Poor Tsuyu, she was still horrible saddened by Nobunaga’s apparent rejection to at least talk things over. Then again it was understandable why he refused at all.

“The poor dear.” said Rarity “Never have I seen anyone so… so…”

“Heart-stalled.” said Cadance “That’s as close as you can get to a broken heart in a situation like this.”

Inuyasha sighed, “Look this isn’t helping anyone at all. We can’t reason with him, he won’t talk to us and that it. It’s better to just let it go.”

For once, everyone agreed with him, not that they approved of his being overly blunt.

Tsuyu wiped the tears from her eyes and apologized to everyone, “I am sorry, sorry for everything I put you all through. I suppose you needn’t worry of me anymore.”

“Princess…” said Kagome, but Tsuyu shook her head. “I will try, and I will be brave, and in time perhaps the pain will go away.”

That’s when her husband came from the palace, having finished the negotiations, and heard everything, and he felt sorry for his wife, but was pleased she was willing to try and forget, to help her move on.

With all that said and done, there was really no reason for Inuyasha and company to stick around. They also still had an experiment to try.

“I guess this is goodbye then…” said Rainbow Dash.

The other ponies bowed to the royal couple, and Inuyasha and friends did as well before leaving the village, confident no one would go after them again.

Soon they all set off on their way to the well to conduct the experiment.

“Do you really think it’s smart leaving them to fend for themselves?” asked Shippo.

Myoga hopped onto his shoulder, “Your feelings are healthy, Shippo, but we cannot simply look after the royal couple forever. They must be free to fend for themselves, and we must carry on our own quests.”

“Indeed so,” agreed Miroku “Our quest to find and defeat Naraku requires much hardship and we cannot allow ourselves to be sidetracked for too long.”

“Then I suppose our first move now is to transfer the ponies to Kagome’s time.” said Sango “Hopefully they can some way back to their own world from there.”

The ponies all felt anxious if their experiment would work, and they really hoped to be getting back home to Equestria very soon.

Still, all four of them seemed silent.

“Is everything okay?” asked Kagome.

Rarity tried to find the right words to say, “Well… it’s just… what I mean is--”

Princess Luna then spoke, “Although we have known each other a very short while, we are still grateful to you all for helping us, or we would surely have perished within your world.”

“It’s no big deal,” said Inuyasha “We’re just used to this way of living. It’s how we’ve always been.”

“Yeah, we kinda figured that.” muttered Rainbow “But, what if this plan of ours doesn’t work? What if we pass through the well and we end up in some other world, or what if something worse happens.”

Rarity and Cadance gasped softly, realizing she was right. For all they knew, they could possibly wind up lost forever, and then they’d never get home again.

Soon they all arrived at the well, and just stared at it. The ponies were still very skeptical about this, even Kagome felt nervous. “You know, you don’t ALL have to try this.” she suggested.

Luna reluctantly agreed with her. “She is right. Perhaps, I should go first. This way, if I were to fail, at least the rest of you would remain unharmed, and then if it should work, I can easily return and we can all go forth again.”

“That could work.” said Shippo.

The other ponies agreed, but they still didn’t seem too keen on the idea. “But what if you don’t come back at all?” cried Rarity “What if the plan doesn’t work at all, and we lose you?!”

Luna was well aware of this, “I agree there is a risk involved, but if we are ever to even hope of figuring out how to get back home, to Equestria, we must try. I cannot ask you all to put your own lives in danger.”

“No!” Cadance snapped “We should ALL go. We all came here and we all can go.”

Rainbow and Rarity agreed, though they felt rather crazy doing so.

“Are you certain of this?” asked Luna “You do realize the great risk, and that there may not be any do-overs.”

Inuyasha was really growing annoyed, “I can’t take this anymore.” He grumbled “Look, I’ll go with you all. That way if anything does happen, maybe we can be better prepared for it.”

The ponies were well aware that Inuyasha was the only other member of the group that could pass through the well, but they still didn’t feel that his presence would really help much.

Indeed, Inuyasha was secretly thinking, “Maybe they’ll finally shut up and actually do it already.”

After yet another moment of silence, the ponies all finally agreed to all go, but first they all extended their goodbyes to the rest of the group.

“Words cannot express the protection and teachings you have given us.” said Luna.

“We are truly grateful for helping us out.” added Cadance.

“And good luck with your own quests.” said Rainbow.

Rarity had no words, she was never good with goodbyes, but it was clear she would miss the others.

They would all miss the ponies as well. “We wish you all the best of luck, should your plan work.” said Miroku.

The others all nodded.

“Come on, let’s go already.” grumbled Inuyasha.

Kagome growled softly, but Luna assured her “He is correct. We must go before we decide to change thought.”

She then cautioned both Kagome and Inuyasha to stand together. They did so, and then Luna proceeded to cast her special spell over herself and the other ponies. The magic was almost too blinding, everyone covered their eyes as the light got brighter.

…Then, all was quiet.

“Hey, where’d they go?” cried Shippo.

“They just vanished.” said Sango, but Myoga hopped on her shoulder, “I wouldn’t say that exactly.” and he motioned at Inuyasha and Kagome.

There, on their faces were tattoo-like pictures of each of the ponies. Kagome thought it was kind of neat, while Inuyasha was disgusted, “What is this?” he growled as he tried to scratch at the picture of Rainbow Dash on his left cheek.

“Hey, stop that!” groaned Rainbow.

The others all gawked in awe at the pictures, and Luna explained “As I said before: This spell should help us pass through the well, as we are attached to Kagome and Inuyasha. The teleportation powers may let us through.”

“That sounds… cool… I guess.” said Kagome “Just the same, I hope this really does work. I’d hate to think if it wouldn’t.”

Rarity looked very worried, and would have shuddered, but she couldn’t exactly move. “Let’s just do this now and get it over with.”

“Well, here goes then.” said Kagome, and she stepped onto the ledge of the well, and Inuyasha stepped up with her.

Then the both jumped down to the bottom, and passed through the dimensional warp.

While in the Dark Zone, in the present day, only a day had passed.

Davis and Beast Boy were prepared for their mission; to bring the ponies from each of their respective worlds to the Dark Zone. Only then from there would they be able to return them all to Equestria where they belonged, and hopefully put an end to all the trouble they had been causing.

“I’m worried about this.” said Davis “The ponies will be hanging around our old friends.”

“Yeah, I know what you mean.” said Beast Boy “It means they might get involved too.”

Even the lord was aware of this possibility, “If such things are unavoidable,” he said “We shall do what we must to put things properly again.

Go now, and good luck my dark angels.”

The boys nodded, and left through respective portals.

Spike felt a little nervous, knowing the ponies would be coming here, to the Dark Zone very soon. A slight part of him was sort of looking forward to seeing them again, but that was it.

“I sense your tension, Spike.” the lord said “If you wish you do not have to be here upon your friends’ arrival.”

Spike shook his head, “No, no…” he paused a moment “It’s been bothering me long enough since I discovered they were gone. At least I can do this much for them and help them get back to Equestria. Though I don’t know why I should even bother.”

He clenched his fists tightly, remembering the reason he came to the Dark Zone to begin with.

Nobunaga calmed him, “Ease yourself, Spike. I understand how you feel, and I believe I speak on the behalf of every creature in this entire realm, but you realize that whatever feelings or emotions you may have will change nothing.

We are what we are.”

Spike sighed, “I know… I’m sorry.”

Nobunaga felt there was more to Spike’s worry than just seeing his friends, and naturally he didn’t have to ask as it was plain Spike was worried of the remaining four ponies that went to the Feudal Era.

Spike looked up at Nobunaga, “Please, can you at least tell me if they were okay after… you know…?”

Nobunaga looked deep into his altered memories of the past, but strangely he could not find any other times he ran into the ponies since they tried to corner him. “I do not understand. I know they were not downed in any battle, I would have sensed and absorbed such dark emotions.”

The lord felt this as well, “In all the many eons I have been here, I have never sensed anything like it.”

Nobunaga began to wonder, and he turned and dashed through a portal before anyone could question him.

All Spike could do now was meditate in peace, and try to relax.

While all this was happening, it had gone nearly nightfall in the Digi Destineds’ world.

The entire gang was still out in the field, ready to conduct their experiment: Ken would unleash the dark power he absorbed from the Dark Ocean, and hope that it would attract Davis’ spirit, and then Twilight would cast her magic, which would allow everyone present to see what Kari could see; so that they would all be able to see Davis too.

“Do you really think this will work?” asked Matt. Everyone else wondered the same thing, and they all looked over at Izzy. “Don’t look at me. I can’t answer this. It’s beyond any levels of programing.”

“Look,” Ken said “The only way to know for sure is to try it. I didn’t go to all that trouble just to not do it.”

“And neither did I.” agreed Yolei.

Kari looked a little nervous as she sat on a large rock, twiddling her fingers. Gatomon sat down beside her, “You okay?”

Kari quivered softly but nervously. She had not forgotten how pissed Davis looked when he scolded her.

“I’m worried.” she said “If we actually confront him, he’ll be madder than ever before.”

Gatomon almost didn’t know how to respond to that, “Well, I know this may not sound right to say, but…” she paused “…He always did have temperamental issues.”

Kari smiled very weakly, remembering all the times Davis had his little freak outs, “But still, never were they ever like this.”

She hung her head forward and sighed, and as she looked up, she saw TK sitting by himself, obviously still shaken from earlier when he saw Patamon through the portal, but they could not be reunited like she and Gatomon.

She got up and walked over to her boyfriend, “TK…?”

He looked up at her and smiled weakly, knowing she was concerned for him, “I’m okay. I just really miss Patamon, and I wish he could come back. I know why he can’t.”

He clenched his fists tightly, and he thought back to what lead to all this, “Davis!” This was the mix of his sadness and his anger, but Kari placed her hand over his to calm him, and she smiled at him lovingly.

They pecked each other softly on the mouth, which the ponies thought was sweet.

Just then, Jun’s mom finally made it to join the gang on her way home from work. “I got your message, Jun. Now what is so important?”

“Mother…” said Jun “Meet the My Little Ponies.”

The ponies waved and bowed to her, and Jun’s mom was rather intrigued. “Are these more of those…Digi-men… you all hang out with?”

“That’s Digimon…” corrected Hawkmon “And no, they’re not like us, but that is beside the point.”

Twilight approached her, “We… heard about your son, and we’re very to hear that.”

Mom looked really sad and hurt, “Thank you…” she said “I know it was a while back, but it still feels like it only just happened.

…Davis.”

Jun and Tai held her softly. Fluttershy felt herself tearing up, “Oh, you poor, poor thing.” she wept softly, and Shining Armor and Twilight comforted her.

“Take it easy, Mrs. M.” said Tai “What if we told you that we brought you here so you can SEE him again.”

“Huh?”

The ponies nodded at her, “We know it sounds hard to believe,” said Starlight “But if what we have planned works… well… I…”

Now Mom looked edgy, “Please do it. If I could just see my son one last time, it’ll really help me!”

Gennai cleared his throat “Are we ready to begin?”

Ken shivered softly, but he snapped himself upright to bravely take on his task. “Stand back. Give me plenty of room.”

Everyone did as they were told, and Mimi was starting to shiver as well, “This is so frightening.” She murmured. Joe held her hand “Easy now… we know why we’re doing this.”

Ken then stood in the open space, and held his D3 up high. The D3 began pulsating with a dark light.

At the very same time, Davis appeared high above the city just as the sun sank below the horizon, and the sky grew darker.

“Now, I’ve got to find those ponies.” he said to himself. He figured they were probably with Tai and Kari; typical of Kari to let new friends in.

Suddenly, as he was about to fly off, he looked down in the direction of the field by the high school where he used to go, and he saw a huge burst of power shooting up into the sky. “That’s dark digital energy!” snapped Davis “What’s going on?”

He flew straight down to investigate.

Ken continued to flow the dark aura up into the air. He was beginning to feel the strain get to him.

“Ken!!” cried Yolei.

“I’m okay.” he called to her, “Kari… can you see Davis anywhere?”

Kari looked up and all around, “No, nothing.”

Jun’s mom looked all around, “I don’t see him either.”

“That’s because only Kari can see him.” said Tai “But Twilight knows a spell than can help us.”

“Wait!” Kari suddenly snapped “I see him! He’s coming!”

Everyone looked up on impulse, forgetting they couldn’t see him.

Davis came soaring in, “Shit!” he growled. He really was hoping not to run into all his friends, and worse… his mother and his sister were there too, but he remembered what the lord had said, “…I have to do this.”

Kari pointed at where Davis was, levitating directly above everyone, just near where Ken was forcing the dark beam.

“Now, Twily…!” snapped Shining Armor.

Twilight shut her eyes tightly, and concentrated hard. “Now!” she shouted and she fired a beam of magic straight at Kari, right in her eyes-- The light was perfectly harmless, and didn’t hurt her vison.

“Kari…!” Davis thundered. He had no idea what Twilight was doing to her, until the blast of light then flashed off of Kari and struck everyone else, including the ponies themselves.

Davis covered his eyes from the bright light, and when the light faded, everyone looked up. “Davis!” cried Sora.

“I see him!” added Izzy.

Everyone gawked in astonishment.

“I don’t believe it!” said Gennai.

“Hawkmon, I think I’m going to faint!” cried Wormon.

Davis’ family both passed out in Tai’s arms when they saw him. “Whoa…! Hey!” cried Tai as he held his girlfriend and her mother up.

As for Davis, he couldn’t believe this as he looked back and forth, all around at everyone gawking at him.

“The spell worked!” said Starlight, but she was much too mesmerized by the sight of whom she saw.

“Davis…” murmured Ken “…is it really you?”

Yolei just looked up at Davis and how unusual he looked, all dark, the clothes he wore, but he himself was looking more and more frustrated.

Twilight approached him, “Davis… is it?” she said softly “We don’t want to hurt you, we just want to talk with you.”

Davis just glared at her furiously. This pony and all her friends were causing himself and the other dark angels so much trouble.

His glare sent shivers down Twilight’s back. Fluttershy whimpered behind the other ponies, “I don’t like that look he’s giving.”

All the while, in the Titans’ verse…

It was the next day, and Robin had gone to the jewelry store with Celestia’s crown jewels to make the exchange, and he returned to the tower with the Sun Crystal.

He took it out of the special box, and undid all the packaging papers wrapped around it.

Everyone gawked at the crystal with such awe. “Oooh…” said Pinkie “I can see myself in so many positions.” And she proceeded to make funny faces and weird poses just to see them all in the crystal’s reflection.

Even Starfire couldn’t help but ogle at the crystal’s stunning beauty. “At least it is safe knowing that we have it and can use it when need be.”

Celestia raised her hoof to rub across the top of her head where her crown once sat. She didn’t regret bartering with it or her necklace at all and could easily replace them once she got back to Equestria…

…but first thing was first. She and the other ponies still wanted to try and help the Titans, especially Terra get over her trauma of Beast Boy.

Terra was relaxing in her seat at the table and working on her breathing for the baby. She seemed much calmer than yesterday.

“You holdin’ out okay?” Applejack asked.

“Yeah, I’m fine.” replied Terra “Still… I really hope what we’re going to do works. I can’t live like this.”

Cyborg hated to break what he was about to say to her, “Even if it does work and we actually do talk to Beast Boy; how do you know if you’ll really be able to get over it?”

Cyborg felt every eye in the room centered on him.

“What are you saying?” said Robin “That it won’t work anyway? We shouldn’t even try?”

“That’s not what I’m saying at all.” protested Cyborg “I’m saying there’s some things you just got to live with, they can’t just go away because you want them to, or with some kind of magic trick.”

Starfire sensed the inner sadness in his words. “Cyborg, what are you basing this on?”

Cyborg spoke carefully, “Look, I don’t just want to forget Beast Boy, okay? When he died it really broke me. He was my best bud, despite his acting like a mother--”

“Language, please…!” Celestia cut in, reminding her that Flurry Heart was present; not that she herself detested swearing anyway.

“Point is…” Cyborg continued “Even if he was nasty, and giving us all sh--”

“Language…!”

Cyborg sighed, “Point is, he was STILL one of us, and maybe we weren’t always so cool with him, but I miss him, and I can never forget him.”

The others all felt the same, Terra felt the worst, and were Raven present instead of in her room she’d probably feel the same way.

Celestia thought was noble of the Titans, still showing true friendship, and yet it still baffled her that they all had such issues that nearly made them become enemies from what she was told.

“Well, whatever happens,” she said “The most we can do is go through with you together. No one knows friendship better than we do.”

Pinkie and Applejack nodded.

“Thank you,” Robin said.

Then Raven came in, “What did I miss?”

“Never mind that now.” said Robin “Are you ready to do it?”

Raven nodded and told everyone to come to the roof with her, where there would be plenty of room.

“This is it…” said Terra, and her insides were going crazy, partly from her pregnancy, but mostly her own nerves of confronting Beast Boy again. She hadn’t forgotten how large her role was in his insanity, and possible death.

The ponies helped her onto her feet.

“Thanks.” she said.

Once up on the roof, the morning sunlight felt really warm, and the salty sea air felt nice. “Wow! That feels good.” Pinkie said as she felt the breeze flowing through her mane.

Raven urged everyone to form a circle around her around the helipad. “I was reading up and preparing for this spell all night. In order to make it work, I need you all to concentrate hard; clear your minds and ease your spirits.”

“And this will permit us to see Beast Boy?” asked Starfire.

Raven nodded, and then she looked over at Terra, “You don’t need to be in the circle because you can already see him.”

With this known fact, Celestia entrusted Flurry Heart to Terra to care for. “She doesn’t need to be subjected to this.”

Terra held the baby in her arms almost like a pro for she had been practicing, holding pillows in the same way, to be prepared for her own baby. “I promise I’ll take good care of her.”

“Make sure you do.” said Celestia, and she left to join the others leaving Terra to look down at the cooing baby in her arms. Seeing the smile on her little face melted her heart and she smiled softly down at her.

As for the others, they all formed a perfect circle around Raven. She sat in the middle and once again told everyone, “Close your eyes and clear your minds of all thoughts.”

Everyone did as was told and went silent and as stiff as boards of wood. Then Raven went into a deep, silent trance as she concentrated her powers. The dark aura began to flow around her, and only Terra could properly see it, and she covered Flurry’s eyes not wanting her to get scared.

At the very same time, Beast Boy appeared in the skies over Jump City, though no one could see him. “Okay…” he said softly to himself “Just got to get the ponies, and get out of here.”

He could see Titan’s Tower off in the distance, knowing the ponies were there, but he also could feel the sense of darkness coming from the roof. “What’s going on over there?” he wondered, and he flew off on his way to get closer.

The darkness shrouding Raven was glowing brighter than ever and finally enveloped all the ponies and the Titans standing around her; seeping right into their eyes.

Then all was quiet, and everyone opened their eyes, and looking at themselves from head to toe. Pinkie Pie even felt herself all over, pulled on her skin like rubber, and hopped a few times. “I don’t feel any different than I did before.”

“Trust me, you are.” said Raven “We won’t get to find out unless we see Beast Boy again anyway.”

“Well, just how are we supposed to do that?” asked Applejack.

Terra suddenly looked up and gasped, “There he is! He’s coming this way!”

Everyone looked off to where she was pointing, and they couldn’t actually see him heading straight for the tower. Raven’s magic had really worked!

“Whoa!” cried Robin.

“I… I do not believe…” said Starfire.

“…Beast Boy!” stammered Cyborg.

The ponies all gawked in astonishment, but fright as well. All three of them were speechless.

Beast Boy stopped in midair just above the helipad. “There they are.” he said aloud while eyeing the ponies, but then he noticed that they along with all the Titans were gawking at him.

“Beast Boy…!” Robin called up to him.

“We can see you now.” added Starfire.

“Ah?!” cried Beast Boy “No way!! You can all see me?!”

“Um… yeah, we can all see you.” replied Applejack

Beast Boy was fraught with confusion, annoyance, and fear.

The Titans were all just as concerned as they looked at him. “What the hell is he wearing?” Cyborg whispered to the other Titans.

“And why is not his usual shade of green?” wondered Starfire.

Celestia was the most interested by what she was seeing; the way he looked so dark, and pale sent shivers down her spine.

“Beast Boy…” Terra said as she softly stepped forth with Flurry Heart, and she passed her to Pinkie Pie on the way, and stopped until she was a few feet away from him; separated by his floating up high where she couldn’t reach him.

He looked her dead in the eyes and felt extreme anger and hate coursing through him, he couldn’t even speak.

The ponies didn’t like the looks of this.

“I ain’t never seen no one so shaky before.” Applejack whispered to Pinkie Pie.

“Me either…” said Pinkie, and she passed her Flurry Heart, “I think he just needs a hug.” And she bounced her way over.

“Pinkie Pie!” called Applejack.

Pinkie then leapt up high to hug Beast Boy, only to pass right through him like thin air and fall flat on the ground. She was more freaked out than hurt “What the…?!” she cried.

Everyone else whimpered as well.

Beast Boy looked behind him at Pinkie and growled softly, almost like a monster from Tartarus making her whimper and scuttle off.

Terra backed away too to where Raven was standing.

Robin bravely stepped forward “Easy, Beast Boy… we don’t want to hurt you. We just want to talk. I know it’s been awhile.”

Beast Boy glared at him and snarked, “You want to talk? Exactly what is there to talk about?”

Robin didn’t like his attitude, none of the others did, but it was expected.

Meanwhile, in Kagome’s world…

Both she and Inuyasha appeared in the well and climbed up, with the ponies still tattooed onto their faces. “Hey, it worked!” she cried for joy. “We all made it.”

The ponies began to cheer for joy and relief.

As soon as Kagome and Inuyasha stepped outside, in the sunlight, Luna uncast her spell and the ponies all appeared in their normal forms.

“What a ride!” said Rainbow.

“Thank goodness we made it!” cried Rarity.

Luna and Cadance looked all around them at this new world they were in, which was much different than the Feudal Era or Equestria altogether.

“Amazing…” said Luna.

“Astonishing?” added Cadance “Even Las Pegasus was never this big.”

Kagome chuckled softly, but Inuyasha pointed out “So we got you all here, but how are you supposed to get back home?”

“He’s right.” said Rarity “I don’t see how we can possibly get to Equestria from here.”

Suddenly, someone called out to the gang, “Kagome, Inuyasha…!”

It was Kagome’s younger brother Sota, just returning from school, jogging up to them all. He was always excited whenever Inuyasha came too, but suddenly he stopped when he saw the ponies. “Whoa, more demons…?”

Rainbow and Rarity felt offended being called demons.

“I assure you, we are not demons.” said Luna.

Sota was startruck, “Wow, they can talk too!”

Cadance couldn’t help but giggle at Sota’s innocence.

“Oh, brother…” groaned Inuyasha “Do we really have to go through all these intros again?”

Suddenly, Luna looked up in the sky and saw to her astonishment, “…Nobunaga!”

“Huh?!” cried Kagome.

Everyone looked up into the sky, but only Luna could see him up overhead.

Nobunaga was shocked, and slightly horrified. “Kagome… Inuyasha…?” it was them, and they had the four ponies from five-hundred years ago that altered his memories and timeline. “I don’t believe it!” he cried.

“Um… What are we looking at?” asked Sota

Luna then narrowed her eyes and her horn began to glow.

“Not this time…” sneered Nobunaga, and he swerved out of the way before Luna could blast him with her spell like she did centuries ago!

“What is going on?” asked Sota.

“It’s a long story, Sota.” replied Kagome.

The other ponies could do nothing to help, Rainbow had no magic to use, and Cadance and Rarity knew only dark magic could affect Nobunaga, but Nobunaga was proving o be slicker and more elusive than ever; the result of being a Dark Angel for centuries.

“This has got to stop!” Nobunaga thundered, and he realized what he could do to put things right and stop the ponies from causing him any more trouble.

He…

Davis…

…And Beast Boy…

All three of them, at that exact same moment, raised their arms above their heads, and their hands began to glow with a huge dark aura.

“What’s happening?!” cried Kari

“What’s he doing?” shouted Terra.

The boys created portals like black holes, which began to suck everyone near them up like a vacuum.

“What’s going on?!” cried Twilight.

“It’s a trans-dimensional warp!” shouted Raven.

Everyone felt themselves falling through a remarkable yet dizzy ride through a serious of dimensional warps, vortexes, and paths of mixed colors, lightning, and flashes… until finally, every crash landed in a most dark and foreboding place.

It was as dark as night, darker even. The skies were all covered with thick dark clouds, with hints of dark purple streaks. The lands were all dark, long and practically endless. All ways there was darkness and more darkness. The grounds were dry and covered with dark purple and grey sand, and no vegetation or plant life whatsoever. There were large mountains in the distances, and soft yet eerie winds whistling around.

All three groups stood nearly at the same place gawking around at the darkness all around them. “What is this place?” Twilight whimpered.

Celestia’s ears twitched, “Twilight?!”

Luna’s head snapped up right “Sister…!”

The pony groups all turned to face one another, and their faces lit up with joy, and they all huddled together exchanging hugs and delight to see one-another again.

Cadance was especially happy to be reunited with her whole family, “Oh, Flurry Heart!” she sobbed as she cuddled her crying baby close to her and hugged her husband and sister-in-law.

The two sisters hugged, and Luna noticed, “Sister, your crown… your necklace!”

“Never mind…” Celestia sobbed, and she hugged her sister again.

Suddenly, the eerie winds captured their attentions, and they along with the other groups were shaken with fear.

“Kagome…!” cried Sota “Where are we?”

His sister held him close “Easy, Sota, it’ll be fine.”

Inuyasha had never seen a place like this before. He sniffed the air hard, “This place reeks of… death.”

Sota only cried harder. “Inuyasha!” scolded Kagome.

The Digi Destined and friends all felt chills running down their spines. “This place is even darker than the Dark Ocean.” said TK.

Wormon and Hawkmon held each other whimpering.

“Babies.” Gatomon muttered, but the howling winds and the swirling dark skies made her feel the same, and she huddled together with them.

Kari, Ken, and Yolei were beginning to freak out softly due to their hate of the dark!

Jun and her mother slowly woke up after fainting.

“What happened?” asked Jun “I didn’t think it got this dark at night.”

Her mother looked up at the errie skies, “I don’t think this is the night. We must be in that… that… Digital land you call.”

“That’s “Digital World” corrected Gennai “And no… that’s not where we are. I would know.”

Izzy’s computer was dead and wouldn’t work at all. “Even I can’t tell where we are.”

Cyborg’s computer was also out of action, but his power cells were holding up fine. “Well that won’t help us.”

The other Titans looked all around, “Raven, perhaps you know of this place?” asked Starfire.

“No, I’ve never seen anything like this before.” replied Raven.

Terra held her stomach which was churning with sickening feelings, again, most likely from her pregnancy, but she was physically fine, but she wondered where Beast Boy went.

Celestia tried to use her magic to make her horn glow to shed more light in the darkness, but it didn’t work at all. “My magic!” she cried.

Twilight and Starlight tried, and they got nothing.

Starfire tried to hold up a star-bolt in her hand “I cannot make it work!” she whimpered “Our powers do not seem to function here.”

“That’s right.” said a voice behind her. It was Beast Boy and he was with Nobunaga, Davis, and…

“Spike!” cried Twilight.

Spike just sneered at her, “Hello, Twilight. It’s been a while.”

Rarity’s eyes lit up, “Oh, Spike… is it really you?!”

For once, Spike did not seem thrilled to see her and continued to glare at her.

“What is all this?” Tai suddenly spoke up, “Where are we? Why did you guys bring us here?”

“We were only going after the ponies.” replied Davis “The fact we took all of you with us couldn’t be helped, but maybe it’s just as well for all the trouble you’ve all been causing us Dark Angels.”

“Dark… Angels?” asked Robin.

Everyone looked around and saw more and more creatures exactly like the quartet; only they were completely black toned with no faces, like wearing a complete suit over their entire bodies.

One of the sentries then approached everyone and cleared his throat at the quartet. “The lord has summoned you all to appear before him.”

“The lord?” squeaked Fluttershy, and she felt her knees getting so weak with fear she nearly fell over.

Spike rolled his eyes, “Just come with us, now!”

He and the other Dark Angels walked off.

“Wow, he’s rude for a shrimp.” said Inuyasha.

Kagome agreed with him, “We better do as they say.”

The ponies were most upset with Spike’s attitude. “I’ve never known him to be that short with us.” said Starlight to Twilight.

Twilight was feeling really upset deep down about Spike.

Kari looked on ahead at Davis’ back facing her, and she wanted to try and at least talk to him, but having seen the angry expression before he turned away from her, and how furious he looked before her brought everyone to this place, she decided it against it.

The Titans all walked closely together in their own group while the other groups all stayed together, but Raven suddenly stopped and looked down at the dark rocks in the ground and how they were neatly smoothed as if they were caved.

She reached out to take a small piece, when Beast Boy slapped her hand, “Don’t… Touch… Anything!” he growled at her “How do you like it?”

He was referring to that time in Tokyo she gave him the same understandable, but harsh courtesy.

Raven was already pissed, but she suddenly realized, “…How did he physically touch me?”

The Titans didn’t like how Beast Boy had just treated her, but resisted any urge to call him out.

Finally, they arrived on the spot. The Sentry and the quartet bowed to their ruler, but all the others were confused.

“It’s nothing but a big wall of black.” said Cody.

“Insolent fool…!” jeered Nobunaga “Look from another perspective and you shall see.”

Everyone looked up, way, way up and gasped with such amazement. The Lord was and incredibly enormous dark being, more than twice the height of Canterlot Palace. The blackness everyone was all looking at was just the start of a massive trail of energy like a genie’s lower portion of energy. The Lord’s entire body was pitch-black, with slight hints of faded sparkles indicating the edges.

Way up top, his head alone had to be the size of a house, and atop his head were shapes resemble antler horns, and his eyes glowed dark gray. He was sitting perfectly still and silent as a mountain.

There was not a single person or pony in any of the three groups that weren’t fraught with fear and trembling at the sight of the lord.
