"SCREAMING EAGLES!" Soldier bellowed as he fired his Black Box at some of the robots. Then a few of the magical shadow creatures cam towards him, when suddenly Derpy flew in front of soldier and attacked the shadow creatures, beating them.

"Thanks" Soldier said with a smile.

"Not a problem," Derpy replied with a smile. Soldier ran off to regroup with Heavy, medic, and Engineer, while Derpy regrouped with some of the other ponies.

"Robots are not backing down!" Heavy said to engineer as he fired Natascha.

"I know it, but we have to keep fightin'!" Engineer said as he got his sentry up to level three. He cursed at how it seemed like so many spies would appear and sap his inventions.

"Engineer, where is Sniper?" Medic asked.

"He is still sniping from Twilights house but he said he is going to try to get to us with his huntsman, but he's keeping his machina just incase." Engineer replied.

Then, scout ran up to Engineer's dispenser.

"Yo hardhat, on my way back here I saw some big beeping bomb thing. You have an idea what it is?" Scout asked.

Engineer looked toward where scout was pointing, and saw what looked like a giant sticky bomb on legs running towards his sentry. Demoman fired his bomb launcher at it, but the explosions didn't destroy it. Pyro then fired his scorch shot at it. It did little damage. Engineer then saw it heading toward his sentry that he had just made level three.

"NOO!" Engineer yelled, running toward his sentry, cursing worse than a sailor all the way. He picked it up and started to run. He looked behind him, and saw the sentry buster chasing him.

"HELP!" Engineer yelled.

"MPMPH MPMPH!" Pyro yelled, chasing and trying to destroy the sentry buster. But Pyro got held up when a robot Demoman started to fire at him, forcing Pyro to take cover. Engineer tripped. He dropped his toolbox, which made his sentry deploy.

The sentry buster ran up to it, and it's top started to spin. Engineer looked around, and saw a crater that an explosion made. Knowing there was no hope for his sentry, he got up and ran towards it to take cover. But just as he jumped, the sentry buster exploded, blowing him into the crater.

Engineer grunted in pain as he heard the once usual sound of bones breaking. He was bleeding in multiple areas. He did the only thing he had done for years when he was hurt.

"MEDIC!"

Medic immediately turned his head at the call of his long time comrade. "Ze Engineer is hurt!" he yelled. The others were caught in sudden shock. It was the first time they were caught off guard with a team mate being injured in years. Sniper and Twilight had just joined the others.

"We have to get him," Soldier said. Everyone else, especially Applejack, agreed. Applejack, Soldier, Sniper, and Demoman would cover Medic as they ran to Engineer.

"We're coming lad!" Demoman yelled, firing some pipe bombs at a robot soldier, destroying it.

"Get him doc, we've got you covered!" Sniper said. He fired his huntsman at a robot demoman, the arrow going straight into it's robotic eye.

Medic aimed his medi-gun at Engineer, healing him. As soon as Engineer was back at 100 % health, Applejack ran up to him and hugged him.

"Oh, Thank goodness you're aright!" Applejack said.

"Yeah, I ain't out of this fight yet." Engineer said. After the two finished the hug, they ran back with the others to where the other ponies and the princesses were. They were all tired as the robots and shadow creatures finally backed off.

"What's the status report?" Princess Celestia asked, nearly out of breath from the fighting.

"Some buildings got destroyed, and there were casualties in the royal guard, but no deaths have been confirmed." Twilight said.

"Why do I feel like they left for a reason.." Sniper muttered to Engineer as the group walked back to Twilight's house.

"Ah don't know, it may just be because of how long we were fighting." Engineer replied. The group entered Twilight's house, and Engineer walked over to the table where they had the plans to build the teleporter. Engineer looked on the table, then muttered something. He then franticly looked on the table.

"What is it?" Soldier asked as he and Sniper walked over to the table.

"The plans,' they're…. gone." Engineer said. Scout heard him, and being the loudmouth he is, blurted it out.

"THE PLANS ARE GONE?!"

Everyone looked at Scout, and then at Engineer.

"One of those bloody spies must have snuck in here and took it," Sniper said.

"Pretty good for a robot," Spy said.

"Well, the tank's gone, and we have no means of transportation to chase it," Demoman said. Everyone thought about it, thinking that there chances of going home had been crushed.

But Sniper had an idea.

"Princess Celestia," Sniper said, "I know you said that you couldn't teleport us back to our world, but can you teleport something from our world here?" he asked her.

"I could try," Celestia told him. Her and Sniper stepped outside, the others following. Sniper then whispered something to Celestia, and she nodded. She then closed her eyes and her horn started to glow, and a one way portal opened.

Sniper then pointed at an object in the portals view, and Celestia nodded. A bright beam of light then shined from the portal, and when it faded away, Sniper had a big grin on his face as he looked at one of his most prized possesions.

"Mates, we have a way to get to them now."

On the tank…

"Well, despite the amount of robots it took, we successfully took the plans for the teleporter," Shadow Stallion reported to Ghost Mare.

"Excellent, looks like the robots proved good use after all." Ghost Mare reported.

Deca Dance then ran into the room that Ghost Mare and Shadow Stallion were in. "Um, Sir and Mistress, we have a problem." the two looked at Deca, and then followed her. They came to a large room that had a monitor showing something that they would have never expected.

Shadow stallion broke the silence. "What the fu-

"I'M COMIN' FOR YA, YA MONGROLS!" Sniper yelled. The others feared for their lives. RED always knew it was potentially dangerous when Sniper was doing this. He swerved to avoid a random cow that was in front of them as Sniper's signature van speeded on towards the tank.

"Sniper, this is why I never like to ride anywhere with you!" Spy shouted as he and Rarity held on to each other for dear life.

"This is so awesome! I'll have to get me one of these!" Rainbow dash said.

"Quit hoppin around like a bunch of Kangaroos! You don't know how long it took me to get RED to let me keep this!" Sniper yelled.

"This is worse than having to spend the week at my old roommate's place!" Soldier said.

"Quit yer' complaining, we've almost caught up with the tank!" Applejack said. Sniper moved closer to the tank, and noticed a way to get in through a door that was on the side.

"Well, looks like the writer's making it easy for us." Scout said.

"Shh, he may not like it when we do that!" Pinkie pie said.

"What are you…AHHHH!" Spy yelled as Sniper swerved close to the tank.

"This is as close as I can get us, we're gonna have to jump!" Sniper said.

"Are you crazy!?" Scout told him.

"Since when did zhat matter?!" Medic said. Sniper tied his seatbelt to the steering wheel where it wouldn't move, and opened the door.

Scout and Dash went first, making it easily. Then Heavy and Fluttershy went next. It took Dash and Fluttershy together to lift heavy up and miraculously got him onto the tank. Applejack jumped next, followed by Engineer. Then Pyro use a air compression from his backburner to blow pinkie onto the tank, him following after. Medic jumped next, making it.

Soldier then jumped, and made it with a rocket jump. Demoman jumped, and used his chargin' targe to sprint onto the tank. He hit the side with a thud, and held his head.

"Oi, I have to learn how to stop that." he said with a moan.

After Twilight and the princesses jumped onto the tank, Sniper and Spy were left.

"Well, I guess we're next," Spy said.

"Yeah. You know, If we don't make it, I just wanna let you know, You're a good mate." Sniper said.

"You as well. I feel like We were meant to be colleagues." Spy said.

"On three then?" Sniper said with a smile.

"One," Spy started.

"Two," Sniper said.

"THREE!" Both yelled, jumping. The van decelerated when they jumped out. Sniper made it, but Spy slipped as he landed. He started to slip off the edge.

"Help!" Spy yelled. He fell over the Edge and closed his eyes, waiting to hit the ground. But he opened his eyes, and saw that he hadn't hit the ground. He looked up and was looking into the sunglasses of Sniper, who had grabbed his hand.

"I got ya mate." Sniper said. Spy smiled at his friend, and knew that he had- and will- always have his back. Spy grabbed Sniper's other hand and Sniper lifted him up.

"Thanks," Spy said, fist bumping Sniper.

"Don't mention it." Sniper said. They regrouped and entered the entrance way.

"So, we ready?" Soldier said.

"We better be," Sniper said,

"We're in the hornet's nest now mate."
