Twilight and her friends confront their dangerous enemies: themselves! Can they stop them?

(a sequel to the "Reflections" arc of the MLP comic book series; set shortly after the Season 5 opener): While on the run, the Erroneus Equines (the small-time criminal counterparts to the Mane Six and Spike) end up discovering long-lost magic talismans that grant them near-unlimited power, even to the point of gaining a new "Dark Rainbow Power". The newly super-charged former small time criminals end up going on a rampage that is too much for even the combined might of Captain Goodguy (Discord's Mirrorverse counterpart) and Chrysalis. Fortunately, they ARE able to bring help in the form of the Equestria Prime versions of the Mane Six and Spike. But can even the Mane Six's OWN Rainbow Power allow them to fight their criminal counterparts on equal footing?

Chapter 1: Return to the Mirrorverse

Chapter 1: Return to the Mirrorverse

Authorities are called over to the loyal museum in Manehattan. A robbery is taking place as seven of the most infamous criminals ever. The cops knew that they must be careful as they are dangerous and are servants to two of the former most evilest villains in the world.

"Okay, guys." A police unicorn stallion said sternly to his pals as they prepare to storm the museum. "These girls and their Dragon are dangerous...so we must be careful."

The other cops nodded then storms the museum. They rush to the area of the museum where a silent alarm has been tripped. Soon the police stops and saw the villainous seven preparing to make a break for it.

"Hold right there, you brats!" The police unicorn stallion yells making the seven turn. "So, Twilight Sparkle, you and your friends think you will get away with this?"

Twilight smirks as her pals gave cruel chuckles. The mare ask, "Hay, we always do and you never caught us yet! Rainbow!"

Rainbow laughs as she flew around into the air. The police quickly fires at her but she was too fast. The villainess flew down and knocks the copers down. The lead fires at Rainbow but got grabbed by magic, keeping him still.

"’De princesses are no longer in charge thanks ‘ta yer former king saving their lives." Applejack remarks with a scoff. "It's time fer their servants ‘ta rise up ‘ta take over."

"Yeah! Hey, can I cut them into cupcakes now? Huh huh huh?" Pinkie ask madly, clopping their hooves together.

"No, Pinkie, no. ‘Dat's disgusting."

The lead cop screams as Rainbow pounds him a few times then uppercut him across the floor. Twilight, satisfied, released him and trots over to the down cop.

"Well, it's been fun but we are on a little quest now." Twilight said slyly, holding the cop by his chin. "We, the Erroneous Equines, will change the world once the talismans are ours...so toodles!"

Twilight then head butts the cop, knocking him out. She and her pals gather around so that the unicorn can use her wicked magic to teleport them all out of the museum. They got what they came for.

"It appears that the Erroneous Equines has stuck once more." Chrysalis said to her ally who sit in the since abandoned throne of the good king Sombra. "This isn't good. With Sombra now on the side of evil and the former evil sisters under reformation, the seven are more determined than ever."

"So what did they steal?" The ally asked Chrysalis with a concerned look on his face.

"The map that leads to the talismans...for the Dark Rainbow Power. If they get it, the Erroneous Equines will take over Equestria. We need some help."

Captain Goodguy pauses, fiddling with his fingers as he think up a solution. The good guy nod as he stood up. With Sombra now evil and the good Alicorns unavailable...it's time to get help elsewhere.

From those who came to this world before...

Now, folks, you probably guess correctly that those mares you saw aren't the ones we all know and care about. In fact, they aren't and that isn't the Equestria we all know either. Now the story shall continue into the one right in Equestria TUPG.

In the Friendship Rainbow Kingdom castle, the ponies are hard at work. Twilight just got used to her new one, thanks to renovations by her friends and family. But they are hard at work at other problems too. Chrysalis and her Changelings has recently escaped from their prison thanks to the queen tricking the princess. And what's more shocking is her big secret: there are two other versions of her which she used to stand in for her, one of them invaded Canterlot and the other worked with Tirek a while back.

The problem is now, how could there be three versions of Chrysalis running around? And which one is the original?

"Hey Twiley." Ben said as he peeks in. "Sombra and Autumn Gem are here."

"Let them come in." Twilight said to Ben with a smile. It's good to see someone who is no longer an evil tyrant and is now an alley to Equestria.

The now good Sombra came in with his filly Autumn Gem. The unicorn clears his throat, asking, "You summoned me, princess?"

"Yes, something occurred while I was at the Crystal Empire the other day, something about you."

"Err, about me?"

"Yes." Twilight said with a nod. "Cadance and I found your journal."

Hearing that made Sombra uncomfortable, much to Autumn Gem's notice. It's like the mention of his journal...made him uneasy.

"You found my journal?" Sombra ask Twilight in concern, fearing the worst for himself and Autumn Gem.

"Yes. We know you were a creation of umbrum forces waiting beneath the palace...as well as the fact that you smashed Princess Amore into pieces...something your filly hood friend Radiant Hope was unable to do."

"'Radiant Hope'?" Autumn Gem ask Sombra in concern, arching an eyebrow. "Is there something you wanted to tell me?"

"Well...back then, when I turned bad, I tried to have her as my queen...but that was my dark side, Autumn Gem!" Sombra explains to Autumn Gem, lowering his ears in guilt. "You're the one I wanted to be with. I changed good despite what I was told...but then that traitor, he..."

"It's all right, Sombra...I forgive you. And I'm sure Radiant Hope does too."

"Anyway, we're looking for a way to restore Princess Amore...we just need to find all her pieces first." Twilight said to Sombra with a smile. "We are hoping you and Autumn Gem will join in the search."

"It will be my honor, princess." Sombra said, bowing to Twilight humbly. He will do anything, anything to redeem his past mistakes.

"Good, you may go now. We will let you know if anything else comes up."

Sombra and Autumn Gem thus leaves the room with Ben following. Applejack remarks, "Well, 'dat went well. Ah done worried he would go into a guilt trip."

"Especially since it's the only way to fit the Fiendship of Magic issue into this fan-fiction series!" Pinkie chirps randomly, making her friends laugh, getting used to this by now.

"So what's next?" Fluttershy ask curiously. "I got so many plans that..."

Just then without warning, Twilight, the Mane Five & Spike were magically teleported from where they were as if like magic. Owlicious was watching the whole thing in seeing what happened before it gave this response...

"Hoo?" Owlicious may be speaking in owl, but it was a good question; who done this?

Which brings us to another scene in where the Mane Six & Spike suddenly drop from in slightly above midair to hit the ground, aching from where they landed. As they recovered, they are greeted by someone who sat on the air in smiling at them...

"Discord?" The gang responded off surprised to see who was here before them, the old trouble making guy that makes chaotic pranks.

"Actually, my name is..." He then stood up, a strange American Flag background was seen, as he gave a loud holler. "CAPTAAAAAIN GOOOOODGUUUUY!" When it was over, the others pretty much got wind-burn of their faces blown back so much & stretch out manes from seeing this guy make such an introduction. "But where are my manners, I am the different counterpart of Discord who exist here, in the different dimension world you saved." He simply pointed this out while everyone was slowly recovering.

"Wait, we saved?" Rainbow Dash stop everything to hear that right.

"Where de heck are we?" Applejack asked off in looking around to see this place looked pretty wrecked.

"Oh, you don't recall stopping an evil Celestia & Luna in which Celly's old lover, King Sombra, took all of the evil so those two princesses would be turn back to being good again to save this place?" Captain Goodguy spoke off to explain the case of what it is that the Mane Six & Spike have long forgotten where they are, but from his tale, it's sure to ring familiar bells.

'Wait, so we're actually in..." Rarity yelps upon hearing this story, then that means....

"Bingo! And the reason why I have pulled you all here today, is well...we have a sorta trouble." Captain Goodguy issued off to slightly say about their circumstances needing aid.

"Oh my, um...what kind of trouble?" Fluttershy yelps in not liking how that sounds.

"Are Celestia & Luna evil again?" Pinkie Pie asked in thinking the problem has restarted again.

"Oh no, no, no, heavens forbid, no..." Captain Goodguy pointed off to clear the misunderstanding of the problem. "The problem lies with you." He pointed off to simply say this of who are causing problems.

"US?" the M and Six & Spike asked off stump, what does that mean?

"You six & your baby Dragon also have counterparts here in this place, which lets say...while you are living a good life...they live in a wanted criminal life." Captain Goodguy explained the case that in this universe, the Mane Six & Spike are not heroes, but wanted criminals.

"Wait, are you meaning to tell us we're....criminals?" Twilight felt like that was too shocking to believe.

"Well yes, and it gets far worse...while you six are called the Mane Six; in this place, your other counterparts are called; Erroneous Equines. And they are going after a power that will be too much for me & Chrysalis to hold back. So, I called you here to help us..." Captain Goodguy explained the case of what new enemy they face, & that the enemy is after a power stronger than he or another can keep at bay.

"But wait, what about those other heroes we saw when King Sombra showed us the palace?" Spike asked off in thinking this place should have other heroes, right?

"Well, in our universe's versions of Trixie, the Flim Flams and Derpy, being such good aids to the kingdom, are busy re-educating the recently reformed Celestia and Luna on how to be good. After all, Celly & Luny had been through so much, they need time to slowly heal. And time is something we don't have much on I'm afraid to say." Captain Goodguy explained off that the other heroes that would help are busy doing other things, so he & Chrysalis need more help, so he called in some...outside help.

"Look, as much as we like to help, we seen what happens if those of our counterparts are injured," Twilight explained about something she knows happens when they fight counterpart versions of themselves.

"She's right, like wit' them princesses evil counterparts, we hurt our own along wit' them." Applejack nods off in recalling if they hurt the corrupted versions of Celestia & Luna, the good versions feel the same thing.

"Just spray yourselves with this then." Captain Goodguy handed the others a strange red spray bottle.

"What is it?" Fluttershy asked off in not knowing what the item does.

"No-Pain-No-Gain Spray! The latest in which it's AntiPain Transfer Linkspell to ever relieve you of others pain inflicted." Captain Goodguy explained forth like a commercial guide in that spray canister will protect the group from feeling the pain inflicted on their evil counterparts.

"So with this, we can beat up ourselves as much as we want?" Rainbow Dash asked off in thinking this could make things easier for them.

"Goodness, I feel just awful harming my own delicate self!" Rarity gasped in feeling uncertain about this.

"Me too, it's like I'm fighting me, but it's not me, but even when it's not me, it's still me, and..." Pinkie Pie was randomly stating off a bunch of things until...

"We get it Pinkie, so....will this work?" Twilight cuts her friend off before asking Captain Goodguy if this spray stuff will help them not feel the pain inflicted on their evil counterparts.

"Yes, for at least 24 hours it should, and we must hurry, they are bound to strike again." Captain Goodguy nods his head in stating that though the effects are not permanent, it should still help out somewhat.

"Well....I guess we got no choice." Spike shrug off to say while he & everyone were spraying the 'No-Pain-No-Gain Spray' stuff which glittered on their bodies to look like sparkling lights; like they were in a car wash or they got turn into near versions of Crystal Ponies...

"Good work, now come with me...we need to be prepare in what you’re about to face..." Captain Goodguy stated off to say in seeing that everything is set, now they need to go in what this group will face...

As Captain Goodguy began to lead off, the Mane Six & Spike felt a little strange about doing this, but....they have to help stop whatever new evil is causing problems. Even if that new evil is....them? Man, this kinda thought is hard for any of them to still process? The scene goes dark now while whatever happens next, the Mane Six & Spike will soon come across it very, very soon...

In her dungeon, Pinkamena was busy helping in making preparations to help Sombra join the search. Just then, her senses made her look up.

"Hmm, seems our friends are heading to another universe to save the day from evil counterparts of themselves." Pinkamena said. "They might need help."

"Well, we best help them." Golden Heart said, knowing that the Mane Six and Spike may need help in their adventure.

"No, it is too risky; we are not sure how stable that world will be when the Mane 6 and Spike are there. Brother, you need to watch this place with our friends. I will enter there. I can easily blend in." Pinkamena gets into her armor and helmet, with the visor which covers her eyes and a piece folds over her muzzle. "The Bird of Prey is ready to hunt."

"Just be careful sister; who knows how powerful the evil counterparts must be."

Pinkamena nods and trots off to secretly join the Mane 6; whatever will happen only time will tell.

Moments later, Captain Goodguy was leading the Mane Six and Spike through the castle.

Spike commented out loud, "Boy, that trouble detector in the castle must be pretty sensitive indeed to pick up trouble in another dimension. Either that, or it is some pretty MAJOR trouble. Or even a combination of the two."

"Yeah, when it rang out earlier, we had no idea since it wasn't on the map." Fluttershy said in agreement.

The group entered a room where they saw her: the alternative version of Chrysalis who didn't have any holes in her horn and, legs but she did have a pair of butterfly wings and a pony-like mane and was wearing glasses.

"Captain Goodguy. So you got the heroes of the other world here." Chrysalis said, noting the newcomers.

"Yes, Your Highness." Captain Goodguy said as he bowed to her, "They are the ones who got through to Celestia and Luna and reformed them."

"Well, at least this Chrysalis is a lot nicer than the one back home." Rainbow remarked to her friends.

"Time is of the essence. We must stop your evil selves from getting their talismans." Chrysalis said seriously. "They have stolen a map which could lead them to the location of them."

"Yes, already the Erroneous Equines, which we called them, are hunting all over our Equestria for the talismans which can grant them new found power." Captain Goodguy said with a nod, pulling down a board which had a picture of nine talismans on it. "There are nine talismans altogether; one dark red, one dark orange, one dark yellow, one dark green, one dark blue, one dark indigo, one dark violet, one dark pink and one black."

"Collect them all to make terror!" Pinkie exclaimed happily.

"And destroy all of creation." Chrysalis added seriously. "Each talisman amplifies the pre-existing abilities of the wearer a hundredfold (ten thousandfold if someone is wearing TWO talismans) PLUS grants a different additional power (two different additional powers if someone is wearing two talismans), but when they are ALL in close proximity, the enhancement becomes FAR greater."

"In other words, if they git together, we're doomed, right?" Applejack ask the good versions in concern.

"Precisely." Chrysalis nodded in reply.

"Well, looks like we're on a scavenger hunt, then." Twilight said, scratching her shin.

"Well, yours truly memorized the map before they took it." Discord explained carefully. "Each area in Equestria had two talisman hidden in a different area, except my territory, that had THREE hidden in it."

"Well, we got to secure those talisman before then!" Twilight remarked in determination. She can't let the enemies get their hooves on the talisman. This Equestria had suffered with their Sombra a villain, no more.

"Chrysalis, Good Guy." A familiar voice said. The group looked surprised as a shaggy-looking familiar unicorn with a blue mane came in.

"Is that Shining's other version?" Fluttershy asked in surprise, seeing the frightened unicorn.

"I think it is!" Twilight exclaimed.

"My love." Chrysalis said, smiling as she came over to Shining...and the two kissed. Of course, seeing this shocked and confused the ones from the prime Equestria.

"Wait, hang on, are you two...in love?" Rainbow asked Chrysalis and Shining. "What about Cadance?"

"You mad?" Shining asked in shock and alarm. "That evil witch forced herself on me! She is evil, even tried to force me to marry her! I'm glad Chrysalis got me out of there."

"Yes, Cadance is still around, despite her aunts now reformed." Chrysalis said with an annoyed tone. "She always blamed me for taking what is rightfully hers away."

The ponies looked bewildered. Applejack remarked, "Well, at least Shining being wit' Chrysalis here seems right than it is back home."

"At least this Chrysalis is a lot nicer." Pinkie said gleefully. "The author Jus is trying to find a way to get one of his fave pairings involving a baddie in his stories for some time now!"

"Well, what is it?" Captain Good Guy ask Shining in concern.

"I got reports from Derpy's territory." Shining said seriously. "The other Fluttershy has gotten her talisman and my sister and her friends are on their way to the next one!"

"No!" Captain Good Guy cried in shock and horror.

"Unfortunately, yes." Shining said grimly.

"Then we shall go after them." Twilight said in determination. She commented, "Good thing Ben, Big Mac and Tough Apple all volunteered to help Fred, Barney, Sunset and Flash protect the castle AND Lorcan in our absence, just in case some villain found out about said absence and wanted to take advantage of it."

"Good to hear!" Chrysalis exclaims as she quickly gave a paper to the princess of the good Equestria. "This will give you the information on the Talisman location."

"Hey, who's that?" Spike asked as he noticed someone in a nearby window.

The group turned and saw three familiar fillies peeking in, wearing KISS-like outfits. The three yelped and rushed off.

"The Cutie Mark Traitors." Chrysalis said with a deep frown.

"Evil versions o' mah sister an' her friends?" Applejack asked in concern.

"And they're spies for our evil selves?" Rarity asked though she doesn't really need an answer.

"As a matter of fact, they are." Chrysalis replied with a nod.

"In fact, they are always causing trouble, spying for your evil selves and tormenting poor Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon." Shining said, shaking his head in concern.

"The bullying brat and her flunky?" Rainbow asked as she raised an eyebrow.

"Wait, don't tell us. Polar opposite versions of them in this world." Applejack guessed.

"Most likely, they are nicer here." Spike said with a shrug. "I feel sorry for them."

"Great, by the time we go after them, they would be gone and informing the Erroneous Equines!" Discord exclaimed seriously, knowing that the CMT would be off telling their bosses.

"In that case, we must move to the next talisman." Twilight said seriously and in determination. She won't let this Equestria fell to any more evil, not again.

"Right, we will keep on trucking and Shining will keep on loving Goody Chrysalis." Pinkie said happily, bouncing up and down.

"And hope Ben and the others back home are fine with our absence." Rarity said, hoping that the others back home won't mind the group's absence.

Meanwhile within the Rainbow Castle, much activity was going on in which Ben, Nyx & Phobos were searching all over. They appeared to be trying to find or locate something that was lost, but were having a hard time trying to find it. After what was nearly an hour to almost 2 of searching with no results, they meant up again in the council table room.

"Any luck?" Ben asked those here if they found anything.

"Nope!" Phobos shook his head off to say this.

"Sorry daddy." Nyx shrug off to say this as her answer as well.

"I don't understand. Twilight & everyone were last seen some time ago, but now they vanished without a trace." Ben stated in confusion of where Twilight, the Mane Five &Spike went off to that no one knows where they went.

"I know, both those six...." Phobos was about to say something until he was cut...

"Seven Phobos, you forgot to add Spike." Nyx corrected to say this in counting Spike among the Mane Six group that was missing.

"Right, right, those seven are gone & we're not sure why." Phobos replied off in continuing to say this stuff off in just not following any of this.

"I'm currently trying to unravel this, if nothing else...I may have to see if anyone last saw them around Ponyville." Ben explained what sort of course he will take in order to figure out this blank mystery here.

"I can go & check on Apple Bloom & Sweetie Belle if they know where their sisters are. Maybe ask if Scootaloo saw where her idol went off to." Nyx suggested in checking out her Cutie Mark Crusader pals if they saw AJ, Rarity & Rainbow Dash anywhere.

"I suppose I can start with the Cake Family if they’ve seen Pinkie Pie. But the only chatter I'm getting is lots of animal talk from Fluttershy's jam-pack cottage of animals." Phobos sighs off to say in where he can get answers on Pinkie Pie & Fluttershy, though the last one will be a pickle for him.

"Do what you both can, I'm gonna try to maybe ask my mom & aunt if maybe they were called to Canterlot or something." Ben stated this off to his family here to do what they can for right now.

"Right!" Nyx & Phobos nod off their heads before heading off to leave Ben alone.

"Twilight, wherever you are, I hope you & the others are doing alright. While you’re away, we'll hold down the fort here for you." Ben issued off to say this that thought their friends & family are away, they will watch over the Rainbow Kingdom until they return.

With that, the scene begins to go dark around now, as it appears that even those still in Equestria Prime will have to handle things on their own while the Mane Six & Spike are off somewhere...All while not really knowing where the gang truly are at...

In the other world, Chrysalis is preparing a transportation device which Captain Good Guy made in his spare time. It should have the ability to teleport the good guys to the area quickly.

"Have you got the teleportation device ready?" Twilight ask Chrysalis as she came in.

"Almost." Chrysalis said as she pushes a button. Beeping noises came out of the device. "There, it should be ready."

"Uh, Your Majesty?"

Chrysalis comment, "No need to sweat the royal titles. You can just call me 'Chrys'."

Twilight ask, "You know, err - Chrys, I was wondering, if you are the entity of Love in this universe, that what about this universe's Cadance?"

Chrysalis comment, "Please, Twilight, do NOT mention that maniac. She's been the Dark Alicorn of Hate ever since her ascension. The situation is bad enough as it is."

"Sorry. So she is really bad?"

"Yes. Shining, oh my beloved Shining, was scared to death of her. She forced him to date, terrorized him and all her classmates back at her school, tried to marry him. But truth be told, his heart always belong to me. So I was able to rearrange a rescue minion, leaving a Changeling who is willing to fight for the good side to fool her so I can get my love."

"Wow, Shining must really love you?" Twilight ask, smiling as she saw the hint of love in Chrysalis's eyes. Unlike her other self who is using the prime Shining for her own means, the love is truly there.

"Yes, that is the case. Shining lacks courage, but he is getting better. I will do my best to help my beloved." Chrysalis said with a sigh. "So tell me...do you have a me back in your world? I got a feeling that you do and she is worst."

"Oh, even worst! She mind controlled by own brother, absorbed his love for Cadance to try to destroy the shield around Canterlot for her own forces to invade, she turned my own friends, brother and teacher against me, try to trick me to kill my own Cadance, kidnapped three little fillies, tried to force me on her side and then tried to kill me, has two doubles who worked with a monster, and even tricked me into letting her out of her prison. Yeah, she is worst and a monster."

"I see...I'm...I'm sorry for I did to you."

Twilight smiles, hugging the Element of Love in the Mirrorverse, saying, "It's all right. At least you're better than she is."

"Are we ready to go?" Rainbow ask impatiently as she, the rest of the Mane Five, Spike, Captain Good Guy, and Shining came in. "Our other selves would've gotten the next talisman by now!"

"It is ready, my friends." Chrysalis said. She purrs while taking Shining by the hoof, kissing him. "My love will help you, Shining."

"Thanks. At least it's much better than dealing with her." Shining said with a shudder.

The two lovers kissed once more. Rarity sighs happily, "While I do like Shining with Cadance, the one with Chrysalis here...so romantic."

"Oh, you and the romantic type." Applejack remarks with a light chuckle.

"Okay, Pinkie Pie, your talisman is here." The other Twilight said as she points to a location. "In Derpy's territory still but I will get us there."

"Yes! Oh yes, cupcakes, you will be mine!" Other Pinkie exclaims with a mad squeal. Her allies look at her in disgust and annoyance. That Pinkie has one track disgusting mind!

"Applejack, Spike, you two get to wielded two."

"Yeah! Hay yeah, no one would stop me." Other Applejack remarks in agreement. "Anypony who said otherwise are lying 'ta themselves like Ah was."

"I hope to get mine soon. I will crush anyone who makes fun of my own size now." Other Spike remarks, smirking wickedly.

"Hey big sis!" Other Apple Bloom remarks as she and her pals in the Cutie Mark Traitors. The small filly smirks wickedly as she spoke, "We done got some news."

"So what is it?" Other Applejack demands more than she asked.

"We found out that Captain Good Guy and Chrysalis has got some new help." Other Scootaloo said with a frown. "In the forms of your goodie two-shoes selves from the other universes."

"Yeah, the same ones who reformed Celestia and Luna but changed Sombra bad." Other Sweetie Belle remarks wickedly.

"What?" Other Rarity screeches out in fury. "Our other selves are here?! Oh, they will ruin everything!"

"No, they won't. We will move on as planned. And if our other selves get in the way..." Other Twilight said wickedly as she fires a blast at a rotten apple, blasting it into pieces. "THEY'RE DEAD!"

The Erroneous Equines laugh cruelly. They will have all the talisman and takes this world...and maybe the other Equestria too if they're lucky! No one, not even themselves, will get in the way. They will be crushed!

Author's Note

Sorry for the big delay, folks, but this chapter is done. What will happen next? More to come so read, review and suggest.

This chapter has references to the Fiendship is Magic issues, mostly the ones with Sombra and Queen Chrysalis.

Okay, I admit. I like Shining x Chrysalis, but not too much! This story will give me one heck of an excuse to use the pairing.

Chapter 2: It's Too Late?

Chapter 2: It's Too Late?

Suddenly, appearing out of nowhere in the Mirrorverse world of Equestria, was Pinkamena. As she landed on the ground, she looks around her surroundings, seeing she's all alone.

"Okay, I'm here....now I just need to use the element of 'surprise' & then strike when the foes least know it. First off, blend in the surroundings." Pinkamena exclaimed to herself in knowing what she needs to do here.

Then afterwards, Pinkamena slips into the shadows so that she can prepare herself to catch the enemy by surprise...when they least expect it. How she'll perform it, eh, she'll think of something.

The group of heroes teleported right near where the next talisman is at. Applejack whistles, "Hoo doggie, Chrysalis. Yer teleportation is a good way than Twilight's."

"Hey." Twilight said, a bit hurt by the comment.

"Ah didn't mean anything bad by it, sweetheart."

"Listen, we must work together and keep them from the next talisman." Shining said a bit nervous. "We...may not...err..."

"Come on." Fluttershy said, patting the other Shining on the back. "You will need to be brave if you want to stand up to your own sister and her friends."

"Right, we're here, so is Chrysalis and I." Twilight said calmly to the Mirrorverse version of her own brother. The mare looks and notices that someone is missing. "Where's Captain Goodguy?"

"Oh, he's always going off on his own, who knows what he does?" Chrysalis ask with an annoyed sigh. "Still, you're right, Twilight. We are here for you Shining."

"Thanks...my sister is worst as Cadance." Shining said with a deep frown. With a sigh, the not so brave unicorn adds, "I mean...I wanted to take her under my wing, be a big brother. Ha. So much for that happening."

"Well, it can still happening...but beating some hard love into her!" Rainbow exclaims, boasting as he hits her hooves together excitedly.

"We can only hope we can stop them before they get their Dark Rainbow Power." Spike said seriously, fearing the worst should the evil mares get all their talisman together.

Chrysalis comment, "When all nine of those talismans are within close proximity of each other, the power they grant is very near unlimited. However, if we lure those outlaws further than ten feet away from each other, they will each only have the power of ONE talisman (except for our Applejack and our Spike; who EACH have TWO), which is still potent, but much more manageable for US - especially since the Erroneous Equines will then be unable to activate their new "'Dark Rainbow Power'"."

"Good, then let's get-a going!" Pinkie exclaims happily.

The group of heroes and mirror selves rushes right onto the battle scene...which appears to be empty and quiet. Something is not right here. It looks...too quiet.

"Eeep." Pinkie said shaking a bit. "I sense trouble..."

"Right, normally when that happens, it means a bad guy is going to pounce on us at any given moment." Rarity said in concern, looking worried at the scene here."

Suddenly without warning plants came out of the ground, the girls and boys screams as they attack the group, trying to grab them.

"I HATE IT WHEN I'M RIGHT!" Rarity screams frantically as she and Twilight fire magic blasts at the plants.

"This is like the seeds that Discord planted all over again!" Rainbow screams, flying around to dodge the plants.

Evil laughter is heard. Who to stand by but the other version of Fluttershy? She giggles wickedly, "Oh, you mares are so predicted. My Twilight knew you were coming so she left a little surprise! Oh, you are stupid bucking ponies!"

"Oh dear, oh my!" Fluttershy exclaims scared as one of the plants tried to pull at her mane.

"Oh, I hate your look. Plants? Do me a favor and break her into pieces!"

Fluttershy screams as the plants pulled on her, trying to rip the poor Pegasus pony into pieces. Shining gasps and quickly fires some blasts at the plants. He was able to wipe some out, but the rest kept on coming.

Twilight flew in quickly, firing various blasts to get rid of the plants and moving Fluttershy out. Pinkie took out her party cannon and opens fire on Other Fluttershy, making her scream while knocking the evil version into a wall.

"You okay, Fluttershy?" Twilight ask her friends, hoping that the plants didn't hurt her too much.

"I am. Looks like neither me nor myself are hurt in this." Fluttershy said meekly yet thoughtfully. "That spray on stuff really worked."

"Good! Then I won't worried about doing this!" Rainbow exclaims, flying in and hitting Other Fluttershy a few times. "Man, this would've felt bad...if it was my Fluttershy I'm hitting, but this helps!"

"My telepathic link to plants given to me by my talisman will end you!" Other Fluttershy roars as she held up her talisman, showing the power it is giving her.

Rainbow turns to see the plants going after her now. There's too many. But a big blast hits the plants, wiping them out. The attack came from Shining and Chrysalis who combined their powers to help.

"Help is on the way." Chrysalis said as her horn glows, grabbing Other Fluttershy. "Other Fluttershy, where are your friends? Tell me and you will be treated fairly in the dungeon."

"Right here!" A familiar laughs occurs as energy blasts are fired. Chrysalis gasps as she and Shining got hit, knocking them to the ground while Other Fluttershy is let go.

The rest of the heroes rush in to help their allies but a force field blocks them. The attacks are coming from Other Pinkie who grins as she wears her own talisman.

"Like my new power?" Other Pinkie giggle devilishly. "It gives me telekinesis, which means I can also do force fields and energy blasts."

"Hey, no fair!" Pinkie protests, whining about his turn of events. "I wanted to do that."

"Nice job in keeping those dopes busy, Fluttershy." Other Spike remarks as he and Other Applejack help Other Fluttershy. The bad Dragon glances at his good self, scoffing. "What a wimp."

"Hey!" Spike protests, a bit offended by the comment.

"I've heard of what you did...at least I killed my own brother than to let him live!"

"You mean you got rid of your own Lorcan?! You monster!"

"I've heard better," Other Spike remarks, waving off what the good self said.

"The force field my Pinkie made will keep you detained, long enough for our escape." Other Twilight said to the good guys and Mirrorverse versions cruelly. "We are on our way of getting them all. But don't worry, you won't have to see it."

"We will make sure you lame-os are deader than Sombra's goodness so you won't have to see it!" Other Rainbow remarks with a mad laugh.

"Until we meet again!"

Other Twilight used her magic to teleport herself and the rest of the Erroneous Equines away. It took a few minutes before the force field that the other Pinkie has made disappears, allowing the Mane Six and Spike to help out Chrysalis and Shining.

"Well, this isn't good." Rainbow groans as she slaps herself on the forehead. "My other self makes me look tame!"

"An' Ah didn't thunk it was possible." Applejack said, surprisingly agreeing with her friendly rival.

Spike comment, "Boy, the power those nine talismans are granting our counterparts is great enough where I can easily see why you TRIED so hard to keep them all separated."

"And so far, we saw how a single talisman would do." Chrysalis said seriously. "Combine together, it would've done worst."

"Looks like they got two, which means they need 7 more to go." Rarity said, shaking her head in worry. "This is the most terrible thing ever!"

The ponies returned to the castle, defeated and a bit humiliated. So far, they didn't stop their evil selves from getting the talismans!

"Great, I haven't been this frustrated since Starlight Glimmer took my cutie mark away temporarily." Rainbow said with an annoyed sigh.

"I know, and they still haven't caught her yet." Rarity said with a sigh, shaking her head. "The Mystic Ponies are still looking for her as we speak."

"By the way, do you have any Mystic Ponies here?" Twilight asked Chrysalis and Shining in worry.

"We do. We got allies in the form of Light Curse, but right now, they are dealing with the evil Dark Mystic Ponies led by the Dark Emperor." Shining explained, making some of the Mane Six gasp.

"Well, let's hope we don't deal with the Dark Mystic Ponies on this mission." Spike said in concern. The last thing he and his pals wanted was to deal with the Mirrorverse version of the Mystic Ponies!

"Ah sure wish we'd have at least some other allies in 'dis world." Applejack remarked.

"Sadly, Captain Goodguy will take days to make more of his spray." Chrysalis said with a sigh. "And even before then, it would be too risky to bring them here in case their doubles get hurt."

"Chrysalis, if it's not too much trouble, can you tell us more about the talismans?" Twilight asked off a question that was on her mind right now.

"As in like, inform us about what we're getting into here?" Rainbow Dash pointed off in liking to know what they are facing beforehand.

"Of course, please forgive me...I suppose if the enemy obtains them, you must know what you'll be facing." Chrysalis nodded her head in seeing what this was going to turn into now.

"You said there were nine in all, one dark red, one dark orange, one dark yellow, one dark green, one dark blue, one dark indigo, one dark violet, one dark pink and one black." Spike pointed out that they knew the colors, but wondering what abilities the talismans would give.

"Very well, I shall tell you..." Chrysalis nodded forth in deciding to explain things more.

"Okay..." Fluttershy nodded off meekly as they get ready to listen up.

"Now then, so far, you saw what Fluttershy and Pinkie's talismans do, correct?" Shining asked the ones from the other universe seriously.

"Yes, we did." Pinkie said, scoffing a bit. "And it wasn't nice, either."

"Well, those talismans granted Pinkie Pie telekinesis which includes force field generation and energy blasts. Fluttershy got the telepathic link with plants." Chrysalis said, explaining what Other Pinkie and Other Fluttershy's talismans do.

"Oh, so it's like Fluttershy's ability except with plants." Rainbow guessed.

"Correct. Now, according to the research that Trixie had done, we know what the other talismans can do." Chrysalis said as she counted off the other talismans. "Other Applejack's talisman can grant her the ability to have future vision and mind-reading."

"Dang!" Applejack exclaimed in shock, "Ah never expected mahself 'ta have that!

"For Other Rarity, she has the ability to shapeshift." Chrysalis said, saying what Other Rarity's talisman does.

"Goodness! Of course, if it was used for good, I would've have the ability to be more beautiful." Rarity said with a thoughtful look and giggle.

"I'll say it does." Spike said with a loving sigh.

"Rainbow Dash, the other one, can give her the ability to teleport." Chrysalis said as she explained what Other Rainbow's talisman could do for her.

"That would be awesome! If it were for good purposes, though." Rainbow remarked.

"For Other Twilight, it can give her the ability to intangibility." Chrysalis said, motioning to Twilight.

"Intang-what now?" Pinkie asked, blinking her eyes in confusion.

"In other words, it caused folks to go through walls like ghosts." Shining translated to Pinkie.

"Yikes!" Pinkie gasped.

"And what about me?" Spike asked, scared as to what abilities his other counterpart would get with his talisman.

"Size-shifting and duplication." Chrysalis said, making Spike gulp a bit. Changing sizes was one thing...but if his evil self used duplication, it would be like dealing with one army of Dragons!

"Yikes!" Spike exclaimed with a gulp of fear. Not good!

"Boy howdy, each o' them sounds as bad as de next!" Applejack stated off.

"Which is why we need to get them and keep them from coming together." Chrysalis explained to her friends about the dangers.

"If not, we could kiss the Mirrorverse goodbye." Twilight said in concern.

Then without warning, Captain Goodguy appeared by smoke before the Mane Six and Spike.

"This is terrible, just terrible!" Captain Goodguy exclaimed to say this off, as if sounding distressed now, until..."I've ran out of milk to go with my cookies & I forgot to buy some!" He showed he was out of milk to pour in a glass for his plate of cookies.

"Is that the only thing you pop up to tell us?" Rainbow Dash raised an eyebrow, not believing this guy.

"Actually, no, there's actually worse news to be heard." Captain Goodguy exclaimed to say this in getting back on track of things of being here.

"You’re out of chocolate cookies?" Pinkie Pie asked off in thinking of what the worse news was to be expected.

"Well, yes, I am...but that's beside the point." Captain Goodguy thought over that before he quickly changed back to the main subject. "While you were all busy dealing with what was stopping you, Queen Chrysalis just got word, all of the hidden talismans have been stolen." He explained that they have a major crisis on their hands that the hidden talismans have been taken.

"What?!" The gang yelped at hearing this, that can't be good.

"But how could they all have been taken at once?" Spike asked off in not knowing how this even happened.

"Apparently, they were dug underground...and it seem someone dug from below to take them. I believe this is the work of the Diamond Dogs for Hire." Captain Goodguy explained off in feeling like some certain dogs were behind this.

"Goodness, you mean those brutes that want lots of gems?" Rarity gasped in realizing that this world's Mirrorverse had Diamond Dogs that were still bad.

"Well, these are different, compared to your world. The Diamond Dogs for Hire Trio: Rover, Spot & Fido, are a service unit where if you pay them gems, they'll do any digging and bring you valuable treasures as long as the price is right. They are tough but fair here. But they are not evil, just...easily useful for anyone to purchase their service." Captain Goodguy exclaimed to smile off in stating that the Diamond Dogs are not bad, they can be paid to aid others for a good service deal.

"Then tell us, do they have all them talismans?" Applejack asked off in pondering if the enemy has what they seek'd out.

"Not yet, according to Queen Chrysalis, one of her drones overheard them meeting at a certain location to make the trade-off. If you hurry, you might just stop the Erroneous Equines before the hour of our doom is upon us." Captain Goodguy explained that while the Erroneous Equines didn't have the talismans, they will have them when getting the trade-off done at the specific location.

"But how did they even managed all of this?" Fluttershy asked in how the enemy which is them in this world, even achieve something like that.

"Well, we suspect that Other Rarity could use her greed of having many gems to bribe the Diamond Dogs for Hire, all according to Other Twilight's plan to speed things up. We apparently been HAD to believe they didn't think up this plan four steps ahead of us." Captain Goodguy explained off that the Erroneous Equines had been planning this step from the beginning, and now will have the needs to win unless they were stopped.

"Then we don't have a moment to lose, tell us where the will gather the talismans together." Twilight issued forth in deciding that they need to quickly step up their game, and pronto.

Now Captain Goodguy was explaining this to the group as they nodded in having been told where the evil versions of them were gonna collect the talismans at. They all raced off to quickly stop this before the worse may happen...

The scene changes to a location that appeared to be the Mirrorverse version of the mountain area of Equestria. Right now, the different versions of Rover, Fido & Spot are seen coming out of the ground, carrying what appears to be a suitcase. Appearing before them was Other Twilight, Other Rainbow Dash & Other Rarity, in which the latter carried a bag of what was likely gemstones.

"Have you brought what we asked?" Other Twilight spoke off in wanting to know if these dogs have done as they were requested in their paid service.

"Right here!" Other Spot stated to pop open the brief case, to show a set talisman collection of at least seven in all.

"Excellent, Rarity, if you would." Other Twilight nods with a smile before signaling her friend for payment.

"A deal's a deal, though your prices seem a little too high to me." Other Rarity rolled her eyes to toss a large bag of gems in feeling like she didn't wanna part, but...they will pay much for power it seems.

"Them's the deal when you request Diamond Dogs for Hire, we do the work no matter what digging request to be paid a fair amount." Other Fido exclaimed to say that they did as paid to do, they don't choose who they work for as long as they pay up for their service for hire.

"Now if you'll excuse us, we be going now, our work here is done, bye now..." Other Rover stated to say this that with the business done, they will go now.

Now the Diamond Dogs for Hire soon went underground to dig away with their trade being done with a bag of gems. Now the few members of the Erroneous Equines gaze at their prize here.

"Those dumb dogs have no idea in what they just did in signing this world's doom." Other Rainbow Dash remarked off in making fun of those dumb mutts that don't even know what they really did for them.

"Simple-heads to use, now we just need the others to join us, & soon all the talismans will be brought together." Other Twilight stated to say this in knowing that when their other members holding their talismans arrive, everything will be brought together.

"Think again, Erroneous Equines!" Spoke out a voice, as the three mares turn to find the Mane Six & Spike standing against them from one side as it was a stare down between the case with the last talismans there.

"Well now, look who decided to stop by, our goody-two-shoe selves with them being fashionably late while being fashion-less," Other Rarity slyly remarked off in seeing who arrived late to the party while insulting their style.

"I beg your pardon?" Rarity protest off in having heard what her evil self just said about their fashion sense, rude much...

"Rainbow! Secure the Talismans!" Both Twilight & Other Twilight order this out for what they had to do now.

"Got-it!" Both Rainbow Dash & Other Rainbow Dash responded out in hearing this as they zoom forward to grab the case before the other...

However, both Rainbows clashed to knock the brief case across the field to scatter the last talismans on the ground. Which as everyone saw, meant one thing; it was time to play keep-away!

The group yelps as some plants came in, almost getting them though knocking the suitcase away as a result. Other Fluttershy, Other Applejack and Other Pinkie came onto the scene with Other Spike.

"Yeah, we done knew yew would be needing our help." Other Applejack remarks, glaring at her other self. "Okay, other me, Ah is taking yew out!"

"Sez yew!" Applejack snaps as she charges in and butt heads quickly.

"Get the case!" Other Twilight scowls at Other Spike.

The evil Spike rushes over to get the case, but the good version grabs it with his tail, saying, "I will take that."

"Give me!" Other Spike growls as he pounces to assault the good Spike like mad. No one tries to take his talisman and everyone else’s!

"Throw it over here!" Shining exclaims as he, Chrysalis and Captain Goodguy arrives on the scene. Spike throws the suitcase over to the trio quickly as Chrysalis grabs it. "Yes!"

"GET THAT CASE!" The Twilights yells as they fire blasts at one another.

The evil version of Pinkie fires energy blasts at the Mirrorverse, causing them to dodge and flee quickly. One of the blast hits Chrysalis, causing her to lose the case which slides onto the ground.

"Got it now!" Other Fluttershy laughs as she has one of her plants grab the suitcase, bringing it over. "Come to mommy!'

"No!" Captain Goodguy exclaims as he charges in. But Other Pinkie fires her force field, causing him to hit it hard. "Owie!"

"Get that case, already!" Rainbow exclaims in annoyance. "Horse feathers, how many times must that be safe?!"

"How long have we been working on this story?! Who cares?!" Pinkie exclaims with her arms in the case. "I want to get to the other stories before the other half of season 5!"

"Pinkie, random."

Just as the Mane Six & Spike were about to charge into the action, they yelped when some shooting was happening that they yelp to get to cover. As they peaked out, they found to their surprise, the Cutie Mark Traitors had machine guns, & took aim at where the group were hiding.

"Ye ain't gettin' nowhere, goodie-two-shoe sisters!" Other Apple Bloom remarked off to say this to the good guys.

"You are staying put right here!" Other Sweetie Belle stated off with a sly wicked smile in what they are gonna do here.

"Make a move, & you'll get schooled!" Other Scootaloo issued off to say this

Now the CMT continued to blast away at the group that was hiding under their cover. This was awful, being pin down by three fillies, & they are playing with weapons they shouldn't be using.

"How embarrassing." Spike groans as he slaps his own forehead. "Being pinned by other versions of our filly pals."

"At least there isn't a Mirrorverse of Nyx with them." Twilight said with a sigh. She paused, getting nervous. "Is there?"

"So far no." Shining said to the Equestria Prime version of his sister. "The evil that was in Luna is now in Sombra...unless some parts of that evil got lost somehow."

"I hope not."

"So uh, any idea on how to stop these three?" Fluttershy ask nervously. She hates to hurt what looks like her filly friends back home, but the heroes are limited on options here.

"You know what, I think I got just the idea, AJ, rope them up when I give the word!" Rainbow Dash remarked off in being tired of this situation, it's time to take action.

Then without warning, Rainbow Dash flew up in the air with her fast speed, but the CMT saw & were aiming to clip her wings. But from the distraction, AJ used her lasso to hog-tie the weapons out of the fillies clutches.

"Hugh? Waaahhh!" Then the CMT not only were confused, but then Rainbow Dash zip by to grab their tails to haul them upwards.

"Time you fillies took a good....TIME OUT!" Rainbow Dash issued off to say this as she spun around that made the fillies dizzy before tossing them to skid & knock against some stuff which made them groan & ache while falling unconscious.

"Rainbow! Ye didn't have ta go & do dat!" Applejack snapped off to argue about Rainbow's method of handling that.

"They are only fillies!" Rarity stated that these CMT were still just children.

"Who were blasting us, what you expect could knock them out?" Rainbow Dash issued off to point out this case to her pals.

"Wait, since we're in the Anti-pain spray stuff Captain Goodguy gave us, won't this action we sent to the other CMC since we inflected pain to them?" Pinkie Pie explained off the stuff that if they hit the opposite versions here, the pain gets sent to those from their world.

"Oh boy....I hate to think what they are doing right now!" Spike exclaimed off in thinking this could make an unsettling development.

Meanwhile, back in Equestria Prime...

The scene opens about a familiar treehouse in where the CMC are at their usual gathering right now? Unaware of things that were going on at this point in time.

"Girls, have you seen any of my mommy, her friends or your sisters?" Nyx asked off this question to appear before her friends in asking for some help.

"Nope, sorry Nyx." Apple Bloom shook her head off in stating that they have not seen anyone.

"Haven't seen them yet." Scootaloo shook her head in also agreeing on the subject.

"We're in the middle of another cutie mark challenge, &..." Sweetie Belle was about to say something of their current activity when...

Then without warning at that moment, something by magic knocked the CMC across to which they knock into stuff, then fell out of their treehouse to hit the ground. Nyx gasped at this, then flew down to check on her friends.

"Girls! What happened?" Nyx asked off in helping them up, they look like something knock the wind out of them.

"Augh, felt like something knock de stuffin' out o' me!" Apple Bloom stated to say this in holding her head.

"Ow, feels like we got beat up, but...from what?" Sweetie Belle stated to say in rubbing her shoulder as if unseen pain was inflicted.

"This is so weird, & yet...the pain feels real." Scootaloo stated off to ache from her movement, how did this happen.

"Maybe you should see Granny Smith & have her treat you, I'll continue the search..." Nyx stated this suggestion in what her friends should do now.

"Alright..." The CMC nods off to say this before they carefully were moving their aching bodies, Nyx found in shocking that something hurt them, but there was nothing around.

"Weird, this case is strange. First everyone disappears without a word, then some unknown thing hurts my friends when there was no one around. I better let daddy know about this, it could be an enemy attack." Nyx stated off in finding this was a weird case, maybe it's connected to where Twilight, Spike & the Mane Five went off to.

Now Nyx quickly rushed off to return to Rainbow Castle to inform her father of what happened. All while not knowing that someone from another side of things, caused such pain without really meaning to. Oh boy, this'll be hard for the CMC to figure out....

"Well, they aren't dead." Shining announce, checking on the CMT. "But they got a lot to answer for their role with my sister and her friends."

"Right, we must get back to the matter at hoof here." Chrysalis said seriously. "Where are the talismans?"

"Uh oh. They're gone." Spike yelps, noticing that the case is missing. This doesn't look good.

"Wait, where's the enemy?" Fluttershy asked off worried in not seeing where the enemy was now.

"Right....here!" Other Fluttershy's voice was heard from a creepy distance.

Then the gang looked over beyond the horizon to suddenly find the Erroneous Equines on top of a cliff. And then through evil version Twilight's magic made the talismans circle around in which from their respective color counted...nine!

"And look what we got with us, dearies." Other Rarity smiled off wickedly in stating that they got what they wanted.

"The final Talismans!" Rarity gasped upon seeing the final talismans they tried to prevent from falling into evil clutches has fallen.

"Oh no! That means they have all nine of those things!" Spike yelps in realizing what this could very much mean.

"Oh but there is more, for you see...when all nine talismans are brought together...it'll give us great power." Other Twilight explained forth this sinister scheme of what they plan to do.

"Yeah, we know the story, we heard it already." Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes in having heard this story already.

"But did you know what happens after, Lame-o?" Other Rainbow Dash made a wise-crack that sounded like an insult remark.

"And with this spell, our rule over our world, & then soon....YOUR world begins!" Other Twilight exclaimed forth to say this in with all nine talismans, they shall become invincible.

And suddenly without warning, the talismans let off an eerie glow effect before an aura wave of their colors reach above, the different colors began to merge & mix, forming....one big black aura of magic. Then it shot down to engulf the Erroneous Equines as everyone was watching in horror of what was going on. The opposite versions of the Mane Six saw what look like dark twisted versions of their Rainbow Forms that the Erroneous Equines were becoming, each with bat-like wings, messy mane, symbol marks of their evil cutie marks on their hooves that made three claw marks appear, & a large overflowing dark aura off their bodies. The Other Versions of the Mane Six, the Erroneous Equines have truly become EVIL versions of the good guys.

"Oh no!" Applejack gasped off in seeing this.

"Oh...YES!" Evil Applejack issued off in stating that this was real here.

"We know about a Rainbow Form you goodies got, but say hello...to the DARK....Rainbow Force, cause we're in our Dark Rainbow Forms now!" Evil Pinkie Pie cackled off to say this in sounding like she's really gone mad now.

"This can't be happening!" Twilight gasped off in realizing what was going on here?

"The evil versions of us have obtain power that they can use to conquer this Mirrorverse entirely! Will then stop here? Will they plan to invade our home area? Will we even stop them in time? Tune in next time to..." Pinkie Pie was breaking the fourth wall in sounding like an announcer signing off an episode of what will happen next for the heroes, but got cut off...

"PINKIE!" The Mane Five shouted of in stopping their pink friend from her random moment.

"What, I was gonna make a closure announcement to our viewers watching this suspense moment & see us in the next moment." Pinkie Pie replied back in not following along her random moment until....it got her. "Oh, right....sorry. Too much gloom & doom, I got it." She sheepishly replied off in getting what was going on.

With things looking grim, can anything help the Mane Six fight off against their super powered up evil selves of an alternate world? The scene goes dark now as that is a question....left to be solved for later...

Author's Note

The time of doom is here. The Erroneous Equines has their Dark Rainbow Power! In the next chapter, it's a showdown as the ponies tried to separate their evil selves to stop them, but their Dark Rainbow Power made it difficult to fight them. And when all hope appears to be lost, a mysterious voice is heard to assist them. Read, review and suggest!

Chapter 3: The Battle of the Sevenes

Chapter 3: The Battle of the Sevenes

Last time we left off, Twilight & her group were brought to the Mirrorverse to stop their other selves from obtaining all nine talismans together. The mission didn't go so well, for not only did the Erroneous Equines gain the upper hand in their task, but they transformed into their Dark Rainbow Forms. How are the heroes supposed to compete against this type of enemy that has become harder to beat then before.

"Oh man, this does not look good!" Other Shining Armor exclaimed with worry of the situation here.

"One talisman was hard, two nearly twice the difficulty, but now...now all nine are brought together!" Queen Chrysalis exclaimed with a serious face that from all the talismans gather as one, the enemy is more dangerous than ever.

"I can't believe this is happening. It's like seeing our own Rainbow Forms, but in a nightmare version of it." Twilight stated to say this in seeing what was happening here, it's like seeing the Rainbow Forms of themselves gone evil.

"Now they are no longer called our 'Others', but now 'Evil' selves since they obtain some dark powers now." Pinkie Pie pointed out to say this that now they have to address those they called 'Other' before their name, 'Evil' cause now they look & appear like powered up evil forms.

Captain Goodguy comment, "If we can keep that gang separated, I would probably be powerful enough to handle either one of the two-talisman-powered gangsters; albeit just barely. I know Chrysalis would be powerful enough to handle the other one of the two-talisman-powered criminals with the help of your universe's Twilight. Once the two of THEM are defeated, then the nine of us would be free to focus our combined might on the five single-talisman-powered evil-doers, especially that 'Rainbow Power' I heard you have now."

"Gulp, can we even win?" Spike swallowed hard in feeling this may be hard to win when they have a little disadvantage now.

"Never fear friends! So long as you have I, Captain Goodguy, & Queen Chrysalis, we shall standby your side till the end!" Captain Goodguy proclaimed to appear as a general wielding a sword, preparing to go to war here.

"Then why not try this, Captain Goodbye?" Evil Rainbow Dash taunted off to say this to the guy.

"Goodbye?" Captain Goodguy replied off puzzled in why his name was changed as if he was going somewhere unless....uh-oh; now he gets the pun joke.

Then without warning, the Erroneous Equines unleashed a dark beam blast of great size that was coming near the group. Captain Goodguy & Queen Chrysalis couldn't dodge as the blast knock them far from the gang.

"Chrysalis!" Other Shining Armor yelled out in seeing his love get knock across over the lands.

"It appears I spoke too son, we'll be out of the battle as we're knock all the way to a China-theme town! Stay alive, friends!" Captain Goodguy's voice was heard yelling off across the distance before he & Chrysalis vanish like a shooting star to have been knock out of the battle before it even has started.

"Okay, that was seriously crazy." Rainbow Dash pointed off in seeing what just happened, was unbelievable.

"Man, in all honesty, when we fought Tirek wit' them powers, even with so much magic, it did him nothin'." Applejack stated in looking concern, beating Tirek when they had the power seem easy, but their evil selves just took out Captain Goodguy & Chrysalis like it was a breeze to them.

"Gulp....so, what do we do now?" Fluttershy swallowed hard in fearing the situation was not to their liking.

"You can beg for mercy." Evil Fluttershy cruelly suggested this off in what the heroes can do.

"Or get turn into cupcakes." Evil Pinkie Pie suggested an insane idea that made many feel disturbed by the thought.

"Cause don't matter wha ye can dish out." Evil Applejack remarked off that no matter what the good guys here can do won't save them.

"It won't save you from what power has made us become, and I must say....we look marvelous!" Evil Rarity smiled off to marvel at their looks that from such a display, all will bow to them.

"Ahhh, you like such dark looks, now wouldn't you?" Rarity protest off in feeling that her other self has truly lost it in becoming more evil then before.

"Enough of this girls, lets finish what was left unsettled." Evil Twilight cuts in to state this as the main leader as she smiles evilly that it's time they ended the heroes here for good now.

"Heh, you all can enjoy beating your goody selves, the wimpy Dragon is mine to clobber." Evil Spike stated off to chuckle while cracking his knuckles now.

"Twilight, I sure hope we can get through this before these guys can even try to invade our home." Spike whispered this to the smart mare in hoping they can stop these foes before they can invade their Equestria.

"I know Spike. Right now, I'm hoping that Ben & the others aren't having as bad of difficulties as we are right now." Twilight stated to say this in wishing that those back home are not having any difficulties at this time...

Meanwhile, back in Equestria Prime, Ben was being led by Nyx & Phobos to the Apple's Farm where something seem to have crashed.

"What's all the trouble?" Ben asked off in pondering what was going on.

"Derpy was making her mail deliver when a bird flew against her face. She fell by Sweet Apple Acres & the Apples were concerned that they needed help." Nyx stated off in what was going on before the mentioned pony fell around here.

"Eeyup!" Big Mac nods his head off in agreement there.

"And she landed right over near our tomato batch!" Granny Smith pointed off in where Derpy fell near, a bush of tomatoes.

"Okay...let’s see what..." Ben was about to say something when he was cut off...

"Ugh....O." Then appearing out of the tomato batch was Derpy, but she yelped while looking all covered in....RED!

"WAAAAAAAUGH! DERPY'S COVERED IN BLOOD!" Phobos screamed out in horror in seeing what was wrong with Derpy.

"Sweet Nelly! Are we's gonna be sued fer this! But I didn't do nothin' here!" Tough Apple yelps off in thinking this will get them arrested or something for this.

"Wait a second." Ben stated in checking what was wrong with the pony as he used a hanky.

"What's wrong daddy?" Nyx asked her father in what was wrong here until...

"No reason to panic you guys, Derpy's not covered in blood, this stuff is actually tomato juice." Ben turn to the others in explaining that what Derpy was covered in was actually not blood, just tomato juice.

"WAAAAAAAUGH! DERPY'S COVERED IN TOMATO JUICE!" Phobos screamed off in still being horrified by what Derpy was covered in.

"So anyway...there's no problem here." Ben rolled his eyes in seeing this was no danger or any serious problem here.

"Few....fer a moment, thought we were in big trouble." Tough Apple sighs in relief to have heard this.

"Nnnope!" Big Mac shook his head off in stating they are good, they are in not trouble in any causalities with Derpy here.

"By de way, when ye find Applejack, tell her ta come by, won't'cha?" Granny Smith stated to say this to Ben in passing this message to her granddaughter.

"We will!" Nyx nods off in stating this while her family turn to leave the scene.

"Right....as soon as I find her along with Twilight & the others." Ben whispered this off to not alarm the Apples about the Mane Six's disappearing act. "Well, hopefully wherever they are, they aren't in any dangerous situations?" Ben whispered this off in hoping there was no problems as dangerous for Twilight & the rest to be in while they handle things here.

While Ben may have wished for that, what was happening where the Mane Six were at was not the case...

"LOOKOUT! WERE IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION!" Pinkie Pie shouted off this in sounding like the Mane Six bunch are in a dangerous situation at this very moment.

And true to that, the Mane Six find themselves in another strange mess going on. The Erroneous Equines wielding their Dark Rainbow Power was hammering down on the good guys to either they dodge or find cover...The fate of what was gonna happen to the Mirrorverse was now, & so far...the heroes are just trying to stay alive while their enemies begin to toy with the powerless ponies...

"How in 'dis world can we stop them?" Applejack asks her friends in concern.

"Captain Goodguy and Chrysalis did said that if separated, these girls aren't powerful. So if we separate them and keep them away from one another, we may have a chance." Twilight said thoughtfully.

"But how can we do that?" Fluttershy ask Twilight in concern.

"Allow me. CANNONBALL!" Pinkie exclaims as she took out her party cannon at the highest level, sending a shot at the Erroneous Equines.

The evil seven yelps as the shot knocked them a few feet away from one another. Good, that should work!

"Pick a partner, ponies!" Applejack exclaims in determination. "Namely yerselves!"

The ponies and Spike rush to go after their evil twin. Hopefully if they defeat the evil twins, the rest will be a breeze!

Pinkamena was seen watching the events from a bit faraway, as she has seen what was occurring as they speak.

"Looks like things are going to be tough but I can't help them. I might end up getting in the way. For now, I just need to watch & wait for a moment to strike...if things are looking their worse." Pinkamena exclaimed off to say this in feeling all she can do is wait for if a moment calls for her attention to act, but only when things look dire.

The pink mare in armor signs as she continues to watch the action of the Mane Six face off against the Erroneous Equines in their Dark Rainbow Forms. Hoping that her friends can handle this, & hoping they can win this one....somehow.

The battle between the Mane Six and the Erroneous Equines was about to begin.

"Okay, sugah cube! Time 'ta go ugly on yew like ugly on ape!" Applejack exclaimed.

The mare twirled her rope and threw it at her opponent, but Evil Applejack moved in time.

"Hey, how..." Applejack began to say.

"Ah did 'dat? Ah can see 'de future, varmint...an' read minds!" Evil Applejack taunts her good self. "Ah knew what yew were doing before yew were even doing it!"

"'Dat's dishonest!" Applejack exclaimed furiously. "Yer're..."

"An embarrassment 'ta mah family, like Ah care fer those ingrates." Evil Applejack finisheed Applejack's sentence.

"Okay, 'dat's..." Applejack started, a bit annoyed that her evil self was finishing her sentences now.

"...annoying?" Evil Applejack asked with an evil smirk.

"Stop 'dat!" Applejack exclaimed, snorting a bit. She yelped as a blast came from her evil self's talisman.

"Did we forget 'dat mention we got a bit o' Rainbow Power?" Evil Applejack taunted, revealing another power.

Meanwhile, Rarity was having trouble as her evil self reveal the same power, causing the mare to dodge like mad.

"So where is this shape shifting power?" Rarity asked, arching an eyebrow. Evil Rarity responded by turning into Other Luna when she was mad. "AAAHH! I HAD TO ASK!"

Evil Rarity/Other Luna fires magical blasts at Rarity who barely dodges them. She booms in the Royal Canterlot Voice, "THOU AND YOUR FRIENDS ARE WEAK! THOU SHOULDN'T HAVE COME HERE!"

"Oh, we'll see about that, you uncouth mule!" Rarity snapped in determination. A mule sound was heard, making her turn to a mule nearby, saying, "No offense."

"None taken." The mule said.

The mule rushed off the battlefield as 'Other Luna' fired rainbow blasts at her opponent. Meanwhile, both Pinkies crashed heads with Pinkie firing shots from her Party Cannon which Evil Pinkie blocked with her force field generating.

"Come on, play fair!" Pinkie whined to herself. "You're just blocking. Unfair!"

"You want fair?! Go to one!" Evil Pinkie laughed as she jumped up, throwing energy blast at the good self, making her yelp and bounce to avoid the blasts.

"Awww, that isn't nice!" Pinkie whined a bit.

"Who said I was nice?" Evil Pinkie exclaimed madly. She took out some knives. "When I can have Pinkie Cupcakes?!"

Pinkie screamed frantically as Evil Pinkie prepared to attack...only was knocked down very fast by an unknown attacker in a familiar suit.

"Hey, who the buck are you?!" Evil Pinkie snapped angrily.

The figure winked to Pinkie, who grinned. She knew who this was.

"Sorry, evil Pinkie other than the one I know: no pony cupcakes for you today!" Pinkamena exclaimed, disguising her voice to keep anypony but the good Pinkie from knowing who she was.

"Why, you interfering cheater!" Evil Pinkie roared.

"Hey, an eye for an eye, like a cheat for a cheat like Eddie Plant in Pixels!" Pinkamena exclaimed. She turns to the camera, adding, "Seriously, folks. JusSonic likes the film so don't judge it too badly...although, the ending with Q*Bert turning into a woman? What's with that? Can't the aliens give Lady Lisa as a prize than go for that? And the babies? How creepy is that? When the authors go for their inspiration story, no worries, folks, they won't do that route or do anything to make a gender bender!"

"I agree! I mean, that part was TOTALLY gross!" Pinkie remarked in disgust.

"What are you talking about?! Who are you talking to?!" Evil Pinkie asked in confusion. "There's nopony there!"

Uh, girls? Can we get back to the story please?

"Okie dokie lokie!" The Pinkies exclaimed as they got back to fighting.

Nyx walked around until she found Flare Tiger, who was busy with a sale. The Alicorn filly decided to run to her then tap on her leg. Flare Tiger hummed and looked at Nyx but noticed something wrong, which come from face's writing.

Flare Tiger worried, asked the black filly, "Nyx... Is there something wrong?"

Nyx nodded as she told Flare Tiger about not being able to find the Mane Six and Spike, also strange that happened was when she witness her three friends who were knocked away. Flare Tiger realized something when she put piece to piece into whole.

Flare Tiger nodded as she spoke, "Not to worry, Nyx, just have faith in them... Ah promise ya."

Nyx looked up as she asked, "Really?"

Flare Tiger nodded as she watched Nyx's smile and trotted away. The mare turned up to the sky with a mumble, "What have y'all got into?" Then she turned to her business and kept working on it.

"What the hay did we get ourselves into?!" Fluttershy squeaked as she dodged the rainbow blasted from Other Fluttershy while dodging the planets send.

"Hee hee. You are nothing more than a mare who can't fly." Evil Fluttershy madly taunted herself. "Fluttershy, Fluttershy, Fluttershy who could barely fly."

Hearing this caused Fluttershy to stop in place with widened eyes before they started welling with tears as she started whimpering.

"Wimp, wimp! Worse than your pathetic animals!" Evil Fluttershy exclaims wickedly.

Hearing that made Fluttershy gasp, then growl angrily.

"HOW DARE YOU!" Fluttershy roared as she jumped at herself, ripping through the plants trying to get in her ways. "I can take being labeled a non-flyer...but no one but no one makes fun of my animal friends!" She gave out the Stare, snapping, "You may look like me BUT DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT MAKE MINE OF MY ANIMAL FRIENDS AGAIN, DO YOU HEAR ME?!" Evil Fluttershy flinched in fear from her goody-goody counterpart's Stare along with her yelling.

Rainbow, meanwhile, tried to hit Evil Rainbow, but she kept teleporting and firing Dark Rainbow Blasts.

"Ha ha ha! Man, Gilda put up a better fight than you and she's a wimp!" Evil Rainbow taunted Rainbow wickedly. "I am the most powerful fastest flier in this world! No pony can beat me!"

"Ugh, and I thought I had an ego problem!" Rainbow groaned a bit. "Was I really like that during the Mare Do Well thing?"

"Well, duh! Of course you were!" Pinkie remarked after she stopped fighting Evil Pinkie briefly while looking at her friend.

"Hey, Fluttershy, need some help?" Evil Rainbow asked slyly as she spotted her ally beaten subdued by Fluttershy. The evil version teleported near the good mare and kicked her in the face, sending the good one packing.

"Hey, you don't beat on my friends!" Rainbow exclaimed angrily to her evil self. "Not even me!"

"She just did, Rainbow Crash!" Evil Fluttershy remarked cruelly, and the two evil pegasus ponies laughed together at it.

"Nice one, pal!" Evil Rainbow complimented her teammate while the two gave each other a hoof bump.

"You okay?" Rainbow asked as she help her good friend up.

"Eeep. Meanie. I don't like an evil version of you." Fluttershy said, whimpering a bit.

"Don't be scared. Face up to them, be assertive." Rainbow said to Fluttershy calmly. "Juuuuust don't be assertive to the point of being a brute like when you took Iron Will's lessons too far."

"Rainbow Crash and Klutzershy, sittin' in a tree!" Evil Rainbow sang.

"K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" Evil Rainbow and Evil Fluttershy said in unison, "First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes Lamebow with a baby carriage!" The two bullies then started laughing wildly like hyenas.

Overhearing this, Applejack stopped fighting her evil counterpart briefly as she remarked angrily, "Now, just a minute! That's goin' TOO far!"

"Yeah, ain't it terrific?!" Evil Applejack asked cruelly with an evil laugh.

Hearing the bullies' teasing caused Fluttershy to get into the assertiveness she once had with Iron Will as she shouted in rage, "NOW IT'S PERSONAL!!!"

Then, before anypony knew it, Evil Fluttershy found herself tackled and being punched repeatedly while in flight.

Twilight and Shining fired energy blasts at Other Twilight who got through walls quickly. She reappeared behind Other Shining and punched him in the snout.

"Shining!" Twilight exclaimed in shock. She glared at her evil self. "He just wanted to be your big brother and care, and you're bullying him!"

"He's a wimp, unsuitable to be my big brother!" Evil Twilight remarked cruelly. "I don't see what my Cadance ever saw in him in the first place!"

"Siblings are special and important! They look out for one another like family as I look like for my son Spike!" Twilight exclaimed furiously to her evil self.

"Who is about to be stomped by my boy Spike." Evil Twilight chuckled cruelly. Sure enough, Spike was on the run from Evil Spike, who had grown big and was trying to stomp him. "Oh, good boy, Spike. Mommy's so proud."

"Death to baby slaves!" Evil Spike roared in a deep voice while stomping towards his good counterpart.

"Spike, Spike! Use the moves!" Twilight calls out to Spike.

Spike nodded as he used the Flame Step, flying up and kicking his evil self in the chin hard.

"Oww! Why, you little--!!" Evil Spike snarled while holding his chin in pain.

"Dragon Rage!" Spike exclaimed, firing an energy blast from his mouth, knocking Evil Spike back. "Yeah, all right, I rock!"

Evil Spike growled as he made duplicates of himself, all of them roared at Spike.

"Okay, no problem. DRAGON KAMEHAMEHA!" Spike exclaimed. He fired a big blast, quickly destroying the duplicates in one blast. "Phew...oh crud, I left the original me standing!"

Evil Spike growled as he fired a blast at Spike, knocking him towards Twilight.

"Spike, are you okay?" Twilight ask worried as she help her adopted brother/son up.

"Yes, Cindy, its half past 12 and here comes the Buckinghams with...kind of a drag." Spike groaned in a daze.

"Is he stupid or what?" Evil Twilight laughed, "He should've been treated like a slave and wind up dead, not living like a dumb friend and be with losers like you!"

"Those 'losers' are my friends!" Twilight snorted as she fired an Unicorn Burst, knocking her evil self back. "And I won't let you treat them like trash!"

Evil Rarity turned into Other Celestia and began firing blasts at her good self and Applejack, who both moved to dodge. This fight was becoming more intense!

"Dang it, how is we supposed 'ta fight ponies who can predict 'de future an' who could shape forms?" Applejack asked with a groan.

"We must try something unpredictable, something they won't expect." Rarity said thoughtfully then grabs some mud, throwing it on herself.

"What is yew doing?" Applejack asked puzzled.

"What? Why is she throwing mud onto herself?" Evil Rarity asked bewildered. "She is fussy and isn't supposed to do that."

"Oh yes, Ah do git it." Applejack said thoughtfully. She zipped off and returns in a frou-frou dress. "My, mah hooves are sure fancy. Wow, mah hair is beautiful. Ah want jewels all over me."

"Confused!" Evil Applejack exclaimed, confused. "Ah didn't predict 'dis! Ah normally predict stuff normally!"

"Then predict this!" Rarity exclaimed, throwing mud onto Evil Applejack's eyes, causing her to scream. "Can't predict or read mines if you don't know your opponent well, do you?"

"What in the world?!" Evil Rarity asked in shock.

"Oh, check out mah fancy, Rarity. Come check it closely." Applejack said with a smirk as she did something unexpected: grabbing Rarity and kissing her.

"Ugh, disgusting! Confused, you two aren't supposed to do that!" Evil Rarity exclaimed in bewilderment and disgust.

The two mares then smirked secretly then jumped up, pouncing on the two evil mares, knocking them down.

"Expect the unexpected!" Rarity exclaims with a proud smirk. "Oh, Applejack, darling? What happened? Never happen."

"Nnope!" Applejack agreed with a smirk.

Meanwhile, the Pinkies were having a bit of trouble with their evil self. They needed a plan, but how?

"Simple!" Pinkie exclaimed, throwing a black hole underneath herself. Evil Pinkie yelped as she fell in.

"What was that?" Pinkamena asked Pinkie, blinking in curiosity.

"A plot hole!" Pinkie giggled in delight over the joke.

"Okay, I'd have enough of this!" Evil Twilight snorted in fury. Her allies were being beaten. "Rainbow!"

"Yeah, yeah." Evil Rainbow groaned as she pushed Fluttershy and grabbed the evil one, teleporting away and dropping her near Evil Twilight. "Don't move!"

Evil Rainbow teleported around quickly, grabbing the other mares and dropping them in the right place. Evil Spike just came over with no problem.

As everyone reunited, they watched in horror as the evil mares were together...and bringing forth their Dark Rainbow Power.

"This seven on seven has been fun, but the fun is over!" Evil Twilight exclaimed wickedly. "It's time to end this!"

"Yeah! It's time to activate... DARK RAINBOW POWER!!!" Evil Pinkie snarled with an eerie and dramatic tone while grinning widely... REALLY widely.

"Gah! Evil smile!" Pinkie exclaimed frantically. "It's like Fredbear creeping up on you!"

"Who?!" Most of everyone asked in confusion.

"Oops. Wrong universe." Pinkie said in embarrassment with a squee.

Things were looking bad for the gang, the Erroneous Equines were proving to be tougher with their power of their Dark Rainbow Power. If nothing is done, then the heroes will be toast soon....

"Answer me this, if you wish to survive." Spoke a mysterious male voice within the air that was heard....by Spike, who recovered, alone.

"Hugh?" Spike responded off in hearing the voice, was someone talking to him, but who?

"Do you wish for your friends to win?" The mysterious voice spoke off to say in sounding like it wanted to help.

"Of course, but...who are you? Where are you?" Spike responded off, but he could not find who he was talking to.

"Let’s just say, I am here, but yet...I am not there." The mysterious voice issued this off in making himself one that is a being that is puzzling.

"Say what?" Spike raised an eyebrow in trying to understand that.

"All you need to know, is this...if you wish for your friends to win, solve this riddle & a power will appear." The voice spoke off in wishing to give the ones a fair shot to win, if they can but solve a simple riddle that is.

"Okay, sure....if that will help..." Spike shrug off slightly in seeing if that will help Twilight and the rest out, what else does he have to lose?

"Pay close attention, your answer may save lives...or may lose them. A pony builds a house, with all four sides facing north. A bear walks pass the house. What color…is the bear?" The voice of mystery spoke out the riddle, sounding very certain & confident in asking something to test...if one can solve it.

Spike was trying to solve that question, but the riddle seem....pretty hard. Who builds a house to the north, & with a bear to pass by it, it sounded like maybe...a polar bear? But then he recalls Twilight stating that such creatures live in the north, but the riddle...it felt like, something was off about its meaning that the baby Dragon can't quite figure it out.

"Time we end things." The evil voice of Twilight was heard as Spike turns to see that his friends are in grave danger, they are too weak to do anything...

"Ugh, ugh.....oh who am I kidding, I can't answer. Because there is no answer to it!" Spike held his head before he lash out in not knowing what answer the riddle is as he felt there isn't one at all to be found.

"Ah, that is where...you are wrong, but also...correct." The mysterious voice spoke off in saying something that sounded like...Spike's response was right.

"Say what now?" Spike then flinched a bit while lost, he got the right answer...really?

"Your reward shall fall from above, a blessing from the heavens skies, shine bright a new rainbow to overcome the dark..." The mysterious voice spoke off to say in stating that a gift will fall from above to shine light anew.

At that very moment, Spike saw something fall from the sky that was glowing like a strange...cube-form. The enemy pay no attention to what was going on, so long as they ended the heroes that came to stop them. But then without warning, a bright flash happened when the glowing cube broke on contact near the Mane Six. The flash blinded the Dark Rainbow Power opponents before backing away, then hovering above was...the Mane Six; all healed up & in an amazing shock to their awareness; in their Rainbow Forms!

"Wait the....Twilight...how'd we get our Rainbow Forms?" Rainbow Dash asked off in being lost in thought, how did they get their Rainbow Power Forms suddenly?

"I...I don't know." Twilight shook her head in being as lost & confused as the others.

"All Ah saw was something fell from de sky, busted open & covered us." Applejack rub her head in not knowing how it all happened herself, but vaguely recalls what was seen.

"But who did it? Who could do such a feat unexpectively?" Rarity questioned off in thinking that whoever achieved this was unknown to them.

"Um, excuse me, but...maybe we should focus on them." Fluttershy interrupts to remind everyone...they are still facing their evil counterparts.

"Fluttershy's right girls...doesn't matter what happened, if it can help us turn this battle around, then who are we to complain?" Twilight spoke off in deciding that how this happen can be discussed later, for now...it's time to turn the tables.

Soon it was a stare off as both sides exhibited their Rainbow Powers of Light & Dark, both sides were clashing in causing a small rupture to happen. Both sides were now on an equal footing, it was gonna be the Mane Six VS. Erroneous Equines for the Final Round!

“This time, we’re done letting you rampage this world!” Twilight sternly was issuing this in about to put an end to this battle right now.

“Hmph-hmph, not until you ware all dead at our hooves.” Evil Twilight exclaimed off to say this in where she & her evil group are just getting started.

Soon the Erroneous Equines took off to land on top of a mountain top as they were focusing on gathering much negative dark magic in the air…

“Come on girls, focus all we got in this one attack!” Twilight issued this out to her friends in knowing this was gonna be close.

“Right!” The Mane Five responded off in also agreeing there.

The enemy was charging a strange darken emerald sphere from their combined Dark Rainbow Power. But at the same time, the Mane Six were summoning their pure magical sphere around their bodies to focus in a center.

“Steady…steady…” Twilight was issuing this out in trying to get everything ready.

Then the enemy was soon done, in which they hurl their attack right for the heroes….but they were also ready!

“NOW!” Twilight yelled out in which it was time to fire off their own attack.

With a single push, they fired from their glowing sphere in which took the form of a beautiful rainbow. That attack soon collided against their foe’s attack which on impact….grew to gigantic size. It was now a struggle against who’s power was gonna prevail over another, the power of light or the power of dark, only one could win.

“You think this is all we got….show them!” Evil Twilight smirked off wickedly in saying this was nothing as of yet.

Suddenly without warning, the Erroneous Equines unleashed another negative sphere of dark magic to empower their own attack which pushed the Mane Six’s own attack back. If that large sphere makes contact, the heroes will be finished.

“Hold on everyone….” Twilight issued this off to say as they are seen trying to fight back as hard as they can.

Spike was watching this from nearby, he had to help out somehow or his friends would lose. But as he was almost there, Evil Spike collided in which they were rolling across the ground in which they were struggling their own last minute fighting.

“Give up, your puny pony pals don’t stand a chance!” Evil Spike remake doff to say this in knowing the good Spike’s pals are toast.

“That’s where you’re wrong, friendship can make anything happen!” Spike counter off to say in not giving up on Twilight & the rest.

“Well then say goodbye cause that friendship ain’t looking so hot now!” Evil Spike remarked off in seeing that as how things stand, the heroes are gonna lose.

Spike had to figure something out, that’s when he saw the two forces in where the Erroneous Equines had to fire off a few constant dark spheres to make their giant sphere of darkness super heavy while the Mane Six were just firing a beam. If something could stop the feeding of power, that could turn this whole thing around.

“Let’s see how much your friends care to stop with you around!” Spike counter off to say this with a sly smile across his face.

“What are you…..whaaat?” Evil Spike was about to ask until he was cut off.

Spike used his Flame Steps to boost himself up higher into the sky before spinning around & around. That made Evil Spike let go before Spike focus every last ounce of his Dragon Flame attack to impact his evil counterpart downwards. While the evil baby Dragon screamed, during the Erroneous Equines' next attack, their attack to feed their strongest move was stopped…but what Spike counter with the evil Spike.

“What are you doing, get out of the way!” Evil Twilight yelled off in seeing who was stopping their attack pattern.

“I’m….trying….” Evil Spike groans off to get up, but was stuck on the second peak of the mountain top over the heroes & the enemies in where the flames that surround him weren’t going out.

“Urge, keep feeding our attack!” Evil Twilight yelled out, to which her group continued to fire off more dark spheres.

This group didn’t care that Spike’s Flame Breath was countering the Erroneous Equines from weighing their strongest attack move, not caring of what happens with Evil Spike. Soon the Mane Six were slowly able to push the enemy’s attack off that gave them a single opening.

“TOGETHER EVERYONE!” Twilight yelled off i seeing their chance as the entire Mane Six band let of battle cries in ushering forth everything at once.

That alone helped make the rainbow beam slowly burst through the large dark sphere, scattering it to pieces before it could explode. Now the attack was heading straight for its intended target…

“No…no! This can’t be how it ends!” Evil Twilight ushered off in fury, as she & the rest of the Erroneous Equines were blasting off separate attacks to stop the heroes own rainbow beam. But no matter their dark power, the heroes own light version of the Rainbow Power was breaking through & heading towards them.

“Waaaughhh!” Evil Spike yelps off in being the first to be hit by the rainbow beam as he fades along in the stream force.

“Gruuaaaaguhhhhh!” The Erroneous Equines screamed off in being bathed in that bright glow as their shadowy selves seem to be just trying to keep it together…

“Crack-Crack….Breakfrsuvhmm…” But then without warning, the very aura of the Dark Rainbow Forms themselves shatter & broke apart to disappear into nothings within the rainbow beam attack.

Finally, everything began to settle, as the Mane Six were soon able to float back down to the ground, feeling mostly exhausted from what happened in what they had to pull out of their hats or up their sleeves; you name it. But one thing was for certain, that pure & strong power of light, the light of their friendship & everything that harmony stands for…their Rainbow Power has trumpeted over the Dark Rainbow Power.

The group saw themselves appearing...on the ground and unconscious. They aren't dead but their talismans are gone, and hopefully for good!

Afar from the battle, the CMT, who woke up, saw what happened to the Erroneous Equines, their Dark Rainbow Force was defeated. Which meant the evil that was gonna rule was beat.

"Girls, Ah think it's time we beat it." Other Apple Bloom stated in concern of what will happen next.

"Uh-huh!" Other Sweetie Belle nods off in agreement on the case.

"You said it!" Other Scootaloo stated off that they need to vamoose, pronto.

"Where do you think you naughty fillies are going towards?" Then appearing from flying above, we see Pinkamena who used her chain blades to hold the fillies & then saw the Mane Six above.

"We got just enough Rainbow Power for one more act. Ready?" Rainbow Dash stated off in knowing this will change these naughty fillies right around.

"Ready!" The others responded off in being ready now.

"Uh-oh!" The CMT yelped in knowing this won't be good, at least for their bad selves.

Then without warning, the Mane Six unleashed another rainbow wave of magic that surrounded the bad fillies as it was changing their evil nature. Then as it was over, the Mane Six were out of their Rainbow Forms while Pinkamena release the now sleeping fillies that were turned good.

"Oh thank goodness..." Rarity sighs with relief in seeing this.

"Yep, looks like we knock their senses right back." Applejack nods off in being glad that they fix this.

"Well, at least now everyone is no longer evil." Fluttershy stated to say this in thinking of a bright side.

"And we get to stay nice, which is nice, right?" Pinkie Pie smiled off to happily say this.

"Sure Pinkie Pie, whatever you say." Twilight rolled her eyes to say this in just letting her random friend say what she likes to say.

Chapter 4: Back from Mirrorverse

Chapter 4: Back from the Mirrorverse

"Well done, heroes of Equestria Prime." Appearing before the Mane Six & Spike, was good version of Chrysalis as she spoke. Then popping near her was Captain Goodguy as they smiled in what was seen. "You have helped save our world from a great peril, we cannot thank you enough." Chrysalis issued off in being sincere about her words.

"Shucks, glad we were able ta help out." Applejack replied off to say this about the fact.

"Yep, being heroes is what we do best." Rainbow Dash bragged off in knowing that they are awesome.

"And now we things settled, what will happen next?" Rarity asked off in being curious about with the Erroneous Equines' defeat of being evil, what will happen after...

"Well, there will be a bit of cleaning up from the damages that's been done, but you need not worry." Captain Goodguy explained off about the case in which those here, won't need to worry about.

"Why's that?" Spike raised an eyebrow in being puzzled by that quote.

"We required your aid, & your deed here is accomplished. It is time for you all to return home." Chrysalis exclaimed to say that with the heroes having completed what they set out for, it was time for them to return to their own universe.

"Aw, so soon? But we haven't had a party to celebrate this moment!" Pinkie Pie pouted to say in seeing that they wish they could stay longer to have fun after everything.

"What will happen to...um, ourselves, if you don't mind me asking?" Fluttershy meekly asked off shyly about what happens to the counterparts of them here.

"Just like Celestia & Luna, we'll hopefully show them the correct path & redeem them of their misguided acts of evil." Chrysalis explained forth in what they will do to ensure things will be alright.

"Yeah, not sure how since they are knocked out." Shining said, concerned for his own sister not being restored. "But we will try."

"Are you ready, I'm sure everyone back in your universe misses you so," Captain Goodguy exclaimed off to mention this to the others of what they mustn't forget back home.

"They're right, while it would be nice to stick around, we have a responsibility back home, & family & friends. So, what do you say?" Twilight explained the case to her friends in knowing that they need to think about what is waiting for them back home, they left without a notice, & that will cause worry, so...they must do this for those that miss them...

Little by little, the others were nodding their heads in agreement before turning to Captain Goodguy, who smiled to nod in understanding the expressions of their faces. With a simple snap of his fingers, the group disappeared into thin air, now on their way back from where they came...

"And now, their little deed is done." Captain Goodguy spoke off to say this while smiling.

"Indeed, they truly were the right ponies to aid us." Chrysalis nodded her head in agreement, the group they called in helped them out a lot.

With that, the scene begins to slowly close off here & grow dark...as for where the Mane Six & Spike end up back in their universe...remains to be seen....

At this very moment, we find three characters walking down through Ponyville having done much around the town & it's problems. But of course, they were nowhere closer to knowing what had happened to the Mane Six & Spike. The others have been gone for almost an entire day now, this didn't sit well with them.

"Phew, that's the last request around." Ben sighs to say this in being glad that last request as prince was over.

"But even still, we haven't found mommy or the others." Nyx stated to say this in appearing to be a bit sad.

"I know Nyx, we'll find them, you can be sure of that." Ben pats his daughter's back to cheer her up.

"Brother, complaining won't get us anywhere! I should know that better than anyone!" Phobos complained off to mention this that complaining won't get them anywhere.

Unknown to the group, a swirling cloud was forming that seem to be a rip from another universe, namely the Mirrorverse, as seven dots are seen falling from it as it zipped away.

"I mean, what's gonna happen, it's not like the answer's gonna fall down from the sky, right?" Phobos rolled his eyes off to say this in what was the unlikely chance of finding those to come down on them without warning.

Then without warning, the Mane Six & Spike ended up dog piling right on Ben, Nyx & Phobos. This caught the latters by surprise while everyone was struggling to push themselves to stand up.

"Why is it I never be more considerate of my choice words?" Phobos remarked off to say this in never being careful of his choice words.

"Twilight, you guys....you’re back." Ben stated off in surprise to see who was back all of a sudden.

"Wow, we actually made it back!" Spike stated to say this in looking around, they are back in their own Equestria.

"Back from where?" Nyx raised an eyebrow in not following along the conversation.

"It's a long story darling." Rarity patted Nyx's head to make the filly follow along that they have a tale to be told.

"A long, very unusual story." Rainbow Dash nodded off to roll her eyes in stating off such a fact.

"One where we were the bad guys & we had to stop ourselves from conquering their world & coming to rule ours." Pinkie Pie stated off this with a perky smile on her face.

"Ugh!" Phobos was left stumped in completely being lost in what the heck was the random pony talking about.

"Um, maybe we should take this elsewhere." Fluttershy stated that maybe they should talk about this where they have more private time than outside where everyone that was looking at them weirdly would here.

"Good idea, we're kinda sore from falling out o' nowhere twice now." Applejack rubs her aching neck from how they fell on a lot of things when they get magically teleported.

"Come on everyone, let’s get back to the castle while we fill you in on what happened." Twilight stated to say this in where they should go to discuss things a bit more while they get to their castle home.

Ben, Nyx & Phobos could not say no to that as they followed everyone to return to Rainbow Castle as they were gonna be filled in while they walk. Unknown to everyone, someone poof'd from where the gang was, & it was none other than Pinkamena that had returned too, apparently.

"Phw, good thing Captain Goodguy gave me a ride back too, now to get back to Goldie & tell him & the others of what happened." Pinkamena exclaimed to say this in feeling relieved that she got back home, & that she best get home to tell her brother & pals of her adventure.

Then Pinkamena zipped off to return to her Secret Dungeon home, where she have some news to tell. The scene goes dark here as much strangeness of those that have come home, are slowly making their progress now...

The group passed by the CMC who are wearing bandages from a certain event, the sisters (and idol in Rainbow's case) are relieved that they're all right. Along the way back to the castle, the Mane Six and Spike explains their adventure to Ben, Nyx and Phobos. Ben of course knew of the world since he was once there himself.

Back at the Rainbow Castle within the Council of Friendship table, the Mane Six & Spike sat down to let themselves be at ease. Ben, Nyx & Phobos came to check on them from after having experienced what they went through, it's a wonder how soar they must be.

"You all gonna be alright?" Ben asked off in seeing everyone was still a bit lost in their own thoughts about what happened.

"We're fine Ben, thank you for the concern." Twilight smiled off to say that they are fine, they are not in trouble, just...distracted by thought.

"It's alright mommy, you went through a tough spot after all." Nyx smiled off to say this to cheer her mother & aunts up.

"Yeah, facing your own counterparts, fighting them, nearly injuring yourselves, & against that unexpected power, who wouldn't be shocked?" Phobos was pointing off all the terrible things that happened, which would only grow to make the problem worse until...

"Okay Phobos, we get it..." Spike rolled his eyes to stop Phobos from trying to cheer them up, it was only making it worse.

"Spike darling, do you know how we obtain our Rainbow Power back there?" Rarity asked off a question that was on the mind.

"She's right, we were about done fer, but ye seem ta struggle wit' somethin' before a light got on us." Applejack nods off in pondering the same thing of what happened to them back there.

"Well in truth, there was a strange voice." Spike rub the back of his head in what he remembers.

"Oh brother, voices in your head, who was it?" Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes in knowing that hearing voices can't be a good sign.

"Don't know, he didn't sound much like an enemy, he just sounded....mysterious & a puzzling guy when he said I have to answer a riddle & it to save you." Spike rub his head in stating what he knows, some voice said he save everyone if but a single riddle was answered, & that was it.

"Wow! Imagine how life would be if that would help solve everything!" Pinkie Pie spoke off to say in thinking that was something to look forward to.

"I doubt that be enough to solve all our troubles, Pinkie Pie." Twilight lightly smiled off on the topic itself.

"But still, whoever did it, maybe he's a nice pony." Fluttershy spoke optimistic with a meekly smile on her face.

"Think it was a Mystic?" Applejack asked off in pondering if that was who helped them.

"Well it certainly didn't sound like someone we know....heck, I don't think they could even help you regain your Rainbow Forms so easily or that they say you have to do it yourself or something." Spike was concern in knowing that the Mystics usual don't offer too big an extension of help, they have the gang find it out for themselves, plus the voice didn't sound like anyone they know.

"But didn't Tao once spoke to us as a voice?" Nyx raised an eyebrow in pondering this for thought of their last adventure where a mysterious voice guided them.

"Yeah, but it wasn't Tao, nor any of the other Mystics we met before." Spike shook his head off to say that whoever this new voice was, it was no Mystic, that was for sure.

"So our mystery riddle guy is a big mystery to us all." Pinkie Pie rub her chin in thinking that was the question in itself.

"That's one way of addressing things." Phobos rolled his eyes in having heard what the pony said.

"Think we'll even come across this 'savoir' of ours in the future?" Rainbow Dash asked off if they will meet who helped them out this time or in the future.

"Well perhaps someday, right now...let’s just be glad we're all today, safe & sound..." Ben smiled off to say this in knowing what's important, everyone is together.

"Your right Ben, for now...let's let this mysterious riddle of whoever helped us out be settle for later. I may be fascinated in how he could perform such a task, but...I'll wait until I actually meet him." Twilight replied off to say this that though she has interest in who saved them in that last second with such a feat, they maybe as well let it go & maybe find out sooner or later...

The rest of the gang nods off in agreement while soon turning the discussion into something with more pleasant chatters to be heard. Everything begins to go dark around now in how things were turning out...

Meanwhile, unknown to anyone, the strange new & mysterious voice belong to a strange stallion hidden in a strange silver void place. Using magic that made an emerald cloud appear to show images of the heroes that have safely return from their trip from after being victorious against the Erroneous Equines & their Dark Rainbow Power.

"Riddle Me This, Riddle Me That? Can you guess when our next act shall be at?" Spoke the mysterious character that was hidden as if making a little rhyming riddle game in those he was seeing.

Images show other events that will pass, such things the heroes will overcome....before a strange event brings them all...into a strange slumber...From there, strange creatures appear, both evil & good, but the one performing it all...is a scary jester lead off to act...from the Demon God's domain as seen...The emerald clouds fade from there, as the mysterious character has seen all he wants to see, knowing only of what...will occur next...

"Hmmm...a intriguing event to be sure to see, so sleep well little ponies..." The mysterious character spoke off as he twirls a golden scepter with a question mark symbol top when turning to leave. "The next game of where you'll need me will be....in your dreams..." He spoke off in riddles, saying when the group will need him, why was that, remains unsure...

With that, the character suddenly vanished from sight, nothing was seen while everything fades. Just who was that character who helped out the heroes? Why did he say they meet again & in their dreams? What events are sure to follow, that is a question...best left to solve within the future to be told.

The End

Phew, glad that fic is over. I'm happy to finally get this done. I'd like to thank my reviewers and suggesters for reading the fic and giving out the usual suggestions. As for who the voice is…that is for another story.

Okay, here's what going on next which is a short story...

"Re-Education For Benevolence (short story happens at the EXACT same time as "Return to the Mirrorverse"): While the Mane Six and Spike are busy helping Captain Goodguy and Chrysalis against the super-charged Erroneus Equines, the Mirrorverse versions of Trixie, the Flim Flams and Derpy are busy helping their recently reformed versions of Celestia and Luna re-learn on how to deal with situations in a completely just manner and save violence as an absolute last resort."

Well, I hope to get this done ASAP, so until next time, read, review and suggest!
