Even More Consequences
Chapter 01: Alternate Villains Gathering
Within a strange location of the Apocalypse Ponies, we see a strange lounge room where most of the thirteen members can either hang or speak to another freely. At this time, it was only Rainbow Chaos & Twilight Moon as they were doing their own things until….they felt something. A strange invisible magic disturbance that even a chaos magic user & a dark magic user can sense if something was out of whack.
“Yo, Twilight Moon! You felt that?” Rainbow Chaos asked this off to the mare nearby in what they both felt.
“It was an instant but indeed & it’s something that connects to ‘most’ of us in the Apocalypse Ponies. Someone has damage to the time stream.” Twilight Moon stated off to state this wisely about the matter of something that occurred that has…certain connections to those within their order.
Now with Chaos Magic, Rainbow Chaos makes a magic petal mirror that reveals scenes of what happened in the past. Events staring Starlight Glimmer’s time travel plot that changed things to even Twilight & her family stopping her.
“Well, well, look who was the problem maker?” Rainbow Chaos exclaimed in seeing what they were seeing who caused such problems.
“Starlight Glimmer….I heard she was supposed to be an enemy to the Mane Six.” Twilight Moon raised an eyebrow in knowing the name of who they are seeing from an old record.
“If that’s the idea of being enemies, I wonder how it looks to be friends.” Rainbow Chaos rolled her eyes to remark this matter.
“Show us the events of what took place before this.” Twilight Moon ordered the chaos magic user to show them what went on.
“Yeah, yeah, give my Chaos Magic sometime to work in causing a little chaotic work here.” Rainbow Chaos waved off to say this as she’s getting to that as the magic mirror portal begins to show events of….the past which include Starlight Glimmer’s plot of time travel.
“Hmmm….I see, I see.” Twilight Moon studied the scenes carefully to figure out what happened, for they saw the time travel adventure & the Time Stream event that caused a strange relapse to fix the current timeline here. “It would appear that Princess Twilight & her family have travel to alternate timelines when Starlight Glimmer was damaging the prime timeline.”
“Hugh, not bad. But then, wouldn’t WE be effective too?” Rainbow Chaos rubbed her chin to think that chaotic mess was interesting, but if time was busted, then would they have been effective too?
“Let’s not bring up such a discussion, for now…we must think about how to use this.” Twilight Moon stated to change the subject to a more important means here.
“Well then, how’s about we do something REALLY Chaotic?” Rainbow Chaos smiled off wickedly in making a special suggestion here.
“What did you have in mind?” Twilight Moon raised an eyebrow in having heard this of what the mare had in mind.
“We set loose these divergent timeline villains to see which of them can control Equestria Prime here. If those Equestrians had hard times with one tough foe, then six will be a nice surprise.” Rainbow Chaos explained what they can do by letting out the villains they can see & let them cause some havoc in Equestria here.
“Hmmm, intriguing, very well, I will use my magic with your Chaos Magic….let us hurry.” Twilight Moon thought this over before smiling a bit from thinking that idea could be useful, but they will need to work together because…it’s going to take a lot of power to do something this crazy.
That’s when both members of the Apocalypse Ponies force used their magic together in the portal mirrors, which caused much static buildup before…something disburse. The two mares skid backwards before looking onwards with tired expressions to see….five magic portal mirrors revealing something: one was Nightmare Moon & her Nightmare Guard, the second was Queen Chrysalis with her Changeling Army, third was King Sombra & his Sombra Army, the Flim-Flam Brothers & their lithesome tech-type mechanical creatures, & lastly was Tirek in his final form from obtaining all of Equestria’s magic. Six villains from five different timeline alternate worlds were now scattered in parts of Equestria.
“Aw man, that much wiped us out, & now these villains are scattered in different parts of Equestria.” Rainbow Chaos sighs off to say this in feeling themselves completely spent.
“No matter….we can still communicate with them.” Twilight Moon stated off to turn their attention to those that are looking around puzzled. “Hear me, villains!” She spoke in echoing her voice from their location to other areas of where villains are station.
From the magic mirror portals in every area of Equestria, the alternate villains began to hear someone call to them while they listen in. Of course, they could not speak back as this was an announcement, but that did not stop them from trying.
“Who dares speak to the Queen of Night?” Nightmare Moon spoke off in demanding an answer of who is speaking to them.
“I demand answers, where have I been brought?” King Sombra spoke off darkly in wanting answers here.
“Allow me to explain, you all are villains of alternate timelines, brought forth into the Prime timeline of Equestria.” Twilight Moon’s voice explained the matter for those that have arrived in a strange new place.
“The Prime timeline of Equestria?” Queen Chrysalis raised an eyebrow as she & her Changelings look to another.
“You heard us, it’s all yours to do as you please!” Rainbow Chaos’s voice spoke this off in handing this world out to the bunch.
“Oh my, a new world to unleash my chaos, how delightful!” Discord smiled off wickedly to rub his hands in liking that idea very much.
“However, this world may come with it’s challenges you are not familiar with as there are heroes that defeated this world’s counterparts of you.” Twilight Moon explained that there is a complication of stopping that which will keep the villains from ruling this Equestria like the others.
“Really now, perhaps I can have a moment to entertain myself while destroying everything in sight….before I obtain MORE power than before.” Tirek smiled off in thinking this could be interesting for hi mot get involved in to be amuse.
“Yeah, so it’s a competition, first ones to score & win gets to do whatever they like.” Rainbow Chaos issued off to simply say this in what the bunch can do.
“A competition of who gets to be in charge, hugh?” Flim spoke off in rubbing his chin to this little invite.
“Then it’s a good thing we’re into the productive business.” Flam smirk off to say this in liking how they can get into the action.
With that much heard, many of the alternate villains began to move out o their own or lead their own evil army in preparing to see….who gets to conquer & rule all of Equestria. The magical portal mirrors vanished with the two Apocalypse Ponies seeing their act was done.
“Okay Rainbow Chaos, the plan is in motion. Now we shall see how the heroes of Equestria can handle this.” Twilight Moon stated to say this in seeing that with so many enemies running lose, even the Mane Six will have their hooves full.
“And now, to kick back & enjoy the mayhem about to be seen. I’m so gonna love this.” Rainbow Chaos smiled off to say this in lying back to get ready to enjoy what gets brought.
With an evil plot in motion, the entire scene begins to fade out as no one knows what will happen, when not one, not two, but almost FIVE Forces from alternate timeline foes start to go off to claim Equestria…as their own.
The scene slowly begins to make its way through a progress of what’s going on within Rainbow Castle. For we see the Mane Six, Ben, Nyx, Spike & Phobos are gathered around the Council of Friendship, preparing to discuss some things. But also joining them about a matter is, a former foe turn friend, Starlight Glimmer. Right now, the mare seem a bit nervous in joining the others here as a spectator of what will be happening of the Princess of Friendship, along with her prince & Councilmen about to have some chat over some subjects concerning Equestria.
“Well Starlight Glimmer, how are you doing?” Twilight asked off in seeing if Starlight was doing okay.
“Um, okay….” Starlight Glimmer lightly responded off to say this with a little small reply while being nervous.
“Really, you don’t seem that way. Oh, not that I’m judging.” Fluttershy meekly spoke off to say this while correcting herself in what she might be doing is being nosy.
“It’s just, it’s only been about a day or so since…well…” Starlight Glimmer was about to say something about this until…
“You’re whole trying to change Equestria by trying to change the fabric of time’s course which has lead to different disasters around every turn?” Pinkie Pie cuts in to randomly start saying these things that when she’s done, left everyone staring at the random pink pony that pretty much said a little too much.
“Yeah….something like that.” Starlight Glimmer slowly rolled her eyes to sigh in knowing, she still has that bad strew-credit going for her.
“Well whatever the case, what’s pass is pass.” Ben smiled off to cheer Starlight Glimmer up a bit.
“It is?” Phobos raised an eyebrow before he was hit in the gut just now.
“So then Twilight, what is it that we’ll be discussing today?” Spike asked doff in being interested about something here.
“Well, I figure we can go over the values of friendship, how working with a team of friends can help one accomplish much feats than on their own.” Twilight explained off the claim of what it was that they are gonna be going over today involving a friendship case.
“Neat-o! That sounds exciting & educational!” Nyx replied off with a cheer in liking the sounds of what they will be talking about.
“Ready to see how we work Starlight?” Twilight asked the new friend if she’s ready to join them on what they are starting.
“Well, I’m gonna do my best to follow along.” Starlight lightly shrug off to say this with an honest option.
“That’s the spirit.” Spike cheered for the mare to give something a try.
“And a not to terrible one too. Ow!” Phobos rolled his eyes to remark such a matter of a former evil mare before getting whacked on the head by Spike.
“Oh Phobos.” Nyx rolled her eyes in seeing this action, her pet pal has a hard time keeping track of things.
“Okay, first topic is…” Twilight was starting off to say something in how they were gonna begin things when…
Just then, something happened that caused the whole castle to shake as everyone lost their balance. Why, because there're loud noises of explosions, quakes, flashes of lightning, strange dark gemstones thrown & smashed through the glass stain windows, & yep, that pretty much adds up to one thing; unexpected crisis alert.
“Woah, did everyone feel that?” Rainbow Dash yelps in having felt something weird just happened all of a sudden.
“Sounded like a whole lotta noises from here ta….about everywhere.” Applejack replied off in what the action was sounded like it came from more than one place of a direction.
“Something must be happening in Equestria!” Rarity exclaimed with concern worry in not liking the sounds of this.
“It is much worse than that, my little ponies.” Then magically teleporting into the room was the Royal Sisters Celestia & Luna, who both showed expressions of concern & worry.
“Mom? Aunt Luna? What do you mean?” Ben yelps in seeing his mom & aunt here, but are talking about something terrible.
“The most unknown act has happened, King Sombra has return & is attacking Canterlot…..with an army!” Luna exclaimed to say this of Canterlot is under siege by an enemy they did not expect to encounter again.
“WHAT!” The group yelps in having heard this, did they say…King Sombra, is attacking?
“Oh great! Now someone turn the guy over to the DARK side!” Phobos groans to slap his forehead in having heard this out of the blue.
“What are you talking about, I’m not gone over to any side but where you are.” Spoke a voice that entering the scene was Sombra, followed by Autumn Gem, Jack Zen, Goldie, Omega & Fila; Pinkamena was running a little late do to something else at this time…
“Wait, if your here, then who’s the Sombra attacking?” Spike yelps in seeing if the Sombra from Goldie’s group isn’t the one being bad, then who is?
“Okay, correction, it’s that OTHER Sombra guy, you know, the one we label as Umbrem!” Phobos corrected himself in stating that the Sombra attacking, must likely be the second guy that is related being like a second version with a different name.
“Phobos, Umbrem left with Radiant Hope & he was changed to be good.” Nyx reminded her pet pal about that pony was with the one they love & is no longer evil.
“Well hey, how many Sombra types are there? Or did we miss a THIRD one in the math?” Phobos shrug off to say this in not knowing how many other Sombra guys there are that are turn good from a life of evil, etc.
“Um, I’m a little lost about there being two Sombra ponies, what exactly happened?” Starlight Glimmer asked off in not catching up about the discussion going on here that even makes her question some logic.
“Well, it’s like this. In the past, there was a force called the Umbrum, which they destroyed everything in the Crystal Empire long ago before they were stopped. They created something that would be like them, but with pony form, that something was Sombra. He befriended a pony name Radiant Hope, but every time the Crystal Fair happened, it was making him feel terrible, sick & awful. But we later learn that some essence of the darkness leaked out from him which slowly over time, form into a new Sombra with a different appearance, different memories & a red gem cutie mark who later became friends with another Crystal Pony citizen, Autumn Gem.” Twilight explained the case for Starlight Glimmer to understand since it’s a very complicated thought of not getting the two with the same name mix up a lot.
“Wait, so there were TWO ponies named Sombra?” Starlight asked off in being surprised to hear this piece of news.
“Yes, but when the other Sombra with Autumn Gem were tricked by someone to use a spell that separated the darkness of that one’s Umbrum side, he had to fight it before in a final clash, fell in an ice lake where the evil side merge with him. He said he was a shadow of the original & went to remerge with the true Sombra.” Twilight explained off this other portion of history of how there were two Sombra ponies.
“Okay, so then…what about after you defeated him?” Starlight asked in being puzzled in what happened afterwards.
“Well Pinkamena collected the evil essence of the guy which she explained before firing away what turns out was….actually the part of the original Sombra, she only got the shadow. But, she did help him be good to which surprising as it seems, he had developed feelings for Autumn Gem. And, you know that we helped spoke to the original Sombra, turn him into a pony & thus help him be united with Radiant Hope.” Twilight explained the last stuff of what happened that during a moment Pinkamena tried to turn the evil King Sombra to good, she split off only one of two that were both separate identities.
“But how can you tell the two apart?” Starlight raised an eyebrow in pondering this question of separating the Sombra that lives in Ponyville to the one with Radiant Hope?
“Well, he can be referred as Sombra, but he prefers to be called by a new name, Umbrem.” Twilight stated off in mentioning this to the mare.
“Umbrem?” Starlight Glimmer raised an eyebrow in hearing the Sombra with Radiant Hope is called; Umbrem.
“It’s what we call him than just Sombra II.” Pinkie Pie smiled off to randomly say this without a second thought on the matter.
“So then who is attacking Canterlot if it’s not either of them, some new villain calling himself King Sombra?” Ben raised an eyebrow in being puzzled in what was even going on with this weird case.
“Wait, there’s an attack on Canterlot? We were just coming to report of another attack!” Entering the area was Bon-Bon & Lyra with the former having stated off to say this in having heard was an attack when what they got is just as bad.
“Where?” Twilight asked off in pondering what else was happening at this time.
“The Flim-Flam Brothers are taking over Sweet Apple Acres, worse, the Apples can’t stop their plowing for productive setup because they have the deed to the farm.” Lyra pointed out the case of what was going on that some other foes are trying to take over the Apples Farm.
“A DEED?! But my family ain’t never sign no papers in selling’ our farm! This here’s gotta be a mistake!” Applejack protest to say this in not believing that her family would sell their farm, especially to a couple of con-ponies.
“That’s not all, Changelings are attacking Cloudsdale while trying to feed on the love.” Then entering the mix to show up before the group, Derpy flew in as she issued off to say this about more bad news on the way.
“Queen Chrysalis is acting up now?” Nyx asked off surprised to hear this of enemies that they thought were still in hiding,
“Yes & it seems they are in a hurry to get strong too. But three attacks are very suspicious here.” Time Turner stated off to appear on the scene as well with feeling these attacks, some are being more fierce in their approach than others.
“Three attacks?” Then having appeared by teleportation was Sunset Shimmer & Flash Sentry who the latter overheard what was happening.
“Flash, Sunset, what are you doing here?” Ben replied doff surprised in seeing these ponies here so suddenly.
“We just came to tell you something we witness that I had to teleport us here.” Sunset issued off to say this as it was something very urgent.
“Get a load of this, someone has turn Appaloosa into a GIANT Jello mix orange soda desert! And witnesses say they saw Discord do it!” Flash spoke off to say that someone has gone & turn the desert cow pony town into a place of a dessert theme by someone that likes to pull such whacky acts.
“Discord?” The group responded off puzzled, why would their chaos magic wielding friend suddenly do something like that without warning?
“But that can’t be, Discord won’t do that….um, without a reason.” Fluttershy spoke off in stating this in defense for Discord of such news. “Also, he sent me this air-mail saying he was having fun with Smooze in Chaos-ville’s goof tournament.” She showed everyone something that was a weird letter glowing.
“Dear Fluttershy, Smooze-Face & me are partaking in a Golf Tournament, we’ll be busy for a while. Just send me a reply & I’ll try to get back to you.” Discord’s magic letter spoke off
“Well that was weird.” Starlight Glimmer replied off in never seeing a trick performance made by Discord before…until now.
“So if it’s not the reformed Discord, then could it be his evil version, Discord II, AKA Chaotix?” Rainbow Dash questioned off in thinking that the real villain behind the chaotic magic is Discord’s split evil version at work.
“Well he’s a likely suspect.” Spike pointed off in thinking that is about as more logical than one thinks.
“Unfortunately, the weirdness continues, reports came in from other Royal Guards stating that an attack on Manehattan is having problems with some army being led by, get this…Nightmare Moon!” Flash Sentry issued off to say this in what other problems there is as another villain leading an army was approaching with the revealing of who it was.
“Nightmare Moon!?” Everyone in the room yelped in having heard this before many eyes looked to Princess Luna & Nyx, who once had connections to that name.
“But how can this be, neither I nor Nyx are turn evil?” Luna asked off in disbelief that there can’t be ANOTHER Nightmare Moon, could there be?
“What about when those Nightmare Dreamscape creatures; the Nightmare Force plotted to turn any of us into Nightmare Moon, it was not a very pretty sight.” Rarity shivered from the thought, it was terrifying to imagine.
“It would appear someone is trying to bring the past of defeated foes into the light.” Celestia stated off in what this situation was slowly turning into, villains of the past are returning.
“Well except the Flim-Flam Brothers, they are more…Minor Villains than Major ones.” Phobos shrug off to say this in knowing only King Sombra, Discord, & Nightmare Moon are more major than the con-artist Flim-Flam Brothers.
“There is more happening than you can believe, for within the Everfree Forest, an old enemy you will meet…” Then entering the scene through the doors came Zecora as she spoke in rhyme. “I have come to warn you now, that Tirek is free & is coming our way in a form of last you face.” Zecora issued off to say this rhyme with terrible news as far & wide.
That left many in the room to become silent, for they recall what Tirek did in stealing all of Equestria’s magic to become powerful. But if what Zecora says is true, even if they all still have their magic, Tirek is in his final form & is reeking havoc.
“Great, like three & an half villains weren’t hard enough!” Phobos slapped his forehead in feeling this was getting too much.
“Where do you think they came from?” Spike asked off in where all these villains of the past even came from if most of them that were dealt with shouldn’t be causing trouble no more.
“I got the answer to that one!” Then entering the room was none other than Pinkamena as she apparently had something to say from sensing the tension of worry in the air from a Pinkie Sense. “Since we know Nightmare Moon isn’t Nyx, Discord is out & the guy being him isn’t keeping his appearance as Chaotix, & that it isn’t any Sombra we know, plus the fact that Tirek is in his final form without taking anyone’s magic, these guys plus Chrysalis are more likely….Alternate Timeline Villains!” Pinkamena was randomly stating off something in which when one eliminates the impossible, whatever is left that makes sense, is a possibility.
Everyone was left utterly speechless in having heard this, as they were not sure if that was even possible, but….someone did.
“Wait, maybe she’s on to something with that random claim.” Starlight Glimmer spoke up in having thought that maybe Pinkamena’s crazy idea isn’t as crazy as they think. “Remember when those alternate timeline villains were attacking us in the Time Realm?” She spoke to Twilight in recalling those old encounters which happened when someone used a powerful force to bring such evil all together even from different & alternate timelines.
“Your right, Grimmore used his powers to draw them from their timelines to be brought forth! So then someone else must have done the same thing!” Twilight exclaimed to say this in realizing something, that whoever did this was the cause of unleashing alternate villains in Equestria Prime.
“Well, at least it’s not the other villains we saw, they’re…just the ones we managed to beat along our time in Ponyville.” Spike slowly stated in seeing that at least the handpick choice of foes are only the ones they did defeat & not the really hard ones.
“But still, alternate villains from different timelines gathered here. Every type of foe we’ve come across to face are attacking in separate spots in Equestria. We can’t focus on one without scarfing the other four.” Twilight was thinking this over in knowing how very bad the situation is with five separate evil acts from alternate villains; how’s one supposed to handle that much.
This was a tough dilemma to try to figure out a solution to. In the past, facing one villain & an army was one thing, sometimes trying to clash against two tough villains to defeat, but FIVE attacks with some tough odds seems hard to handle the package tha
“Okay everyone, I think I have a solution.” Twilight spoke up in having something on her thought in coming to a firm decision of such a difficult case. “This isn't going to be easy, but we're going to have to split up into smaller teams to take on these villains.” She issued in seeing what they will have to do, take on the foes, in smaller groups.
“Wait, are you sure?” Phobos yelps in thinking that sort of thing could be dangerous.
“I know that four out of five of these villains are strong, & that usually when me & my friends & my family are tougher, we could handle one of them at a time, but this time calls for a different approach. We each need to decide who we’ll go after that we stand a better chance against.” Twilight explained this out that usually the Mane Six could try to handle one tough approach, but not in five different areas; however, the words she spoke still made everyone understand what she’s getting at. “I’ll go with handling the alternate Chrysalis & the Changelings attacking Cloudsdale.” Twilight stated in who she will try to face off first on her own accord.
“And, as a friend, I would be very lax if I didn't stick with you to the end & have your back.” Zecora spoke in rhyme to say this in offering her own service to aid.
“Thank you Zecora & anyone else?” Twilight asked off in who else would help out here.
“If this is a plan you believe will help us, I have no doubt about it Twilight. If so, then I will handle the alternate Nightmare Moon.” Celestia spoke forth to say this in offering to also aid by facing down Nightmare Moon.
“You mean, you'll handle the alternate Nightmare Moon with MY help, right?” Luna stood up to say this in front of her sister.
“Luna?” Celestia looked to Luna in having heard who else would come.
“I was prey to her evil & from what I’ve done, so I will not repeat the mistake of when I last fought against her alone.” Luna issued off to say this with such stern focus until she did a second thought about her words & of who is here. “No offense, Nyx.” She apologizes to the black filly in recalling the incident of where she lost when Nyx became the full form of Nightmare Moon.
“None taken.” Nyx waved off to say its okay as she knows it’s a simple mistake.
“I'll handle the other me.” Then popping from out of nowhere, was Discord, much to everyone’s surprise that he came in unannounced. “Oh come now, I felt a strange chaotic feeling, you didn’t expect me to miss out, did you?” Discord stated off to say this in having heard much of what’s going on.
“And I'll help you deal with the other you, Discord.” Fluttershy smiled off to offer her own aid to a friend.
“And I'll help the BOTH of you deal with the other Discord.” Pinkie Pie issued to say this in wanting to join Fluttershy’s team.
“Well hey, I’ll go after the other Sombra. After all, I helped in the first case he tried to take over the Crystal Empire.” Spike smiled off to say this in knowing what he’ll do to help out.
“And I'll help you too, Spike. Just in case….” Ben patted Spike’s back in saying he’ll also tag along, to make sure Spike will be okay.
“You & Spike can count on me too, Daddy.” Nyx smiled off to say this in knowing she’ll come along too.
“Then I got the Flim-Flam Brothers. Ain’t nobody messing’ with my family’s farm!” Applejack offered in getting personal about the topic here.
“And I'll have your back, AJ.” Rainbow Dash eagerly spoke in stating this little issue.
“I would be quite remiss as a friend if I didn't help you two.” Rarity stated to say this in wanting to also partake too.
“Then I guess that leaves who’s taking on Tirek while more of us are deciding on who’s gonna join which group.” Pinkamena stated to say in who among them will be left to help the others or those to face Tirek.
“I’ll help you against the alternate Tirek.” Bon-Bon offered off to say this, much to many that were surprised.
“You can count on me too.” Lyra held up her hoof to say that she will join too.
“Are you sure, Twilight may have the power of three Alicorns’ magic & much from his alternate timeline?” Twilight asked off, this challenge might be too big for average pony bunch to handle alone.
“Allow me to offer to help. I probably can't beat Tirek, but I CAN at least try to keep him busy long enough for all of you to get done dealing with the others.” Starlight Glimmer offered this off to Twilight & the rest of hoping to stall Tirek with the rest to help the group catch up to help after they handle the others.
“Your odds of keeping him busy that long will double if I help you.” Sunset offered to aid Starlight in knowing more magic users can help out.
“Make that TRIPLE if I help both of you.” Flash stated to say this in wanting a piece of the action too.
“Make that a quadruple if you add in my added help.” Time Turner instead this which Derpy clapped her hooves to smile & wave up in also offering to help.
“I’ll help you as well.” Bon-Bon stated to help Starlight Glimmer in this case.
“As will I.” Lyra smiled to say forth in also agreeing too.
“Room for one more?” Then teleporting into the room while flapping his wings to fly in was another ally friend the group know about, Azuma, the Clone Army Creator & wielder to the Element of Replication.
“Azuma? What are you doing here?” Twilight exclaimed in surprise to see who else has showed up.
“I teleported here from my tribe’s area from the Badlands, sensing what is happening. Allow me to aid those in slowing down Tirek.” Azuma spoke forth in having felt what was going on as he wants to help offer those in need of aid.
“Well, you’re a trusty guy & something tells us that having a pony that’s a one stallion army isn’t too bad an idea.” Ben smiled off that the more the merrier they can be in the going gets tough routine.
“Thank you, I will help out as much as possible. And if it gets grim, then I will use a secret weapon I’ve developed.” Azuma issued off to say this in wishing to aid the others, including with a developed ability.
“Azuma, do you mean you mastered it?” Celestia gasped lightly as she & Luna were also somewhat surprised while everyone else seem clueless.
“I have, but there is no time to explain, we must hurry.” Azuma issued forth that there will be time for talk after they set off; time is ticking & they are needed.
There wasn’t a single delay to be made as everyone was rushing off to their respective locations by magic or flight travels. Pinkamena had also rally up some members of her group that would go off to help out that also join separate teams. Heading to Canterlot to deal with Alternate King Sombra & his army were Spike, Nyx, Phobos, & Ben follow by the good Sombra & Autumn Gem. Heading to Cloudsdale to deal with Alternate Queen Chrysalis & her Changeling Army were Twilight & Zecora, followed by Omega & Pinkamena. Heading to Appleloosa to deal with Alternate Discord were Discord, Fluttershy & Pinkie Pie. Heading to Manehattan to deal with Alternate Nightmare Moon & her Nightmare Guard were Celestia & Luna followed by Golden Heart. Heading to Sweet Apple Acres to deal with Alternate Flim-Flam Brothers were Applejack, Rainbow Dash & Rarity followed by Fila & Jack Zen. And lastly heading off to the Everfree Forest to deal with Tirek were Bon-Bon, Lyra, Time Turner, Derpy, Sunset. Flash, Starlight Glimmer & Azuma. As the scene begins to fad out, a split screen showing images of the teams about to go into action enfacing the alternate villains, who’s gonna win & who’s gonna fall, that remains to be seen…next time.
Author's Note
This chapter is made. Next up, the split teams take on one opposing foe in stopping their evil where it stands. Who will stop one of the alternate villains? Be Alternate Nightmare Moon? Be it Alternate Discord? The Alternate Flim-Flam Brothers? The Alternate King Sombra? The Alternate Queen Chrysalis? Even the Alternate Tirek? The suspense is too hard to judge right away? But judging from how hard one foe was for another, well….let’s just wait to see how it all goes? So stay tune to find out…
Chapter 02: Vs. The Alternative Villains!
Chapter 02: VS. The Alternate Villains!
The scene begins to take us towards what was happening in Manehattan. Wasn’t long before Celestia, Luna & Golden Heart arrived by flying within the area, to witness what was happening. Darkness was spreading to turn a pleasant city into a neon-style city of the night, with many of the citizens running in terror of scary forces of Nightmare Moon terrorizing them. And the three Alicorns turn upon seeing who was responsible for doing as she sat in what was a central location of the city to be made into a night-theme throne: Nightmare Moon!
“Well, well, what do we have here?” Nightmare Moon rolled her eyes to remotely say this in staring at those that have arrived. “My dear sister of this alternate world’s timeline. And…my old good self.” She remotely stated off in addressing those here that were the same good ponies with some different of who was who…
“I wish you refrain from addressing us in such things!” Luna sternly spoke off to the one that dares talk to them in such a manner.
“Easy Luna, she’s trying to get under our furs.” Goldie held up a hot to stop Luna from being suckered into a trap by the foe.
“Hmm…ah, Golden Heart, I remember how you tried to save my world’s timeline, only to fail in the end.” Nightmare Moon smiled off to say this towards the gold stallion that was also here.
“What?” Goldie yelped in having heard this news about his other alternate self of what happened to him from an alternate timeline.
“You will not be trying to deceive us with your words.” Celestia sternly spoke forth towards this foe in what she was trying to do.
"Then you shall prepare yourselves, for when you fight against the Queen of the Night….” Nightmare Moon slowly spoke forth in having an evil smirk across her cheek.
Suddenly, many hoof steps are heard from around parts of the city while flapping wings are heard & strange shadowy blob things form around; evil versions of the Royal Guard & Wonderbolts: Nightmare Guard & Shadowbolts are gathered followed by the Nightmare Creatures of the moon now become the Dark Force.
“You fight the rest of the Nightmare Guard & Shadowbolts as well. And as an added plus, my Dark Force of corrupted Nightmare Creatures. Buh-Hah-Hah-Hah, haha….” Nightmare Moon issued off to say this with a fiendish smirk across her face before letting off a magical laughter.
“Okay….should have probably seen this coming.” Goldie stated off to say this in looking around to see how terrible this all is.
“Are thou regretting thy coming here?” Luna looked to the golden stallion in asking if he regrets his choice to join the Royal Sisters.
“No, last time, I wasn’t there to help Celestia save you, but I will help stop the evil of Nightmare Moon!” Goldie issued off to say this with a focus expression to not back down when his friends need his help.
“I wish there was another way, she is an alternate Luna who is under the control of Nightmare Moon’s evil.” Celestia stated to say this with second thoughts that this enemy was just a poor Alternate Luna who suffered the same fate as her own sister of this world.
“I know what you mean, but if we don’t focus, then she’ll try to take over. Twilight’s counting on us.” Goldie stated to say this that Twilight is counting on them to stop this foe without doubt clouding their judgement.
“We must do battle, sister!” Luna issued forth to say this in what they need to do now.
“Indeed, we shall…” Celestia nods forth in agreeing with Luna’s thought, as they prepare themselves.
“Nightmare Guard & Dark Force….ATTACK!” Nightmare Moon gave out her orders for all of her forces to begin their attack; now…
Luna comment, "This is going to be quite therapeutic."
Then from many battle cries of Nightmare Moon’s forces all attacking at once, the Royal Sisters & Golden Heart prepare themselves for a tough battle of where it’s quality or quantity. The scene fads out from where this battle was gonna be a bit sentence for the most part for now…
Elsewhere at this time, the scene opens to Appleloosa, where Alternate Discord was reeking havoc; he was lying in a floating hammock, relaxing while drinking a chocolate milk glass; only with the glass part slipping away while the chocolate milk remain firm before he toss it which exploded nearby. The guy was just living it up on the dessert theme chaos as the Earth ponies & buffalo tribe tried to move, but the ground was too…sticky.
“Ah, nothing like stirring up some chaos in the neighborhood to get the day started.” Alternate Discord sighs off in relaxing from what he’s got planned here.
Arriving on the scene now was Fluttershy & Pinkie Pie in having made it to see what chaotic means has happened here.
“Wow! This looks like dessert paradise!” Pinkie Pie stated off in noticing how much everything was like a dessert theme place.
“Well, it does look very nice, but…shouldn’t it be all…um, normal?” Fluttershy meekly spoke off in looking at this place, but also spoke her own thoughts on the case.
“Oh, right? Hey! Alternate Discord!” Pinkie Pie snapped herself in realizing this before getting the enemy’s attention.
At that moment, Alternate Discord teleported near the group in looking down at the two ponies that were staring at him with such stern faces.
“Well, well….are you supposed to be the GREAT Heroes of Equestria?” Alternate Discord remarked off to say this in crossing his arms in not expecting such heroes to show up.
“Um, yes?” Fluttershy meekly replied off to say this.
“You bet’cha we are!” Pinkie Pie issued off to say without any doubt.
“Oh dear, I’m so sorry, I had no idea who I was messing with. Please forgive me while I turn everything back the way it was!” Alternate Discord quivered in fear while stating that he should give up & make everything nice again.
“Really?” Fluttershy asked off sweetly in thinking that wasn’t so hard to get this guy to give in, but…
“NO! Uh-Hah-Hah-Hah….” Alternate Discord shouted this off before falling on his backside in midair to laugh at the ponies’ expense shock.
“Hey Meany! That wasn’t nice!” Pinkie Pie snapped off to say this in what the guy just did there.
“Oh, & what are you gonna do about it?” Alternate Discord rolled his eyes to say in pondering what the group here will do to stop him.
“Not them, but me.” Then someone appeared like a zipping across the sky in a superhero getup, & it was….Discord wearing a mask & cape. Don’t ask why. “Hello, & welcome to Equestria Prime, Alternate Me!” Discord issued forth in a heroic pose to be dramatic.
“Oh, are you supposed to be me…in THAT getup?” Alternate Discord rolled his eyes to say this in looking at the Discord of this world while he wore such a goofy getup.
“It’s called distant differences, between you who are evil & I who am reformed!” Discord proclaim forth in stating what he’s going for here.
“Reform, you? Hah! What sort of spell made you give up all of THIS Chaos?” Alternate Discord exclaimed forth to laugh at such a thing of what power could turn a chaotic creature into a goody-two-shoe.
“It wasn’t a spell, I helped our Discord learn something he was missing….& it was….” Fluttershy stated off in mentioning what she did to help Discord be nicer until…
“Spare me your speech, for unless you can stop me, then I’m afraid you’re out of luck.” Alternate Discord held up a lion’s paw in stating that he doesn’t care & that unless the group can stop him, they are out of luck.
“What’s wrong, scared to face us since WE got a Discord here too?” Pinkie Pie smiled off to taunt the villain here about having the upper hand on their side.
“So, that’s how you want to play it, think your tough? Fine then! I challenge you.” Alternate Discord exclaimed to say in watching this bunch before announcing to challenge them.
“No! We challenge you!” Pinkie Pie protest forth in stating this with a forward declaring face.
“Well I challenge your challenge!” Alternate Discord exclaimed off to say this to the pesky pony.
“And we challenge your challenge….” Pinkie Pie started off to say this in getting somewhere. “On our challenge….With a challenge!” She was a bit puzzled in show to address the challenge over another before fixing it in a goofy way.
“Um, should we begin?” Fluttershy asked off in wondering if they should start now.
There was no answer for that, before off screen, there was much explosive work that was heard around, as well as sonic scream noises & pin hair missiles & even…..inflatable swans. Okay, the weirdness got a lot more weirder by the second!
The alternate Discord comment, "Hmm. Fascinating." The villain briefly change into Mister Spock before changing back to - well normal for HIM, "Another version of myself PLUS a pony who is nearly as random as me and a pony who, despite an outwardly timid nature, appears surprisingly strong willed. It's been entirely too long since I've had a REAL challenge. This is going to be more fun than usual."
But in any event, Fluttershy & Pinkie Pie were down to the ground as they watch their Discord watch out for some weird chaotic lightning volts zipping across the skies. No doubt done by Alternate Discord trying to make a flashy show in making the other Discord dress like some hero evade his attacks.
“Oh my, no matter how much pain we give, he keeps going.” Discord stating in seeing what was happening as this does not bold so well while he aways chaotic lightning bolts. “I’ll keep him back, please think of something.” He stated in trying to dodge the many attacks the alternate evil version of himself is doing.
“We need a plan to catch Alternate Discord off guard! And I think I have one!” Pinkie Pie stated off to say this in having thought up something.
“What is it?” Fluttershy asked off in being curious.
“Well, you’re not gonna like this, but…” Pinkie Pie stated off to say this before the pink pony was whispering the plan to her friend. “So, you gonna be okay?” She asked in how Fluttershy will handle such a task.
“Oh dear, I didn’t think we have to resort to that!” Fluttershy replied off stump in having heard this to be left surprised.
“Give up, weak me, you’re out done! I have no weaknesses!” Alternate Discord announced forth in making the other Discord dodge his chaotic lightning like no tomorrow.
“Um, do you?” Fluttershy spoke up to flap near Alternate Discord to boldly ask the question.
“Of course I don’t! I removed all my weaknesses!” Alternate Discord remotely stated this off that he HAS no weakness.
“I bet you’re lying, just to make yourself be tough.” Fluttershy made a stern face to argue this over with this other Discord.
“Oh, well then allow me to show you.” Alternate Discord protest to prove his point across; from a snap of the hand, a weird device with a red button label ‘DO NOT PUSH’ was on it. “Fools say they can remove feeling pain, well this here is a pain receiver. All the pain you inflicted is transfer here & I don’t feel a thing. Been using it for a 1000 years.” He explained how he’s been making himself not feel any pain over the last long amount of years.
“Wait a second, isn't that the type that if you store away all the pain you felt up till now if it’s release all at once.” Discord asked off in thinking of what happens if the one that did’ wanna feel pain, suddenly didn’t feel a little of it, then when he feels all that stored pain…
“Well that would be bad, but too bad that won’t happen.” Alternate Discord shrug off to say tis while preparing to snap his device away until…
“Not unless we catch you by SURPRISE!” Pinkie Pie was heard from stopping the enemy with a little surprise action.
Then without warning, a cannon was fired from a distance as Pinkie Pie launch herself in the air, then snatch the device from Alternate Discord to land on the other side while showing a sly smirk in waving a familiar device to the guy.
“Oh poo…” Alternate Discord lightly points with wide eyes in realizing where this will lead to.
“Beep!” Pinkie Pie pressed the button on Alternate Discord’s device, & then….
“Trrriizizizivhmmm…Kaboomfruvhmmm!” Then without warning, surges of magical energy was forming around Alternate Discord before it flash too brightly that it exploded. “GYAAAAHAAA-HAAAA-Waaaaahhhhh!” Now Alternate Discord was heard screaming from within that bright explosion, before he fell downwards from where he had daze eyes to be out cold & beaten. Discord & Fluttershy turn to Pinkie Pie in surprise, the pink pony had such a clever plan to let the enemy expose a weakness without knowing what was going on, since of course, Alternate Discord was still the same goofy opponent to be fooled when done right. But just then, a bright flash of light happened in the direction of Manehattan, & once that light went down, that was when Pinkie Pie felt her Pinkie Sense to know…what was coming their way.
“Uh oh! Something’s heading our way!” Pinkie Pie yelps in seeing something black & blurry is about to come directly at them.
“Gyaaaahhh…/Powwfruvhmmm…” A female voice was heard before crashing into the ground before everyone; as the dust clears, it was…the defeated form of the Alternate Nightmare Moon!
“Nightmare Moon!” Fluttershy yelps in seeing who it was here.
“Then that means…” Discord was about to say something, but never finished….
Then teleporting around now in a flash that surprised everyone was Celestia, Luna & Golden Heart as they drop to their knees while looking mostly exhausted.
“Celly, Luna, Golden Heart, so good of your to join us as we have defeated, well….my other self!” Discord replied off happily to say this, while being a bit puzzled in how to address such a thing.
“And it looks like you beat nightmare Moon too, how did you do it?” Pinkie Pie stated to say while being curious how three Alicorns took down one enemy.
“Well, it was not easy, the problem was stopping all of those ponies that swore loyalty to Nightmare Moon & stopping the Nightmare Creatures she had corrupted.” Luna stated off to explain things as to what happened that they were trying to confront.
“There was a powerful spell that we had to prepare that would be strong enough to get them all. Golden Heart provided the shield while we took the time to cast it.” Celestia explained the task of what they were doing that took some time & patience to perform.
“I was amazed you could perform that spell, but maybe it needs a little more work. After all, trying a Forbidden Spell type isn’t easy if you haven’t used it much!” Goldie exclaimed to say this in having a feeling that what the Royal Sisters did, really surprised them all, including him.
“Wow; that will be something to someday see.” Pinkie Pie smiled off to say this in thinking when they get a chance, maybe they’ll learn what spell the Royal Sisters used that took out a whole army & Nightmare Moon in a single blow. “Maybe when you’re fighting a flaming pony opponent in the future.” She made a happy smile while having broken the fourth wall to say this random subject that left everyone baffled.
“Attention, I can sense the other battles, it looks like the others are getting started.” Discord stated off to say this in having sense something of how the others are currently about to begin their own battles of the alternate villain type.
“Then while the Royal Guard helps detain these two villains, we must try to help the others out.” Celestia stated forth in knowing what they need to do next here. “I will go help Twilight & Zecora against the Changelings.” She issued off in who she will go towards to offer her aid against one of the foes.
“Then I shall go in aiding the fight against the Alternate King Sombra.” Luna issued forth in where she will go to be of help.
“That just leaves the alternate versions of the Flim-Flam Brothers & Tirek. Question is, who should be where to help the most?” Goldie spoke off in trying to figure out who among the last ones here will go where.
“Allow me to offer my service for that task involving Tirek, Goldie.” Discord popped in to say in having heard the discussion revolving around the Alternate Tirek problem. “With this chance, I too can help Starry & the others against the Alternate Tirek. One: They will need the help the most & two: I DO have to score to settle with Tirek anyways.” Discord can help Starlight Glimmer & her group stop the Alternate Tirek, & get some payback from what the Tirek of Equestria Prime did to him.
“And I’ll go with you to make sure you don’t go too far with your revenge.” Fluttershy stated this in standing nearby to help keep Discord to behave himself well.
“Oh, very well; the pleasant company accepted.” Discord slowly spoke off in lightly making a smile on the subject.
“Neat! Then maybe I’ll hit the Apples' Farm to help…which is…..oh, hours away.” Pinkie Pie spoke off to say this in having thought about where she is needed, only to realize, it’ll take forever on her own unless she has magic.
“I’ll come along too, it’ll speed things up quicker.” Goldie spoke up in offering to go along to help Pinkie Pie.
“Thanks.” Pinkie Pie smiled off to thank the golden stallion for the aid.
“Good luck to you all.” Celestia stated off to wish those here much luck in where they are needed.
Then with that said, those that used magic sent themselves off to different directions now. Two villains down, only four more to go. The scene begins to go dark around now in how things will fair off from here.
The scene begins to open around Cloudsdale where the Changeling Army lead by Alternate Queen Chrysalis was busy capturing the citizens & absorbing lots of their love to make them stronger. Soon teleporting into the area while using a spell to make those that lack wings to stand on clouds was Twilight Sparkle, followed by her group of Zecora, Omega & Pinkamena. Right now, they seen what was going on before spotting the alternate version of Queen Chrysalis in front of them commanding her army.
“Well, well, so….we at last, what should come forth are others to our gathering to seek out love.” Chrysalis smiled off in seeing the heroes that have come, recognizing one who has escaped her and her army back in her own timeline.
“You who believe we come seeking our waited fates, you best not jump over such things when we have come to stop your latest escape.” Zecora spoke out in rhyme to state what she wished to be said here.
“Zecora is right, we’re not about to let you steal any love from Cloudsdale.” Twilight stated off to say this with a stern face in her words.
“And who is going to stop me, you three & a tin-plated object? We have no use for one that lacks love.” Alternate Chrysalis remarks doff to tease about three ponies & Omega, not likely to stop her.
“That hurts. I too am capable of understanding feelings.” Omega issued off to say this that he too can feel love.
“Yeah! And just for that, you are SO going down!” Pinkamena issued off to say this in getting her Chain Blades ready to go into battle.
“We shall see…Changelings…Attack!” Alternate Chrysalis issued to say this before giving out the order for her forces to attack.
Then without warning, the Changelings were attacking in a fast approach motion that Twilight’s group had to react fast in seeing their action. Many of the Changelings were shapeshifting into the scared citizens fleeing to puzzle the group that attacked those they did recognize, but were not watchful of the ones that took form to confuse them.
“Enemy units are spreading out & shapeshifting, must user inferred scanners…” Omega was using heat sensors to determine which Changeling was which in such forms as the others. “Targets confirmed & firing.” Then without warning, he used his Gatling guns to fire off at the right targets.
“Wraaaughh!” The Changelings were yelping from being attacked when their forms were reverted afterwards.
“Grrrr….infernal machine!” Alternate Chrysalis growls in fury in seeing what was done here that she was not very pleased to see.
“Ah, too bad….now your chances to confuse us are gone!” Pinkamena smiled off proudly in how Omega managed to stop the Changeling Queen from making it harder to find her army.
“I still have other ways, I have absorb much love from this place…behold!” Alternate Chrysalis issued forth to say this in having a glowing horn in about to demonstrate her power.
That’s when Alternate Chrysalis was unleashing fury of emerald magic flaring up like a meteor shower that surprised the gang to duck & dodge as much as possible. The Changeling Queen was laughing wickedly in having everyone on the run to dodge & hid behind cover.
“Okay….this could be bad, having that much magical power from so many ponies she’s taken their love for strength is like what happened to Celestia from my brother Shining Armor’s love!” Twilight stated off in seeing how much power Alternate Chrysalis has taken much power from the ponies here, it’s like how her brother’s love for Cadance overpowered Celestia.
“This matter maybe black, but there is still a way to make things clear.” Zecora spoke in rhyme in trying to calm Twilight’s thoughts of worry.
“You fools stand no chance against….” Alternate Chrysalis was bantering off to say this stuff about the matter until… “Kaboomfruvhm…/Gruuuaarughhh!” Without warning, something of a sun ball impeached to explode & caused harm to the villain that she yelped.
Then all eyes turn to who fired that attack, & it became very clear of by whom, as who should arrive to lean a helping hoof than….the Princess of the Sun; Celestia.
“Princess Celestia!” Twilight exclaimed surprised in seeing who was here all of a sudden.
“You will not hurt anyone here!” Celestia issued off with a stern expression on her face.
“Really, what will the fallen sun princess do? I’ve defeated my Celestia from my world & I will do the same with you!” Alternate Chrysalis exclaims, boasting that she has beaten her own Celestia and will do it with this one.
“I learn my lesson, so I will not be holding back. Gaia’s Sun!” Celestia issued off to say this in preparing one of her more stronger attacks.
That’s when Celestia shot off her sun sphere orb attack while Alternate Chrysalis counters with a loop-ring beam of dark/emerald color forms. Both attacks were about equal as everyone watches, but the enemy was pushing Celestia back from having more power.
“Give up, you cannot hope to win!” Alternate Chrysalis smirked off to say this in having this battle in the bag.
“Not unless I do this…Sun Flares!” Celestia issued off as she used something from her horn that shot a sphere into the air, exploded into raining meteor sun flares across the skies.
“Bam-Bam, BOOM/Gruueeeeghnnn…..” Then many Changelings yelped from this attack as it was causing them damage pain from across different locations while the attack hit none of the citizens.
“My Changelings!” Alternate Chrysalis yelps in seeing her entire army was being stopped by one attack motion that was taking out a whole army. "Grrr! I will get you!"
Celestia comment, "No, Chrysie. This time, you don't have any more major source of love to feed off of, so you have no power advantages against me."
“Thosuvhmm…./Boomfruvhmmm…” Then with much of Celestia’s strength as possible, she focused all of her strength into her attack to empower it, to blast through Chrysalis’s technique before making contact….
“Gwuuagh!” Alternate Queen Chrysalis screamed out from being knocked across the clouds after being subdued by a double-force blast fired by both Twilight and Celestia, combined with some knockout gas cooked up by Zecora before falling unconscious later afterwards.
“Pant…pant…pant…pant…” Celestia pants from kneeling down from having exhausted much of her strength, that’s twice in a day she had to use much; first with Nightmare Moon & now the Changeling Queen.
“Rest now, you have won, for no greater victory can be said, then for what you have done.” Zecora spoke in rhyme as usual.
“Celestia, that was amazing!” Twilight stated off to say this as she smiled in how her teacher performed; she beat Queen Chrysalis.
“Thank you Twilight, but we must now be heading off.” Celestia nods off to say this while changing the subject to a more serious discussion.
“Where to?” Pinkamena asked off in where they gotta be going to next after this.
“Luna & Golden Heart are surely handling King Sombra & the Flim-Flam Brothers alternatives….we must get to Tirek to aid the rest.” Celestia stated in determination and concern.
Everyone nods their heads in agreement, knowing that the others will be fine, it is the other enemy that is the BIGGEST threat, in strength, power AND SIZE! With a teleportation spell by Twilight, everyone was gone the next minute while the Royal Guards come around to detain the Changelings while everything goes dark now…
The scene begins to show what is happening in Canterlot with Alternate King Sombra & his army turning much beauty into dark jagged mineral gems across the town. Having arrived on the spot was Spike, Nyx, Phobos, & Ben along with the good Sombra & Autumn Gem. But as everyone watches that was happening, Alternate King Sombra turns to gaze at the group as they yelp in seeing they got the guy’s attention.
“Well, well, well….more slaves.” Alternate King Sombra smiled off fiendishly to say this in seeing who has arrived here.
“No! They are not slaves!” Sombra protest to say this in defending the ponies of Canterlot from this evil tyrant.
“Hmmm….” Alternate King Sombra narrows his eyes at the Sombra that spoke as if wanting to sound, like he cares. “Are you the one that betrayed the Umbrum?” He asked this from having known about who he is if he knows about his species to which the other Sombra should know about & betrayed to side with ponies.
“Nope, that’s the other guy. This one is just a split off….ow!” Phobos was stating off before Spike whacked him on the head for telling the enemy this.
“What if he was? What would you do?” Nyx raised an eyebrow in what the enemy would do if he even got his answer.
“I have him greet…some other friends I brought along.” Alternate King Sombra issued to say as some shadowy strange blurry creatures of horrified beings of clouds swarm around for all to see.
“Oh boy…that isn’t good! There is a lot of Umbrum!” Spike yelps in recognizing these guys, the Umbrum that was stopped when the old King Sombra of their world released them.
“Don’t forget, we stopped them once before. We can do so again!” Ben stated off to say this in getting his sword ready for a fight. He comment, "I might be minus my full power right now, Sombra, but I still have the sheer will to fight against your fear spells. The Element of Courage will do that."
“And you will have help as well, dear nephew.” Then appearing by a magical teleportation of a moonlight theme was Princess Luna.
“Aunt Luna?” Ben replied off surprised to see who was here all of a sudden.
“It’s not just her.” Spoke another voice that appeared by teleportation as it was a familiar unicorn mare known as…Radiant Hope.
“But also us!” Umbrem came from behind Radiant Hope, stating they are also here to aid as well.
“Grrr….another of me turned traitor!” Alternate King Sombra grows under his breath to see another version of him & this one was good like the last stands in the way.
“I choose’d my path when my love for Radiant Hope opened my eyes, she sacrifice much for me, so I shall return the favor. By stopping the evil of my past, here & now!” Umbrem issued off to explain how he is different compared to the Sombra that is still living in the dark ages.
“Heh-heh, heh-heh…..try if you can.” Alternate Sombra lets off an evil chuckle at such things before his army stood. “Sombra Army…Umbrum….DESTROY THEM!” He spoke forth to say this before yelling out his orders in fury.
Then a battle cry was heard before many sides were charging forth to attack, things were about even as about as even as they can be. But Alternate King Sombra rose on a dark Jagger rock crystal to spread his crystal fortification around. The gang had to put a stop to the source leading this army.
“Hey listen, you hit him high, I’ll hit him low.” Sombra issued this off to the other guy near him of what they can do.
“Very well then, on the count of three. One, Two…” Umbrem stated off to say as they will begin their attack together on…
“THREE!” Both Sombra guys announced forth as they fired a double magic beam shot as Alternate King Sombra used his dark magic to keep the attack at bay.
“Grrr….get in there & stop them, fools!” Alternate King Sombra growls off in fury before telling his army to stop those from attacking him.
“Lunar Lightwave!” Luna announced forth to say this with her glowing horn; she unleashed something in the skies that flash off as a lunar light-show that was zapping around all of the enemies.
“Graaaugh…/Errrrieekk!” The Sombra Army yelped form the attack & it stung the Umbrum something fierce as well, as many were falling at an alarming rate.
“Impossible!” Alternate King Sombra exclaimed in shock, that attack might have drain some of Luna’s magic, but it left him without an army.
“Here’s my number one hit, Sword Beam/Powfruvhmm…” Ben announced forth before firing a charge Sword Beam from the Master Sword right into the enemy’s front side to aid the two good Sombra versions.
“Kaboomfruvhmm…/GRUUOOAARUGHHH!” Then the exploding force of the attack caused Alternate King Sombra to scream from being inflicted with much pain that his dark crystal point shattered before he fell to land on the ground; defeated & unconscious.
“Phew, glad that is finally over!” Phobos wipes the sweat off of his forehead in seeing this fight now over.
“So, what happens next?” Spike asked off in what they will do from here on now.
“Pant-Pant…phew. Well…We must meet Celestia & the others against Tirek.” Luna pants a bit before catching her breath to state what they need to do next.
“What about the others you said were fighting other alternate villain foes?” Radiant Hope asked off in knowing there were other villains from alternate timelines acting as well.
“Well, they are probably handling them alright, so we probably shouldn’t worry too much.” Autumn Gem thought this out in thinking that things are probably under control that they need not worry.
“Agreed.” Sombra & Umbrem nod off in agreement on the subject there.
“Okay, next stop, Tirek!” Ben declared forth in seeing what they are gonna do next here.
With that, Luna used her magic to help teleport them all from this area to where they need to get to. At this moment while the scene darkens, some of the Royal Guards in the area began to show up to help keep control of the fallen Sombra & Umbrum Army…
With Sweet Apple Acres, we see that Applejack, Rainbow Dash & Rarity accompanied by Fila & Jack Zen were in a stalemate situation. For the Alternate Flim-Flam Brothers had some mechanical creations standing with them in having a showdown with the others.
“Ye darn dirty varmints! Ye can’t do this ta our farm!” Applejack snapped off to the guys in what they are trying to do here.
“Oh, but we can & we will! Right Brother?” Alternate Flim smiled off to simply say this about having the will to get away with such things.
“With this deed, your farm is ours now!” Alternate Flam showed a deed that shows the OWN Sweet Apple Acres.
“But that deed is only acceptable to YOUR alternate timeline of the Apple’s Farm. Not here!” Jack Zen protest to say this about the matter of where that deed should work out.
“There isn’t anything about NOT owning another Sweet Apple Acres.” Alternate Flim pointed off to mention this about how there was nothing against such means.
“Therefore, here or anywhere, if it’s legal, then you best get lost!” Alternate Flam stated off in pointing out a loophole that the good guys failed to keep track of.
“Can’t we just smash our way through?” Rainbow Dash stated to her group in what they do to stop these guys.
“Unfortunately no, they have a deed & if we break the law of something that isn’t illegal, we be no good as they are for swindling to get that.” Rarity stated off in knowing how the situation won’t work if they break a law that is legal.
“There must be a way to get through this, but how?” Fila questioned off that there must be a way to change this tide to their favor.
Then without warning, a flaming golden fireball was hurl across the area which made contact with the deed the Alternate Flim-Flam Brothers held onto.
“Aaaahhh!” Alternate Flim screamed out in the deed dropped while burning away.
“THE DEED!” Alternate Flam exclaimed in seeing the deed to own the farm is gone.
“Sorry fellas, but as a prince…” Then appearing from above before landing off the spot where all can see, it was, a familiar golden stallion. “I declare your deed of owning Sweet Apple Acres…BURNED!” Goldie spoke off to say this as he & Pinkie Pie stood on the top of the hill area in showing some heroic poses.
“Which means….nothing’s stopping us from kicking your flanks!” Pinkie Pie smiled off in seeing that the deed that was legal rights to own the farm is no more & now…nothing is protecting them from getting a beating.
“Uh-oh!” The Alternate Flim-Flam Brothers replied off with worry, knowing this won’t be good for them.
Soon in mere minutes, lots of loud noises of metal clashing & scrap irons being tossed around ended up making it quite shocking. Wasn’t long before we see that everything was turn to scrape metal & the Alternate Flim-Flam Brothers lay down on the ground, out cold at this time.
“Well, this didn’t take too long.” Rainbow Dash smiled off proudly in how they handled that situation well.
“I’m just glad my farm is safe.” Applejack sighs off in relief in how things have got better quickly.
“Yes, thank you for getting rid of that deed.” Rarity smiled off to say this to the two ponies that arrived to help them most needed.
“We’re glad that things worked out & I think there is but one more enemy left.” Pinkie Pie smiled off to simply say this in how many enemies are left to be handled.
“Your Pinkie Sense tell you that?” Jack Zen raised an eyebrow in guessing how Pinkie Pie got that.
“Where should we go next, who is left?” Fila asked off in who is still left to be stopped.
“My guess, Tirek, I can teleport us there, so everyone stay close.” Goldie stated off to say this while wanting everyone to gather around him.
Everyone nodded off to agree with the gold stallion, afterwards, Golden Heart had his horn glow that he was able to teleport everyone here out. The Royal Guards soon showed up to apprehend the Alternate Flim-Flam Brothers as the scene goes dark at this time…
Finally, we see by the Everfree Forest, we see something big stomping across the way…it was the Alternate Tirek. And those that were trying to stop the villain were Bon-Bon, Lyra, Time Turner, Derpy, Sunset, Flash, Starlight Glimmer & Azuma. Seem like everyone was trying to throw what look like exploding devices that Time Turner cooked up for non-magic uses to throw or drop on top of the guy if they flew. All while those that can do magic tried to fire some strong magic beams, even the best ones from Sunset, Starlight & Azuma gave much of their best here.
“GROOUUAARRUGHHH/Powwfruvhmmm….” Now Alternate Tirek fired a massive magic beam from his horns that made many dodge around it before they were blasted to smithereens.
“So much for that approach.” Bon-Bon rolled her eyes in seeing that plan was a bust.
“What’s the next plan we got?” Lyra asked off in what they can do next here.
“Something is strange, he took magic to grow stronger right?” Sunset asked off in recalling what Tirek once did when he was set loose before.
“She’s right, why hasn’t this Tirek done so like the one that was stopped here?” Flash nods in being puzzled in what this alternate Tirek was planning.
“I think the only reason he hasn’t drained us yet is because he knows it would be most disheartening for him to beat us when we are at full strength rather than just drain us & be done with it.” Starlight Glimmer explained something off in what she could best figure out the motive in what Alternate Tirek was doing; he was not even trying that hard.
“So, he’s just toying with us?” Derpy raised an eyebrow up in having heard what was happening.
“How very perspective you all can be!” Alternate Tirek spoke off loudly in where the entire group was able to hear him. “FOOLS! I have the combined power of literally every pony in MY timeline's Equestria - including my timeline's versions of all three of your princesses - as well as the power of my timeline's Discord. The only reason I don’t drain the power from all of you right now & be done with it, is because I’m having too much fun seeing you squirm with this fight.” He made a fiendish smile in stating his reason of why he doesn’t end things here & now.
“Great, NOW he tells us!” Starlight Glimmer rolled her eyes in annoyance in how this guy was just messing with them.
“Keep the formation together, we can’t let him approach any further towards Ponyville.” Azuma issued off to warn the group of what they need to be doing here.
“I get the feeling that this maybe a lot tougher than trying to go one on one with Twilight.” Starlight Glimmer stated in seeing how hard this fight will be compared to how she face Twilight in their old time travel adventure.
“Believe in them, they’ll show up when you least expect it.” Azuma stated to say that they must believe that their friends will show up.
Then without warning, many teleportation auras of magic appeared around the spot as everyone yelps a bit. Then what should happen to appear, then the rest of the members that have already defeated the other Alternate Villains. The group was gathered together in preparing to stand against the one threat left to deal with; the alternate villain Tirek.
“Speak of the devils, look who showed up.” Azuma exclaimed in seeing the others have finally all gathered together; Celestia, Luna, Golden Heart, Pinkamena, Goldie, Jack Zen, Sombra, Autumn Gem, Fila, Omega, Umbrem, Radiant Hope, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Discord, Twilight, Zecora, Ben, Nyx, Spike, & Phobos. The whole lot was here, just as they began to notice their surroundings, etc.
“Sorry we’re late.” Spike apologize for being a little late to arrive.
“Did we miss much?” Phobos asked off a silly question without being considerate.
“Not much it would seem.” Omega pointed off that they don’t appear to have missed much of anything.
“Alright, time to take this big bogey down!” Pinkamena exclaimed to say this in taking her Chain Blades out in being ready to go.
“FOOLS! Do you think numbers will make a difference?” Alternate Tirek taunts off to say while continuing. “I have the combined power of literally every pony in MY timeline’s Equestria, including my timeline’s versions of all three of your princesses, as well as the power of my timeline’s Discord. I’m more than twice as powerful as you are.” He explained how that he is by far the strongest around, nothing the group here will do to stop him.
“All the more means that we don’t have to hold back when fighting you.” Discord snarled off to say this in still carrying a bit of grudge on what this guy of this world did to him.
“All right then….” Alternate Tirek exclaimed to start cracking his knuckles a bit in getting himself a bit ready. “As much fun as this light exercise has been, I can see that it’s time to stop playing around.” He stated in stomping along in preparing to end the battle here.
“WE QUITE AGREE!” Everyone spoke off in union as they are gonna go all out…now.
Then without warning, everyone was combining all of their best attacks to hit the Alternate Tirek before he could attack back or draw them of their magic. Lots of smoke began to fill in the air as everyone kept hammering away without delay until finally, they stopped for a brief moment. As the smoke began to clear, a loud mountain rubble from nearby fell down in covering a part of the forest, & buried Alternate Tirek’s body, somehow signaling that….they stopped him.
“Did, did we do it?” Jack Zen asked off in being lost if they won or not.
“I’m not detecting any movement signs.” Fila stated off to say this in not detecting anything abnormal.
“Phew, thank goodness.” Rarity sighs with relief in seeing that was over with.
“So, does that mean all of the other villains are dealt with?” Fluttershy asked off meekly to say if all the villains have been dealt with.
“You kidding? Things went a lot quicker than usual.” Pinkie Pie stated off to say this in how things kinda went.
“Might be because of some good help along the way. Celestia & Luna really helped enough with their own parts before going off to fight Chrysalis & King Sombra.” Goldie exclaimed to say in looking at those that were around that gave even the Mane Six bunch a helping aid.
“Well, at least none of those lousy critics can fault Celestia & Luna's performance this time. I mean, they were front & center helping us directly. Not only did the two of them beat Nightmare Moon, but hearing Celestia helped Twilight & Zecora beat Chrysalis, then heard Luna helped Spike, Ben & Nyx against King Sombra, & now they BOTH helped out against Tirek. Well okay, so it was ALL of us who beat Tirek, but at least nopony can accuse the princesses of being weak or cowardly on this one.” Rainbow Dash was explaining the matter of how from a good perspective view, that now proof shows how much the Royal Sisters are reliable in helping the gang out.
“That’ll be swell, I don’t want others to not think my mom & aunt aren’t doing enough.” Ben nods off to say this in agreement on the matter itself.
“Be at ease Ben, we knew how hard this would be. So we pulled as much as we can to quicken the pace.” Celestia stated to calmly explain how she & Luna wanted to help pick up the pace from so many attacks.
“But of course, that also might have backfired, using so much magic effort to defeat different armies & strong foes…” Luna exclaimed to say while wiping the sweat off her forehead, this type of battle took a lot out of them.
“That’s amazing that you were able to handle them.” Nyx smiled off to say this in what she had heard.
“So what now?” Autumn Gem asked off in what they do from here.
“We await for the Royal Guards to show up, then use the same Anti-Magic Binding equipment to keep Tirek in check like the others.” Sombra explained that they need to await for the last Royal Guard members to help detain Alternate Tirek from going anywhere.
“That will save us much later struggling here as we all might be low.” Umbrem nods off to say this in feeling they are very low on magic as it is.
“Let’s hope the Royal Guards show up soon.” Radiant Hope stated to say this in hoping that the guards will arrive shortly soon.
“For now, let’s take a minute to catch our breaths, shall we…?” Twilight suggested this off as a means to recover their breath, which everyone agrees to just settle down to regain their exhausted strength…
However, as everyone was feeling fine in seeing that the last villain was defeated, underneath a mountain of rubble underneath of the Everfree Forest, the camera zooms in. There, we see Tirek buried underneath, looking like he was taken down. But just then, his eyes began to move a bit as if trying to wake up that cause some debris to move. But what happened next showed his eyes opened wide as if not truly being out of it & looks ready for Round 2....
Author's Note
Another chapter down, onwards to the near-finale. As it looks like things are well, Alternate Tirek decides to unleash a magic force from a strange dark aura glowing stone he’s obtain, thus transform him into something else more dangerous. The heroic gang try to do something, but it took the Rainbow Power-Up Forms to take down Tirek in a Final Form, how can they stop this? Can maybe even Starlight Glimmer try to protect everyone from being harmed to show she’s good? And what is Azuma about to perform of his secret technique that also reveals….a transformation? What will happen from here out, stay tune to bear-witness it all!
Chapter 03: Alternative Resolutions!
Chapter 03: Alternate Resolution!
We begin to open up around the Everfree Forest, in where the battle against Alternate Tirek has seemingly been taken care of & now the Royal Guards are digging the giant foe’s body out of the buried rubble from the mountain nearby. The group of heroes were just resting for what seem like a half hour, as many have already stopped the alternate timeline foes of Nightmare Moon, King Sombra, an Un-reform Discord, the Flim-Flam Brothers & Queen Chrysalis.
“How’s everyone holding out?” Time Turner asked off in checking how many are doing at this time.
“Pretty good doc.” Derpy replied off to say this with an honest face.
“I’m just glad it’s finally all over.” Lyra sighs to say this in how glad she is that things worked out okay.
“Right, Alternate Tirek, we managed to slow him down just to buy enough time for you to arrive.” Bon-Bon exclaimed to say this in nodding in agreement in what they managed to do here.
“You know, I been thinking.” Ben rubbed his chin to ponder something for a second.
“What is it daddy?” Nyx asked her father in seeing he was thinking about something seriously.
“Me & a few other willing Element Wielders like Azuma fought Tirek in his Final Form to a small motion of hiding out. That was when Twilight & the others defeated him for good.” Ben explained about what happened when they fought against Tirek of their world before it took the Mane Six to deliver the last blow to victory.
“Ye mean with our Rainbow Forms?” Applejack exclaimed to recall how they defeated Tirek in the first place.
“Why yes, I do believe we did achieve something like that.” Rarity stated to say this in thinking about how they succeeded that time.
“Guess we didn’t need it here, hugh? Probably cause we got a bit stronger.” Rainbow Dash shrug off to brag off in how awesome they are.
“Wait, maybe what Ben is saying isn’t making some nonsense. This Tirek should be as strong as the one from our world!” Twilight exclaimed to say this in having some second thoughts about what should be the realization of things.
“Oh dear, do you think so?” Fluttershy yelps in fearing the idea of if that was true.
“But wait, if that was the case, how come he’s down & out if this was too easy?” Pinkie Pie asked in pondering if this Tirek wasn’t defeated yet, how come it looks like he is?
“Unless….we’re not entirely done!” Pinkamena exclaimed to say this in having a bad feeling about their situation.
But just then, something began to shake within the area that alerted everyone
“Um, I think our problem….just came back to us!” Starlight Glimmer yelps in seeing that the problem has just come back to them without warning.
“Foolish ponies, I know what happened here to know of what you done to the Tirek of this world. But the results won’t be the same, for I obtain something very useful be brought with me.” Alternate Tirek exclaimed forth in seeing the fools will not stop him by means of what stop the same foe as before in this world.
That’s when Alternate Tirek began to summon something into the palm of his hands as it took the form of what looked like a rather LARGE boulder to fit in the guy’s giant grip. But from closer inspection, the boulder was mostly purple with some dark patterns & gave off a wickedly scary aura that made many feel like shivering on sight.
“Oh no…That’s….” Autumn Gem yelps in seeing what was seen.
“A Dark Stone!” Sombra exclaimed in recognizing that object.
“You all know about the object?” Fila asked the others in seeing that there were some that have heard about such objects.
“Dark Stones: They generally take the form of dark & purplish stones of any size & shape, some even been accessorized by others into various ornaments or weapons. They steadily give off a faint purple to pinkish glow from time to time, even to appear as dark auras around users to commit evil acts. For if one lets that power consume them will turn even those of good nature into evil even if the user is good at heart or uses dark stones for good. It's said Dark Stones can develop unique abilities of a being that uses them, different powers that manifest the will of the wielder or their inherent strength. NOTED FACT: However, while having a larger supple of Dark Stones can grand one more power, a Dark Stone can grow more powerful when a user attempts to unleash their true darkness & the monster within their very hearts; but to do that, they must let the Dark Stone be fused into them. Powerful evil villains that can manipulate this upon easy victims can turn those infested to destroy their enemies because of their hatred & anger on those they dislike so much to become greater hatred & rage to take revenge. However, if the victim overcomes the Dark Stone's effect, it will be expelled from their bodies & become dull with the loss of its evil magic.” Omega explained the concept about what Dark Stones are & what dangers it comes with when one tries to truffle in fields they do not understand.
“I learned about them too, they are a great & evil source of power, they are considered a power boost & are recorded in the Forbidden Book of Spells.” Radiant Hope explained how Dark Stones are a source of evil to help empower & corrupt pure souls.
“How did he obtain one THAT large? Did he somehow gain such a thing from his alternate world’s timeline?” Umbrem questions off that what Alternate Tirek has is the largest subject of a RAW mineral of a Dark Stone.
“Now you will bear-witness power that even the Tirek of this world never tried.” Alternate Tirek issued forth to say this in what he’ll show that will bring about new terror. “HYRRUUOOAAARRUGHHHH!” Then he lets out a loud battle cry as he held the object near his chest.
Then without warning, dark light shined from that massive Dark Stone before sinking deep into Alternate Tirek’s body & soon within a warp-space aura, something was changing parts of the centaur’s appearance. As the light began to dim down, nearly everyone was almost staring off in shock in what they see, while the villain seemingly remain the same giant height, his physical features have changed into something far more darker. Still appearing as a centaur, the lower horse bottom half was covered in dark mineral made armor with gold lining designs & hoof-wear to appear like something rushing in a blacken gold flame from a demonic realm of creatures. As for the upper half of the beast-human feature, wearing what was like a Demonic robe connecting to the battle armor, which had a skeleton Demonic body armor in where down by the waist had a skull of a centaur, almost like…Tirek’s own! And from the arms in dark violet silk robe tear off a bit to wearing a gold bracelet, the hands appeared demonic with long nails & on the shoulders were shoulder pads of violet & gold line design; but a second shoulder pad of bones was set where a long red cape stretch out. But even scarier was seeing the head, it look like it was made of a demonic skull-form of Tirek, while within showed a faceless human head, but with bright yellow demonic eyes, mouth & line marks across the face, looking like the face of a ghastly ghoul. And the final touch was seeing flames off the back of the head like a mane of lively hair, also the same for the tail & two from the top of his two horns. The only thing seen wielded was what looked like a Demonic black lance with two points from front & back & a grip holder in the middle area. As for where the massive boulder of RAW Dark Stones was, it was seen embedded in the transformed foe’s center chest location. But as this creature stood before everyone, they could feel a large surge of darkness empowering this Alternate Tirek.
“Golden Heart…” Jack Zen slowly was speaking in having a bad feeling about this.
“Yeah….” Goldie slowly spoke off in having an unsteady feeling about the situation.
“What happens when a tough enemy you had on the ropes turns into that?” Jack Zen asked a question concerning about fighting a Tirek foe that has become something like what they see here.
“No idea, but in my best view, it CAN’T be good!” Goldie stated off blankly in knowing, this is not a good thing to be seeing.
“Behold your downfall….for now I am more than just the Alternate Appearance of Tirek, I have transform from the collection of Dark Stones to become: Centaur King, Tirek!” The new form of Alternate Tirek announced forth in revealing his new form.
“Oh bother…..like we weren’t in enough trouble when he just TOOK the magic from everyone to become strong!” Discord slapped his forehead in seeing that now they got a stronger enemy to defeat.
“Sister, we must stop Tirek before he can conquer Equestria!” Luna issued off in knowing that they must stop this stronger enemy before he can do great harm.
“Agreed. Twilight, you & the others must perform what aided you before.” Celestia nods off to say this while looking to those that once fought Tirek before.
“Yeah, about that….we’re not entirely sure how it works.” Rainbow Dash rubbed the back of her head in stating a matter of not knowing how they did the Rainbow Form Transformation.
“But I bet’cha we’re gonna be wishing we DID! Lookout!” Applejack issued off to say this with worry before yelling this out.
Then without warning, everyone was either running, flying or teleporting out of danger when a hint lance was swung across the field.
“YOU CAN NOT OUTRUN ME!” Centaur King Tirek declared off to say this to the heroes as he was seen leaping like a flaming dash blur over a horizon of the forest to corner the tiny prey. “My new form not only makes me stronger, but FASTER too! And I can do this!” He explained forth that his new body is not just for show, he can do many more things.
That was when another shocker happened that Centaur King Tirek unleashed a blaze of inferno from his horns like torch-blowers. Everyone was scattering & evading or defending as best they could. But then in that moment when it was over, the entire area was shot an orange blaze color as the heroes saw…the Everfree Forest was on fire…
“Oh no! The animals of the forest!” Fluttershy yelps in fear in seeing the poor creatures as in trouble a large-scale forest fire.
“He’ll burn the whole forest down at this rate!” Rarity exclaimed with concern that if they don’t put out the flames, nothing will survive.
“We’ll have to divide into teams to keep this forest fire from reaching Ponyville.” Twilight issued off in knowing what they need to do, contain this massive problem from spreading.
“We can help keep the fire steady while many of you try to stop Tirek.” Radiant Hope exclaimed to say this in knowing what they can do to help out the most by dividing separate task.
“Quickly now, if anyone can do it, it’s you all.” Umbrem exclaimed to say this in feeling the group that are the best fighters can stop Centaur King Tirek in his tracks.
“Alright, while half of us are dealing with fire safety, the rest are on stopping a villain. Lets go-go-go!” Pinkie Pie smile forth to cheer off this claim in seeing that it’s time they get a move on.
Soon Radiant Hope lead Umbrem, Sombra, Autumn Gem, Jack Zen, Bon-Bon, Lyra, Derpy, & Time Turner to try to handle things in keeping the forest from burning while the group consisting of Celestia, Luna, Twilight, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Golden Heart, Omega, Fila, Ben Nyx in her Adult Form, Phobos, Spike, Flash Sentry, Sunset Shimmer & Starlight Glimmer were focusing on trying to keep Centaur King Tirek busy.
“Sword Beam!” Ben yelled out before swinging a charge Master Sword that fired a Sword Beam, but when it made contact with Centaur King Tirek, it barely showed a dent in the armor. “What? Not even a flinch?” Ben was surprised, usually enemies react, but Tirek was not much faze even with a tiny dent on that armor of his lower half.
“It must be the Dark Stones, that massive boulder must make it harder for Tirek to even feel pain.” Starlight Glimmer stated off in seeing that from the Dark Stone, it must have given Tirek a new ability.
“Then I will continue to bring on a heavier assault!” Omega issued off to say this while unleashing his barrage of arsenal firepower; just before the enemy used its speed togged out of the picture. “Target has evaded! Scanning for location!” Omega stated off in seeing that he needs to locate where Tirek went off towards.
“Omega! Behind you!” Fila yelled out to warn the mechanical pony as she leaps in….
At the moment, Fila tackle Omega out of the way when Centaur King Tirek maneuvered behind to swing his lance that leveled off a large scale of a forest section. Everyone was surprised, because even a bot like Omega might have been broken to pieces if that attack was made into contact.
“Man, for something that big, he’s moving fast.” Jack Zen stated off in not knowing how a big enemy could move that quickly.
“That power up of his is no joke.” Autumn Gem stated from seeing the damage done, Centaur King Tirek was no joke.
“Is there not a way to stop him?” Sombra asked in how to stop the enemy from getting away.
“The only way to stop someone using a Dark Stone is to destroy the source! Namely, that large boulder filled with RAW Dark Stone minerals!” Azuma pointed off in knowing what they need to do, stop the source that was giving Tirek his power.
“Have you seen the size of that thing, it take an army to do it! And we’re short now!” Goldie exclaimed off in surprise that they need to destroy something that massive.
“Never fear bro, you forget who’s also helping us out!” Pinkamena smiled off to simply say this in knowing they got someone that can be the aid of an army.
Soon Azuma activated a move called Multiple Clone Technique as he was creating massive version amounts of himself to confront the Centaur King Tirek.
“Grrr….you think a hundred, even a thousand ponies can even hope to restrain me!?” Centaur King Tirek snarled off in annoyance in seeing how the group believes this will stop him, sending in replicas.
“It will as I can produce more & more! Up to a thousand & more….” Azuma issued forth to say this as he was continuing to make even more clone replicas to go forth to restrain the mighty new Tirek from where he stands.
“Azuma, when could you make this many?” Twilight asked off surprised that their friend was able to perform something like this.
“He learn much in developing this in the past 100 years ago Twilight, that is a technique considered a Forbidden type, because it can potentially be dangerous to the user performing it, seeing how all of the clones are given an equal amount of magic directly from the user.” Celestia explained this off for Twilight to know of what Azuma was able to use a move that was most likely a Forbidden Spell, a very tricky stuff.
“We heard that Azuma learn this from the Book of Forbidden Spells, because few are able to use this technique effectively, due to a large amount of magic it consumes. However, this weakness is not an issue for him, due to his massive magic reserves after gaining an Alicorn form.” Luna explained how using a spell that can zap away much of one’s magic strength is hard unless one has a lot of magic in reserve.
“So then, having such reserves allows him to create hundreds of clones while maintaining a decent supply of magic energy in each one!” Starlight Glimmer exclaimed in surprise in having heard this, she was not aware that Azuma even had such a capability.
“Not just that, I heard from the Royal Sisters that Azuma used this technique to quickly train himself, since all the clones share their experience with him, but it causes extreme fatigue with repeated use.” Goldie stated how using a technique like that was hard on the user to gain new experiences while feeling much of the fatigue along the way.
“But he learns to make due with it since it helps make him stronger after the training results. Now he can use that technique on multiple occasions to form human chains, for both offensive & supplementary reasons. Which is why he’s a user to the Element of Replication.” Pinkamena smiled off with pride in acknowledging how from what Azuma achieved has made him a lot stronger.
“I can’t believe it, even I have had trouble trying to make so many clones of myself like that!” Starlight Glimmer exclaimed in never believing someone could do this on a whim without having too much difficulty doing it.
The battle continues in where Azuma had already created up to nearly 5000 clones to be restraining much of Centaur King Tirek’s movements. The rest of the group was trying to land as much damage on parts of the evil centaur as possible, however…
“ENOUGH/PowFruvhmm….” Then without warning, Centaur King Tirek unleashed a blazing inferno aura that blasted & scatter many of the clones off his body while the heroes stood their ground.
“I don’t think he’s too happy.” Phobos sheepishly stated in seeing this seem bad.
“You think?” Spike rolled his eyes to state how Phobos got that.
“We’re running out of options here.” Flash stated to say this in seeing they are running out of options to stop the villain.
“We need to hit him with stronger spells.” Sunset exclaimed to say this in seeing what they need to do here.
But then Centaur King Tirek used his blazing speed to charge around the heroes, as he began to unleash inferno blast & swung his lance to wreck more of the forest area. Everyone was trying to hold out & the heroes fighting the enemy were unleashing much more of their magic power to try to cause some extra form of damage. Many of the unicorn & Alicorn spell users even fired off Unicorn Burst attacks, until Centaur King Tirek hurl off his lance, as the massive lance ended up doing the impossible to break through a piercer type spell before impacting the ground. The shockwave caused an implosion that scattered everyone across the field as they were seen lying down. Radiant Hope’s group furtherest from the attack saw what happened to feel worry.
“Uh oh! That isn’t good!” Derpy yelps in seeing that their pals are in deep trouble.
“They’re in trouble.” Lyra stated that the gang that are fighting need help.
“We have to go back for them.” Bon-Bon issued off in what they need to do, help the gang out.
“Wait, someone is still moving.” Time Turner stopped everyone from noticing that something was happening now.
At the moment, Starlight Glimmer was beginning to wake up from what happened first as she began to notice that the dark powered top Tirek was stomping closer to their location.
“It is time that I claim my prize of conquering this world those that brought me here offered.” Centaur King Tirek issued forth that he shall make claim of what he was promised.
“No…..I…won’t let you have my….my…” Starlight stated off to protest against this guy from trying to achieve anything, because the others here were…
“Your what, little pony?” Centaur King Tirek remarked off to see what the little pony trying to be brave was trying to say.
“My friends!” Starlight shouted off to say this that the group she’s with are her friends.
Now Starlight Glimmer used much of her power to create a large enough magic barrier to shield everyone, just as Centaur King Tirek landed a strike with his giant lance. The force impact was quite tremendous, but the unicorn mare held out while feeling the shock backlash forces while trying to maintain her magic barrier to hold out. She even made crystals form inside of it, but they were cracking at a fast rate from Tirek’s power.
“You think your little barrier can keep me from your friends?” Centaur King Tirek remarked off to say this in hardly seeing any threat in what was happening.
“You won’t win. My friends stopped you & the other villains from alternate timelines before, they can do so again…” Starlight stated off in trying to speak with some self-confidence to help her out.
“That was then, you had an army of far stronger warriors, I have transformed with a power that makes me invincible!” Centaur King Tirek declared off to say this in unleashing even more dark power of his magic to make the weight Starlight is blocking even harder to deal with.
“Even still, I…won’t…lose….” Starlight struggled to slowly speak her words in putting as much effort into her horn to keep the protective magic barrier up; to keep everyone that is her friend safe.
“Well spoken, Starlight Glimmer…” Then getting up to walk outside of Starlight Glimmer’s barrier by teleportation was Azuma, much to the mare’s surprise. “It is time that we show the villain, that we will not fall due to someone that things a power of one, is greater then the strength go many comrades.” Then without warning, Azuma was performing the Multiple Clone Technique, this time having made a large magic poof cloud appear & soon what came was more than 5000 clones, it was double the amount….10,000! Even Starlight Glimmer & the others stared in surprise in what they had seen…..
“More clones, I told you, no amount of an army can stand against the dark powers I wield!” Centaur King Tirek exclaimed to say this in seeing that no matter the numbers, it will not do anything.
“Then it is time that you met with something that brings the strength of all of us together.” Azuma stated this off with a serious expression on his face of what he & his clones plan to do.
“Sister, does he plan to unleash it now?” Luna asked off in realizing what their friend is going to do here that the Royal Sisters know.
“Unleash what?” Ben asked off in not understanding the discussion.
“A move that Azuma has been learning to acquire for the last 100 years to bring together his clones to have their combine strength.” Celestia stated off with a firm tone in bringing up this topic of what Azuma has been trying to achieve, which surprised the others.
“Wait, you’re not saying he’s going to perform….the Xros Fusion Spell! With THAT many?” Twilight yelps in just thinking about the very idea seem too wild to even imagine.
“Is such a thing possible?” Fila asked in being curious about performing such a task.
“Usually when a powerful user can cast it, it is simple even if one forces those that do not willingly do so, the only limit might be to how many units.” Omega explained how when one can cast the Xros Fusion Spell in two ways, but the motion of so many seem hard unless one has enough magic to do it.
“I recall hearing Azuma was trying to perfect it, a special move that uses both works of transformation & the use of the Xros Fusion Spell, but he has to have all of them share the same strength of 100 percent.” Goldie stated off to mention in what the guy has to do in order to insure, that such a technique goes off without a hitch.
“But that’s crazy talk, he must have used up a lot of his strength, he might be lucky to just hold 25 or 50 percent left.” Starlight Glimmer protest in thinking that was too crazy to display the same strength in over five to ten thousand clones.
“Well you better pay close attention, cause this might be something related to Element Evolution too, which while I can do too, but I defiantly wanna see how this goes.” Pinkamena stated off that they watch what will happen, cause Azuma seems to have a plan to turn the tables here.
All eyes were focus entirely on what Azuma was about to unleash as many were wondering if an army won’t take down the powered up Tirek, will a secret technique the Clone Creator develop be the key…?
“All of you ready?” Azuma asked as he looked to the eyes of all of his clone replicas that showed the same determination as he did. “Then let’s begin….Transformation - Clone Prime!” He issued forth to say this while yelling out that last part…
Then without warning, Azuma & all of his clones roared off in unleashing their magic auras, many of the clones shot off in the air before coming down on…the original as they were…fusing. As the process was going on, a stronger glowing sphere dome began to be made, just before something of it was cleared away to reveal from the 10,000 army units, there stood only one; a transformed Azuma. The Alicorn stallion still looked the same, but he was seen wearing a red cloak jacket with a symbol that stands for ‘Clone Prime’ on it & he was unleashing a bright yellow/orange aura off his body. As friends & foe watch to behold, many could not believe what they were seeing…
“So, this is what you pride yourself on? You were better off with an army!” Centaur King Tirek remotely stated in not being so impressed by the change of the opponents.
But then without warning, Clone Prime vanished in a flash of glowing blur, then appeared above Centaur King Tirek.
“Violent - Adamantine Cyclone/Kickpowfruvhmm….” Then in that single motion, Clone Prime deals a severe roundhouse kick to the enemy….
“GRRUUOOAARURHGHH….” Centaur King Tirek was shot backwards almost twelve feet even for his height & heavy weight; that kick felt like the user’s body inherited superhuman strength with harden muscle strength.
“Next is….Morning Peacock!” Then what comes next was when Clone Prime kicked the enemy into the air, which seem to almost be an instant kill & seeing someone kick a giant body several yards upwards. “Pow-Pow-Pow-Pow-Pow-Pow…” Then Clone Prime jumps into the air in a distinctive stance & begins punching the enemy repeatedly. Everyone watched with surprise as the punches were so fast, they were set ablaze by sheer speed & friction which in turn creates a peacock-like fan of flames around the opponent. “Fruvhmm…Crashfruvhmmm….” Once the attack was finished, Centaur King Tirek was sent crashing back to the ground, covered with the attack’s aura.
“Woah…..I didn’t even know that Azuma could perform all of that!” Sunset exclaimed in surprise, she knows that Azuma was strong from being both an Alicorn & wielding an element, but this…blown her away.
“Apparently, the guy has been training hard, even from a breeze, I can feel….the change in the air!” Flash exclaimed in watching the battle & for some strange tingling feeling, the wind blown against him was like voices saying….who was stronger compared to the two & it was their friend.
“How Can This Be?” Centaur King Tirek protest in moving himself upwards to gaze at the transform opponent. “I have the power of a giant collection of Dark Stones!” He protest to state he has greater power from the source of great darkness aiding him.
“I told you….strength comes from others when united & now you will fall.” Clone Prime explained this with a serious tone in not giving his foe any choice but to face him.
“We shall see…” as Centaur King Tirek was exclaiming this he suddenly was making his body glow with a pitch of dark aura as he held his lance upwards. “Inferno Lance!/Powfruvhmmm….” Then he throws his lance at the opponent with extreme speed as it travels through the air. The lance begins to spin & builds up magical energy.
“Daytime Tiger!” Then Clone Prime places a front palm facing forward in front of his face with one hoof & then taps it with the other hoof, which was creating a massive amount of air pressure. Then without warning, launches the air pressure at the opponent i the shape of a tiger by leaving a gigantic tiger-shape impression into the initially built-up air pressure with the hoof. “GROOOUURRRUGHHH!” Then the air-pressure tiger unleashes a mighty roar wave as if attacking…
“Powwwfruvhhmmmm….” As both attacks were colliding, everyone watches as something was happening. Centaur King Tirek’s lance was acting like a drill to inflict extreme piercing damage against the air pressure that was condense when it was moving & was focused into a single point; both sides were in a tie of equal strength.
“They’re evenly match!” Radiant Hope exclaimed surprise in not knowing who was going to win this.
“Yes, but someone will have to give!” Umbrem exclaimed in knowing that someone will have to give in sooner or later.
“What is the meaning of this? My most deadly of force is not making any effort, even against the strongest opponent of three Alicorns!” Centaur King Tirek protest in seeing this, the opponent was not falling, it’s like his strength is even higher than he who has taken the magic of three Alicorns.
“Release your roar! Now!” Clone Prime exclaimed forth as he was pushing his technique even further until…..it broke the enemy’s lance to pieces.
“GROOUUARRRUGHH!” Soon the Daytime Tiger roared as it soon comes towards ifew
“Powwfruvhmmm….” A massive explosion was created from the after effects of Daytime Tiger which was felt a significant distance away. Everyone that watch that feat of display were in almost awe-inspired reactions that Azuma had unleashed something….that insane that stop what even six ponies in Rainbow Forms might not have done? At the end of it all, a faded bunch of magic was seen leaving what was the darken form of Tirek, before slowly revealing it to be…the weaken form of Alternate Tirek again. And standing over the defeated enemy was Prime Clone near a busted giant horn that belong to the enemy. Afterwards, Clone Prime slowly reverted back into being Azuma, as the rest of the group slowly approached him.
“That….Was…AWESOME!” Rainbow Dash slowly spoke off in having seen that which left her to be surprised by what happened even to an even more powered up form of Tirek.
“Heck, ye sure pulled one over de guy’s head.” Applejack smiled off in thanking Azuma for what he just pulled that saved their bacon.
“Yeah, that there kind of strength was CRAZY Good!” Pinkie Pie smiled off to say this with a lot of excitement in having seen what stopped Centaur King Tirek.
“Hmmm.” Azuma held his head from feeling some slight dizziness at the moment from what happened.
“Oh my, you’re not still hurt, are you Azuma?” Fluttershy asked in seeing that Azuma seem like something was wrong.
“No, just….need more practice with that form is all. Had to use up every last bit of strength to destroy that massive size Dark Stone…” Azuma shook his head in stating how what he used, he needs to develop it more as while it did help the gang out, he needs to make sure he is not completely spent out.
“Well, at least it’s over with.” Rarity smiled off to say this in looking on the brighter side of things.
“Wait, what about this horn?” Sunset pointed to see the busted giant horn nearby to notice something.
Suddenly, the giant busted horn was magically transforming that from a bright light, it reverted to take the appearance of…a glowing rainbow color sphere.
“The horn turn into a sphere.” Flash raised an eyebrow in seeing what has happened here.
“Wait…I can feel it.” Starlight Glimmer spoke to approach the sphere to use her horn’s magic to sense what the thing is. “The collected magic in here, it feels like….everything is individual, but merge to be one.” She explained from having understood what this thing was, a collection of different magic formed into one.
“That must be the source of what Alternate Tirek used to take the magic from his own timeline.” Jack Zen stated off in realizing what this was that could explain its strong form of magical energy.
“And now with Alternate Tirek defeated, & detain possible, what should we do with this orb filled with collected magic from another world’s timeline?” Omega asked off in what they should do with the object that is within their grasp.
“All this power…with it, anyone could become so strong just now. No one could stop the one who wields this.” Starlight Glimmer spoke off in approaching to study this magic collection sphere that has so much power, it almost feels…tempting.
Hearing that made those around Starlight feel concern if the reform unicorn was thinking about what they think she will do. However, Starlight did something else as she made the sphere hover near…Twilight.
“But….it wouldn’t be right. This collection of magic rightfully belongs to the creatures Tirek stole it all from.” Starlight Glimmer stated off to honestly say this in knowing that this magic source was not theirs to take.
“Wait, are you saying that….you don’t want the power?” Fila asked a bit surprised, she almost thought giving up such power was not something someone that was so close to obtaining it would do normally.
“What good would having this much power do, I almost lost myself in believing the words of those that said might makes right with power at their side.” Starlight Glimmer sadly was stating this off to look sad about what she believed meant to be true by enemies was a set of lies. “I’m not trustworthy to keep this, therefore, it should be in capable hooves of those that KNOW how to handle it without losing themselves.” She issued off in feeling that Twilight & the others were far better at making sure so much power would not corrupt them.
Everyone around seem to show different responses in seeing that, Starlight Glimmer has truly shown something of being capable of being redeem now.
“Starlight, you are trustworthy & you just showed that you are a better pony by not letting something like this make you give up being yourself.” Twilight approach to pat Starlight’s shoulder to smile this off in giving this words of sincerity. “You’ve just shown many that you have changed.” She issued off that what Starlight has done in not being selfish with so much magic before her proves what she has done.
Starlight Glimmer smiled in having heard this; that was something that made her feel very happy to hear since she was trying to become a better friend.
“It is as Twilight says, Starlight Glimmer.” Celestia spoke off to say this about the pony’s acts of being better.
“You are a better pony than you know.” Luna exclaimed off to say how Starlight is better than she believes.
“Oh, so touching, but maybe we can save this back at Rainbow Castle, shall we?” Discord exclaimed off to say this in feeling that this sort of thing was so touching, that maybe they can save more of it at Rainbow Castle.
“Agreed…” Ben nods off to agree, after finally having things finished here, they can now head on home.
With that in mind, Discord decided to use his magic to just snap his fingers to make everyone here, even a now captured Alternate Tirek be taken away now in a magic poof cloud. With this now settled, the scene begins to fade out now as what will happen next will be a likely closure in the end….

Chapter 04: What's The Alternative Solution?
Chapter 04: What’s The Alternative Solution?
The scene begins to open up within the Rainbow Castle, which outside its walls by the doors…were separate cages with the alternate villains trapped inside. Right now, the alternate villains from the Flim-Flam Brothers, Nightmare Moon, King Sombra, Queen Chrysalis & Tirek along with their own army units were locked up in Anti-Magic proof cages & wearing Anti-Magic Collars to keep those from trying to escape. As we focus in the castle where we find the Mane Six, Ben, Nyx, Phobos, Spike & Starlight Glimmer, along with the Royal Sisters, Goldie’s group, Discord, Flash, Sunset & Azuma, they were having some discussion of what to do with these villains from alternate timelines.
“So, what do we do with all of these villains here?” Rainbow Dash asked off in what they do with the extra set of villains.
“Well them cages & collars outta keep them from causing’ trouble, right?” Applejack pointed off in knowing that the bunch they got sealed up won’t bother much.
“That maybe so, but whoever brought them here will surely try to free them.” Rarity stated in thinking that whoever unleashed villains from alternate timelines may try to free them.
“You know, this makes me recall us capturing a target, but then it got loose. Hmm….what was it, what was it?” Pinkie Pie rubbed her chin to ponder off this subject as if having experienced a similar feeling long ago.
“Twilight, you said you saw them from alternate timelines, right?” Fluttershy asked in being curious about what their smart friend who experienced time travel saw during such a, well, time.
“Right. When I saw those alternate timelines when I was trying to stop Starlight, I reframed from joining the fights because I thought that, if I stopped Starlight, those timelines would never come to pass anyway. But now…” Twilight explained about what she was doing that was supposed to be a better solution to things to fix such problems, but…
“What is it Twilight?” Spike asked in seeing something was distracting the pony now.
“I think I know, now we learn that like an alternate world like EGQ Universe exist as opposite version of Equestria Prime & it’s just like the Mirrorverse. They all share similarities to this one, but different, right?” Pinkamena spoke out to randomly explain the situation of what they were lacking in knowledge until they have recently learn about this.
“Can we say that you’re weird for thinking that?” Phobos pointed off to say this in seeing that Pinkamena is as weird as their Pinkie Pie.
“Oh Phobos.” Nyx rolled her eyes in seeing how her pet pal was replying to such a thing.
“But it’s true, maybe when we tried to fix the timeline from what Starlight Glimmer was changing, perhaps when we experienced that Time Relapse motion, it must have split those alternate timelines as separate worlds that exist outside our own.” Ben suggested this off in thinking what could be the answer of what they have experienced & learn of what could have caused such things to core.
“Is that even possible?” Jack Zen raised an eyebrow in thinking that was much to suddenly expect to be true.
“Based on how Twilight & her family fought an alternate army of villains that Grimmore summoned in the Time Stream, & when they had to destroy the Sacred Time Orb with the Master Sword that had itself covered by many Element User’s magic aura from the shards from the Tree of Harmony, just to stop Grimmore’s action. It’s possible the Time Relapse fix everything, including taking those villains to exist in newly existed worlds across the dimension boundaries.” Goldie stated off in thinking how something must have occurred that when those that stopped Grimmore using the Sacred Time Ob to rule over a multitude of worlds across space, time & reality, when Ben’s group stopped him, it did cause a Time Relapse to fix things, but also made the separate timelines of alternate futures become co-existent as separate dimensions of their own world; it’s very mind blowing.
“Man; that is a mouthful to take it.” Autumn Gem stated off to say this in having heard that much be explained, but hard to follow along.
“Well these villains have caused so much damage, that the Monster Hunting Agency & Radiant Hope & my other self have gone off to see how much damage was done!” Sombra exclaimed to state of what their other friends are doing at this current moment.
“While we’re recovering, there’s more to this topic, isn’t there Twilight?” Starlight Glimmer stated to say this in looking at Twilight who was the most quiet with thought.
“There is? Because the alternate villains still exist & rule their own alternate timelines, it means those worlds are in peril. It’s like what we seen from the Mirrorverse & the EGQ Universe, twice from what they went through.” Twilight explained the case of how from two different worlds apart of their own are experiencing threats that wish to do harm.
“Twice?” Fila raised an eyebrow in having heard this with curiosity.
“There were new problems that occurred in both worlds, including when Twilight received a distress from Canterlot High before learning it was solved that became the third case.” Omega explained this to Fila about such a thing that was to be later explained to the recent new addition to Goldie’s group.
“Now that the alternate worlds exist outside of the fix past of our world, I realize that we may need to return to those alternate worlds & try to help the locals in those timelines. Help heal the damage done, then offer some equipment to help train them to handle other villains & monsters in the future they may yet face.” Twilight explained that they need to do more in order to make sure even separate worlds that live in different timelines of their own can recover from what happened that was likely….the Sparkle & Starlight Glimmer being the cause of their existence as such states.
Everyone was silent in having heard much about this, that what was supposed to not exist has now been separated from being alternate futures; to be alternate worlds separate of Equestria Prime. And if there exist the alternate villains that were never defeated, then the five alternate worlds they came from are living under such harsh & difficult times. They can guess of what types, War against King Sombra, the Changeling Swarm Invasion, Nightmare Moon Ruling In Eternal Night, Discord’s Chaotic Paradise, Flim-Flam Brothers Cooperative Operation, even a Tirek Rampage. The alternate worlds must have surely suffered much lose & many have fallen on hard times, & perhaps….the aid of help might be what is needed.
“Well-well, so now our little band wants to help more than save their world, but five different alternate worlds? That’s a heck of a lot of responsibility for one pony to burden.” Discord stated off to say this in having heard this to be quite surprised by such means to be helpful.
“She’s not really alone though, she’s got a large group of friends to help her out.” Flash smiled off to say that Twilight has a lot of those that can help her out.
“Flash is right, I’m sure that together, they can figure out some way to help.” Sunset exclaimed to say this in knowing that Twilight’s group can do much when they work together.
“We’ll discuss such things later, for now, the important thing is…these alternate villains have been stopped & Equestria is safe from harm.” Azuma exclaim to say this in knowing that while the matter of helping alternate timelines is important, the good side to look back at is how they stop many alternate villains from doing anything to their own world.
“Well, I’m just glad it’s over.” Spike sighs to say this in being glad things could come to a more peaceful resolve.
“Yeah, taking on five villains is hard work. Except for the Flim-Flam Brothers, but you get what I’m saying.” Phobos shrug off to say this in admitting that MOST of those foes were tough to handle.
“Princesses…” Then at this time, someone was entering the council room for all to see, someone that the Mane Six, Spike, Nyx & Ben feel is familiar to them while the others looked at the guy. It was some Royal Guard, a Pegasus with bluish fur color & brown eyes seen, but he seem to be in a strange Blue Royal Guard’s Armor type, with a Greek helmet fashion & has black right shoulder plate-like & a blue cape.
“Captain Rexstrike, how has everything gone.” Celestia smiled off in seeing someone of captain rank has arrived here.
“It goes well your highness, after rounding up the alternate villains, we’ve captured the last stranglers of the bunch.” Captain Rexstrike explained to say this in saluting to the Royals here in going a report.
“Thank you for your duty to aid us, captain.” Luna nods off to say this in having heard what the Royal Guard has achieve.
Now at this moment, Captain Rexstrike looked to everyone in the room before his eyes met with someone here much longer, Azuma. Everyone looked back & forth in seeing the two were staring at the others.
“Azuma, looks like you & the others have been through a lot in the battle I heard you fought hard in.” Captain Rexstrike spoke off to say this in starting a small conversation at the moment.
“Well now, what do you expect when Tirek gave us no choice; still, it’s good to see you are doing well, brother.” Azuma smiled off to simply say this in replying back to the stallion.
“Brother?” Everyone in the room responded to this in surprise except for the Royal Sisters.
“Hold on a second, someone wanna explain what’s going on?” Phobos asked off in not following along what was going on here as if having missed something.
“You two are….brothers?” Fila asked in looking between Rexstrike & Azuma; they are, brothers?
“Twins actually.” Captain Rexstrike corrected off to say this that made the conversation a bit more difficult for those that following along.
“Error, does not compute, Azuma is 100 years old & originated from a tribe that lives in the Badlands while acting out as prime leader to keep his tribe safe.” Omega shook his head in being a bit lost & puzzled in having to absorb such data that he was not familiar with.
“That is true, but have you forgotten what I have done in the past?” Azuma smiled to say this much while reminding those of what he’s capable of doing.
“Wait a second, you mean when you made clones of yourself to go out & learn multiple task to experience the knowledge to built yourself?” Goldie asked off in slowly putting the pieces together to realize what Azuma had done.
“But, how does that fit in with you having a brother?” Autumn Gem asked in being lost about this discussion that she is still not following.
“Because we came from the same tribe, one hundred years ago.” Azuma pointed off to simply say the two came from the same place.
“But you’re an Alicorn, Rexstrike is a Pegasus. So then, how is he...?” Sombra was slowly asking off in how such a thing was possible that the two are related.
“He picked up a spell & I was able to have an expanded lifespan like an Alicorn while not growing old.” Captain Rexstrike simply stated off in how such things became possible from Azuma using a spell to help the guy out. “Still, it’s surprising that some of you don’t remember him from before.” He stated off to look at the Mane Six, Spike, Nyx & also at Ben as if…not recognizing Azuma.
“Before what?” Ben raised an eyebrow in being lost about what the guy was talking about.
“Ben, this was when Twilight, her group of friends & family came for our Annual Foundation, it was when you return during the Demon Pony case.” Celestia explained of the case of when much of such things even took place at such a time. “Back then, I had introduce them both to everyone.” She smile di stating that she introduced Rexstrike & Azuma to the rest.
“But Celestia, the only other pony besides Captain Rexstrike was…” Twilight was about to say something here until…
“This one.” Azuma spoke off before he was glowing in using his Element of Duplication that made a new clone appear, but dress differently. Many saw the clone was a brown unicorn with lone messy mane & tail dressed in a Golden Royal Guard’s Armor with a helmet that had a visor & antenna coming off it while his flank side was covered by a gold cape. And when the clone lifted his visor up, many gasped in surprise for seeing a strangely familiar face that was hidden from view the whole time.
“Commander Azuma?” The Mane Six & Spike yelped in seeing a familiar pony & more surprise to see the one behind such a helmet that hid his identity.
“Woah, this is really shocking! We thought you were just a unicorn when we met!” Nyx exclaimed to say this in being surprised to see Azuma’s clone that was dressed like Commander Azuma from sometime in the past.
“I didn’t even sense any large magic you had back then, I never knew. But how? Why?” Twilight was so puzzled & surprised that she was not sure what to even make much of what she has learn.
“Rest easy Twilight, it was I that asked them to join the Royal Guard to help in keeping the peace. I told Azuma that perhaps to draw less attention to himself, he should cast an illusion spell to keep his wings from sight while having much of his magic lowered down.” Celestia explained in what she did in the past by having Azuma take up a different appearance look from long ago.
“Celestia explain to me that they learn much military experience & decided to bring them aboard, as acting captain & commander. But then the day came when you met Azuma without his Royal Guard disguise & he was able to help you out with the Clone Six agenda.” Luna smiled off to explain the last part of what the group needed to know that happened afterwards that filled in the other details.
“Hugh, so which of you is in higher command? A captain or a commander?” Jack Zen asked off in being curious of not knowing the answer.
“It did not matter, we both had responsibility to perform either way.” Azuma explained this with a serious statement about this was not about who holds higher rank.
“So, which are you more alright doing, tribe leader or commander?” Rainbow Dash asked off in which the guy that makes clones was okay with what important career.
“A bit of both, I’ve learn many traits, Chef Azuma, Artist Azuma, Scholar Azuma, they are all me as what my replicas have each learn & I gain experience.” Azuma explained the matter of what can be explained about having things that allow him to experience different fields.
“Golly, ye can be just about anything’ ye want, hugh?” Applejack raised an eyebrow in being amazed by the guy that has learn to take on many things to learn & experience.
“That’s not true, there is one thing he wants to be. A good leader.” Rexstrike exclaimed to say this in knowing what area Azuma is truly good at being, a good leader to lead others.
“Oh, I see, for leading his tribe & for leading troops & soldiers by teamwork measures, correct?” Rarity exclaimed to say this in following along the topic now.
“Wowl that is something surprising!” Fluttershy exclaimed to say this in being surprised to have learn about this.
“But I bet you do some good stuff too, so you are not to be far behind, am I right?” Pinkie Pie smiled off to mention this towards Rexstrike in thinking about what the guy does so that his achievements can also be noted too.
“You bet, even without powers, I can rely on my resourcefulness & creativity to defeat my enemies.” Captain Rexstrike explained himself in what he can also do in the line of duty. “But I also came here because I heard you used Clone Prime, are you okay?” He turn to his twin brother in asking this question from having heard of Azuma using his transformation to stop the Alternate Tirek.
“I am, it was…a first time field test & it worked out. All it needs is a bit more work.” Azuma nods off to say this with an honest opinion to not cause any harm for worry in using what he did.
“Well, if we think alike, then we each know when the going gets tough, we tough it out.” Captain Rexstrike exclaimed to say this to hold a hoof up for Azuma to tap it as this showed the twin brothers go-getter means to not give in when things can tough.
“Well, this is certainly something you won’t see anywhere else.” Goldie smiled off to say this in seeing a brother moment of those from different careers.
“Yeah, it’s nice that in the end, all is well.” Pinkamena smiled off to say this in how things turn out great in the end.
Everyone was in an agreement before deciding to deuces the alternate villains problem in returning them to their own timeline alternate worlds while coming up with ways to help such a place be helped. The scene begins to darken here as what will happen afterwards will be anyone’s guess here…
Right now, the scene changes from where Twilight & Starlight are walking a bit in Ponyville, just having some normal chat at this time. It’s been decided that with the smart ponies brain power, along with Time Turner’s aid when he comes back from the Monster Hunting Agency to use something that maybe the answer to returning the alternate villains back to here they came from & then think about how to fix the alternate worlds of where such foes came from in ruling or leveling.
“Twilight, where are we going?” Starlight asked her friend out in still being in the dark about something.
“To meet some other friends here I want you to meet.” Twilight smiled off to simply say this without revealing too much.
As the two entered a location near a cafe spot in Ponyville, Starlight Glimmer nearly yelped in who was waiting for them. It was Moondancer, Minuette, Lemon Hearts & Twinkleshine, Twilight’s old friends from Canterlot. Last time Starlight saw those four, she tried to use them in a revenge plot by taking their cutie marks, but that backfired. And now, they may still carry a grudge for what Starlight did to them in trying to get revenge on Twilight.
“Your….friends from Canterlot?” Starlight yelps in seeing the ponies here that she once dealt with before.
“I thought now would be a good time for you to apologize to them for what you tried to do to them.” Twilight stated in what she was trying to do here that would help Starlight out.
“Right….the whole…get the revenge on you by targeting your other friends.” Starlight sighs to look down in depression in knowing what this was about; when she was trying to use Twilight’s Canterlot friends.
“That was then & now you’re different.” Twilight pointed out how the mare was different compared to before.
“Am I?” Starlight Glimmer asked off in being concern about that.
“Yes, you protected us, remember. Now…Go on, they’re waiting.” Twilight tap her friend’s shoulder to not be scared & to go on in there.
Starlight Glimmer swallowed hard before she & Twilight approached the four unicorns, who were surprised to see who else was joining them with worry & concern. Twilight nudge Starlight with a smile to have her speak, before she sighs before taking a breath of fresh air & look to the group.
“Hey, hi….um, I know many of you remember me from…well, that time &…” Starlight Glimmer was a bit out of it when trying to speak to the four ponies, but from the puzzled looks she was getting, the mare sighs to just…get this over with. “Look, I just wanna say, I’m sorry for what I was trying to do to you all. And…I hope you can find it within yourselves to forgive me for what I tried to do. I was wrong &…I was horrible to you.” She apologized straight & honest & true about what she did, & hopes these four can…forgive her.
Twilight’s Canterlot Friends looked to another & back at Twilight who smiles to nod her head in stating that everything was alright. That was more than enough to convince the others that what was pass is pass.
“Hey, it’s okay.” Minuette replied off happily to say this out.
“Hugh?” Starlight yelped in having heard this which caught her off.
“If you’re sorry, that’s fine.” Twinkleshine exclaimed to say if the mare was sorry, then that’s all that matters.
“We forgive you.” Lemon Hearts exclaimed to say this about forgiving starlight.
“But, after what I did, how can you…” Starlight Glimmer was lost, how can these ponies forgive her just like that?
“Trust me, I once thought I couldn’t forgive Twilight from what she put me through, but I was wrong.” Moondancer explained this of in having experienced such things with Twilight in the past. “And it’s better to forgive, forget, & start things anew. Right?” She stated this off in being logical in knowing, it’s better to be happy with friends, then carry a grudge all the time when they wanna make things up to them.
“I…” Starlight looked to Twilight who nods in saying ‘yes’ to the lost mare as she showed a happy face. “Yes….let;s start fresh now.” Starlight exclaimed off in wanting them to start over, this time, as friends, REAL friends.
With that, Twilight & Starlight join the rest of Twilight’s old Canterlot friends for a nice cup of tea as the six were talking about stuff that was more of less related to things that happened recently, etc. As the scene goes dark, at least one thing is sure, Starlight Glimmer’s time on the right path is a slow, but steady pace in where she’ll learn & have friends along the way.

"Alternate Time-Line Fixing: (set immediately "Even Further Consequences") It took a lot of hard work and quite a bit of help (particularly from Sunset, Flash, Starlight, Doctor Whooves, Zecora, Celestia, Luna and Discord), but the Mane Six DID manage to beat the alternate timeline versions of Sombra, Chrysalis, Nightmare Moon, Discord, Tirek and the Flim Flam Brothers. Now, with the further help of Doctor Whooves and TARDIS, the Mane Six return the defeated villains to their own time lines and start helping the locals in each time line start the healing.
