"Master! Someone is here!"

"What? Who?"

"A human, claiming to be a Doctor Edward Richtofen."

Apollo widened his eyes. He had heard of the doctor's machinations, and his infamy back in the past. He grinned and told the lower grunt a command.

"Lead him to my office. I want to talk to him. ALONE!!!"

The grunt nodded and left.

"Edward, so we'll meet again. I wonder what he wants? Does he want to join my cause to kill Celestia? To take over Equestria? To do what he has done, oh so many years ago?"

"Nein, I've come vith a warning."

Apollo smiled and turned towards the door. He soon became confused at the figure of the man. He was overweight, crazy-looking, and had glasses. He was also wounded, very severely, and panting. Cautiously, he spoke.

"Edward, what happened to you?"

"Eh, I gave my old body, took a new one."

"Um, yeah. I FUCKING HATE IT!!!"

"Language Samuel!" Richtofen looked to see the absurdly confused alicorn.

"Sorry, it has been, a different time after I left."

"I see... Wait, what this about a warning?"

"I'm sure I told you about Maxis."

"Yes?" Apollo got up from his seat, and trotted towards the genius psychopath.

"He has returned. Death three times von't stop him! Get your army, und tell zem to get ze help of zhose humans!"

Apollo was taken aback at that suggestion. Work, with the enemy!

"Surely, you jest."

"I don't! Dr. Maxis is arguably worse, zan I!"

"Worse? Hahahaha!"

"Zis is serious, DUMPKOFF!!!"

Apollo used his magic to hold Edward and jerked him to his face.

"Do not insult a god." Apollo said in a low tone.

"You are no god, you vill not hold me, und you vill die a horrible death if you do listen!"

"Death is nothing a god worries about." Apollo began to magically choke the German. For a brief moment, Samuel broke through.

"AGHK, H-help... m-me..."

Apollo released his grip, and Samuel began to breath, heavily.

"Leave, this Maxis does not concern me."

"You fool!" Richtofen broke through.

"Hold your tongue, human."

"Zis is..."

"MASTER!!!"

"What now?"

"We have..."

The merc fell to the floor, and coming through the door was an Asian man, dressed in WWII Japanese wear.

"Where are we?"

"WHO ARE YOU?!?!"

"I am Takeo. Terr me, where is.. Samuelr?"

"Umm, hi Tak? How's Russman?"

"ENOUGH OF THIS!!!" Apollo blasted a bright light and threw the two humans out of the room. He saw a blond man, holding a strange plastic rifle at one of his troops. A metal-suited monstrosity holding Grey Hoof by his neck. A dressed brunette woman, holding a donkey by a sword. A armored, raven-haired woman, rapier at a changeling's neck. A blond man, sword at a unicorn.

A skull-masked being, putting a small dragon in a headlock. A brown-skinned man with an eyepatch, holding a pistol to a changeling's head. A winged woman, drawing her fangs out of a dead assassin mare. A fat man, standing over a defeated minotaur. A blindfolded man, katana slicing a zompony in half, cleanly.

And in the middle of the room, seven humans, four women, three men, scared, and confused.

"I WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS!!!"

"Oh shit... RUN!!!" Samuel yelled out, leading the humans out of the room, right before a bright, blinding light appeared, so bright, it seared skin off of weak-skinned beings.

'Samuel, zere is a teleporter here. Take zese dumpkoffs to ze device, set it to Canterlot, NOW!!!'

"Right Ed, I'll do it!"

"Who the hell are you talking too?" Taskmaster asked.

"Oh, umm... hey, follow me!"

'Oh ja, zat vill vork.'

The humans had no reason to argue, and followed. Light filled the rooms as Apollo drew closer.

Soon enough, they ended up in a room, with the symbol on the wall.

"Wait, there's that symbol here!" Dempsey yelled.

"Group 935." Takeo muttered silently.

"Hey, look, a thingy. Get on it!" Samuel yelled, pointing to the large teleporter.

"A teleporter!" Samantha yelled.

"Get on it! Haul ass!" Dempsey ran to the teleporter, along with the others. Richtofen soon took over control, and entered in commands.

"Wait, you didn't seem so smart. What the hell happened to you?"

"Well, let just say..." Samuel spoke, before Richtofen took control, and activated the device.

"...I've learned."

Takeo, Samantha and Dempsey widened their eyes, and yelled in near unison.

"RICHTOFEN!!!"

A flash made the eighteen humans disappear. He would take care of Samantha later, as well as Dempsey. Right now, Dr. Maxis' threat was coming, the base in the frozen north had a cloning station. It had the DNA of the old crew, Dempsey, Takeo, Nikolai and himself.

Dr. Maxis had one himself, hidden from the others, and he was back. He was building, using the undead.

Ready to destroy this world.

Apollo came in, rage clear on his face. Edward was willing to face his doom.

Just not today. He always had a plan, as hasty as they were. He flipped a switch, and threw a device.

"What is..."

A black hole was summoned and Edward jumped in. The teleporter itself imploded due to a code Richtofen entered. In a matter of seconds, Richtofen, the means of getting to and from Canterlot, and several dozen of his own troops, gone. Apollo threw his head into the air, and gave mighty yell. One so mighty, and area above the ground heard his yell.

"What was that?" Chief Thunderhooves asked.

"I... do not know." One of buffalo replied.

The two merely remained silent, and charged through the apple fields of Appleloosa.

Celestia was pacing back and forth. Recently, a spell was casted, switching the cutie marks of the Elements of Harmony themselves. The humans who saw this happen rushed to Canterlot with this message. This compounded on top of Richtofen and Apollo.

She was becoming fearful, desperate, hopeless.

A loud sound, coming from...

"The vault..."

"Hey, Tia, what was that sound?" David yelled to the princess.

"That came from a secret room, under the palace."

"Let us go there then." Nikolai said, cocking his FAL.

The thirteen went down, with Celestia taking point.

They came to a false wall, a spell was cast, and a door appeared. The eleven humans and twili aimed their weapons at the door, Cage with his shadow powers, Link with his Hero's Bow, Midna with her true power, Harry and Hagrid with there wands, and the others with guns. Celestia opened the door, and let the group in.

"It is almost time Richtofen, and soon, you will pay for taking my Samantha away from me."
