"Log entry 20030105. Under Shockwave's order I followed Optimus Prime's scout. After getting hit by a comet I crash landed on a very strange planet. While it's resources are similar to that of earth, it is inhabited by animals and not the bipedal battle beast but talking creatures that mostly walk around on all fours. It has take me a few days to get this computer back online, but I believe Bumblebee was also ended up on this planet. I will continue the hunt after I have completed a few more repairs to my ship. Log entry end." Lockdown frowned. It was fortunate that the odd creatures inhabiting this Everfree forest could not damage his ship, but they made repair to the outside difficult. Before he went hunting the yellow Autobot he wanted his ship flight worthy. Hopefully that pink pony wouldn't show up again today to share her inane stories. Grabbing his equipment he exited his ship and wondered what the minibot was up to. (I'm using bold for Lockdown cause well I figure as a giant robot he'd be loud.)
"Log entry 20030105. At Optimus Prime's request, I have arrived on this planet. Turns out the place is a potential gold mine for Energon, just like Earth. However, I'm getting weird electromagnetic readings across the board. And I fear for my safety and that of the native equines, for I believe I was followed here." --- "Whoa! So you're from another planet?!" asked Rainbow Dash, a cyan pegasus with a multicolored mane. "Yep," nodded Bumblebee. "AWESOME!!"
Twilight looked at the giant yellow man. Part of her agreed with Rainbowdash, but at the same time he could be dangerous or brought danger to Eqestria. As a princess it was her duty to find out."Mr. Bumble bee was it? Why are you here?" [I only had Lockdown have a log cause he's methodical. Bee didn't have to have one.]
[I was thinking that Bumblebee should keep one should he be MIA, that way the Autobots have some clues.] "Well, Princess, I was sent here. By Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots. You see, I am part of a war that spans the millenia. The war... for the planet Cybertron." "TELL ME MORE, BUMBLEBEE!!" begged Rainbow Dash. However, they were interrupted by Pinkie Pie. "Hey guys!" she said, "So yesterday I ran into a giant robot, just like Bumblebee here, but this one was bigger and meaner-looking. And when I tried to talk to him, he flicked me away!" Bumblebee's optics widened. "What's your name again?" "Pinkie Pie, why?" "Pinkie Pie, the robot you ran into was a Decepticon, the ancient enemy of the Autobots. And trust me, he's not here to make friends. He just wants your planet's natural resources. Stay away from him. If you anger him, he will not hesitate to kill you."
"Wait if you're part of a war, why would you come here?" Before Twilight could get her answer Pinkie popped up with her new. She didn't like Bumblebee's reply.... How did they even know he was telling the truth. Sure the other guy flicked Pinkie away, but there were more then a few times even she was tempted to send Pinkie flying. [Please don't decide on actions for Lockdown. That actually would be out of character for him. He's all about manipulating people. Why would he just flick Pinkie Pie?]
[Sorry bout that. :|] "We needed a place to hide from the Decepticons," explained Bumblebee, "but that won't be happening." "Heh, I bet I could take that Decepton or whatever it's called," said Rainbow Dash cockily.
"Rainbowdash, look at how big Bumblebee is compared to us. If this other one is even bigger then this could be real trouble." The princess was worried. Giant machines invading Equestria, she need to get back to the castle and use Spike to get a message to Celestia. ~~~ Lockdown set up some traps on the outside of the perimeter of his ship. Nothing lethal, but they would be a deterrent to the creatures of the forest. If the pink pony returned she'd be trapped in a sound proof energy cage where she could be ignored till he was ready to deal with her. Yesterday he was in the middle of some delicate computer repairs when she bothered him. His priority today was getting the sensor array back online. Bumblebee or at least his ship should be easy to detect among the planet's low tech level.
"Where'd you find him, Pinkie Pie?" asked Bumblebee. "The Everfree Forest..." she muttered in a terrified whisper. "Twilight, we'd better talk to whoever's in charge of this planet, or at the very least this country," Bumblebee said sternly.
"I am in charge here thank you very much." She did not like the creatures tone. Sure she was new to being a princess, but she was still a princess. "I will convene with my fellow princesses , but you should remain here." ~~~ "Who might you be? You are new for me to see." "Lockdown, Bounty hunter. You won't see me after I find my mark. I'm only here for the criminal Bumblebee." A talking Zebra now. This was a weird world. Not worth the effort passing on it's location to Shockwave.
Zecora left the giant robot. Did Twilight know of the strange creature yet. She wondered if the criminal he was looking for was about. ~~~~ While other Decepticons would go about using force to get what they wanted Lockdown much perfered working with the locals. The truth opened many doors and simplified the work. Of course an Autobot wouldn't see his words as the truth, but the fact of the matter was since the Decepticons ruled Cybertron they were criminal. Not to mention they endanger the worlds they flee too, because where they go the Decepticons follow. Finishing that thought he also finished his repair on the sensor array.
