A day day later the remaining Mane Six were talking to eachother in front of Canterlot Castle when they saw the uniformed HYDRA soldiers marching towards the castle. They saw Total Vane leading the charge.

"YOU!" snarled Rainbow Dash "you have quite a nerve showing you face around here after you caused our friend's disappearance!"

"I have no time to deal with this" said Vane shaking his head "soldiers attack!"

The HYDRA Soldiers then charged forward, using their Tesseract powered weapons against the castle. The Royal Canterlot Guard quickly leapt into action against the soldiers.

"I will make you pay for what happened to Twilight!" Shining Armor snarled charging to Vane when he was hit by a blast though thankfully his armour protected him from serious harm (as the energy Red Skull was using for his soldiers weapons was not strong enough to totally obliterate someone like the weapons he had used in World War II)

"Don't be so sure Captain Armor" Gilda said smirking flying down to them holding a Tesseract pistol her boss gave her, in her left claw (he had sent her to watch over the attack) "cut off 1 head and 2 more shall take its place!"

"Gilda you working with Vane?" Dash asked looking at her former friend astonished "I know you had become a jerk but I didn't realise you could align yourself with these trash!"

"Dash I joined because I wanted to be on the winning team!" Gilda said "and once he takes over Equestria my fuehrer will reward me for my loyalty!"

"You're what?" Dash asked before Vane, Gilda and a whole bunch of HYDRA soldiers then stormed into the castle.

One of the Soldiers who before joining was apart of the Royal Canterlot army showed them to the Elements hiding place.

"There it is!" he said pointing his hoof at the hiding place. They heard hoof steps and saw Shining Armor, the rest of the Mane Six and Princess Celestia behind them.

"If you're after the Elements they are protected by a spell you cannot break" said Princess Celestia "surrender now peacefully and I may give you a more lenient sentence!"

They ignored them as they used their weapons to blast through the wall. The blast was so powerful it also broke the lock on the box containing the Elements.

Gilda then swooped in and grabbed the box. The remaining Mane Six, Shining Armor and Princess Celestia had shocked looks on their faces so the HYDRA soldiers took the opportunity to blast them with their weapons.

One of them was going to blast the Princess when Gilda stopped him and said "no! The fuehrer says he is the one to destroy the Princesses!"

They then retreated to the outside of the castle. They joined the remaining HYDRA soldiers as they then retreated back to their place.

"Who can stop us now?" Vane asked laughing.

Back on Earth and in the Hellicarrier Twilight, Soarin, Agent Coulson, Fury, Steve, Tony, Bruce, Thor, Clint and Natasha were in the debriefing room.

"Okay Goldilocks" Tony said looking at Thor "who is this Thanos person?"

Thor didn't even bother to glare when he responded "a ruthless warrior infamous throughout the universe, he was born on the planet Titan and with the gene of the planet's cousin race the Deviantats. He used bionics and mysticism to make himself more powerful than his people and through the cosmos he became infamous and referred to as the Mad Titan!"

"They also say that in his youth he met the physical embodiment of Death-and fell in love with her" Thor said and paused to look at the shock look on the faces of his teammates.

"They say he does the terrible things he does hoping to impress his love" said Thor.

"You're saying his motive is that he wants to win the hand of Death?" Bruce asked bewildered.

"Has he considered just giving her flowers?" Tony asked.

"Thanos had once faced my father and was defeated by him" Thor said "he may know how we can stop him before he gets to Earth!"

"Asgard here we go!" Tony said. Thor then used Mjolnir to contact Asgard about bringing them there.

In the secret HYDRA place Red Skull smiled as he looked at the box containing the Elements.

"Excellent my servants" Red Skull said to his troops "soon we will begin our conquest of Equestria and without these Elements our victory will be assured!"

"HEIL HYDRA!" he shouted sending his troops into their usual chant.
