The next day at Canterlot High, everyone continued to attend their classes as normal and proceed on with their homework. But there was something wrong that had occurred to Principal Celestia and Vice-Principal Luna. There have been no signs of Sunset, Twilight, Pinkie, Applejack, Rainbow, Rarity, Fluttershy, or Toxigo. It wasn't like for almost all of them to be late for class, so they knew they had to do something. They called their parents but they said that they never came home which got them worried. So they decided to try another option, they called up the five Shadowbolt girls to go try and check up on them. So the five girls being Lemon, Sugarcoat, Sunny, Sour, and Indigo all walked together house to house trying to find out as to what has happened to them, but none of them got an answer. But there was one house they hadn't hit yet, and that was Toxy's. So they made an agreement to walk on down to Toxy's Temple of Doom.

"You really think he wouldn't come back to school from yesterday?" Sugarcoat replied.

"You don't know, and I don't know, maybe he didn't really accept our apology. And quite frankly, I still wouldn't blame him." Indigo replied.

"But how do you know where he lives?" Sunny asked.

"I know because in the few months we actually dated each other, I knew he liked Japanese styled architecture, and if he had the option to have his own house, I'm sure he would have a house in the...." Indigo didn't finish her sentence, because what caught her eye made her stop.

They all had made it Toxigo's home, but just from the huge amount of damage on the front, they could tell a great battle had taken place over at it. There were large holes in the house, debris floating in the swamp water, and electricity sparks coming from the lights.

"Whoa dude... what happened here?" Lemon asked.

"Looks like either something got loose, or something tried getting in and caused destruction." Sugarcoat responded.

So they tried walking their way into the house but they also encountered a bunch of more broken debris and they all tried to avoid anything that would be falling, and also watching their steps in giant holes and broken floorboards. After they walked downstairs they found Toxigo lying on the ground, looking beat up, and with his mechanical arm ripped off with the circuits still sizzling. Indigo then crouched down and helped Toxigo off the ground. "Tox? Tox? You alright?" Indigo asked get rid of some more debris.

"Do you think he's okay!?" Sour yelled in worry.

Tox's yellow eye then opened up but winced slightly at the light shining from the hole in the roof, and he pulled himself up. "Z-Zappy?"

"Oh my god! Are you okay?"

"No... I'm not. I just got attacked yesterday."

"Well what happened?"

"The Dazzlings, they attacked me, and... they destroyed my warriors. They've all been obliterated. But one thing's for sure...the Dazzlings weren't alone."

"How so?" Sunny asked, clearing off more debris.

Tox then stood back up and attempted to get a drink while also explaining his situation. "Someone posed as Sunset Shimmer to make an attack to trick me into letting them in, following which she attacked me, obliterated my warriors, and left.  And I overheard everything, they kidnapped Sunset, Twilight, and the others."

"Well what do we do?" Sunny asked.

"I don't know Flare, I... I don't know. Worse thing is I know who led them. It was Queen Chrysalis, queen of the changelings. They take on the form of the person or pony you love and they feed off your love for them. And there's no doubt she'll double cross the Dazzlings because they feed off of hate, and love and hatred don't blend well together."

"Is that another one of those magical creatures that exists in that world where the giant killer plants reside?" Sugarcoat asked.

"Yes Sugarcoat. As crazy as it sounds, they're from the same world."

"I didn't say it was crazy. After our encounter with the plants at the Friendship Games, I'll just about believe anything. Even if you tell me that Bigfoot exists, aliens probed you, or even if you were possessed by a ghost and made you black out and you wake up in the ruins of a drunken midnight party."

Everyone gave an awkward stare towards Sugarcoat at that last response.

"Well what are we doing here standing around for? Wasting time for an evil succubus to try and take over?" Sour sourly said.

Sour picked Tox's synthetic arm right off the floor and set it on the counter, and Tox moved into a position where the circuits would reconnect with magic, and thus his arm got connected once more. But they all stopped after hearing a strange clatter noise.

"Dah! What was that?" Indigo asked.

"Its probably just more of my house falling apart Zappy."

But another clattering sound appeared followed by a smash.

"Or on the other hand, someone has been listening to our entire conversation." Sunny sounding scared replied.

Sunny was right, for someone was inside the house with them. So to defend themselves, they all grabbed kitchen knives out of a wooden drawer and Tox transformed his mechanical arm into a cannon weapon. They listened in again and found where the source was coming from, and it was coming from the garage. So they proceeded to walk on over to the garage after the door to it fell forward and looked to see where it was coming from. Fortunately, they found the source which was hiding behind a giant stack of boxes.

"Who keeps piles of boxes around? Seriously?" Sunny groaned.

"Hey, don't you complain about my boxes! I like boxes!" Tox yelled back.

Their eyes then turned back towards the boxes and could see a shadow of a figure hiding behind it, but the question was, who is it? The small group creeped their way forward for a few steps but still kept their eyes out for anything that may jump at them.

"Alright, whoever you are, come out now, and we won't kill you!" Sour Sweet yelled.

"Yes because I'm sure that will get him or her to exit out." Sugarcoat complained.

"Girls, not now. Alright just... if you're not a Dazzling or a changeling, I suggest you show yourself." Tox replied. The group kept holding their weapons waiting for action, but as the figure revealed herself...

"I am Dash. Built to protect those who cannot protect themselves."

The figured revealed herself to be a robot. She had bronze titanium skin, orange glowing eyes, and apocalyptic styled rainbow hair, but what scared almost everyone, was that she, even though was a robot, was naked. Everyone then screamed "AHHH!!!!"

"SHE'S NAKED! AHH!!!!"

In a bit of a flash, Indigo threw a towel towards the supposed naked robot, and she wrapped herself in it to make them more comfortable in talking to her.

"So, wait a minute, you're the android that we all met back in the Friendship Games redo, and the double we met back at Canterlot High?" Sunny asked.

"That is correct Sunny Flare. I was given orders to arrive there to see how my creator was doing."

"And may I ask, who built you?" Tox asked raising a brow.

"Creator is identified as Prince Toxigo Paralysis. Creation date, 4/6/2015. You tried to build me so you could have your own personal friend, but you didn't have much luck. But you never gave up on building me, you kept me together and wouldn't give up until you found an essential power unit that could work without me shutting down. That was a bit of help from your creation of the Alternate Universe Adagio Dazzle. She gave me orders to arrive at the arena where your Friendship Games rematch would be occuring, and to help protect you from any attacks. But as of yesterday, all of the magic that you gave up to create wishes now resides inside the soul of Queen Chrysalis."

Tox then stopped in place after hearing what she had just said. "No... No, it can't be. I'm the reason she's become powerful?"

Dash gave a sad nod responding to yes, but then spoke up again. "Yes, But there is some good news here. She cannot handle too much of the magic. If she absorbs any more magic, her heart will go on the verge of an explosion, and will weaken her fighting, which should allow you time to try and lay a hand on her."

"What makes you so sure Dash? What makes you think I can defeat her?"

The android Dash paused for a moment, and then gave a response. "Because you are Prince Toxigo, you've faced the Queen before, and she has never been able to destroy you. And while I may not have a heart, I do have a brain. And I know you can stop her." Dash finished giving a smile. Tox then gave a hug to the android Dash, who gave a pat on his back with her titanium arms. "Thank you, Dash. However, I'm going to need a moment, this is a little much to take in."

Dash gave a nod, and everyone waited around for a moment, until Sugarcoat spoke. "You seem to be handling this news pretty well. Very, unrealistically, well."

"I've seen exploding birds, two of the High School Musicals, Epic Movie, Michael Bay's Pearl Harbor, and more of the worst things all of humanity has made and done. This pales in comparison. But if she is making a move, we need to move now."

"Not a problem. I've managed to rig a tiny listening device onto the Queen herself. And based on numerous amounts of checks, she hasn't figured out the device is on her yet. But I have heard her say she plans on making a striking attack on Canterlot in one week."

"Then we have no time to lose. First, we need to get you clothes, Second, we let everyone at CHS know they might need to evacuate the area in case of a possible invasion, or see about rounding allies. Third, we suit up, load up, and head to Equestria. Now, lets go!"

Dash then got herself dressed in the outfit she wore the day before and headed out with the Shadow Six and students. And while they were walking, they began a conversation.

"You know since we know that double is an android, I'm going to need a new name for her. Any ideas?" Tox asked.

"Robo Dash?" Lemon asked.

"No."

"Dashatron?" Sour replied.

"No."

"The Dashinator?" Sunny asked.

"No."

"Rainbowwave?" Sugarcoat asked.

"No, no, no. It needs to be something simple, something that says what she is. Lets see, she's got bronze skin, her voice echos because of the vocoder in her throat-"

"Echo."

"What did you say?" Tox asked.

"Echo. My name, is Echo Dash."

"Alright, Echo Dash, Shadow Five, lets go!"

They all arrived at Canterlot High School and prepared to make their plan....
