Is the Mirror that connects Equestria to the Equestria Girls dimension limited to just that? How many more worlds are available to the mirror than just the one we've seen?

After Twilight spends some time trying to figure out what the mirror is capable of, Discord revels some secrets about the mirror and pulls a trick or two. Allowing the world to access an untold number of worlds, alternate dimensions and other times. However how long will it be before the very composition of creation is put at risk? Is there such a thing as too much of a good thing?

(Yes I'll be taking requests for this one. This is more of an experiment for me and I'm not sure if this first chapter works....at all but hey let's give it a shot) (And I know the cover image sucks...but it's the best I can do)

Chapter 2

Twilight sat looking at the mirror wondering, how they could detect where the portals would open up and how to get to them in time. Iroh walked in with a small cup of sweet tea and sat next to her but the silence of the room remained. Twilight looked at the tea before looking back at the mirror with a sad flutter of her wings.

“What’s the matter?” Iroh asked looking at Twilight with concern “I know the situation must seem daunting but if you focus on the bad then you might miss the good”

Twilight looked at Iroh with a look of confusion on her face “How can this be anything but bad? We were lucky that you were the one who came through from your world but what happens if someone really bad comes through?! What happens if something we can’t control comes through?! What happens if some form of terrible energy come through?! What if….?!”

“Giant rock snake!” a loud voice screamed from the hall outside the room “Twilight! Help!”

Twilight and Iroh ran out into the hall to see a panting Applebloom who looked very scared “What is it Applebloom?!” Twilight asked looking at the younger pony “What do you mean giant rock snake?”

“There's a massive, giant rock snake at Sweet Apple acres!” Applebloom panted as she was very out of breath “Big Mac and Applejack are trying to control it but it’s so massive it’s shaking them off like flies!”

“That does sound troublesome” Iroh said in a relaxed tone.

“It’s more than…what the heck are ya!?” Applebloom began but looking up seeing Iroh for the first time, left her a little confused “Uh Twilight?!”

“Relax, Applebloom he’s a human and he’s a friend” Twilight said as her magic hoovered to her a couple of books on strange creatures “So how big is this creature?!”

Applebloom shook her head and looked at Twilight “That’s just the thing Twilight; it’s bigger than anything I’ve ever seen!” she explained as they ran outside “It suddenly just appeared in the west field”

Twilight turned to Iroh who had walked out with them and shook her head “Sorry Iroh but I told you, ponies might be surprised to see a human and without wings or magic you’d only be in danger” suddenly Iroh kicked his right leg up, jumping high into the air and then flames roared to life around him. Just as suddenly as it started Iroh stopped and smiled “Right, come on then” Twilight said a little stunned that humans could do that. She made a mental note to ask her friends at Canterlot high; if they could do that.

Applebloom looked at Iroh in awe before saying “That was so cool!” as they ran along she asked Iroh more questions “So could ya teach me how to do that? Is that normal for humans? When did ya learn?!”

Iroh laughed as he ran and said “Young pony, I have been able to Fire bend since I was young and no not all humans can do it. I'm sure you have many skills I could learn from but sadly I can’t teach you Fire bending” he looked around at all the ponies staring at him and laughed “I guess my clothing is a little unusual”

Twilight had been listening to Iroh explaining what he called Fire bending and if there wasn't such a sense of urgency she’d have asked more questions herself but all she said was “Come on Applejack needs us!”

It was at that moment that Sweetie Bell and Scootaloo joined the three, both looked at Iroh with great curiosity but Applebloom shook her head and the five kept running towards Sweet Apple Acre. As soon as they arrived they saw the total chaos the giant rock snake had caused. Dozens of Apple trees were knocked over, farming equipment lay upon the ground broken and Big Mac was sitting massaging what looked like a broken front leg.

“Big Mac!” Applebloom screamed running up to her brother and looking at the leg that was lying at an awkward angle “Are ya okay?!”

Big Mac looked at her raising an eyebrow as if trying to say, What do ya think, but instead he just shook his head and said “Nope”

“Sweetie Bell, Applebloom, Scootaloo get Big Mac to the hospital” Twilight said eager to get the young ponies away from the area and turned to Iroh “So do you see a giant rock snake?”

Iroh however nodded looking with wide eyes in the direction of the Everfree forest and said “It appears to be focusing on a small orange…pony” he was having a hard time identifying Applejack next to the giant snake “We better go help the pony”

“Applejack!” Twilight screamed gaining both the attention of the giant snake and the orange Earth pony “Over here!”

Iroh began sweating “You do know? We don’t have a plan!” he said in alarm as Applejack ran over followed by the slower giant rock snake “If I was an earth bender this would be easy but I'm a fire bender!”

Applejack ran up, panting looked at Iroh but before she could ask, Twilight said “Not now” they all turned to face the oncoming creature “So does any pony have any ideas?”

Applejack nodded “I have one”

“Great what is it?” Iroh and Twilight said together looking happily at Applejack

“Run!” Applejack yelled turning and running.

Iroh and Twilight followed the fleeing Earth pony, they ran down to the pound, they were trapped and turned to face the oncoming giant but found the snake had stopped. It appeared to be scared and was looking at the pound trying to judge whether it could launch an attack without getting wet.

Iroh looked between the water and the snake before saying “It appears to be scared of the water” he took a deep breath and walked up to the now trembling snake “Excuse me, are you okay?” he asked in a calm soothing voice “Your just scared and confused aren’t you?” to the combined shock of all present the snake nodded “My name is Iroh, why don’t you join me for a snack and we can all relax” he then sat down and picked up an apple that was lying on the ground.

“Is he insane?!” Applejack whispered to Twilight in a hushed whisper.

“I guess his special talent is a lot like Fluttershy’s talent” Twilight said but she had to admit on a long list of things she didn’t think she’d ever see, this was pretty much at the top and it was about to get a lot more insane. Suddenly a small blue creature with a green bulb popped out from behind a tree and started to eat an apple on the ground “What is that?”

“Bulba! Bulbasaur!” the creature said clearly enjoying the apple. It was then that Twilight, Applejack and Iroh could see more of these weird creatures.

“Winona!” Applejack yelled in surprise, there her dog was running about with two strange looking dog like creatures, the three appeared to playing and Winona was leading the other two but when Applejack yelled she turned tilting her head in confusion. It was at that moment Applejack and Twilight could get a look at the two strange dogs. The first had dirty orange, light yellow and black fur, while the other was black and silver with tints of orange around its muzzle “What the hay is going on?! I have never seen dogs like these!”

Twilight looked over at Iroh, who was sitting with the giant rock snake and was surprised to see the giant creature seemed a lot calmer. While Iroh was eating an apple, the giant rock creature was eating a rock and Twilight smiled she had to admit it seemed quite friendly.

“Uh, AJ, with all due respect I think we’d better wait till we get the others together before I explain what happened” she said as she sat down and groaned “Oh! By the way this is Iroh” she nodded towards the man, who by this point was gently stroking the large creature’s nose and sighed “He’s a human”

“Wait! Ya mean from Canterlot high?!” Applejack asked looking at Iroh “He’s not quite what I pictured”

“About that, um…” Twilight started to explain everything to Applejack and as she went on, Applejack looked at the farm, the damage done and the strange creatures. While Twilight explained Winona and her new friend sat next to them clearly looking for attention. Twilight finally finished explaining with “That’s when Applebloom arrived”

Applejack frowned “So I take it, I’m stuck with these varmints for thirty moons? How long is that exactly?” she asked clearly dreading the answer.

Twilight groaned “Maybe if we’re lucky the portal that these creatures came through, might still be open” she suggested though both her and Applejack doubted it “I suppose we could ask Fluttershy if she’d be willing to take care of them?”

Applejack looked at Iroh and the giant rock snake “Even that one?” she asked numbly

Twilight followed her gaze but as she did so the orange creature licked her in the face “Hey! What was that for?” she asked stunned as Applejack began to laugh “I don’t want a doggie face wash” the creature tilted its head but licked her again.

“I think he likes ya” Applejack said as she stroked both Winona’s and the other creature’s stomachs “I think these are some kind of dogs?”

Twilight nodded as she stroked the orange one’s head “Well we better get the gang together to fix this mess”

So while they left the strange creatures with Iroh, who seemed only too happy to sit with the creatures, Applejack and Twilight went to find the rest of the main six but little did they know that deep within the Everfree forest the portal had opened and unleashed a new evil threat to all of Equestria!

Chapter 3

As Applejack and Twilight walked towards Fluttershy’s cottage the thought of what might come through the portal next was at the front of their minds. It was then that a horrible thought entered Twilight’s mind, what if the portal opened up somewhere where there wasn’t an obvious line of defence. Places like Appleloosa, Manehatten and other areas didn’t have any forms of defence. It was at that moment the truth was made all the more clear, they’d have to tell Celestia and sooner rather than later.

As if the thought had struck Applejack, she asked “Shouldn’t we tell the princesses about these portals?” she looked towards Canterlot as she spoke with a sad shake of her head “If ya don’t tell them, they’ll find out, I mean that massive rock snake it isn’t easy to ignore and I suspect they’ll be mighty bit ticked if you don’t”

Twilight knew despite her reservations that Applejack was right “After we tell Fluttershy, I'll send Celestia a letter and inform her” she said very much concerned about Celestia’s reaction but for the moment it was more important to inform the rest of the main six about the oncoming threat “So what do you think will come through the portal next?”

Applejack gave Twilight a look that said, really, it was clear her ideas of all potential beings that could come through the portal was a bit limited but Twilight had to admit her ideas didn’t amount to much “Let’s just hope no matter what appears that we can repel it” Applejack said as she knocked on Fluttershy’s cottage door.

When the door opened both Applejack and Twilight were left with their mouths wide open. There stood on his hide legs a tall rabbit, in a red waist coat and brown gloves. It was then that the rabbit spoke “Greetings, pleasure ta make your acquaintance” he said in a thick accent that neither pony could place and giving a little bow “Basil Stag Hare at your service, expert scout, hide leg fighter, wilderness guide and camouflage expert!” he seemed very eager to get all of his introduction out in short order but this left both Twilight and Applejack stunned “Uh might I enquire your names?”

It was then Fluttershy appeared at the door with a big smile on her face and said “Oh Twilight, Applejack I was just about to come and introduce you to my new friend Basil” she looked at Basil with a smile and leaned closer, both ponies expecting her to be scared but “Isn’t he wonderful?”

Twilight could only guess “Did you go through some sort of weird portal?” she asked as Basil stood smiling “It’s very nice to make your acquaintance by the way, Mr Stag Hare”

Basil nodded “I most certainly did. It was very bally rude” he said still smiling “I was walking along when a bally hole appeared under me! It was quite a shock when I awoke next to this lovely cottage. I have to say you ponies are much smaller than normal ponies I'm use to”

Applejack looked at Basil before giggling “So uh how much bigger should we be?” she asked as she resisted the urge to roll on the floor with laughter “I mean we seem about the size that ponies should be”

Basil sniffed, frowning at Applejack before smiling “Well you ponies should be at least that tall!” he pointed to a tree by the bridge that led to Fluttershy’s cottage “I mean really? I shouldn’t be taller than any of you”

Twilight couldn’t help but wish she had something to note down what Basil was stating about the world he was from “So uh where do you live Mr Stag Hare?” she asked wanting to find out about his world “Do you have magic?”

Basil shrugged “I’m not too sure, mam. Magic always seems to be in old stories of Martin” he said as he rubbed his chin “I mean old Cluny the lunny used to believe that the tapestry of Martin was magic but he was a lunny” he paused before smiling with what Applejack, Fluttershy and Twilight could not mistake for, pride “However as to where, I live at the abbey of Redwall within Mossflower wood”

“Redwall?” Fluttershy asked before she smiled “Why is the abbey called Redwall?”

Basil paused before saying “I always assumed because it’s built of red sandstone”

All of the ponies rolled their eyes before Twilight said “Well that would make sense” before they all giggled. It was then they heard a sound that all within Ponyville dreaded the sound of a creature as large as a dragon and with more heads, a hydra. As Twilight and Applejack turned they saw the Hydra heading for Ponyville “Oh no! If that thing gets to the centre of Ponyville it’ll eat every pony in sight!”

Before any pony could react Basil stag Hare leapt over Applejack and Twilight screaming “Give 'em blood and vinegar!” he jumped high again delivering a vicious kick to the head on the Hydra’s tail “Come on you oversized serpent!”

It was then Basil received some unexpected help when a rock flew through the air and struck the Hydra in the stomach “Geroar!” the massive rock snake was charging with its head lowered and tackled the Hydra.

Iroh suddenly ran up launching a vicious fire attack at the Hydra “Please forgive our late arrival” Iroh said to Twilight as he landed next to her “A blue pony told us you might need some help”

“Rainbow?” Fluttershy asked uncertain of the strange being before her, it was then a rainbow streak struck the Hyda and all were surprised to see a second attack hit the Hydra, the attack was bright blue in colour, the attack was so fearsome it knocked the Hydra into a group of trees and as they all turned they could see a massive blue and white wolf like creature “Wh…what is that thing?!” Fluttershy stuttered a little surprised.

Rainbow Dash landed next to Applejack sporting a cocky grin “Hey, check out my new mate, he is so awesome!” she said pointing the blue and white wolf “His name’s Gabumon!”

It was at that moment a boy with spikey blonde hair in a school uniform walked up and smiled “Actually Rainbow in that form he’s known as Garurumon!” he said with a nod as the large wolf growled at the hydra “By the way, can I just ask? Why was there a large rabbit, a giant rock snake and an old guy attacking that thing?”

Before any could answer the Hydra roared in anger, as it rose from the trees it struck out with two of its necks at the giant rock snake but the snake wasn’t quick enough to dodge the attack. As the snake flew backwards Basil and Garurumon launched their attacks but the Hydra knocked them both to the ground.

Basil stood looking very angry “You bally serpent!” he declared angrily as he jumped up “Come on old chap” he referred to Garurumon who got up growling “Are you alright?”

Garurumon nodded before saying “He’s not playing nice, raaaa!” he then opened his mouth wide before yelling “Howling Blaster!” the blue flames launched at a fearsome speed.

The Hydra was struck with all the energy that Garurumon had just fired out and as the attack ended Twilight appeared above the Hydra but before the Hydra could react, she launched a magical attack against the Hydra’s closest head and the Hydra fell knocked out.

Twilight landed next to Basil and smiled “Thank you”

“Absolute pleasure to help” Basil said as he turned to Garurumon who looked at Basil with curiosity “Although we couldn’t have done it without your good self, sir”

It was at that moment Garurumon was surrounded by a bright light and when the light cleared there stood a smaller creature who smiled “It was my pleasure” it said with a look at the Hydra “That guy was tough”

After a few minutes of cleaning the area of rumble, broken trees and other damaged items, the new friends gathered round the Hydra, one question was troubling them and Twilight asked “Why would the Hydra attack now?” all around her shrugged or looked at her with a curious expressions “I mean the Hydra has only ever been a threat when we were in froggy bottom bog?”

Fluttershy suddenly said “Has the Hydra always had a massive silver Z on its foreheads?” she pointed to the heads, on all the heads was a Z that flashed in a silver colour “I think it’s some kind of magic?”

Iroh nodded “Very observant but how do we know who put it there?” he asked looking at Twilight “It might be the larger threat you were talking about with me?”

Before Twilight could say a word, Rainbow cut in “Woah, woah hold up so where did all you weirdos come from anyway?” she asked completely tactlessly looking at the tall rabbit, the old man, the boy, the strange wolf creature and the giant rock snake “I mean this seems like…Twilight were you messing with some strange magic again?”

Applejack however answered “Well, as I understand it, Discord messed with the portal to Canterlot high and that’s how this lot got here” she explained as she sat down “I mean it's all very strange”

Fluttershy nodded “So Twilight did you give Discord permission to fiddle with the portal?” she asked kindly.

Twilight nodded “I was curious about the portal but when Discord did it Iroh came through and then Discord said the frame of the portal was cracked!” she said very quickly “As such portals will now open to different worlds!”

Basil scoffed “Well that sounds a tad bad” he said as he turned to the remains of the battle “I reckon, it’d be a top notch idea to go find whoever did this to the hydra”

“That sounds like a good idea but Gabumon and I better join you” the boy said as he stood up.

Twilight looked at the three with great concern “That sounds like a really bad idea” she said but looking at the three’s determined expressions “Maybe we should get you a guide?”

It was then that Fluttershy murmured “I’ll go with them” she looked at Basil with a kind look “I want to learn more about this Redwall place”

Applejack then tapped Twilight on the side "I better get these two back to Sweet Apple Acre" she said pointing to Iroh and the giant rock snake "That snake thing saved us and it looks hurt. I mean it was scary but we do owe it"

"Boomy, here likes to eat rocks" Iroh said with a kind look to the snake "I hope it is okay but I named it after a friend of mine. He just reminds me of my friend Boomy" all present had a small giggle and Iroh then added "I could also do with a cup of sweet tea"

After that Iroh, Applejack and the giant rock snake headed back to Sweet Apple acres saying they were going to clean up the mess. After teleporting the hydra far away, Twilight and Rainbow both nodded.

“So I guess we should head to Sugar cube corner?” Rainbow suggested as they flew up and headed for the shop.

Deep in the Everfree forest the villain who had send the Hydra was celebrating a different kind of victory “Well Zebra, you’re going to tell me all I want to know” it said

Zecora who was tied to a tree looked at the one who had captured her before saying “If answers you want from me, then find another zebra, for I will tell you no answers of any kind and I will tell you nothing but lies”

The villain growled with anger “Talk or else!”

So as Twilight and Rainbow raced to Pinkie Pie, the threat to Equestria was only growing larger than before. If this villain succeeds in getting the knowledge he seeks what will become of Zecora? Who else will show themselves and are all friendly?

Chapter 4

“Uh..Rainbow I’ve been meaning to ask. Where did Gabumon and that boy come from?” Twilight asked as they were flying to Sugar Cube Corner “I mean you just appeared with them”

Rainbow looked a bit annoyed but said “I was practising some really cool moves, when they suddenly appeared, I mean one second they weren’t there then next second they were and they asked me where they were” she paused “After telling them and getting to know them, we saw the hydra and came as quickly as we could”

Twilight nodded “It was a good thing, you showed up with them when you did but I’ve got to ask. What do you think of them?” she asked more to be sure Gabumon and the boy could be trusted “Did they tell you how Gabumon can change his appearance like the way we saw him change into that big wolf thing?”

“I think they’re pretty cool but Matt explained he’s got this thing called a Digivice that helps Gabumon to digivolve, that’s when he changes” Rainbow explained as they landed at Sugarcube corner.

“I take it the boy is called Matt?” Twilight asked as they opened the door to the shop but if Rainbow was going to answer, she stopped because of a women with purple hair wearing orange and black was standing in front of them. Twilight and Rainbow got ready to fight the woman and Twilight snapped “Who are you and where's Pinkie Pie?!”

The woman looked at them with a bit of bored look, before saying “If you mean the hyper active pink horse, she’s through getting more cakes and who are you two?”

Before either pony could answer Pinkie Pie suddenly ran in with some cupcakes, which she placed on the counter and said excitedly “Twilight, Dashy you’re here! This is my new friend Yaleolcui” she pointed to the woman and then offered the woman one of the cupcakes but the woman held her stomach and shook her head “Oh okay Twilight, Dashy do you want one?”

“Uh no I’m okay Pinkie” Rainbow said as she looked at the woman trying her best not to burst out laughing “So your name’s Yaleolcui?”

“No! My name’s Yoroichi” she said looking quite cross “I've been trying to tell your friend that for the last hour but Yaleolcui is the closest she got!”

“Oh come Yaleolcui, you gotta take things easier” a man in the corner that Twilight and Rainbow hadn’t noticed was sitting there said, he was wearing green and white but what Twilight and Rainbow noticed was the stick he was holding “Hello there my name’s Kisuke”

Twilight nodded “It’s very nice to meet you two, I’m terribly sorry about all this” she said with a guilty look.

Kisuke shrugged “It’s not like you opened the portal that brought us to this world” he said having not noticed the look on Twilight’s face but then he noticed and sighed “Oh, oh well, look I’m sure we’ll…who are they?” he pointed outside and as they all turned, they saw twenty or so men wearing all grey “They don’t look too friendly”

Twilight nodded “They’re attacking the ponies outside!” she said in alarm as they all ran outside “Okay, Rainbow you take the group on the right, Pinkie you take the group on the left, you two take centre left and I take centre right” all nodded and charged “Hey Rainbow, they have the same Z as the hydra!”

“Well they’ll go down just the same!” Rainbow said as she used her front hoof to kick one of the men in the face “HA take that!” however the man got right back up and Rainbow was only able to dodge by flying swiftly upwards “What the hay? He should be down for the count!”

Pinkie Pie looked at the grey men and said “OOOOO shiny!” she then hit the Z in the centre of the man’s chest and he went to pieces “Aw no need to go to pieces”

“That’s it the Z in the centre must be their weak spots!” Yoroichi said as she rapidly took three of them out “Aw come on Kisuke! Start fighting!”

Kisuke was dodging but wasn’t launching any kind of counter attack, he seemed to be trying to study the attacking enemy “Hmm very interesting they seem to composed of some basic spirit energy, not much stronger than a basic hollow” he then drew his sword and slashed the man on the chest which caused them to disappear.

After discovering the weaknesses of the grey men the group dispatched them with little difficulty, it was then that they heard a scream and a man with long white hair wearing red and dark green clothing ran up to them “Help that pony is nuts!” he said running up to Kisuke pointing towards Carousel Boutique “No one messes with the Toad Mountain sage’s clothes!”

It was at that moment all heard Rarity scream “Get back here!” in a few short moments all could see Rarity running towards them with a huge cloud of dusk behind her “Those clothes are a fashion disaster!”

“I’m a ninja not a fashion model!” the old man called back as he ran away and grabbed Twilight “Please help me! That white pony is nuts! She was talking about me wearing a pink!”

“Rarity!” Twilight said in alarm stopping Rarity before she reached the old man “What’s going on Rarity? Why are you chasing….? What’s your name?” she asked the old man currently trying to use Pinkie Pie as a shield.

The old man began to introduce himself “I’m Jiraiya, the toad mountain, a member of the legendry Sannin and…”

“A complete fashion disaster that needs to be removed!” Rarity interrupted Jiraiya and showed them a large pink outfit that looked as if it was for Jiraiya “This will at least make you presentable!” it was then that Rarity noticed Yoroichi and Kisuke “You two also need a fashion makeover. Orange what were you thinking? That hat is hideous!”

Both Kisuke and Yoroichi tried to protect their clothers before Rarity but they were saved by Rainbow who said “I think their clothing is 20% cooler than some of your dresses!”

Rarity looked very cross and said "Well see if I ever make a dress for you again!"

Twilight shook her head “It hardly matter, more of those portals are opening and if we don’t do something Equestria will fall apart. Then we’ll all be in deep trouble!” she said with sad look at Canterlot “And I still haven’t told Celestia”

Pinkie Pie said with a big smile “Why? This is great we have more friends than ever before!” she said looking at Jiraiya and asked “So your name Jamraya?”

“Noooo it’s Jiraiya” he said with a slight giggle “So can I guess your name uh…Pinkie?”

“OOOO Your good! My name’s Pinkie Pie!” she said as she pointed to Kisuke and Yoroichi “This is Kitkat and Yaleolcui!”

Kisuke couldn't help but laugh as Yoroichi said “It’s Yoroichi!” she was beginning to feel very irritated but she couldn’t help but notice Jiraiya looking at her with what could only be attraction “What are you looking at?”

“An angel that is very well....” Jiraiya said stupidly, failing to learn from the consistent amount of times he’d been rejected and before he could react or finish his sentence, Yoroichi punched him in the face, this knocked him out but Yoroichi looked at the pink outfit with a smirk.

“Kisuke could you put that outfit on him?” she said and five minutes later Jiraiya awoke wearing a bright pink outfit with yellow stripes “HA you look better!”

Twilight interrupted them before a fight could break out and said “We had better get over to the Everfree forest, if those grey guys were send by the same enemy that send the Hydra, Fluttershy and the others might be in trouble!” she pointed towards the Everfree forest as she spoke “Can you please help us?” she asked the three humans.

Deep within the Everfree forest another threat had arrived, her bug wings tugged in and her black body shone with the evil light that surrounded her. Chrysalis walked up to the being with the Silver Z and said “I’m the Queen of the Changelings, I can sense your power let me and my army help you conquer Equestria and we’ll give you anything you want. What is your name?”

The man looked at her pointing an evil looking staff with a large silver Z on top at Chrysalis “They call me Lord Zedd!”

Now a new evil alliance has arisen, can the main six and their new allies defeat the oncoming threat? Who else will join the side of evil? Are there any more allies to be had for Twilight?

Chapter 5

“That’s when we were able to defeat Devimon but without my little brother we would have been totally crushed” Matt finished explaining to Basil and Fluttershy as they walked deeper into the Everfree forest “So um…Fluttershy?” he asked still unsure of her name but getting a nod he continued “Who do you think is behind that Hydra thing?”

Fluttershy shook her head “I..I’m afraid I couldn’t say…the hydra has always stayed within Froggy Bottom Bog” she said as she fluttered her wings slightly “The only…one I think that…could control it is…um…possibly Discord but he’s our friend now”

“You called” a voice from a bush said and Discord stepped out “OOO Are these some of the creatures that came through the portal?” he asked as he looked at Basil with a raised eyebrow “Or has Angel grown and started wearing a waist coat?”

Basil ruffled his whiskers indigently “I beg your pardon my good sir! My name is Basil Stag Hare!” he said in an offended tone “You are hardly one to question, someone’s bally looks”

Discord shrugged “Fair point but what the heck is this thing?” he asked pointing to Gabumon “It looks like a cross between Spike and a dog then the colours ran in the wash” he joked as he laughed.

Gabumon frowned and turned to Matt “I don’t look that weird. Right?” Gabumon asked as he looked at Matt with the cutest look he could manage.

“Well you do look buff but yeah you do look a little odd. Hey, at least you don’t look like Sedramon’s mutated cousin” Matt said giving Gabumon a high five “You’re still the coolest mon around” to which Gabumon smiled.

It was then the group heard the sound of a large group of creatures pushing through the forest and Fluttershy said “Hide!” but in a bit of bad luck, all but Fluttershy made it into the bushes before the group of men in grey and changelings walked into the clearing, the changelings flew forward and grabbed her “Ahhh!”

“What are you doing in the Everfree Forest?” one of the changeling guards demanded her in a strange clicking tone “You’re not alone are you?”

Fluttershy took a deep breath and said in a scared tone “No, I came to gather food for my animal friends” she sounded so honest she’d have put Applejack to shame “P…Please let me go!”

In the bushes the group had to hold back, the group outside the bushes was too large for them to even think of fighting and if they did, Fluttershy might get hurt and Discord whispered “If we follow this group back to their base we’ll find out who send the Hydra”

Matt was first to point out “You were watching us? Why didn’t you help us with the Hydra?!” he hissed out.

The Changelings turned to the grey men “Take this pony to Queen Chrysalis, putties” one of the changelings ordered as he turned into a copy of Fluttershy and then in Fluttershy’s voice he said “I’ll go convince that ponies friends to follow her!” the putties nodded and taking Fluttershy from the Changelings, the putties turned towards the direction they’d come from but the changeling turned to the others “We’ll set up an ambush at the that ponies cottage and the Queen will reward us!”

With that the changelings left in the direction of Ponyville and Basil voiced the groups concerns “Bally bit of bad luck, old chaps. If we go after those putties, Twilight and the others will be lured into a trap, standard tactics aye wot but if we go after the fake Fluttershy, we leave the real Fluttershy to a fate worse than we can imagine” he said in a very quick tone “Well my good chap, Discord it’s your call”

Matt looked shocked “Why is it his call?!” he said as he looked at the tall rabbit “We should vote on it!”

Basil shook his head “Sorry, young squire but this is Discord’s world therefore he knows it better. When in a situation like this it’s better to stick with local knowledge, aye whot?” he said in a clearly confident tone “Also Discord here knows the ponies better than we do”

Gabumon nodded “I think Basil is right” he said as he looked at Matt who still looked as if he didn’t trust Discord “Where should go Discord?”

Discord had been thinking about which option and then he said “Well Princess prissy and the others can handle themselves but we don’t know who the putties bow to” he paused as he sighed “The new threat could be more powerful than Chrysalis”

As the group followed the putties, Matt whispered to Discord “Why don’t Gabumon and I just stomp them flat!?” he was eager to save Fluttershy but knew Basil had a point “I mean we could”

“Well for starters, I doubt you could” he said referring to just Matt “But other than that, it might draw the attention of their boss and I’d rather see what we’re up against, before we jump in but more than that we need to see their boss” he finished explaining.

“Why?” Gabumon whispered as the putties stopped in a clearing

Discord released a low groan “Because their boss might deploy more putties and other threats. We need to gauge his power” he whispered back as Chrysalis appeared in front of Fluttershy and the putties “Oh Chrysalis always a displeasure to see her”

“Ah if it isn’t little Fluttershy” Chrysalis said as she traced a hoof through Fluttershy’s mane “Well done putties. Now give her to me” the putties however kept a grip on Fluttershy “You dare disobey my orders” Chrysalis snapped enraged by the putties lack of obedience.

“They only obey my commands unless they think something will please me” a voice from the shadows said and Lord Zedd stepped out “Now let me look at our captive” he grabbed Fluttershy’s muzzle and looked at her before laughing “I can see something worth using!” his staff then shot out lighting at Fluttershy and Lord Zedd’s spell took effect “Behold Chrysalis my monster, Flutterbat!”

Discord hissed out “No, I made a mistake I didn’t think they’d turn her back into that thing” he was still holding Basil and Matt back but he continued to whisper “If Flutterbat gets to Sweet Apple Acres, Applejack’s apples will be whipped out!”

Lord Zedd however said “Now she’ll turn all ponies into batponies! Hahaha!” he then turned to a monkey costume lying on the ground “Now it’s time to revive one of my monsters, rise my beast, Primator!” the staff caused the costume to turn into a large white monkey monster with a blue and red face “Now Primator, go into the centre of Ponyville and destroy”

“Yes my master” the demonic monkey said as it and Flutterbat turned running towards Ponyville.

Matt whispered “What are we supposed to do now?” he was resisting the urge to have himself and Gabumon leap out at Lord Zedd but he waited for Discord’s thoughts.

“We have to turn Fluttershy back” Discord hissed back and the three suck away, once they were far enough away, Discord said “Now let’s chase after them, time for that large wolf thing me thinks”

“Alright Gabumon let’s rock!” Matt said as he held up his digivice.

“Alright!” Gabumon said as he shone with a bright light “Gabumon digivolve to Garurumon!” the large wolf appeared and turned to the group saying “Get on!” to which Matt and Basil jumped on “What about you?”

“I can fly” Discord said in response as the group charged after the two monsters “They already have a massive head start on us”

It was then that Basil jumped off “Sorry old chaps we’re being followed!” he called to a confused Matt and Discord “I’ll hold them off you go save the young maiden, Fluttershy” as the group ran ahead they heard Basil’s battle cry "Give 'em blood and vinegar!"

“Will he be okay?” Matt asked concerned for their new found friend “He does seem strong but…”

“Relax, Matt I’ve seen many fighters since we’ve met one another” Garurumon said in a gruff tone “He seems to be strong enough also he has four lucky rabbit feet”

Discord nodded “That’s a very good point!” he said as they could now see Flutterbat and Primator ahead of them “You two take Primator I’ll try and turn Fluttershy back to normal!”

Garurumon roared "Howling Blaster!" the attack surged forward and stuck the demonic monkey "Raa your one ugly flea bag!"

The adventure continues can Garurumon take on one of Zedd’s monsters, the mighty Primator and will Discord be able to turn Fluttershy back? What about the ambush? Will Twilight and the others sense the danger before it's too late?

Chapter 6

“Alright, Fluttershy lead the way” Twilight said after Fluttershy told her what had happened “So where’s Basil and the other two?” she asked as they ran, followed by their new friends “I mean wasn't he with you in the Everfree forest?”

“Oh…um?” Fluttershy stuttered the changeling trying to think of an explanation “He’s waiting for us…at the cottage and uh…” the changeling was stunned by two powerful blows from Kisuke and Jiraiya who both had sensed the lies coming from the imposter. The changeling couldn't hold their disguise and turned back “You…you’ll pay for that!” it hissed out as it tried to take off but Twilight wasn't letting it go and her magic held the changeling in place.

“What did you do to Fluttershy and the others?!” Twilight said in a dangerous tone “You better tell me!”

The changeling smirked “I’d rather not” the changeling said with a smug grin “I fear my Queen more than you!” it was then that Jiraiya stepped forward “Oh and I fear some human even less than this worthless pony!”

Jiraiya however smiled “You’re going to tell me everything I want to know. Stand back everyone” he said as he bit his thumb and slapped it on the ground next to him “Summoning Jutsu!” with that Gamabunta appeared in a puff of smoke and just short of the others “Hey Gamabunta I thought you’d like a little bug snack”

Gamabunta smirked and said “Well I was going to go get something and this thing looks tasty!” his tongue darted from his mouth and headed straight for the changeling.

“Alright alright, I’ll talk, I’ll talk” the changeling screamed seeing the massive toad’s tongue stop just short of him “She’ll be with our Queen by now! We didn’t see any others! I was going to lure you back to the shy one’s cottage where we’d ambush you!” the changeling quickly explained as it stared at the tongue that still looked ready to strike “Now please can I go?”

Jiraiya shrugged and said simply “That’s up to Gamabunta here” to which the tongue grabbed the changeling and pulled it inside the toads mouth “Well I was hoping you wouldn’t do that but I suppose you did come a long way”

Twilight however said “That wasn’t very nice” she looked at the massive toad and sighed “I didn’t know Chrysalis could control Hydras?”

Kisuke however stepped forward and said “Let’s not forget those grey guys. I think it’s far more likely that whoever sent them was the one who send the Hydra” he rubbed his chin “If the cottage was where the ambush was supposed to be, we might find answers there and maybe more”

So with that the four ponies, their three new friends and the giant toad, they headed for Fluttershy’s cottage. Keeping their eyes open for when the supposed ambush was going to take place but as they got closer they could make out a fight already in progress. Garurumon had his jaws around a large white thing and what looked like Discord was fighting both the changelings and Fluttershy?

“What’s going on?” Rainbow Dash asked as they ran forward but the body of a large rock body stopped them, the giant rock snake “What the hay?!”

“Stay back ya lot!” Applejack called as she ran up followed by Iroh “Discord send me a…flying message” pointing to a letter that was fluttering just above her head like a bird “It says, the villain called Lord Zedd, we’ve been looking for has turned Fluttershy into that Flutterbat thing and Garurumon is fighting a monster called Primator! He asked for reinforcements so here we are”

It was at that moment Garurumon was thrown over the giant snake and stopped just short of Rainbow “Raaa I’ll rip that damn monkey’s arms off!” Garurumon fumed as he got up to his paws “Twilight! Applejack! Iroh! Who are this lot!?”

“The reinforcements you asked for my dear friend” Iroh said in a calm tone as he jumped over the snake and then began to walk toward Primator “I’ll give you this one chance. Surrender or you’ll regret it”

Primator however began to laugh “You think some old man is going to stop me!” with that Primator launched a burst of lighting to which Iroh was able to deflect back at the accursed monkey “What the?!” the lighting struck the monkey and send him flying into a tree.

“Only the foolish underestimate their opponents!” Iroh said as he kicked his leg up and he threw some fire at the foolish monkey “Surrender, it would give me no joy to destroy you!”

Primator rose to his feet and said “You’ll pay for that! Behold your doom!” there was a bright flash and what stepped forward from the light send a chill through the air. Wearing green and gold “Behold the green rangers raaa!” Primator charged drawing his dagger and Iroh only just dodged the strike but Primator had brought himself into range of a bigger danger.

“Groar!” the rock snake send the monkey flying with a swish of its tail.

“Howling blaster!” Garurumon launched his attack just after the green figure hit the ground. The attack struck with fearsome power but didn’t do enough to end the accursed monkey “Damn, if only I could digivolve then we’d crush it!” Garurumon growled out as he stood next to Matt.

“Well without one of Azulongmon’s cores you can’t” Matt said in a sombre tone “If only we had another power source”

Twilight overheard the conversation “What would you need to digivolve again?” she asked as she walked up next to Matt “I can lend you some power if you need it”

“Garurumon use to able to digivolve into two more powerful forms but ever since we gave up the crest of friendship. He’s been unable to” Matt explained and then he noticed the smile on Twilight’s face “What is it?”

“I’m the princess of friendship, I think we can help everypony gather round” Twilight explained as the Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie gathered “Everypony let’s give them some help” as the ponies gathered the magic of friendship, Matt’s digivice roared to life and then they turned to Garurumon “Are you ready?”

Garurumon nodded and then the energy hit him “Garurumon warpdigivolve to Metalgarurumon!” he looked at himself “Wow I never thought I’d be back in this form!” he then noticed something, Matt was staring at him “What is it? Have I got something on my face?”

Metalgarurumon face plate had changed, rather than the light blue it was covered with something that resembled Twilight’s cutie mark “You look very different” Matt said with a big grin “You look awesome!”

Metalgarurumon smirked as he noticed Primator stood up and quickly the monkey turned himself into the blue ranger. “You’re all doomed!” the monkey screamed and charged but didn't get too far before, the end arrived.

“Metal Wolf claw!” Metalgarurumon yelled as a white stream of frozen air struck the incoming monster and Primator fell defeated. However Metalgarurumon hardly had time to celebrate, Discord was struggling to repel the changelings, while trying to convert Fluttershy back “Hang on!” the changelings didn't get much warning as the massively powerful armoured dog crushed two of them and fired his missiles “We’ll hold them back. You turn her back”

The changelings quickly found themselves in a fight, they couldn't possibly win, as well as a powerful mega digimon, there were the other fighters and the ponies that joined in the battle but then two another monsters arrived. Out of the forest, jumped a sight no pony had ever seen, a tall black monster with a white spider upon its front and a long tongue it grabbed Kisuke, they struggled for a moment before the strength of the creature send Kisuke flying against a wall but he stood before dusting himself off. Following the black creature jumped a red monster that grabbed Jiraiya and threw the toad sage.

“Hmm if I didn't know better I’d swear you were a hollow” Kisuke said with a calm smile “So what do you call yourself?”

The creature smirked before it said in a low tone “Call us, Vemon!”

Jiraiya stood on shaky legs and said “And what do you call yourself?” looking at the red creature with a stern determination.

The red creature began to laugh that send a chill down everyone’s spines “I'm called Carnage and you'll soon learn why!”

Chapter 7

Within Canterlot Princess Celestia was sitting working on official matters, a loud scream sounded just outside her throne room and then there was a loud bang. As her royal guards stationed within her throne room ran to the doors, the doors opened and a royal guard was thrown through the open doors. Standing in the doorway stood a tall woman with long brown hair; she was panting and she was facing the wrong way. She turned her face looking very concerned, she raised her arms in a guarding position and she began to back away.

Celestia stepped down from her throne and said in a stern tone “Who are you?! Why have you launched an attack against my kingdom?!” she looked at the woman with great confusion, she would be lying if she said she’d never seen a human before but it had been a long time since she’d last seen one. It was after she’d had that thought her mind switched to a different question “How did you get here?”

The woman frowned and said “I'm Sailor Jupiter and I was only fighting because your guards jumped me!” Celestia noticed Sailor Jupiter looked a bit worn out but she remained quiet “As for how I got here, I was walking home when some strange portal pulled me in and I ended up in this strange hallway looking at some strange cousin of Helios!”

Celestia tilted her head, the name Helios had been passed down in Equestria throughout legends, before Princess Luna had taken on her responsibilities as the protector of dreams, there were legends of a strange place that watched dreams but they had been cut off for longer than most could tell.

Sailor Jupiter then snapped “Where the heck am I?” she looked increasingly angry but Celestia thought the confusion of where she was, was the most likely factor for her anger.

“Your within my castle in the capitol of  Equestria the magical land of ponies” Celestia quickly explained she walked towards the woman and extended a hoof “I swear we mean you no harm, I think I know how you got here but you’ll need to come with me to Ponyville”

Sailor Jupiter looked at Celestia with a raised eyebrow but nodded and said “You know calling a town Ponyville would be like a group of humans renaming New York, Humancity” she still didn't trust these ponies but she felt better making jokes “What are we waiting for? Let’s get moving” and she did shake Celestia by the hoof and then they teleported to Twilight’s castle, this left Sailor Jupiter feeling very dizzy “What the heck did you just do?”

Celestia blushed “Opps sorry I should have given you some warning. I just teleported us to the castle within Ponyville” she said as she looked around before sighing “Looks as if Twilight isn't here”

“It’s a big place, maybe she’s somewhere else?” Jupiter suggested, she’d looked around in the large room they were in and got the impression the castle was quite large “Does she have any guards?”

“Uh…no she has, Spike” Celestia said as the door to the room opened and Spike walked in “Ah Spike where’s Twilight?”

However before Spike could answer “Jupiter Thunder Dragon!” Sailor Jupiter yelled and launched her attack at Spike but Celestia got a magical shield up around Spike before the attack struck “What the heck are you doing?! That’s a dragon!”

Celestia frowned “Spike, is a baby dragon, he has helped saved Equestria before now and he's Twilight's number one assistant! She'd be heart broken if I let you turn him into a barbecued dragon” she said in a stern tone “Sorry about that, Spike, where is Twilight?” however she noticed Spike was staring at Sailor Jupiter with a guilty look “Spike? What happened?”

Spike began looking around the room wildly, trying to avoid direct eye contact with Celestia “Um…well you see the thing is…that…Twilight and Discord opened the portal to…other worlds and it sort…of…kind of…perhaps…broke”

Celestia should have known better, she thought, put Twilight, Discord and the mirror in the same room and any could have foreseen the outcome. Mix one part Twilight’s curiosity with the unknown, two parts Discord’s mischief and blend with the mirror’s untold possibilities and the results were obvious.

“So let me guess, Twilight wanted to explore the portal’s abilities, Discord offered to help, Twilight accepted, Discord played with the portal’s settings and the frame cracked?” Celestia guessed and noticing Spike nodding she slapped her face with her hoof “I should probably have warned Twilight not to let Discord tamper with the portal last time he did it, the world in question, went through some weird changes”

Sailor Jupiter however nodded “To be fair if Amy were in Twilight’s position, she’d have done the same, this Twilight sounds just like her” Sailor

Jupiter said with a slight chuckle “Oh by the way my name’s Lita”

“I thought your name was Sailor Jupiter?” Celestia asked very confused

“Oh no, that’s my name when transformed in this costume but it makes little sense to keep my identity secret in a world I won’t be spending the rest of my life in” Lita said with a giggle “I’m a member of a team of heroes who take their powers from the planets”

“Oh that’s nice” Celestia said as her own curiosity got the best of her “So might I assume your led by someone called Sailor Earth?”

Lita couldn't help but laugh “Oh no, no, no we’re led by Sailor Moon” she said with a smile before looking at Celestia’s confused expression “Um Spike where is this Twilight?” Lita realised there was little time for talk, if she didn't get back their new enemy might attack again.

“She’s at Fluttershy’s cottage, the changelings are attacking again” Spike explained pointing to a letter fluttering above his head “Discord send a letter explaining the situation”

Celestia took the letter in her magic and reading it filled her with dread “Looks like Twilight will need some serious help!” she said with a worried look at Lita “Could you help me?”

“Sure lead the way!” Lita said as the two began to run out of the castle “So what’s a Fluttershy?”

“Fluttershy is one of Twilight’s friends and the letter said she’s been turned into Flutterbat by a villain called Lord Zedd” Celestia explained as they ran along suddenly a portal opened up in the air in front of them. A man fell from it and landed in front of them “Who are you?”

The man who was wearing a white shirt, green trousers and a green rag around his head stood. He also had three swords “AArgg what the heck are you?” he asked looking at Celestia with a frown “It’s customary to introduce yourself before asking someone their name” he said as he looked at Lita.

“I’m Princess Celesita and this Lita, also known as Sailor Jupiter. As for your first question I’m a pony more specifically an Alicorn” she explained as she paused and said “Now what’s your name?”

The man frowned as he noticed Lita’s expression and smiled “My name is Roronoa Zorro!” he said as he gave them a curt nod “Now where the heck am I?” he looked around “I get the impression, I’m in a world full of multicoloured horses? That's just weird”

“This is Equestria” Celestia said as she extended a hoof “And I’m it’s ruler”

“Then why aren’t you Queen Celestia?” Lita and Zorro asked together before they both laughed.

“We have no time for that, Twilight needs our help!” Celestia said blushing slightly, not sure herself why she didn’t call herself Queen Celestia “Look!” there was a massive explosion in the direction of Fluttershy’s cottage “We better hurray!”

Chapter 1

“Spike could you make me some tea?” Twilight asked as she looked at the mirror to Canterlot High. The mirror was an interesting prospect for Twilight, was it possible to connect to other dimensions and if so would it be possible for beings to pass into their dimension “Maybe if I…?” she began before a loud pop sounded as she turned she saw Discord “Discord!”

Discord smiled “OOO so what sort of princess business is the Princess of friendship up to?” he asked before noticing the mirror “Is that the mirror that opens once ever thirty moons? Does Celestia know you have opened it?”

“How?! How do you know about the mirror!?” Twilight asked as she looked between him and the mirror “You weren't in the Crystal empire or in the castle when I last opened the portal!”

Discord chuckled and he looked at the mirror “Well you see I created the mirror a thousand years ago, well it was more one thousand one hundred, fifty five years and seven days but one thousand years rolls off the tongue better. Anyway I created the mirror to create chaos in other dimensions, in one dimension I saw an empire collapse that was on the moon and in another I met this guy with a funny blue box!”

Twilight rolled her eyes “A guy with a blue box, a kingdom on the moon, those sound like bad comic book plots” she said looking at the mirror “So how did you control the place you wind up in?” she asked as she looked for some form of adjustment device on the mirror.

Discord snapped his fingers and the glass changed to a light orange colour “Like that. The portal uses a unique kind of portal magic” he said as yawned “Anyway I have to go” he laughed as he disappeared.

Twilight turned on the mirror before stepping back to grab a saddle bag from her room but as she was gathering supplies she heard a loud crash from the kitchen “Spike are you okay?!” she yelled in alarm “Spike!”

As she burst into the kitchen she saw Spike looking in shock at a strange intruder who looked as if they were making tea “Twilight!” Spike yelled in alarm “I tried to tell him to stop but he insisted!”

The stranger turned round and Twilight’s jaw dropped, he had a long grey beard, his face seemed friendly but worn as if he had seen much through his life. However what really startled Twilight was that he seemed to be human but different from her friends at Canterlot high. His clothes were a dark green colour with gold attachments “Who…Who are you?” she asked numbly.

“I’am but a humble tea maker” the man said as he walked over to a cupboard “Do you perchance have any jasmine or lemon-grass?” he asked in a fairly relaxed manner “I feel they’ll make the perfect cup of tea for today” Spike pointed to a cupboard "Ah thank you" as he opened the cupboard.

Twilight shook her head and asked “You’re not surprised by any of this?”

The man smiled at her “I have seen much on the long path of life. A talking magical horse isn't the strangest” he explained as he bowed “I go by my many names but the one I use is Iroh”

Twilight returned his smile “It’s nice to meet you Iroh, my name is Twilight Sparkle and this is my assistant, Spike” she said as she pointed to herself and then to Spike but there was one question that still bugged her “How did you get here?”

Iroh furrowed his brow “I was walking in Ba Sing Sae looking for a birthday present for my nephew” he explained as he poured the hot water into the mugs “Then as I was sitting against a wall, I fell backwards and wound up next to a strange mirror. It was then I could smell tea burning and came to help whoever was making the tea” he handed the mugs to Twilight and Spike who each took a polite sip “What do you think?”

Twilight smiled as the warm flavours made her feel so relaxed “I think it maybe the best cup of tea, I’ve ever had” she said as she sat on the floor as the tea helped her to relax “How did you make such a lovely cup of tea?”

Spike smiled content as the tea relaxed every muscle in his body “Ooo Mr Iroh that tea was lovely”

Iroh however sipped the tea and shook his head “No! I could have done better but your praise honours me” he said as he sat next to them “I have always enjoyed making tea” he sipped his own tea “So pardon my curiosity but are you a Unicorn or a Pegasus? I have heard legends of horses with horns and some others with wings but never both”

Spike lightly chuckled “Twilight is an Alicorn, she is the princess of friendship” he said as he took another sip of tea.

Iroh looked at Twilight with a raised eyebrow “I have heard many titles and seen many foolish enough to claim titles like that one” he said as he rubbed his chin “Why have such a title?”

Spike calmly explained “She earned her title”

Twilight however sighed unsure where to start, it wasn't as simple to say she earned her title but she had to honest, however she decided to take a page from Rainbow’s book and keep it simple “I wouldn’t have any of this without my friends, a year and a half ago I didn't have any friends. Back then I was a unicorn”

Iron smiled “Friends like that are worth more than any mere title” he said as he sipped the last of his tea “I have had many friendships throughout my life and those memories give me strength in my darkest hours”

Twilight placed a hoof on Iroh’s hand “On that we can both agree” she said with a big smile “My friends have always helped me in my darkest hours”

Iroh nodded “It seems you remind me of someone from my world. Someone who values their friendships” he said as he stood up and washed the cups “They earned my respect and fought for our world”

As the hours passed Twilight, Iroh and Spike talked about their various adventures but the time came for Iroh to return to his world but there was a problem.

“The portal has closed” Discord explained looking a bit amused “I won’t be able to open the portal to that world for thirty days” suddenly the portal surged to life and the glass changed to a black tint “The portal to another world has opened up”

Twilight looked at Discord and said “What!? We have to close it then!” suddenly Discord laughed “You can’t close it?”

“No, look!” Discord pointed to the frame of the mirror and Twilight saw that it was cracked “The portal will now open up in different locations for short periods! The only way to fix it is to find the portal and return it to the mirror!”

Spike suddenly said “We’ll only know where the portals are when there is an intruder!” suddenly realising his lack of tact “No offence” referring to Iroh.

Iroh shrugged “So where should I stay?” he asked concerned

Twilight sighed “The truth is seeing a human in this world might make ponies scared…so you’ll have to stay here” she said with sad look “I'm so sorry”

Iroh sighed “I understand”

So the adventure began to stop the chaos caused when the portal to many dimensions and worlds broke down. Who else will the ponies meet before the world’s balance is send into chaos?

Chapter 8

Discord’s spell wasn’t working after many attempts, Fluttershy was still in her Flutterbat form and it was looking less likely he’d be able to turn her back. As Discord looked at the enraged Flutterbat, he felt a tear trickle down his face, he hid it but Fluttershy’s friendship meant more to him than the very magic he was trying to use to switch her back and seeing it doing it little to change her back was very discouraging.

“Discord! Why isn’t your magic working?” Twilight called over after kicking a Changeling “We have to help those two” pointing to Kisuke and Jiraiya who were struggling with the two new enemies “What are those things?”

“Whatever they are, they’re giving Jiraiya and Kisuke a hard time!” Yoruichi said as she took down three changelings in a swift motion “They’re no end these damn things!” as soon as she kicked one another jumped at her from behind and she had no defence.

“Not so fast you bally stickers!” a voice cried out a then with a scream the changeling was send flying into a tree. When Yoruichi turned, she paused with a smile and Basil bowed low “I have to say you have quite a talent at thumping changelings with such commendable enthusiasm!”

“Basil are you alright” Twilight exclaimed as the rabbit gave a changeling a swift kick. He looked a little worn but with such a wide smile, you’d have hardly thought he’d just been through a fight of his own but his jacket was a little ripped “We thought you’d take longer than that”

Basil began to laugh slightly as he jumped before landing on a changeling’s head and said “It’ll certainly take more than some scraggy panted fools to beat me!” he flipped over and stopped beside Rarity “Oh dearie me, there just doesn’t seem to be an end to these stickers!”

Rarity looked at the tall rabbit with a smile “Oh my such a shame your waist coat is all ruined Darling” she said as her horn’s magic managed to find it’s mark “Once we take care of these changelings you must let me make you a new one”

Basil smiled at the pony “Awful kind of you but let us discuss it once we’re out of this mess?” Basil asked with a polite bow “Hmm looks as Discord might need some jolly help with Fluttershy”

Rarity nodded “It would appear so” she said in a curious tone, it should have been simple enough for Discord to turn Flutterbat back into Fluttershy but the spell seemed to be glancing off harmlessly and leaving Flutterbat increasingly angry. “Discord, why isn’t the reverse spell working?”

Discord twisted round and said “I have no idea this spell should be working, it worked when Princess Prissy did it so it should be working now!”

“Hahaha” Lord Zedd laughed as he stepped out from the forest “I cast a spell to protect her from that very spell, now since all the ponies I need for my evil spell are present, it’s time for step one of my evil plan and now Flutterbat come here!” on his command Flutterbat bowed in front of him and Zedd’s staff shone bright “From darkness that hides the greatest evil ever spawned, let my power flow, turn this pony from innocent creature to darkest evil and may the rise of a new monster be spawned from that evil. Take from Kindness and convert it to Cruelty. Take Honesty turn it to dishonesty, take loyalty turn it to the loyalty to evil, take generosity turning it to greed, take the laughter and make it laughter that laughs at the suffering of others! Finally draw from magic and grand my creation ultimate power!” as Lord Zedd spoke about the elements, Twilight and the others collapsed exhausted, having the very element drawn from them, now they were cut off from the rainbow powers and they were left more vulnerable than ever “Now turn Flutterbat into my new Nightmare Ranger!”

Flutterbat was surrounded by an evil presence that hid her from view and as the conversion took place, there came an ear splitting scream but as the presence cleared. There in the shadows stood a figure, human in shape, a Power Ranger, wearing a long dark cape, her visor shaped like the Flutterbat cutie mark but the presence she gave off was of the darkest depths. She turned to the ponies, humans and others that were gathered before saying “What are my orders my master?” she said as she removed the helmet to reveal a human that looked like Fluttershy but her eyes were a dark green colour “Call me Shadowshy !”

Lord Zedd cast another spell and gave to Shadowshy a long sword “This is the Sword of Darkness use it well” he said as he turned to the gathered enemies “Now destroy them!”

Metalgarurumon snarled as he stepped forward “You’ll pay for this!” he roared as he charged forward “I’ll crush you!”

Matt however sensed the danger “No, don’t do it!” he yelled but it was all too late. Shadowshy , jumped forward, twisting around a cold stream of air that Metalgarurumon had fired, before flying above the digimon's mid section and cut the digimon in half, the front half landing at Lord Zedd’s feet but the back half landed just short of Matt “No..no…Metalgarurumon!!” Matt stuttered as he reached a hand forward but the parts disappeared in a pop of digital energy disappearing before Matt’s eyes “NOOOO!” Matt began crying as the data from his former partner disappeared.

Lord Zedd laughed with joy “Vemon, Carnage come back let us watch the show” he said as the two jumped back to him “Hmm our first victim!” as Iroh, Jiraiya, Kisuke, Yoruichi, Discord and Basil formed a defensive circle around the exhausted ponies and the heartbroken Matt “Now Changelings, putties and Shadowshy destroy them!”

Kisuke let out a half-hearted laugh “Well if any of you have a plan now’s the time!” he said as he blocked a blow from a putty “Because if you can’t this is the end!”

Basil kicked a changeling and said “It certainly seems like this is the bally end” he kicked a putty that was approaching Rainbow Dash “Well gentlemen, it certainly has been a pleasure fighting by your side”

Jiraiya scoffed “We’re not going to die here! I have a student I need to get back to!”

Iroh nodded “My Nephew still needs my help!” he said as his fire burned a couple of enemies “I have an idea!” he pointed to Gamabunta who along with the giant rock snake were trying to keep the enemies away but weren’t doing well “What if we use him as a diversion as we get the ponies and Matt away from here! I suspect with us here he can’t use his full power”

Jiraiya nodded “Not a lot of options but that one could work!” he said as he used a jutsu to beat off a changeling “Alright Gamabunta did you catch that?!”

“Of course I did what do ya think I am stupid!” Gamabunta roared as he jumped forward and blocked the enemies from getting to the others “Now get those snots out of here!” as soon as the ponies and Matt were helped away with help from the giant rock snake, Gamabunta roared “Now you lot burn” and with that an almighty explosion ended the fight.

At Sweet Apple Acre, the battle’s loses were felt, along with Gabumon, the loss of Fluttershy was made all the worse but there was one person missing, Discord had not joined the retreat and some within their group suspected the worse not knowing the full extent of Discord’s powers. As they arrived at the farm the humans collapsed exhausted but soon they were left explaining to a very distressed Granny Smith what had happened to Applejack and the rest.

“That’s when we got them out of there!” Basil explained, he was the only one who seemed to be unaffected by exhaustion “What the bally heck happened to Discord is quite beyond me”

Suddenly Discord appeared behind him and growled “You cowards why’d you run away without Fluttershy?!” he snapped as he looked the rabbit in the eyes “We have to go rescue her!”

It was then that Matt snapped “What would that achieve?! I lost Gabumon! He’s gone! My partner is dead, just like Wizardmon!” his eyes puffy with tears “I owed my life to him, but he was more than that he was my…my…friend!” he paused and sniffed “You want us to throw away more lives! Just so that you can save one!” with that Matt ran in a flood of tears away from them into Sweet Apple acres' vast farmland.

“I..I..I didn’t mean..that…we should…” Discord began numbly

“Enough!” Jiraiya snapped his face forming a deep frown “How dare you? That boy has just lost a dear friend and you were suggesting we attack without a plan! We needed to get the ponies and that boy away from that fight. Our first priority is to save our friends, not kill our enemies!”

Twilight rose to her hooves very shakily “Flutter…shy? We..have…to help….her”

“Woah woah steady on, old girl!” Basil said as he put a paw on Twilight’s shoulder “Your in no fit state to go picking fights”

It was then that they heard the clatter of hooves and turned to see Celestia, Zorro and Lita running towards them “What the hay happened to Twilight and the others?” was all Celestia screamed in concern having seen the ponies she had watched for so long on the ground beaten and broken, made Celestia feel the sadness she hoped never to feel again but that feeling hung in the air like a bad odder. The full scale of what happened to Twilight and the others making her cry “Oh my goodness, Twilight what happened?!” as Twilight’s eyes filled with tears, Celestia reached forward and hugged Twilight, the sense of a pony she had seen grow from a filly made her sadness all the worse but she knew whatever had hurt them would attack soon.
