Once after the Lightning Seven's wacky time in Equestria they had finally returned to their home world of Terra-glacies, a world of science, magic and insanity, it seemed like all their wish had come true and everything was finally going to get back to normal, THAT would be correct if their new equestrian friends happened to come along with them as they were taking their enemy Lord Jaggor back to prison. Funny how things just seem happen. But it wasn't enjoyable for the Lightning Seven as it was for Princess Celestia and the main six. The Lightning’s home world Terra-glacies wasn’t anything at all like Equestria. A desolate refugee planet turned gigantic metropolis of a planet full of criminals, psychopaths, and other kinds of merciless creatures from different corners of the universe. Despite being full of evil, few of the planets denizens were actually on the side of good. But when the Lightning Seven and their ponies were called upon a completely unknown group of heroes to help them in their dire time of need, and they couldn’t help but accept the teams offer of help. Their heroics would be eventually remembered by the entire planet but in the hearts and minds of those who didn't even know of the danger coming for their somewhat peaceful planet. This team known as the Mollusk Crushers needed all the help they needed for their dwindling resistance. Sir Slicer the bringer of peace, was the leader of the Crushers and despite being out of the game of leader from his old group of avian knights, he had a very sharp sense of bravery. His robotic Jumpstart ruled the roads and always turned the playing field in their teams favor. An lightning manipulating beast known as Lightning Scale was soon to follow them with sparkling enthusiasm. As the team grew so did its needs in technology, the cyber bug Buzzer may have been a lanky crack pot conspirator, but he was able to bring his expertise to the group in using the actual world to ones advantage. His friend the sharpshooting Hawk Eye came along; even though he was more of a lone wolf, the skeletal bird worked as the interrogator and investigator for the team. The team grew as its needs did. Tarlok joined when he heard about their exploits from afar. Though mute, his dark connections of the planet could make even the toughest Terra-glacian to cry in fear. The forester Charger and Glido soon came to join them with their brute force and wisdom helped bring the team to victory. Finally, Snaggletooth joined on the groups adventure. The cross-breed pyromaniac gave the entire group a fiery intention for assistance in their journey. The Lightning Seven and the ponies met this group after they were hired by an old foe named Thunder Buster hired them to help take out her employer named Mollusk. On their way they had a smashing meeting with the Crushers, they realized they had a common target of this Mollusk character. It was necessary for them to join forces if not they entire planet would be taken over by a robotic uprising; not only on Terra-glacies but most likely Equestria as well. Together in a leaderless group the Terra-glacians and Equestrians all trekked through the dangerous planet to defeat a growing, ever powerful mechanical menace once and for all. The travel though was long for the Crushers and the Lightnings, but it was extremely excruciating for Twilight and the others. They dealt with things they wish they would never have to deal with again such as freaky Broadway ghouls, murderous indigenous Dingodiles, a casino rumble with rodent gang members, and even a treacherous Blueblood who believed the group had corrupted Equestrian soil with their mere presence. Eventually they reached their goal: Mollusk Industries. The robot producing facility lead by the artificially heartless robot conveniently named Mollusk dreamt of a ever perfect world filled with nothing but robots obeying his every command. He was a determined machine who took over the entire facility and reformed it into a sick twisted version of its former self. Mollusk took innocent creatures and turned into his robotic slaves, day in and day out he was obsessed with robotics like a watch maker who tirelessly measured mere fractions of seconds or a mathematician who tries to square the circle. He would do almost anything to make his dream of a perfect robotic paradise a reality even if it meant almost killing our equine visitors. But like the heroes they were the Lightning Seven help bring the menace down almost killing themselves in the process. But when the area collapsed everyone believed they were dead since the never returned from the wreckage, but when they reappeared it was a joyous occasion for all of them. Eventually the group had made it possible for the ponies to return to their more peaceful world. With both worlds now at peace and our heroes somewhat restless who knows what will happen if the two races shall ever collide once again. Though the two world had communicated through the teleportation device that started it all using letters to tell each other what had happened. Twilight had told them about Tirek and the destruction of the library, and the Crushers and the Lightning had both told them about their various adventures throughout Terra-glacies. Though they were good friends they shouldn't stay pen pals forever but what choice did they really have. They ponies really didn't want to return to the danger filled planet and the Terra-glacians couldn't power the teleportation device for round trips to Equestria. It seemed hopeless for our two planets to ever intertwine again. But as fate would have it something within the machine made the possibility a reality for back and forth trips. One can only dream of the endless possibilities that will happen when these three groups of heroes meet up again. Story Arc 1 part 1: An omenCanterlot, once a town for the highest class of pony society and now it lays in ruins. No one saw it coming from a mile away as Lord Jaggor came bustling in with robotic army and began to ravage the town. "Let no organic breathing your collection of tin cans!" The tyrannical feline yelled as he marched throughout the town. It seemed like all of his idiocy was replaced with diabolical genius as he spoke with complete malice and determination as he ran towards what seemed like Ponyville. "We got a little score to settle you multicolored glue bottles!" He yelled in anger as he slashed his claws in the air. "If we beat you once we'll do it again!" Twilight said as she fired a laser towards a Obliterator clone causing chunk of metallic shrapnel to fly everywhere. Pretty soon Twilight and her friends ran towards the army of robots, but it ended in complete failure. All of Twilights friends fell one by one at the metallic hands of the robots. "No... how is this possible?" Twilight said dumbstruck as her friends were wiped out so quickly. "Isn't it obvious?" Lord Jaggor said as he walked ever so slowly towards Twilight. "Without the Loser Seven defending ya, we just waltzed right in. They could've had helped you, but instead they abandoned you." "That's not true; no matter what they're heroes." Twilight said as he stood her ground from the cybernetic feline. "If that's so, then where is your precious Lightning Seven now?" Jaggor asked sarcastically as he lifted his foot above her head before coming down hard on his stomp. "GAAAHHH!!" Twilight screamed in fright as she had awoken from a very realistic nightmare, "It was only a bad dream." She told herself as she panted heavily. "Twilight, is everything okay?" Twilights assistant Spike asked as he entered Twilight's bedroom. "It is now Spike." She said as came up and hugged the little dragon, "Why are you up anyway?" she asked. "I couldn't sleep, and I was starting to think about those Lightning guys." Spike replied. "Well, I think we might have to call them." Twilight said. "Why?" Spike asked. "I had a dream where that Jaggor guy came back to Equestria and he..." Twilight tried to finish her sentence but then just broke down to tears. Spike saw this quickly and tried his best to comfort her. "I think we have to summon them, that dream was a sign saying we're gonna need them." "How that teleportation thing they made wont work." Spike said in confusion. "I think I got an idea, but for now lets try to get some sleep." Twilight said as she tried to position herself into a comfortable position. Meanwhile back on Terra-glacies "Hey how long has it been since the last attack?" Jumpstart asked Scalor as he emerged from the garage wondering how long it was since the last villain tried attacking Whiplash. "Ten months." Scalor said flatly as he moved around on his boredom couch trying to entertain himself. "Cheer up guys like time or dried peach pits this boredom streak shall pass." Buzzer said as he tinkered with a toaster. "Guys come quick the teleportation device is acting up!" Circuit Breaker said as his arms moved sporadically. "Lemme guess it's actually on?" Razor asked sarcastically. "Actually yeah it is." Circuit Breakers said as he showed both the Crushers an the Lightnings the machine generating a yellowish glow. "Well dip me in gravy and call me dog food." Hawk Eye said as he observe the machine working after months of being inactive. Soon a feminine voice started to come from the other side of the portal. "Guys! Are you there?" The voice asked hoping that someone was on the other side. "Who is this?" Tarlok asked. "Tarlok it's me Twilight!" The voice yelled. "AAAGH! The portal ate Twilight!" Kooker yelled in fear as he hid behind Slash like he usually does when he gets scared. "No it didn't, and even if it did it would be impossible; anyway I managed to make the machine work again." Twilight said explaining the reason why the machine was working. "Why are you calling us?" Outlook asked out of curiosity. "Long story short I think Equestria might need you guys." Twilight replied sounding concerned. "Well the other Crushers and I would like to see this 'Equestria' and see if what it looks like, and maybe it will look better than the description in the letters." Sir Slicer said as he started to grab his equipment. "Good, because I think we might need all of you." Twilight said, "Now hurry I don't know how long the portal will last." "You heard the Sheila, let's get moving!" Snaggletooth said as he tried to stuff his flamethrower into the portal. Soon enough everyone was trying to stuff themselves into the machine, but to no avail. Soon enough they were all calling each other names as the tried to go through the portal, this was awkward for a while until Jumpstart decided to just push them through it. To the Crushers Equestria looked exactly like it did in the letters, it had looked like an old village back on Terra-glacies that hadn't been affected by the insanity of the planet. As the gang looked around a familiar purple alicorn popped up and hugged them all. "Oh, I'm so glad to see you guys again." Twilight said as she began to cry. "Calm down bookie, you're acting like we died or something." Razor said trying to pry herself free from Twilights hug. "Well..." Twilight said looking crestfallen as she tried to finish her sentence. The group saw this and then figured out why she summoned them, "Please follow me to the castle." And with that she flew off towards the large crystallic tree within Ponyville. Story Arc 1 part 2: Welcome back to Equestria"And that's why we need your help." Twilight said as she finished explaining why the Lightnings and the Crushers were needed holding back her emotions before breaking down in a sea of sadness. Slash saw this and tried to calm her down like he did whenever his brother was sad, "It's alright Twilight we're here now." "Thank you Slash, you don't know how much that means to me." Twilight said as she wiped away tears with her hoof. "Who is this 'Lord Jaggor' fellow anyway?" Lightning Scale asked as Twilight had never actually explained who he was to the Crushers. "He's an old foe of ours." Scalor said, "He has this deal with robots, he actually followed us here and tried taking us and the girls here out." "Oh my, that is bad." Charger said somewhat cowering from the story. "And so you called us just to be like permanent body guards?" Outlook asked. "Pretty much, and I told my friends about this so be ready too meet them later on." Twilight said trying to get over the moment. "It's been so long since I've seen Fluttershy, I cant wait to see her again." Tarlok said in glee hoping to see his little yellow friend again. "In due time guys, but for now I think you should stat low until tomorrow." Twilight said in concern. "Lemme guess, Luna is hunting us down like animals because she still hates us after the whole Waffle Hut incident?" Circuit Breaker asked. "How did you know?" Twilight asked completely confused. "I had a hunch." Scalor said as his robotic eyes turned yellow thinking that Luna was still mad at them. Meanwhile in Canterlot Princess Luna was pacing the floor in her room as various crudely drawn pictures of the Lightning Seven hung around the room with throwing darts piercing them, "If those freaks wanna try and get me again we'll shall see what happens." Back at the tree castle "So why do the Crushers look different from what me and the girls had seen?" Twilight asked as she noticed some noticeable changes towards the group such as Buzzer wearing a lab coat, and Lightning Scale wearing a vest with various comedy buttons. "You'd be surprised how people change when they are their regular selves." Hawk Eye said as his fingers tapped his skull. "You know Twilight I have to say, this place ROCKS!" Lightning Scale said trying to make a joke work about the castle, but only proved Hawk Eyes statement more than what he had already did. "Hi guys!" a certain pink pony said coming as if out of thin air greeting the alien visitors. "Pinkie how did you get here?" Jumpstart asked as his engines revved due to the startling. "I walked over." Pinkie responded in the way she usually responds to questions. "Anyway why are you here?" Twilight asked. "I heard that our pals came back so I wanted to throw them a 'Welcome back to Equestria our fair alien friends we really missed you party'!" "Well pink one that is very appreciated, but where would we do such celebration?" Buzzer asking somewhat concerned. "I planned ahead for that." Pinkie said as she pulled out her patented party canon and fired out a literal party out into a segment of the castle. To the gangs team it was an amazing party complete with punch and cookies. "Welcome back Lightning Seven and resistance!" Pinkie shouted in joy. "Actually we go by the 'Crushers' now Pinkie Pie." Hawk Eye said taking his bandana off from his beak. "That's even cooler!" Pinkie yelled in happiness hearing that the team had gotten an official name. "Well it's nice to feel welcome here." Charger said as he fed Glido a cookie. "I'm just glad we wont have to deal with Luna." Scalor said replenishing his hydroelectric fuel engine by drinking the punch. "Uh, you guys are going to have to." Twilight said sheepishly. "Aw come on, she hates us." Scalor said as he drooped down to the floor. "Well sooner or later you're gonna have to deal with her whether you like it or not." Twilight said annoyed that her cybernetic friend was acting like a five year old. "Fine, but when she starts attacking us and says that she wants our head on pikes don't come crying to us since we would most likely be dead." Scalor replied acting like a doofus. "Come on what's the worst that could possibly happen man?" Jumpstart asked. "We could always apologize Scalor, maybe she'll lighten up if we say sorry." Dice said as he tugged on his arm in order to get his attention. "Okay, but if it fails then I was right." Scalor said crossing his arms. "Well we better get ready soon, The others are expecting us soon at the Crystal Empire." Twilight said as she made her way towards the exit. "Wait, the what?" Kooker asked. "This place my sister in-law rules over." Twilight explained. "Yeah the place is shiny, pretty, clear and it has some of the best flugelhorns." Pinkie said remembering all of the things she had experienced over her time visiting the place. "Well this shall be an exhilarating new experience for us all to see this 'Crystal Empire' as the afternoon sun shines upon it." Sir Slicer said as he clasped his gauntlets together in pure joy. "well what are we waiting for? Lets go!" Scalor said in a voice of joy. Circuit Breaker heard Scalor's mood change dramatically so he had to interject, "But what about you saying..." "Forget what I said, let's go." Scalor said walking out of the castle. "My instincts say this may en in disaster." Dice said as he walked up to Circuit Breaker. Story Arc 1 part 3: Meeting old and new friendsOn the train ride over to the Crystal Empire the group had more time to knowing the new Crusher more and more; especially since Sir Slicer would not shut up for five minutes. "There was also this one time where we were stuck inside of a Skeletasaurus for two days, but then it fell apart and we lost Hawk Eye for at least a week." The knight said continuing one of the Crushers various adventures. "He can be a real chatterbox, am I right?" Charger asked quietly as he nudged Pinkie Pie. "It's nice to see you guys completely different from when we first met ya." Pinkie said as she giggled. "Well it's nice to finally return back to our regular lives." Hawk Eye said getting comfortable on the trains seats. "Next stop, the Crystal Empire!" The conductor yelled as the train began to slow down. "Great we're here!" Twilight said with glee as she got off of her seat. Soon the others followed and saw what the area actually looked like. It was if the entire place was made out of large crystal spires, and the enormous size of it all was more than awe-inspiring for the most of them. All but Razor and Buzzer who were acting like they were scared of walking around the place. "Why are you two acting weird?" Twilight asked the two. "This place reminds us of the Corrosive crystal fields, but there aren't any pools of acid around here." Buzzer said flying about three feet above the ground hoping that no crystal spire would just pop out of the ground. Besides those two the rest of the group looked around the place all seemed boring, but they happened to walk towards a group of familiar faces. "Guys!" The group of ponies yelled and soon both groups were in one huge hugging festival. It had been a great time for both groups seeing each others faces once again. "It's great to see you guys again." Tarlok exclaimed as he stretched his arms in order to hug everyone. "Same here big guy." Rainbow Dash said. "Oh what a glorious day it has been already, first seeing this glorious place and now meeting dear old friends once again." Sir Slicer said as he jumped around like a school girl. "Y'all sure have changed since the last time we saw each other." Applejack said noticing how the serious versions of the Crushers were replaced with all the versions the all saw. Everything was going fine until a sudden chill in air which caused Scalor to shiver in fear. As he and the others turned he saw that Princess Luna had Just arrived to where the group was hugging. "Hello Lightnings." She said with a hint of malice in her tone. "Hello Luna." Scalor replied walking up to the blue princess. "Before you say anything we're sorry." "Sorry?" Luna questioned, "Sorry for nearly killing me and scarring my nephew to the brink of a fear induced isolation?!" "Told you it wouldn't work." Scalor whispered towards Circuit Breaker and Twilight. "Well, I see you can hold a grudge." Luna saw this as an insult and retaliated, "And I can see your kind-" "Our kind?" Scalor yelled cutting Luna short. "Yes, the kind of creatures that abduct dear citizens and nearly killed them?" Luna continued bringing up old memories. "Stop fighting, the both of you!" Twilight yelled trying to stop the bickering. "Of course Twilight." Scalor said calming himself down. "Don't try playing coy with me fish, you and your collection of freaks are just acting nice so Twilight Sparkle doesn't see the truth." Luna yelled trying to give the Terra-glacians a bad name. "I got my eye on you all." She said as she flew off into the clear blue sky. "Twilight, you came." A feminine voice coming from a pink alicorn yelled as it flew down from the giant building in the center of the city. "Cadence!" Twilight said galloping towards he pink pony. "Guys I like you all to meet my sister in-law Princess Cadence." "The pleasure is ours your majesty." Sir Slicer and Dice both said simultaneously a they bowed towards Cadence. "Well Twilight you ever told me you friends were so polite." Cadence said to Twilight as they both looked at the collection of aliens standing before them. "Well I want to thank you all for visiting my fair kingdom, and Now I would be delighted if you come with me for some chit chat." Meanwhile somewhere else in Equestria In the skies above a desolate wasteland a fiery comet was falling down fast. With a large explosion dirt was flung and plants were burned as what appeared to be a large metallic sphere with a broken gear insignia. "At last I'm free." The lanky feline said as a robotic hum came with every word spoken. "Lord Jaggor are you sure this is the correct planet those idiotic ponies?" A metallic bird like entity asked the feline. "Of course it is Blade Wing, according to Tenta-box's analyzer this is the right planet." Jaggor replied as his left claw showed a hologram of the planet showing that the planet did harbor his equine enemies he had dealt with before. "Obliterator want crush tiny ponies and Lightning Seven!" A large robot yelled as it clenched its fists in anger. "In due time my dear ally but now the bossss musssst think of a plan." A serpent android said. "Those fools will pay for making a fool out of me." Lord Jaggor said as he rubbed his metal claws together. Things were about to turn for the worst for not only the Lightning Seven, but it looked like Twilights nightmares were about to come true. Story Arc 1 part 4: The planLord Jaggor and his collection of mechanical minions were wandering around the wasteland busy hauling around things building some large contraption. "Hurry team, we must commence our operation for revenge!" The cybernetic feline shouted as he slammed his claws against a rock. "Obliterator want go in and small them all!!!" The towering behemoth yelled as he pounded what was left of the escape pod into scrap metal. "Watch where you're sssmashing you overgrown garbage disposal!" The serpent robot yelled as he grabbed the scrap that fell down. "Stop it with the hissing Slicor!" A rhino robot yelled in irritation. "Rampage stop it!" A octopus robot in a mechanical suit said in a monotone mechanical voice, "Now if you could be so kind, help me with hauling supplies." "Fine Tenta-box." The rhino said in irritation as he moved over towards the octopus to do what he was asked to do. "Soon my comrades we will become an indestructible force of destruction." Lord Jaggor said rubbing his claws together as he walked though the wasteland wielding some tools. "Do you honestly think that this plan will actually work?" Blade Wing asked sarcastically as he brought over supplies towards Jaggor. "What makes you say that?" Jaggor asked as he worked on a metal frame. "Well with all the other failures we have dealt with in the past I highly doubt we're going to actually win!" Blade Wing yelled as he grabbed Jaggor hoping to shake some sense into his thick skull. "This time shall be different." Jaggor replied. "That's what you said the last five thousand times we failed in attacking." Blade Wing yelled wandering around a small patch of land knowing that his leader was a moron and he needed to address the problem more than he had the other previous times that this situation has happened, "Day in and day out we go through the same things, but damn it you need to know we're always going to lose it's in the stars themselves saying that we are going to lose no matter how much we try!". As if by an unwanted miracle Jaggor had actually heard what Blade Wing was yelling at him. With all the countless time of his failures due to the Lightning Seven running through his mind he noticed that he was right the whole time; it was just his ignorance and pride that blinded him from actually acknowledging it in his brain. Soon enough when he was remembering all the times Blade Wing had told him about the constant failing he began to change; His breathing deepened more and his cybernetic eye begins to glow bright red as he began to slouch into a way that some of the robots began to cower behind rocks. "Hey boss, are you alright?" The mechanical crab named Pin-sar asked nervously. "Ah yes Pin-sar I am fine." Jaggor said softly as he moved closely towards whatever what was left of the cruiser and slashed it to pieces. Everyone saw he want acting like the way he usually did and found him completely disturbing. "Why are you acting like this?" Blade Wing asked thinking that he took the yelling bit too far this time. "You helped me see past my ignorance, and now I feel like a new cat." Jaggor said as he breathed heavily, "This plan will actually work better than all the other times my plans." "Well what is it?" Tenta-box asked wondering what the plan was. "Well I decided to create a war machine that can protect itself as it destroys anything in its path." Jaggor replied as he carried some scrap metal over to the large metallic frame, "I'm planning on installing generators into the machine that can create drones that can infiltrate and attack." "That actually sssoundssss like a good plan." Slicor said as he slithered towards the work site. "How would you get the drone bases installed when there seems to be only enough metal for the actual machine?" Tenta-box asked. "I decided to have my scan converter machines do the work along with these blueprints for other robot ideas that I had." Jaggor said as he showed his mechanical team a large machine that resembled a copy machine, and schematics of robotic mosquitos, dinosaurs, and crocodiles with arm blasters, "Not only will they protect the machine, but double as our army." "Now this is the tyrannical Jaggor I remember." Blade Wing said as artificial tears ran down his face. "Yes, now we can get this party started." Jaggor said before laughing maniacally. "What do you want us to do my lord?" All eight of Jaggors minions asked as they saluted in a uniformed fashion. "All I need you all to do is locate the mines of where I had created you all." Jaggor replied, "I got some business to attend to with the machine." "You got it boss!" The robots exclaimed as they all ran off into the distance. With that Jaggor began to work on the creation of his dreams. "Soon Scalor, soon you and those idiotic pony friends of yours shall suffer the way I had all those years back on Terra-glacies." Jaggor said as he grabbed his various tools and began to weld the metal onto the frame of his doomsday device. This time he really meant business with his bloodlust filled intentions, "I will make the Lightning Seven pay, I'll make them all pay with their lives." Truly he was out to see the fall of his enemies, and with his insanity restored there was nothing that was going to stop him and his mechanical army from reaching that goal. Author's Note Holy hell this took a while. Sorry I haven't been updating in a while I cant get myself really motivated to write for any of my stories, I hope you can all understand and appreciate what I try to do: making an engaging story. Story Arc 1 part 5: The secretAfter the little meet and greet at the Crystal Empire, the large group of heroes were walking around Ponyville. Circuit Breaker was acting quite strange though as he began scavenging around the town for things for a project he told the others was top secret. "Circuit Breaker are you sure you're feeling alright?" Twilight asked frightened seeing her mole friend act like complete a maniac. "Of course!" Circuit Breaker exclaimed. "Why wouldn't I be?" Circuit Breaker Replied as he dumped his supplies in a clearing. "Well you've been acting weird acting ever since we got on the train from the Crystal Empire." Twilight said as Circuit zoomed around looking for some blue prints he drew up on the train ride. Soon he began laughing as he began to bring out supplies from the portal between Equestria and Terra-glacies. "Hey four eyes!" Razor yelled as she ran over towards all the commotion, "Shouldn't you get help from Buzz boy?" "Of course not Razor, he'll just keep asking questions on why this project is a secret. I have to keep my work tucked away until it's done!" Circuit sad as he worked on his stuff, "Now if you could hand me that portable lab cube I'll be in secrecy until the project is done." Soon Inside Twilights castle, the air was tense. Circuit Breakers twenty one friends were very concerned for their tech savvy moles very being as he became isolated from his friends very quickly. "He's acting weird guys, soon he'll just be a former shell a the scientist he is." Twilight said concerned for the little guy. "Well I tried to get to him, but all he keeps saying is 'No time I must work! Could you get me some food though?'" Buzzer said as he played a recording of Circuit Breaker. "It must be something big." Scalor said, "Last time he ever did something like this was that teleporter machine." "What could be more big than that thing?" Rainbow asked the remaining Lightnings, thinking that they were acting a bit to relaxed for their own good. "Trust us Rainbow, when ever that little guy gets his brain working on an idea he won't stop till it's done." Hawk Eye said acting as if Circuits craziness was just as normal as breathing. Pretty soon as they all started to argue, Circuit Breaker came in and everyone was surprised, "Dude!" Scalor yelled walking near his pal, "That's the shortest time you ever done this sorta thing." All of what Circuit did was completely ignore his friends and walked up towards the six mares. "May I have a strand of your hair ladies?" The mole asked as he held up six baggies with the names of the ponies on each one. Completely confused they did what he asked, "Before any of you ask this is for the project." Circuit said running out of the room. "Okay now he's full blown loco." Razor said, "And he was crazy enough to begin with." "Okay now he really needs a intervention." Rarity said as she looked at her friends now more concerned for Circuit than she ever was before. "Come one we gotta see him." Scalor said running outside. "Circuit Breaker!!!" The group yelled as they ran towards his makeshift lab as he opened the doors. "Yes?" Circuit Breaker asked as if he was back to his normal self. "We need to talk to you about your problem." Twilight said concerned. "What problem?" He asked, "My work is done!" "What?" They all yelled in utter confusion. "Yeah the DNA samples were all I needed to complete it." Circuit said wiping his forehead with a cloth, "Come in, come see them." The team looked at each other to see what their friend meant by what he said and just decided to walk into the mini lab. To the groups surprise they saw six machines standing before them with their heads lowered down. "What in tarnation are these things?" Applejack said as she rubbed her eyes in amazement. "Behold my answer towards Jaggor defense." Circuit said giggling like a school girl, "I present to you the Dino-Pony Warriors!" "What are you calling them that?" Pinkie asked, "They look more like Buzzer and Lightning Scale tossed in a blender." "Well like I said, the hair samples I took were what I needed to fully create them." Circuit Breaker said as he walked towards a power console turning on all six machines. "What is your commands father?" One of the robots asked. To everyone's shock the robot sounded exactly like Twilight. "How is this possible?" The actual Twilight screamed in both confusion and fear. "The hair" Circuit explained, "The hair gives these robots their personalities and with the memories I placed into their memory banks, they know they are meant for good." "Then what's up with the 'dino' part?" Twilight asked. "Watch this." Circuit said, "Team transform!" With that the six robots turned into six various dinosaurs. Each one of them roared in their own robotic reptilian voices possibly communicating to one another. "This is the coolest thing I ever seen from ya short stack." Rainbow said giving Circuit a pat on the back, "But why did the Twilight one call you 'dad'?" "To be honest, I don't know. I guess since I created them, and the fact they're more sentient than all my other machines." Circuit said coming up with a possible answer to the situation. For the rest of the day the robots learned from their creators friends and became aware of the fact they're one of the creations Circuit Breaker has ever given life. That day was one of Jurassic proportions. Story Arc 1 part 6 RevealmentsIt was a bright and early morning as Spike walked into Twilights bedroom, "Good morning Twilight." But as he walked in he saw that the room was completely ransacked. He was terrified as he saw the torn curtains, shattered pottery and broken furniture gave Spike a terrifying conclusion that she was kidnapped. With great speed the purple dragon rushed out of the castle to find the Lightnings and Crushers. When he was completely out of ideas he resorted to shouting, "Guys where are you!" "We're right behind you little dude." Scalor said poking Spike making him turn around. "Guys I need you at the castle, it's really important!" Spike said as he tried pushing the group, but ended up literary falling flat on his face. "This is gonna take a while." Razor said slapping herself with her wing. Later at the castle When the group finally got to the castle they saw that Princess Luna, Princess Celestia and a handful of guards were already at the scene of the crime investigating what had happened. "We don't need your help you freaks, we have the situation under control." Luna said trying to push the group out as fast as she could. "Luna! Spike asked for our help, we have a right to help out here!" Jumpstart yelled pushing himself into the room. Soon the group began to bicker with the night princess until Kooker broke it up. "Wait!" Kooker yelled as he began to sniff the area like a blood hound. "Hey, look! Kooker is trying to tell us something." Slash said figuring out what his little brother was doing. "What is it bro?" He asked, but all what Kooker did was using hand gestures and act out stuff. "I believe he's doing charades." Hawk Eye said. "Oh boy I love charades." Scalor said as he began to clap his fins in joy. Charger began to decipher what the chameleon was trying to say, "Lets see, Twilight and the others..." "Are stored?" Tarlok asked, but Kooker nodded his his head for 'no'. "Imprisoned?" Buzzer asked followed by Kooker nodding for 'yes'. "By Lord Jaggor, Twilight and the others are imprisoned by Lord Jaggor!" Lightning Scale yelled figuring out the thing as kooker began to clap signifying that he was right.. "How did you know that?" Celestia asked confused by how they could understand Kooker so easily. "He's smarter than you think." Slash said petting his little brother, "That and the fact there is the Jagged Nine insignia on the wall." He said pointing towards the back wall with a broken gear symbol above Twilights bed. "Oi! I think there is a clue to our little problem." Snaggletooth said as he found a small machine as he pushed a button to reveal a hologram of Lord Jaggor. "Greetings whoever might find this, I lord Jaggor have captured Princess Twilight and her little friends." The malicious cat said as he showed the six ponies in shackles. "Help!" Twilight screamed in pain as she and the others tried to struggle their way out. "Silence you waste of space!" Jaggor yelled in anger trying to keep the mares in line, "Now if you want to see your friends back all you have to do is just sit back and surrender to me or you'll have to deal with my war machine." Jaggor said as he revealed a hologram of a green, purple, and orange robotic suit with a claw arm and energy cannon arm demonstrating what it could do. Jaggor soon began to laugh manically as the hologram ended. "If that freak thinks he can just attack the lives of this world he'll have to deal with me." Luna said in anger as she breathed heavily, "You all stay out of my way, you've brought this problem upon us and I must fix what you caused." She said pointing towards the Lightnings direction thinking that all what was going on was all their fault. "Wait your majesty! This fight is more dangerous than you think." Dice said blocking the door preventing Luna or anyone else from leaving. "How would you know?" Luna asked annoyed she was just letting a platypus just block her way. "I've known him long before any of you all." Dice confessed lowering his head sounding both scared and sorrowful. "What?!?" They all asked in confusion as Dice had never talked about his blindness to anyone. Dice sighed and decided to fully confess, "Long ago back on Terra-glacies in my home village when I was a child, I was playing with my family when Lord Jaggor came and attacked the entire village. I tried to fight him back by clawing his face, but in the end he threw me to the ground and with one swipe of his claws he blinded me leaving me alone in a unforgiving world." Dice soon removed his helmet and sash to reveal a set of claw marks across his eyes. Celestia soon walked towards him and gave him a hug with her wings, "I never knew you had dealt with so much." She said beginning to choke up on her emotions. "It's fine your majesty, what is done is done." Dice said putting his sash over his eyes again knowing he could not change the past, "The Jaggor that was on that hologram sounded like the same Jaggor I dealt with back then." He said explaining what could possibly happening again. "Dice, I didn't know that actually happened to you." Razor said in shock, "No wonder you always wanted to take out Jaggor every time we had the chance." "We must up our arsenal in order to stop this mad cat from causing any more damage." Dice said walking out to do who knows what. "Our blind friend is right!" Sir Slicer said grabbing his sword, "We must take the fight to the enemy and bring home our dear friends." "Agreed, we gotta teach that scrap brain a lesson." Hawk Eye said cracking his knuckles. "No you will not!" Luna yelled, "You and your kind have caused enough trouble." "Luna please." Celestia said stopping Luna from continuing bashing the Lightnings, "Despite my sisters naysaying, we would be grateful if you helped us." "Thank you Princess Celestia." Scalor said as he bowed his head in respect, "Alright guys we got ourselves a fight to win."
Another trip down Memory LaneIt all started with a portal to yet another world. Once after the Lightning Seven's wacky time in Equestria they had finally returned to their home world of Terra-glacies, a world of science, magic and insanity, it seemed like all their wish had come true and everything was finally going to get back to normal, THAT would be correct if their new equestrian friends happened to come along with them as they were taking their enemy Lord Jaggor back to prison. Funny how things just seem happen. But it wasn't enjoyable for the Lightning Seven as it was for Princess Celestia and the main six. The Lightning’s home world Terra-glacies wasn’t anything at all like Equestria. A desolate refugee planet turned gigantic metropolis of a planet full of criminals, psychopaths, and other kinds of merciless creatures from different corners of the universe. Despite being full of evil, few of the planets denizens were actually on the side of good. But when the Lightning Seven and their ponies were called upon a completely unknown group of heroes to help them in their dire time of need, and they couldn’t help but accept the teams offer of help. Their heroics would be eventually remembered by the entire planet but in the hearts and minds of those who didn't even know of the danger coming for their somewhat peaceful planet. This team known as the Mollusk Crushers needed all the help they needed for their dwindling resistance. Sir Slicer the bringer of peace, was the leader of the Crushers and despite being out of the game of leader from his old group of avian knights, he had a very sharp sense of bravery. His robotic Jumpstart ruled the roads and always turned the playing field in their teams favor. An lightning manipulating beast known as Lightning Scale was soon to follow them with sparkling enthusiasm. As the team grew so did its needs in technology, the cyber bug Buzzer may have been a lanky crack pot conspirator, but he was able to bring his expertise to the group in using the actual world to ones advantage. His friend the sharpshooting Hawk Eye came along; even though he was more of a lone wolf, the skeletal bird worked as the interrogator and investigator for the team. The team grew as its needs did. Tarlok joined when he heard about their exploits from afar. Though mute, his dark connections of the planet could make even the toughest Terra-glacian to cry in fear. The forester Charger and Glido soon came to join them with their brute force and wisdom helped bring the team to victory. Finally, Snaggletooth joined on the groups adventure. The cross-breed pyromaniac gave the entire group a fiery intention for assistance in their journey. The Lightning Seven and the ponies met this group after they were hired by an old foe named Thunder Buster hired them to help take out her employer named Mollusk. On their way they had a smashing meeting with the Crushers, they realized they had a common target of this Mollusk character. It was necessary for them to join forces if not they entire planet would be taken over by a robotic uprising; not only on Terra-glacies but most likely Equestria as well. Together in a leaderless group the Terra-glacians and Equestrians all trekked through the dangerous planet to defeat a growing, ever powerful mechanical menace once and for all. The travel though was long for the Crushers and the Lightnings, but it was extremely excruciating for Twilight and the others. They dealt with things they wish they would never have to deal with again such as freaky Broadway ghouls, murderous indigenous Dingodiles, a casino rumble with rodent gang members, and even a treacherous Blueblood who believed the group had corrupted Equestrian soil with their mere presence. Eventually they reached their goal: Mollusk Industries. The robot producing facility lead by the artificially heartless robot conveniently named Mollusk dreamt of a ever perfect world filled with nothing but robots obeying his every command. He was a determined machine who took over the entire facility and reformed it into a sick twisted version of its former self. Mollusk took innocent creatures and turned into his robotic slaves, day in and day out he was obsessed with robotics like a watch maker who tirelessly measured mere fractions of seconds or a mathematician who tries to square the circle. He would do almost anything to make his dream of a perfect robotic paradise a reality even if it meant almost killing our equine visitors. But like the heroes they were the Lightning Seven help bring the menace down almost killing themselves in the process. But when the area collapsed everyone believed they were dead since the never returned from the wreckage, but when they reappeared it was a joyous occasion for all of them. Eventually the group had made it possible for the ponies to return to their more peaceful world. With both worlds now at peace and our heroes somewhat restless who knows what will happen if the two races shall ever collide once again. Though the two world had communicated through the teleportation device that started it all using letters to tell each other what had happened. Twilight had told them about Tirek and the destruction of the library, and the Crushers and the Lightning had both told them about their various adventures throughout Terra-glacies. Though they were good friends they shouldn't stay pen pals forever but what choice did they really have. They ponies really didn't want to return to the danger filled planet and the Terra-glacians couldn't power the teleportation device for round trips to Equestria. It seemed hopeless for our two planets to ever intertwine again. But as fate would have it something within the machine made the possibility a reality for back and forth trips. One can only dream of the endless possibilities that will happen when these three groups of heroes meet up again.
Story Arc 1 part 1: An omenCanterlot, once a town for the highest class of pony society and now it lays in ruins. No one saw it coming from a mile away as Lord Jaggor came bustling in with robotic army and began to ravage the town. "Let no organic breathing your collection of tin cans!" The tyrannical feline yelled as he marched throughout the town. It seemed like all of his idiocy was replaced with diabolical genius as he spoke with complete malice and determination as he ran towards what seemed like Ponyville. "We got a little score to settle you multicolored glue bottles!" He yelled in anger as he slashed his claws in the air. "If we beat you once we'll do it again!" Twilight said as she fired a laser towards a Obliterator clone causing chunk of metallic shrapnel to fly everywhere. Pretty soon Twilight and her friends ran towards the army of robots, but it ended in complete failure. All of Twilights friends fell one by one at the metallic hands of the robots. "No... how is this possible?" Twilight said dumbstruck as her friends were wiped out so quickly. "Isn't it obvious?" Lord Jaggor said as he walked ever so slowly towards Twilight. "Without the Loser Seven defending ya, we just waltzed right in. They could've had helped you, but instead they abandoned you." "That's not true; no matter what they're heroes." Twilight said as he stood her ground from the cybernetic feline. "If that's so, then where is your precious Lightning Seven now?" Jaggor asked sarcastically as he lifted his foot above her head before coming down hard on his stomp. "GAAAHHH!!" Twilight screamed in fright as she had awoken from a very realistic nightmare, "It was only a bad dream." She told herself as she panted heavily. "Twilight, is everything okay?" Twilights assistant Spike asked as he entered Twilight's bedroom. "It is now Spike." She said as came up and hugged the little dragon, "Why are you up anyway?" she asked. "I couldn't sleep, and I was starting to think about those Lightning guys." Spike replied. "Well, I think we might have to call them." Twilight said. "Why?" Spike asked. "I had a dream where that Jaggor guy came back to Equestria and he..." Twilight tried to finish her sentence but then just broke down to tears. Spike saw this quickly and tried his best to comfort her. "I think we have to summon them, that dream was a sign saying we're gonna need them." "How that teleportation thing they made wont work." Spike said in confusion. "I think I got an idea, but for now lets try to get some sleep." Twilight said as she tried to position herself into a comfortable position. Meanwhile back on Terra-glacies "Hey how long has it been since the last attack?" Jumpstart asked Scalor as he emerged from the garage wondering how long it was since the last villain tried attacking Whiplash. "Ten months." Scalor said flatly as he moved around on his boredom couch trying to entertain himself. "Cheer up guys like time or dried peach pits this boredom streak shall pass." Buzzer said as he tinkered with a toaster. "Guys come quick the teleportation device is acting up!" Circuit Breaker said as his arms moved sporadically. "Lemme guess it's actually on?" Razor asked sarcastically. "Actually yeah it is." Circuit Breakers said as he showed both the Crushers an the Lightnings the machine generating a yellowish glow. "Well dip me in gravy and call me dog food." Hawk Eye said as he observe the machine working after months of being inactive. Soon a feminine voice started to come from the other side of the portal. "Guys! Are you there?" The voice asked hoping that someone was on the other side. "Who is this?" Tarlok asked. "Tarlok it's me Twilight!" The voice yelled. "AAAGH! The portal ate Twilight!" Kooker yelled in fear as he hid behind Slash like he usually does when he gets scared. "No it didn't, and even if it did it would be impossible; anyway I managed to make the machine work again." Twilight said explaining the reason why the machine was working. "Why are you calling us?" Outlook asked out of curiosity. "Long story short I think Equestria might need you guys." Twilight replied sounding concerned. "Well the other Crushers and I would like to see this 'Equestria' and see if what it looks like, and maybe it will look better than the description in the letters." Sir Slicer said as he started to grab his equipment. "Good, because I think we might need all of you." Twilight said, "Now hurry I don't know how long the portal will last." "You heard the Sheila, let's get moving!" Snaggletooth said as he tried to stuff his flamethrower into the portal. Soon enough everyone was trying to stuff themselves into the machine, but to no avail. Soon enough they were all calling each other names as the tried to go through the portal, this was awkward for a while until Jumpstart decided to just push them through it. To the Crushers Equestria looked exactly like it did in the letters, it had looked like an old village back on Terra-glacies that hadn't been affected by the insanity of the planet. As the gang looked around a familiar purple alicorn popped up and hugged them all. "Oh, I'm so glad to see you guys again." Twilight said as she began to cry. "Calm down bookie, you're acting like we died or something." Razor said trying to pry herself free from Twilights hug. "Well..." Twilight said looking crestfallen as she tried to finish her sentence. The group saw this and then figured out why she summoned them, "Please follow me to the castle." And with that she flew off towards the large crystallic tree within Ponyville.
Story Arc 1 part 2: Welcome back to Equestria"And that's why we need your help." Twilight said as she finished explaining why the Lightnings and the Crushers were needed holding back her emotions before breaking down in a sea of sadness. Slash saw this and tried to calm her down like he did whenever his brother was sad, "It's alright Twilight we're here now." "Thank you Slash, you don't know how much that means to me." Twilight said as she wiped away tears with her hoof. "Who is this 'Lord Jaggor' fellow anyway?" Lightning Scale asked as Twilight had never actually explained who he was to the Crushers. "He's an old foe of ours." Scalor said, "He has this deal with robots, he actually followed us here and tried taking us and the girls here out." "Oh my, that is bad." Charger said somewhat cowering from the story. "And so you called us just to be like permanent body guards?" Outlook asked. "Pretty much, and I told my friends about this so be ready too meet them later on." Twilight said trying to get over the moment. "It's been so long since I've seen Fluttershy, I cant wait to see her again." Tarlok said in glee hoping to see his little yellow friend again. "In due time guys, but for now I think you should stat low until tomorrow." Twilight said in concern. "Lemme guess, Luna is hunting us down like animals because she still hates us after the whole Waffle Hut incident?" Circuit Breaker asked. "How did you know?" Twilight asked completely confused. "I had a hunch." Scalor said as his robotic eyes turned yellow thinking that Luna was still mad at them. Meanwhile in Canterlot Princess Luna was pacing the floor in her room as various crudely drawn pictures of the Lightning Seven hung around the room with throwing darts piercing them, "If those freaks wanna try and get me again we'll shall see what happens." Back at the tree castle "So why do the Crushers look different from what me and the girls had seen?" Twilight asked as she noticed some noticeable changes towards the group such as Buzzer wearing a lab coat, and Lightning Scale wearing a vest with various comedy buttons. "You'd be surprised how people change when they are their regular selves." Hawk Eye said as his fingers tapped his skull. "You know Twilight I have to say, this place ROCKS!" Lightning Scale said trying to make a joke work about the castle, but only proved Hawk Eyes statement more than what he had already did. "Hi guys!" a certain pink pony said coming as if out of thin air greeting the alien visitors. "Pinkie how did you get here?" Jumpstart asked as his engines revved due to the startling. "I walked over." Pinkie responded in the way she usually responds to questions. "Anyway why are you here?" Twilight asked. "I heard that our pals came back so I wanted to throw them a 'Welcome back to Equestria our fair alien friends we really missed you party'!" "Well pink one that is very appreciated, but where would we do such celebration?" Buzzer asking somewhat concerned. "I planned ahead for that." Pinkie said as she pulled out her patented party canon and fired out a literal party out into a segment of the castle. To the gangs team it was an amazing party complete with punch and cookies. "Welcome back Lightning Seven and resistance!" Pinkie shouted in joy. "Actually we go by the 'Crushers' now Pinkie Pie." Hawk Eye said taking his bandana off from his beak. "That's even cooler!" Pinkie yelled in happiness hearing that the team had gotten an official name. "Well it's nice to feel welcome here." Charger said as he fed Glido a cookie. "I'm just glad we wont have to deal with Luna." Scalor said replenishing his hydroelectric fuel engine by drinking the punch. "Uh, you guys are going to have to." Twilight said sheepishly. "Aw come on, she hates us." Scalor said as he drooped down to the floor. "Well sooner or later you're gonna have to deal with her whether you like it or not." Twilight said annoyed that her cybernetic friend was acting like a five year old. "Fine, but when she starts attacking us and says that she wants our head on pikes don't come crying to us since we would most likely be dead." Scalor replied acting like a doofus. "Come on what's the worst that could possibly happen man?" Jumpstart asked. "We could always apologize Scalor, maybe she'll lighten up if we say sorry." Dice said as he tugged on his arm in order to get his attention. "Okay, but if it fails then I was right." Scalor said crossing his arms. "Well we better get ready soon, The others are expecting us soon at the Crystal Empire." Twilight said as she made her way towards the exit. "Wait, the what?" Kooker asked. "This place my sister in-law rules over." Twilight explained. "Yeah the place is shiny, pretty, clear and it has some of the best flugelhorns." Pinkie said remembering all of the things she had experienced over her time visiting the place. "Well this shall be an exhilarating new experience for us all to see this 'Crystal Empire' as the afternoon sun shines upon it." Sir Slicer said as he clasped his gauntlets together in pure joy. "well what are we waiting for? Lets go!" Scalor said in a voice of joy. Circuit Breaker heard Scalor's mood change dramatically so he had to interject, "But what about you saying..." "Forget what I said, let's go." Scalor said walking out of the castle. "My instincts say this may en in disaster." Dice said as he walked up to Circuit Breaker.
Story Arc 1 part 3: Meeting old and new friendsOn the train ride over to the Crystal Empire the group had more time to knowing the new Crusher more and more; especially since Sir Slicer would not shut up for five minutes. "There was also this one time where we were stuck inside of a Skeletasaurus for two days, but then it fell apart and we lost Hawk Eye for at least a week." The knight said continuing one of the Crushers various adventures. "He can be a real chatterbox, am I right?" Charger asked quietly as he nudged Pinkie Pie. "It's nice to see you guys completely different from when we first met ya." Pinkie said as she giggled. "Well it's nice to finally return back to our regular lives." Hawk Eye said getting comfortable on the trains seats. "Next stop, the Crystal Empire!" The conductor yelled as the train began to slow down. "Great we're here!" Twilight said with glee as she got off of her seat. Soon the others followed and saw what the area actually looked like. It was if the entire place was made out of large crystal spires, and the enormous size of it all was more than awe-inspiring for the most of them. All but Razor and Buzzer who were acting like they were scared of walking around the place. "Why are you two acting weird?" Twilight asked the two. "This place reminds us of the Corrosive crystal fields, but there aren't any pools of acid around here." Buzzer said flying about three feet above the ground hoping that no crystal spire would just pop out of the ground. Besides those two the rest of the group looked around the place all seemed boring, but they happened to walk towards a group of familiar faces. "Guys!" The group of ponies yelled and soon both groups were in one huge hugging festival. It had been a great time for both groups seeing each others faces once again. "It's great to see you guys again." Tarlok exclaimed as he stretched his arms in order to hug everyone. "Same here big guy." Rainbow Dash said. "Oh what a glorious day it has been already, first seeing this glorious place and now meeting dear old friends once again." Sir Slicer said as he jumped around like a school girl. "Y'all sure have changed since the last time we saw each other." Applejack said noticing how the serious versions of the Crushers were replaced with all the versions the all saw. Everything was going fine until a sudden chill in air which caused Scalor to shiver in fear. As he and the others turned he saw that Princess Luna had Just arrived to where the group was hugging. "Hello Lightnings." She said with a hint of malice in her tone. "Hello Luna." Scalor replied walking up to the blue princess. "Before you say anything we're sorry." "Sorry?" Luna questioned, "Sorry for nearly killing me and scarring my nephew to the brink of a fear induced isolation?!" "Told you it wouldn't work." Scalor whispered towards Circuit Breaker and Twilight. "Well, I see you can hold a grudge." Luna saw this as an insult and retaliated, "And I can see your kind-" "Our kind?" Scalor yelled cutting Luna short. "Yes, the kind of creatures that abduct dear citizens and nearly killed them?" Luna continued bringing up old memories. "Stop fighting, the both of you!" Twilight yelled trying to stop the bickering. "Of course Twilight." Scalor said calming himself down. "Don't try playing coy with me fish, you and your collection of freaks are just acting nice so Twilight Sparkle doesn't see the truth." Luna yelled trying to give the Terra-glacians a bad name. "I got my eye on you all." She said as she flew off into the clear blue sky. "Twilight, you came." A feminine voice coming from a pink alicorn yelled as it flew down from the giant building in the center of the city. "Cadence!" Twilight said galloping towards he pink pony. "Guys I like you all to meet my sister in-law Princess Cadence." "The pleasure is ours your majesty." Sir Slicer and Dice both said simultaneously a they bowed towards Cadence. "Well Twilight you ever told me you friends were so polite." Cadence said to Twilight as they both looked at the collection of aliens standing before them. "Well I want to thank you all for visiting my fair kingdom, and Now I would be delighted if you come with me for some chit chat." Meanwhile somewhere else in Equestria In the skies above a desolate wasteland a fiery comet was falling down fast. With a large explosion dirt was flung and plants were burned as what appeared to be a large metallic sphere with a broken gear insignia. "At last I'm free." The lanky feline said as a robotic hum came with every word spoken. "Lord Jaggor are you sure this is the correct planet those idiotic ponies?" A metallic bird like entity asked the feline. "Of course it is Blade Wing, according to Tenta-box's analyzer this is the right planet." Jaggor replied as his left claw showed a hologram of the planet showing that the planet did harbor his equine enemies he had dealt with before. "Obliterator want crush tiny ponies and Lightning Seven!" A large robot yelled as it clenched its fists in anger. "In due time my dear ally but now the bossss musssst think of a plan." A serpent android said. "Those fools will pay for making a fool out of me." Lord Jaggor said as he rubbed his metal claws together. Things were about to turn for the worst for not only the Lightning Seven, but it looked like Twilights nightmares were about to come true.
Story Arc 1 part 4: The planLord Jaggor and his collection of mechanical minions were wandering around the wasteland busy hauling around things building some large contraption. "Hurry team, we must commence our operation for revenge!" The cybernetic feline shouted as he slammed his claws against a rock. "Obliterator want go in and small them all!!!" The towering behemoth yelled as he pounded what was left of the escape pod into scrap metal. "Watch where you're sssmashing you overgrown garbage disposal!" The serpent robot yelled as he grabbed the scrap that fell down. "Stop it with the hissing Slicor!" A rhino robot yelled in irritation. "Rampage stop it!" A octopus robot in a mechanical suit said in a monotone mechanical voice, "Now if you could be so kind, help me with hauling supplies." "Fine Tenta-box." The rhino said in irritation as he moved over towards the octopus to do what he was asked to do. "Soon my comrades we will become an indestructible force of destruction." Lord Jaggor said rubbing his claws together as he walked though the wasteland wielding some tools. "Do you honestly think that this plan will actually work?" Blade Wing asked sarcastically as he brought over supplies towards Jaggor. "What makes you say that?" Jaggor asked as he worked on a metal frame. "Well with all the other failures we have dealt with in the past I highly doubt we're going to actually win!" Blade Wing yelled as he grabbed Jaggor hoping to shake some sense into his thick skull. "This time shall be different." Jaggor replied. "That's what you said the last five thousand times we failed in attacking." Blade Wing yelled wandering around a small patch of land knowing that his leader was a moron and he needed to address the problem more than he had the other previous times that this situation has happened, "Day in and day out we go through the same things, but damn it you need to know we're always going to lose it's in the stars themselves saying that we are going to lose no matter how much we try!". As if by an unwanted miracle Jaggor had actually heard what Blade Wing was yelling at him. With all the countless time of his failures due to the Lightning Seven running through his mind he noticed that he was right the whole time; it was just his ignorance and pride that blinded him from actually acknowledging it in his brain. Soon enough when he was remembering all the times Blade Wing had told him about the constant failing he began to change; His breathing deepened more and his cybernetic eye begins to glow bright red as he began to slouch into a way that some of the robots began to cower behind rocks. "Hey boss, are you alright?" The mechanical crab named Pin-sar asked nervously. "Ah yes Pin-sar I am fine." Jaggor said softly as he moved closely towards whatever what was left of the cruiser and slashed it to pieces. Everyone saw he want acting like the way he usually did and found him completely disturbing. "Why are you acting like this?" Blade Wing asked thinking that he took the yelling bit too far this time. "You helped me see past my ignorance, and now I feel like a new cat." Jaggor said as he breathed heavily, "This plan will actually work better than all the other times my plans." "Well what is it?" Tenta-box asked wondering what the plan was. "Well I decided to create a war machine that can protect itself as it destroys anything in its path." Jaggor replied as he carried some scrap metal over to the large metallic frame, "I'm planning on installing generators into the machine that can create drones that can infiltrate and attack." "That actually sssoundssss like a good plan." Slicor said as he slithered towards the work site. "How would you get the drone bases installed when there seems to be only enough metal for the actual machine?" Tenta-box asked. "I decided to have my scan converter machines do the work along with these blueprints for other robot ideas that I had." Jaggor said as he showed his mechanical team a large machine that resembled a copy machine, and schematics of robotic mosquitos, dinosaurs, and crocodiles with arm blasters, "Not only will they protect the machine, but double as our army." "Now this is the tyrannical Jaggor I remember." Blade Wing said as artificial tears ran down his face. "Yes, now we can get this party started." Jaggor said before laughing maniacally. "What do you want us to do my lord?" All eight of Jaggors minions asked as they saluted in a uniformed fashion. "All I need you all to do is locate the mines of where I had created you all." Jaggor replied, "I got some business to attend to with the machine." "You got it boss!" The robots exclaimed as they all ran off into the distance. With that Jaggor began to work on the creation of his dreams. "Soon Scalor, soon you and those idiotic pony friends of yours shall suffer the way I had all those years back on Terra-glacies." Jaggor said as he grabbed his various tools and began to weld the metal onto the frame of his doomsday device. This time he really meant business with his bloodlust filled intentions, "I will make the Lightning Seven pay, I'll make them all pay with their lives." Truly he was out to see the fall of his enemies, and with his insanity restored there was nothing that was going to stop him and his mechanical army from reaching that goal. Author's Note Holy hell this took a while. Sorry I haven't been updating in a while I cant get myself really motivated to write for any of my stories, I hope you can all understand and appreciate what I try to do: making an engaging story.
Story Arc 1 part 5: The secretAfter the little meet and greet at the Crystal Empire, the large group of heroes were walking around Ponyville. Circuit Breaker was acting quite strange though as he began scavenging around the town for things for a project he told the others was top secret. "Circuit Breaker are you sure you're feeling alright?" Twilight asked frightened seeing her mole friend act like complete a maniac. "Of course!" Circuit Breaker exclaimed. "Why wouldn't I be?" Circuit Breaker Replied as he dumped his supplies in a clearing. "Well you've been acting weird acting ever since we got on the train from the Crystal Empire." Twilight said as Circuit zoomed around looking for some blue prints he drew up on the train ride. Soon he began laughing as he began to bring out supplies from the portal between Equestria and Terra-glacies. "Hey four eyes!" Razor yelled as she ran over towards all the commotion, "Shouldn't you get help from Buzz boy?" "Of course not Razor, he'll just keep asking questions on why this project is a secret. I have to keep my work tucked away until it's done!" Circuit sad as he worked on his stuff, "Now if you could hand me that portable lab cube I'll be in secrecy until the project is done." Soon Inside Twilights castle, the air was tense. Circuit Breakers twenty one friends were very concerned for their tech savvy moles very being as he became isolated from his friends very quickly. "He's acting weird guys, soon he'll just be a former shell a the scientist he is." Twilight said concerned for the little guy. "Well I tried to get to him, but all he keeps saying is 'No time I must work! Could you get me some food though?'" Buzzer said as he played a recording of Circuit Breaker. "It must be something big." Scalor said, "Last time he ever did something like this was that teleporter machine." "What could be more big than that thing?" Rainbow asked the remaining Lightnings, thinking that they were acting a bit to relaxed for their own good. "Trust us Rainbow, when ever that little guy gets his brain working on an idea he won't stop till it's done." Hawk Eye said acting as if Circuits craziness was just as normal as breathing. Pretty soon as they all started to argue, Circuit Breaker came in and everyone was surprised, "Dude!" Scalor yelled walking near his pal, "That's the shortest time you ever done this sorta thing." All of what Circuit did was completely ignore his friends and walked up towards the six mares. "May I have a strand of your hair ladies?" The mole asked as he held up six baggies with the names of the ponies on each one. Completely confused they did what he asked, "Before any of you ask this is for the project." Circuit said running out of the room. "Okay now he's full blown loco." Razor said, "And he was crazy enough to begin with." "Okay now he really needs a intervention." Rarity said as she looked at her friends now more concerned for Circuit than she ever was before. "Come one we gotta see him." Scalor said running outside. "Circuit Breaker!!!" The group yelled as they ran towards his makeshift lab as he opened the doors. "Yes?" Circuit Breaker asked as if he was back to his normal self. "We need to talk to you about your problem." Twilight said concerned. "What problem?" He asked, "My work is done!" "What?" They all yelled in utter confusion. "Yeah the DNA samples were all I needed to complete it." Circuit said wiping his forehead with a cloth, "Come in, come see them." The team looked at each other to see what their friend meant by what he said and just decided to walk into the mini lab. To the groups surprise they saw six machines standing before them with their heads lowered down. "What in tarnation are these things?" Applejack said as she rubbed her eyes in amazement. "Behold my answer towards Jaggor defense." Circuit said giggling like a school girl, "I present to you the Dino-Pony Warriors!" "What are you calling them that?" Pinkie asked, "They look more like Buzzer and Lightning Scale tossed in a blender." "Well like I said, the hair samples I took were what I needed to fully create them." Circuit Breaker said as he walked towards a power console turning on all six machines. "What is your commands father?" One of the robots asked. To everyone's shock the robot sounded exactly like Twilight. "How is this possible?" The actual Twilight screamed in both confusion and fear. "The hair" Circuit explained, "The hair gives these robots their personalities and with the memories I placed into their memory banks, they know they are meant for good." "Then what's up with the 'dino' part?" Twilight asked. "Watch this." Circuit said, "Team transform!" With that the six robots turned into six various dinosaurs. Each one of them roared in their own robotic reptilian voices possibly communicating to one another. "This is the coolest thing I ever seen from ya short stack." Rainbow said giving Circuit a pat on the back, "But why did the Twilight one call you 'dad'?" "To be honest, I don't know. I guess since I created them, and the fact they're more sentient than all my other machines." Circuit said coming up with a possible answer to the situation. For the rest of the day the robots learned from their creators friends and became aware of the fact they're one of the creations Circuit Breaker has ever given life. That day was one of Jurassic proportions.
Story Arc 1 part 6 RevealmentsIt was a bright and early morning as Spike walked into Twilights bedroom, "Good morning Twilight." But as he walked in he saw that the room was completely ransacked. He was terrified as he saw the torn curtains, shattered pottery and broken furniture gave Spike a terrifying conclusion that she was kidnapped. With great speed the purple dragon rushed out of the castle to find the Lightnings and Crushers. When he was completely out of ideas he resorted to shouting, "Guys where are you!" "We're right behind you little dude." Scalor said poking Spike making him turn around. "Guys I need you at the castle, it's really important!" Spike said as he tried pushing the group, but ended up literary falling flat on his face. "This is gonna take a while." Razor said slapping herself with her wing. Later at the castle When the group finally got to the castle they saw that Princess Luna, Princess Celestia and a handful of guards were already at the scene of the crime investigating what had happened. "We don't need your help you freaks, we have the situation under control." Luna said trying to push the group out as fast as she could. "Luna! Spike asked for our help, we have a right to help out here!" Jumpstart yelled pushing himself into the room. Soon the group began to bicker with the night princess until Kooker broke it up. "Wait!" Kooker yelled as he began to sniff the area like a blood hound. "Hey, look! Kooker is trying to tell us something." Slash said figuring out what his little brother was doing. "What is it bro?" He asked, but all what Kooker did was using hand gestures and act out stuff. "I believe he's doing charades." Hawk Eye said. "Oh boy I love charades." Scalor said as he began to clap his fins in joy. Charger began to decipher what the chameleon was trying to say, "Lets see, Twilight and the others..." "Are stored?" Tarlok asked, but Kooker nodded his his head for 'no'. "Imprisoned?" Buzzer asked followed by Kooker nodding for 'yes'. "By Lord Jaggor, Twilight and the others are imprisoned by Lord Jaggor!" Lightning Scale yelled figuring out the thing as kooker began to clap signifying that he was right.. "How did you know that?" Celestia asked confused by how they could understand Kooker so easily. "He's smarter than you think." Slash said petting his little brother, "That and the fact there is the Jagged Nine insignia on the wall." He said pointing towards the back wall with a broken gear symbol above Twilights bed. "Oi! I think there is a clue to our little problem." Snaggletooth said as he found a small machine as he pushed a button to reveal a hologram of Lord Jaggor. "Greetings whoever might find this, I lord Jaggor have captured Princess Twilight and her little friends." The malicious cat said as he showed the six ponies in shackles. "Help!" Twilight screamed in pain as she and the others tried to struggle their way out. "Silence you waste of space!" Jaggor yelled in anger trying to keep the mares in line, "Now if you want to see your friends back all you have to do is just sit back and surrender to me or you'll have to deal with my war machine." Jaggor said as he revealed a hologram of a green, purple, and orange robotic suit with a claw arm and energy cannon arm demonstrating what it could do. Jaggor soon began to laugh manically as the hologram ended. "If that freak thinks he can just attack the lives of this world he'll have to deal with me." Luna said in anger as she breathed heavily, "You all stay out of my way, you've brought this problem upon us and I must fix what you caused." She said pointing towards the Lightnings direction thinking that all what was going on was all their fault. "Wait your majesty! This fight is more dangerous than you think." Dice said blocking the door preventing Luna or anyone else from leaving. "How would you know?" Luna asked annoyed she was just letting a platypus just block her way. "I've known him long before any of you all." Dice confessed lowering his head sounding both scared and sorrowful. "What?!?" They all asked in confusion as Dice had never talked about his blindness to anyone. Dice sighed and decided to fully confess, "Long ago back on Terra-glacies in my home village when I was a child, I was playing with my family when Lord Jaggor came and attacked the entire village. I tried to fight him back by clawing his face, but in the end he threw me to the ground and with one swipe of his claws he blinded me leaving me alone in a unforgiving world." Dice soon removed his helmet and sash to reveal a set of claw marks across his eyes. Celestia soon walked towards him and gave him a hug with her wings, "I never knew you had dealt with so much." She said beginning to choke up on her emotions. "It's fine your majesty, what is done is done." Dice said putting his sash over his eyes again knowing he could not change the past, "The Jaggor that was on that hologram sounded like the same Jaggor I dealt with back then." He said explaining what could possibly happening again. "Dice, I didn't know that actually happened to you." Razor said in shock, "No wonder you always wanted to take out Jaggor every time we had the chance." "We must up our arsenal in order to stop this mad cat from causing any more damage." Dice said walking out to do who knows what. "Our blind friend is right!" Sir Slicer said grabbing his sword, "We must take the fight to the enemy and bring home our dear friends." "Agreed, we gotta teach that scrap brain a lesson." Hawk Eye said cracking his knuckles. "No you will not!" Luna yelled, "You and your kind have caused enough trouble." "Luna please." Celestia said stopping Luna from continuing bashing the Lightnings, "Despite my sisters naysaying, we would be grateful if you helped us." "Thank you Princess Celestia." Scalor said as he bowed his head in respect, "Alright guys we got ourselves a fight to win."
