Side Story 1 - Let the War Begin!

Dark Magician was in the watcher room again like always to see what the other displaced are up to. He then felt something pulling him and when he knew it was summoning. So he went and grabbed Dark Magician Girl just as a portal opened up and we both walk in as it closed.

We both appeared in front a castle that looks like a giant treehouse that was made out of crystal.
“So we are at some point after season 4.” Dark Magician Girl said as she looked around.

“Yes, but the question is. Which Displaced does this Equestria belong to?” Dark Magician asked as he tried to spot where the displace right then.

“I guess that’d be me,” Said a voice from behind the duo. They spun to see a tall pale skinned, haired, and clothed man who wore a trench coat. His right eye was missing, but the other was grey, and a pair of wings of white and black were sprouted from his back. “My name is Time Spinner, welcome to land of the screwed!” He flashed his shark teeth as his arms went up.

“We know who you are since I saw you talking to some displaced like Max and Lance. Not only do I know that you are founder of a version of the Power Ponies. So my name is the Dark Magician. I am an ace to the king of games, co-productor of all elements and cmc and the watcher of all Displace and it's nice meet you.” Dark Magician said as he offers a hand to shake.

Time didn’t take it though, “Okay, kind of weird… Fine, whatever. Welcome to the battleground of the war of- you know what? I won’t say it since you already know most likely. What side do you choose, I’m setting up the bases right now.”

“Oh oh. We are going on Lee’s side of this war and my name is Dark Magician Girl and I am happy to meet you Timey.” Dark Magician Girl said with a Pinkie size smile.

Time Spinner opened a portal, this one immediately sending all three of them to a night club, “Well… That’s a new one… I’ll have to remember that one… Anyways, this is the first base of the Alliance. Make yourselves at home, it’s only temporary.”

A vortex to the void opened up in the room soon afterwards, walking out was what looked like Discord wearing a full body cloak and drinking a 58 ounce soda with 3d glasses. He finished the drink and soon eat both it and the glasses. “I heard your call, so what’s happening this time? I have you know I almost missed Avengers Age of Ultron with spider-man!”

“Tuff nuts, I’m working on a war.” Time Spinner sighed, “Look, you weren’t called, but if you want you can stay… Wait, did you finish it?” The one eyed Displacer asked.

“Had to take it with me on the go, boy is that movie theater going to have a riot.” the cloaked Dranconquess said looking around. “So let me guess two of your displaced decided to go about killing each other? Well I think I’ll stay, might need some help keeping things from getting out of hand with magic.” He soon spotted the two Dark Magicians.

“Oh hello there, I’m Loki God of Balance.” Loki answered.

“Hello I am the Dark Magician co-productor of all elements and cmc and watcher of all Displace.” Dark Magician responded as Dark Magician Girl gives Loki a hug.

“And I am Dark Magician Girl. Its nice to meet you along with your Discord and evil anthro Twilight Sparkle.” Dark Magician Girl said grinning.

Said Discord and Evil Twilight appeared behind Loki in their Astral forms. “Well that’s a party pooper I was hoping to surprise them with us.” Astral Discord said.

“Won’t matter they might just die in a war the least on their minds should be Astral ghosts.” Astral Twilight answered.

“It’s amazing how you both haven’t started fighting each other…. again.” Loki said as he floated away and to Time Spinner. “So then how many are coming to this war?”

Seconds later a bright portal appeared in front of us another human walked out of the portal and looked towards everyone and said “Well this is a small group that’s arrived up to yet.”

“Hello Craig I am the Dark Magician and this is my girlfriend Dark Magician Girl.” Dark Magician said as he point at Dark Magician Girl who is still hugging Loki.

Craig then smiled and said “Pleasure to meet you all, and you too Discord and Twilight.”

“Actually we are him.” Discord pointed to Loki.

“Yeah can you both return to my mind now?” Loki asked, the two Astral forms disappeared. “Hey I’m Loki, God of Balance I’ll be neutral in what’s to come.”

“Okay then it’s good to meet you,” Craig said before he continued to say “I guess i’d better introduce one of my mates” seconds later yet another Discord appears beside him and just smiled at everyone.

“Anyways…” Time Spinner said in annoyance, “Enough interruptions! This is the base for the Alliance! The Empire's base is almost co-”

“Hey Craig!” Jubilee appeared next to Time, “What’s up?”

Craig just smiled “Oh hi… to be honest I haven’t had much of a break since I left it’s only been a few days and all I’ve had is a bunch of meetings with other Displaced I think about two in just a day. But enough about my time what you’ve been up to?”

“Nothing much, just getting some brain matter in my hair, meeting Displaced, annoying Time and Sylar, that kind of stuff…” Jubilee said.

Craig just laughed and told both her and Time Spinner “Seems you’ve both had the time of your life.”

The pun got a chuckle from Loki who saw Time Spinner glare a bit. “That was Discord.” Loki ignored the protests of his Discord in his mind.

Time Spinner rolled his eye, “I hate those puns… In any case, I welcome you as well to the war. Sylar!”

Another human male appeared wearing glasses and a top hat, “Yes, it’s done, now can I go?” He sighed.

Time ignored him, “Okay! Empire base is complete! I’ll show you later, but right now I guess I’ll answer any questions you have.”

“Yeah. So what are this Equestria’s Elements be doing during this war?” Dark Magician asked as he slap Dark Magician Girl in the ass which made her go eep and grin at him.

“Simple,” Time said as a chart appeared out of nowhere. There were four images, one of the Elements just having fun, another where they fought Changelings, the third showed them beating Tirek and the last depicted them versing Starlight Glimmer. “They’ll be kicking ass and chewing bubblegum with the Alliance. And no, I’ve taken care of the rainbow power by stealing Twilight Sparkle’s ‘magic’.”

“Why did you take her magic? She’s useless without it.” Dark Magician Girl asked frowning.

Craig then looked at him and said “Nobody’s ever useless, no matter what their circumstances are. Even if they’ve got no magic she’ll still as much moral support as everyone else.”

“He means the power of magic in harmony not her Alicorn magic.” Loki answered then turned with a raised eyebrow. “Right?”

“Of course Loki, what fun is there is magic rainbows of destruction that would seal any Displaced in stone. And what fun is there in a magicless Twilight.” Time chuckled, “I’m a monster, not a villain.”

The ground shook a bit as a vortex opened up and out walked a black metal armored Alicorn with magma flowing under them being seen between plates. “I figured the place wouldn’t be big enough for my full form, Hello I’m Netherion, or Deathwing nice to meet you all.”

“Well now we have the embodiment of the planet here.” Loki commented.

“Time, Chaos, Earth. What’s next, Retroness?” Asked Jubilee with a snicker.

“A bear maybe?” Asked Dark Magician Girl as she snickers with Jubilee.

“I guess that can be bear-able.” Dark Magician joked. Time Spinner just groaned.

“Next question?” Time asked.

“You just asked it,” Jubilee tried.

“You walked into that one Timey.” Dark Magician Girl said laughing.

“Where the Alliance’s leader?” Loki asked.

“Back home for now, I’ll call him when I’ve got everything ready. Shouldn’t take too long.” Time responded, “As for Folteren… He’s… Around…”

“So what do we do in the meantime?” Dark Magician asked while looking at a book.

Time Spinner face palmed, “Of course! I knew I forgot something… You’ll be diplomats today!” A goofy grin spread across his face, “I’ve got an Alliance General waiting for you! Wait, are you all on Lee’s side?”

“Yep we are.” Dark Magician Girl said grinning while eating a cupcake.

Deathwing turned to Loki about to ask. “Yeah…. I don’t think having a Void dweller who can level a Universe on either side a good idea I’m neutral.” Loki answered him.

“There are a couple neutral’s, yes. I’m also on Loki’s side,” Time stated, “I think most of you are ‘Heroes’. Meet Blossom when you’re done conversing here. I’ll be in the Castle of the Two Sisters if anyone needs me. Sylar and Jubilee wika be here if you want to ask questions, and Loki will… I guess he can watch and do damage control if anyone ‘dies’ and send them home for a week. That okay for you?”

“Sure why not, though I might scatter some supplies around, nothing too major mostly for healing.” Loki answered.

“Okay! Blossom is waiting at Ponyville Train Station due east of here. If you get lost, ask Loki to call Jubilee for directions.”

“I live to serve.” Jubilee saluted.

“Any questions?” Time finished.

“No.” Deathwing answered.

“We are cool.” Both Magicians said at the same time.

“So then guess you all can head off good luck.” Loki said giving them a talon thumbs up.

“Oh, and remember, Ponies aren’t your friends, and neither are they your foes. Make a good impression on Celly and Lulu so your team can get Equestria as an ally.” Time added, and he then faded away.

Jubilee stepped forward, “Kay! You are free to leave whenever you want! Go as a team, or as individuals. Your choice!”

“Ok. Well then. Last one to the train station is Blueblood.” Dark Magician said as he and Dark Magician Girl teleports to the train station.

“They never grow up…” Sylar mumbled to himself.

“Teleportation? That’s a cheap way to win a race if you ask me.” Loki answered. Astral Twilight voice rag through his head.

“Oh like you one to talk?” She asked.

Deathwing sighed. “It would be best if I meet with them first.” Deathwing said remembering he was in Alicorn form. “They are sun and moon, I am the earth they're a strange understanding between us.”

As the group of “Heroes” got to the station they couldn’t find the Dark Magician duo anywhere. “That’s strange, shouldn’t they be here?” Deathwing asked still in his Alicorn form. A piece of paper appeared.

I delayed their appearance, Teleporting for long distances is out it seem with some exceptions. signed, Loki.

Craig sighed, then looked at the note and said “Brilliant better keep that in mind.”

A girl with red hair, pink eyes, wearing a pink one piece dress, high socks, a pink bow in her hair and glasses sat outside of the station reading a book.

She was the only living thing they saw, so she had to be Blossom.

Two moments later the two Magicians appeared next to the group and both of them aren’t happy.

“D*** it Loki!” Shouted a very tick off Dark Magician.

“Looks like we’re going to have kick Loki or Blueblood’s butt for this.” Said Dark Magician Girl with a sweet smile and a twitchy right eye.

“Looks like you came in last place. We need to find you a prize for being the least punctual I guess,” Craig joked.

“Whatever.” Both Magicians said rolling their eyes.

Deathwing gave a chuckle, turning to Blossom. “Hello, I’m Netherion, Time Spinner told us to come see you.” The planet-Dragon in Alicorn said.

Blossom didn’t seem to listen until Deathwing said ‘Time Spinner’, to which she slammed her book shut and squeaked in surprise. She pulled off her glasses and stood up clumsily, “S-sorry, didn’t notice you there!”

“Are you kidding? How can you not notice someone that big?” Dark Magician deadpanned.

“My sister talks like Pinkie Pie, and I’m the only one she does talk to. My other sister used to beat up Hydra’s while screaming references as loud as Luna… I built up a tolerance to the world around me when I’m reading…” She blushed in embarrassment at the last part, but kept a deadpan through every other word.

Craig then smiled and said “Don’t worry about it. I’m the same when it comes to music.”

“For the record I’m in my Alicorn form.” Deathwing added, he may have been bigger the Celestia but he wasn’t that big.

“So what now you cute Powerpuff Girl you?” Said Dark Magician Girl whos is giving Blossom a hug.

Craig then sighed and hit her around the side of her head before he said “Show respect to your superiors.”

Blossom backed away a bit, shaking off her confusion, “U-uh… We board this train to Canterlot. It won’t take too long, since the Castle is just up that mountain.” Blossom pointed towards Canterlot, “But, there is one problem… Strange black ponies are appearing around there. My guess is King Sombra’s joined Darth Folteren.”

“If the Princesses and mane six are in trouble there. Then let’s get going and kick Sombra’s butt back to hell.” Dark Magician said.

“They just started appearing. I’ve got everything set up, and Lee’s units are already in the train.” Blossom walked around the side of the station a gestured to the train, “This is the Exposition Express. Don’t look at me, Time named it.”

Craig then sighed and said “Not surprised… at least he didn’t call it the time train.”

“Let’s get going then.” Deathwing said.

Blossom stood to the side, “Oh, and since there’s been more surprises, Spinner told me that we needed another Displaced.” Just then, a wormhole appeared.

A guy jumped out with four raptors behind him and asked “I guess it’s time for the war then right?”
Eyes wide, Blossom backed up, “Wait! Raptors!?”

“What you got a problem with us?” the grey one with two blue streaks running down her back said.

“N-nothing… Just…” Blossom struggled for words, but luckily, a blond girl with pigtails and a light blue version of Blossom’s dress popped her head out of the train.

“She’s an egghead!” Her high pitched voice called over, “She was into Dinos a lot! Like, a lot.”

“Well then at least we got off to a good start. My names Owen.” Owen said.

“Hello Owen” Craig then walked up to him and shook his hand then said “The names Craig, nice to meet you.”

“Likewise.” he said shaking his hand “So what’s happening now?”

“Now? Hehe.” Dark Magician Girl said while wearing a TF2 Medic outfit. “Let’s go do some medicine.” She added.

“Ve shall make zem cry vid Sasha” Owen said in his best Russian accent and snapped his fingers and a minigun appeared in his hands and his outfit changed into a TF2 Heavy one.

“Hello, Equestria to idiots!” Blossom said waving her hands in front of the two, “We don’t have all day. Meet Lee’s army,” She gestured to a dozen pony-shaped steel armor.

Craig the muttered “I feel like I’m seeing the army of lopezes from yesterday...”

“Cool mind if I bring my own?” Owen said gesturing to the portal and a couple raptors, one with a cybernetic tail and Pteranodons, one with a metal wing walked through wearing body armor and lasers attached to the side “We're gonna be on a train right, so I brought my two best raptors and flyers with me.”

Blossom’s eyes almost glowed, “YesyesyesyesyesyesyesYES!!!” She squealed, “I- uh- I mean, sure,” She tried. Bubbles, the girl whose head was hanging outside of the train mouthed ‘egghead’, and slowly brought her head inside.

“Right can we get going now?” Dark Magician said after he facepalmed at Blossom’s reaction to the dinosaurs.

“Oh, uh, yeah! Sorry everyone,” Blossom whistled and the armors quickly jumped onto the train.

“Get on losers!” Yelled a Rainbow Dash lookalike, “Me and Rarifruit are getting bored!”

Craig then looked at the lookalike and asked “Rainbine. How far did Time go with his Displacements?”

“Unicron is his biggest!” Rainbine replied, “He did a lot!”

“I ain’t even gonna try and work that out.” Craig said whilst walking onto the train.

“Allons-y.” Said Dark Magician Girl as she ran into the train with Dark Magician.

When everyone was inside, Rainbine greeted Owen. “Hey! Sup Owen!”

“Sup Rainbine long time no see.” Owen said.

The cyborg pegasus gestured to a Rarity lookalike, “That’s Rarifruit. Pinkis is doing good too, but she’s on the other side.”

“Bubbles! Get this piece of uncouth metal going!” Rarifruit shouted in a shrill voice.

“I got it.” Owen said pushing the metal pony.

“What are you up to dino boy?” Dark Magician Girl asked Owen.

“Trying to help Rarifruit.”

“With what?” She asked.

“She wants the armor moved somewhere else.”

“Ok.” Dark Magician Girl said as she gets out a cupcake from nowhere and start eating it.

“What’s that a magic infused cupcake or a Pinkamena Diane Pie cupcake?” Owen asked.

Craig then laughed and said “Do we really want to know if it’s made of ponies?”

“You’d be surprised…” Rainbine said with a green face.

“Oh god no... You can’t be serious.”

“Crud I think I’m gonna be sick.” Owen said walking to the side of the train and puking.

“One… Cupcake… That’s all I ate and I didn’t know that Pinkis made it with…” Rainbine flew over to an open window and threw up.

Owen finished puking and asked “When are we gonna reach Canterlot?”

Craig then looked at him and said “It’ll be a while.” He then went back to tuning his guitar.

“Somewhere around an hour,” Said Blossom.

“Song montage!” Owen shouted and snapped his fingers and strummed an electric guitar.
Craig then smiles and says “What song were you thinking of?”

“We will rock you by Queens?” Asked Dark Magician.

Craig then laughed and said “Anyone know how to play drums?”

“Me!” Said Rainbine, “Used to be an amiture musician when I was human!”

“Sabaton No Bullets Fly.” Owen suggested.

“I’ll be honest I've never heard that one” replied Craig.

“From a Swedish Metal band.” Owen said.

“Explains a lot, before I came to Equestria I lived in England.”

“Shall I start?” Owen asked.

“Give me second… Discord mind breaking the fourth wall buddy?” Craig then smirked, clicked his fingers as a drum kit appeared then said “okay ready.”

Rainbine jumped on it, “Guess this’ll do,”

“Cut me a break, I had to use my powers to get that for you.”

Owen strummed the guitar faster and faster and sang.

From down below an enemy spotted, So hurry up rearm and refuel, But through the bomber's damaged airframe, See wounded men scared to the bone. Look to the right and then look again, And see the enemy in the eye, No bullets fly sparred by his mercy, Escorted out, Out of harms way.

Fly, fighting fair, It's the code of the air, Brothers, Heroes, Foes. Killing machine, Honour in the sky, B-17 flying home, Killing machine, Said goodbye to the cross he deserved.

He risked his life two times that day, To save an unknown enemy, Escort to safety out of the kill zone, A short salute then departed.

Fly, fighting fair, It's the code of the air, Brothers, Heroes, Foes. Killing machine, Honour in the sky, B-17 flying home, Killing machine, Said goodbye to the cross he deserved.

Fly, fighting fair, It's the code of the air, Brothers, Heroes, Foes. Killing machine, Honour in the sky, B-17 flying home, Killing machine, Said goodbye to the cross he deserved.

Once they finished Craig smiled then said “You two ain’t bad… Not as good as Pinkie but still not bad.”

“Thanks.” Owen said and snapped his fingers and the guitar disappeared. Rainbine growled.

Craig then smiled and said “Ya know there’s a bit of time.” he then turned to everyone and said “any other requests?”

Deathwing eyes opened for a moment. “I have none, never really listen to music… other than the sound of volcanoes.”

“There’s one song I used to do but it’s very long… what was it called Through the fire and the flames or something like that?”

“Through fire and rain?” Blossom asked.

“I have a better idea!” Rainbine announced “Don’t Mine At Night.”

“Wasn't that a parody song by a member of the Yogscast… who was it BebopVox or something like that?” asked Craig

“BebopVox YOGSCAST, and yes.” Blossom said, reading a book about Dinosaurs.

“Okay might as well give it a try” Craig said as he clicked his fingers as a set of turntables appeared. He then walked over to them and began to perform the song.

Got my helmet on my head, Figure out what that zombie said. Lava all over the room, Gotta' half heart left, man, I am doomed. Don't have any iron bars, my pick just broke into some shards. Scary noise what should I do, Go left or right I'll have to choose.

Visions of last time, flash inside my mind, I'm scared. Oh well. and I'm pretty sure, there's a big creeper, Right there!

Don't mine at night. I know you're lookin' at that cave, and you're feelin' kinda' brave, Go to bed you'll be alright. Don't mine at night. There's nothing that is gonna' change, If you just wait until the day, Zombie wanna' eat your brains. Don't mine at night. I know it's me you're gonna' thank, Make a bed it's not too late, three wool and three wooden planks. Don't mine at night. How many times I have to say, Drop the pick and walk away-a, Woah, Don't mine at night.

Don't mine at night. Don't mine at night. Don't mine at night. Don't mine at night.

Stomach's all tied up in knots, This labyrinth, I'm gettin' lost, This is really gettin' old, Found like two pieces of coal. Down one way there's just stone, Monsters won't leave me alone, Down another there's some lava, And of course I get, PWND. Remember last time I tried to mine at night, I failed, so bad, I lost all my stuff, It was really tough, That's it. RAGE QUIT!

Don't mine at night. I know you're lookin' at that cave, And you're feelin' kinda' brave. Go to bed you'll be alright. Don't mine at night. There's nothing that is gonna' change, If you just wait until the day, Zombie wanna' eat your brains. Don't mine at night. I know it's me you're gonna' thank, Make a bed it's not too late, three wool and three wooden planks. Don't mine at night. How many times I have to say, Drop the pick and walk away-a, Woah.

Don't mine at night. don't mine at night. Don't mine at night. don't mine at night.

D-O-N-T M-I-N-E. D-O-N-T M-I-N-E. D-O-N-T M-I-N-E. D-O-N-T M-I-N-E.

Don't mine at night. I know your lookin' at that cave, And your feelin' kinda' brave. Go to bed you'll be alright. Don't mine at night. There's nothing that is gonna' change, If you just wait until the day, Zombie wanna' eat your brains. Don't mine at night. I know it's me your gonna' thank, Make a bed it's not too late, 3 wool and 3 wooden planks. Don't mine at night. How many times I have to say, Drop the pick and walk away-a, Woah.

Don't mine at night. don't mine at night.

Owen clapped his hands and said “Bravo bravo.”

“Nice singing.” Said Dark Magician Girl as she get out another cupcake to eat.

“Sorry for me asking but are those chocolate flavored cupcakes?” Deathwing asked.

“Nope they’re toffee flavored.” Dark Magician Girl say grinning.

Rainbine backed away from her, “No cupcakes!”

Deathwing raised a metallic eyebrow. “Something you’re not telling us?”

Owen whispered in Deathwing's ear, “The cupcakes are pony flavored maybe.”

Deathwing thought it over. “Who would even eat one like that? They are supposed to be sweet not taste like cooked meat… well maybe the griffins….” Everyone was looking at Deathwing wide eyed. “What?”

“Sigh. The cupcakes Dark Magician Girl have been eating aren’t made from ponies.” Dark Magician said annoyed.

“Forgive Dasher, she got scared when Pinkis fed her a cupcake made of a pony… She’s been scared ever since…” Rarifruit said with a sigh.

“It tasted… Like strawberry…” Rainbine whispered, face pale.

“Are we there yet?” Owen asked.

“No worries here.” Dark Magician Girl said as she get out a can Bonk to drink.

Blossom sighed, “Speed up time…” And like that, they all appeared in Canterlot. “There… HAPPY!?!?”

“Jeez no need to be grumpy.” Owen said.

“I’ve been trying to make this as not fake as possible! With no threat of death, Time feared it’d get boring.” Blossom sighed, “C’mon, I think Sombra is waking up the rest of his army. Rainbine, Rarifruit, Bubbles, stay here and guard the train. Everyone else come with me to the castle! Understood!?”

“Yes ma’am!” Owen said

“Crystal clear.” Said both magicians at the same time.

“Very Well.” Deathwing simply answered.

“No problem.” Answered Craig.

“Well, what are you all waiting for?” Blossom took to the sky, “The Merchant? Come on!”
Deathwing raised his wings and took off for the castle.

Owen got out the model bike and it enlarged and got on and rode to the castle with the raptors and Pteranodons following behind.

To this Craig just sighed and said “Another race, we must look like a group of kids… No point in staying behind,” with that his legs began to glow and instantly disappeared in a cloud of smoke that led towards the castle.

“Time to open a portal to the castle.” Dark Magician said as he opens a portal to the castle and walked in with Dark Magician Girl.

“No teleporting!” Yelled Bubbles with red eyes.

A unicorn next to her simply said, “No Teleporting yes but opening portals are fair game.” The unicorn answered with a smile.

“Shouldn’t you be with Time about now? I think he’s calling the neutrals now.” Bubbles retorted.
Loki rolled his eyes. “Fine.” With that he was gone though the ground.

Celestia sat in her throne room drinking a cup of earl tea with a content smile. Two guards posted by her sides looked tired, even if they tried not to.

Pretty soon there was a scream from the other side of a double door, which was soon kicked open with four humans, two Raptors, and an Alicorn.

“Nice first impression, guys…” Blossom deadpanned.

“Are you all really that dim?” Craig said clearly annoyed.

“Yeah. It should have more fare to the first impression.” Said Dark Magician.

“In hindsight we didn’t really have a plan.” Deathwing answered. The Solar Alicorn’s cup soon fell from the shock.

Craig then quickly opened his hand as the cup stopped falling before he placed in on a nearby table then said “We are sorry for the intrusion Princess.” He then brought his hand over his chest and bowed to her.

“Who are you?” Celestia asked, shaking herself from her daze.
“Our specific names are of no importance. We are the Alliance of Heroes, human being turned into these forms and have chosen to fight for good. An evil tyrant and his army come here to destroy you and us. We need your help.” Blossom stated.

Deathwing simply had the wind drown her out. “Hello I am Neltharion the Earth-wander, I be quick a great evil soon to come and I can tell you felt it too, I humbly ask for your help and I and my friends offer our own.” Deathwing finished with a bow.

Craig then smiled and said “Princess my name is Craig and where I come from I’m a member of your guard.” He then quickly placed his hand on the back of his guitar and it turns into a sword he then said “You were the one who gave me this sword, you gave it to me as a way to defend myself when everyone was attacked by Discord, however I now see it as a symbol of loyalty, to you, to your sister, and most of all to all the citizens of Equestria.”

Celestia shook her head, “Please… Repeat yourself… Why are you here?”

“There is going to be war here in this Equestria and we need your help as an ally.” Dark Magician said as he gave a small bow which Dark Magician Girl did the same.

Blossom rubbed her temples, glaring daggers at the Alicorn/Dragon. “The being known as Darth Folteren has already set up a base. Our leader wishes to give you protection and in return, you supply us with the necessities.”

“What is this war exactly?” The solar princess questioned, a bit worried. “And why here?”

“Simple, Folteren is a misguided man, who’s twisted his reality and the many who serve him.” Blossom explained. “And I don’t know why here specifically. I’m General Blossom.”

“So you’re here to wage war in my kingdom?”

“Not to wage war Princess… to protect your ponies,” replied Craig.

“Plus nobody will get killed and even if they do. Then they will be revived back to life.” Dark Magician Girl said.

Blossom giggled nervously, “Yeah… About that… Only Displaced and their armies are… safe. It’s a real threat for the inhabitants.”

“Wait… innocent civilians could be killed… I don’t care what any of you think but I would rather die myself than let any ponies suffer.” said Craig

“It won’t just be ponies who will be affected.” Said a deep voice from inside the castle.

“Hi Asphyxious.” Dark Magician Girl called out. The Lich Lord Displaced then came out of the wall and bows to the others.

“It is good to see someone that I know. But I can’t help but see this war as foolish.” Said Asphyxious as he put his arms behind his back.

Craig then smiled and said “In more ways than one… it’s just like brothers arguing.”

“Agreed, but I must make one thing clear. I will be neutral in this conflict.” He said bluntly as he looks around at the other displaced.

Craig then once again smiled and said “At least I know who is who in this war.”

“Me too.” Dark Magician said. Asphyxious looked pleased at this, it was kind of hard to tell with his head being a skull and all.

Blossom cleared her throat, “Sorry, but Neutrals can’t be in Canterlot. Time Spinner’s hosting that somewhere else.”

Asphyxious, Dark Magician and Craig look at her. “So… where was it where we were meant to meet up then?” Asked the Lich as he looks to the others.

“Looking at the wrong person mate.” replied Craig.

“There’s a place called the Tomb of Starswirl. That’s where the Neutrals are. You won’t be able to go there today though.” Blossom stated.

“Why is their base at a tomb?” Dark Magician Girl asked confused.

“Sounds interesting, but I think I can get there no need to sleep like this. But the hard part is getting there.” Said Asphyxious as he looks outside. “Where is this tomb?”

“It’s in the ruins of Skybard, in the North, near the Crystal Empire but to the east.” Blossom stated.

“We know where we’re going then. Dark Magician if you will.” Asked Asphyxious as he moves to stand by his side.

“I am helping Lee in this war Asphyxious.” Dark Magician deadpanned.

“Me too.” Dark Magician Girl said happily.

Asphyxious growled softly at this as he moves away. “Just open a portal and I’ll make the rest of the way by foot.” He asked calmly.

“Okay, something tells me that you didn’t get laid today.” Dark Magician said as he open a portal.

“One of my mates was almost killed… I have every right to be angry.” Said the Lich Lord coldly as he walks into the portal.

“Must be a future thing for you to see Dark Magician.” Dark Magician Girl said to Dark Magician which he nods in agreement.

Craig then waved to him, “Good luck.”

Asphyxious laughed at this then said. “I need no luck… Just for my enemies to be stupid.”

“Don’t we all?” laughed Craig before the portal closed behind the Lich.

Blossom places her hand over her ear where an earpiece appeared. After listening a bit, she voiced her reply. “Sure thing Knox.” Turning her head to the others, she said. “Guys, I need you to go down to the Marketplace. One of our Commanders is having some troubles. Mind helping him? I’ve got this here, no use boring you.”

“Sure what kind of trouble is it?” Dark Magician asked.

“Terry says it’s Sombra’s goons flooding the city. Oh, and just a warning, he’s very… Egotistical. Just try not to piss him off, he’s a real asset.” Blossom stated. “Owen, mind staying with me?”

“Sure.” Owen said, shrugging.

The creature turned in their general direction, and roared. “Who are you maggots!?!?”

Deathwing who was quite looked at him. “I’ll handle this.” The alicorn flashed back into his dragon form.

“Okay.” Both Magicians said as they ran to kill some goons.

“I said,” The creature said, walking forward. “Who are you?”

“Simple.” In a burning flash, Deathwing returned to Dragon formed. “The Earth, literally.” Deathwing had a chuckle. “In all seriousness, I’m Neltharion the Earth Wander, but I go by Deathwing.”

Another being walked out of the broken building. This one was wearing a Spiderman costume. “Ignore Abomination, he’s taken the war thing too seriously. I’m Grand Commander Terrance Knox, or Superior Spider-man to you guys.” Four spider-like arms appeared around him. “You must be the re-enforcements I called for…”

“Yes we are. My name is Dark Magician Girl and my boyfriend’s name is Dark Magician.” Dark Magician Girl said as she appeared behind Abomination.

“I guess you’ll do.” Superior Spider-man said. “There’s an infantry AT-AT coming towards the city. A few actually. Me and Abomination can’t leave our posts because of Sombra’s shitheads, and the few Imperial Scouting Droids, so I’ll need you guys to take them out, as well as their escort team. Can you guys do that?”

Craig then smiled and said “Tell us where to go and we’ll hold them off.” Deathwing’s form altered until he was in his human form. Maul in hands he gave a smile.

Superior pointed towards the walls of the city, “Hurry up, if they get here the city is lost and all the ponies here will die. My man can’t handle something that powerful!”

Craig then looked up then said “I’ll buy you some time.” He then began to levitate off the ground and disappeared.

Deathwing’s wings formed as he took off into the air. He came landing into the fight sending bounders up which he smashed at the attackers. He made a raising motion as the clouds readied their lighting.

Dark Magician fired a magical EMP blast at the Imperial Scout Droids, frying their systems.
Outside the walls of Canterlot, three AT-AT’s were… Walking up the mountain… Craig then appeared above them then said “I don’t think you’ll get far.” He then brings his hands to his side and shouted “KameHameHa!”

Seconds later a blue beam of light explodes from his hands destroying the AT-AT below him. The second AT-AT aimed it’s head at Craig and shot him so hard he went flying and was disoriented.

“Gah, stupid tanks!” He then looked back towards the AT-AT that shot him, draws his sword and then charges at the cables attaching it to the wall and somehow manages to slice them causing it to stumble, but it didn’t fall. Black magic held it’s feet to the stone. “dammit why won’t this thing fall!”

“Need a hand?” Deathwing asked the lightning Deathwing summoned struck him with his hands raised a massive bolt shot third and toar through the AT-AT.

“Thanks, needed the support.” shouted Craig Deathwing nodded.

“DARK MAGIC ATTACK!”” Dark Magician Girl yelled as she blast the AT-AT with dark magic.

“Nice Shot.” Dark Magician said which made Dark Magician Girl blushed.

There was an explosion in the market place.

“Oh now what?” Dark Magician Girl asked.

The Superior Spider groaned as he sat up… Well, tried to. Abomination was on top of him, most likely having saved him from the explosion.

“Someone get Abomination off of me!” He yelled.

Craig then walked over and said “I got you.” two blue tendrils then appear and slowly rolled Abomination off of The Superior Spider’s body before he asked “are you okay?”

The Spider sat up and brushed himself off. “Yeah, but the markets aren’t. Hope their owners have insurance.”

“Especially the pony that owns the cabbage stall.” Dark Magician Girl said as she ran by them.

Superior looked to the stall and noticed it was a pile of rubble. “I’ve seen-” He was cut off as it suddenly caught on fire for no reason. “Nevermind.”

“I feel sorry for cabbage stall owner.” Dark Magician said as he blast a goon that was about to attack the Superior Spider-man from behind.

“Hey! Where’d that Death Knight go!?” Yelled Rainbine who had flown over to them.

“What Death Knight?” Superior asked confused.

“She’s the one who attacked the market!” Dasher replied.

“Maybe she went to the bathroom?” Dark Magician Girl suggested.

Superior groaned, “She’s a Death Knight, she can’t go to the bathroom… Why do you ask?”

“Alduin and Deathwing had her captive, but they left her and she most likely got away!” Rainbine reported. Everyone face palmed at this. “You better not be facepalming at me!”

“Nope.” Dark Magician Girl said as she hides her hand she just use to facepalmed.

“Definitely not you Rainbine. More the fact that they let an enemy escape after defeating them,” admitted Craig.

“Good! Cause it wasn’t my fault!” Rainbine said before flying off.

Superior crossed his arms. “Well, I’m surprised Canterlot’s still standing, let alone there haven’t been any casualties.” He stretched a bit. “Guess I gotta give you an objective, huh…?”

“What is it?” Dark Magician asked.

“Well, before that explosion happened, one of my Spiderbots located an encampment in the Cloud District. They have vital information that could jeopardise my operations here. I’d say that’s the most important thing, but there’s also a squad of Clones trying to evacuate a large group of citizens.”

Discord came floating down. “So you need someone to get the information back, or erase it? I’m up for that.”

“They’re somewhere in the east, here.” Superior gave Discord an odd device, “This is the only way to retrieve the data by the rules. Destroy the droids, plug this in, and we’ve got our stuff back. There are five of them scattered around.”

“Okay a stealth mission it is.” Discord body soon became a copy of a droid. “Wish me luck.” He said as he floated off.

Superior was focused on a data pad. “Luck is an illusion, and you’d do best to know that.” Discord seemed to ignore that as he headed off.

“Now what?” Dark Magician Girl asked. “Because I think all the goons are gone.” She added.
Superior laughed. “These boneheads are respawning enemies! And if you listened, I said there was a group of clones who are helping the citizens escape. They’re currently under fire from a bunch of droids. When you’re done, meet me at the southern part of the city, and I’ll give you something else to occupy your time.”

“Okay.” Dark Magician Girl said as she pulls a TF2 Sapper out of her hammer space as she flew off followed by Dark Magician.

Craig then smiled and said “There ain’t no rest for the wicked.” He then began to follow Dark Magician Girl.

Five clones hid behind cover with ten ponies who were cowering in fear.

“Where’s that backup!?” Yelled one named Waster.

“They’re a little busy!!!” Yelled their captain.

“Did someone call for backup?” Dark Magician Girl asked as she and Dark Magician landed next to the clones.

“Oh thank god!” Said another clone. “The cavalry!”

“Quiet Visor!” The Captain said. He then saluted. “My name Captain Beckett sir and ma’am!”

Craig then landed next to the magicians and asked “are you all okay?”

“We’re fine, but that unicorn filly needs to get out of here and get medical care. There’s a few CIS Droid Tanks blocking our path out of the city, already two groups got killed trying to make a run for it. Take those things out, and we’ll be able to get out of here.” Said Beckett. “I think there are around twenty three of them-”

“Twenty-four Captain.” Corrected Visor. “They’re lined up so we can’t escape. Folteren’s forces seem to have the intention of giving us no Quarter.”

Craig then looked at Beckett and said “Please take me to the injured… I know a bit of healing magic to help her.”

Beckett brought Craig to the filly, who was hacking and coughing. Ash covered her body as well as blood, and her left hind leg was severely broken. “Our medic tried to fix her up, but we don’t have the supplies or time to help her. She might get an infection if she doesn’t have one already.”

Craig then nodded to Beckett and then looked to the filly and asked “Are you okay miss?”

“It hurts…” The filly said, tears brimming in her eyes.

Craig then knelt down and said “I’m going to help you… this may sting a bit so forgive me.” He then placed his hand over her and then said “Grand Healing.” Seconds later she was surrounded by a faint white glow which began to heal some of the injures as she became able to breath easier and her hind legs began to heal. He then whispered it a second time and the injures completely disappeared. He then looks back to her and said “Are you feeling any better?”

“Y-yeah…”

“That’s good, what's your name miss?”

“T-Twinkle Sage…”

“Well miss Twinkle, You need to keep out of sight. My friends and I will deal with the threat outside.”

“We’ll get rid of all the tanks for you.” Dark Magician said as he and Dark Magician Girl who was wearing a TF2 Spy outfit walked back to the group.

Craig then nodded to them as he followed them and said “Let’s deal with these robots.”

“Its zapping time.” Dark Magician Girl said.

Craig then smiled as he grabbed his Bolter pistol and a Plasma Sword as a blue synthetic skin covers his body. He then said “Let's do this.”

“Let’s.” Dark Magician said as he charge at the tanks with a EMP blast and frying their systems.

Craig then shouted “I’m with you!” He then runs forwards whilst shooting and slicing the droids as he approached the tanks. Once he got close he brought his hands near to each other then shouted “Final Flash!” Seconds later a bright yellow beam destroyed all the droids and the tank that was in front of him. He then shouted back to Dark Magician “Your turn!”

“DARK MAGIC ATTACK!” Dark magician shouts as he blasts the tanks.

A clone trooper shouted, “Boom!” As he and two other troopers threw a grenade each at the last tank of that area. The three exploded in key areas, sending the tank backwards in what they could only assume was shock. “Finish it!”

“Okay.” Dark Magician Girl said as she blasted the tank. It exploded, causing the surrounding droids to fall over. The clones shot them until they were dead.

Visor laughed as he looked at Dark Magician Girl. “Damn, you guys make that look easy…”

“Oh stop it, you’re making me blush.” Dark Magician Girl said blushing.

“Well then you just made my day.” Visor added.

“Shut it Visor! We’ve got more tanks up ahead!” yelled Beckett.

“Sorry Cap!” Visor apologised.

“I got an easier way for this.” Dark Magician said as he open a portal right under the tanks and they fell in.

“Beckett! Why didn’t you tell us he could teleport!?” Waster asked.

Beckett grumbled, “I’ve never met a Displaced other than Bly...”

“Guess that’s taken care of.” Visor added.

“Alright! Visor, Patch, you two take care of the cives! Waster, Redeye, you two scout out X-23’s last location, I’ll report back to Commander Knox.” Beckett said. He then turned towards the Displaced. “Is there anything I can do for you sirs and ma’am?”

“None at the moment.” Dark Magician said as Dark Magician Girl shook her head.

“Well, if you do, we’re at your disposal.” Beckett said. “You guys should return to Grand Commander Knox.”

Superior was sat next to Abomination, who was still unconscious. A human male stood beside him wearing a black tuxedo and had his hands clasped in front of him.

“Who’s the tuxedo man?” Dark Magician Girl asked as she and Dark Magician landed next to Superior.

Craig then landed next to them and said, “That's the million dollar question.”

The man held out his hand. “Agent Coulson.”

Craig then smiled and said. “Ah, Agent of Shield I presume?”

“Technically yes, but I’ve never met Fury.”

“He’s a Displaced. The most useless Commander, I might add.” Superior added.

Craig then sighed and said “Even if someone’s not powerful they are still useful in other ways… heck they could be an amazing tactician for all I know.”

“It’s okay, he has a superiority complex. My comrades say what I lack in power I make up with dealing with his bitching.” Coulson smirked. “You must be Craig.”

“Yes and it’s a pleasure to meet you.”

“I am the Dark Magician and this is my girlfriend Dark Magician Girl.” Dark Magician said as he offers a hand to Coulson.

“Just to make this clear, Superior, Abomination and I were Displaced together with a bigger group.” Coulson stated, shaking Dark Magician's hand. “I’ll be your handler until such time as Webhead gets on his feet.”

“Which Webhead? Lee or Superior?” Dark Magician Girl asked.

Craig then sighed and argued “You want to insult either of them?”

“I’m right here.” Superior growled.

Coulson, ignoring the Commander, chuckles. “There are quite a few of them, aren’t there?”

“Yeah there's a third I met.” replied Craig

“Oh yes I have seen a few while I watch all of the Displaces back in my Equestria.” Dark Magician said while thinking about those spidermen and Gwens.

“Yeah, well there are four on the Alliance’s side and one on the Empire’s. Three are in my group, and I’m not even counting Lee.” Coulson shook his head. “Anyway, since Alduin and Deathwing let Shea escape, you’re going to have to pick up the slack. There’s another Imperial Commander by the name of-”

Craig then punched into his hand and said “who’s the target?”

“Why don’t you wait for him to finish.” Discord said as he floated up to them. He handed Coulson the drive. “Here’s the intel by the way.”

“Thank you,” The drive shrunk, and Coulson placed it into his pocket. “The Commander's name is Crona. You may know him from Soul Eater.”

Craig then sighed and said “never heard of it… this is one of the moments I wish I listened to my anime loving brother.”

“I do but it’s only from Loki memories.” Discord said with a shrug.

“I have heard of Soul Eater but I didn’t watch it. All I know of it is that one person turns into a weapon and another person can use it to fight with.” Dark Magician said while Dark Magician Girl was eating a cupcake.

“Well, it’s like this. There’s a weapon that turns into… You get it. And there’s a Meister… Hope I said that right… Well, only certain Meisters and Weapons can team up, but Crona’s weapon is… Different…” Coulson looked to a pad of paper he pulled out of his pocket. “Something like a demon weapon… I don’t know, but it’s best you don’t touch it or Crona’s blood.”

“Demon Weapon? Huh? I wonder if I could call Erza over to this Equestria to help fight this Crona.” Dark Magician Asked with a thoughtful look to his face.

“Okay, that’s good. Discord, I need you to bring Abomination and Superior to the medical bay, it’s somewhere near the castle I think.” Coulson said. “Crona was last spotted near the south part of the city before we lost communications there. There might be other Imperial Commanders, but we don’t know. Speak to Wasp, she’s set up near that area.”

“Very well.” Discord said as he floated away to get Abomination and Superior.

“Wasp? Who’s next Deadpool?” Dark Magician Girl joked.

Craig then laughed and said, “With the way my powers have been recently I’m halfway there.”

“Right then. Let’s go hunting for a Crona.” Dark Magician said as he and Dark Magician Girl fly off to the south part of the city.

“I can’t catch a break today” muttered Craig as he began to follow them.

Explosions went off left and right while the Wasp was crouched behind a building that was falling apart.

“Why did I get picked for this…” She sighed.

A voice then shouted “Hey, need some help?”

Wasp looks around, trying to locate the speaker.

The voice then shouted again “Above you!”

Wasp looks up to see Craig, Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl. “Oh thank gosh! Can you help me out!?”

“Just give me a target and I’m set.” Craig said as he landed next to Wasp.

“And we will send them to the Shadow Realm.” Dark Magician said as he landed with Dark Magician Girl.

“I’m guessing Coulson sent you after Crona… Great… Well, might as well get my sorry ass out of here! Look, the comms tower was damaged when Crona arrived. I tried to get some troopers up there to fix it, but we’re so uncoordinated without communications that I sent them in blind and I haven’t heard back from them. They’re most likely dead, but there are still some guys here I wanna get home! Mind fixing it?”

“Sure and don’t you worry Waspy. We will fix that tower for you in no time.” Dark Magician Girl said with a Pinkie sized grin.

“Do you even know how to?” Wasp questioned.

“Nope but Dark Magician is a being of understanding. So fixing that tower is no problem.” Dark Magician Girl said still grinning.

“Well, still. If you can’t figure it out, there’s a carrier that contains a bunch of Astromech Droids that can do it.” Wasp said, “And if you want, take one as your own. As a reward, if you want.”

“Dibs on R2-D2!” Said Dark Magician shouted with a smile.

“I don’t think we have that guy, but there’s a similar one. You like purple? R3-D3 is a good one.”

“Okay. I can change its colour to blue later.” Dark Magician said nodding.

“Or we could just name it Twilight bot.” Dark Magician Girl said giggling.

“Twi-Bot!” Wasp adds. “Or Iwt! Nah…”

“I think I’ll avoid taking it. The ponies in my world are in what feels like the dark ages it would send Twilight over the edge,” admitted Craig.

“Suit yourself. It could come in handy.” Wasp said. “Well, hurry up! I don’t have all year! The tower is the only sci-fi building here!”

Craig then nodded his head and said “Let’s go.” He then vaults out of cover drawing his Plasma sword and Bolter pistol and begins to charge into the oncoming bullet fire.

“LEEEERRRROOOOYYYYY JEEEEENNNKKKKIIIINNNNS!!!!!!” Dark Magician Girl shouted as she and Dark Magician follow Craig and blasting some droids that he saw in the way.

“Ahh!” One of the Droids yelped as it hid behind a pebble…

Dark Magician Girl giggled at that droid before blowing it up. “Too easy.” She said.

“Worst hiding spot ever.” Dark Magician said in agreement.

“Without a shadow of a doubt” agreed Craig

“There’s the tower.” Dark Magician Girl said as she points to the sci-fi looking tower. It was black and smooth, with blue lines traveling upwards.

“Okay and I bet our target’s around as well,” Craig said.

“Then let’s get there quickly.” Dark Magician said as he and Dark Magician Girl speeds up to the tower.

Once they reached the foot of the tower Craig said “Okay, I’ll keep an eye out. You focus on the repairs.”

“Roger that.” Both Magicians said as they enter the tower from behind. Along with grabbing the purple R3 on the way.

While they did that, Craig noticed a blond pigtailed girl wearing a trench coat and a miniskirt. She was skipping around, not seeming to notice the mayhem.

Craig then looked towards her and just shouted “Hey, what are you doing here miss?”

She just ignored him as she went over to a squad of clones and waved at them. They jerked back as a scythe appeared in her grip and she cut them down.

Craig’s hand then fell to his sword as he ran over towards the girl and shouted “Hey, you! Leave now if you don’t want a fight, but if you do I am more than happy to oblige.”

The girl turned to Craig, showing him her hollow green eyes. Her head tilted, and she grinned sadistically. “That’s a funny word… Oblige…” She started twirling her Scythe a bit, and spun a few times before freezing up.

Craig then sighed and asked “what is your name, miss?”

“Miss? Do I look like I’m old!?” She tossed her weapon into her other hand. “Maka Alburn!”

“No older than me but heck you can’t think someone’s young or old in this world. Now, miss Alburn, what are you doing here?”

“Isn’t it obvious? Helping Crona!” Maka started twirling her Scythe with one hand. “And stop calling me miss!”

“What would you prefer me to call you then?”

Maka rolled her eyes. “How about something less… Annoying? Like my first name?”

“Okay then, Maka. Second question, who is this Crona?”

An anime vein appeared on her forehead. “You know who he is. You’re trying to capture and/or kill him! Well guess what?” She slammed her Scythe into the ground, which brought up ten Super Battle Droids, weapons pointed at Craig. “I’m not letting you!”

“Okay then Maka, I can promise you that wasn’t my intention. But if you want to do this then I guess you leave me no choice.”

The Droids opened fire, sending a barrage of red towards Craig.

He then closed his eyes as a blue lightsaber appeared in his hand and he deflected the blasts back into the droids which in turn destroyed them. He then turned to Maka and said “where is Crona? Don’t make me beat it out of you.”

“I’d rather die…” Maka said, clicking her left index and thumb, which summoned a dozen CIS Tank Droids around the tower, each aiming their cannons at it’s base. They opened fire, having the full intention of tearing it down.
“MIRROR FORCE!” Shouted Dark Magician from inside the tower which created a barrier that send the attacks right back at all the CIS Tank Droids and destroyed them.

Craig then turned back to Maka and said “I gave you fair warning.” He then ran towards her and shouted “Rasengan!” causing her to be sent flying backwards. He then reappeared behind her and elbowed her square in the back which caused her to collapse onto the ground.

Maka screamed in pain. Her body spasmodically twitched, and her Scythe lay twenty feet away from her. A clone on the sidelines held a scanner in his hands, which he proceeded to break.

“It’s over nine thousand!!!”

“It’s actually over eight thousand.” Craig pointed out.

“Must have been a malfunction…” The clone mumbled as one of his brothers patted him on his back.

Maka coughed, trying to readjust herself to be propped up by the remains of a pillar.

Craig then sighed as he ran over to her and said “stay down.” He then struck her along multiple pressure points which completely paralyzed her. He then knelt down and said “I’m sorry Maka.”

“No you’re not… You aren’t sorry… At all…” Maka said as she slumped over. “Crap…”

Craig then knelt down and said “If you had just told me what I wanted to know this could have been avoided… I’m sorry but now I must take you as my prisoner.”

“You think you’re… A hero just because… You’re fighting for what's ‘right’?”

“No, I never identified myself as a hero… I only fight to protect those I care about or to protect the innocent. You harmed somebody and I had to stop you.”

“And you don’t think I care about someone? Maybe I’m protecting Crona…” Maka groaned.

“I know you care for him and that’s why I’m sorry for doing this to you, we were both only doing what we thought was right.”

Wasp jogged over, wheezing. “Jeez! You guys work fast! Comms just went up, and a unit of clones located Crona.”

“I told you it was no problem.” Dark Magician Girl said as she and Dark Magician came back with R3-D3.

Craig then looked at Wasp and said “We also have Maka here as our prisoner. Don’t worry about her attacking you she’s completely paralyzed.”

“Kay, I’ll take psycho back to base. Crona’s in Hoity Toity’s old manufacturing building. Apparently, the Empire thought it would make a good camp for its Commanders.”

“If it’s a camp for their commanders we’ll need backup before we attack,” Craig said.

“Backup you say?” Dark Magician Girl asked with a grin.

“What are you thinking?” Craig asked.

“Well back in our Equestria we removed monsters from the heart of ponies and seal them stone tables. We found a way to summon those monsters to fight for us when we feel like being lazy. Which is very rare for us to be.” Dark Magician Girl while grinning at the idea.

“Or maybe my sister Blaze and our other friends from our Equestria could come and help fight Crona.” Dark Magician suggested.

While they continued, Wasp dragged a moaning Maka along with her and called in a drop ship.

Craig then looked towards them and said “but first I will make sure Maka is taken into custody safely. Once it’s done I will catch up with you.”

“Really? I can take care of it, you don’t have to baby an Alliance Commander. Besides, maybe Coulson can help you. He’s pretty agile.” Wasp said as the drop ship arrived.

“That's not the reason, it’s more to allow her to move again after she gets to base,” Craig admitted.

“Oh, we can do that too. Heck, I’m pretty knowledgeable on paralysis.” Wasp said. “So, should I call Coulson?”

“Sure why not.” Dark Magician said.

Wasp got Maka on the ship and pressed a button. “Hey, Agent! Looks like these bigshot Displaced need some help from your stun gun!”

“Not funny Wasp. Why are you really calling me?” Coulson replied.

“I’m serious. Right, bigshots!?” Wasp asked.

“Yeah.” Both Magicians said.

“For once in her life she’s being serious,” Craig said.

Coulson sighed, “If you knew her better, you’d know that when she’s serious, she’s not… If you really need backup, I’ll call Misty.”

“Oh come on! I love watching you flail!” Wasp gushed.

“I hate you Wasp…”

“I wonder what Pokemon Misty has.” Dark Magician Girl said.

“I think they are going to be water type Pokemon.” Dark Magician said to Dark Magician Girl.

“Most likely” Craig agreed.

“You’d be surprised…” Wasp said. “Need anything before I go? That clone with the green paint should take care of everything anyways! Later!” With that, the ramp closed and the ship left.
“She means me…” Grumbled a clone in green armor. “My name is Captain Hulk… Sirs and ma’am...”

“There’s a joke in there but I am not going to say it.” Dark Magician said to himself.

“The green paint is where I get the name… Wasp’s idea… Guess it’ll do until I’m dead. Do you need my squad's assistance?”

“Yes. We are going after Crona and we help all the help we could get.” Dark Magician said to Captain Hulk.

“Perfect. Glad to know we’re your first choice for your human shields.” Hulk said sarcastically.

“More like you guys taking out Crona’s guards or droids while Dark Magician, Craig and me fight Crona. Is that alright with you, Hulky?” Dark Magician Girl asked.

“Not like I have a choice…” Hulk grumbled.

“Forgive him, he’s one of the oldest clones.” Said another trooper. “Some reason he doesn’t like shooting clankers. Or fighting…”

“Maybe he’s a pacifist?” Craig suggested.

“I’m not a pacifist, I just don’t like fighting a war that doesn’t make sense to me.” Hulk said, before signaling his Troopers to head to Hoity Toity’s place. “Scout the area, but do not engage until Misty’s here!”

They saluted and ran off, leaving Hulk and the Displaced behind.

“This war is pointless… You Displaced don’t know what’s really at cost here. The inhabitants, and the soldiers are dying here, and the more that join, the more good people die.”

Craig then sighed and said “I agree with you, this war is pointless, it’s basically like two younger brothers fighting over a toy.”

“Try being the toy…” Hulk said pulling out a minigun.

“I wasn’t referring to you. I meant their arguments are pointless, I used the toy thing as an analogy.”

“Well… Let’s hurry up…”

“Misty is being a real Slowpoke getting here.” Dark Magician Girl while giggling at her joke.

Suddenly, a shuttle arrived and landed, lowering its ramp to reveal Misty and a Togepi. She hopped off, flashing a smirk.

“Some of us don’t have portals.” She said.

“Well now you are here. Crona better be prepared for trouble.” Dark Magician Girl said.

“And make that double.” Dark Magician said.

Craig then sighed,“Any more Team Rocket lines and I will paralyze you.”

“Wobba Fett.” Misty smirked. Hulk snarled.

“Can we get moving?” The Captain asked impatiently.

“Wait for me.” Discord said as he flew up to them, “Sorry I’m late wanted to rendezvous with you all as soon as I was done.”

“Well there you go, you’ve done it.” Hulk said. “Can we capture this Crona kid?”

“I think the answer is yes.”

Misty stood in front of Hoity Toity’s place, Pokeball in hand, standing over a few Battle Droids.

“Hulk, secure the area outside the building.” She ordered. Hulk grumbled and signaled his unit to split up and do what the Commander said.

Misty opened her Pokeball, summoning a Dugtrio.

“A Dugtrio?” Dark Magician Girl said confused.

“What?” Misty asked.

“Nothing really. I just thought you would use water type Pokemon.” Dark Magician Girl answered.

“If she has a ground type I wander if she has a bug type as well.” Dark Magician said to Dark Magician Girl.

Craig then smirked and said “If she has her phobia as well I very much doubt it.”

Misty shuddered. “Don’t go there…”

“That’s a yes on the phobia part.” Dark Magician Girl said giggling.

Craig then smiled and said “At least you don’t have Acrophobia. It does my head in when I’m flying but I’ve learn’t to ignore it since I got Displaced.”

“Try being around Wasp…” Misty grumbled.

“Anyway. Let’s get in there and beat Crona up really good.” Dark Magician said as he checks his hammer space.

“So who’s going to knock?” Asked Dark Magician Girl.

“I was thinking Dugtrio.” Misty said as she pointed towards the door, which was thrown off it’s hinges by a headbutt.

“Knock knock.” Dark Magician said.

“Housekeeping.” Dark Magician Girl said giggling.

“Let’s hope we can do this without too many casualties,” sighed Craig.

“These are Droids, not organics.” Misty said. “Well… Not sentient? I dunno. Doesn’t seem like they're on this floor...”

Once inside they saw the middle of the room had what looked like a large pile of droid body's put in it.

Craig then closed his eyes then said “I can sense five living targets in there, but I can’t sense any more than that.” he then opens his eyes.

“Dugtrio, use dig and figure out what’s here.” Misty ordered, and Dugtrio nodded and went underground. That’s when they heard a loud hiss from the pile of dead robots. Then a large skull like head pokes out and looks at Misty in the face as it mandibles move.

Craig then looked at Misty and said “Get behind us.”

Misty screamed and scurried behind Craig. The metal worm then started to dig its way into the floor as black smoke flowed behind it. All that left is a hole in the floor where it once was.

Craig then closed his eyes and sensed where the creature would reappear and then said “It’s gone.”

“What… Was that!?” Misty yelled.

“A metal worm.” Dark Magician answered Misty.

“B-but Folteren doesn’t have any bugs yet!!!” Misty said, fearful tears streaming down her cheeks at the thought of fighting bugs.

“No, that worm belongs to an Iron Lich we know.” Dark Magician Girl grinned.

“It’s not funny~!” Misty whined as Togepi hugged her from behind.

Craig then sighed and said, “Don’t worry Misty, it’s gone and if it does come back it will be turned to ash.”

Misty sighed. “We’re gonna need help…”

“Yeah some dino help.” Dark Magician said nodding.

“J-just call him…” Misty said as she pulled out another Pokeball.

“Right. Hey Owen get yours and your dino’s lazy ass out here right now!” Dark Magician Girl shouted.

A boom sounded and and ODST dropship landed in the middle of the droid pile and a few others outside landed as well. The first one opened and Owen came walking out.

“Did somebody call?” he said.

The other dropships opened and six raptors walked out, one having a metallic jaw and another had a very spiked tail.

“That would be me.” Dark Magician Girl said waving her hand.

“Hello again. So what’s the reason you called me here?” Owen asked.

“We need your help with dealing with some droids.” Dark Magician answered.

“Alright then, just let me get my Z-6 rotary cannon.” Owen snapped his fingers and the minigun appeared in his hands.

“Girls, come over here.” Owen said.

“Coming dad.” a raptor with blue streaks running down her sides came with the other five raptors.

“You guys are our eyes in there. Lead us to the other droids in here.” Owen said.
They walked forward and smelled the air.

“Sir, the droids are on the upper floor.” the raptor with the metal jaw said.

“Good job Carnifex. Radio the Dactyl brothers to shoot any enemy that comes out of this house.” Owen ordered.

“Sir, yes, sir!”

“We knew they were there…” Misty mumbled. “Anyways, I’ll check the basement to see if there’s anything useful. Commanders can be slippery and get away like the Magicians, so I’ll be as quick as possible. I expect Crona to be on top, so take this guy with you.” Misty announced as she summoned a Blastoise.

“Cool! Let’s give Crona a shell of a beating.” Dark Magician Girl said as she and Dark Magician flew to the top.

Craig then sighed and said, “I better try to paralyze this one as well.”

“Hurry up Owen, you’ll be left behind.” Misty commented as she went downstairs.

“I’m comin’,” Owen said following Misty downstairs.

Blastoise growled as he tried going down the stairs.

“Should be a squad up ahead. You take ‘em out.” Misty said.

“Aw blast it!” Yelled a Battle Droid before Dark Magician Girl whacked it over the head.

“You are too slow!” Said Dark Magician Girl giggling as she another droid.

“Now where is Crona?” Asked Dark Magician as he look around.

Craig then looked around and sayid “No idea, but I’ve got an idea how to get a reaction from her… but it’s likely to piss her off.”

“Like calling her girlfriend?” Dark Magician Girl asked.

“Crona’s a boy actually…” A feminine voice says from behind them. Spinning around, the trio saw a robot girl with black ‘pigtails’. “So you’re Lee’s ‘heroes’?”

Craig then said, “What do you think kid?”

“Wow, you really don’t know who you’re talking to. I’m Folteren’s lead General Chaos Jenny. Don’t call me kid.”

“I knew who you are.” Dark Magician said.

“Then you should know I’m allowed to use my full power unlike you.” Chaos smirks. “Wanna go cry to your momma?”

Craig then sighs and mutters “I don’t use my full power… ever”

“Oh, Chaos Jenny? You do realise you're fucked when facing me?” Dark Magician Girl asked while wearing a TF2 Spy outfit and holding a zapper.

“And I can use an EMP spell.” Dark Magician said as he points his staff at the robot girl. “I am surprised you didn’t bring Robotboy with you.” He added.

“I don’t need him.” Chaos laughed. “And that EMP won’t do a thing against me. I’ve made adjustments...”

Craig then sighed and said “Unless we remove your batteries then you can’t do anything.”

“Shut up, you’re talking is hurting my ears.” Chaos said as she sent a laser blast into Craig’s chest, sending him through the side of the building. “I’m sick of hero players…”

“That’s gotta hurt. Hey, where did Dark Magician Girl go to?” Dark Magician asked looking but only to spot her declocking behind Chaos Jenny and placing the zapper on her back. Unfortunately, it short circuited.

“I’m not normal hardware!” Chaos yelled as her torso spun to face Dark Magician Girl with a cold glare. She sent her fist into Dark Magician Girl’s stomach, sending her crashing into the floor.
Dark Magician Girl just get back up smiling while opening hand to reveal some screws. “Look you got a few screws loose.” She said.

Chaos glared. “I thought you’d be easy. Guess I overestimated Time’s commitment. This isn’t my strongest body, and it won’t be the last.” Her eyes lost color, and a timer popped up in it.

“A bomb? How lame.” Dark Magician said as he open a portal right under the body bomb and it fell in. But it slammed into his back.

Craig then reappeared and said, “Allow me.” He then threw it out the window and then throws it high into the air as it disappears. Then fell back down towards Ponyville… And right on top of Twilight’s castle…

BOOOOMMMM!!!

Craig then muttered, “Fuck my life.”

“Craig you moron. You blew up Twilight’s Castle.” Dark Magician said deadpanned.

Craig demeanor then completely changed before he said “You’ve got to get away from me. Quickly.”

“Why?” Dark Magician Girl asked confused.

Craig then looked towards them as they realised that he eyes had turned blood red and he said “my powers have overloaded you need to get to safety.”

“Right.” Dark Magician said as he opens a portal to the moon right under Craig and he fell in.

“Biiitttcchh!” Dark Magician Girl yelled.

“Now where is that yellow belly Crona is hiding?” Dark Magician said out loud.

Dark Magician listened carefully and heard a sniff and quiet breathing from his left. There was a reinforced door with the remains of Droids and a lot of blood over it.

“I think he’s that way.” Dark Magician Girl said as both Magicians walk to the door. The breathing picked up, and the two heard whimpering.

Both Magicians looked at each other confused before opening the door. Inside, a pink haired boy sat curled up in a corner, shaking like a leaf.

“Huh, that’s Crona? I thought he would be older.” Dark Magician Girl said looking at Crona.

“Yeah.” Dark Magician said. “I wonder what Craig’s doing on the moon.” He added.

“P-Please, leave me alone…” Crona said.

“Why?” Both Magicians asked.

“J-just… Please…” Crona sniffed.

“Why are you here?” Dark Magician Girl asked.

“She means why are you in this war?” Dark Magician asked which Dark Magician Girl nods at him.

“M-mr. Spinner Displaced me… I was forced to become one of F-Folteren’s Commander thingys…”

“Hmm, right, how to deal with this problem?” Dark Magician said to himself.

“The rules do say that if a displace get killed he or she get brought back to life in their Equestria and can’t rejoin until after a week.” Dark Magician Girl said thinking on what to do.

“Hmm, maybe we can give him a painless death so he can relax back in his Equestria for a week.” Dark Magician suggested.

Crona’s eyes widened. “N-no! I don’t have an Equestria! None of the Commanders do!”

“Really? I thought all displaced have an Equestria.” Dark Magician Girl said.

“Not really.” Discord came floating next to them. “Some Displaced are lost in other multiverses, and a few have no real home as they are created as companions for Void Dwellers.” He answered.

“Then what should we do with him?” Dark Magician asked.

“Well that depends, killing him could be permanent if he doesn’t have a way to be reforged if he dies like me and Evilight.” Discord said as he started to think, “Perhaps we should ask Time Spinner.”

“Or maybe you just take him as your prisoner… Like you were ordered to.” Captain Hulk walked into the room. “Where’s Craig?”

Discord looked around then looked up. “I’ll go get him.” With that he turned into lightning a few moments later Discord returned with Craig from a bolt of lightning. “He was on the moon, near where Loki set up camp.”

“Okay, taking Crona as a prisoner it is then.” Dark Magician Girl said.

Craig then knelt down next to Crona and said, “Time to take you to Maka.” as he sounded like he was before he overloaded. He then picked Crona up and put the boy over his shoulders.

“I’ll go check on Misty,” Hulk said.

“Now that is taken care off. What now?” Dark Magician asked.

“Do you feel that?” Discord asked, outside the clouds darkened. Around beings of fire appeared into existence while Discord looked on. “Well, this is unexpected.” He stated looking on.

The fire beings looked up and moved to them. “You are Alliance.” The fire being said. “The Earth Wander, and the Elemental Lords have sent us, we are yours to command.”

“Neat.” Dark Magician Girl said.

“Glad to have your assistance,” Craig replied.

“What would you have us do?” He asked.

“How about watch and deliver this captive?” Discord asked pointing to Crona.

“Very well.” He said as they surrounded Crona.

Craig then took him off his shoulder and said, “Nothing will happen to you. I promise.” He then passed him over to one of Fire elementals.

The elementals moved out with the captive. Discord turned to them. “Ok, so what’s next? Or is this it?”

“Well I don’t know,” Craig admitted. “We could possibly try asking Coulson.”

“Right, can’t Misty call him?” Dark Magician asked.

“Yes, yes she can. I guess we better go ask her.”

“So, where is she?” Dark Magician Girl asked.

“I got a better idea. Hey, Discord, could you take us to Coulson?” Dark Magician asked looking at Discord.

“Sure hold on.” With a flash they turned into lightning and soon appeared right in front of him.
Coulson was talking to Wasp about something serious, but the antennaed girl seemed to be making a joke about it.

“And you let it get away?” Wasp snickered.

“It had a Lightsaber, what was I supposed to do? Get my arm chopped off?”

“Or you could force it to drop the lightsaber.” Dark Magician Girl said giggling behind Coulson.

“Oh ha ha.” Coulson rolled his eyes. “Did you take care of Crona?”

“Yes. He is now a captive.” Dark Magician said.

“You make it sound like a bad thing.” Coulson said. “In any case, you’re all free to go back home. We’ve kept you here longer than we thought. If you want to say goodbye to anyone before going, feel free.”

Craig then turned to Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl and said “Catch.” He then threw them both an amulet in the shape of his sword and then says “if either of you ever need help don’t hesitate to call me.”

Both Magicians took Craig’s token and then gave him theirs. Which is a Yu-Gi-Oh! card version of themselves. “Same goes for you,” Dark Magician said with a smile.

Discord looked down for a moment. “Great, well, I’ll see you all later.” With that he disappeared through a portal.

“Well, Dark Magician Girl and I need to head back to see how my sister is doing running Neo Domino Town,” Dark Magician said as he opened a portal and steps in.

“See you all in the next Alliance chapter. Bye.” Dark Magician Girl said giggling as she step into the portal as it close.

“I’m not going to miss those guys.” Coulson stated.

“Ditto. Think Blossom will play Halo 5 with me?” Wasp asked.

“At least you didn’t spend the day with them. And who knows, you may get lucky.” He then tossed them both a copy of his token then continued to say “If any villains come after you lot shout me.”

“Of course.” Coulson said, before turning to Wasp. “Maybe we shouldn’t focus on games right now, we just lost Canterot, one of our biggest assets-”

They continued their conversation as they went towards Canterlot Castle as I opened a portal and walked through it.
