Transformers: Harmony and Chaos (🇨omplete🇩)

Chapter 8: Change

"ALL UNICORNS TO ME!" Shining Armor commands, "Erect the force field now!"

All of the unicorn guards stand together with Shining Armor, as well as Princess Cadence, and begin focusing their power, until a giant pink shield completely envelops Ponyville.

The changelings begin to slam and hit the force field. The unicorns begin to show signs of strain.

"This has gone on for too long." Shining Armor says to Ratchet. "I don't know how much longer we can hold."

Ratchet locks and loads, his gun.

"Then if the time comes, we fight together." The Autobot medic defiantly says.

As if on cue, the force field begins to crack, then it completely shatters. Now there's nothing to stop the changelings from getting to the ponies.

"All guards, able bodied colts, and stallions, prepare for battle!" Shining Armor calls out.

He then runs over to Cadence.

"Cadence, get all the elderly, the sick, mares, young fillies, and foals out of town. They're no longer safe here."

"But what about you?" She asked with concern.

"I am the Captain of the guard. It is my duty to protect our citizens. And it is also your duty as the acting ruler to safeguard those who can't fight back. I'll be fine, I promise. Ratchet, and my best guards will be with me."

With that, the two share a passionate kiss, then go their separate ways.

The Pegasi guards fly up to intercept the changelings in an aerial battle, while the unicrons fire bolts from their horns at any changeling that had already landed.

Ratchet himself had already taken down many with his taser blasts, and Shining Armor and his unicron guard charge toward another group of invaders.

Soon the changelings begin assuming pony guard form, adding confusion to the ranks. Some guards don't know who to attack, and are taken down, others, in a panic, attack everything in sight, be they friend or foe.

All Ratchet can do at this point, is fire on any changeling that hadn't altered their forms yet.

Back at Castle Canterlot......

More cocoons have been destroyed, and more ponies have been rescued. Applejack and Big Macintosh finally find Apple Bloom, and are overjoyed to see her. Rainbow Dash also freed her number one fan, Scootaloo from her encasement.

Pinkie Pie finds Vinyl Scratch and Octavia, while Rarity and Fluttershy free Daisy and Carrot Top. Twilight continues to press forward shooting bolts at any changeling that comes her way. She then kicks down the door that leads to another chamber.

"Time fer ya to get goin' home Big Macintosh, and get Apple Bloom to safety!" Applejack says to her brother.

"But what about you sis?" Apple Bloom says with concern.

"Dontcha worry about me. I can handle this."

"Be careful AJ, an' come back in one piece. I love ya sis." Big Macintosh says.

"Eeyup" Applejack replies using her brother's famous line.

With that, Big Macintosh gallops off with the rest of the rescued ponies as they head back to Ponyville.

Twilight Sparkle continues deeper into the lower levels of the castle.

"Where are they? Where are the Elements?" She said frustrated that she still hadn't found them yet.
