*Conference Room, ALRIGHT Corporation; Los Santos; San Andreas; October 16, 2018; 1:30 PM*

Alex and Yang shuffled uncomfortably amongst their friends (and two enemies, give or take), as several stared accusingly at them.

"Way to go, sparky." Yang sarcastically whispered.

"Hell if I know what happened! I didn't even..!" Alex whisper-yelled back.

"Do you think we should see someone about that..?" Yang wondered.

"Can we stop talking? I'm not sure if anyone can hear us whispering, but-"

"We can, you fool." Ultimus scowled.

"You're really f**kin' bad at whispering." Vanoss added.

"S-Shut the f**k up." Cade groaned uncomfortably.

As for Everyone else, they were fast asleep, including one of the new huntresses.

The auburn-haired one elbowed the other until she woke up screaming in terror.

"DEAR OUM WHY?!" The Faunus screamed.

Alex held his head in his hands, reaching for the cup of E-Cola to wake him up long enough for him to deal with everyone.

"May we move on to more serious matters now?" Celestia asked tiredly.

"Yeah, I'm with you there." Alex nodded.

"Thank Salem, it's over." Neo sighed in relief.

"Okay, so... Cinder's back and Morning Star is still at large.. That's a thing." Kat muttered.

"That's putting it a bit lightly, especially since Cinder's a f**king god, Morning Star probably has more demons she can send at us, and then there's still other inquisitors." Liss noted.

"Something tells me the Gravity Spikes, Apothicon Sword, and the f**king Siegfried Gauntlet isn't enough." Vanoss shook his head.

"'Kay, guess we're getting more shit." Moo shrugged.

"What type of artifacts are you guys even searching for?" Twilight gaped.

"Like Evan said, we've been killing Ricky Tofen and his friends for their shit, including this weird golden testicle thing." Wildcat explained, holding up a golden sphere adorned with ancient symbols and overflowing with souls.

"Wait, how did you find a Summoning Key?!" Luna gasped.

"Ricky Tofen." Delirious added.

"It's GODDAMN RICHTOFEN!!" Lui yelled.

"Who..?" Fluttershy asked.

"Oh, Edward Richtofen.. So it's you guys who've been killing off a whole bunch of them." Liss noticed.

"Is that a crime?" Vanoss asked.

"I'll let it slide." Liss nodded.

"Bitchin'" Delirious smirked under his mask.

"Okay.. So how are we doing this?" Skirmish asked politely.

"I'm heading back to ask Vinyl for an upgrade on my gear. After that, I'll find Canis and ask him if he knows how I can get stronger. The rest of you can do as you please." Alex explained.

"I'm coming with you." Yang insisted.

"Yeah, take your special fun-times far away from civilization, if you'd please." Kat face-palmed.

"Okay, I'll find Uncle Qrow and ask him to help me get ready for whatever happens next!" Ruby noted.

"I'll look for Winter." Weiss added.

"I'll look for people who have connections to the White Fang, maybe they'll know where Morning Star and the other Inquisitors are." Blake decided.

"What about you, asshole?" Vanoss asked Ultimus.

"I'm going back to Adenien. To let my family know that Saigo is alive. Don't watch your back, Emphas trash." Ultimus scowled.

"Before all else. Cade, Yang, and Kat. We need your Elements. It's too risky having the elements away from Equestria." Celestia asked.

All three threw back their elements to the Princesses, who nodded their thanks.

"Wait..! We have something to say..!" The black and white haired Faunus yelled suddenly.

Cade himself looked at the other huntress, the one with brownish-blonde hair, with a sense of familiarity.

"Okay." Alex nodded.

"N-Neo.. This isn't easy to say, but..." The Faunus began shakily.

"She's your daughter from a parallel future, her name's Oreonna!" Pinkie yelled.

"What?! How the hell did you know that?!" The Faunus, Oreonna, gaped.

"I knew too.. You look exactly like my daughter back at home.." Neo commented with a smile.

"Right, but what about Pinkie?" Oreonna asked curiously.

"Take my advice and don't ask how Pinkie functions, we don't talk about the last guy who tried that stunt." Alex rolled his eyes as he took a sip of E-Cola.

"Poor Stephen Hawking.." Twilight shook her head mournfully.

"Okay, and what about you?" Yang asked, pointing to her.

"That's Auburn, my older sister.." Cade explained.

Alex spit out his drink and gagged.

"Why the f**k didn't you tell me you had a sister?!" Alex coughed.

"I thought you knew already!" Cade defended.

"No!" Alex yelled back.

Vanoss and his friends threw their heads back in laughter.

"Yang, you might want to check yourself out!" Vanoss hollered.

"We didn't go that far, you f**k!!!" Alex and Yang both yelled.

"Okay, Jesus! Relax!" Vanoss defended.

"This is quite a lot to take in at once.." Alex took another sip.

"Besides, Alex isn't my biological father." Auburn said in a monotone voice.

Alex spat out his drink again.

"YANG WHAT THE SHIT?!" Alex yelled.

"Calm down! It wasn't mom's fault!" Cade defended.

"This is the very definition of 'dysfunctional'." Ultimus noted.

"It's kinda like a train wreck." Nogla said as the Walker/ Xiao Long family continued to bicker back and forth.

Long story short, Vanoss and his friends were to collect more weapons and artifacts, Ruby, Weiss, and Blake were to train and/or find help, Twilight and the other Elements would find new bearers for the Elements of Harmony. Finally, Alex and his family, were to get some more gear and train.

Oreonna insisted on going with Auburn and Cade since they were all friends in their dimension.

"Please, mom! We work way better as a team!" Oreonna had begged.

After an eternity of more argument, Neo let her go with begrudgingly.

And with that, the five headed off to the nearest Public Dimensional Gateway with Twilight, Pinkie, Fluttershy, and the Princesses to Equestria.

*Ponyville, Equestria; October 16, 2018; 5:15 PM*

Alex, Yang, Cade, and Auburn were walking up to the front door of Vinyl's house, having recently arrived with the Elements in Ponyville.

Alex insisted on moving quick, but TSA agents at LS International was a royal pain, keeping in mind they were still armed. Alex and Yang in particular had it bad since their limbs were mechanical.

"So, who is this again?" Cade asked.

"This is Vinyl, she's a friend of mine to say the least." Alex replied.

"Don't you remember Aunt V?" Auburn asked Cade.

"Shut up, Auburn." Cade rolled his eyes.

Alex knocked on the door three times and turned back to face Yang.

"Alex..?" Yang asked.

"Listen, I kinda need you to do something for me, okay?" Alex asked.

"Sure.." Yang nervously answered.

"I need you to read this cover-to-cover. I don't care when, just read it." Alex ordered, handing her the 'Predictions and Prophecies book.

"Got ya! I'll have this done by tomorrow!" Yang nodded.

Vinyl carefully opened the door, carefully eyeing the five huntsmen and huntresses over carefully.

"Holy buck, Alex?" Vinyl smiled.

"Hi, Vinyl. Can we come in?" Alex asked.

Vinyl snickered to herself.

"What's so funny?!" Alex indignantly asked.

"Daamn, boy! Puberty hit you like a bass drop! You sound almost like a raspy, badass Mr. Cake!" Vinyl noted.

"God dammit." Alex groaned.

"Wait, she's right!" Oreonna laughed.

"All of you shut up." Alex scowled.

"Aw, c'mon, Alex! We were just playin' with you! We'll kiss and make up later!" Yang slugged him in the arm.

"If this ends up like last time, I'm abstaining." Alex furrowed his eyebrows.

"So, who are you three?" Vinyl asked.

"Vinyl, This is Cade and Auburn, my... Our.. Children from the future." Alex shook his head.

"Oh, really? Cool." Vinyl shrugged.

"Wait, what?" Alex gaped.

"Yeah, Pinkie told me about how Alpha time-travelled to kill you, so I assumed other people can do it too." Vinyl explained.

"Oh, that makes sense." Yang noted.

"And this is Auburn and Cade's friend, Oreonna." Alex nodded to the Faunus.

"What is good in the 'hood?" Oreonna smiled.

"Okay, so I'm guessing you're not here just to talk.." Vinyl smirked.

"Of course. We need some upgrades to our gear." Alex stated.

Vinyl led the four of them down to her and Skirmish's shared basement, the ex-Scratchbolt home base.

And, dear god, it was beautiful.

Back-lit machine guns hung on walls, several prototypes for new Bass Cannons were piled at a corner, and another wall was lined with Iron Man-like weapons and gear. But on a small, alabaster pedestal was a ball of condensed purple energy contained in a metal cylinder.

"So, should I start writing down your wish-list now?" Vinyl asked.

Author's Notes:

I chose the worst possible name for this chapter.

Anyways, sorry about the wait! I just got done with this chapter yesterday, and I'm getting started on the next Arc.

To be honest, I wasn't sure about who I really want to be the main antagonist for the next Arc, deciding between about 4 villains planned.

Take care and happy reading!
