she was able to get her delivery to Arthur quickly. Unfortunately while leaving to battlefront 2, she ran into the Nazis from Wolfenstein, who were admiring her looks a little too much.
"What's a pretty fraulein like you doing in a place like this?" One of the Asked her
Luckily for honey, the security drones kept the Nazis in check and she was able to continue her journey. Unfortunately things weren't much better in battlefront 2. She got bad directions and ended up trapped in amber that hardened like concrete. At least she wasn't alone, a man named Del Meeko was with her, and he agreed to bring Iden her order since he was her friend. But first they had to wait for Luke Skywalker to come by in the level they were in to cut them out. To pass the time, they were talking.
"So wait, you're telling me the man who destroyed the Jedi order is secretly one of them?" Del Asked Honey surprised
"No, Palpatines no jedi, but I'm not sure what he is" Said Honey "I swear when I get home tonight I'm gonna learn more about who I sell my stuff to"
Not long later, Luke came by to cut them out, but unfortunately honeys purse and part of her jacket were cut and damaged as he got them out.
"I'm terribly sorry, I'll pay for those" Said Luke
Honey went home to world designer after, driving a truck to Kaon. She felt nervous being around the Decepticons, they did try to take over the game. She felt even more nervous as 2 giant bird transformers lifted her delivery truck off the ground and flew her to Kaon. They dropped her off in another throne room, full of cons, and sitting on the throne was Devastation Megatron, all the cons with him were from the game transformers devastation.
"Hello Little Bee girl" Said Megatron
"Hi" honey Said shyly
"We've never officially met, you've met the other me though. I am Megatron, leader of the Decepticons. And these are my friends/ family if you will from my game, Soundwave, Shockwave, Blitzwing, Starscream, Skywarp, Thundercracker. The constructicons Bonecrusher, scrapper, mixmaster, scavenger, longhaul, hook. The insecticons Shrapnel, bombshell, and kickback. The stunticons Motormaster, Drag strip, breakdown, dead end, and wildrider. We've summoned you because we have something we wanted to say" Said Megatron
To Honeys surprise, all the cons kneeled down to her.
"We're sorry for our actions to your home. We don't want to lose your support for us" Said Megatron "wow that was easier to say than I thought it would be"
"Why are you apologizing to me? You should be apologizing to-
"We have. But you we hold in higher regard than them" Said Shockwave
"Why?" Honey asked
"You make something we need" Said Skywarp
Honey looked at the Energon cubes spilling out of her truck.
"We need Energon to survive. Your honey Energon has the power of at least 5 normal cubes. Just one gives us all the strength we need" Said Starscream
"Somehow, it has as much power as the Allspark" Said Soundwave
"We need you, and we see that now. We took our home for granted. I now know the true meaning of oppression, and no longer wish to inflict it on the Internet" Said Megatron
"You really want to change?" Honey Asked
All the cons nodded.
"We need people to see we can change, and try to do good. We can't convince the npc's, but you can at least spread the word around your city. We try to go near it the npc's will shoot us down" Said Thundercracker
"Please forgive us" Said Mixmaster
"We have nowhere else to go" Said Hook
"You're friends with the princess, convince her not to get rid of us" Said Shockwave
"I wouldn't call Lucy a friend, but she is a great customer. I'm a believer in second chances. I'm willing to give you guys a chance. But promise me you won't try to ruin the city anymore" Said Honey
"We promise" all the cons said at once
Honey smiled. She didn't fully believe the cons yet, but perhaps any actions they do could speak louder than words. The cons happily paid her for the cubes she brought and the cons flew her home. The NPC's got angry seeing the cons so they had to make a hasty retreat. Honey went into her office at the store, and sat at her desk. Her bees might've thought she was crazy for what she was about to do, but she believed even a Decepticon could change. She tore down all the anti transformer posters on her store windows, and put up a big new poster she made herself. It had both the Autobot and Decepticon logos on it, with the words 'we proudly serve' written above them.
"I've made my choice on the matter. I hope the city sees why they're not so bad" Said Honey
Honey went home after. Citizens, both npc and delisted game characters saw the poster. The npc's weren't happy, but the delisted characters defended her. Both sides left before a confrontation could begin.
