One night at the Game Company, Grogar was sitting in the office room looking at his computer of the files on the Rainbooms and Shenron. Ever since he gave the direct order to the Ravagers to go after them more than others, it's all his footmen in Eden have been doing. And every single time, they were all defeated and taken out, not only losing coins, but whatever fancy expensive weapons and gadgets that were supplied to them by him.

Through every failure to eliminate this team from the game had only angered him more. He clenched his fists before slamming them down on the desk, “I can't believe these players! My Ravagers are constantly being defeated by them, and no matter how many other players I bribe even they cannot defeat them. And the more my followers fail, the stronger these guys get, and the more I look like a laughingstock. It'll be a matter of time before they decide to storm Starswirl's fortress, and possibly try to take it.”

His eyes narrowed, “Alright, no more Mr. Nice Guy. I'm gonna need professional help to defeat those players. Let's see who is available.” he pulled up a file of contacts and began sending out invites while smirking.

The next day in the afternoon at the tower, Spike was in his room looking over his phone at a shopping site in Eden for new stuff. The boy smiled to himself, and spoke, “I hope the girls like these.”

He was brought out of his thoughts, as a knock was at his door, “Hey, Spike, you coming or what?” came Rainbow from outside his room.

“Coming!” Spike answered, as he got off his bed and left his room walking with Rainbow downstairs.

As they walked Rainbow noticed the smile on Spike's face, “What're you so happy about, Spike?”

“Oh, that's a surprise.” he answered.

“Surprise? This isn't like one of Pinkie's out of nowhere surprise pop outs is it?” Rainbow wondered in concern.

“Don't worry, I'll let you know when we get to Eden.” Spike assured her.

“Well, ok.” Rainbow said still squinting at him.

They met up with the rest of the girls before donning their VR gear and entered Eden. After leaving the terminal, the group headed for the Angel Grove Gym and Juice Bar.

As they sat at the counter enjoying health boosting drinks, Rainbow spoke, “Still can't believe spring break is over.”

“Yeah,” Pinkie agreed, “It's like it began, and then snap it's over.”

“You all knew it couldn't last forever.” Sunset reminded them.

“I know.” Rainbow sighed.

“Relax, Rainbow, in another few months it'll be summer time. And that's longer than spring break.” Spike reminded her.

“Which means ya'll be able to do more than ya did before.” Applejack added.

Rainbow renewed with hope smiled, “Yeah. I can handle another few months.”

“But before that we'll have final exams.” Twilight spoke up making Rainbow, Spike, and Pinkie pout.

“Way to kill the mood, Twilight.” Rainbow sighed.

“Alright, everyone. Let's all calm down,” Rarity calmed them, “Remember we come here to get away from the troubles of the real world.”

“And I'd rather we not bring them here.” Fluttershy added.

“You're right, sorry, guys.” Twilight apologized.

“Hey, it happens.” Rainbow replied.

Spike smiled, and spoke, “So now that we're all here, there is something I'd like to tell you girls.”

All eyes fell on Spike, as Pinkie spoke, “Ooh, what is it?”

“Well, since recently I hit a heavy jackpot with collecting coins from defeated players or challenges I decided to get your girls-” Spike was cut off, as Ravagers burst into the juice bar alarming the other players.

“Oh, great, these jokers again?” Rainbow groaned.

“No problem. We can take them.” Pinkie reminded her.

Applejack looked ahead and grew concerned, “Uh, I don't think they came alone.”

Everyone looked and saw the Ravagers standing aside making room for the approaching presence of others. Standing before everyone were Six versions of the Shredder.

The other avatars were in shock for they knew if any player was in link with the Ravagers, they were no ally of theirs.

The group of Shredder's peered around the juice bar before stopping as Spike and the girls were in their sight.

“They're looking at us.” Fluttershy whispered in fright.

“Keep it cool.” Rainbow whispered back.

“They're coming over now.” Rarity whispered feeling equally worried.

The Shredder's soon stopped before them, “Shenron and the Rainbooms, we finally meet face to face.” Utrom Shredder began.

Spike replied while keeping it cool, “Well-well, if it isn't Shredder, Shredder, Shredder, Shredder, Shredder, and Shredder.”

“That's a lot of Shredder.” Pinkie joked, only to receive glares from the other girls.

“We require a moment of your time.” DC Shredder insisted.

“Well, you since you fellas asked so nicely...” Applejack began, until Spike finished.

“We're gonna have to decline.”

The 2012 Shredder growled, as he got closer, “This is not a request! Either you come with us now, or we shall end your miserable existences here and now!” he readied one of his bladed claws.

“You'd be wise to choose your options carefully.” Tengu Shredder warned them.

“Because if you choose wrong, our allies are prepared to make you change your minds.” Cyber Shredder motioned to the Ravagers. The avatars in the bar continued to remain at distance not wanting to get into the crossfire between these two sides.

“So basically if we don't comply then we face a violent attack?” Sunset asked rhetorically.

“Well, we guess you really don't leave us any choice.” Twilight sighed, while was secretly reaching into her stash and selected a smoke bomb. She quickly threw it in the direction of the Shredder's. The bomb detonated releasing smokescreen on the group of armored ninjas, as Spike and the girls leaped from their seats gaining distance, while the patrons panicked, and the Ravagers armed themselves.

“Get them!” Green Ranger Shredder ordered the Ravagers, who charged.

As they tried opening fire on the group, Rarity used her shields to repel the blasts, “Rarity won't hold them forever.” Fluttershy feared.

“We have to get out of here and regroup.” Twilight told everyone.

Spike and the girls tried to figure out an escape route, until someone spoke up, “Hey, Shenron, Rainbooms!” the group looked seeing Sonic the Hedgehog holding out one of his rings, “Use this.”

He used one of his rings to open a portal for them, and on the other side of the ring was a metropolis city world. Spike seeing this was the best chance they had spoke to the Rainbooms, “This way!”

They all retreated to the portal, “Thank you, Sonic!” Fluttershy said, as they went through.

---

When the group was on the other side on one of the building rooftops, they watched as the Ravagers and the Shredder group tried to get through the ring portal only for it to close up before they could enter.

The group sighed in relief, “That was a close one.” Fluttershy said.

“The Shredder is one baddie you don't wanna mess with.” Applejack told the others.

“No kidding.” Spike agreed.

“Especially when there's more than one of him.” Sunset put in.

“Well, at least we got away from them.” Pinkie reminded her friends.

Rarity looked to the side and her eyes widen, “Darlings, I don't think we're out of the woods yet.”

The others looked and saw a sling portal forming with a Ravager being the one creating it. The one soldier stepped through the portal followed by several more Ravagers and finally Team Shredder.

The Rainbooms and Spike saw their opponents stand before them on the roof, “You had your chance to come along quietly.” 2012 Shredder reminded them.

“Now you will face your doom!” Tengu Shredder warned them.

The Ravagers armed themselves and charged into battle, “Spread out!” Twilight ordered, as the group split off.

Each of the group was facing off against the Ravagers picking them off like they were no trouble. Spike after defeating one Ravager saw the Utrom Shredder coming right at him.

Spike blocked one of the Utrom Shredder's strikes before punching him backward. The Shredder growled before he brought up his arsenal and selected the sword of Tengu equipping himself with it.

“Time for a little swordplay.” he told the dragon avatar.

“Took the words right out of my mouth!” Spike answered, as he selected the sword he won from Snide.

The two clashed with their swords trying to overpower the other, “You're skills are impressive. It's no wonder you've become such a threat.”

“If your employer finds us to be such a threat then he must really be desperate to take us out,” Spike replied, “And you and your buddies are fools to work along side him.”

“You'll pay for your insolence!” Utrom Shredder warned, as he powered up the Sword of Tengu.

Spike knowing what was coming jumped back and sucked before his opponent unleashed an energy wave from his blade. It missed Spike but sliced off a fan. Spike looked up seeing Utrom Shredder was ready to power up for another attack.

“My turn!” Spike focused energy into Snide's sword and unleashed his own energy wave from it. Utrom Shredder himself dodged the attack, before the two once again clashed with their swords.

Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie after handling some Ravagers saw Shredder from the DC crossover between Batman and the Ninja Turtles approaching, “Your skills are impressive, but they are nothing compared to mine!”

“We'll see about that.” Pinkie smirked, as Fluttershy despite intimidated raise her fists ready to fight.

DC Shredder growled as he went on the attack throwing punch after punch against Pinkie who was fighting back while dodging as best she could. Fluttershy watching wondering what to do, until she got an idea.

She started concentrating before calling out, “Pinkie move!” Pinkie hearing he friend jumped to the side leaving DC Shredder wide open for Fluttershy to unleash a gust of wind sending the ninja flying back before crashing into a pole.

“Nice shot!” Pinkie gave her a thumbs up.

DC Shredder got up and growled, “You picked the wrong person to mess with, girl!”

“Right back at ya, Shred Head.” Pinkie retorted.

DC Shredder once again ran at the two fighting them together. At first the girls were blocking his strikes, but the DC Shredder was relentless. The girls watched as he started moving his arms in a particular motion, before his arms started vibrating.

'Oh, no. The Sato Oshi Strike,' Pinkie thought, 'If that technique hits us we're done. If only I had something to deflect that attack. Wait, I do!'

DC Shredder lunged at Pinkie and Fluttershy who was afraid, until Pinkie whipped out a trap card and held it out, “Mirror Force!”

The card in question glowed before projecting a mirror shield that repelled the DC Shredder's deadly attack right back at him. The DC Shredder screamed, as he himself felt the full force of the attack and burst releasing all the coins he had collected.

“He's gone, Fluttershy!” Pinkie cheered, as she collected the coins.

“Thank goodness.” Fluttershy wiped her forehead in relief.

“One Shredder down, and five to go.” Pinkie counted.

Rarity and Twilight were blocking strikes from 2012 Shredder who kept on punching, “You think you can defeat me? You are no match against my power!”

“Keep telling yourself that.” Twilight replied as she fired shots of magic at the Shredder, who dodged, and tried to pierce Twilight, only to get blocked by Rarity's shield.

“You cannot keep this up forever, for I grow stronger from being fueled by rage!” Shredder broke Rarity's shield only for Twilight to blast him in the chest taking out some of his health.

“Rage is a fuel that burns quickly.” Twilight warned him.

“Always the wise Rainboom.” 2012 Shredder mocked, as he continued to attack the two.

The three were getting closer to the edge of the building above the alleyway. Before the girls could be sent over the edge they got an idea, as Twilight spoke, “You know, Shredder, relying on anger and rage will send you...” Shredder tried to punch her, only for Twilight to slide to the side making Shredder fall forward off the edge, “Over the edge!”

The 2012 Shredder screamed as he plummeted into the alleyway landing right in the back of a garbage truck. Rarity quickly launched a diamond shard at the truck's lever activating the compactor that crushed the 2012 Shredder destroying him.

“Oops.” Rarity said playfully.

With another Shredder down, Rainbow Dash and Applejack were facing off against the Green Ranger Shredder, “You will fall by my hands here!” the girls opponent declared.

“That's just like all you Shredder's all talk until the battle's done.” Applejack replied, as she summoned shuko claw gloves from her arsenal and started fighting back at the Green Ranger Shredder's own claws.

As the two clashed, Rainbow was looking around trying to think of a way to take out this version of the Shredder before spotting the water tower closest to Applejack and the Shredder. She smirked, before summoning a plasma blade from her arsenal storage. She started dashing around at the towers legs slicing at them. Applejack who looked past Green Ranger Shredder saw what Rainbow was doing. She smirked and spoke to her opponent.

“Looks like you're all washed up, Shredder!”

“What?” he asked, only to get kicked in the chest by Applejack who moved out of the way. He looked back seeing the water tower above him fell and burst open releasing a flow of water that washed the screaming avatar off the roof. Rainbow and Applejack watched him land right into a dumpster down below with the lid closing right on him.

“I love it when big time villains have comedic defeats.” Rainbow laughed.

Spike was still fighting Utrom Shredder with their swords until Tengu Shredder came up from behind the Dragon avatar and blasted him with demonic energy. Spike however saw the Tengu Shredder in the reflection off Utrom Shredder's mask plate and quickly jumped away to avoid the full impact, but the explosion from the energy blast knocked both him and Utrom Shredder away.

As Spike got up, he was knocked aside by Cyber Shredder. He groaned before checking his health seeing he was half way depleted.

“If I take another hit like that I'm down.” Spike told himself before avoiding another attack from Cyber Shredder.

“If you choose to surrender now I will make your end quick and painless!” he was suddenly blasted by Sunset Shimmer holding twin hand gun blasters.

“Like he would ever choose to surrender.” Sunset winked at Spike who smiled.

The girls regrouped and stood together, as the last three Shredder's stood side by side, “Ok, we have them outmatched, but they're still tough.” Twilight noted.

“Anyone got any bright ideas?” Applejack asked.

Spike suddenly remembered, “Actually. I do. Everyone open up your armory, select file Mecha Armor!”

The girls were confused, before opening up their armory and found said file. They selected it and suddenly they all began to glow. Suddenly the girls and Spike were all wearing powerful armor in their respective colors with Spike being purple, Twilight lavender, Sunset red, Applejack orange, Pinkie pink, Rainbow blue, Fluttershy yellow, and Rarity white.

“Holy moley!” Pinkie gasped.

“Whew doggy!” Applejack whistled.

“Awesome!” Rainbow cheered.

“Shenron, how did?” Twilight wondered.

“I got us all a little gift.” Spike smirked.

The girls smiled, before they smirked at the Shredder trio, before Rainbow spoke, “Let's kick some Shredder ass!” And the group charged into battle fighting the last three Shredder's head on.

The groups new armor gave them an increase in strength and speed allowing them to be more than a match for all three Shredder's combined.

“This is impossible!” Tengu Shredder cried.

“You cannot be this strong!” Utrom Shredder growled.

As the three Shredder's were pushed closer and closer to the edge of the building, Spike spoke as he summoned the blaster he won from Sledge.

“Your doubt will be your undoing.” Spike said before blasting the ground right before the trio making them back right up to the edge and all three fell together screaming.

Green Ranger Shredder opened the lid of the dumpster before looking up and seeing his other three comrades falling right down for him, “I hate this.” he said, before the three crashed down on him into the dumpster making the lid close again.

“And the trash has been taken out!” Pinkie cheered, as everyone else joined in. They powered down their armored forms, as Spike spoke.

“What say we get out of here?”

“Uh-huh.” the girls agreed, as they left Eden.

Down below in the alleyway, the four remaining Shredder's climbed out of the dumpster and realized they failed, and two of their comrades had lost.

“So who's going to be the one to break the news to our superior?” Green Ranger Shredder asked.

“Not it!” several of them quickly said.

“Not it!” Tengu Shredder said last before realizing he would have to be the one to break the news, “Ooh!” he growled while crossing his arms.

---

Later that night in Spike's room, the girls and Spike were all in their sleep attire, discussing the events in Eden, “So Grogar's once again sending others after us.” Fluttershy sighed.

“And those Shredder's were tough.” Pinkie added.

“Yeah, but we were tougher.” Rainbow boasted.

“It also helped we had that new armor in the end.” Applejack noted.

“Speaking of, I think we owe a debt of gratitude to our dear Spike here for such a generous gift.” Rarity said, as she cuddled up close to Spike who blushed upon feeling her rack press into his elbow.

Twilight nodded, “You really came through today with that armor you got each of us, Spike.”

“After all you girls did for me, I felt like I should get you all a gift for Eden. And by luck it really came in handy.” Spike explained with a smile.

“It sure did.” Sunset confirmed.

Pinkie yawned, “Well, I'm about ready to hit the sack. Goodnight, Spike.” she said before reaching over and kissed him.

“We'll see you in the morning, darling.” Rarity said giving Spike a kiss as well.

The rest of the girls got up and one by one gave Spike a goodnight kiss, before leaving his room. Spike watched the girls leave and smiled in satisfactory knowing his gifts to them was a big success.
