Autobots In Equestria

Chapter 3

A young purple Unicorn dressed in a blazer and skirt gazed all around her as she calmly walked through town. Her mane and tail was mostly purple with a pink stripe and a dark purple stripe running through it. In her hands was a rather good sized book. Her name was Twilight Sparkle, personal student of Princess Celestia herself.

"It is such a beautiful day," she said, "The sun is bright and warm. The sky is clear. Today is just so perfect that absolutely nothing could possibly go..."

She was then knocked over by a small group running by.

"... Wrong?"

She looked in the direction of those who pushed her went. From their attire, build, and features; she could tell they were an enemy they faced once in the past: the Diamond Dogs.

What bugged the Unicorn was why they were here? She got her answer when she heard a young filly's scream; one she knew.

"Apple Bloom?"

She looked harder at the retreating canines and could make out a very familiar trio of fillies being held captive by the lead dog. Before she could make a move, a quartet of stallions went right by her in hot pursuit of the Diamond Dog kidnappers. She pushed herself up and followed them.

"What is going on here?"

Jolt huffed as he and his Autobot comrades chased after the kidnappers on foot... hoof... whatever they had. Right now, he was really wishing he had a vehicle mode.

'What I wouldn't give for four wheels.'

Mirage then jumped up onto a cart and catapulted himself forward. He drew out his clawed whips and lashed them out at the nearest dog, catching him by the collar.

"Gotcha!"

The dog tried to shake him off by ramming a garbage can but to no avail. Mirage hopped onto the turned over lid and began to skid across the ground like a jet skier. He landed gracefully and braced himself. The red Autobot gave a strong jerk of his whips, sending the dog crashing into a nearby produce cart and effectively knocking him out. Needless to say, the owner was none too thrilled about his wares being crushed.

"My Cabbages!"

"Sorry, old chap" said Wheeljack as he and the others passed.

The two remaining dogs came to halt when they reached their destination: the town square. All activity in the square came to halt when they saw these strange dogs showed up. Suddenly, several spots on the ground began to pile up and exploded. Many ponies started to panic, like a certain flower trio, when the dust cleared; revealing a large pack of dogs. Three then stepped forward.

"Did you get them?" the apparent leader asked.

The one holding the crusaders threw them to the ground in front of him. The dog in charge smirked at his captives but was then drawn towards a voice calling out.

"Hold it, fleabag!"

They all looked to see the four Autobots catch up to the kidnappers. One dog moved to stop them until Jolt stepped in and grappled with his attacker. The blue warrior then smirked.

"Let me show you why my name is Jolt."

The dog then felt several hundred volts of electricity go through him. When he stopped, the zapped canine fell backwards; his fur standing on end. The others backed away in shock (no pun intended.)

"Anyone else will get the same unless you release those kids," Jolt threatened.

Instead of whimpers or the like, all anyone heard was the sound of a single individual clapping. The dogs all looked back and parted for everyone to see. It was a single, very large dog. He appeared to be of the Great Dane breed and was very well muscled.
