The next day, it was a beautiful day with a sun shining. The birds were out chirping, the folks were out walking, and the grass was moving to the wind blowing. There were lots of animals out playing, leaping and jumping about, and many bugs out buzzing and zooming.

And today was a new day for Tox, Echo, Flash, and the Shadowbolts. All of them currently were asleep, and twitching in their dream lands. Indigo was lying herself on Lemon's back, Sugarcoat was sleeping on her back like a vampire, and Sunny and Sour were sleeping on rough dirt. The only ones that were up were Tox, Flash, and Echo. And so while they were still asleep, a yellow aura surrounded each one of them, and they were being levitated over near some water. Tox then waited for a moment, and then he tossed them all into the water which woke them up.

Eventually they all swam back onto the beach and got themselves dry. "What was that for!?" Sour yelled. "That was so you all would get up. I tried nudging you and I yelled. Apparently you're all heavy sleepers."

The five of them then got back up and got themselves dry. "I don't know why, I feel really weird." Lemon stated.

"How so?" Tox asked.

"I feel like my body went through a transformation, like we've taken on a different form of animal."

"Actually you did Lemon."

"Oh, well that explains the hooves. Wait, why do I have hooves!?" Indigo yelled realizing what has happened.

"Really? You're only now noticing this?" Tox rhetorically asked.

All five of them froze their faces in shock and in terrified news, all screamed loudly so hard that glass shattered all over town, birds flew from their nests and even ponies fell down in shock.

"Uh-- You can stop now. No, you're all fine." Tox tried saying over their screaming, but they still kept going.

One Eternal Hour Later

Flash raised a hoof to a metaphorical watch on his supposed wrist, and then placed it back down on the dirt before saying "One hour, that's a new record."

Tox grew tired of them screaming and so he threw them all into a lake again. "GET A HOLD OF YOURSELVES!"

And once again, the five of them walked out of the water and were once calm again. "Okay, sorry, its just gonna take a bit of time to get used to this." Sunny replied.

"Just don't do that again. But now that we've gotten that out of the way, lets see what we go here. We've got, four pegasi, two earth ponies, and two unicorns. We should be good. Now, we're gonna go into Ponyville, and I'd advise, we all stay together and don't do anything that will grab attention. Okay?"

Everyone gave a nod and they soon began trotting along the dirt. After looking at some of the sights, they then walked into Ponyville and kept an eye out for anything odd or suspicious. And while they kept walking they soon began asking questions on things they were never taught.

"Hey uh, dude, something I got to ask. What's with the tattoo on the side of your butt?" Lemon asked.

"Oh that's the cutie mark."

"*snicker*, what?" Came from Lemon trying her hardest not to laugh.

"I know how girly this sounds, but basically, its a symbol that represents your calling in life, and your special talents. For example-" Tox then turned to a side to show his cutie mark. "-mine means my specialization in magic" he finished showing the now golden and blue Alicorn Amulet shaped emblem with diamonds surrounding it.

"But why- *snicker* is it placed right over on the side of your butt? It looks like you got bad tattoo placement!" Lemon tried asking but that just resulted in her laughing hard along with Indigo, while Sugarcoat, Sunny, and Sour had straight faces looking unamused. "You do realize we all tattoos on our posteriors as well? So technically we all have butt tattoos" Sugarcoat asked.

Eventually, the two of them stopped laughing and noticed their cutie marks as well, and stopped in silence. So after their pointless laughing the group walked over a bridge and stood outside the town of Ponyville, facing the citizens go on their daily lives. "Okay, we need to move quick. We'll split into groups to cover ground, and use the earpieces to stay in contact with one another. Sunny, Indigo, Echo, you're all together. Go to the east side of town."

The three pegasi then left and went that direction. "Sugarcoat and Sour, you head to the west part of town." With that, Sugarcoat and Sour trotted off. "And Lemon, Flash, you're with me. We're going to see Princess Twilight."

"Wait, Princess, Twilight?"

"Twilight in this world is a princess, where as in your world she was a meek, shy, and small student that you all liked to pick on for no reason."

Lemon immediately blushed at that last comment before saying "Do you really need to mention that to, Princess? This doesn't have to be told to her, does it?"

"No, it doesn't. I'm just explaining who this world's Twilight is."

After that, Tox, Flash, and Lemon trotted along looking around Ponyville, while getting a few stares as they saw the sight of three new ponies coming into town. Luckily for Tox, he had disguised himself as a unicorn so he wouldn't get attention from his wings, however the arm, the eyepatch and ears did get some odd looks from ponies. But it didn't bother him much, the only thing bothering him now was Lemon having learned to use her magic and cranked up her headset at a volume normally reserved for movie theater sound commercials.

"Lemon turn that down. Lemon turn that down. LEMON TURN THAT DOWN!" Finally got Lemon's attention and she paused the music. "Dude, what?"

"You need to focus right now, we've got a mission right now and many lives are at stake." Flash spoke.

"Sorry, its just... Forget it."

"Lemon, I know you've got a reason, why don't you just tell me."

Lemon and Tox stopped near a water fountain and both sat on the ledge, while Flash kept his eye out for anything or anypony, and Lemon began to tell her story. "I always kept my music loud because it reminds me of my mom. She was a rock and roll player back in the old days, and she got me hooked onto heavy metal when I was a little kid. And as a birthday gift, she gave me this headset that I always carried with me 24/7. But, ever since she died, I... I never let this baby leave my side. I always kept this with me because it reminded me of the good times I had with her." A tear came down Lemon's face, but Tox wiped it away with his metal talon on his prosthetic hoof. "Oh Lemon, I didn't know, I'm... I'm so sorry."

"Its okay. You didn't know."

"But wait, if that's the reason you carry that with you, why don't you tell people, maybe then they wouldn't get so mad."

"I tried, people always thought that was just so I wouldn't have to listen to them. And now that I think of it, it does happen that I don't listen to them. I just, never realized how rude I'm being with these..."

Tox gave her a smile, and hugged her tightly to let her know she's not alone. "You aren't rude Lemon, you're just misunderstood. Like all of you are." Lemon accepted the hug and wrapped her hooves around Tox's giving him a hug as well, and they both backed off. "You know, when I was trying to hug you?"

"Yeah?"

"It feels so weird with hooves!" Lemon laughed.

"I know Lemon, but hey, you won't be stuck like that for that long. I promise. But for now lets just keep moving and-- Oh my god, don't look!"

"What?" Lemon asked before looking.

"I said don't look!"

All three of their eyes were facing down on the concrete rocks they were sitting on, and away from the direction Tox asked not to look at.

"Why are we looking at the concrete?" Flash asked.

"Because Princess Celestia is with Twilight! That's not good!"

"Princess, Celestia?" Lemon asked.

"Long story short, she's the ruler of Equestria who raises the sun, and is not one to be trifled or messed with. Ugh, but I still need to talk to Twilight. *sigh*, guess we're gonna have to face them either way. Come on, lets go."

Princess Twilight and Princess Celestia were standing outside of the castle doors talking about what Twilight had seen last night. Zecora and Starlight were also with her, as they were trying to figure the odd source of what had crashed from the night before.

"And you say this mysterious object came from outer space?" Celestia kindly asked.

"Yes, but there are a little bit of clues that don't add up." Then Twilight used her magic to levitate bits of clues that she had picked up from the crash, including some oil, a few nails, and some droplets of acid. Zecora got a closer look at the material and gave her remarks. "The black puddle is stuff of oil, a part for machines like a Tesla coil. The second item is a nail I see, the bit had fallen from a prosthetic knee. The final clue is not from a bomb dud, but is the liquid of acid-"

"Blood." Tox finished. Suddenly all 8 of their eyes turned to see Toxigo standing along with Lemon Zest and Flash Sentry. "That liquid you are observing, Zecora is my own blood. I leaked acid blood from the crash, luckily there wasn't a whole lot of a blood that had been lost."

"Wait, who are you? And how do you have acid for blood?" Twilight asked, but then turned her attention towards Flash. "Flash? I thought you were in Canterlot, why are you here?"

"Uh, Twilight? I'm not the Flash you think I am."

"Wait, you-"

"Yeah I came here. Oh, wait, I better let him talk first, he's got something important to say. Go ahead." Flash responded facing Tox who was waiting.

"Thank you, Flash. My name is Toxigo, Princess. And the reason I have acid in my veins is because being one Element of Toxicity means I am immune to anything that's toxic, and having acid blood gives me a defense mechanism if anyone tries to hurt me." Tox then turned his head to face Zecora once more. "Zecora, I'm surprised you haven't figured out what has happened to a certain device you've had hidden away?"

"What is the device you speak about, and the safety of you that I'm starting to doubt?"

"I'm talking about a certain Amulet used by one Trixie Lulamoon who used it to try and gain control of Ponyville, but failed due to Twilight having her friends and allies by her side. Smart thinking I must say, Princess." Tox answered with a hint of complimenting.

"The Alicorn Amulet? But that's hidden away."

"Is it Twilight, is it?" Then in a puff of green and yellow smoke, the Amulet now shown still in its yellow and blue coloration instead of dark black and red, appeared around his neck. "This little baby was actually a gift from my mother, something that I had demanded to be hidden by a store owner, but I can see that had let to chaos, so now, this bad boy is staying with me at all times."

"What do you mean it was a gift from your mother?" Celestia asked.

"Oh right, I forgot. My mother was an alicorn princess, and my father was a dark overlord who tried to takeover the Crystal Empire. But, talking about my past isn't why I've come, plus doing so has been wasting my time, and I've been giving a bad impression about me. Right now, I need your help. Any help I get can, I need it."

"Why would we trust you? After you stole a very dangerous Amulet no less?" Twilight asked with a bit of anger.

"Twilight please, I need help. Shimmer-cakes is in danger and its my fault for her getting in trouble to begin with!"

"Shimmer-cakes? What does that... wait a minute. You mean Sunset Shimmer?"

Flash and Tox gave a confirming nod, and Twilight talked some more. "Why is Sunset in danger and why do you call her Shimmer-cakes?"

"Because of my stupidity of giving up magic to make wishes come true, that's given the Queen Chrysalis enough power to try and take over once again and she's made her way into the dimension she resides in and she's planning on using her as leverage to try and take over the world. Starting with the entire city of Canterlot."

Celestia, Twilight, Zecora, and Starlight all gave a gasp in shock, but Celestia turned to see several ponies staring at them, and asked them to go into the castle to discuss what is going on. Tox then explained he was the mystery pony living in the human world, the fact that the Dazzlings are now teaming up with Queen Chrysalis and that he is to blame for the Queen having that much power. Flash also explained how he brought in him, and the Shadowbolts to give him help on the mission, as well as the fact he was able to use magic because of the Amulet.

"If I could take back my wishes I would, but I can't. And if I didn't make wishes I still would be dead by the bullies living in that world. I know its a lot to ask from all of you, and you don't have to say yes. But understand, I need your help, and I.. I miss Sunset. I don't want anything to happen to her, and if anything does, its my fault. Please, I'm... I'm begging you here."

Everyone was silent for the time being that they were taking in the information that they were just told. Twilight was conflicted with herself on what to do. On one hoof, she should be mad that he did something so stupid, but on the other hoof he wanted to repay his mistakes and get Sunset back unharmed. Celestia however, had her focus on Tox himself, who's voice clearly shown he was shaken up and scared for what might happen to her. And so with a comforting wing wrapped around Tox, Celestia lowered herself to face Tox's one eye to give him comfort. "Do not worry. We will find Sunset, and we will get her back unharmed. And I am truly sorry for everything that has happened to you before. But I assure you now, we will help you."

Tox gave a smile and both of them hugged. "Thank you, Princess Celestia." Both broke off from the hug, and faced everyone. "So, Twilight. Are you in?" Tox asked, and Twilight gave a smile and nod confirming a yes. "Okay, well if we're going to find them, we're gonna need to round up everyone. I'll see about calling in the Shadowbolts."

Tox then fired a beam from his horn showing a holographic screen showing the front of Echo Dash who had on her Rainbow Dash skin suit. "Echo Dash, where are you?"

"Wait, that's Rainbow Dash. Why did you call her Echo?"

"I'll explain that later Twilight." Flash responded.

"Anyways, Echo where are you?"

"I am with the pony equivalents to Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Rainbow Dash."

"Where are the Shadowbolts?" Tox asked.

"They're all with us. A little tied up at the moment, but they're with us."

"Define tied up, Echo."

"Tied up. To bind, fasten, or attach with a cord, string, or the like, drawn together and knotted." Echo then gestured her head to the left to move the supposed screen, and Tox turned the screen view towards them and it showed Pinkie, Applejack, Rarity all facing them tied up and looking unamused, and Fluttershy was still hiding behind Applejack during that. "Echo, care to explain to me why they're all tied up?"

"Disobedience of your orders specifying not to attract attention and not to cause trouble resulted in them being tied up." The screen then turned back to Echo Dash, and then Rainbow Dash appeared to the side. "Echo here explained why she didn't attack us and said something about wanting our help. Wait, who are you?" Rainbow finally saw she was talking to an unknown person, but she saw Twilight standing with him. "Hey Twilight, who are those guys with you?"

"Rainbow, just get over here with everyone. And that includes...." Twilight forgot who the others that were with them, until Tox spoke up. "Echo and the Shadowbolts."

"And that includes Echo and the Shadowbolts. We'll see you soon."

"Okay Twilight. We'll be there soon."

After hanging up, Tox then banged his head against the door in frustration. "One job, one stinkin job, and that was to not attract attention or cause trouble, how is that hard to do!?"
