Last chapter: at the Royal Wedding Twilight Sparkle and Soarin are sent through a wormhole in a plot by the infamous Red Skull whose minions include Rainbow Dash's former friend Gilda the Griffon and Total Vane the head weather pony of Canterlot. Twilight and Soarin end up in the custody of SHIELD and meet the group's director Nick Fury and Agent Coulson

2 days later the Red Skull was drinking some cider in his secret HYDRA lair with his minion including Gilda and Total Vane to celebrate the success at the wedding. Few minutes after Twilight and Soarin were pulled into it the wormhole had been closed.

"I hate to ask but what was the purpose of that lightning show you had us pull at the Wedding?" asked a weather pony.

"Foolish horse" Red Skull sneered "That was an experiment to see if I could create a portal to get back to my home on planet Earth so we can return there to conquer it after we are finished taking over Equestria!"

"But how about Princess Celestia and those Elements of Harmony?" asked another weather pony.

"All 6 Elements have to be united for the Elements to work and Sparkle was sent through that wormhole" Gilda said laughing "as for Celestia, we have a way of dealing with her!"

"That we do mein apprentice" grinned Red Skull "that we do..."

Red Skull then turned to Vane and asked "the equipment placed in the clouds?"

"All removed sir" said Vane "thought it left Tesseract energy were unable to remove!"

"No worries" Red Skull said "no way for it to be traced back to us!"

Red Skull and Gilda then tipped their glasses of cider and said "Hail HYDRA!"

This provoked the HYDRA soldiers (in pony version of the black uniforms the old HYDRA sported during World War II) to salute and continuously chant "Hail HYDRA!" while Red Skull, Gilda and Vane all shared an evil laugh.

In Canterlot Castle the Wonderbolts, Spike, the rest of the Mane 6, Shining Armor, Cadence and Twilight's parents were all trying to help eachother cope.

"Soarin was one of our best and a good friend" Spitfire said sadly.

Twilight's friends were still affected by their friend's loss to say anything.

"Twilight...our daughter!" cried Mrs Sparkle as she was held by her husband trying to comfort her while trying to hold back his own tears.

"My little sis...my LSBFF" Shining Armor said barely holding himself together while hugging his equally upset wife.

"Sister what happened with the clouds that night?" asked Princess Luna facing her older sister.

"Total Vane said it was just a glitch from the clouds..." Princess Celestia started.

Rainbow Dash managed to snap out of her stupor and said "WHAT? There was no way a mere glitch in a cloud! Have the clouds been acting up lately?"

Princess Celestia looked thoughtful and said "come to think of it...days ago the clouds zapped mine and Luna's horn at the same time! When I asked Total Vane about it he said it was an accident."

"Okay 2 cloud accidents in a few days?" asked Dash "that cannot be a coincidence! Something's up here!"

"Perhaps I should question Total Vane more about what happened" said Princess Celestia thoughtfully.

"Total Vane" Rainbow Dash snarled "I have a cousin who works here in Canterlot as a weather pony and he tells me Vane is quite possibly the most brash, arrogant, egotistical Pegasus you'll ever meet!"

"I doubt that" muttered Rarity while Dash glared at her. Princess Celestia decided to further question Vane about what had happened while Twilight's friends, the Wonderbolts, Twilight's parents, Shining Armor and Cadence managed to get out of their stupor enough to decide to do what they can to help find Twilight and Soarin.

Meanwhile in Earth inside the SHIELD Carrier Twilight and Soarin were in the beds they were in before. Agent Coulson was watching them while Twilight was eating a daisy sandwhich and Soarin was eating an apple pie, Coulson looked annoyed having to play pet sitter. Then Nick Fury entered.

"So agents Coulson how are our little guests?" Fury asked.

"Well it seems Ms Sparkle here can do magic apparently" Coulson said showing Fury Twilight using the magic in her horn to float the sandwhich she was eating "when we asked if they were hungry Ms Sparkle wanted a daisy sandwhich and Mr Soaring wanted an apple pie. So we sent an agent out to the ground to pick flowers while another went down to the bakery to buy an apple pie, needless to say they weren't happy and told me that was now what they signed up for when they agreed to work as agents for a secret government agency!"

Fury looked amused by that statement, then entered a man with black hair and a black moustache.

"I was wondering if you were having any progress with questioning Loki..." the man started before he saw Twilight and Soarin.

"Brightly coloured horses" the man said.

"Hey I'm a unicorn pony while he's a Pegasus pony" Twilight said to the man.

"Talking magical ponies" said the man "Fury was this group of the superhumans not weird enough for you so you added talking ponies?"

"Stark these ponies were found by our men and we are keeping them here until we find out where to sent them" Fury said to the man called Stark.

"What group?" Twilight asked "and who's this Loki?"

"let me tell you this talking pony: Loki is a demigod we got imprisoned and we are trying to question him to find this cube called the Tesseract and if we don't the world is doomed" Stark said and Fury and Coulson glared at him, not liking the information he just gave away.

"Soarin" Twilight said facing Soarin "it maybe a while before we can find a way to get back to Equestria and these humans sound like they may need help!"

Soarin nodded understanding what Twilight was implying.

"well I guess we need all the help we can get!" Fury said.

"Great the circus is complete" muttered Stark.

"Stark show Ms Sparkle and Mr Soarin to the others" said Fury as he and Coulson left. Twilight and Soarin then left the room and followed Stark to a room at a table.

Seated was a red headed woman in a black jumpsuit, a man with long yellow hair and a goatee with armour and a red cape, a man with glasses, brown hair and a purple shirt and a man in a blue, red and white patterned armour with a silver star on it.

"Guys guessed who joined our group of circus freaks" said Stark and everyone turned their heads to Twilight and Soarin.

Just to tell you Red Skull will be the main villain on the Equestria side of the story and ultimately the entire story and Loki will be the villain on the Earth side...at least until we are done with the events of the Avengers movie!
