The portal opens up me and the rest made our way through it stopping a few feet away from the portal. I got out and close the portal once everyone came through. Spike rubs his neck from the mark of the swamp symbol on the side of his neck. “Are you alright?” Twilight asks him over the radio.

“I’m alright it just the mark on the side of my neck feels off to me.” Spike answers her. The mark on the side of his neck begins to glow. A vine came through the portal before I could close it. The vine came to Spike and looking strange at him. The vine releases a seed on his right hand making his hand glow green.

The vine when back to the portal and I had a chance to close the portal. Looking at the Swamp key and thought to myself “Two, Seven to go.” We sent back to shop for our next move and repairs to the vehicles.

After a few hours of fixing the cars, we made our way to a club on the old New York track back in the days of racing in these worlds those years ago. “So who is this Duke character we are going to see at this club?” AJ asks me. “He an old friend of my, that is also in hiding with a new name.” I answer her over the radio. “Let me guess he used to be on the old team?” She asks me again. “He when by a different name back in those days. Frank is what I used to know him, before the attack and be disappeared under this new name so that me or the Reds can find him.” I told them over. We pull in front of the club and when inside. The place was jumping with people dancing around and drinks everywhere. The music was definitely techno and remixes of pop songs. Lights were like it would like some of the clubs back on Earth with blues, greens, and purple. Signs on the DJ table and nearby areas of the dance floor with the name of Frank’s new name. After a few moments, Frank take a break to get a drink at the bar. I came along sild of him.

“Scotch on the rocks.” I told the bartender. Duke looks over to the side of me. “James Cribb, I never suspected man like you to drink.” He told me turning to face me. “It looks like you’re going to need my help again?” Duke asks me. “Yes I do, we need talk later where it’s safe. To feel you in on the details.” I told him. “After the club close for the night. We can talk then. Now try and enjoy yourself.” My old friend told me patting on the back making me spill some of the drink on the table. He when back to the work at the DJ table.

Twilight and the others were at a nearby booth drinking some ciders. I look over at them and grab my drink and when to the booth where they are. “So how it go?” Rarity asks me. I sit down next to Pinky Pie on the outside on the far side putting my drink on the table.

“Good, we have to wait until the club close tonight.” I told them have a ship some of my drink. Grabbing something from a pocket that looks like a cigar I put in my mouth and take a deep breath a red light lights up on the other end of it. I take it from my mouth and release the breath and smoke follow at the same time.

“I never knew people of this world smoke?” Twilight asks me. “You look shock?” I answer her with a question. “Yes I am, I didn’t know you smoke?” She asks me. “This is not what you think its smoke and ash. It’s vapor smoke from a vapor cigar. That from my world and I bring it to this world.” I answer her question, putting the cigar back in a mouth to take another drag of the cigar.

Pinky was being quiet for a moment drinking her cider which was non-alcoholic. She felt her stomach cramping up. “I’ll be right back.” She the others and left to the restroom that was on the other side of club. When she got there and when to a nearby stale and she puke into the toilet. She felt like she was being kicked in the gut and she felt the room spinning. “I never felt like that before until after the next day after a hard night of drinking with the girls back home.” She said to herself. Just then the door to the restroom opens up. “Pinky, are you alright?” Said one of her friends. “Fluttershy is that you?” Pinky asks through the stale door. “Yes it is.” She said out loud. Pinky got up and flushes the toilet walk out the sink to wash her face out a little. Fluttershy sees what she doing. “Are you sure are you alright?” She asks her friend. “Yes I think so.” Pinky told her while putting her hand at her hand at her stomach. “If I thought to myself she could be pregnant.” Fluttershy thought to herself. They left the restroom and head back to the others at the booth.

Rainbow and Applejack was good and drunk dancing at the dance floor. Duke was working is magic on the stage with the turntable. I was finishing my drink at the booth with Rarity and Twilight when Pinky and Fluttershy came back. Pinky sit back down and try to finish her drink. She looks at everyone else having a good time on the dance floor and left the booth to join the group down on the floor. Duke got on the mic and said out loud. “Are we having a nice time out there tonight?” The crowd screams and cheered out on the dance floor and inside the club by raising their glasses. “We take you to 2012, you might know this one.” He sides over the cheering crowd before hitting play on the turntable. The crowd when nuts and dance like if the world was ending. Pinky knows this song back home. When work with a couple of DJ unicorns on one of their songs. The lyrics were a little off to her ears. She really like and starting to dance to the music with the rest of the crowd, then she sees Rainbow and Applejack kissing in the corner of the dance floor.

“I never thought they had feeling for each other.” She thought to herself. As she was thinking that she bumps into some guy. “Hey watch it!” The rude guy told Pinky. “Sorry about I was lost in my thought.” She told him. “Sorry, no we don’t that here!” He shouted at her making go a little nutty. “Alright, how do you want to do this?” He asks him. “A dance-off.” He told her. Rainbow opens her eyes and broke away from the kiss with AJ came by to help her friend at her time of need. Applejack follows her to what pinkel Pinky got herself into this time. Twilight, Rarity, and Fluttershy also came down on the dance floor on Pinky’s side for the dance off.

Duke looks up at the crowd and sees what going on and got on the mic. “Alright folks, it looks like we have a dance-off between two groups of six.”

At that point, I got up from the booth and see what going on Duke was talking about on stage. “What’s going on?” Spike asks me. “I find out soon enough.” I answer him leaving the booth. I walk to a balcony overseeing the dance floor. I was seeing the girls about to have a dance-off with one of the best dance group of the nine worlds. Everyone clear the floor except the two groups. Duke put down the mic and changes the music for the dance off.

The posters were the first to start things off by lunching to a few moves until the music bass kick in and going full force with their movements. Moving out from the edge taking the whole dance floor circling the girls in the middle. This made the girls go into their own dance moves to fight off the guys to the other side of the floor and when back to their side. The floor when dark for a second then lights on the guy's clothes came on and which Duke rise his right hand to the crowd and the music was winding up for a bass drop. He drops his hand on the table and the bass drop changing the music. The posters when back at the girls lighting up the dance floor with every move they made. The girls came lighting their side of them with their cutie mark colors and symbols which made the crowd go wide for them. The girls toke up the whole floor with each one doing their whole moves. Pinky was moving around with all her mite and killing on the floor. Light’s was showing pink, blue, and yellows and her party canon was showing in a hologram and fire it at the posters.

Applejack was next doing siding on the floor change it to and dancing kicking up hologram dirt out there. She jumps down with back in the air and an apple tree came from the hologram ground and kick it letting apples fall on the floor and the posters.

Rarity came on the floor next spinning around and lunching hologram gems at them and post for the crowd and purple and white fireworks when off behind her.

Rainbow rolled on the dance floor like if she was roller skates with a hologram rainbow behind her changing the lights the floor to look like clouds. Jumping down on the dance floor lunching her iconic sonic rain-boom on the ground turning into a hologram hitting the posters. Rainbow moves out of the way to let Twilight do her magic on the floor. She moves on the dance floor doing her moves and letting the hologram magic build up in her hands and lunch it at the posters. Fluttershy was the last to do her moves she was shy at first and let the music do the moving for her and let go. Hologram animals dance with her and lunch at the posters. Then the music stops in the tracks when Fluttershy when back to the girls.

Duke got back on the mic. “I think we have a winner here folks, don’t you think so?” The crowd when crazy for the girls. “I have to give this mate, to the girls.” The posters when back to the crowd and left the club. While the crowd cheerers for the girls I was right I was right I when it started with a smile on my face.

I when back to the bar to get myself another drink and when back to the booth where Spike finished off his third drink in of a few moments. “Spike its best to pace yourself.” I told him. “I know how to hold my drink.” He told in his drunken state of mind. I knew that his far too drunk to even drive on his bike back to the shop. “He is going to one hell of a hangover in the morning.” I thought to myself.

The girls walk back the booth seeing me and spike there. “You miss one hell of a dance-off out there.” Rainbow told us. “Spike was the only one that misses it.” I told her and the others. “Where were you?” She asks me. “I on the balcony overlooking the dance floor.” Answering her question. “Well, then I need a drink after that.” Rainbow said out loud. “Same here.” Twilight said. Everyone orders another round of drinks. Pinky’s drink was still non-alcoholic. After a few hours of drinking and partying throughout the night. Everyone but me and Pinky was drunk and pass out at the booth. Duke got on the mic for one last time for the night. “Alright, folks that are it for me tonight. I letting the next DJ take over for the next song.” He turns off the mic and got off the stage to meet up with me and the others.

Duke sees that nearly everyone was drunk and pass out at the booth. I was drunk just not as bad as them I was wasn’t going as hard as they are with theirs. “So what bring you to my club and who are they, which they have some killer moves out there on the floor tonight?”Duke asks me. “You see they are not from this world like we are and I need help getting them home. Do you remember Danny back in those days when we used to be Silencers?” I ask him. “Yes I do. Why do you ask? He asks me. “He’s on board trying to get them home and he can’t drive. You and me are the last ones can help them by getting the elements. We already have two of them.” I tell him the story.

“Wait a minute you have gotten two out of nine of the elements and you didn’t asks me to come with you to get them.” Duke tells me looking a little cross about it. “Now I was in hiding and I didn’t know that you and Danny were still alive.” I told him without waking the girls and Spike. “All that I’m asking is your help and I know that you miss the thrill of driving at high speeds and putting those Reds in their place.” I tells him. “Alright I’m in. You do know how to push my buttons. Just give me a few minutes to get ready.” He told me. “Yelp, it going to be few moments to get everyone up and get them silver up so they can drive back to the shop.” I told him.

After a few minutes of getting everyone of else up and sliver up an enough to drive back to the shop. We made our way to the cars and when the cool air hit their faces, it made them want to punk out their gusts. Pinky was the only one that wasn’t drunk but she was tired from party throughout the night. I was the least drunk of the rest of them and cool air also made me sick to my stomach a little just not enough to punk my gusts out. I hear an engine starting up in the alleyway next to the club. I see a white car with a back spoiler and eight-speaker of the back of the car. The driver side window rolled down and I see Duke is inside. “What are we waiting for?” He asks me through the window. After everyone else gets a hold of them self we got inside the cars and made our way back to the shop without any problems. After we made our way back to the shop everyone when off to bed sleep off the booze that they had. “I know one thing they are going to get one hell of a hangover in the morning.” I thought to myself turning in for the night.

Later that night Spike was having a nightmare about Equestria. A city overgrew with vines and monsters that were on the swamp planet hiding deep within the city itself. Then a person he has never seen before appeared right next to him overlooking the city. “Luna is that you?” He asks the person. The person didn’t talk to him and show him what needs to be seen. They when through a shop window and seeing something that scares that living daylights out of him. Ponies’ hiding from what has happened to this city and look over to his right shoulder sees two ponies landing in the center of the city. One of them looks like Princess Luna and the other looks like Queen Chrysalis. From out of nowhere a giant mosquito sweeps down and attacks Luna. Spike was a ghost and only sees what is happening in front of him. The person finally said something. “Get the rest of the elements and get back the piece of Omega to have both your world before it too late.” The person disappeared out of site and he finally woke up in a cold sweat. It takes him a few minutes to see that is hand and the mark on the side of his neck was glowing. After a few moments, the glowing when away and turn on the light next to his bed. “That was one weird dream.” He said out loud with a pounding headache from what happened last night at the club.

Here is the 18^th Chapter in the story so far.
