Chapter 04: Return To Canterlot High

At this moment, we find the Dazzlings leaving the high school out the back way to hang near the alley to chat about their latest work in having all of the school under their spell.

“Well, you girls certainly did well for yourselves.” A mysterious voice came from behind the alley in speaking to the Dazzlings that caught them by surprise.

“Who’s there?” Adagio asked off as she and her group got ready, they would sing their siren voices if need be to handle some trouble.

“Don’t be afraid, I don’t bite…much.” The mysterious figure behind the shadowy corners of the alley stated.

“Who are you, you sound…kinda familiar?” Sonata asked off in feeling like they know this guy, weird as it sounds.

“I should, for I am none other…than Fafnir of Mount Thunderflame.” The revealed figure spoke in showing only a portion of himself as he stays blended in the shadows while looking at the Dazzlings.

“Wait, as in the same Fafnir from Equestria?” Aria asked off curious by recalling that name.

“The very…same,” Fafnir slowly spoke in showing his fiendish smile.

“Wait, you got banished here too? How come like, we haven’t notice till now?” Sonata asked off in why this guy was here and why he was before them.

“For once, she makes a good point of your being here all too sudden.” Adagio remotely stated that Sonata made a good valid point.

“And that rarely happens.” Aria rolled her eyes to state dryly of Sonata ever having a good point.

“Oh, I wasn’t banished here like you, I found a way here. And I have a proposition for you…my dear Dazzlings.” Fafnir spoke as he was getting straight to the point. “We should work together, to achieve our objectives.” He spoke in wanting to offer a chance for them to work, side by side.

“Thanks, but we’re already working under one of the Three Lords of Equestria; Dark Curse of the Dark Mystics.” Adagio spoke off to say in that they are currently working with someone now.

“And he’s basically the guy who stands on top of the Superior from the Apocalypse Ponies. Hoo-ray,” Aria spoke off with a remote tone of not sounding all that caring over the issue.

“But as far as the worse villains go in Equestria, there is said to be none other but the Overlord King of Tartarus: Grimmore.” Sonata spoke off to say this stuff with a perky nature of her personality.

Then Aria & Adagio worriedly came up to clap Sonata’s mouth shut that caught her by surprise. As the two smarter girls look around, they glared at the puzzled ditzy girl of what she almost did.

“Are You Insane? You don’t ever, EVER speak lightly about the Demon God who could wipe out our existence with a blink of an eye.” Adagio snapped to scold her idiot friend for even trying to say something so stupid without thinking of the consequences to upset Grimmore for any funny business.

“I could imagine her being so clueless to do so. And even Dark Curse hates it when we bring up the subject of who’s above him.” Aria rolled her eyes to say in a non-caring tone while stating that Dark Curse really doesn’t want them speaking about Grimmore; which apparently Sonata miss that reminder.

“Relax, I’m working occasionally on my own and wanna work with you as well.” Fafnir spoke to ease this group with this little statement of his. “I can be…your Music Manager, every great band has one, you know.” He stated in giving them girls something to help out.

“Really; you manage us?” Sonata asked off in getting her mouth free to ask the question.

“For you, maybe. And just, what do we get out of it?” Aria remarked off to say while questioning this guy’s motive.

“We help each other. I help you get your powers up to full strength, and once we settle anything in this world, I’ll take us all back to Equestria.” Fafnir explained the case of how they settle things. “So, do we have a deal?” He asked in wanting the girls to agree.

The Dazzlings look to another, and slowly they began to smile in thinking it be nice to have another active ally on their side in helping to regain their power.

“Alright then, we’ll work together. After all, we’ve already gotten everyone under our spell.” Adagio stated to say this in what they’ve done so far.

“Do not be too sure about that, Adagio. I sense this is far from over. We may encounter some…’resistance’ in our course; But they shall fall, one…by…one.” Fafnir exclaimed to say that the Dazzlings do not have everyone under their spell, but that little resistance will meet an end shortly soon.

Now the group smiles evilly in seeing their new found alliance is formed; with Fafnir helping the Dazzlings, there would be nothing in this world to stop them now…

----------------------

The scene changes to where it was a library, a book was magically glowed to be taken out of its shelf. As we see that in the pony universe, the gang was inside the castle’s library portion in discussing what is currently going on.

“The way Sunset Shimmer described them…” Twilight spoke off to say while levitating a book from her shelf out. “I think these new girls sound an awful lot like…The Sirens.” As Twilight explain to her gathered friends and family by a table, she set the book down after announcing who the Dazzlings might be.

“NOT THE SIRENS!” Pinkie Pie yelled out in dramatical panic in not believing that was who has surface; much to the others’ surprise that this pink pony knows who the Sirens are. “I don’t actually know what that is.” She came to Fluttershy to whisper this to her in not having a clue who the Sirens are.

“No kidding, who are they anyway?” Phobos asked off in not having any idea who those Sirens even are.

“The Sirens were three beautiful, but dangerous creatures.” Twilight spoke to explain as she used her magic to turn the pages of a book, as it showed three what look like hippocampus of the three colors that fit the Dazzlings, Sonata of the left, Adagio on the middle top rock, and Aria on the right. “Who had the power to charm ponies with their music,” As she spoke, the Sirens sang their music that flown like green waves into the skies. “But to maintain this power, they had to feed off of the negatively and distrust of others.” The next page shows the Sirens moving around where the ponies of the past are, making them fight and argue. “The more this negative energy they consumed, the stronger their voices became.” As ponies fought, green cloud mist flow from them and into the Siren’s ruby gems. “And the farther they could spread their Dark Magic.” The Sirens moved about, making many ponies argue and pony, as these three moves about to spread their magic all around.

“I don’t think I like this story very much.” Fluttershy shook her head with worry as everyone was feeling like what they are hearing sounds very scary indeed.

“They almost sound like Cassie the Kelpie, but more evil!” Rarity stated in remembering an event almost like this.

“Right, compared ta her an’ these Sirens, at least she meant no real harm.” Applejack stated in knowing who was worse than the one they tangle with.

“And maybe their magic is almost similar to Siren Magic, like what Trix Lulamoon did that hypnotized her victims during the Brotherhood break out.” Rainbow Dash thought up about someone who can use magic similar to a Siren, but differently done.

“What happen next mommy?” Nyx asked her mother of what happens next in the story.

“It says; If the Sirens have their way, they would have divided & conquered all of Equestria. And allied with the great forces of evil of today; the Three Lords,” Twilight explained what could have happened in the past, that the Sirens would have divided all forces and weaken Equestria; leaving it right for conquest by the Three Lords of whom everyone is cautious about. “But a certain Star-Swirl the Bearded and his allies, Mystic Tao, Schemetrick & Navy Skills, weren’t having it.” The image shows the picture form of Star-Swirl and his mentioned allies stood up against the Sirens. “Rumor has it, Star-Swirl found a way to banish them to another world.” Next scene shows a swirling vortex where the Sirens were swept into that led to another world. “One where he believed their magic power would be lost.” After that told, the portal vanished with Star-Swirl and his allies having won and saved the day. “That world must be where our Canterlot High friends live.” After Twilight finished reading the book, she seems worried in realizing where the Sirens were sent to.

“But Star-Swell an’ those guys must have sent them there ages ago.” Applejack questioned the thought that came to mind about what’s happening now to a 1000 years ago, “How come their just surfacing now?” She didn’t follow, why were enemies from long ago just now resurfacing all of a sudden?

“I don’t know.” Twilight shook her head no in not having that answer. “But if my hunch is right…” She spoke about something while her horn glowed a bit. “And it is the Sirens who come to Canterlot High, this spell they cast is just the beginning.” She used her horn’s magic to turn back a page from Star-Swirl and his allies’ page back to the Siren’s showing of evil action and coming into power. “My friends need me; I have to get back to them.” She stated while closing the book and preparing to move now.

“But, you don’t have the magic mirror, Azure Phoenix took it away, remember darling?” Rarity pointed out a fact that happened to them recently; the Mystics took the Magic Mirror away since Twilight & Spike switch positions that one time of their adventure.

“Not exactly; we put in a fake magic mirror that looks like the other one while I hid the real one in a magic bag.” Ben smiled off to say that they didn’t lose the Magic Mirror; they gave a fake one to the Mystics and kept the real one hidden.

“Wow; that must have been some amazing craftsmanship to fool a Mystic’s eye!” Pinkie Pie spoke off in thinking that a stunt like that must have been good enough to fool even a Mystic’s eye view of an object without closer examination.

“But, won’t he notice it’s a fake?” Fluttershy asked in worry of what happens when the Mystics learn the truth.

“Hopefully not for a long, long, long time…and that’s hoping much so we avoid a Mystic Phoenix Temper.” Phobos spoke off to state the worse outcome, which no one wanted to hear.

“So now we have the magic mirror and can get back to the human world.” Nyx smiled in seeing that they can go and help their friends out.

“That’s good to hear, then we best get ready for our trip.” Twilight nods off to say in seeing this was a good thing, now to get ready.

“I hate to burst your bubble Twilight.” Rainbow Dash dashed up into the air and cut across Twilight from going anywhere with something to say. “But the connection between their world and Equestria will still be totally cut off for a super long time.” She spoke true about her own view of making sense of logic without all the technical brainy smart talk stuff; they aren’t connected to that world until 2.5 years have passed.

“Okay. First of all,” Pinkie Pie dashed up to scare Twilight & Dashie while looking serious to the two. “If there was bubble blowing on, why wasn’t I told about it?” She asked off in looking really lost about a subject that was kinda random to even ask at this time, “And secondly.” She held her left hoof to calmly begin the second subject. “If the connection is totally cut off, then how does Sunset Shimmer able to get a message to Twilight?” Pinkie was questing how if they aren’t connected from their two worlds, she pointed to Twilight in how Sunset even got her message sent by a magic book.

Thinking of that thought through her head, Twilight was also curious about that very same thing until…

“Huuuagh,” Twilight gasp with joy, as if the answer was so simple, it seem easy to have missed. “Pinkie…you’re a genius!” Twilight said this with happiness as she moved off from Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash after saying someone was a genius; surprisingly.

“Hugh?” Phobos raised an eyebrow in finding that was hard to think, possible, Pinkie, a genus; its crazy talk.

“Yeah, I get that a lot.” Pinkie Pie boasted with pride in being told she’s a genius when she says something that helps, “Now about them bubbles.” Then she grabs Dashie to get face to face to discuss about the bubble subject.

Now Twilight passes by Pinkie & Dashie while she had her magic levitate some mechanical stuff and do-dads. The others saw Twilight walk by them to see she was smiling with excitement. And soon they see a focus Twilight using her magic to make a few things go in certain directions as if building something that her smart brain is figuring out how to do.

“Ugh, Twilight…what are you doing?” Ben asked in seeing his love was doing something while lost in her process of thinking activity.

“You’ll see….just get the mirror ready, okay?” Twilight replied back while asking for Ben to get the mirror.

“Um, okay.” Ben slowly spoke in heading upstairs to find his bag that magically holds the mirror in question.

Then Twilight used her magic to pull out a little familiar necklace that held many of her Magical Guardians and put it around her neck.

“Mommy, you’re packing our Guardian pals for this trip?” Nyx asked off in seeing what her mother was doing.

“For extra help sweety, you never know when we might need them.” Twilight explained the case in knowing that if they run into trouble, it pays to come extra prepared. “Also, can you make sure I have my laptop…the one Rainbow gave me, I’ll use it to help communicate with them when need be.” She asked her daughter in wanting something else to be packed as well.

“Well okay, I’ll be right back.” Nyx responded and left to fetch the thing for her mother.

“Princess Twilight, we have some guests!” Fred’s voice is heard calling into the room with some news.

Twilight sighs in hearing that as everyone was puzzled, what other guests were showing up today?

“Can you ask them to come back later?” Twilight called out in wanting the guest to wait until another time when she’s not going to save another world in peril.

“We would, but these are important guests.” Barney’s voice stated to tell that these guests are kinda important.

Soon coming in was Fred & Barney, but they had some surprising guests coming along that surprised everyone; Flash Sentry, Sunset Shimmer from the human world now a resident in Equestria, Golden Heart, Pinkamena, King Sombra, Autumn Gem, Jack Zen, Omega, and more shocking was seeing three human friends of the ponies; Megan, Danny & Molly. That made everyone freeze in seeing that this was company to caught them off guard and with Ben having the Magic Mirror out, but on the plus side…it isn’t the Mystics stopping them.

“Hey you guys, surprise to see us?” Danny smiled to say in seeing the stump faces.

“Um, I think they actually are.” Molly slowly spoke in seeing what was going on here.

“Did we interrupt something?” Megan asked off in thinking something was wrong, what were these ponies doing when they came for a friendly visit?

“And what’s with the mirror?” King Sombra asks, noticing the mirror that Twilight is working on.

“Wait a second…that’s…that’s the Magic Mirror to my world; The human version of this world,” EG Sunset Shimmer exclaimed in seeing the very mirror that she came out of to be stuck in this world.

“But I thought that opens every 2.5 years.” Golden Heart questioned in seeing that the thing won’t be active at all.

“Not anymore I guess.” Autumn Gem said in amazement.

“Apparently, they seem to be going for the impossible to open it up.” Pinkamena stated in what they see was ponies trying to do something impossible.

“Alright guys, spill it…what’s going on?” Flash Sentry raised an eyebrow in liking to know what was happening here.

“Hugh, it’s a long story, but…Ben, can you tell them? I got my hooves full here?” Twilight sighs to say this, as she really didn’t have time with all the work she has to do.

“Right, sorry folks, I’ll give you the details of what’s happening.” Ben nods off to say to his love, he’ll inform them of what’s happening.

“We’re all ears.” Jack Zen stated to say that they are ready to hear what was going on here.

Soon after ten minutes, everyone that arrived has learned about the Sirens called the Dazzlings in another world version of Equestria that are stirring up trouble. And that while the others were trying to figure out how to get there, Twilight was inspired by what Pinkie said and began to work on something during the whole time. After a few minutes, something was slowly made to look some mechanical crane and electronic stuff and volt bolts with a holder chamber above it as there were battery packs and other equipment connected around to where wires are attached to the Magic Mirror that leads to another world.

“And the interval between the two points is defined as the square root of the sum of the squares of the separation between the points along three spatial dimensions.” Twilight was explaining the scientific matter of how this device was gonna work for them.

As Twilight finished to look at everyone in the room, pretty much everyone was kinda on the quiet, kneel head or raised eyebrows in showing blank expressions as they have NO IDEA what Twilight was talking about.

“Say what now?” Spike asked off in not figuring out anything that was said.

“Mind putting it in another way?” Sombra ask Twilight puzzled. “I am still new to this technology stuff you modern ponies spoke of.”

“Duh! She's gonna take the magic in here…” Pinkie Pie spoke off in sounding like she figured it out, and points to the book that sent Pony Sunset’s message. “And put it in there.” She pop near behind the mirror to state about getting the magic from the book and give it’s connection to the other human world version of Equestria for the mirror. “That'll make the portal open up so that whenever she wants to, she can go from here to there.” She dance around and tap the book with her nose, and then did a cartwheel motion. “There to here. Here to there. Here there! Here there! Here…” Now Pinkie Pie was popping up all over to state that Twilight can get from the book to be in the mirror for anyone to travel from their world to the next, and kept it up until…

“We get de idea!” Applejack cuts the pink pony off in ceasing the endless talking.

Seeing she was done, Pinkie set herself up to walk away from the mirror.

“Now to see if it actually works.” Twilight smiled to say this in coming near the magic mirror and test if this may work.

Now from Twilight’s magic, her magic aura covers the book and raises it up to be place on top of the device. Then suddenly, a bright magical glow came from it that shine it’s light over making a magical sphere with magical electronics. Then it burst to connect to the volt spikes which were feeding it energy that glowed and then sparkles a charge.

“Ooooh….” Everyone said in watching this display happen before them.

Then blinking lights were seen happening as the magical energy traveled down the wired path and into a battery unit that made another device become active. And that soon went down some rollers to make the magic look like fabric in a cloth making device. Then two sparks traveled from the wires into tower volts up to their ball points that glow light spheres. Then in an instant, they shot up to recreate a glowing sphere above, and Twilight seem to yelp with almost a worried look if this experiment will indeed work or not. But in the next instant, the magical sphere transferred down to the mirror, and recreated the portal vortex as it swirl around. But a bright light escaped it and then flash to blind Twilight and the others before it faded and…WHA-LAY! The Magic Mirror was now reactivated without waiting 2.5 years. Twilight smiled in seeing her calculations were right and look to everyone in the room that sees this.

“Ahhhhh…” Everyone in the room responded in sheer amazement that they see this was truly something to behold in what Twilight has truly done now was beyond anyone’s imagination.

“It worked!” Autumn Gem exclaims with a smile, “Amazing!”

“Technology has indeed become a wonder.” Sombra said with a chuckle. “I hate to see me get a hold of this if I was still bad…which I am not, thank Celestia!:

“Don’t suppose we could join ya ‘dis time around?” Applejack spoke up in pondering for thought that now they too can come with Twilight to visit the other world.

“Better not.” Twilight stated this with her kindest decline of such a request. “It could make things pretty confusing if Canterlot High all of a sudden had TWO of all of you.” She explained this that if any of the Mane Six’s five other members went, there’d be much confusion and panic of what was going on.

After taking a moment to ponder that, all the Mane Five members nod their heads in happily agreeing to that, they don’t want that, now do they?

“But I still get to go, right?” Spike spoke off in trying to sound extra important here. “There isn’t another one of me at Canterlot High. And you never know if you might need your trusty assistant.” He was speaking forth in wanting to come along and help Twilight out since there might not be another him there.

“Mh-hmm,” Twilight nods her head with a smile to the eager Spike, saying he can come.

“Yes!” Spike exclaimed with joy, he gets to go too.

“Well if Spike’s going, so am I!” Phobos stated to say that he shall also be going along.

“But what about the part of Dragons turning into dogs,” Ben pointed out that Dragons in that world are dogs.

“Right, you’ll be fluffy again.” Nyx nods in recalling what Phobos got turned into last time.

“Even so, you think I leave this group alone?” Phobos stated off that he won’t be missing out on this.

“Well…if you’re going, then I’ll go as well.” Megan spoke in stepping up in declaring that if her friends are going, then so is she.

“Megan?” Everyone in the room responded in hearing this, Megan was wanting to go too.

“But wait, that world changes us. If you go as a human to this other human world version, what if it changes you into some other creature?” Twilight stated in not knowing what would happen if Megan goes to such a place, she might turn into…for all she knows a pony in that world.

“It’s a risk I’m willing to take. A world of humans is endangered, and I wanna help out. It would almost be like if my own world was endangered.” Megan declared with a serious face in making her decision final. “And don’t worry; if serious trouble does come our way, while you may not have the Elements of Harmony on you…we have the new Rainbow Of Light to help us out.” She stated to show she has a secret weapon to aid them, the heart locket that contains a new version of the Rainbow of Light, it’ll work just like as if the Elements Of Harmony were there.

“She makes a good point, better to be extra safe than sorry.” Danny nods in agreeing what his sister said.

“Don’t worry, Megan has been through worse, we should know.” Molly stated that Megan will be okay if she goes.

“Okay….and thank you.” Twilight slowly gave in and smiled to thank Megan for wanting to help the ponies out.

“It’s what any friend would do for another.” Megan smiled to say this in how any friend should do for another.

Seeing what was going on, Golden Heart got his group into a group huddle to whisper something to each other.

“Sis, maybe we should go too and assist?” Goldie whispered this out to Pinkamena about what they should do.

“No can do brother of mine, we have our own versions there.” Pinkamena shook her head to state a reason why they can’t go.

“And while I would go, I am not sure how I would survive the trip.” Sombra said in concern, fearing that the trip there for him may not end well.

“Too bad we can’t send in Omega, bet he doesn’t have a double.” Jack Zen spoke off a bit loud for his group to hear this idea.

“Jack, you’re brilliant!” Goldie said to his pal in what he said there.

“I am?” Jack Zen repeated off in what he has heard.

“Omega, can you do us a favor, it’ll be risky, but this mission might be perfect up your alley.” Goldie spoke in wanting to give this bot a big task assignment to help out their pals.

“I await my orders.” Omega stated in willing to take on the challenge.

“Man, wait till Havis & Hikari hear about this when we get back.” Pinkamena smiled off to say in seeing this will be exciting.

“We won’t be gone long.” Twilight spoke this off to her friends as she wanted to insure this to those remaining behind. “Until then, I need some of you to stay here to cover for our absence. I get the funny feeling that Azure will find out about the mirror that he has is a fake an d will come by demanding answers.” She stated with worry in knowing how much trouble they might be in when they get back.

“Never fear princess, your best, toughest, smartest, best Royal Guards will help the Council.” Fred boldly spoke to insure the princess of friendship that the girl has nothing to fear.

“Ugh yep; I’ll just go and find the guys you said Fred, and then all will go smooth sailing.” Barney nods off to say as he was gonna go fetch those said guards when…Fred stopped him.

“I was talking about us, Barns. Get with the program!” Fred sternly scolds his link-headed partner to know that Fred meant them, they were Twilight’s best Royal guards; sheesh.

“Oh right! Us, I knew that. But ugh…how can we keep Mystic Ponies out and from snooping?” Barney yelped off in getting the idea, but was puzzled to ask how they can achieve such a feat.

“Easy, we use Plan Forty-Forty we pick up back when we were business clerks. They don’t have an appointment, no entry. We annoy them enough to give up and go home, heheh, works every time too.” Fred explained his plan in how he and Barney once learn a trick to get folks to wait and really get annoyed to leave; keeps out too many folks that don’t got appointments or how their boss wanted no disturbance.

“Hey, that’s a smart idea. And I heard that even respected Mystics like Azure & Tao, if they ask to see royalty, if they do not have an appointment, then they are being rude and must take the time to schedule one.” Barney smiled off to say in hearing the idea and that might actually keep the Mystics away to give Twilight and friends time.

“Sounds like a plan. We’ll even lead them on a wild goose chase with phony enemy sightings.” Danny nods to say in stating what else they can also do to stall for time.

“But till then, we’ll try anything else to hide the mirror and your whereabouts.” Molly insisted this to the others of what they shall do.

“Thank you all, this will be very helpful.” Twilight smiles at those that are gonna help them out so much.

The others gather near Twilight and her family for the Mane Five to give them a hug in wanting to wish this group good luck.

“And don’t forget to dress well.” Rarity insisted this message of what these guys should do.

Pinkie Pie squees from hugging the Sparkles the longest when everyone else let go and she smiles without a second thought.

“Twilight, when you get to the human world, please…take this.” EG Sunset Shimmer spoke to hand Twilight a strange CD disc. “It’s a CD message with my hopes to convince the Azure there that I’m okay, and that you & your group can be trusted. Trust me, show him this, and you’ll be okay.” She explained what was on the disc and to give it to one person on the other side that could help clear anything for distrust.

“Thank you Sunset,” Twilight replied off with a smile to thank this girl for her kind aid.

“Take care of yourself over there, bud.” Flash pats Ben to say in wishing him luck.

“You know it, I’ll say hi to your other self too.” Ben smiles to say this in what he’ll do.

“Ready, Spike? Everyone,” Twilight came near Spike, Ben, Nyx and Phobos in asking if they are ready.

Now Spike & Phobos were cracking their claws, blew out a breath then did leg warm-up movement before standing in position. “Ready!” The baby Dragons exclaimed in being ready to go at this now.

Everyone gets ready to head for the portal, but just then, some strange blur of weird dark magic of unknown origin is seen at the center crack, and those that were close sense it…and it practically gave them a fright.

“Did you all feel that?" Twilight asked to look at her family, as they slowly nod their heads; they felt something off that seem to be beyond the portal. "I sense that there's something dark over in the other world, like there exist another evil besides the Sirens. As if it were some old…ancient evil that's acting like it doesn't belong there.” Twilight explained it as a case that seems hard to figure out, like there is another enemy besides the Siren threat, but much older.

"I can sense it, too, Twiley. My mother or Aunt Luna would probably know more whatever this evil is.” Ben stated in thinking that his mother or aunt could tell them more of what they sense.

"I sure hope they do, Daddy. But they aren’t here, so how can we reach them?” Nyx replied off to say this while pondering what was gonna happen here if they don’t know what they are facing.

"Then you best ask us now." Celestia’s voice was heard across the distance.

Then coming into the room, everyone was surprised to see the Royal Sisters teleport inside.

"Celly, Luna, your here too," Megan spoke in seeing who came into the room now.

"Indeed, what is the meaning of this...and is that magic mirror, working?" Luna spoke to say while asking for an answer.

"Brother, do we really have time to explain things all over again?" Phobos groans to complain in what was going on here.

"Look, trouble is going on, and the Sirens are behind it in which they call themselves the Dazzlings now. So, can you let us help them?" Spike quickly was explaining the case as fast as he could before the Royal Sisters could say why.

Just then, that same evil energy of dark magic was seen again from the portal’s crack center, as it…calling out for anyone to come to it. Even the Royal Sisters felt that one….

"Oh no," Celestia spoke with a horrified look on her face in what...she felt. "It can't be!" She stated in having a bad feeling about what that was.

"What is it Mom? Do you sense this unknown evil too?" Ben asked in seeing his mother’s reaction.

"Tia...He's entered the human realm. But how did he manage it without the mirror?" Luna spoke in stating a subject to her sister.

"Who; who's entered the human realm, Princess Luna?" Twilight asked off in not being clued in about what’s going on.

Now everyone was focus around the Royal Sisters, seeing they know something and that they should talk.

"Hugh, I suppose we must inform you" Luna sighs in seeing that they must tell the others. The creature you are sensing, it's none other than Fafnir of Mount Thunderflame." She explained who was the one behind the strange dark magic they felt.

"F-F-Fafnir," Nyx shuttered a bit in sounding spooked out now. “As in the same…Fafnir that Brave Heart told us about?" She recalled Brave Heart told them of how bad that guy is.

"Yes…and I'm afraid that if he has entered the human realm and joined up with the Dazzlings…this will be far worse than anypony or anyone could possibly imagine." Celestia stated the worse outlook of the situation.

"Is Fafnir's that dangerous? Huh, well Mom?" Ben asked off in wanting to know the answer here.

"Yes…and he's far more dangerous than you know, Ben." Celestia forewarns her son of the three Fafnir possesses. "He attempted to conquer Equestria and make himself King many centuries ago." She explained the brief history of what this enemy is capable of.

"And worse…he sought to enslave many of the citizens of Equestria, especially Earth Ponies, who like Boris, believed that they were nothing more than filth, and must be treated far worse." Luna explained the case of how cruel Fafnir truly is with ponies.

"He tried to do what?! The same arrogant belief act that Boris lives by?" Ben asked off in not believing it, he’s hated that logic fact about Earth Ponies are filth by high folks, and now this guy is one of them types.

"That is correct, Ben." Celestia stated to say this over the issue itself. “And he has also gains his strength from ponies' sins. But since there aren't enough sinful ponies or beings around, he might have gone to the human realm to regain his powers, and plan his revenge on me and Luna." Celestia she explained of what actions Fafnir will go for in his quest to gain power. "If anything, he may almost rival one of the Three Lords you once battled in that world, should he have drawn enough sins from the creatures there." She stated that if Fafnir gets enough sins from those to give him power, he’ll be near the strength of when this group once fought the Superior in the human realm.

"We can't let that happen." Twilight protests to say this as an oath of what they shall do. “Fafnir mustn't gain that much power. With the Dazzlings by his side…he could…conquer both Equestria and the human world." If nothing is done, such an evil will lay waste to their world, and even the other world as well.

"That, Twilight, is why you, Ben, Nyx, Spike and Phobos must go into the human world and thwart Fafnir and the Dazzlings before they become too powerful to defeat." Luna informs this bunch of what task they must carry of that seems very heavy a burden. “And if the Mag'ne, gugh...Megan, wishes to go along, then her power from the Rainbow of Light can help out in some way." She cleared her throat in thinking that if Megan is with them, then they may also have something of a fighting chance as well.

"Don't worry, Aunt Luna. We'll stop them Dazzlings, especially Fafnir." Ben spoke in being serious of what they are gonna do now. "We've gotten plenty strong, so we'll make sure he don't have his way." He declared this as that after the last time they were in the human world, they have gotten stronger, so they won’t be so easy to push around much.

"I trust you my son. Good luck to you all." Celestia nods off to say this in wishing her son a safe journey.

“Use extreme caution, Twilight, Ben, Nyx, Spike and Phobos; for Fafnir is not to be underestimated, nor are the Dazzlings.” Luna said to the ones going in precaution.

“Okay every pony, let’s move it!” Twilight gave the order to her group that they are to move out here.

“Hello, I’s got me some books I originally returning back. Ye know, since I borrowed them pass them expiration date, an…hugh,” Tough Apple suddenly came in with a load of books in a cart he brought in as he explained…until he notice something going on afar in what the others are up to, “Wha in Granny’s Mane?” Tough asked off in what was going on with them fancy light works, blowy magic and other stuff; did he miss something or what?

Then without delay of anything else, the Sparkle Family were rushing off as Spike & Phobos jump through the mirror, followed by Twilight, Nyx & Ben while they brought anything for this travel. Megan gave a last farewell to her siblings before she too ran off into the portal as well with the Rainbow of Light locket around her neck to give her protection. The light faded from those that had entered the portal as everyone saw their friends have gone over to the other side.

Golden Heart’s grip watched that event happen, as he soon decided to play their own hand in insuring their friends’ safety.

“Okay then Omega, you know what you need to do, right?” Golden Heart asked off to say this to his mechanical friend.

“Affirmative; I know what I need to do, gather recordings, and/or catalogue their latest adventure and task while finding out what's going on in the EG world.” Omega reported off his program task of what he is to do on the other side.

“And also be very careful when you exit. Who knows what you will change into?” Pinkamena inform her robot pal of such a state that if ponies turn into humans, Dragons into dogs, then what it does to a mechanical creation is unknown. “For all I know, you might become one of those giant robots! Transformers are what they seem to be called. I believe that is the right name term.” She stated in what Omega might turn into upon his arrival, it’s a chance to be careful about.

Many of Goldie’s group nod in agreement for this robot to become in whatever happens, to be cautious of his new surroundings.

“And also, tell the EG me and EG Goldie we said ‘hello’ to them.” Pinkamena smiled off to say this with a perky smile on her face.

“And good luck.” Autumn Gem said to Omega gently.

Omega lightly nods his head before he turns on his jets and meted off pass the others and through the magic mirror that flash before them; as he was gone. The others look to Golden Heart’s group in what they have just done, but…

“We’ll explain later, but for now…Omega will help make sure they are safe.” Jack Zen insisted this to the others to be at else.

“Right, at least that should be it.” Sombra begins to say, until…

“Hey now; them pony bunch are gone off on another adventure without me tagging’ along!” Tough Apple stated in seeing his pals just went through a portal to who knows where it leads to. “What do I do? Go with them or stay? What do I do? WHAT DO I DOOOOO…I…woooh…” He was grabbing his head to hold it as he was running about asking the same thing over and over until…he trips over some books, “Waaaahhhh!” He was soon rolling across the floor and passes the others without them noticing until…too late.

Then Tough Apple had rolled his way into the portal where it flash and he was gone the next…off to another world.

“Tough Apple,” The others responded surprise in seeing who else showed up to the party.

“Okay….that wasn’t a part of the plan.” Golden Heart nervously responded in seeing what happened here, they weren’t expecting another member to go off.

“Now not only is it Twilight’s family & friend Megan, but Omega & Tough Apple are dragged into this. Will they be alright sister?” Luna asked froth in what Celestia thinks of this that has played out.

“We can only hope Luna, we can only hope so.” Celestia spoke off to say that for this time, they must hope that those that journey to another world will be successful and return back to them safely.

Now everything goes dark at this time, as we leave the world of the Pony World behind us…

------------

The scene changes to a different location at this time. And by different location, we mean the Human World version of the pony universe of Equestria. As we see Rarity was painting Fluttershy’s fingernails. Sunset Shimmer sat by the statue to look at her old book she wrote her message to. Golden Heart & Pinkamena were playing twenty-two questions with the Crusaders near the other side of the statue. Applejack & Pinkie Pie sat on the statue to play cards. AJ played out her hand with confident smile of four Aces; Pinkie Pie had a sneaky smile as she lay out four Jokers. The pink girl smiled with joy of her hand, but AJ kinda had an odd look at how anyone be proud they got four Jokers…especially since there aren’t four jokers in any card game. Rainbow Dash was holding her ball as she sat near Sunset who looked through her old book.

“Huuuagh,” Rainbow Dash sighs in looking a bit sadden. “I’m starting to think Twilight & her group is not coming.” She spoke in sorrow in thinking their help isn’t coming after all.

But then without warning, a magic portal glowed off the statue’s side near Rainbow Dash’s spot. Then without warning, something got shot out of it that was Twilight, Spike, Phobos, Ben & Nyx; that earn the attention of everyone that sat around. When the portal closed for a moment, the Mane Five, Crusaders, Goldie, Pinkamena and Sunset stood up to almost gasp of who was here.

“Twilight,” The Mane Five & Sunset cheered the name of the princess that has come back.

“Ben!” Golden Heart & Pinkamena cheered out the other name of who else was here too.

“Nyx,” Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle & Apple Bloom cheered for joy in seeing their old Crusader friend was here too.

They all ran over to greet their returned pals, as we se a struggling Twilight…who was now human again; and so was Ben & Nyx while Spike & Phobos were dogs.

“I’m back.” Twilight smiled to say in showing a sheepish smile of having return.

Then as Ben helped Nyx up, they and Twilight saw a hand offered to help the princess up. As Twilight, whose eyes stared at seeing Sunset Shimmer, the one from Equestria, was wanting to help her up. Twilight seem to hesitate a bit, as a second thought of worry about old memories from the last time they saw each other was from their last fight; Sunset also sense hesitation from her and felt worried if they were on a rocky edge of being okay with another. Sunset put on a little smile that was kinda a nervous one in hoping to not be left hanging and wanting to help out. Twilight finally gave in to let this Sunset help her to her feet, knowing that this one has changed…at least for the better she hopes. Both Twilight & Sunset Shimmer were kinda at an odds angle in what to say or do now, but…

“Ooooh Twilight!” That was cut short when Twilight got a hug from the Mane Five that were so happy to see their friend again, as Sunset steps back to let her friends be with the one they missed, and was…happy for them.

“Nyx,” Then Nyx got a good hug from her three Crusader pals that miss her too.

“Hey girls, I miss you too.” Nyx smiled in feeling the love of being missed.

“Hey Ben, how’s it going?” Golden Heart came up to welcome back the guy that helped them out.

“Good, I’m surprised to see you two here.” Ben replied off to say this to the golden boy.

“Well of course, who else was gonna be your welcome mat?” Pinkamena spoke off to say this as if it was a simply question to answer.

Once the hugging was over, did Twilight look to her friends with a serious expression.

“It’s good to see you all. And I got some bad news about those girls.” Twilight stated this off and of what she knows and has learned about the Dazzlings, and it isn’t pretty.

“Muuuaaah,” The Main Five kinda moan a bit in having a feeling they won’t like what they hear.

Suddenly, the portal near the statue became active again as it felt something else coming along. Course during that moment, everyone saw it to wonder who else was coming, only for Pinkie Pie & Pinkamena to respond with strange shaking motion.

“MOVE OUT OF THE WAY!” Both pink girls yelled out as loud as they can, as they began to flee much to the others feeling like they are not gonna like what’s coming from a Pinkie Sense warning.

Soon everyone gets out of the way, as two white sphere things were shot out of the portal that landed across the far left and right side. But the bigger concern was seeing….a metal-like hand popping out to reach out to someone. This worried the Canterlot High group in not knowing what was coming. And then it was soon shot forth by a massive steam from the entrance to go airborne, and then as it soar, it slowly fell down before landing on the ground which caused a minor shake around the vicinity. As the portal faded away, the clouds of dust clear for everyone to stare up at seeing what was now standing very, VERY tall before them.

“That was a hard landing to adjust to.” The giant robot spoke off to say, as its voice print seems to match…

“Omega,” Twilight spoke off surprised in knowing who that was.

“Woah…did he have a growths burp or what?” Spike spoke off to say in being surprised.

“Great, we get turn into dogs; he gets turn into a giant walking robot thing?” Phobos moans to complain in what they are seeing.

“I think he’s been turn into…those Transformers we’ve heard about are like alien robots.” Ben exclaimed from realizing that from machines with some form of intelligence can be turned into Transformers it seems.

Omega soon sees his metal hand and then sees the rest of him that has changed from a mechanical pony form into some alien robot that was almost a humanoid. He had a metal mouth-guard, he had two legs and arms with his hands, and he had his jetpacks along with his symbol. Omega scans his structure and the data was transmitting to his brain to determine what had happened to him, and that all of his weaponry and abilities seem intact too.

“The mistress was correct in her assumption. I have been transformed greatly due to the crossing of different worlds. I am now a giant metal robot sentient. Begin quick scan checks of other features & surroundings of this Omega unit.” Omega stated from what has become his transcended transformation into his new current state.

As the new Omega does so, Pinkamena & Golden Heart were staring at him in being astounded by what they are seeing.

“Wow! Hey Goldie, that’s gotta be the other Pinkamena’s Robot from Ponyville.” Pinkamena stated to her brother in knowing who this might be.

“I see it alright, and he’s a Transformer.” Goldie replied off to say this in having seen what they got here. “It’s a lucky thing for us that the world knows about the Autobots, so if anyone were to ask about him, we just state he’s one of the good guys.” He explained in what happens if anyone asks about Omega, they say he’s a good bot, not a bad one.

The Main Five & Crusaders, even Sunset were puzzled about what was going on as this was a bit too much to take in all at once.

“I will have to adapt to these changes for better adaption to my charge task objective.” Omega declared off in having finished his scan work of himself and the area.

“Wait, so you followed us all the way…” Twilight was about to ask why Omega came with them until…something came to her mind. “Wait, what about those other two lights? One of them was Megan?” She asked off in feeling worried now since Megan came with them.

“Over here Twilight.” Spoke a voice as Twilight’s grow turn to see…Megan; perfectly still human it seems. “I’m fine, and…I look the same. Sorta.” She said this in seeing that she was still the same it seems, or was she; she appear to have been transform into her younger self (note, think of her Gen 1 self).

“Hugh, guess the travel didn’t affect her as we thought.” Nyx stated in thinking nothing happened to Megan after all.

“Wha in Tarnation am I?” Spoke off another voice in sounding surprise at this time.

“Did that sound like…Tough Apple?” Spike asked in having heard the voice.

“It couldn’t be, could it?” Phobos shook off to say, but it might be…

Then we soon see the truth, as the other traveler with the Sparkle Family to this world was indeed Tough Apple. Only now, he was dressed in dark shade blue overalls that reach down to his ankles and straps over his shoulders, wore tan brown boots, and his usual fur color of purple was the same, as well as his mane color and style, only more of it was hair, and had a rough-rugged face with his shady blue eyes. Around his back was his banjo named Joe, still the same, and his pee-shooter but with a strange…new twist?

“It could.” Both Spike & Phobos stated in having saw it, it’s Tough Apple alright.

“Tough, you followed us too?” Ben asked to help his friend up from the ground.

“Well yah, I saw yah leave, decided ta come with’cha,” Tough spoke off in stating his own claims at this time. “Woah doggy, gotta admit, I look pretty darn tough. And my pee-shooter looks WAY better than before!” He looked to his new gun, and what a makeover it got from being an old farmer’s rifle. It was similar to a blaster, only purple-colored and an entirely grey barrel. It looks like its blast could be purple beam shoots that would really leave inflicted damage on any poor sap. The most obvious difference is the small rocket mounted on top. The actual rocket look like it shoot forward, jet upwards, and slam downwards to either the ground or the target which from its function, the laser sight will point on (if pointed on a wall or other similar object, the rocket will stick to it). When that happens, either immediately after or a few seconds after, the rocket will detonate, blanking one's sight in white, and destroying everything within a large radius. Afterwards, only a small mushroom cloud could be seen. “What’cha ye think?” He asked to aim his gun forward for the rest to see; bad idea.

“Woah, careful…that’s a Super Nova class Morph Gun you got.” Goldie yelps to panic in what dangerous weapon Tough was carrying, and it’s something to be sure.

“Whoops, he-he, sorry. Got too excited,” Tough sheepishly chuckled in seeing he has to be more careful.

“Is dat guy cousin Tough Apple sis?” Apple Bloom asked her sister of who that was.

“Might be, but he seems different from our own cousin.“ Applejack whispered back to her little sister in being unsure, but it’s probably a different person anyway.

“Um, darling, perhaps we can take our discussion to chat…elsewhere…before we attract the wrong attention?” Rarity asked with a nervous face in seeing that Twilight’s return can probably cause…a rather unpleasant attraction.

Twilight nods to that idea, as everyone begins to lead the new arrivals to follow this world’s residents. Course they all stopped and realized something they forgot, and it wasn’t something too SMALL to overlook.

“Um, exactly how will…Omega, is it…be able to tag along with us?” Sunset spoke in thinking they better do something about their giant robot friend towering over them.

“Yeah, just LOOK at him! The guy’s like 60 to 80 feet tall!” Rainbow Dash remarked out how they can move about with such a tall bot overshadowing them.

“Oh my, he is way too big to fit into any buildings where we’re going.” Fluttershy spoke i concern, that would be a problem alright.

“I am equipped with a solution.” Omega spoke, as he activated a function that right before the group…his body was shrinking downwards until he came close to the human height range while still looking robotic. “I am currently capable of new skills along with being able to become the size of a human.” He explained his feats of what he is capable of doing here.

“Yeah, but…you’ll still draw attention to yourself?” Scootaloo pointed out the drawback of folks noticing a bot, and that would earn the government’s eye.

“I am also equipped with a stealth tech function; I can appear and disappear, to be unseen.” Omega stated to activate the other function…to which he was here and gone; but he was near still.

“Wow, now that’s cool!” Sweetie Belle smiled in thinking that is a cool function to have and not be so big to attract attention.

“Okay, let’s get moving everyone. We have a lot to talk about…and a lot of introductions to do.” Ben issued in what they best do here.

With that much said, everyone was beginning their movement at this time…to leave the school to chat else’s where.

----------------------

The scene changes to the Sweet Shoppe, own by Mr. & Mrs. Cake, as everyone was hanging by a table, after having gotten comfy to know who the new folks were; Omega being robot made by the pony Pinkamena, Tough Apple being a better guy from where he learn to be not so angry, and even the ponies’ hero from long ago Megan, even Sunset has heard the stories of the Mag’ne. And Omega was staying by while in his human size and invisible cloak form self to stand by the rest while no one but this group knows he’s here. Now Pinkie Pie comes over with milkshakes in her hands.

“Oh, I do hate that you had to return at a time of crisis.” Rarity spoke off to say this about the situation and about Twilight and friends’ return. “There’s so much catching up to do!” Rarity smiled off all giggly of what to tell Twilight as she took her milkshake from Pinkie.

“Fer starters, a certain blue-haired guitar player was just askin’ about y’all.” Applejack smiled off to say this about who was asking for this bunch.

“Flash Sentry was asking about my mom?!” Nyx asked off to say while this news surprised Twilight to blush a bit in surprise by the sudden question.

“Isn’t that nice?” Phobos rolled his eyes to say as everyone looks at the group while Twilight sips her milkshake.

“Guys, I think she meant all of us.” Ben smiled to tell the group of what AJ meant of Flash asked for all of them, not just Twilight; he knows Ben and Twily aren’t lovers.

“Perhaps you would give us just a slightest bit of gossip from your world?” Rarity asked off to request while preparing to sip her tea cup.

“She’s got an official title now.” Spike spoke off to say in Fluttershy’s lap with a waving chewy bone. Then Phobos did a pretend trumpet horn play before ending it, “The Princess of Friendship!” Spike declared off in announcing this while being humble to bow to the new princess.

“Then that makes Ben, like…the Prince of Friendship too?” Goldie asked in thinking what that means for Ben Mare if Twilight has such a title.

“Wow, that’s really impressive.” Sunset smiles to nod in being impressed by what she’s heard. “Guess you really were Princess Celestia’s prized pupil.” She held her arm in slightly stating how Twilight was the better pupil than she was.

“She’s even got her own castle!” Spike spoke off to brag about what Twilight’s now got.

“Which we ALL live in,” Phobos bragged out in loving to tell these tales.

“A Castle; You have your own castle?!?” Rarity rams up to Twilight grab her arms to shout this while getting excited about the idea of a friend having her own castle, “Eh…Ohh, uh, lovely.” Then she got her senses back, saw she splitter Twilight’s shake on her shirt before using a hankie to clean it up.

“What’s new here?” Twilight asked off to start a new conversion. “I mean, besides your school becoming the target of dangerous magical creatures from Equestria?” Twilight shrug off to say that there must be something else going on besides new danger.

“Yeah, so, that isn’t the only strange thing that happened since you left.” Rainbow Dash slightly spoke off to say while getting her iPod out to punch a few buttons and showed it with a smile. And from the screen, images of Rainbow Dash suddenly transforming is seen while she’s rocking on her guitar. “Pretty sweet, huh? It happens to all of us when we play.” Rainbow said this to the stunned Twilight and friends, as she lied back in her chair to state this issue of how that transformation happens…to the Main Five at the table.

“Wow, dat sure is something.” Tough replied in never seeing that kinda show.

“Hmm; my crown was returned to Equestria, but some of its magic must have remained here at Canterlot High.” Twilight thought for a moment to assume that when she took back her crown to her world, some magic of it was left in this world. “Now that we’re all back together, we can use that magic on the sirens.” Twilight grip her hands in stating their plan to help them out. “Just like when we were able to use it on Sunset Shimmer when she turned into that horrifying awful winged monster!” Twilight was issuing this and made a little intimidation about what Susnet was; much to the others’ yelping worried expressions. That’s when Twilight herself realized what she just did just now. “No offense.” She turns to apologize to Sunset for having forgotten they were talking about the old evil Sunset from long ago.

“None taken,” Sunset went from blank look to pouting moment to lay her head in her arms over letting that slide. “Heh, I’m used to it.” She made a smile crack joke about getting used to being constantly reminded of her bad self of the past.

“It’s okay…as long as you know it and try to make amends, all can be well for you.” Megan pats Sunset on her shoulder to let her know that all can be better for her after realizing her mistake.

“Gee, being cheered up by the Mag’ne, hugh…maybe there is hope for me after all.” Sunset let off a little smile chuckle in having been helped out by the human of legends she’s heard since she was small from Celestia herself.

“They’ll never even know what hit ‘em!” Rainbow Dash stood up to pump up the moment of taking the Dazzlings down with their secret weapon, “Woh-yah! Woh-Ho! Wooh, We-yah,” She was making a few karate moves around the table here, “Ooooh. Yaaah,” She made a flying punch move, only for it to be stopped by AJ.

“We’ve got nothin’ ta worry about now that Twilight’s group is back.” Applejack smiled to put Dashie’s fist down in stating this good news to the group.

“Oh, I’m pretty sure I could find something to worry about. But it won’t be the sirens.” Fluttershy spoke in looking worried at the moment, but shook her head with a smile of cheer about that last thing she said.

“The sooner we do this, the better.” Twilight informs the gang here of what they do, hit the enemy hard and fast, “Any idea where the Dazzlings might be?” She looks to the group in asking if they know where the Dazzlings are right now; which Rarity and Sunset shrug off in not knowing. Then Twilight got a tap from Pinkie nearby, wanting her now to wave out then was finishing to sips her milk shake to sigh in relief.

“There’s a big party tonight for all the bands who signed up to be in the showcase!” Pinkie Pie explained this point to the group while holding her straw with chocolate milk shake on it. “That would include the Dazzlings.” She pointed her straw to Twilight in saying that is where the Dazzlings would be tonight.

Everyone looked around with smiles in learning of this info that would help them out so much.

“Looks like we’ve got a party to crash,” Twilight came to Pinkie Pie to sip the messy milk shake on her cheek off while making this sly party comment.

Pinkie Pie squees in delight to hear this, especially if it’s about parties.

“Then let’s get moving.” Pinkamena insisted as she stood up now, “Coming Omega?” She asked their hidden bot pal if he’s coming.

“I am.” Omega responded in a low tone while staying hidden from sight.

-------------------

Now everyone gets out of the Sweet Shoppe, and begins to walk down the street together, and Omega walked out with the crowd to not draw attention. Course as they were moving, they were unaware of some Black Op vans that were strangely tailing the group. In a few moments, the gang was going around another turn when one of them felt like they were being followed.

“Is it just me, or is that van or two following the same path we’re taking?” Nyx asked off in seeing that some vans were going the same pattern and never speeding up pass them.

“Maybe they need directions.” Tough Apple spoke off a thought that came to his mind.

“Vehicles seem to be following our movements intentionally; detecting strange unlicensed equipment. Solution; Unknown Hostile Threats,” Omega spoke from his hidden spot within the group that whoever is following them; they don’t seem friendly.

“Okay, well if they are following us, let’s see them follow us down this cut alley. Ready.” Rainbow Dash whispered to her group as they all nod and wait for the signal and… “NOW,” She yelled out for them to get going at top speed.

At that moment, the group took an alley corner that was just the right size for them. And at that moment, the black van stopped at that spot where those inside watch the group run away before picking up speed to follow them down another street as the gang was rushing to take a few turns in the alley to get ahead and away from who’s after them. And as they left the alley, the group went down another, and just as those same black vans appeared, but misses the group.

“Looks like ye were right, Dashie?” Applejack stated in seeing that someone is after them.

“Oh dear, what if they are bad people,” Fluttershy gasped in not liking the idea of bad people after them.

“Hugh-hugh, forget that….just keep running!” Golden Heart pants from the heavy breathing to give the group orders to move it.

Then suddenly without warning, a black van cuts off their opening to escape the alley. And then its slide door opens to which some dress Black Op guys wearing visors over their eyes and had on gas mask were seen coming out.

“Seize them!” One guy ordered as he appeared to be the ringleader of this military assault group. And soon the gang was up to their necks in trying to keep these unknown folks off of them.

“Ow, hey,” Apple Bloom yelps from one Black Op grabbing her wrist.

“Let go!” Scootaloo fights off the one that grabbed her hand.

“You’re hurting us!” Sweetie Belle complained in getting her arm squeezed by another black op guy.

“Ah, the nerve; Keep your hands off me, brutes!” Rarity complains to say in trying to fight her way out, but one foe almost greases her cheek from their gloves.

“HEY YOU; Get Yer Mitts off My Property,” Tough yelled out at them foes as he brought out his new Morph Gun, and took aim. “Powwfruvhmm…Bamgruvhmm…” Which luckily for the heroes, they ducked down when he fired that weapon as it blew up the blocking van before them backwards to be reduced to burning flames.

“He’s loaded with a lethal weapon!” One Black Op issued to warn the others in backing away from capturing this group; they were not expecting to face someone who was loaded.

“Tough, we discussed you shouldn’t fire that thing in public!” Goldie scolds his friend for the close shave there.

“Well wha I suppose ta do?” Tough Apple stated off that he couldn’t do nothing and watch, now could he.

Then without warning, the leader of the Black Ops took out a grenade and thrown it in the confusion. As the gang yelp, they got a surprise; it released steam clouds to cover the alley.

“Cough-cough, cough-cough-cough…” As everyone that didn’t have a gas mask on was inhaling the stuff and making them cough like crazy.

“It’s knock out gas. Cough-cough…” Megan spoke in stating what this was as she began to feel woozy.

“Can’t…stay…awake.” Ben spoke in feeling his eyes begin to close.

“Assistance,” Omega requested near the group in being unaffected by such tricks.

“No…stay in stealth mode…prepare to follow…Ome-gaah…” Pinkamena protest to order her bot to follow them from afar to help them out…before losing conscious.

Soon everyone was passed out from the knockout gas affecting them. Then as the stuff clears, only the Black Ops stood over the group.

“Shadow Dragon, report,” A voice spoke from an earpiece in one of the leader Black Ops who was revealed to be Shadow Dragon.

“We have the targets sir; they appear to have come with some resistance. So we used knockout gas to temporally cease their struggles.” Shadow Dragon informs Azure’s voice on the other line of what has occurred briefly.

“Get them out of there & back to our rendezvous before anymore civilians see your action from that loud ruckus.” Azure’s voice order out that he wants the situation under control before any media learn of this action.

“Understood, Dragon Strike Force Out!” Shadow Dragon reported back before ending his chat on the com-link.

Soon the Black Ops who were really Shadow Dragon’s team were slowly picking up the gang to put them all in the large van. Once done, they saw no one else left and drove off…unaware of Omega who walked off in silent motion before activating his stealth jets to have him fly off and follow after his captured friends under military grasp. But from nearby, someone watched from binoculars in seeing the action, and saw where the black vans were heading, some facility place and the one behind the binoculars was…this man.

“Dag gum, wha have them kids gotta into now?” Yep, it was Hobo Joe as he saw the action that happened right before his eyes before ducking out of there.

The scene goes dark as something very screwy is happening, and it doesn’t seem to be by the Dazzlings OR Fafnir. Looks like whatever’s going on, Twilight and her group’s return to help solve a problem, just turn into a HUGE mess.
