Twilight and Flash Shipping?

"HELLOOOO! Princess Celestia!" The door slams open, and the unlucky royal guard was smashed by the opening door. "Can I call you Celestia? We're practically family now that I'm dating the fair Twilight!"

Twilight was staring, unamused by Flash Sentry's smugness as he trots all swag-like into the room. Princess Celestia, who was with her, was a bit stunned how this pony swaggered into her castle.

"Wow! Canterlot Castle! I could get used to living here," said Flash, as he reaches for Twilight's hoof. She swatted the hoof away. Not taking any offense, Flash leans casually against Celestia.

"Maybe after graduation there'll be wedding bells! Lucky you!"

Flash then walks off, heading for the exit. The unfortunate guard was still out of it after being smashed by the door. Celestia glared at Flash's back.

"Let's go, Twilight! Mustn't be late for our first public appearance as Canterlot's newest celebrity couple," Flash calls to his girlfriend. He hums to himself, very happy for how this date will go with Twilight.

Celestia casts her glare over at her precious prodigy. "Ditch him the first chance you get," she hissed quietly.

Twilight just smiles nodding to her suggestion. "Don't worry Princess Celestia... there's another guy I'm thinking of dating."

The Equestria Daily

PRINCESS TWILIGHT AND NEW BOYFRIEND!
FLASH SENTRY DITCHED FOR EMERALD LIGHTNING

The hottest celebrity couple in Canterlot, nay, all of Equestria, is now Princess Twilight Sparkle and her new boyfriend, a unicorn by the name Emerald Lightning. After rumors of former fling Flash Sentry getting under the hooves of Princess Celestia, Princess Twilight casually broke off her relationship with Flash Sentry. A month later those of The Scoop have seen Princess Twilight mingling with a unicorn while in Manehattan.

Turns out before Twilight Sparkle became Princess Twilight Sparkle, she and the unicorn Emerald Lightning have had a former relationship a couple of years ago. Now, they are back together and it looks like we may see them as the next royal couple.

Princess Celestia declined to comment on Emerald Lightning; however her younger sister, our fair Princess Luna, did have some words about Emerald Lightning. "Emerald Lightning is a very strong unicorn and with a great talent for magic. Personally, I am glad Twilight and Emerald are back together again. They were such a cute couple before. Hopefully, this relationship lasts beyond marriage in the future." Luna shared a warm smile; as if she knew something we didn't know.

We wish all the happiness for Princess Twilight and Emerald Lightning. Maybe Luna is right: Are there wedding bells in their future?

See pg. 3 for photos of their date at The Villa

While Flash Sentry is an interesting guy, we don't know much of this dood. Pretty much writers who do xovers have fun shipping Twilight with either Harry Potter or Naruto Uzumaki. My ponified Harry Potter goes by Emerald Lightning. Can you guess why? :P

Blue Blood

"Oh for heaven's sake," Rarity shouted out in frustration, "ponies rob liquor stores all the time!" When Rarity saw all the mares look at her, she finally comes out and admits what was wrong with her. She exclaims loudly, "I slept with Blue Blood!"

3... 2... 1...

Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Jade Shine, Rainbow Dash, Octavia, Fluttershy, Vinyl Scratch, Lotus Blossom, Aloe, and a teenaged Sweetie Belle, Applebloom, and Scootaloo all cry out in shock and horror.

Rarity looked down in shame, as the cries of shock soon died down.

"So where's all the supportive stuff?" Rarity asks of her friends.

The other girls didn't know what to say.

"What in the name of Celestia's the matter with you, sister?" Sweetie Belle exclaimed in an indignant manner. She couldn't believe what her sister had done!

Rarity sobbed as she tried to explain what happened to her. It went along the lines of being drunk, having lost the last stallion of her dreams because of jealousy, and that she would never find a good stallion to marry and then exclaimed that her life sucked and she'll be one of those lonely spinsters with one too many cats.

"But don't you remember that blood oath we all took after that last incident with Prince Blue Blood, Rarity? We all took that blood oath to ensure that stallion does not get the chance to breed!" Twilight shouted, slamming a hoof on the table harshly.

Rarity sniffles. "I'm sorry... I just... I don't know what came over me!"

Sweetie Belle gasped, catching the others' attention. "Oh my god..."

"Sweetie Belle, what's wrong?" asks a concerned Scootaloo.

"Don't you girls see it now? From now on, every time I show myself in the market in Ponyville..." Sweetie Belle got up from the table and walks around the counter of the front room of the Sugarcube Corner, "All the other ponies will point and say: There goes the sister of the mare who slept with Blue Blood!"

She facehoofs, looking very depressed at the thought. Immediately Sweetie Belle's two friends go and comfort her, and the other older mares also give comforting words, leaving poor Rarity by her lonesome streaked with tears. She couldn't believe the insensitivity of her friends...

Yeah... sad...

Random Loops I

I

"Okay, next time, we do not allow Pinkie Pie to steal the Portal Gun from the Portal Universe."

"Agreed."

Twilight Sparkle was sipping some apple cider laced with tequila, and was sharing it with Harry Potter, or rather in his pony form, Emerald Lightning, this fused loop.

"Twilight, since in this loop I am adopted by your family and we're raised as siblings and Celestia's students, what do you want to do to change some variants?"

Twilight thought for a moment. "Well... I guess we can try a relationship that takes time to build with incest teasing here and there."

"Too bad we're the only ones awake this time..."

"Well at least we're not fused with Naruto's world again. The last time he, Sasuke, and Sakura appeared, we immediately banished that girl to the moon so the universe didn't implode right from the start."

Emerald cringed a bit; having hung out with Naruto time and again if their worlds fused, has met Sakura Haruno. She was insane sometimes...

"Are you drunk yet, Twilight?"

Emerald was feeling that buzz from the tequila in the apple cider.

"A bit. Why?"

Emerald was blunt with this next question. "Wanna fuck?"

Twilight gives Emerald a look, before smiling wickedly. It's been too long since she's last done the dirty deed with anypony.

"Why the buck not?"

They can just get their personal itches scratched right now, and then work into their "taboo relationship" later on. Too bad for some reason, the universe decided to throw a monkey wrench into this with the appearance of Princess Celestia twenty minutes later walking in on her two protégés going hard and fast in the middle of the library's floor of the tower they stayed at while at Canterlot Castle.

"TWILIGHT SPARKLE! EMERALD LIGHTNING!" That was Celestia's Royal Canterlot Voice.

The two ponies froze. Oh shit...

II

(This is an alternative of the story from MLP Loops by Saphroneth that involved Discord imitating the Weeping Angels.)

As Cheerilee lead the colts and fillies away to continue their fieldtrip of the Canterlot Gardens, Discord's statue finally cracked and his eyes open. He looks around before immediately snapping his claws and POOF his entire body is now stone texture.

"Well now, looks like Twilight and the others aren't awake this time. Hm..."

Which was good and bad for Discord: Good because he could do lots of crazy things this time, bad because Twilight wouldn't join him as she's not awake in this particular loop. A guard was seen in the distance turning the corner so Discord struck up his pose to ensure nothing was wrong. Being frozen mid-laugh was not fun. The guard walked by, ignorant of what's really going on. Once Discord was alone, a smile crept across his face.

"Now let's see... my things are still where I last placed them before Celly and Lulu stoned me with the Elements of Harmony. And my black seeds I planted have yet broken into the Tree of Harmony. Hm... Maybe it was a bad idea to buy those seeds off that Haruno girl I met a long time ago."

One loop he remembered was after Twilight became an alicorn and his seeds finally sprouted. Many ponies young and old would try to combat them and some would get molested by the vines. He giggled like Glen Quagmire; he remembers Luna and Celestia having been found after that adventure in the Everfree Forest's cave that sheltered the crystal tree constantly getting raped by the vines. The black vines made a new genre in the pony porn industry afterward...

He shakes his head. No need to remember that. He was glad he didn't get arrested for all the counts of reports of ponies being molested when Ponyville was overrun by the vines.

"I can go the normal way to reveal I have returned..." He looks at his stone textured skin again and a bright glowing light bulb poofs over his head. "Or I can do something delightfully wicked and funny." He grabs the bulb and eats it.

=0=0=0=

It's been a week since Discord returned, and normally his original self would have already revealed his return by creating cotton candy clouds that rained chocolate milk, make the apples grow super large, turn the rabbits into crossbred reindeer, turn Pinkie Pie into a perverse orgasmic mess with all the yummy pink candy cloud floss and the chocolate milk rain, and then steal the Elements of Harmony and hide them in Ponyville after turning it back into the chaos capital of the world.

Instead, he remained silent. And only did subtle changes to himself as he continued posing as a statue. Some would see this and blink and he would return to his "original position", making the ponies that pass through to think they were hallucinating. Then finally, this paid off when Shining Armor took a walk in the gardens with Cadance one sunny afternoon and Cadance was the first to notice his new "addition"; the jacket worn by Michael Jackson in the Thriller music video.

"Shining Armor... is that statue wearing a jacket?"

Twilight's brother looks up, and he blinked. Discord did not make any movement since Cadance was looking at him.

"How did a jacket get put on this statue?"

Shining Armor was the captain of the guards for a month ever since Ironhoof retired and he was promoted up the rank of captain. He's seen this statue now and then, but never properly marveled at it.

"We should inform Princess Celestia of this."

Cadance nods her head, in agreement. This was strange, indeed. As the two ponies left, Discord smiled before waving good-bye in silence. When Cadance looked back, she stopped. Shining Armor noticed and looked back.

"Cadance, what's-"

Then his words died off. The statue was now in a pose; Discord had struck up one of Michael Jackson's iconic poses the moment Cadance's head turned.

"Can you teleport away? I'm getting that creeping feeling," said Shining Armor.

"Yeah. Hold on."

Enveloping her magic around them, they vanish with a crack of magical teleportation. Discord grins. This was going to be fun.

=0=0=0=

When Celestia and Luna investigated, they see Discord in his stone prison. There was no coat to be seen on the statue, and Discord was in that pose he made laughing before the Harmony Beam stoned him.

"Cadance said she saw a red coat on Discord's statue..."

"I don't see a coat, dear sister," said Luna.

The two pony sisters looked around the garden to find this elusive red coat, but found nothing. When the two look back at Discord's stone prison, they jumped back a bit; Discord was no longer holding his laugh pose and instead was holding his claw and paw over his eyes. This was the Weeping Angel pose...

"What's going on?"

They blinked. Discord was back his normal "self". They shake their heads. Something's going on here...

"Let us leave."

They turned their back and walk away. Luna looks back, only to scream catching Celestia's attention. Discord's statue was gone!

"Where... what the hell?"

"Tia... what's going on? Where is Discord?"

"I don't know, Lulu..."

Celestia looks back and teleported herself and Luna away by magic, reappearing a distance away and displayed shock on her face, one which soon imitated on Luna's face once she saw why her sister panicked. Discord was in front of them, in the pose of a predator lunging for the kill. They look to one another.

"Sister? What manner of magic is happening?"

That was the mistake they made in looking away. Celestia and Luna gaze back at Discord's supposedly moving statue, only to find him back where he was, back to normal holding that frozen face of mid-laughter.

=0=0=0=

The statue of Discord did nothing else nor did it move. The sisters eventually continued their royal duties, with the sun lowered and the moon raised to begin the night. It was when the next morning would come for Celestia to wake up, and raise the sun that everypony heard her frightened scream of terror in her royal bed chambers. All the guards charged in, weapons at the ready and Luna ready to unleash some powerful magicks. Celestia was cowering against the bed dresser.

All ponies saw the frozen statue of Discord positioned next to her, in the manner of staring down like a creepy stalker.

"Sister! What is his statue doing in your room?" Luna questions her elder sister.

"I do not know," she answered, unsure of what was going on.

Luna comforted her sister as she directs orders to the guards. Once Celestia was calm, she raised the sun to begin the day, while the guards were bringing the statue out of the room. Something was afoot.

=0=0=0=

Celestia had been spying upon the statue for the whole day, despite the fact it was raining today. She did learn one thing: the statue moved if you even so much as blinked away. She learned this fact when her eyes were tired from so much staring; she rubbed her eyes once to rid of the sleepiness and Discord's statue was past the statue of Starswirl the Bearded. Another blink and it was frozen in place climbing the fence. She lowered the binoculars... it was gone... only to turn around and see it pointing a claw at her causing her to not look away nor blink. This is how Luna came across her, drenched and wet from the dying rain, and the statue just inches from touching her sister.

"Celestia? What's going on now?"

"Don't move, Luna! It's how it moves! Look away and it can move without magic!" Celestia warns Luna.

Luna walks around it and stands next to her sister. Something was terribly wrong here. It was frankly scary to think statues could move. But what about the others?

"Do the other statues move, Tia?"

"Nope. Just me," Discord finally answered. "I just wanted to scare the horse poo outta you."

The girls stared, shocked as Discord snaps his claws and the stone skin vanished, replaced back to his natural skin tones/colors.

"What? I was freed after so long, but I thought of playing a prank." Discord sees the sisters' horns light up with vibrant magical output. "What? It was funny!" he exclaims with a grin.

Celestia and Luna's reply was to blast Discord with the strongest fire and ice magic attack ever in the history of pony kind. Later on, Princess Celestia forced the Mane Six to use the Elements to stone him again. Only after he was turned back into a statue, he was holding a sign in his lion paw that read, "Totally worth it!" And his other hand/claw was clenched shut with the index and pinkie fingers stuck out.

Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, and Emerald Lightning (Harry Potter) found themselves banished to the moon. The only pony not among them was Sakura Haruno. Down on Earth, somewhere in Equestria, Sakura laughed hysterically driving chills of terror down the backs of Queen Chrysalis, Discord, King Sombra, and practically every other pony, griffin, dragon, and intelligent creature across the world as the Elements of Harmony spiraled in a helix ring formation around her body.

As CM Punk would likely say, "There goes the last fuck I give."

Goodbye, universe!

IV

Scootaloo was minding her own business as she walks down the intensely foggy street of Manehattan. No one was awake yet this early morning. Another thing you should keep in mind is that Scootaloo was wearing Dante Sparda's costume, and the skull on the Rebellion was now pony-shaped instead of human-shaped. Finally: the ponies in this fused loop were now half pony and half human. I believe the word is anthro.

"Can't believe we're fused with Devil May Cry this time around," Scootaloo said, mostly to herself. She was older in this fused loop, if she had to guess, age eighteen. However her disability still was with her: she can't fly. However, much like how she uses her wings to give herself boosts of speed, she applied this tactic to when she did her sprinting dashes.

She returned to the building where she had her business, only to find two girls waiting for her. Without a word, she walks to her desk, kicks her feet up as she sits down in the recliner, and just gets lazy. Applebloom smiled as she walks over to the desk from the juke box in the corner and sits on the corner of Scootaloo's desk. Her shirt strained to hold back the girl's breasts from spilling out of the bra. She had to be like C cup-size!

Scootaloo's hand ran up her own chest... her mid-A cup breasts... why was she semi-flat chested?

"Hey, I know what ya thinkin', Scoots, and I don't know why I got bigger boobs than you."

Applebloom was apparently in the role of Dante's friend Lady, the gun-toting human Devil Hunter. Applebloom was able to rock Lady's outfit from Devil May Cry 4. Over on the couch laying sprawled in a lazy manner was Sweetie Belle, wearing Trish's leather outfit from the anime of the DMC universe. Sweetie Belle's breast size was the middle between Scootaloo and Applebloom's.

"Okay... so I'm Dante, you're Lady, and Sweetie Belle is Trish. Since we don't see Temen-ni-gru pointing like a giant dick in the middle of Manehattan, I assume we're somewhere during the anime or after the events of Devil May Cry 4."

"So, what are we going to do?" asks Sweetie Belle.

"I told you that you needed to make some friends, nothing more. I saw the signs of Nightmare Moon's return and I knew it was you who had the magic inside to defeat her, but you could not unleash it until you let true friendship into your heart. Now if only another will as well." Eyes drifting away from her student Twilight, Celestia's eyes rest upon a pony whose heart was no longer tainted by darkness. "Princess Luna!"

Princess Luna gasped, hearing the commanding tone of her elder sister.

"It has been a thousand years since I have seen you like this," she says, walking calmly to the smaller alicorn, "Time to put our differences behind us. We were meant to rule together, little sister."

Everypony was surprised at this revelation. Well, if you were born after the royal sisters had split, you'd be surprised too. "Sister?"

"Will you accept my friendship?"

Princess Luna's eyes moisten with tears. Even after a thousand years, she had believed her elder sister would no longer love her. But, now she felt... no longer lonely. She burst into sobs, throwing her forelegs around her elder sister. "I'm so sorry! I missed you so much, big sister!"

Princess Celestia closed her tear-filled eyes, holding her darling little sister once more. "I've missed you, too."

"NO!" Loki screamed at his computer monitor, watching the episode streamed via the mortal realm Earth's Netflix website. "Luna, she banished you for one thousand years! You don't have to put up with this bullshit!" Yes, Loki was yelling at his monitor screen...

There was a knock on the door, before it opened. Thor pops his head in. "Brother, are you watching the magical horses again?" he questions, having heard his brother's ramblings and erratic shouting.

"SHUTUPTHOR! GOAWAY!" he yells out, covering the flat-screen PC monitor.

Thor rolls his eyes and closes the door, returning to his room.

Hey! Guess what!

"What?"

"But Twilight," exclaims Rainbow Dash, "If we no longer have the Elements of Harmony, how will we be able to save Equestria in a time of crisis?"

Discord pops into the scene, beaming a wide grin with his chest puffed out in pride. "I'll do it!"

"NO!" shout Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie.

"Umm, maybe," Fluttershy said however in a whisper. That of course was drowned out when the girls exclaimed no at that same moment.

Poor Discord...

He needs more friends...

For those wondering, yes I had changed the title. I felt it wasn't attracting the attention it should have what with it being a collection of oneshot My Little Pony stories had I remained with the original title. But do not worry; those who are fans of the CMC, there WILL be more CMC stuff. Just now it'll expand further, even into crossover territory.

I hope everypony understands...

Grand Theft Filly

"This is the last time we allow Discord to break the boundaries of the universe," said Scootaloo.

The old station wagon that Discord brought from, he claimed the human world, was now a burning hunk of a wreck in a deep ditch somewhere between Manehattan and miles away from Ponyville. It was Applebloom, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, and Babs Seed whom gone on a joyride. How they managed to drive a car when they're still technically children was a mystery. Of course, the chaos they created joyridin' through Manehattan...

Police sirens echo in the distance.

"Let's book it!" shouted Babs.

The Cutie Mark Crusaders ran for their lives.

Twilight's Boyfriend

"Oh c'mon Twilight! There's no way you can have a better score than me!"

"Oh yeah? Just try and challenge my intellect, Potter!"

There are two humans casting glares at one another. You can just imagine the electricity arcing between the dark-haired and violet-haired teens. The boy, Harry Potter, had the most vivid of green eyes, behind small-framed black glasses. He wore a pair of black jeans, and a buttoned white blouse with sneakers. And the girl, Twilight Sparkle, wears a long purple skirt with the insignia of twinkling sparkles on one side of the skirt, thigh high-length socks, pink shoes, and pink arm warmers with a short-sleeved white blouse. Her eyes were violet to almost blue, and her waist-length hair was a moderate violet color with moderate sapphire blue and brilliant pink rose streaks.

Often her hair is a topic of discussion as half the school believes it to be colored even though she has told many people it's her natural color. Sometimes, the student populous has wondered how long it will take until the two crumble and start making out in Study Hall. There's even a betting pool (unofficial, of course) spoken of in whispers among both students, and a few of the school's faculty. Yes, this is very funny if you can imagine this.

The test scores were handed back...

"Ha! In your face!" Twilight Sparkle chants, as the boy sitting across from her left, Harry Potter, just readjusts his glasses in a calm manner and doesn't rise to her tempting bait.

"Ahem!"

Their Social Studies teacher gives a look at Twilight, and the rest of the class chuckles, amused by yet another Twilight/Harry match. Blushing, she sits back down and puts her A+ paper away in one of her marked folders of her book binder.

Harry casts a sly grin at Twilight.

The school bell rings, signaling the end of the day, and all students start to pack up and leave.

"How long until those two just admit they love each other?" Harry hears some girls talk, walking by him in the hallway.

"You really think their arguments constitute a healthy relationship?"

"Maybe? There's been stranger shipping before."

"That's in anime, Jennifer!"

Harry shakes his head, before bumping into Twilight. Both teens don't look at one another, even as they board the same school bus, and around thirty minutes later are dropped off on the same street. As soon as the bus pulls away and disappears around the street corner, Twilight finally moves much closer to Harry.

"Hey, Twilight?"

"Yeah?"

"How long until we prank the entire school, babe?"

"At the end of school, before Test Finals," answers Twilight, as Harry pulls his girlfriend close by the waist.

Yeah... how funny would this be when they prank the whole school at the end of the school year? They are academic rivals in public, and lovers in secret. Once entering the house and kicking the door shut with his boot, Harry shoves Twilight against the wall and claims her lips with a hot kiss, one that she eagerly returns pulling her arms around her boyfriend's neck. There was another secret that most of their peers do not know: both of them can use a mystical force known simply as magic.

And then we have a third and final secret: Twilight Sparkle was originally from another world and she ended up vanishing into Harry Potter's world and entering his life. And even though they have both since found love in one another, Harry vowed to Twilight that one day he will find a way to reopen the portal that sent her to his world, and together visit the magical land of Equestria...

A pairing crossover with Harry Potter. In which case I don't own Rowling's Boy-Who-Lived. Let's just say Harry does not live with the Dursleys, is living in America after being abandoned there by Vernon, and has never met Dumbledore or anyone from the British Wizarding World.

My Little Pony XY

The Kalos Region was a beautiful country to visit if you're ever lucky to travel there. What with the many different types of Pokémon, as well as the exotic locations one can visit, Kalos was a wonderful country to live in. In the south-west area of Kalos, there existed a beautiful city. It was not as big as Lumiose City, but the location, called New Ponyville City, was home to a race of humanoid equines. Now, it's been a relatively new city that existed in Kalos for the past ten years.

Ten years ago, an abnormal energy burst was felt across the region and suddenly a foreign-looking town emerged in this location, half a mile from the coast. The inhabitants of this town, which included a large apple orchid, were now anthropomorphic. The anthro-turned ponies still retained many of the traits which made them ponies: such as the ears and tails, the colored coats, their feathery wings, and their unicorn horns. Something had happened that tore a hole through the fabrics of realities, the boundaries which separate worlds and dimensions, and from this brief tear in space brought to this world a town filled with what the inhabitants once called themselves ponies.

Sure, there was mass confusion, and many wondered what had happened.

However, to the old inhabitants of Ponyville, there was a split. For you see, only half of the town had vanished and entered this new world; the other half was left behind when the strange magical anomaly occurred. Friends and family were separated due to this ten year long event. In only ten years, the humans of the Pokémon World have grown used to them, and have easily accepted them amongst their society. The children of New Ponyville got into the lifestyle of becoming Pokémon Trainers. The small town was rebuilt into a city, with the old version of Ponyville replaced with tall stone and metal buildings, roads for cars and bikes, and bustling neighborhoods where families can raise their children. Sweet Apple Acres became the main attraction for it becoming a popular city to visit in the past ten years.

But what does this mean?

Well, for those who for ten years have been in the Pokémon World, they have given up any hope of returning and have made their lives in this world. For a certain trio of once-fillies, the Cutie Mark Crusaders were currently teenagers in human years. Well, three teenage girls, and one teenage boy.

The girls were Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo. The sole boy in the four person team was David.

"If only we had a car to drive," complained Scootaloo.

Since the Cutie Mark Crusaders turned into anthro ponies, they looked different since losing their full pony forms. Well, they basically still were equines, but having gone through puberty, and growing up, the girls were older now and looked sexy. Their legs were longer, flanks taut and defined. They were taller in height, but likely still got some growing to do. Puberty was like an artillery shell when it struck, and the changes did not unnoticed.

Scootaloo's mane and tail pretty much remained the same style and color, and her wings folded against her back had grown a bit since she grew up these past ten years from the short nubs they used to be, into the pair of wings that finally gave her the taste for the skies she craved as a filly. Her hair was slightly longer along the sides and back, and the frontal area of her hair was still in a wind-swept style of fashion. One could say she grew her hair to match Rainbow Dash's mane. She wore a pair of blue jean shorts, a rainbow-colored Pokébelt, gray sneakers, and an orange hoodie that has the Pokéball symbol on the back, with a black tube top that also acted as a bra. She was a mid-A cup in size. Because Scootaloo was an athletic girl, she had lightly-toned muscle. And she was not afraid to show it now and again.

"None of us have a driver's license, Scoots. So stop complaining," Sweetie Belle tells off the winged girl.

Sweetie Belle looked like a model with her curly two-toned pink and light violet hair and tail to compliment her beauty. In the ten years past, her hair had grown out longer and she had since styled it to resemble her sister who was in Canterlot when the incident ten years ago had happened. Her unicorn horn was a bit longer. She wore a ruffled light violet skirt that reached to her knees, white knee-high socks and shoes with pink laces, a white t-shirt and a half-zipped rose pink vest with short blue sleeves. On the back of the vest contained the Pokéball symbol. The accessories she wore were a pink Pokégear, an opalite pendant necklace, and small pale blue diamond-shaped earrings. Sweetie Belle was definitely the most buxom of the three, and it certain caught the eyes of wandering boys.

"Yeah, Scootaloo," said the third girl of the group, Applebloom. "Besides, we're not far from New Ponyville. I can't wait to see Pound and Pumpkin Cake. They're twelve years old and ready to go on their Pokémon journey all on their own. That's what Pinkie Pie told us in her last phone call."

And Applebloom's red hair and tail were long. Her hair has since been grown out and styled to match her lost sister Applejack, who too was with her friends in Canterlot when half of Ponyville vanished ten years ago. Unlike a simple hair braid to keep her hair in the Applejack ponytail style, she used her old red bow as the hair tie. She wore rugged dark blue jeans and Pokébelt, brown cowgirl boots, and a red and white flannel shirt with the sleeves rolled up and buttoned up at the elbows with a white undershirt. She had also started to wear a Stenson to remember Applejack the past seven years. She had a good figure to her body, and certainly was able to attract the opposite sex with her figure. Her cup size was in the middle between Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle.

"I'm the only one of this group who has a flying-type big enough to carry at least two of us, tops. You all should have thought better on your Pokémon teams," the fuschia-haired teen stated, making reference to her fully-evolved Dragonite.

David rolls his eyes. "I'm quite happy with my team, thank you very much."

Now the only male of the three females was a full human. He was not an equine of any kind. He had black eyes, chocolate brown hair in a semi-messy ahoge-style that was mid-length to the neckline, and he had light freckles dotting his fair-skinned face. He wore a black jersey tank over a blue t-shirt, with a two-tone blue double-pocket vest, a pair of gray sneakers and ankle-high black socks, black cargo shorts, and a robe necklace with an attached crystal Pokéball. No, it was just made out of crystal and does not contain any Pokémon inside it. He carried an adult-sized hiker's backpack that contained their camping tent and other necessities. Other things too large to fit inside were stored inside Trixie Capsules. Much like Scootaloo, he too was athletic and had good muscle on his body; muscle the girls loved whenever he goes shirtless.

"Same here," Sweetie Belle agreed with David.

"Ditto," said Applebloom.

Scootaloo knew she was defeated, and drops the subject.

Oh, yes, did I forget to mention WHY David was in a group of girls only?

"So, David, I bet you can't wait to see the city we're from," said Applebloom, scooting up next to the male.

Sweetie Belle followed suit, moving on his opposite side and held onto his arm. "Yeah," she exclaims, "You'll love the city, David!"

And finally, Scootaloo used her wings to keep her aloft as she glomps the teen from behind.

"And we can show you around New Ponyville, before we find the house that was built for me and the four of us can have fun together."

The three girls giggled.

Does that answer any of your questions, folks?

=0=0=0=0=

New Ponyville City...

What a wonderful bustling community it was.

It was the primary place for the humans of the Pokémon World to come to learn about the art of magic. Yes, the Pokémon World does indeed have magic, but there were only few practitioners of the craft. Since the founding of New Ponyville, it started to become a hotspot for mages and young witches in-training to come and learn about the arcane force.

The unicorns of New Ponyville that knew much of the subject of magic taught its classes at the city's Starswirl Academy. It was founded by a unicorn named Sunset Shimmer, named after an old unicorn wizard named Starswirl the Bearded. She was a unicorn who lived most of her young adult life in the Pokémon World after leaving Equestria after an argument with her once teacher Princess Celestia. When Sunset Shimmer learned of a group of equine-like humans appearing ten years ago, she investigated. When she learned it was not a lie, she dissolved the magic that made her look human.

Because the weather did not need to be controlled in this world, the pegasi found themselves without their normal jobs. But they quickly found new jobs such as mail carriers across the Kalos Region, sky patrolling for the Pokémon Rangers, as well as rescuers for people stranded at sea. Normal earth ponies quickly adapted to the world, having found new professions to pursue, or continue enjoying their old jobs.

Such as one location we're coming to now. The Sugarcube Corner, a large bakery that is owned by the Cake Family, which also doubles as their home residence in New Ponyville. The old looks of Sugarcube Corner were used to make the location unique but also fun and exciting.

Today, it was busy like any other day. New Ponyville has a visitor by the name of Professor Sycamore in preparation for two new budding trainers, both were brother and sister.

"Pound! Hurry up already!"

"I can't hurry up when I'm using the bathroom, Pumpkin!"

"Just hurry up, for Arceus' sake!"

Pinkie and the parents of Pound and Pumpkin Cake sigh, hearing the sibling argument from upstairs. But they push on, fulfilling out orders for the customers whom desired a sweet treat during the lunch rush hour. The Cakes and Pinkie were wearing their baking aprons and hair nets. For outfits, Mr. Cake had on a pair of gray pants and a white t-shirt, Mrs. Cake wore a comfortable baby blue and white dress, and Pinkie Pie wore a pair of blue jeans, and canary yellow spaghetti tee with bordered blue that revealed her slim stomach. On the front of the shirt was the image of her cutie mark. All three wore comfortable sneakers.

"They'll be fine once they get their first Pokémon," said Mrs. Cake.

"Yup. They may be twelve, but they can take care of themselves. Our daughter has magic training, and our son has his flying skills," said Mr. Cake.

"Blissey!" the aforementioned Pokémon stated, walking out with a large metal sheet filled with freshly baked loaves of bread. Yes, she's wearing oven mitts so she doesn't burn herself.

The oven dings. "I'll check on that," said Pinkie, finishing the last glazing of some of the supersize donuts to check on the cupcakes baking in one of the many ovens. Ever since all the transformed ponies got hands, they were able to accomplish a lot more things than before.

It explains why Lyra Heartstrings was so fascinated by them for many years...

At the front of the bakery, there was a Lucario that was tending to the cash register, taking down orders, taking payments and giving back the correct change. This Lucario was Pinkie Pie's Pokémon, evolved from a Rilou.

Ten minutes later, and Pound and Pumpkin were sitting at one of the indoor tables, eating lunch prepared by their auntie Pinkie Pie. The lunch crowds had thinned a bit, but it was still busy, what with shop orders being fulfilled and ready for delivery shipping. Pound and Pumpkin Cake had grown in the past ten years. No longer were they toddlers. Now they were young children.

Pound Cake's hair had grown out into a windswept messy fashion. His wings had grown bigger and he was a strong flier. And for Pumpkin, her hair started to resemble her mother's, but she wore a pink bow in her hair. Her connection to magic was also strong.

Pound wore black pants, a light brown and gray-sleeved jacket, a white t-shirt under the unzipped jacket, blue sneakers, with a red and black cap on top of his head with the Pokéball symbol etched on the front. Worn around his neck is a neckerchief colored green. Pumpkin wore a ruffled light red skirt with a girl's tee colored light blue, knee-high socks and blue sneakers, and a red vest that was half-zipped up to her upper chest. She wears a silver necklace with an attached crystal Pokéball ornament.

Both of them have yet to earn their cutie marks, but where children of Ponyville in their young age would be all about getting their cutie marks early or as soon as possible, the next generation that were now living in the Pokémon World did not care about it. Cutie Marks in this generation were not a statement of fashion or popularity.

The bells jingle, indicating new customers.

When Pinkie Pie looked up, she smiled.

It was the Cutie Mark Crusaders. Even long after the girls got their cutie marks, they still went by that group name, making it a well-known name amongst Pokémon Trainers. Yes, I said they got their cutie marks. Scootaloo's cutie mark represented her thrill of action (a wing-shaped white cloud with a trailing fireball surrounding it), Applebloom's represented her creation and ability of repairs (a red apple with an hammer crossing over it at a ninety degree), and Sweetie Belle's reflected her beloved talent for music (a heart-shaped microphone attached to a musical note).

"Applebloom, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle! Welcome back home!" she greets them, before noticing their fourth companion. A boy.

She immediately zips up to David. "Hi! What's your name? You new in New Ponyville?"

"Pinkie Pie, this is David. Remember? We told you about him in our many letters," Applebloom told the pink humanoid mare.

"Oh! You're David? Nice to meet you!" she says with a happy grin.

"Wow... she really is hyperactive," David said, smiling and shaking her extended hand.

The girls all giggle and two young kids at the nearby table shared knowing smiles.

"Hold on a moment." And with her penchant for breaking the laws of physics, Pinkie Pie disappeared, only to return with a slice of cake and single vanilla ice cream scoop on the side. The icing writing on the chocolate-frosted yellow cake read Welcome to New Ponyville. "On the house, to welcome you to our city, David!"

"Thank you, Pinkie Pie," he says, accepting the generous gift.

"So, you two are ready to become Pokémon Trainers, huh?" asks Scootaloo, sitting down at Pound and Pumpkin's tables.

"Yeah! We're so excited to get our first Pokémon from Professor Sycamore," said Pumpkin.

"I know what I want," said Pound, eager to start traveling and become a famous Pokémon Trainer.

The fifteen year old pegasus chuckles. "Just remember that the bond between trainer and Pokémon is very important. Always treat all of your Pokémon you meet and capture with the respect and love they deserve. Never become a bad trainer."

"We know, Scootaloo," the twins said.

They have heard stories of Pokémon Trainers who disrespected their Pokémon through a varying of reasons, half of them owning to believing the Pokémon that person held was weak or a worthless breed. These types of trainers Pound and Pumpkin disliked and swore to one another they would never fall down that type of road.

"Hey Scootaloo, who's the boy you're traveling with?" asks Pumpkin.

Here, Scootaloo blushed, as did Applebloom and Sweetie Belle when the two heard this question.

"He's a close friend of ours," she said.

Pinkie Pie heard this and knew something was deeper than that, but elected not to speak up on it. Pound and Pumpkin are still innocent, although soon puberty would start to kick them in the flank.

"Pound, Pumpkin, once you two are finished with lunch, we'll go shopping for supplies to get you started on your Pokémon Journey," Pinkie Pie tells the twins, and they nod and continue eating lunch.

"We got a few extras supplies we can part, Pinkie," Applebloom tells the party girl.

"That's good. A standard Potions Kit and Pokéball set is always expensive, even for starters."

"So, when's the ceremony?"

"In an hour, at New Ponyville Hall," answers Pinkie Pie. "Trixie's going to be there as well."

Yes, Trixie Lulamoon, and the unicorn who managed to create the ability to combine magic and technology together to create the world's next innovation of storage capsules. It was similar to how Pokéballs would store Pokémon. But the limitation was only to Pokémon when the capture devices were first devised. While there were many different ways of storing away other things away over the years that human technology evolved, the closest to storing away human technology was expensive. Trixie created the Trixie Capsules to compliment Pokéballs. The Trixie Capsule resembled a pill-shape no bigger than a small USB drive. The old days of trainers traveling around lugging heavy equipment and things in an overstuffed bag were over. Pokémon Trainers whom were retired and were in their old ages wished something like this existed during their young days...

Trixie was also one of the many in Ponyville who got caught along the anomaly that ripped half the town from Equestria and into the Pokémon World. Originally, she was in town to visit Twilight Sparkle, to make amends and hope to become her friend when fate dealt its hand against Ponyville ten years ago. She was stronger magically since her last defeat and a lesson of humility bestowed upon her, in which it had helped her see the error of her ways. No longer was she about using magic to entertain and wow the audience, she now used her magic to benefit those who need help.

Who knew she would go from show mare to business woman?

"Cool. Say Pinkie, I know that the city built me a new house but do you know the address?"

"Yeah. I've kept the keys to your house Scootaloo." Pinkie got up and hurried to the back, and soon returned with a set of keys on a silver key ring. The attached ornament to the ring resembled the Key Pokémon, Klefki. No, it's not a real living Pokémon. "It's not far from here, too. We had it built close-by so you can always come to us if you ever needed anything."

Scootaloo took the keys, smiling. "Thanks Pinkie! C'mon girls! David! Let's check out my new residence!"

"Yeah!" the other two girls exclaimed.

David smiled, getting dragged along, leaving behind an empty paper plate devoid of its slice of cake and scoop of ice cream.

Pinkie Pie took out her phone and typed up a quick text before sending it to Scootaloo's number. Half a block from Sugarcube Corner, Scootaloo takes out her phone when it started to ring of a text message being received. She blushed when the question she was sent by Pinkie Pie was seen: ARE YOU AND THE GIRLS IN A FOUR-WAY RELATIONSHIP WITH DAVID? IF YES, BETTER USE PROTECTION.

=0=0=0=0=

In Equestria, in another worldly dimension, the vanishing of half of Ponyville came as a shock to everypony. Separated friends and family were upset over this fact. The Princesses were hard at work in figuring out what kind of magic could do such a thing. Thankfully, Twilight's new crystal library was not caught in the anomaly that tore away part of the town and Sweet Apple Acres. However, Twilight and friends were affected like everypony else because Pinkie Pie was helping fulfill the bakery orders at Sugarcube Corner when the popular sweets shop was part of the Ponyville that vanished.

But, finally, after two months of searching, Twilight Sparkle had finally discovered a spell that could help them in figuring out what happened to the disappeared citizens of Ponyville...

And the Princess of Friendship was ready to cast this spell...

This idea would not leave my mind, so I decided to write it down so the plot bunny would stop biting my toes about it. Yes, the Cutie Mark Crusaders are in a threesome relationship with a boy. So what? They are teenagers in this story. The Pokemon half of the story takes place in the Kalos Region. I have yet to play Pokemon X and Y, but I hope to soon when I can afford the game. But which one should I get? X or Y? And yes, this takes place after Season 4 of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

The Many Little Stories of Equestria

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the official characters from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Lauren Faust is the person who created this generation of ponies. The Familiar of Zero (ゼロの使い魔 Zero no Tsukaima) and all of its known official characters, concepts, locations, etcetera are owned by Noboru Yamaguchi. The series Metroid, and all known characters, concepts, locations, etcetera is owned by Nintendo. Any original characters belong to me unless stated otherwise.

Author's Note: This particular triple crossover takes place within my sub-universe series The Familiar of Zero Mission of the Metroid fandom that follows the adventures of Saito Hiraga, Sekai Jiraiya, and Lumine Starr. While crossing over with My Little Pony, that portion is part of The Conversion Bureau sub-universe created by the first author "Blaze".

This off-shoot of the entire chapter in general however has no actual impact to the universe of The Familiar of Zero Mission. This was written up simply because of TCB stories I have read lately and the ideas involving this universe of the MLP fandom will not leave me the hell alone. I doubt it'll make much sense, and mainly I wrote this out just so it would get out of my head and make room for better plots.

EDIT: I was aware of an error that somehow duplicated this chapter twice in one page. I fixed that.

So Much for the Conversion Bureau

So for life on Earth, it was typical for the humans that lived on this wonderful planet: starships flying in and out of the atmosphere, space traffic causing delays in shipments from interplanetary deliveries, and the occasional alien refugee coming to Earth to make a new living on the planet that gave birth to the government known today as the Galactic Federation, or for humans to wake up next to aliens whom have held a few generations living on Earth since their ancestors coming to their planet many years ago.

While humanity has evolved and their technology has allowed them to meet other alien races, and form a new government with them, and to colonize other planets and moons in faraway locations from Earth, there were still the struggles that humanity (and aliens alike) deal with. One of these main threats was the race of warmongering creatures that are collectively known as the Space Pirates. But as the beginning terms of the Phazon War start to develop, something unexpected was going to happen that would throw the universe into a loop.

Today started like no other for the government officials of the Galactic Federation, for the civilians that go about their daily lives, and the occasional randomness. There was a man who was docking at one of the parking bays of the Galactic Federation. He was a colonel in the GF's military army. His name was Fugaku Hiraga. He was one of many higher-ups in the Galactic Federation Army and Marines called to headquarters to discuss the looming threat of the blue poison called Phazon.

Fugaku sighs as he shows his ID and goes through the standard procedures of scanning for foreign substances on his person.

"With all this bullshit of Phazon threatening the universe, it's keeping me away from my family more and more," Fugaku said to one of the techs working the scanning device.

"Yeah? I haven't seen my family in months, Colonel Fugaku. With this threat of Phazon discovered by Samus Aran, and the accursed Pirates utilizing that deadly mutagen, things are going to get a lot worse in the following months, or even years."

"Scan Complete. You're clear, Colonel Fugaku."

"The sooner this convention ends, the sooner I can get to work doing my share of space patrolling."

Fugaku left the scanning chamber, allowing the next alien to step into the chamber for a scan. Fugaku dug into his pockets and pulls out his wallet, and upon opening it sees the family photo that he always carries with him; depicting him with hiss lovely wife and their two sons.

"Hopefully we solve this Phazon crisis happening, and the universe can return to some sense of normalcy," Fugaku hears one of the scientists state to one of his colleges, as he walks down the hallway.

Damn, I miss my family...

On a planet far away in another area of the universe, we have a large blue planet called Big Blue. At Mute City, there were F-Zero Races happening right now and also displayed live on television. On a gunship flying towards Earth after making its very long travel through subspace, the F-Zero Races were being broadcast on the cockpit's main monitor. The occupants of the gunship were rooting for Captain Falcon to take the checkered flag in 1st Place.

"Captain's gonna win this!" exclaims Saito Hiraga, the main owner of the gunship nicknamed Dragon Buster. He was a pure human from a rich history descending back to Earth's feudal Japan. He was of Japanese descent, but born on Planet Big Blue.

"No doubt," said a female, her cat ears twitching and tail swaying happily as she was spooned in the arms of another male with long pointed elf ears.

The catgirl with the hints of bleach blonde fur along the backs of the hands, feet, and the small of the back was Lumine Starr. She was a feline-based species of humanoid alien from Planet Thuban 9 of the Elistar system. Her race was typically called Cait Syth. The male with the elf ears was a Jiraiyan, often confused with another elf-based humanoid race. This was Sekai Jiraiya, from planet Jiraiya in the Xia system. And his bloodline was that of royalty; he is also the last of his race.

The fourth companion of the gunship was a beautiful young woman. She looked almost human in physical appearance, but she had insectoid-like traits to her form. Blue-green chitinous-like plating covers along her slim stomach and frontal sides of her midsection, and appear to accentuate the large bust that is her breasts. A black carapace-like attachment frames along her forehead and ends with sharpened tips behind the ears, with a growth of a long twisted unicorn's horn, and from the upper base of the horn was a crown-like growth tipped with blue orbs. Her face was archaically shaped, a trait of beauty to her race with waist-length teal hair in curly smooth tresses. In addition, she has a sharp pair of fangs when she smiles, large sharply-tipped ears with small silver ear studs and green crystal earrings, and dark green eyes with elongated oval pupils. The tipping ends of her eyelashes were also tipped with tiny blue orbs, highlighting her eyes with a trace of teal green eye shadow. Large insectoid wings are folded along her back. She was dark-skinned, an exotic chocolate brown.

"I hope that my daughter is capable of keeping watch over our kingdom while I am away," she said, playing with the luminous blue orbs that make up the bracelets around her wrists.

"Princess Anis will be fine, Chrysalis. We volunteered to bring you to the Galactic Federation so you can finally join the galactic communities. Sombra can no longer hurt you and your people," Saito tells Chrysalis.

Her wings and the blue orbs that tip her crown glow a soft blue aura. The green of her earrings also gave off a soft aura glow. She is clad in a beautiful gown-like black/green shimmery dress with attachments of silver and gold Valkyrie-like armor plating along the legs, waist, upper chest, with a plume of silver white feather wings forming a side skirt attachment on the left waist. For footwear were plated high heels. From a specially-cut hole in the back of the outfit, her long teal horse-like tail with equipped gold tail ring is allowed its non-constricted freedom. Their exotic alien traveler was, as Saito indentified, Queen Chrysalis, of planet Chrysa. Her race were known as Changelings; humanoid alien life forms that can shape shift into mimics of who they see. They were similar in shape shipping/transformative powers as another bounty hunter who went by the name Gandrayda; however they can only mimic living organisms, not those of robotics.

As for the being mentioned as Sombra, the King Sombra was a self-appointed king after fifteen years of keeping Chrysalis's people imprisoned by his dark sorcery. It was when she took over the role as leader after the death of her parents she managed to get a magical beacon deployed. That beacon attracted the crew of the Dragon Buster. In short, the Dark Crystal Empire that Sombra erected over the main capital of Chrysa was destroyed after a final battle that determined the fate of the planet's survival by his dark magicks. Saito, Sekai, and Lumine were the planet's saviors.

This event occurred one year ago.

"Saito."

"Hm? Yes, Chrysalis?"

"I couldn't help but notice that over the year since our liberation from Sombra's magic, my daughter Anis has developed emotions for you," she casually tells the dark-haired teen.

Saito blushed, eliciting a grin to emerge on Chrysalis' lips.

"And he's done it again! Captain Falcon takes the checkered flag and the Gold Trophy in this year's F-Zero Grand Prix!" one of the F-Zero announcers shouts.

Celebrations all around on board the Dragon Buster, as on the TV, minutes later as the race ends fully, Captain Falcon waves to all of his fans. Half an hour later the gunship reaches Earth when the ship's computers picked up strange energy fluxes and pinpointed it to the Hawaiian Islands. Sekai, being sensitive to some types of magic, took control of the ship, disengaged autopilot, and flew towards the planet.

No one in the universe knew this was a sign of trouble brewing... especially since an out of the blue event allowed this to happen...

=0=0=0=

A horseshoe-shaped portal emerged on the natural Hawaiian Islands that remained in this day and age not transformed into heavy industry platforms. Emerging from the vivid portal of light was a tall pony with wings and a horn, followed by other ponies. Four of these ponies wore identical armoring; two have wings and two had horns, and they were armed with sharpened metal spears. Behind them were six ponies: two unicorns, two pegasi, and two Earth ponies. These six ponies were wearing what some would call tacky jewelry.

The air was crisp and clean, with the hint of the sea and tropical winds. Lovely scents can be caught in the wind coming from pineapple trees, and coconut trees. The sky was a beautiful orange hue, with greenery as far as the eye can see. They had appeared on a beach because the lapping soft crash of waves washes ashore the beautiful crystal white sands. Over the hills, the sun is seen in its sunset.

Yes, I can go on and on how beautiful this scenery looked like to these equines that appeared from a magic portal...

"This land looks so beautiful," said Fluttershy, inhaling the clean air.

"Don't get comfortable, my little ponies. We have yet to encounter any humans," said Princess Celestia.

They have been studying this world for years after Daring Do's grandfather had uncovered a strange mirror that looked into other worlds that were violent. This mirror was unlike the magic mirror sealed at the Crystal Empire. After years of research, Celestia finally decided that they would extend their hooves to the humans of this world beyond the portal friendship, and to solve their crisis of bloodshed and wars. And also, she would hope to show the humans the life of being a pony being more peaceful than being human...

Boy they were in for a huge surprise...

Suddenly a thrum of dark magic washed over the island, freezing the ponies.

"Magic that pierces the boundaries... Ahahahahaha! This portal will grant me my return!" a dark voice roars out. One that was VERY familiar to Princess Celestia.

Celestia gasped. "King Sombra!?"

The mares who hold the Elements of Harmony gasp.

The portal they came through soon disrupted when another swallowed it, the mixing of the light energies fused with dark energies forming a deadly harmony. Suddenly a black cloud of smoke emerges, storming the very air with a loud scream. These magicks exploded from the portal now compromised of twilight magic, and shoot away, hitting the ground after streaming through the air. Soon familiar eyes with smoky purple wisps emerge, followed by an evil smile.

"I have made my return!" Sombra's voice echoes, as the large cloud of smoke strikes the ground, generating a vicious burst of wind. The spiraling smoke began to vanish slowly. Celestia was ready to unleash her light magic, then the smoke-engulfed form was finally revealed... in his glorious non-pony form?

What in the name of Starswirl...?

He stood at a tall height of seven feet equal, with a dark skin tone. His eyes were a vivid red color with poison green sclera, and smoky wisps of purple radiating from the edges of his eyes. A four-horned gun silver helmet wraps around the top and sides of his head, with an additional two horns cresting the sides of his face. He had a goatee and wicked-trimmed sideburns. From the forehead was a blood red crystal horn that gave off a sinister glow. His long hair flowing behind him was smoke black, and flowed and swirled like it was made of smoke itself. His entire body from the neck down was encased in silver gray heavy armor with traces of black and red around the neck, chest plates, crotch, and arms/legs. Black gloves protect his hands with red-spiked knuckle guards. Draped across the large shoulders was a royal red robe with framed metal collar connecting to the armor. It made him one very imposing dark king.

He lifts his right hand, as a black crackle of electricity runs across the fingertips. He clenches it tightly before looking around, examining his location.

"Hmm, this is not the Dark Crystal Empire..."

His eyes trail over to... ponies? Ponies were standing there, frightened at his appearance, except for the armored ponies holding crude metal spears in front of a tall winged/horned pony that was giving him such a dark look. This was intriguing... they clearly radiated forms of light magic from their souls, and were the source of light magic that allowed him to form his twilight.

"This is not Planet Chrysa. You... what are you and what planet is this?" Sombra demands of the ponies.

Before any sort of answer could be given, a loud boom is heard, catching everyone's attention. A large flying metal ship (to the ponies) flew over and three shadows had emerged from it, freefalling. One of them swings what looks like a wooden staff and green shimmering energy swirls around the three shadows. The spell by Sekai cushioned their freefall as they hit the ground in front of the ponies.

"King Sombra!"

Sombra laughs evilly. "Well, well, well... the heroes of Planet Chrysa. I guess my re-emergence into life has not eluded your detection skills, Sekai."

"We detected strange energy signatures coming from here, and then we felt a sudden burst of dark magic."

Saito draws forth his sword Derflinger. "How the fuck are you still alive? We killed you in the Crystal Throne!"

Sombra grins. "I am a being of immense dark magicks from the galaxy. I never believed I would die, but I was always prepared for my inevitable return. I was but a mere shadow in the world of darkness when I felt magicks that broke the boundaries. So, I simply used the energies of that portal and here I am..."

He points to behind the three hunters.

"The portal's creation is due to those creatures that stand behind you. The magick that flows from them is that of light itself..."

The girl with the cat ears and tail glances behind her. She did not look human to the ponies.

"Sekai... Sombra's right. They are radiating a form of light magic off their beings."

"Twilight magic... the fusion of darkness from Sombra, and those creatures' light magic formed twilight," said Sekai, looking towards the fused white and black/purple portal.

"Correct. And that is how I regained my body; twilight magic... one of the most dangerous forms of spirit artes to your race, Sekai. But unfortunately, our reunion must be cut short. I'm going to ensure that the heroes who defeated me die right here and now!"

A surging aura explodes from Sombra, generating buffeting winds.

"Sombra... I can't believe you have returned from the dead," another voice spoke up. This voice was also familiar to the ponies.

A humanoid creature that looked like the queen of the changelings walked up, cutting through the group of ponies that moved away in fear of her. Off in the distance was the Dragon Buster, away from the battle field but not shut off as the engines were on stand-by mode.

"Queen Chrysalis! Stand back!" Saito yells at the queen.

That name surprised the ponies.

"Chrysalis! You are here too, I see? Good. I have a trophy to bring with me when I show your corpse to your daughter Anis!"

Sekai's staff shines and he unleashes a bolt of white lightning. Sombra formed a black crystal shield that blocks the attack. This started the fight as Saito rushed towards Sombra in a fast sprint, slashing at Sombra who ducks and blocks with his crystal shield. Lumine's form shines before the light dissolves leaving her in her pink and white feline-like combat armor. The other ponies backed away as Sekai's magic flared with a green tint of nature.

"Yuopuutin'di Ieku Pudiushimu!" (1)

The ground cracks as Saito expertly sways through and between the long tendrils of wood that were flying towards Sombra's leaping form. The tall sinister sorcerer roars, throwing purple fireballs to burn the tentacles of wood.

"Sombra!"

Saito had grabbed one of the tentacles of wood and earth and used it as a rising platform. Then with a boost of his own energy he springs upward farther, the sword shining with a brief glimmer.

"Perun Ruugatimuumugu!" (2)

The same lightning attack from before strikes at the sword, and the sword's special properties absorbs the energy, just as Saito shouts as he chops down. Sombra growls in pain before dissolving into black smoke to evade the weapons fire coming from Lumine's buster arm. For Saito, he lands on an outstretched wood tentacle and slides down its smooth wooden bark, tucking into a roll as he hits the sand, before he springs to his feet, barely dodging more fireballs from a re-solidifying King Sombra. His eyes crackle with energy as he then switches from purple fireballs to black crystal chunks, targeting Queen Chrysalis.

"Not bad, but it appears you've gotten rusty!" Sombra taunts, as Sekai channeled more magic to form natural shields to block the corruptive black magic crystals.

"Chrysie, it's not safe for you to be out here," Sekai told the queen.

"Sombra has returned, and this time I will not look upon him with fear, Prince Sekai," Chrysalis told the elven prince.

"But is your magic strong enough to combat his dark magic, Chrysie?"

"I have some surprises up my short sleeves, Sekai," she said, as her green magic aura takes hold around her horn, and envelop her hands.

Sombra is cut-off from his attack by Saito and Lumine double teaming the evil sorcerer, mixing their weapons attacks into their close-quarters combat tactics. But Sombra was easily able to keep up with their blur of attacks.

"Princess Celestia! What's going on?" Twilight asks her mentor, unsure of what was going on or how that two of them looked so much like King Sombra and Queen Chrysalis, but not a pony or changeling.

Celestia was unsure herself. One of them was clearly human; however the other two humans weren't human. And she was feeling the feel of magic in the air, surging wildly in this battle that erupted. Humans didn't possess magic according to their studies into this world. One had cat ears and a cat's tail, while the other had long pointed ears, a crystal growth on his forehead, and radiating a large concentration of elemental magic. The only human of this weird group carried a sword that can absorb magic and be used to empower sword attacks. And then the creature that looked like the changeling queen that attacked Canterlot, but standing and looking almost human.

Something was very wrong here right now...

"My little ponies, prepare to harness the Elements-"

Celestia is cut off by a building power of magic flowing from the humanoid Chrysalis.

"Come forth! Answer my plea, Warrior of the Moon! Banish the darkness from the world of light!" The aura surged vividly and began to grow above, taking a solid shape. "Nightmare Moon!"

Pony jaws dropped at the shout of the name. The aura that took shape solidifies with a flash of light before a vivid light purple and blue aura surrounds a humanoid female warrior clad in the armor of the Nightmare Moon familiar to Celestia and the Harmony Bearers. The armor was a nightly blue color and the bodysuit was a rich royal purple. The face of the humanoid female was half human and half pony. The armor resembled that of Nightmare Moon with additional content, with black cloth capes that drape over the sides of the tall crescent-shaped pauldrons that protect the shoulders, and underarmor of the torso.

A white moon crystal pendant is set in the center of the torso armor just above the summoned deity's bust. A metal skirt decorates the waist, and has long high heel plated boots. White gloves cover the hands tipped with crystal black claws. The helmet that protects the head of the deity matched the shape of Nightmare Moon's pony helmet for our pony viewers. From the back of the helmet, a shimmering magic curtain forms the deity's hair, along with a similar glowing sparkly tail from the backside.

Nightmare Moon's aura shined as she stands her ground, summoning a large glowing metal glaive. In a burst of light, four shimmering black pony wings not connected to the back take form and seem to float along her sides in a spread manner. Crescent floating metal crafts also float above the wings, with a curved moon crescent hovering above her helmeted head with a glowing oval light blue crystal within its center.

Nightmare Moon was Planet Chrysa's Patron Deity that protected the planet from an ancient evil from ages past, lived among Chrysalis's ancestors, and died giving her divine protection. Celestia and her entourage didn't know this, though. The name drops were just confusing the hell outta them! Hey, despite the name, this Nightmare Moon was one of the good guys...

"So, you summon the Patron Deity of the Moon's spirit. Like that will help you!"

Sombra sweeps his leg releasing a burst of magical energy forcing Saito and Lumine to jump back to avoid the attack, just as Nightmare Moon charges forward in a burst of magic, the large moon glaive pointed forward. Sombra blocks the attack with his own crystal blade, chopping forward but missing the deity. With a roar, Sombra slams the weapon at the ground, and black crystals shoot forward in all directions. Saito throws wind magic under his and Chrysalis's feet and they fly up into the air. Saito and Lumine run to avoid the black crystals. Nightmare Moon teleported in the sky before racing downward with a lunge, glaive pointed towards Sombra's form.

Sombra was pierced, but turned into a plume of smoke, cheaply dodging the kill.

"Damn his smoke dodge! Such a cheap tactic..."

He reappears, gathering energy into his hands.

"Hmph!"

Sombra with the energy gathered generates a large lance made of black crystal that shimmers with a red pearlescent tint. The blade's end was like a grab's claw; sharp and deadly with serrated prongs.

"Throughout celestia and terra this is my glory!" He swung his weapon, lashing out with three separate waves of black magic that struck down the three hunters. He then leapt high into the air as energy consulates around the entire weapon, before shooting towards the blade's tips. "Demon's Lance!"

The weapon is launched downward and upon striking the ground, an immense powerful explosion of dark magic sends everybody crashing into the distance.

Princess Celestia cries out in pain, as even when she generated her most powerful light-attuned magic shield, the strange technique was sending a backlash of pain to her body. The shield shattered when Saito bodily smashed through it, crashing and toppling over the princess. The other ponies were getting up, brushing off sand from their bodies from the sudden and powerful explosion of dark magic that sent them all flying away. It was terrifying to the six girls with the Elements of Harmony seeing this humanized King Sombra with such destructive power. The guards were already trying to find their weapons to assist in the protection of their sun princess.

"Pitiful!" Sombra yells, lunging forward ready to impale Saito and the pony he crashed into.

Chrysalis swishes her hand at Sombra and Nightmare Moon got in the path, blocking with her Moon Shield. She then pushes Sombra away and forces him back, bringing the fight to the dark king.

"Sekai! Healing spells, quick!" Saito shouted.

In a burst of magic Sekai had sprinted towards Saito and the downed pony. Muttering under his breath in Long Dau, runes splashed around in a wide radius, and a heavenly glow lights those within the circle. Cursed damage was healed away. As the healing continued Nightmare Moon and Sombra continued their duel of weapons clashing again and again.

From the ground, Lumine withstood the pain she was feeling in favor of landing some potshots with her buster gun.

Celestia moaned, opening her eyes as she felt her strength return and the aches and pains fading away. The healing runes vanish and Sekai stood up. Nightmare Moon landed a hit that sent Sombra flying right towards the dirt. This was good enough distance.

"Diiwaku Tidiumun!" (3)

Jamming the Chozo Staff's bottom end into the ground, a shockwave of yellow energy races along the ground before stopping just under Sombra where the ground explodes with rocky spires to smash into his back.

"Hey Saito! Grab me already so I won't rust or get crystallized," cried Saito's trusted blade, Derflinger.

Saito sprinted towards Derf and grabs him, just as an angry Sombra casts some dark fire at the black-haired bounty hunter. He brings the blade up and cleaves the fire in half, Derflinger glowing softly as his innate talent draws the magical energy from the fire. Then, reversing his hold on the talking sword, slices down sending a lighter-colored fireball right back at Sombra who blocks with a shield of crystal.

He's left open from behind as a powerful bazooka explosion strikes him in the back. Staggered by this glaring opening in his defenses, Nightmare Moon charged forward and struck with a hard kick towards his head, another axe kick into his midsection, then unleashes several blazing swings of the glaive, ending this combo with a blast of explosion magic sending Sombra flying back.

The three hunters reunited, taking a defensive form in front of Queen Chrysalis, and the ponies whom gathered around the taller winged horned pony.

"Blasted fools... you won't get another chance like that again," Sombra warned, spitting a bit of blood from his mouth to the dirt.

"Too late, prick!" Sekai retaliated.

Sekai lashed out with all of his power through the Chozo Staff he wields in the form of purplish blue lightning strikes that channeled through conjured magic chains. Sombra was wrapped in the chains, and the thunder attack struck at his body before the chains finally exploded from being overloaded with magical energy. This was Sekai's empowered Ruugatimuumugu Mine (4) technique. Sombra was lying on his back at the end of this electrifying explosive attack...

They all tensed up when Sombra turned to smoke, only to resolidify, back on his two feet. He's mad now.

"You still have that drive for battle. But just drive alone will not stop me this time around!" King Sombra's eyes glowed much brighter, those trails turning much thicker as his aura started to grow. Sekai swore. Sombra was planning to unleash a larger wave of crystals hoping to glass them all. Even if they continue this fight, Sombra's increase power was a notice for the fighters.

"We gotta escape now! This fight's a lost cause!"

"NO! YOU ARE GOING TO BE GLASSED FOR MY COLLECTION! YOU WILL DIE HERE AND NOW!" Sombra's roars were piercing the howling winds of his building power.

Saito remote-calls the Dragon Buster and the ship immediately took flight and flew towards them, the back hanger door opening up. Sekai threw out his magic and grabs the colorful ponies and forced them into the gunship's back, Saito and Lumine racing inside to get to the cockpit. Chrysalis just jumped on-board, and was grabbed by Sekai as the ship lurches off the ground and speeds away in a hurry. Just in time, too. A brilliant explosion of magic flares outward, and from it, a shockwave of black crystals started to take form from thin-air, corrupting and "glassing" the islands.

Sharp jagged shards of black crystal were piercing towards the heavens, some shoots blooming towards them in an attempt to strike them out of the sky. But Nightmare Moon's aura bathes the gunship and the crystals shatter upon touching her aura. The Dragon Buster flies clear from the air space around the islands as an aura of red takes shape into a round barrier, releasing a surge of fading dark magic that no doubt would have been detected by the Galactic Federation. The islands were now cut off from everyone.

Somewhere on the mass of crystallized sand, Sombra's power faded and he casts a dark look on the retreating starship belonging to the heroes that ended his life one year ago. But, he was back again. He decides to head further into the glassed island and begin his reconstruction of his crystal empire, and reform his dark crystal army. Whatever this planet was, he'll make it his base of operations...

=0=0=0=

The hanger doors seal shut with a metallic slam, and Sekai sighs.

"Chrysalis, are you alright?"

"I am fine, Sekai."

They look to the moon deity, and said deity bows regally before vanishing, her spirit returning to the spirit realm.

"No doubt the Galactic Federation detected those massive energy spikes. Chrysalis, I'm sorry this turned into a complete clusterfuck of a bad situation."

"It is not your fault. None of us knew just how treacherous King Sombra's powers truly were."

From the ship's cameras, and the picture feed displayed on one of the monitors in the hanger, Chrysalis and Sekai could see the black crystals "eating" the islands up and turning the landmass into crystallized land.

"Other than getting you an audience with the Galactic Federation's Council and the Chairman, we'll have to inform them of this latest threat to all of life in the galaxy."

"If only Sombra would just stay dead..."

"We'll handle this threat when the time comes, Chrysie," Sekai placated the queen. Heading to the command deck, he turned the mic on. "Lumine, I'm sure summoning the Moon Patron tired Chrysalis out. Get her some food and drink."

"Sure Sekai."

"Saito-kun, how long until we reach headquarters?" Sekai then questions Saito.

"Well, provided traffic's not a bitch and we keep at the fast speed I'm on now, roughly thirty minutes," was the answer.

"Good. Keep me posted."

"Roger."

Mic is turned off for now. Chrysalis was seen looking to the ponies that were looking at her with wary (and apparently untrusting) glances.

"Chrysie, Lumine's going to provide you some food and drink. You must be a bit tired from the spirit summoning."

"Sounds good. I could enjoy a good snack," she says, before looking back at the colorful ponies. Sekai also wondered how or why they were on that beach in the first place with Sombra. With his attune to magical forces, he could feel that the tallest winged and horned pony was connected to that portal of light before Sombra's magicks bled through.

Chrysalis walks past them, ignoring how the armored ones tensed up as she passed by them and through the opening and closing automatic door. That left Sekai all by himself with the alien-looking equines. Why did they have that cartoonish aura to them?

"I can tell that you are not in cahoots with King Sombra, since you never took active in our little bout with the dark sorcerer," said Sekai.

"Yes. Although, we knew of another pony that goes by the name Sombra... but he was not... that creature that stood on two legs. Who are you?" asks the regal-looking pony of the group.

"Hm... I am Prince Sekai Jiraiya. I'm a type of elf-based alien humanoid species of the universe. My kind is distinguished differently from other elves from the crystals that grow on our foreheads. I'm of a royal bloodline because of the crystal-like wing growths on my forehead sprouting from the sides of my soul crystal as a type of molded crown. My race are also heavily attuned to the spirit artes of the universe, or commonly referred to as magic."

"Are those talking ponies I see?"

The ponies turn to the voice... and spy a talking catfish... a talking colorful catfish... a talking colorful ALIEN catfish...

"Cool! Talking fish!" exclaims Pinkie Pie with her bubbly personality shining.

"Yes Klaus," Sekai answers, ignoring the exclamation from the pink one, "They're apparently talking colorful ponies. Ponies whom I question where their origins from since they appeared on that beach where King Sombra stood alive once again..."

"What? But I thought you, Saito, and Lumine killed Sombra a year ago?" the catfish named Klaus exclaims.

The ponies flinched at the word kill. Sekai paid them no heed.

"We did. But apparently there was a portal of light magic and it was mixed with his breed of dark magic forming twilight magic, and now he's alive again and stronger than ever."

The talking catfish from his specially-made fish tank with special hologram lid (allows anything to go into it but keeps the contents from getting "swished about" especially during dog fights in space) started cursing in German.

"So, you're going to inform the Federation of this development?" the fish asks, once he stopped his German tirade.

"Duh. Since Sombra's back from the dead, his dark magic can cause really harmful damage to the planet and the Federation in turn, since this is Planet Earth, home to the human race and the birthplace of the Galactic Federation."

"I can tell from Chrysalis's introduction to the Federation, Sombra's apparent rebirth, and these mystery ponies in the hanger, we're going to be dealing with a lot of bullshit in the future. And it's all going to be very troublesome."

"Hey! Don't ignore us like we're not here," one of the ponies shouted. It was the winged pony with the rainbow-colored mane and tail.

Sekai sighed. "I am sorry. It's just we're dealing with a lot of chaotic stuff right now, much more chaotic now that King Sombra has returned back from the dead."

"Yeah, bolder Space Pirate attacks and raids on defenseless planets and colonies, this whole Phazon stuff Samus Aran uncovered and alerted the Federation about, Mrs. Hiraga wanting grandchildren from her son, Princess Anis having a sexual desire for Saito."

Sekai chuckled at the last part.

"Yeah, I noticed the lust-love-induced glances Chrysalis's daughter shot towards Saito when he wasn't noticing or looking."

"I'm surprised you didn't do anything stupid like shove them into a broom closet and seal it with magic until they banged each other," said Klaus.

"I did think that but then Chrysalis would likely have smacked me around with her magic. Was tempting. Very tempting. I just think that Saito's getting a bit envious of Lumine and I having our nightly romps in the bedroom."

Klaus laughed. "Yeah, and poor Saito only has his right hand and online porn for comfort."

The fish and the alien elf openly roared with laughter, their teasing of poor single Saito Hiraga, who back in the cockpit was hearing all of this and threatened revenge under his breath much to the smirking forms of Lumine and Chrysalis who's snacking on dried pinako fruits. The laughs died down eventually; the ponies were silent however on this, not understanding of what was going on.

"Go to hell, Sekai," Saito finally said on the intercom, once the laughter died out.

The talking fish looks to Sekai. "Hand me my hamster ball, please."

Sekai levitated a modified large hamster ball, filled it with fresh water from the fish tank, before Klaus jumps out of the tank and into the ball, the lid closing on it and sealed tight. Now mobile, the fish "rolls" out of the hanger, leaving Sekai with the ponies.

"Okay. Distractions over with... I can tell that this is not just a social visit. No one in the universe has ever encountered talking ponies before. As far as humans know, unicorns and pegasus are mythological creatures to them."

Unless you count mutant alien hybrids, was the afterthought in Sekai's mind. He was recalling the monster aliens he once encountered called Horsebirds.

"I am Princess Celestia," the winged horned pony announced herself, using her royal voice as she spoke. Sekai stayed quiet. "My entourage and I are from a magical world of peace and harmony, known as Equestria. I am but one of the co-rulers of Equestria. My younger sister, Princess Luna, is back in Equestria taking rule of the kingdom while I am away on this... I guess you can call it a welcoming to the human world."

"I see. And what are the names of your group, princess?"

"My trusted guards are Steel Wing, Silver Brace, Ironhoof, and Strong Shield. The girls with our nation's trusted relics are the Bearers of the Elements of Harmony. My protégé and most trusted student, Twilight Sparkle. And these are her friends; Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Fluttershy." She pointed her hoof towards each mare indentifying them by name.

"A pleasure to meet you all. So, Princess Celestia, how did you end up here? Was it through that portal as I suspect?"

Celestia nods reluctantly. "Yes, you are correct. It was through my power and magic and the aid of a strange magical artifact from our world, that I, my closest and most-trusted guards, and my six ponies who carry our kingdom's trusted relics have come to the human world in order to give them peace and harmony. The artifact was found by a pony's ancestor a long time ago, before the founding of Equestria. And recently have we completed studies upon the artifact for more than a hundred years research, learning that it connected to a world where hairless monkeys we learned are called humans existed."

"And you have an interest in the human world?"

"Originally yes. While we were frightened at the destructive powers humans possess, they also at the same time have the ability to heal and create things. It was a fascinating study for our ponies. We hoped that we would grace humans with peace, and help end the wars, the bloodshed, and the hatred that seems to stem from the darker side of humanity."

Sekai nods slowly. "I see... Well, humans while true can be destructive, are also the most creative, capable of adapting to any kind of scenario presented to them. Humankind can adapt to anything. No matter what happens humans will find a way to survive from situations or scenarios that would lead them to a period of downfall or near-death, or something of an apocalyptic scenario. And when Earth a long time ago was visited by aliens from the stars, humans soon adapted, and became friends with the aliens especially when the first alien settlers that came to Earth brought with them the technology that humans learned to use, create, and adapt to."

The ponies were surprised to hear this.

"For awhile, after humans and aliens coexisted, peace WAS brought forth. Aliens help the humans create massive starships and humans left Earth to view their solar system, build human colonies on several moons of the Milky Way system, etcetera. In the late year of 2003, the Galactic Federation was born, and plans for humanity to expand past their solar system commenced, with human colonies built in other regions of space, and terraforming of planets. But even with the founding of our government, a race of other aliens emerged from the darkness of space and attacked. They are known today as the scourge of the universe, a collective race of aliens known simply as Space Pirates. The Space Pirates are a war-driven race of monsters that desire subjugation and destruction of all inferior races; either to be put through extinction, or enslaved."

Sekai played with his magic, as he told them this story, his magic animated various "cartoon-like" scenes.

"The first alien settlers, the Chozo, knew of the Space Pirates and helped the Federation develop weapons that would combat them. Thus war returned. Humans and aliens alike fought against the pirates ever since, until the year 2055, where some prophets among the universe like to call it fate having intervened. The galaxy's future hero was born. Her name was Samus Aran. She was orphaned as a child during a Space Pirate raid on her home colony of K-2L. Not much is known except by those that are lucky to call her a close friend, that Samus was adopted by the mysterious Chozo and taken to Zebes where she was infused with their DNA and raised to become a warrior."

Sekai dissolved his magic play.

"Samus grew up training to become the galaxy's protector. And protect us she did. She had a brief stint in the Galactic Federation Army when she was a teenager, under the command of a man named Adam Malkovich before leaving the military and setting off as a solitary bounty hunter, taking on missions that borderline suicide and completing them where others would either fail, or die trying. The battles in her adulthood were those of the impossible, of the unimaginable, and would make themselves felt in history. Three years ago, in the year 2075, Samus Aran took the fight to the Space Pirates after they raided the Federation and stole a creature that was discovered on Planet SR388, the Metroid, and brought it Planet Zebes, which had been transformed from a peaceful planet to that of an impenetrable fortress of evil. She destroyed the Space Pirate headquarters in Zebes, and destroyed the pirate's leader, Mother Brain, and was successful in ending the terror they brought... for a time."

Sekai takes his seat on the ground, cross-legged, as the ponies themselves were sitting on the metal ground trying to get as comfortable as they can. The guards remained vigilant though standing tall.

"But still, despite this major victory against the pirates, they're still a vicious force to be reckoned with. A year after that mission Samus undertook we met her on a mission of ours that crossed with hers, and earned her friendship in the end of our jointed bounty hunt of a criminal pirate named Ajax. When she left to track down a distress signal, we then discovered the existence of Phazon. Samus learned more of the source on Tallon IV. Today, the Galactic Federation was brought to light on the Phazon's existence, and the Space Pirates that were now using Phazon in their experiments to make them stronger. You see, the Space Pirates, much like humans, are adaptable to any situation. But unlike humans, the experiments they perform on themselves are that of nightmares. They will do anything to ensure they have more power that can be used to destroy the Federation, enslave or destroy the galaxy to rule, and kill Samus Aran as she has become their sworn nemesis for time and again stopping and destroying their ill-gotten works and planning's."

Crossing his arms over his chest, Sekai continues. "For humans and aliens alike, all desire peace in the galaxy, but as long as the Space Pirates continue their evil tyrannical ways, there will always be those who stand up and defend those who can't defend themselves. That's our history in an abridged nutshell. The longer version would take too long and we're likely at Galactic Federation Headquarters in a minute or two. So if you're still expecting to meet Chairman Keaton of the Galactic Federation to be human: He's not."

With that, Sekai stood up just as the intercom buzzed.

"Sekai, we're at Federation airspace. I'm hailing them now so we can get clearance to land."

"Roger that, Saito..."

He clasps his arms behind his head and lets out a sigh.

"First Phazon threats by the pirates, then King Sombra, and now ponies from another world... so troublesome today has become."

"Excuse me. Mr. Sekai?"

It was Twilight Sparkle that spoke up.

"Yes, Miss?"

"What about that other alien... Queen Chrysalis?"

"Judging by your tone, you know of another being that has a very similar name?"

They didn't answer, but the looks he received said all.

"Queen Chrysalis and the Changeling Race hail from a planet in the Lumina Region of the universe. They are humanoid magical shape shifters, although they can only take the form of flesh organisms, nothing mechanical in nature. About a year ago, I, Saito, and Lumine picked up a distress signal, magical in nature, and tracked it to Planet Chrysa. From there we learned of a dark magic-using king who calls himself Sombra. He had taken control of the Changelings' homeworld, enslaving the race and keeping Chrysalis's family hostage. Her parents were killed when they tried to fight back when she was a teenager, and only recently had gathered the power to send said distress beacon out."

The door swings open prompting the guards to tense up as Chrysalis walks into the hanger.

"Chrysalis here prayed for an answer from the stars and we blessed her with our appearance. After learning of her plight, we swore to help free her and her people from King Sombra's control, and ensure the destruction of his Dark Crystal Empire. After three months of fighting, we led a massive Resistance Force to the empire and took the fight to Sombra. I, Saito, and Lumine personally battled Sombra on the top of his castle, once in this physical plane of existence, and again when he tried to seal us in the Dark World where we finished him permanently and not only escaped the Dark World, but also escaped the destruction of his collapsing crystal empire. With him gone, the Changelings were free and we were hailed as heroes. It helped that the Patron Deity of the Moon, Nightmare Moon, blessed us with her powers to take the fight to Sombra."

"And our people will forever be in gratitude to you, Saito Hiraga, and Lumine Starr," said Queen Chrysalis, smiling brightly.

Sekai smiles warmly.

"Yeah. Of course..."

And the happy smiles faded away in a hurry. Chrysalis's own smile turned to that of an angry frown. "Yes... Sombra cheated death and has returned."

"I promise you Chrysalis... he will be stopped for good this time."

"And this time, I will not stand idly by and let him resume his destructive rampage. With the blessings of our Patron Deity of the Moon, I will aid you."

The ship jolted a bit, signaling Saito docked at the base, as the hanger doors were opening.

A Federation Marine was waiting calmly when the doors fully opened. Sekai steps out and salutes the soldier briefly.

"Welcome to the Galactic Federation, Sekai Jiraiya. You're at Docking Bay 4."

"Good. That way we don't get lost when we leave later."

A cheap attempt at humor. The Marine chuckles briefly.

"Saito Hiraga has informed base of what transpired at the Islands of Hawaii. We all detected a large burst of energy spikes coming from that region. I am sure this is something that will be brought up to the Chairman and the Federation Council."

"Yeah. Originally, we're escorting Queen Chrysalis here to the Federation, so she can officially join the galactic communities. Then the crap at Hawaii happened... and now we got more extra guests."

The Marine behind his helmet's visor blinks, seeing multi-colored ponies walking out of the ship. Some had wings, other had unicorn horns. The tallest one with the wavy "in-the-breeze" colorful hair had both wings and a horn.

"This is a lot of metal," one of the ponies spoke. The mare with the white coat and purple mane looked a bit... distressed at the "drab colors" around her. "This place could use more color..."

"Uh... am I hallucinating?"

"Colorful ponies that can speak the human language, and for those with horns, can use a crude form of spirit artes, yes. You are not hallucinating, soldier."

The marine shakes his head, but remains calm in this odd situation. "Okay. I can tell just wanting to know will be troublesome. Colonel Hiraga was notified of his son's arrival and he'll join you shortly to escort your entourage to the Federation Main Base."

"Of course, soldier. Carry on with your duty."

With a salute, the marine left them to their business.

"Hey Saito, you know your dad's here right?"

"Likely called with others of high ranks regarding the Phazon Threats," answered Saito.

"And that would be correct, son."

The footfalls came from a tall imposing man with trimmed slickened dark hair with some grays along the sides. This was Fugaku Hiraga, Saito's father.

"Hey dad."

Father and son share a family moment/hug.

"We meet again, Jiraiya," another voice cuts in.

Sekai knew that voice. Looking over, another taller being was walking up to them with heavier footfalls encased in ice blue armoring and trailing with ice crystal vapors. The tall unidentifiable alien has the pony guards take defensive positions in front of their princess, and the girls to stare in awe and some in light fear of the strange creature walking on two legs. Sekai was always referred by his last name by this particular bounty hunter.

"Rundas. Yes, it has been awhile since we last met. Only six months since we ran into one another on that desert moon..."

Rundas is his face was seen would be smirking here at this point. But you can tell the Phrygisian was invisibly grinning with a smug attitude.

"I was here dropping off a recent successful bounty. An enemy of the Galactic Federation tried to sell secrets to its enemies. I caught him and took residence on the G.F.S. KAITO-3 until we reached Federation Base on Earth. The man's head is a high profile target and the mission was to bring him directly to the main headquarters instead of a Federation Outpost in the universe once captured. I would like to keep his head as a trophy... but well... you know the rules. Besides, this guy was a real prick."

"Who?"

"Leon Schindler."

Sekai hissed at the name. Many a hunter whom has ever come across the man known as Leon Schindler would curse his name black and blue with hate. The man was a crafty snake of the galaxy, often betraying those he teams up with when the situation calls for a "strategic retreat" that often left his former allies either in a stranded situation, or dead.

"It was only a matter of time before that man pissed off the Galactic Federation. I only wish it was us who captured that asshat."

Rundas laughed. "Well, finders keepers on the bounty, Jiraiya."

"Lucky bastard. I hope you at least iced him."

"He previously had a serious case of blue balls, if you catch the hidden meaning."

Sekai laughed. "Nice, Rundas, nice."

"Well, enough talk of the asshat," said Fugaku. Yes, even Fugaku has heard of the asshat named Leon Schindler.

"Yeah. Nice capture of Schindler, Rundas," said Saito to Rundas, who merely waves off the compliments.

"A lot of crazy stuff happening with you and your friends son, I take it?"

"Yeah dad," Saito answers, "lots of crazy stuff."

"Well, if you and your company will follow me. I'll take you to the surface. The scenery of the city from here is very beautiful at night."

And it WAS a beautiful sight, at least for the pony visitors from another world. But it was also awe-inspiring to them. For the others it was just normal scenery when they visit the Earth, and thus nothing different was amiss. For Princess Celestia however, her original intention when visiting the human world was now off-track, since learning that humanity has evolved beyond their home world; traveling the stars themselves amongst alien races and everything.

The ponies stopped after minutes of traveling through strange corridors after entering a large building made of steel and glass. They were at some sort of check point if the humans in white hazmat outfits were any indication. A plastic knock indicated Klaus ran into the wall. Yes, he was still in his water hamster ball, and had followed everybody. Hey, he's a human in the body of an alien fish...

"I'm sorry if it's rude, but standard procedure for all visiting the Galactic Federation is a bioscan of your entirety to ensure nothing harmful gets passed through the borders," Fugaku explained.

Princess Celestia did not mind; they were simply cautious. It was likely a rule of their government, too.

"Of course."

"Oh, and Princess Celestia, even if they are your guards, normally they won't be allowed to carry weapons such as spears." He got no attention from the guards; they were almost like statues with how rigid their poses were. "However, as you are visitors you have diplomatic law for personal protection. Just promise they won't do anything harmful."

"They will not act unless I say so. They are dutiful and loyal soldiers to the kingdom," she replied.

Sekai nods. "Thanks. The bioscan won't hurt. It's harmless, and relatively quick."

Saito demonstrated by going through the procedure. As he stood in the small cubed room, lights emerged and line-scanned his entire body under a luminous blue hue.

"All biosigns normal. Registered Weapon: Derflinger the Devourer of Magi. Scans Green. You're free to pass, Mister Hiraga."

Saito left the chamber through the other side. Rundus went next, deciding to stick around; the colorful ponies interested him for some reason. He went through with no trouble, followed by Lumine, then Fugaku (again), then Sekai.

As this went on, Celestia was thinking back to her plans. You see, her original plan was as she had told the Prince Sekai Jiraiya: offer friendship and help the human world curb the war-like tenancies, and end the bloodshed and hate. But with humans spread far beyond just their planet, settling on other planets and moons and stars, coexisting with various different alien races yet indentified by names, this was going to be much more difficult, even when she decides whether or not to mention her idea of setting up Conversion Bureaus to entice humans of accepting their peaceful ways of pony life...

This world's Queen Chrysalis exited the chamber, given the green light. Next was the fish in the water ball. It was amazing to the ponies no human blinked at a FISH of all things entering their chamber thingy.

"Bioscan complete: Signs normal. Scans are green. You may precede, Klaus Haussler."

The fish in the ball rolls out of the chamber when the other door swings open.

"You're next, madam," said one of the suited humans. One of the others in the suits weren't human, as they had four arms instead of two and on bird-like hind legs. The four-armed female alien typed away on the console's keyboard as Celestia went inside with no hesitation. The other guards followed their princess, and Twilight and her friends followed their princess.

Another thing that bothered Celestia: three names known in Equestria (Queen Chrysalis, King Sombra, Nightmare Moon) having vastly different counterparts/history in this world...

"Please remain still as we conduct the scans," the alien woman tells the group, as the scans begun.

...

...

...

...

...

Beep-beep-beep!

"Multiple signatures detected. Orange Light."

"What is it?" questions Fugaku.

"Its energy signatures, Colonel," one of the other technicians said. "It's coming from those tacky ornaments six of the creatures are wearing, sir. And of course the weapons are detected from the armored creatures... crude-looking spears."

"Tacky?" Applejack muttered aloud.

Celestia didn't know whether or not they were insulted.

"Let me check from the monitor here," Sekai requests.

One of the technicians was given the okay and data was sent to an outside monitor. Sekai studied the detection scans. While magic existed, yes, it's a force the Federation hardly dealt with. Before the Chozo had vanished from the galaxy, they were the shamans of magic. Few other alien races dealt with the arcane arts like the Chozo had, Sekai's formerly-existed race included.

"It's alright, sirs. Those ornamental necklaces and tiara are magical in nature. I recognize the strand of the spectrum the signatures give off. I'm sure the princess can clarify."

Celestia answers. "Yes, they are the Elements of Harmony, the greatest magic known to ponydom."

Sekai nods. "Besides, my Chozo Staff is that of a mature artifact. Is everything else okay in the scan, however?"

"Yes, sir. No viruses or strands of dangerous germs. They are clean of any contamination."

Sekai nods. "Then let them through. I'm a magical expert in any manner."

"Very well, prince."

One of the technicians at the computer types away and the scans were given the okay. The other door swings open allowing the ponies to exit.

"That took longer than normal," Rainbow Dash stated, taking flight into the air. She didn't like having to stand still as those line lights ran all over their bodies.

"We always have to be careful. Sometimes Space Pirate spies tend to infiltrate the Galactic Federation just to do damage from within."

Celestia just stayed quiet, as she and her entourage are brought further into the humans' large building. She was hoping their trek ended. Whoever this Chairman Keaton was, Celestia hoped Sekai was just joking. Like an alien could be in charge of what looks like a huge government for humankind...

FIVE MINUTES LATER...

Princess Celestia stared at the short squat-looking ALIEN in the brown robes and wearing a crude version of a suit and shirt with red bow-tie. He had gangly-looking greenish brown skin, with various wrinkles here and there, a wide mouth that took most space of his short head, and he had two eyes that stood on short eye stalks.

"Colonel Fugaku... I see your son has come and visit us," said Chairman Keaton.

"It's in regards to the interruptions of the energy spikes the Galactic Federation had detected during the meeting regarding the upcoming Phazon Crisis," Fugaku answered.

"Chairman Keaton, sir." Saito nods in politeness to the squat alien. "Originally, my crew was escorting a VIP to the Galactic Federation, in hopes that she and her people can finally join the galactic communities and give tribute and help to the Federation when it comes to our common enemy, the Space Pirates. Sir, meet Queen Chrysalis. She is the royal leader of her race, known as Changelings."

"It is an honor to meet you in person, Chairman Keaton," Chrysalis bows in a feminine manner.

Keaton smiles kindly. "A pleasure to meet you, your highness. And who are the... equines that stand behind you, Mister Hiraga?"

"Well... it's in regards to the energy spikes. When we arrived to Earth we picked up the energy spikes relating to magic. We traveled when a secondary burst of magic was detected, this time one of darkness. Then an old enemy that once had Chrysalis's planet enslaved had apparently returned back from the dead. We fought the dark crystal sorcerer, King Sombra, but he decided to unleash all of his power. We forced the ponies into the gunship as we escaped the crystallization zone. Hawaii is crystallized, sadly, and also behind a powerful force field of magic."

"I spoke with them as we flew to the Federation," Sekai picks up the tale. "The regal winged unicorn is Princess Celestia. She is apparently a co-ruler of her home world called Equestria. They are talking ponies, to be blunt. The ones with the unicorn horns can use magic like I can... albeit different from my race's branch of spirit artes. They came to this world through a branch of light-attuned spirit artes, but apparently their beacon of light magic attracted the dead soul of King Sombra... and he had returned to the world of the living through the fusion of darkness and light."

"Hm. I see. Well, while we can get into discussion about our two royal visitors from different worlds, our meeting regarding the Phazon Crisis will resume shortly. Afterward, however, I will bring you both to attention with the council. I hope you do not mind waiting quietly off to the side?"

"No Chairman," Chrysalis answers. "Please, I have heard much of this Phazon, and I too am worried about how dangerous this substance could be to the universe at large. I can wait until the end of the meeting."

Princess Celestia just nodded her head once, folding her wings inward. Many of the words were foreign to her, and she never heard of this thing called Phazon, but judging by the tones regarding the word, it was anything but good.

As the Council of the Galactic Federation poured back into the chamber hall, the ponies stood away in one corner, while Saito and company decided to sit around Fugaku and the other high-ranking military soldiers of the Marines and Army. Many of the council, both human and alien in origin, noted the ponies that were in the room but kept silent as they sat down in their assigned seats.

Clearly, the human world is much bigger than we had anticipated, Celestia thought, seeing the various unknown alien faces of various models and creation. This will be tough to begin when I am given my spotlight...

Hopefully, at least to Celestia's sake, her greetings do not agitate the panel of humans and aliens she was seeing sitting on their rows of elevated seats, and the apparent "leader" of Earth. So much study to the human world and many theories and speculations surrounding this world were completely demolished upon seeing things vastly different than what the artifact (originally) showed them.

Why couldn't simple plans remain simple?

Saito Hiraga is a character from Familiar of Zero. That also includes Derflinger. This version of Saito comes from another Metroid crossover I wrote entitled The Familiar of Zero Mission. And along with Saito are my OCs Sekai Jiraiya and Lumine Starr, whom in said story mentioned arrive in Halkeginia and thus all sorts of chaos happen with their arrival. I'm also borrowing elements from that Metroid/Familiar of Zero crossover story's background for this massive oneshot. I should go back to that fic and edit the plot to update species names and languages...

Another cameo crossover blends F-Zero and Captain Falcon, with the F-Zero races being the NASCAR of the Metroid universe. And finally, I took Nightmare Moon, Queen Chrysalis, and King Sombra, and gave them Metroid backgrounds and altered history opposed to their pony counterparts and then blended the Conversion Bureau oneshot stories I have read lately into this My Little Pony oneshot. The final mixing bowl we got here is the ponies coming to a human world that has spread across various different planets and galaxy regions in the universe...

Some side additional ingredients are using the Long Dau language (Japanese, not English) from Tales of Xillia as the native spells language for my OC Sekai Jiraiya...

Does Princess Celestia eventually get her Conversion Plot going even after learning humans are not alone in the universe and are so far spread out, or will this fail, especially in light of the upcoming wars with the Pirates' use of Phazon, and the return of King Sombra the dark crystal alien sorcerer? If I feel like writing a response to this oneshot, I will...

FINALLY: I should point out I'll take requests from reviewers or readers who want me to write something for them, much like I would ask for my other collection stories of Bleach, Naruto, and Harry Potter. Just keep in mind that anything related to clop will be done but likely on AdultFanFiction instead of here...

In-Story Summary: Twilight Sparkle, Sunset Shimmer, and Trixie Lulamoon have one thing in common: swords, guns, magic, and boots to (demonic) asses. Oh, and they are unicorn ponies that for as long as they can remember have lived on Planet Earth as humans, never knowing that they came from a magical land in another universe known as Equestria.

The Magical Girls, Pt. 1

No one knew where they came from, or for that matter, their oddly bizarre hair colors when they were found by a passing off-duty officer many years ago in the year 2009. Then again, when seen by the public, they'd be mistaken for Japanese cosplayers. But growing up together, the three young girls considered one another sisters. For one thing, all three discovered latent abilities that would otherwise be considered fantasy: magic. They learned as they got older that, yes, there was such a thing as monsters and demons. These monsters hide within the darkness, and would prey upon the unsuspecting.

When they were only eleven years old, they were attacked by a demon that hungered for their strong magical auras. They barely survived the encounter, only getting lucky after a burst of magic from the three girls. Ever since, they trained themselves in self-defense, learned their limits to their magical talents, expanding upon it, discovering that old magicks did exist in the world but were lost to mankind. They also were proficient in guns and the use of swordplay. All of this secret knowledge they have kept hidden from others, as many would likely not understand magic's real existence.

It is currently the year 2025, and three seventeen year old girls were walking home after an exhausting day in high school.

"Well, today was very informative, huh?"

The first girl was Twilight Sparkle, the unofficial leader of their three-girl group. She had violet-colored eyes, and her hair reached down in a smooth straight with slight curling around the sides and ends. Her hair color was moderate sapphire blue with violet and brilliant rose streaks. She had a healthy skin coloration, despite the fact that she gave off the aura of being a bookworm.

The second girl was Trixie Lulamoon. Her hair was shoulder-length in wavy curls. She has dark grayish violet eyes, and the colors of her hair were two-toned pale cornflower blue with very pale cornflower blue stripes running through her hair. She was a shade pale than Twilight.

The third girl was Sunset Shimmer. Her eyes are a moderate cyan. Her hair long curly waves, curlier and wavier than Trixie's hair style and slightly two inches longer than Twilight's hair length, and the colors were a blend of crimson and yellow stripes/streaks. Unlike her two sisters, she had a bit of a faint tan to her skin tone.

The normal school uniforms they wore consists of a dark blue skirt with knee-length or thigh-length socks, dark dress shoes, a white long-sleeved shirt and red ribbon secured around the collar, and wearing a jacket colored dark red with white accents. The insignia of the high school they go to is embroidered upon the left upper area of the jacket sleeve, and stitched upon the left breast pocket. Only Twilight wore the knee-length socks in her school's outfit, while her two sisters went for thigh-high socks.

"I think our Gym Coach was being a bit of a hard-ass today during third period," Sunset says to Twilight, as she holds her book bag in one hand over the left shoulder, her right hand manipulating her Android phone. She was playing a still very popular app game, Ayakashi: Ghost Guild.

As it was nearing summer, and there was only one month before they would be released for the summer break, students of the school they attended were allowed to wear their summer alteration, which would be blouses with shortened sleeves, and were allowed to leave their school jackets at home or to put away into their lockers. The girls were wearing their summer uniforms.

"You know, I think the teachers enjoy giving out harder assignments as school nears the end," complains Trixie, "Trixie does not enjoy it."

Each identical school bag held variations; the large button clasps. Twilight's had a six-pointed purple star with white sparkles. Sunset's was a yellow and red yin-yang-styled sun symbol. And Trixie's was a star-tipped wand with a magic ribbon trailing around it.

"Sis, school's out. You can drop the third person speech," Twilight informs Trixie.

Trixie gazes to her sister. "But it's fun to speak in the third person, Twily."

Twilight rolls her eyes.

Sunset looks up from her game she's playing on her droid. "Only you, Trixie, find the third person speech fun."

Trixie smiles Sunset's way.

"Look at it this way, girls," Twilight speaks up, "We had a fun day at school, we're learning a lot, and it's been a month and a half since we discovered any minor demons, or vampire covens, or supernatural sightings here in Shibuya."

Oh yes, and they live in Japan, apparently. Yes, forgot to mention that. What? You thought they lived in an English-speaking country like the United Kingdom or America? Of course the names sounded English to most Japanese citizens. But the three girls were fluent in Japan's native language, as if they were born in Japan. They also knew the English language.

"Twily, I hope you didn't jinx us by mentioning the supernatural," Sunset warns Twilight.

"And don't you follow up with the cliché answer, Twi. I doubt we want to be proven wrong and get attacked by vengeful evil spirits," Trixie immediately inserted herself, quick to cut Twilight off.

With a huff, she glares at Trixie and Sunset. "As if I'm going to jinx us! Moments like that only happen in anime!"

"And our life hasn't been like a real-life anime? Considering our special talents?" Sunset reminded Twilight, stressing the last two words.

"Puh-leeze! If anything happens, we'll be ready," Twilight waves off the concerns.

The other two girls roll their eyes upon Twilight's statement. The last time that was uttered, half the east area of the Kanto region was nearly destroyed by an ancient medieval castle of chaos-incarnate that almost unleashed a horde of ghouls, goblins, ghosts, and monsters alike approximately two years ago.

=0=0=0=0=

The home the girls lived at was fit for a family of five. The extra space was necessary for some of their hidden magical secrets. It was on the outskirts of Shibuya's business districts and the family. The building was a two-story location. The ground floor having all the necessities of a living room area combined with a dining area, a kitchen in the back, and a large auditorium-like room where they train and practice. The front area was also where they meet their clientele. The upstairs were the sleeping quarters and other rooms off-limits to visitors.

Since their emancipations at a young age, proving they were responsible to live on their own, they started up a business. The name of their business was aptly called Mahō Shōjo. They did the occasional odd jobs for the people of Shibuya, but nothing that would be considered criminal. For the very few, they would take on cases of the supernatural type. On other days or weeks, it's really a front for when they would go out and take out demons or monsters that rise up from darkness.

It's a really interesting place.

Well, interesting if they would get job offers or calls on their business number. Lately they haven't been getting any clients for an odd job or two in the past six weeks.

Twilight was in the kitchen, wearing comfortable sweat pants and a shirt, and wearing a purple kitchen apron. She was preparing dinner. Trixie was lazing about on the couch already in her stars and moons-colored powder baby blue pajama pants and matching button top, button mashing on the game controller of the PlayStation X, playing an old but popular digital PlayStation 4 title, Batman: The Arkham Collection (a bundle of all the Arkham series game titles; Trixie was currently playing Arkham Knight). Over at the recliner near the three-seat plush couch was Sunset, clad in nothing but her vivid crimson panties and a canary yellow spaghetti tee, reading the Aincrad Arc of the Sword Art Online manga. Take note the manga faintly encompassed under her cyan-colored magical aura.

"Is dinner ready?"

"Almost. I'm nearly done with the pork cutlets," Twilight answered, taking careful preparation with the pan filled with hot vegetable oil and frying the final two breaded pork cuts to perfection.

"Rice with fried pork, again?"

"Well, it's better than take-out."

"Don't worry. I got other things, and I have a wonderful dessert in the refrigerator," Twilight informed Trixie.

"Hey, Twilight, have you heard Motomiya has a crush on you?"

The purple-haired girl blushed, hearing the name of Daisuke Motomiya, the purple-eyed boy with the single lightning-bolt streak of vivid green in his unruly dark hair. Twilight decides to retaliate. "Well, what about Kazuto? He's been giving you love-struck looks since school began."

Sunset blushed now, recalling the rather shy and timid-like personality of the pale violet-eyed blue-haired boy who went by the name Hinata Kazuto.

Trixie giggles. "Our tough and headstrong Sunset and the cutely shy Kazuto-kun?

"Oh yeah, Trixie? I heard that Kanō was peeping at you during the end to gym class today," Twilight informed Trixie.

Sakura Kanō was the girl's full name, with red eyes and pale pink hair. She was not afraid to express the fact she was a full-blown lesbian. And she had quite the attraction to poor Trixie, who unfortunately was straight. And Trixie sighs.

"I wish I could just tell Kanō that I'm not interested in her in that manner. But..."

Sunset smirked. "Every time you think you're safe, she pops in and practically molests your boobs."

A furious blush emerges. Trixie glares at her laughing bacon-haired sister.

Twilight laughs from the kitchen.

"Shut up, Twily!"

"Sorry! But it's always a funny routine, Trixie," said Twilight.

Trixie huffs, and looks back to the TV in anger, taking her anger out on the bad guys in the game.

"Well, at least Kanō has yet to try and finger you," Sunset quips.

A pillow magically thrown in Sunset's face was Trixie's response.

"No unnecessary roughhousing, girls. Tomorrow we're going to try and get clients into our home."

Sunset tosses the pillow back with her magic aura, in which Trixie catches easily without looking away from the TV.

"At least we have part-time jobs aside running Mahō Shōjo," Sunset tells Twilight.

Twilight only smiles as she finishes the last details of their dinner.

=0=0=0=0=

"Once upon a time, in the magical land of Equestria, there were two regal sisters who ruled together, and created harmony for all the land. To do this, the eldest used her unicorn powers to raise the sun at dawn; the younger brought out the moon to begin the night. Thus, the two sisters maintained balance for their kingdom and their subjects, all the different types of ponies.

"But as time went on, the younger sister became resentful. The ponies relished and played in the day her elder sister brought forth, but shunned and slept through her beautiful night. One fateful day, the younger unicorn refused to lower the moon to make way for the dawn. The elder sister tried to reason with her, but the bitterness in the young one's heart had transformed her into a wicked mare of darkness: Nightmare Moon.

"She vowed that she would shroud the land in eternal night. Reluctantly, the elder sister harnessed the most powerful magic known to ponydom: the Elements of Harmony. Using the magic of the Elements of Harmony, she defeated her younger sister, and banished her permanently in the moon. The elder sister took on responsibility for both sun and moon. And harmony has been maintained in Equestria for generations since."

This particular tale was one that all ponies would read if they ever visited the Canterlot Library. However, old pony tales often tend to have grains of truth. It is a thousand years since that battle between sisters, one of goodness, the other corrupted by darkness. The land of Equestria lived in this blessed harmony, ruled by Princess Celestia.

However, a couple years ago, three families were struck with tragedy. Unknown magicks had struck quite suddenly. They were three rather innocent foals that were born with great magical potential were lost from cracks in the air. Princess Celestia looked into every known book she had, and even the sealed books of her long old mentor, Starswirl the Bearded. The chaotic magic felt in the displaced magical remains did not connect to Discord. The Spirit of Chaos and Disharmony was still sealed away in the gardens in stone.

But even she would find no answer as to what caused these abnormalities in the magical spectrum. It was not related to pony magic, or even zebra Wiccan magic. And other "evils" that could be responsible were still long banished (King Sombra) or forever imprisoned (Lord Tirek).

Today was going to be another beautiful day. The birds were vibrant and alive with song, there was nary a dark cloud in the sky, and the warmth from her sun shined down upon all the bright and cheerful ponies, basking them with the warmth akin to the love of a mother's touch.

Celestia looks out the window of her bed chambers, gazing upon the bustling city traffic that is Canterlot. A couple years ago, she felt the magical potential of three unicorn foals and knew that one day these three foals would grow up to become great ponies in Equestria. And then they were taken away. Each and every single pony within her country was like her children. And she felt the pain of the families when they had lost their blessings on that tragic day.

There was a polite knocking upon her door.

"Enter."

The door opens with a push of unicorn magic, as a white-coated stallion with a blue mane emerged. He wore the centurion armor of the Royal Guards. Upon his flank was the symbol of a gleaming shield. This particular pony was Shining Armor. He was the youngest captain of the Royal Guards, having strived to become somepony who would be the hero to those unable to protect themselves. He also was the older brother of the unicorn who vanished years ago with the other two disappeared foals.

"Captain Shining Armor. Good morning."

"Good morning, your majesty," Shining Armor greeted the princess, bowing to her.

She smiles. "Rise, you need not be too formal with me."

"I'm sorry, but I do not wish to cause any form of trouble."

She smiles, chuckling quietly to herself.

"I feel that today's preparations for the Summer Sun Celebration is underway?"

"Yes, Princess," answers Shining Armor, as he walks by her side, the unicorn and the alicorn leaving the bed chambers. "This year's location is in a small cozy town just on the outskirts of Canterlot. I believe Iron Wing called it Ponyville."

She nods. "Good. I hope this year's Summer Sun Celebration goes swimmingly like last years."

Celestia hears a sigh come from her captain. She then remembered: it was on a Summer Sun Celebration date when her captain's sister and the other two families' daughters were ripped away from Equestria.

"My apologies, Princess. I'm just..."

The tip of her right wing touches Shining Armor's snout, silencing him.

"I understand, Shining Armor. Your sister and the other two unicorns years ago all held a great magical potential. They would have been accepted without problem into my academy had that tragic night not happen. I still feel at fault that I was unable to help the three families torn by this tragedy."

"It's why I decided to become captain of the guards. I want to protect those who cannot protect themselves." He glances at his cutie mark. His dream, the ambition to succeed, granted him the cutie mark he now proudly possessed. It went hoof in hoof with his name he was proud to have. "And maybe one day, I can find a way to bring back not only my little sister, but the two daughters of the two families who vanished on that same night."

Celestia smiles to her captain.

"Before we go and face the Day Courts, captain, may I inquire as to the relationship you share with my niece, Cadance? How far is it?"

Her smile grew larger as an obvious blush begins to form on the stallion's face.

"Y-Your majesty," he stammered. He did have a cute look when he looked nervous. No wonder Cadance fell for the stallion.

Shining Armor and Cadance met about four years ago, and became friends quickly. Eventually, it turned to having crushes on one another, and then eventually love blossomed forth. Even though the love between them was special and also very cute to spy upon, many ponies didn't know. For those who did, they kept smiling about it, teasing the couple every now and then.

Celestia was often the one pony who teased the cute couple more than others when in private.

In the village known as Ponyville, the ponies that lived there were all working together to spruce up their town, making sure nothing was amiss. It was always an honor when your town or city was elected for the Summer Sun Celebration, and the pride all of Ponyville were feeling was to ensure this year's Summer Sun Celebration was THE best ever.

In Sugarcube Corner, Pinkie Pie felt her Pinkie Sense go off.

"Huh..."

When her signs went away, she was rather confused. This was unlike anything she ever felt before.

"I'll have to make sure I have extra cupcakes and ammunition for my Party Cannon. I have this odd feeling it'll be needed later tonight."

With this thought in mind, Pinkie Pie makes sure Gummy got breakfast before she begins to help the Cakes in the kitchen preparing the bountiful deserts for the Summer Sun Celebration.

=0=0=0=0=

Meanwhile, back on Earth, the three lost foals were human teenagers, and the three sisters were working at their part-time job. Twilight managed the inventory at the corner market they worked at, while Sunset and Trixie took care of the sales and helping those in need. Twilight looks down upon the papers on the clipboard, the end of her pen chewed softly in her mouth. A smile crossed her lips.

Yes, everything was all accounted for.

Twilight's clothing consisted of a knee-length purple dress a buttoned white shirt, a light purple and pink sweater vest over the shirt, knee-high socks, and white purple-laced sneakers. She had her hair braided back in a neat manner while she was working.

Exiting from the back, she spies Trixie bidding a farewell to an elderly woman who left with a small plastic bag filled with bottled packages of coconut milk. Trixie wore a faded dark blue pair of jeans, and the shirt was also a buttoned blouse, crisp white, and she came to the shop with her and Sunset with a white hoodie. It was folded up and set off in the back to be retrieved when they leave later. Trixie enjoyed wearing the platform zipper boots that were knee-high and in dark blue or black colors; the pant legs were comfortably tucked into the boots.

"So, how are things in the back, Twily?"

"Everything's swell, and everything's accounted for. No missing inventory. And the more adult mangas in the back are under close watch."

Both Twilight and Trixie sneak a look to the back where a couple of young boys barely in their teens were trying to act nonchalant and innocent. But the two girls knew they were likely trying to steal the adult manga books this shop (unfortunately) kept in stock. Just as one of the boys with glasses thought he was sneaky in stealing one of the porn mangas, the poor kid got swatted on top of his head. The manga fell to the floor. Standing behind the three boys was Sunset, looking down at them with disapproval and the shop's sweeping broom in hand.

"Don't even think about it," she chastised the boys.

The three boys make a run for the open exit, disappearing into the bustling city life.

Sunset was the leather wearer of the trio, having a leather biker jacket in all black with custom-made sun-shaped buttons with a zipper, the tab also shaped like a styled sun symbol. The jacket of course was put away in the back with Trixie's hoodie. She wore a short fuchsia skirt with bright yellow stripes running down the hips, a pale red t-shirt, thigh-high socks and red/white sneakers.

All three girls were wearing the shop's pale brown apron that had the logo of the corner shop they worked for part-time.

Trixie flashed Sunset a thumbs-up at her sister. "Good shot, Sunny!"

"Why are the perverts getting younger and younger?" Sunset complained, putting the hentai manga back on the high shelf.

Twilight offers a comforting smile. "It's 2025. The internet's a bizarre world in this day and age."

"It's 2025, we got fast internet, virtual reality gaming that doesn't follow the stories of Sword Art Online, and many uses of clean energy sources, and yet we still do not have any hover bikes or flying cars. The future sucks without a flying car or bike, or a real jetpack that's not part of video games."

The other two girls giggle at that comment.

"What? You want something like Fabula Nova Crystallis?"

"Not exactly... I bet they promised flying cars back in the 1970s. Then the 1990s and they have nothing. Then we're past the year 2000 and still there are no cars in the sky not attached to wires."

"Maybe it'll be the year 2100 before flying anything happens and space travel is instant?"

The voice came from the shop's entrance. It was Hinata.

"Ah, hello Kazuto," Twilight greeted their classmate from high school.

"Hello, Sparkle," the shy boy greeted the purple-haired girl with a smile.

"Hey Sunny! Your boyfriend is here!" Trixie shouted to Sunset.

And the laughter erupts as two equal blushes cross the faces of two classmates.

An action-y ringtone (1) blares from Twilight's cellphone. "Excuse me," Twilight excuses herself, heading for the back of the shop for privacy, leaving Hinata with Trixie and Sunset.

She answers the call when the door is closed behind her.

"Hello?"

"Hello, is this Mahō Shōjo of Shibuya?"

The voice was cool and calm, almost melodious for a male voice.

"Yes, I'm Twilight Sparkle of Mahō Shōjo. How may I help you?"

"The password is..."

Twilight tensed briefly. It was an idea that came from the old Devil May Cry games, and from its animated series years ago, and they played upon this for their business's real attraction. The password was something that no normal person would use for a business contract as serious as the things they deal with.

"Pinkamena Diane Pie," the client on the other end of the call finished.

=0=0=0=0=

In Equestria, Pinkie sticks her head out the window and releases a sneeze. Rubbing her nose of a twitch that happened, she washes her hooves clean in the sink, and returns to baking cookies and cupcakes for the Summer Sun Celebration.

=0=0=0=0=

"So, what may I help you with, sir?" Twilight asks, fully in her Demon Hunter persona.

"I have dealt with some monsters of a dark nature myself. So it is not uncommon to come across those who have dealt with things the majority of the world may never believe in, even with proof. Frankly, Miss Sparkle, I am rather glad to know that I am not the only hunter of dark hidden monsters and spirits with good talent."

Before Twilight could ask questions...

"Sometime tonight, I wish to meet with the three sisters of Mahō Shōjo. There is a dark power that is slowly regaining it strength, and will plunge two different worlds in darkness, starting with the world that mirrors Earth. Kind of like Zero no Tsukaima, only without the funny hi-jinks and the accidental harems."

"Who are you?" she demands coolly.

The voice gives a chuckle. "You may refer to me as Black Crystal Wisher. I will wait on top our high school's roof."

Click.

Twilight stares at her phone, even as she hits the end call button.

Wait. Our high school...?

Princess Celestia was being groomed by her personal hoof-maids. The Day Courts were small as today was the annual Summer Sun Celebration. Aside her usual routine, Celestia was fully prepared for the annual celebration. As she sees the sun lowered and the moon slowly rising upon the now star-lit night, she was deep in thought. Any minute now, the nightmares that took her sister away will arrive.

The stars shall aid in the mare of the moon's escape, and Equestria will know nothing but eternal night.

Oh, Luna...

"You are set, Princess Celestia." The pony who said this had a white coat with silver mane done up in a stylish braid, and red eyes. She was clad in the typical royal maid uniform. Her cutie mark was an open silver pocket watch with a short chain attached.

"Thank you, Silver Watch."

The maid smiles happily to her princess. "I'm glad to be of help, your majesty."

She gathers her materials and leaves, as Celestia exits the room, and walks down the hallway. Eventually she is in the main hallway that shows stained glass windows. She stopped in front of a stained window display that showed herself and Luna in harmony, before the incident that happened a thousand years ago.

It has been a thousand years since I had used the Elements of Harmony. I would not know if I am capable of using their powers if she returns to Equestria. If I am unable to call upon the Elements of Harmony...

She looks intently at the glass depiction of Luna.

Then my precious ponies will be in danger of Nightmare Moon's darkness...

Celestia lost track of time, as she stared upon the stained window display, recalling happier memories of her and Luna being together. From their fillyhood to adulthood, from the events they've faced together as one; the defeat of Lord Tirek and his banishment into Tartarus, the banishing of King Sombra, and the period when Discord held the world under an iron claw of disharmony and chaos and they eventually found the power to save the world. Eventually, her thoughts faded away when she heard the tell signs of her four personal guards marching up to her.

"Your majesty, we're ready," one of the guards informs. "The chariots are prepared, and we'll begin flight to Ponyville."

"Thank you, Skylight."

All across Equestria, all towns and cities were holding their own Summer Sun Celebration parties. A small smile graced her, as she knew that Ponyville was to be packed with many ponies, local and from out of town.

"Let us be off."

The guards followed after their princess in a box formation, towards the prepared chariot.

"Skylight, what of my niece Cadance?"

"Princess Cadance has already departed and is with Captain Shining Armor in Ponyville. The garrison of security has the town occupied."

Celestia smiles softly. "It's another holiday for all my ponies, Skylight."

In her thoughts, she was worried. Her corrupted sister will soon emerge from the moon's surface. Then she'll have to once again face her sister in battle. Little did she know that a miracle will occur...

A cat-slitted eye opens, and it pierced the veil of darkness with its unholy yellowish glow.

The darkness will engulf everything. Soon the universe shall be mine!

=0=0=0=0=

On Earth, it was a clear night tonight. Aside adults who worked late hours at their jobs, or delinquents who were in minor gangs, the night life belonged to those who loved being out after dark. Three girls were out late at night, using their magic to speedily move across the tops of the roofs, heading towards their high school.

"I swear, it's like we're copying half the things we know from mangas or anime."

"Mahō Shunpo (Magic Flash Step). It was your idea, Trixie," Twilight informed her sister.

"Yeah, and I'm starting to regret it. I feel like we're pulling off copyright infringement."

"After three years, you come to this conclusion?" questioned Sunset.

"We're going to be late. That surprise kishin attack held us by an hour," Twilight informs her sisters.

The three girls wore near matching outfits with color variations. These outfits consisted of knee-high leather platform boots with chevron bordered armor-recreated kickpads attached to the front, secured by brass buttons and straps. Comfortable white blouses are worn, with dark gray armor-threaded suit vests resembling old-styled vampire hunter's vests. They all wear black leather pants with military-fashioned belts; purple for Twilight, blue for Trixie, and red for Sunset. The pant leggings are tucked neatly into the boots they wear. And each teen wore a long, two-tailed coat with a pronounced buckled collar; moderate violet for Twilight, pale cobalt for Trixie, and red for Sunset. As for the colors of the boots: Twilight's was purple with the pads pale pink with the borders white. Sunset's are crimson with the pads a faded yellow. And Trixie's were cobalt blue with pale cornflower blue pads.

Trixie used magically-augmented firearms, highly-customized M1911-style cerulean-tinted handguns with silver highlights that have a fusion design of heavy revolvers set in place along the handles and the back ends. The barrels of both guns were heavily customized into triple-barreled ends and cylinders. They are ornamented with scrollwork patterns, which are disguised runic sigils that augment magical properties into the weapons. The hair sights were customized with short pointed unicorn horns.

Sunset wielded a unique weapon that was the cross of a sledgehammer and a dual-bladed lance. The weapon is crafted out of strong metal alloys, etched with magic runes along the long handle of the weapon for magical boosts. The tail end of the handle is capped with a rounded thick gold ring, and a topped rounded red gemstone. The handle itself is a bluish silver tint, with the base an identical gold thick ring with twin red tassels and dual red orbs like hair ties. The top of the weapon is as large as a three pound hammer head, and on the top of the hammer head is a dual-bladed lance tip the length of a butter knife; gleaming silver with gold highlights and edges.

And Twilight was a dual swords wielder. They were similar in designed to curve scimitars, capable of folding inward for compact carrying, and full deployment the length was that of standard katanas. The handles were crafted in black and ivory-fused grips with iron bottom caps. The sword's guard resembled that of the Lambert Light from Sword Art Online. The blades itself are a high-polished silver, with violet lining the sharp edges.

They arrived to the school, leaping over the gates and pushed a bit more magic under their feet to soar up to the top of the school's roof. They landed on an area of the roof that was somewhat common for high school couples to go to during the lunch period. There were few clouds in the sky, and one cloud just passed by, allowing the full illumination of the moonlight to shine down brightly. The roof is illuminated, and across from them, near the door access was a person clad in a trench coat, dark pants, boots, and shirt.

"About time you arrived."

He turns around.

The girls were surprised at the face greeting them.

"Daisuke?"

The violet-eyed teen smirked.

"I'm good with my voice at times. It should have been a tip-off to you, Twilight," he says to them, walking up to the three teens.

"So, what do you want, Daisuke? What did you mean by this darkness threatening our worlds?"

"Like I said... I have seen glimpses of it, but I know that there is indeed another world that seems to mirror our world. It's the inhabitants that are different." He reached up and removes his necklace. A soft rush of magical aura filled Daisuke before vanishing. He offers the girls another warm smile. "I'm not magically strong like you girls, but I still have this little secret talent. I guess it comes from the fact some of my ancestors have dealt with magical or spiritual exorcism of demons during the ancient feudal eras of this fine country many years ago."

"Huh. And Trixie had this odd feeling you were more than simply a talented and smart student, Motomiya."

"Please, Twilight refers to my first name. You and your sister can stop being formal with me. Aren't we friends?"

"Yes, we are friends. But Daisuke, this is a bit of a shock. I mean, you did give the correct password."

"Yeah, because no one would think to use the name of a pink hyperactive pony," was the slight sarcastic answer.

"What?"

"Nothing..."

The girls decided to ignore that.

A sudden cold wind blows through. It got real chilly. A cloth is unwrapped, and Daisuke reveals that he is carrying a katana in a beautifully decorated dark red and gold-accented sheathe. The weapon is drawn, and it is revealed the katana's blade was pitch black but held a sharp edge to it. It was not a sword of decoration.

"It's begun."

Unholy howls of anguish are heard, and the girls all draw their own weapons.

"What do you know?" Sunset inquires. Her eyes are hard and stance tense as she grasps her weapon with two hands.

"All I know is that this darkness is like a poison. It's like blood that wants to swallow you up and never let go."

"Was that a Soul Eater reference, Daisuke?" Trixie shouted at him, taking aim at a monstrous creature that materialized and pulls the triggers.

Six streaks of cobalt magical energy fly forward and strike the black monster, making it shriek in agony.

"I had a great grandfather that dealt with demons during his time alive in Kyoto. I've read his secret journals that I discovered behind a paper seal and it once referred to one of my ancestors that encountered this darkness now revealing itself. This kind of evil nearly ruined the world years ago, but in defeating it merely banished the entity to another world by the power of seven priestesses. But lately over the past thousand years, it's been regaining its strength."

"And if something's not done soon, our world will start to notice something is terribly wrong," theorized Twilight.

Another creature formed from a red mist, but Twilight easily cleaves through the spirit, dissolving it. Daisuke cleaved a monster spirit of his own, as Sunset sent one flying with a baseball swing of her weapon.

"Here they come, girls. Don't hesitate in their auras!"

As the Mahō Shōjo and their unexpected ally fight against more appearing ayakashi and kishin, over n Equestria, ponies were in a panic when a heavy aura of malice formed when Princess Celestia was introduced to the citizens of Equestria.

"Lemme at it! I'll beat it up!"

There was a mare with a long blonde ponytail mane and tail wearing a cowpony hat, and she had to keep in check a light blue Pegasus with rainbow-colored mane and tail.

"Whoa, nelly! Settle down, Rainbow Dash!" the cowpony mare said, teeth gritted as she kept the pony named Rainbow Dash from recklessly charging this evil-looking pony.

The dark-coated pony with the unicorn horn and wings laughs to herself.

"Honestly, I am surprised none of you know who I am. After all, the signs have been there. You should have known who I am!"

Then the slitted eyes turn to the regal princess, showing a steadfast aura of protection for the others.

"Nightmare Moon... you've returned."

The identified mare laughs evilly.

"Yes, it has been awhile, hasn't it, Celestia?" the evil pony stated. Her teeth were as sharp as a shark's when she grins madly in Celestia's view.

"I have defeated you once before, Nightmare. I can do it again!"

"Can you? Really? It has been so long; do you even have the connection to those accursed Elements of Harmony? Or has a thousand years passed rendered you no longer in control of the only power that can stop me?"

Lightning flashed as clouds rolled in all on their own, stirred by the dark magic of Nightmare Moon.

"Stand tall, stallions and mares! We will not fail our princess!" shouted the authoritive voice of Shining Armor.

"Yes, Captain!" the guards chorused.

Nightmare Moon laughs loudly.

"You believe they are any match for me? They are nothing but foals!"

Proving her point, she unleashes a destructive blast of dark magic. Princess Celestia easily counters with a light-attuned magical beam of her own.

SLICE!

Twilight on Earth breezed through a cloud of demons, slicing through them, and unleashing ribbons of magic from each swing of her dual blades. The ringing gunshots from Trixie's weapons would unleash bursts of magic from each discharge. The explosions were a bit bigger because of the magic the girl was channeling in her firearms. Sunset was supporting Daisuke, heavy swings and slicing/stabbing while Daisuke's impressive swordsmanship shined in this onslaught against dark shadowy demons.

High above, clouds began to form, swirling and the moon was slowly being blocked. This mirrored over on Equestria's side, as the guards obeyed Celestia's command to protect Ponyville while she fought against Nightmare Moon.

"I will not allow you to harm my precious ponies!" Celestia yells at the monster that holds her sister imprisoned, launching defensive spells against Nightmare's offensive ones.

"ENOUGH!" Nightmare roars, unleashing a destructive shockwave that crashed against Celestia's thrown magical shield. With another loud cry of rage, Nightmare Moon manages to break Celestia's shields and send her crashing through somepony's house.

"Princess!" Shining Armor yells in shock.

"Auntie!" was Cadance's cry of distress.

Lightning flashed, and thunder echoes. Then the lightning strikes begin to hit the ground, carrying a magical charge in each strike.

"We are strong! We are infinite! We shalt not be denied! We shalt rule over all in eternal night!"

Multiple blobs of shadows began to form from her magical aura, and then take the shape of terrifying monsters that begin to assault the poor town. Panicking citizens ran left and right, trying to avoid the strange bipedal monsters with their sharp dragon-like claws. The pegasi weren't spared, as some of the demons had leathery wings and gave chase in the skies.

On Earth, lightning began to strike the roof.

"What in the hell?"

The four crowded, Trixie nailing down the last of the devils that popped up. Then below their feet, large runes emblazoned into glowing view. Three points were highlighted with symbols that matched certain symbols three girls used to identify themselves by.

"Girls... I can feel ancient magic through these runes."

Are you the ones to destroy the darkness?

They heard that disembodied feminine voice.

They were then blinded by a brilliant flash of light.

When the blinding glare went away, they found themselves falling through the sky over a weird town of various homes made of thatch rooftops. Instead of a school rooftop and a bustling large city, they were surrounded by the vast scenery of green nature. The dark clouds still swirled above, and the thunder peals with dark taunts. Screams are evident, as multi-colored ponies were seen running in herd packs away from chasing demons. While the drastic change of scenery was something to address later, the girls all knew that when demons are around, innocent folks would be in trouble of getting possessed or killed.

Sunset remained as Twilight and Trixie used Mahō Shunpo to move closer and start killing the demons.

"I got you, Daisuke," said Sunset, carrying Daisuke to safety with her own Mahō Shunpo.

A scream is heard, as a pony with a pale yellow coat and light pink hair and wings was cowering violently, with what looked like three small fillies cowering behind the older winged pony.

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

The demons were killed by Trixie's rapid-fire of gunshots.

Closer to town square, Shining Armor fell, large gashes in his fur as he stood fiercely to protect Cadance. The demon rears its large claws up, ready to kill.

"Demon scum! Die!" a girl's voice yells.

Two swords flash rapidly, an arc of magical light tracing their paths. The demon was sliced apart, dissolving into sand and ash with a small fading wisp of purplish black smoke rising from the pile.

It was another bipedal being. This was not monstrous. It did not look like a Minotaur. But Shining Armor caught the glimpse of his would-be savior, and gasped. It was the mane... the color of that mane. He remembered that mane color vividly, belonging to his vanished baby sister when she was born...

The swords folded inward, swiftly sheathed at its sides, and then the hands that resembled Minotaur hands were held up. Magic began to form. Equestrian magic began to form.

The other demons had since switched targets to the more dangerous enemy that appeared.

Twilight grins.

"Time to be blown away! Jupiter Oak Prison!"

The magical aura surges into the earth, and then the charging demons are thrown into the air as the ground beneath their cloven or clawed feet exploded, and large tentacles of wooden vines violently constrict their targets.

"Nova Flare!" another mare's vice shouted. This came from another bipedal being, only with crimson and yellow hair, unleashing a blast of flames. The waves of fire twisted and arced like sun flares.

Both the monsters and the wood vines holding them hostage burned to ash.

Daisuke rushed towards the large source of the familiar darkness: Nightmare Moon.

Nightmare Moon saw the strange creature rushing at her form the corner of her eye and began sending magical beams at it. The speedy creature evaded her attacks.

Celestia didn't know what was going on, but she took advantage and unleashes a wave of light magic, knocking Nightmare back hard.

"Rip to pieces!" Daisuke cries out, landing a hard slash against Nightmare, causing a gash in her protective torso armor. Then he swung upward, launching Nightmare Moon into the air with that uppercut slice. "Stampede Strike!"

Trixie moved up, a Mahō Shunpo getting her to cross the distance and flips forward, slamming her feet down over the head of the dark alicorn and launching her into the ground with a plume of smoke when she impacted the dirt. Still hanging in the air, she twirls her body until she was now upside-down.

A viable rainstorm of magic bullets rain down upon Nightmare Moon.

"FOALS!"

A shockwave of dark magic erupts, pushing back Daisuke and Trixie. Trixie righted herself mid-air and landed on her feet with a displaced trace of cyan magic, and a magenta magical aura caught Daisuke.

"Daisuke! Trixie! You two okay?"

Daisuke coughed a bit. "Yeah Twilight, we're fine. But that creature over there..."

"Yeah. I sense an immense source of darkness within that being," comments Sunset.

Nightmare Moon snarls with rage. Her mane flared violently to her emotions.

"Strange Minotaur-like beings... posing a great threat... this I did not believe would happen. Alas, thou have annoyed me greatly."

She narrows her eyes upon the females.

"You females... possess pony magic."

That stunned them briefly, before they hardened their eyes and were ready to fight again. The dark aura of this creature was heavy. With a shout, Nightmare Moon unleashed a blinding flash. In reality Nightmare Moon used this tactic to stun her enemies, and made a strategic retreat far away from the town, and in the direction of a dark and foreboding forest.

The lingering demons not taken out by the four emerged from around buildings, eyes glowing red. All ponies hiding in safety peek out as the monsters surrounded the four strange beings. The resulting fight that happened lasted only four minutes, when the last demon dissolved into sand and burning ash, killed by Twilight.

Ponyville showed signs of damage from Nightmare Moons' return, to the summoning of those evil monsters.

"Hm, now I wonder just what we got ourselves into," comments Daisuke, swiftly docking his katana and holstering the sheath on the left scabbard hooked to his pants belt. The girls put away their weapons as well.

Suddenly several of the ponies in armor hesitantly surround them, armed with shields and throwing spears.

Princess Celestia walks up, holding a hoof up.

"Put your weapons down," she gives the command.

"Your majesty, we do not know what they are. They could be creations of the evil pony," one of the younger cadets argued.

"Do as I say," she says, giving the command for her soldiers to stand down.

Reluctantly, and with another verbal command from their head captain, lower their spears.

A faint breeze blows through, carrying soft-whispered words.

Can you save the world from the nightmare?

Only the four humans heard the words. But they were more focused upon the real-to-life pretty pony princess with the unicorn horn, wings, jewelry tiara, and the in-the-breeze colorful mane she possessed.

"I thank you for defending this town and my precious little ponies from the foul monsters from Tartarus. May I ask of your names, and what species you are. You do not look like the Minotaurs of Beefland."

Her voice was melodious. It carried the tone of a mother's love for her children. But the four humans knew that she possessed a similar power as the dark winged unicorn pony, but that of pureness, or warmth and light.

"I am Daisuke Motomiya," Daisuke introduced himself.

"My name is Sunset Shimmer," Sunset introduces herself next.

Princess Celestia's left ear gave a slight twitch. That name was familiar.

"I am the wonderful and loving Trixie Lulamoon," Trixie introduces herself with a flourish of a bow.

"And my name is Twilight Sparkle," Twilight says last. She is unaware that Shining Armor heard and tensed up, hearing the name of his vanished baby sister. "As for your questions... we're humans, scientific name homo sapien."

Princess Celestia's long memories were vast. She was immortal, after all. She's lived a very long life. She finally recalled those three particular names; they belonged to the disappearance of three foals several years ago, on a Summer Sun Celebration event. Celestia released her senses, and felt familiar unicorn magic coming from three of the four humans before her. The girls, she assumed they were female by their voices, held immense magical prowess.

Was... was it possible?

Are these the three missing unicorn foals, but apparently grown up, and no longer a pony?

---

So, basically it was a story where Sunset Shimmer, Twilight Sparkle, and Trixie Lulamoon grew up as sisters in the human world. After seeing this art of Sunset, Twilight, and Trixie together (as ponies, of course), this came to mind. Then it becomes something of a Human in Equestria type, only the humans were once pony-born. Then Nightmare Moon scenario...

For those likely confused, the name Hinata is considered unisex; it can be used for both boys and girls. Ideas like this can also be used by other writers (if he or she wants to). I'm sure someone better than I could expand upon Humans!Twilight/Sunset/Trixie in Equestria, along with Earth-born spiritual-powered male human.

Wish I could post this on FimFiction, too. But I doubt it'd be accepted...

Vinyl and Octavia

Vinyl Scratch and Octavia: two ponies who enjoy music. They however hold very different tastes. Vinyl was a lover of trance, dub-step, rock, house, and rave, often hosting rave parties as Master DJ for those that employ her services. Octavia enjoys classical music the most, piano, strings. She was a great violinist, but the cello is her favorite instrument. Two different girls, but they live under the same roof.

Octavia screamed awake, falling out of her bed as the loud rock music of her friend blares on the stereo speakers in the living room. It was almost like this every day for the past couple of years since they started living together as roomies.

"DAMN IT VINYL!" Octavia would screech, her ears taking a beating to the music.

She wonders why Vinyl has not gone deaf yet from all the loud sounds she bombards her body with when her friend throws "mad rave parties". Putting on ear muffs to at least dampen the audio, she storms out of her room and twists the knob on the volume.

Vinyl's head stops their bouncing and she turns around. There was Octavia, looking very annoyed.

"Good morning, Octavia!"

Oh, and did I forget to mention in this story, the ponies are humanized anthros?

Octavia points a finger at Vinyl. "I don't want our neighbors to call the cops on us again."

"Sorry. I just want a good wake-up as I eat breakfast."

Octavia grumbles under her breath, but stalks off to the kitchen where thankfully Vinyl had already been brewing her coffee in the machine.

Twilight, Naruto, and Emerald

Two young colts on the cusp of puberty were fighting one another with hoof cuffs, bucks, and biting. One colt had a burnt orange coat and a black messy ahoge-styled mane and short tail, vivid green eyes, and had a cutie mark design of a six-pointed green star with a yellow jagged lightning bolt in the center. The other colt had a brighter orange color some would say resembled the orange of prison jump suits, with a sunny yellow spiky windswept-styled mane, blue eyes that many would claim to be like the fierceness of the churning oceans of a powerful storm, had a fox-s bushy tail instead of a normal pony's tail, and had the cutie mark design of a strange tribal-like spiral mark with smaller intricate pattern, marks, and foreign characters not of Equestrian language. They were fighting for the affections of a cute filly that was also on the cusp of entering puberty. She had a violet coat, and a violet mane with brilliant rose and mulberry streaks in her long mane and tail. Her cutie mark design was a six-point star with sparkles surrounding it.

The names of these three young ponies: Naruto Uzumaki, Emerald Lightning, and Twilight Sparkle.

A much older pink pony stood there. This was Cadance, Twilight's old foal-sitter.

"What's going on?"

Twilight sighs.

"The boys are fighting for my affections once again," Twilight sighs. Although she was blushing because two very cute boys were so enamored for her, and had such strong feelings for her, they were constant rivals for her love.

"Huh? Interesting," said Cadance, finding it to be rather humorous. She couldn't wait to tell Shining Armor. Then again, Shiny may go Overprotective Big Brother Mode on the poor colts that were in love with Twilight.

"Cadance, can you stop them please?"

She smiles to the filly. "Of course, Twilight!"

And with a burst of her wings, she flew over and easily separated the fighting colts.

"Alright you two, enough. Can't you see you're annoying Twilight?"

The two colts also knew Cadance, as most of the time she also foal-sat Naruto and Emerald.

"But he started it!" the boys accused one another.

Twilight rolls her eyes at the two, and continues reading from her book.
