"Please state your name, rank, and occupation for the record."
"Rodimus, member of the Primal Council, one of the leaders of the Autobots, and part time Captain of the Lost Light." Rodimus sat across the table, arms resting behind his head. He looked bored as he balanced his chair on its rear two legs.
"Not to be rude or disrespectful, but can we move on with this? I need to be Canterlot by noon for the 'Royal Wedding'" Rodimus said.
Rodimus' interrogator looked up from her notebook, her horn glowing with magic.
"The 'Royal Wedding'? Which princess is getting married?" The mare asked. Rodimus sat straight up, optics wide.
"Wait, you don't know?" Well if you want to know, I have to start at the very beginning." Rodimus stated. He took a deep breath.
"It all started with nothing, then BOOM! The Big Bang happened." Rodimus was suddenly smacked in the back of the head with a hand.
"Not the very beginning, idiot, she means how we got here." Rodimus' bodyguard Crosshairs said. Crosshairs was standing right behind Rodimus, a small toothpick in his mouth.
"Oh, got it, well it all started out with Tarn finding the Sirens…."
Twenty-one and two weeks earlier, aboard the Peaceful Tyranny, Primax 1005.19 Gamma
"What are they? I mean, besides a bunch of organics?" Helex asked, curiously poking the small heap of bodies on the floor. Nickel was crouched on the ground, tapping one of them with her wrenches.
"They're still alive, I think. Yeah, still alive." The medic stated. The woosh of the door was heard and Tarn strolled onto the deck, datapad in one hand, a cup of innermost Energon in the other. He stopped and looked at the three bodies. He looked at the others', amusement in his optics.
"Does anyone want to explain?" The outlier said lightheartedly. The other members of the Decepticon Justice Division looked at each other warily, unsure why Tarn was so cheerful. Tesarus straightened up and looked at his peers before looking at Tarn.
"According to Kaon, they just popped on the ship, somehow." Tesarus muttered, his head ducking as Tarn looked at him. Tarn seemed to think it over in his head.
"Agents of the Black Block Consortia?" He questioned.
"-We don't know, it's possible that they are.-" It was Vos who spoke up this time, lurking near Kaon.
"We won't know until they wake up," Helex said, "But they look a little young for their age."
"Put them in the brig until they wake up." Tarn said, his optics pointing toward his datapad, "I'll talk to them when they're awake." Helex walked over to the organics and picked them up, one in each of his hands, and strolled of into the hall in search of the brig. Nickel turned to Tarn, who had sat down in one of the chairs, all of his attention on the datapad. Nickel skated over to the outlier, hopped onto his leg, and peeked over the edge of the table.
"What'cha looking at?" She asked. Tarn put his drink down and looked at her.
"A report covering multiple disappearances throughout the galaxy." He answered.
"Now, can I finish reading the article, I think Kaon might need you're help with something."
Celestia's room, Canterlot, Equestria, Equestria
"Wait, you knew or parents?!" Luna gasped. Primus looked at her with genuine warmth, but also sadness, as if she reminded him of a long lost friend.
"Yes, I knew your parents, but their was no threat than." Primus said, taking a sip of tea, " I fear something bad is going to happen."
"Do you know what it is?" Celestia asked. Primus' eyes and horn flashed for a moment, a scroll appearing out of thin air.
"Unfortunately, I don't know, but this spell will help you in the future. But heed my warning, do not use it until the Horned One arrives." Primus said before leaving the guard and winking out of existence. Luna barely had time to look at the scroll when a guard burst through the oor, breathing heavily.
"Your Majesties, we have a situation. A giant horned thing is attacking Canterlot."
Celestia and Luna looked at each other. Uh-oh.
