The cries of Wakandan soldiers chanting in their native language reflective the growing tension that was developing between the invading armies of Emperor Grogar and the defenders of Canterlot. From inside the hulkbuster armor, the sounds of the chants made Starlight feel antsy.

"What is that?" she cried, trying to keep the armor stable with her magic. "What are they chanting? Hello? Anyone?"

While she was saying this, the invaders' soldiers attempted to break through the barrier, scratching and clawing their way through. Acting as one of the commanders, T'Challa stepped forward and with a loud cry, ordered the defenders to aim their weapons at the multi-creature soldiers.

"Fire!" he shouted in Xhosa and blasts from the Wakandan's spears, the guardsponies horns, Bucky's gun and the Hulkbuster's hands were fired at the invaders, striking them down on the ground while Sam, Rhody, Raninbow Dash and the aerial combatants of the Wonderbolts attacked from the air. One of the invading Storm Creatures attempted to reach up and grab at Sam, displaying his sharp teeth.

"You see the teeth on these guys?" Sam yelped.

"All right, back up, Sam," advised Jim. "You and the flying ponies are about to get your wings singed."

From inside his War Machine armor, Jim sent a barrage of bombs onto the donkeys and Storm Creatures killing them on impact. To Proxima and Ebony Maw, this didn't seem to bother them at all.

"They're just killing themselves," remarked Natasha to Steve. "Do we want that, Steve?"

All Steve could do was look at T'Challa and the two men both agreed that they were only delaying the inevitable. The barrier was going to fall in a matter of time.

"Shining Armor," T'Challa said, speaking into a radio. "On my signal, remove the barrier."

Shining Armor, who was commanding a platoon on the Northeast Wall of Canterlot, was stunned to hear this.

"You sure about that?" he asked. "Requesting confirmation."

"On my signal," ordered T'Challa.

"This will be the end of Equestria," gasped Luna to Celestia, realizing what was about to happen.

"Then let it be the greatest ending in history," Celestia replied in a low voice, charging up her horn.

At that moment, T'Challa stepped forward ahead of the army and with a look of determination on his face, gave the cry to start the battle for Canterlot.

"EQUESTRIA FOREVER!"

Covering his face with his mask, T'Challa now as the Black Panther, led the charge leading the army straight towards the enemy. As they neared the barrier, T'Challa gave the signal to Shining Armor.

"Now!" he called to Shining Armor and the Prince of the Crystal Empire did as he was told, lowering the barrier he had held up for so long.

With Steve Rogers running at equal speed at T'Challa's side, the two armies collided and using every bit of strength each side had, fought each other to the death. Immediately, both sides took large amounts of causalities. Celestia and Luna turned their attention towards Sombra, leading his brigade towards them.

"Luna, stop him!" shouted Celestia and doing as she was told, Luna fired a series of blasts from her horn at Sombra's charging forces, killing several of them instantly. Using whatever spells they had in them, the two sisters fought tooth and nail against the raging forces.

Seeing his army about to be decimated, Sombra loudly roared and large groups of donkey and changeling soldiers diverted their planed attacked and towards the sisters. But before the donkeys could strike, a large series of vines stopped them in their tracks.

"Need a hand, princess?" cried Rocket, jumping off of Groot's shoulder and firing his space gun at the donkeys. Relieved to see this, the two sisters resumed their attack on Sombra.

"Thank you, rabbit!" cried Luna, much to Rocket's irritation.

"Uh, you know, I'm a raccoon, right?"

However, a pair of Changeling soldiers attacked Rocket at that moment before his question could be answered.

…

Meanwhile, with his armies invading Canterlot, Grogar teleported himself from Tambeleon and arrived at the Castle of Friendship, targeting the Elements of Harmony as well as Twilight Sparkle's magic. Watching from the roof of the School of Friendship, five of the young six, dressed in battle garb, gazed shockingly at what they were seeing before them.

"It's him!" gasped Sandbar, looking through a pair of binoculars. "It's Grogar!"

"What do we do?" cried Silverstream with a panicked expression on her face.

"We alert Twilight and the others," added Gallus and the Griffon flew over to the Castle of Friendship at a frantic pace. Before he could reach the castle, however, a familiar voice stopped him.

"Stop!" called a female voice and the students were stunned to hear the voice of their fellow student, Ocellus, coming from Grogar's mouth. "It's only me, Ocellus!"

"Ocellus," sighed Smolder, lowering her guard and flying down to her friend's side. "It's only you. Where have you been?"

"Thorax and Pharynx were attacked and I was visiting them in Canterlot," explained Ocellus. "By Chrysalis and Kuwanga. They must have attacked in order to weaken us. I had to assume Grogar's form to conceal myself from the others."

"What's going on in Canterlot now?" asked Gallus.

"Grogar's army is already attacking it."

Acting on these words, the young six retreated into the castle of friendship to warn Twilight, but the Princess of Friendship was already on the move.

"He's coming," cried Twilight, looking down at her students with a panicked look on her face. "Grogar is coming."

"It's only a false alarm," reassured Ocellus. "It was only me."

"Of course I knew it was only you. The real Grogar is coming here right now!"

Now panicked, the students, Avengers and the remaining Guardians of the Galaxy each awaited their instruction.

"This is it," Twilight cried to her allies. "He's coming! We must do whatever it takes to not let him near the tree of harmony, is that clear?"

"What do you want us to do?" asked Tony.

It didn't take long for Twilight to give him an answer.

"We need a diversion," she said. "Perhaps we can trap him and that way, we can try and remove the chaos gauntlet from his hoof."

"How do you propose we do that?" asked Dr. Strange.

"We trick him into thinking that there is nopony else here," decided Twilight.

"Where have I heard this before?" wondered Tony, remembering that this was the same strategy used in stopping Thanos. "Oh yeah, that's right on Titan."

"It's worth a try," said Peter, activating his metallic Spider Man suit. "We'll trick him, trap him and then remove the Chaos Gauntlet off of him."

Right away, Quill felt nervous as he didn't want a repeat of what happened with Thanos on Titan.

"All right, everyone find a hiding place outside," ordered Twilight. "Quickly! There isn't a lot of time!"

No sooner did Twilight say that did at that very moment, the real Grogar arrived from Tambeleon and he wasn't alone. He had the mean six with him for company, ready to fight to the death in order to help him obtain the Elements of Harmony.
