The next thing everyone knew, was that they were not in Twilight's castle anymore.

"So this is the arena..." Starlight said in amazement as everyone looked around.

From their point of view on top of the area, they stood on a large circular platform made up of different colored tiles with more length than Canterlot Castle. In the middle of the platform stood a tall tower with cycled colors between blue, white, and brown.

Above the arena, there were floating bleachers for the spectators. And as the Equestrian's looked up they saw that the sky was a variety of dark colors ranging from purple to black and blue.

"Guys! Look here!" Pinkie said from the edge of the arena.

Everyone but Spike, Discord and the alicorn sisters went to go look at what Pinkie was talking about, and they gasped when they looked over the ledge to see nothing but pitch black darkness.

"When someone is knocked off the fighting stage they lose and are teleported to the stands," Celestia explained. "Also, every universe has different gravity, so for fairness, this stage is enchanted to make everyone weigh the same as they did in their homeland."

Just then, other bright circles of light appeared one by one, and when the lights disappeared other creatures were revealed.

Twilight and the others looked at their surroundings to inspect the other universes’ fighters.

The interesting thing was that there were creatures walking on two legs in most of the other universes.

Discord explained in universes 2, 4, and 9, there were intelligent beings called humans that were more advanced in technology then they were. And Twilight, along with Starlight, was surprised to hear that even though universe 4 and 9 didn't have any magic, their technology was still more advanced.

Luna explained that Universe 3 was an underwater universe, and told that their fighters were underwater creatures save for two.

Finally, Celestia told everyone how Universe Six and Ten worked somewhat like their universe did, with Universe Six being a mirrored universe of theirs.

Twilight noticed that there was a group of ponies not too far away. She couldn't make how many there were and the different races, but she did think she got a glance at a reformed changeling in the mix.

When Thorax asked about the other universes, Celestia said how 1, 5, 8, and 12 weren't participating and were safe from getting erased. Then she went on to tell that Universe 11 was full of creatures that looked like everyday animals but had special powers.

Universe seven all glanced at the other universes who arrived, who seemed to be stretching and warming up a bit for the big tournament.

She then told that not every universe had Gods of Harmony and Chaos, which was mostly because they didn't have a being or leader powerful enough to stand out to actually be one.

Shining looked down at Spike, who was oddly quiet during everything and raised an eyebrow at his excited expression. At first, he thought the dragon was just excited about the fights, but he noticed he was staring at something in the distance. Being curious, Shining followed Spike's gaze and gasped.

Everyone heard his gasp and stared at him.

Cadence asked him if something was wrong.

He quietly pointed in a direction in response.

Then the rest of them were shocked to see what he gasped at and what Spike was excited about.

In one of the bright lights emerged some old faces most of them knew.

Chrysalis was the first one to notice them staring and smirked. King Sombra snarled at them while Tirek, only slightly taller than Celestia, huffed.

There were three changelings at Chrysalis's side with armor. They had blue eyes instead of the green ones Twilight and Spike saw back at the Gates of Tartarus. Also, under Chrysalis, sat three small cocoons with something inside of them that no one could make out. This made Thorax frown.

Behind the baddies stood that same changeling leader of the green-eyed changelings Spike faced. He glared at Universe Seven.

Everyone turned their heads to Spike. All of them, including Celestia, Luna, and even Discord, had guilty expressions.

"Spike..." Twilight started with sadness. "We're so sorry we didn't believe you..."

Spike didn't turn to them, he kept his insane smirk pointing towards Sombra and the other evil beings from their universe and started to laugh crazily. "Coming here was so worth it after all." He thought.

"I can't believe my eyes," Cadence said in shock and turned to Celestia. "If what Spike said was true... Why are they here, and on another team to be exact!"

Celestia narrowed her eyes at Universe 10's fighters. "It seems they have made a deal with another universe." She said. "Taking out their enemies—us—and surviving in the process."

The God Of Harmony and Chaos stood at the very back, a small alicorn colt and a tall dark alicorn stallion with spiky manes and tails. The colt looked guilty while the stallion patted his head before telling him something Universe 7 couldn't hear.

Before anyone else could make a comment, a white alicorn with a red mane and tail descended from a platform high up that no one noticed before. She landed next to Celestia and Luna and introduced herself. "I am Lauren Faust, your Universe's angel."

"Angels are higher gods. They live to make certain that the gods of their respective universes stay in check," Celestia said, before turning to her. "Nice to see you again, Lauren."

Lauren nodded. "Same to you, Celestia. I hope everyone's prepared and ready for the fight. I would like to ask the Gods to head off to the stands so we can start." She said before flying off to that platform high up.

Soon after they noticed that the other seven universes were present with there respective gods, someone... pretty young, Twilight thought, started speaking out to everyone from the highest floating platform above. The platform turned to be revealed to the fighters below, showing multiple thrones in a step-stair-like pattern. Two huge ones at the top, and then two rows of four below it, each marked with a number which Celestia quickly explained that showed which Universe's angel it was for.

"Everybody thanks for coming!"

Twilight and the others noticed that there wasn't only one of them, there were two. Two colorful aliens not even as tall as a mare.

Celestia explained the two were the most powerful beings in all 12 universes, both called Zeno, and they could wipe out everything and everyone in an instant. She explained they were dangerous because of their innocence mixed with their monstrous powers.

"We've been looking forward to this for a while now!" They said while doing some playful dance around their thrones. "Everybody please make it exciting for us!"

Twilight also noticed that their angel was sitting on the throne with the number seven above it. On Universe 2’s throne sat a tall being with a blue cloak on so all one could see was its glowing eyes (Image.) Universe 3 had a mermaid with a crown long black air and purple earings (image.) Universe 4 had a short-legged squirrel, elephant, cat, hippopotamus tetra-morph creature with an extendable, reptile-like tongue (Image.) Universe 5 had a white alicorn with red glasses and a beige mane (Image.) Universe 9 had a tall human male with a purple outfit including a mask (Image.) Universe 10 had a dark red alicorn mare with a rose mane, and Universe 11 had a four-legged deer-like white creature with a golden ring around its belly (Image.)

"Alright, everyone!" A different voice started, making everyone look up at the tall tower in the middle of the fighting stage to see a blue man with white hair and blue clothing. "Allow me to explain the rules of the Tournament of Power one last time, so everyone is aware."

Everyone stared at the man called the 'Grand Priest' as he spoke.

"This is an eighty fighter from eight universes battle royale. To win, one must knock their opponent off the arena. If someone is either knocked unconscious, collapses, or is seriously injured on the arena, you can simply drop them out of the arena in anyway shape or form, and those who are alive no matter how damaged are still considered safe. Killing is not allowed, and the time limit is 100 taks, (Luna explained that was also 48 Equestrian minutes.) The pillar at the center of the arena will descend as the 100 taks passes, reaching the floor when it's over. At the halfway point, 50 taks, the Fusion Necklaces of the Gods will be available to use. After the time limit is over, the team with the most members wins. Or, of course, one can win by being the last team standing." He finally finished. "The losing universes will be erased from existence. Good luck to all of you."

"Princess Celestia, what was that fusion thing the Grand Priest mentioned?" Starlight asked.

"To put it simply, Starlight," Celestia started to answer. "If two beings put on a Fusion Necklace, they will fuse into one entirely new being, with a new body and personality and more strength and magic than the sum of the fusion parts multiplied tens of times."

"That's... strong..." Starlight said. "If Twilight and I fused, what do you think could happen?" She asked.

"The fusion would probably be able to take my sister and I in battle by itself," Luna said calmly, despite some of the members of Universe 7 feeling overwhelmed. "It is a pretty powerful spell indeed."

"But it also means we'll lose a member of the team," Celestia said. "The fusion is powerful but does have some weaknesses in the tournament."

"How long does a fusion last?" Twilight asked.

"It's permanent," Celestia answered immediately. "We must go to the stands now," She then said. "Good luck to you all."

"And win." Discord begged before he and the alicorn sisters flew off.

Once the gods from the other universes were seated, the Grand Priest held his hand up.

"Fighters of every universe! Prepare yourselves!"

Everyone stiffened. Every universe was spaced out at the outer area of the arena.

"Let the Tournament of Power..."

It was quiet... Everyone looked at their opponents, all determined to win the tournament and get back to their home safely. All determined to save their loved ones and survive. They took their fighting stances and got ready to charge forward.

"Remember the plan, everyone." Starlight said quietly. "Stick together and use teamwork to win."

Applejack eyed Rainbow suspiciously, the rainbow-maned mare looking ready to fly away. "There's no use trying to keep Rainbow still..." Deep down, Applejack was worried this was going to be the last time she saw her friends. She thought about her little sister and her adorable smile, her older brother and his kindess. She thought about her granny and other all her other relatives, the family reunions that expressed the love their family carried. She was going to do her best to let her universe survive.

Rainbow was excited, but she couldn’t deny that she was nervous. She thought of her parents back home, all of her best friends, and her sister, Scootaloo. She couldn’t bare the thought of losing them.

Pinkie couldn’t help but think if last week’s party for Bon Bon’s birthday was going to be the last. The thought of it saddened her, but she brightened up knowing that which ever universe survived will still have their own parties somehow. She was as ready as can be for this fight.

Starlight looked at her teacher, who just stared at Spike. She worried for her. Spike insisted that he was far from his own self for what they’ve done to him, but Twilight wouldn’t hear none of it. Starlight knew that Twilight still had hope for getting her number one assistant back, and she herself hoped that it was leading her in the right direction.

Cadence and Shining had the Crystal Empire on their minds. Sunburst, Flurry Heart, the Crystal Cafe that served them free coffee and tea. They wanted to ensure their safety, to go home and embrace their foal and trot through their empire without a care, but they also knew they needed to ensure the other universes safety aswell.

Ember and Thorax could only plaster their species on their minds. The changelings and dragons they ruled over, how they knew every individual dragon and changeling name. It wasn’t just about being a species to them though, it was about being a huge family. Something that they could always turn to if they needed help. Something they could always rely on. They needed that. The way the dragons encouraged Ember before she left, and they way the changelings didn’t want Thorax to endanger himself. They weren’t a dragon hoard or a changeling hive from living solo, they were many combined into one.

After a painful silence, the Grand Priest brought his hand down. "...begin!"

Instantly, the fighters sprinted towards the middle of the arena and started clashing.

A lot of punches were being thrown left and right between different fighters. Powerful blasts of different types and colors were being thrown anywhere one could see.

"Wooooah!" The Zeno sitting on the left throne exclaimed.

"Wooooah!" The other Zeno copied.

The two Zenos watched in amazement as bright lights reflected off of their eyes. They stared as many fighters all around threw punches, kicks, and special atttacks at each other.

"Oh! I almost forgot!" The Grand Priest said. "Zeno, I have something for you!"

He gave the two small aliens a tablet with a white frame, golden edges and a touch screen.

"What is this?" The right Zeno asked.

"It's a GodPad." The Grand Priest answered. "It will help you see the list of fighters and allows you to check off any fighters that are eliminated."

"Yay!" They cheered.

"Also, they can tell you the Power Levels of any fighter you want. I hope you enjoy it." He said.

"Cool!" They yelled.

Up top on the spectator seats, the Gods of Harmony and Chaos looked down in nervousness.

"This is more than I imagined." Luna put out.

Celestia didn't reply. Instead, she looked down at her own fighters, and wished them good luck.

A small yellow mouse named Pikachu shot electricity out its cheeks.

A small kid with a Tinfoil Helmet and cape named Professor Chaos shot a yellow blast of concentrated chaos.

King Sombra shot out a black beam of dark magic.

A small floating fairy with pink swirly hair named Wanda shot a blast of magic out of her wand.

Universe 7, which, by the way, none of their team members moved yet, observed the blinding flashes.

"They're really going at it," Pinkie noted.

"Indeed," Thorax said.

Behind the group, Rainbow Dash stood low to the group and slowly walked away, before flapping her wings and flying off.

Starlight felt the wind coming from her wings and turned towards her flying form, which was getting smaller. "Rainbow?!"

"I knew it..." Applejack said with a frown.

Ember rolled her eyes and flapped her own wings, flying off in a different direction before Starlight could stop her.

Pinkie giggled. "Wait up, Dash!" She yelled before zipping away.

Spike chuckled to himself, resulting in Twilight to look at him and notice some of his green fire around his body.

She knew what that was and tried to stop him. "Spike, wait!"

But he already teleported, and she followed suit.

Starlight was in disbelief. "What happened to the plan?!" She asked/yelled at no one in particular.

Discord growled in irritation. "Those idiots! Why can't they just follow a simple plan?"

"Like you always do?" Luna remarked sarcastically.

"We can only believe in them." Celestia told. "Universe 7 is in their hooves now."

"Don't worry, Starlight," Thorax said. "We knew it was inevitable anyway."

"He's right." Applejack said. "But we can still win this! All we can do is hope they can all last out there. What we gotta do is hold our own ground as much as we can." She explained to them.

"Yeah!" Shining said. "We just have to use our strengths and come out on top with the most team members."

"What do we have to use though?" Cadence asked.

"Well..." Starlight raised a hoof to her chin. "Shining has his shields, Thorax can transform, Applejack has her strength, and Cadence and I have our powerful magic."

"I got it!" Applejack said happily. "Everyone listen closely..."

As the Tournament of Power finally starts, the members of Universe 7 begin to lose coordination. With the battle to decide which universe will survive a tough one, will this be a terrible mistake?

Which members from each universe will fall next, and which universes will be erased?

There are only 47 minutes until the end of the tournament!

Author's Notes:

Most people won't know or understand which fighters are who and what they look like, so I decided to make a list of all of them down here. Please take in mind I don't remember much from some other shows that I watched, and if I haven't used your favorites it either means I haven't watched it or deemed it popular enough to use.
