Applejack stood bravely alongside Apple Bloom, doing her best to ignore the pain of hershattered hind leg. She wobbled as she stood, regardless of the brave face she put on. She held up the shuriken valiantly as she braced herself as yet another robot reared its head on the field of their battle.

"It seems your having quite the bit of trouble my friend." The robot said as it walked out from under the shaded areas of the barn. He spoke in a heavy northern accent. He had a red paint job, with silver on parts of his body. Drills occupied the spaces that would usually belong to one's hands.

"Crash Man. It took you long enough." Heat Man said in his normal, Brooklyn accent. "I thought we were supposed to have one more? I got a transmission saying we put a rush on 'Sangarai'."

"Sangarai?" Apple Bloom muttered to her sister. "What's that about?"

Applejack shot her an 'I don't know' look as she continued to listen in.

"Well, we kind of had an odd number of robots, so we're just gonna be a duo." Crash Man said, scratching the back of his metallic neck.

"But are these fools even worth using Sangarai on?"

"It seems so. If they gave even you, Heat Man, trouble, I'm pretty sure they're worth it."

"Trouble? Hmph! I was just getting warmed up!" Heat Man said, banging his fists together, igniting his body with dancing red and yellow flames. Much to Applejack's surprise, he flung his giant body at Apple Bloom, who spent no time in rolling away. Unfortunately, it was to no avail as Heat Man flung a multitude of small ignition flames at her, one scoring her in her thigh while the others fell to the ground around her.

Apple Bloom whimpered as she blew on her knee, attempting to nurse the wound. Applejack tried to rush to her side but was presented a kick to the face, the hard metal cutting her cheek as she flew through the air like a rag doll before finally landing in a haystack that was close to burning. She sat helplessly, watching her sister get mercilessly beaten by the giant fists of the machine.

Tears strew down Apple Bloom's face as she was faced with the reality of her situation. There really was nothing she could do. There was no other help. She was going to die here.

Without warning, something silver flew in from the outside of the barn. Flim and Flam stared, wide eyed at it. Before they could even analyze the situation, a dark blur flew in through the wreckage and hoofed Heat Man in the face. Heat Man flew off Apple Bloom, flying into a wall, tossing debris all over with the impact.

"And that my friends, was the Dynamic Entry!" Dark Side said as he landed on his front hooves, ensuring a soft landing on his broken one.

"Dark Side?" Applejack choked out through the flames.

Dark Side didn't answer her, but instead averted his attention to the other robot, who was rushing him with giant drills. Crash Man punched with his still drills, prompting Dark Side to catch it with both of his front hooves.

"Very clever, what is your name my friend?" Crash Man asked honorably.

"Dark Side, public prosecutor. And yours?" Dark Side asked, mirroring Crash Man's smile.

"Crash Man, your last opponent!" Crash Man said valiantly as he rushed his foot into Dark Side's side.

"Guagh!" Dark Side yelled in pain as he dropped his stance. He quickly scattered onto his feet and rushed at Crash Man with his unicorn horn. Crash Man countered with his drill, causing the two to cross as if two swords would cross. The two used their force until they proved equally matched, pushing both fighters back, Dark Side barely missing a wall and Crash Man slamming into Flam with great force.

"Hey you idiot! Watch it!" Flam yelled at the robot as he attempted to push it off of him.

The robot, ignoring Flam's verbal assault, flipped onto both its legs, stumbling slightly as he did. He smiled as he walked towards Dark Side.

"You are a worthy opponent indeed, my friend." Crash Man said, slowly stepping towards him.

"As are you, y'know." Dark Side said, trotting bravely up to Crash Man.

The two stared each other down as they both waited for each other to make a move.

"Do it." Crash Man commanded, predicting what was about to happen.

"If you insist." Replied Dark Side.

Dark Side swiftly moved to Crash Man's side, surprising him as he lifted his one good hind hoof and slammed it into Crash Man's side, causing him to flinch heavily to the side. Taking advantage of this, Dark Side jumped a bit high over his head and double-axe hoofed Crash Man on the chest, causing him to lose balance in his legs, causing him to crash to the ground. Dark Side quickly took advantage of this and shoved his hoof under his body, using all his strength to lift him high into the air. Applejack watched in amazement as Dark Side jumped to the same height he was.

"Genocide Cutter!" Dark Side exclaimed as he kicked his foot in a circular motion, a wave of energy edging from his foot. A large gash appeared on Crash Man's body.

Crash Man flipped over as he landed, just barely on his feet, pushing his hand to the ground to avoid damage to his other body parts. He put a hand over his gash. "Well, it seems we have reached an impasse here, my friend."

Dark Side huffed loudly. "Yeah it seems so."

"We both know this isn't our full power." Crash Man said, getting to his feet.

"You two huh? I figured. You should've been able to dodge that Genocide Cutter."

"I could have, but I had to test how well it worked."

"You had to 'test' it?"

"Yeah. If you was capable of a combo like that, I figured you'd have a special move to back it up with. So I had to test my hypothesis. Am I able to get hit with it and survive?"

"You didn't think of how dangerous that is?"

"Nah, I wasn't scared."

"Your my type of guy."

"Ditto."

The two rushed each other after their exchange their powers colliding into an explosion.

[Pinkamena's Mind]

"Moonlit Hitachi?" Pinkie asked questioning the shadowy figure that stood before her.

"Yes Pinkamena. I'm Dark Side older brother." Hitachi said, brushing some of his dark blue hair from his face. He looked a lot like an older Dark Side, except his hair was styled significantly different.

"Then why haven't I heard of you until just now?" Pinkamena asked, crossing her front hooves in front of her, as if aroused by suspicion.

"To tell you that, we'll have to delve deep into the past." Hitachi said, stomping his hoof. As he did, the scenery changed to that of a hospital room. Now watch.

As Pinkamena watched she noticed a mare lying asleep in the bed. She had the face of her old friend Fluttershy, only distinguishable by her different shaded coloration of hair and her different hairstyle. She lie in bed, her breathing slow but steady with a smile plastered on her face.

"Who's that?" Pinkamena asked, cocking her head slightly.

"That is mother. Right now she's pregnant with our little sister."

"Fluttershy?"

"Correct."

As the two continued to watch a younger looking Madara trotted into the room.

"So this filly is going to have power that rivals even mine? Well. We'll have to see about that." Madara said menacingly as he used his horn to levitate a syringe, aiming it for Candy Apple's stomach.

"Stop!" A voice said as it crashed through the door to the room. He had a dark blue shade of hair and was gray in coloration. He looked just like Dark Side.

"Hitachi! Do not attempt to halt my plan!" Madara said as he turned to face his grandson.

"That's your granddaughter! How can you be do heartless?!"

"It doesn't matter. She poses a threat to my plan so she will be eliminated."

"Not if i---" Hitachi started before a syringe sunk into the back of his neck, injecting highly toxic substances into his bloodstream. The last thing he saw before his death was a syringe being stuck into his mother's stomach.
