"Well, that wasn't expected. Let's boogy!" Discord as as the ship was piloting to where Levan was going. What they saw was absoultely bizzare, galaxies, star clusters, nebulae, all like an impossibly big cosmic painting.

"Wow! This is so beautiful. So much inspiration!" Rarity said, scribbling on her notepad. It was truly a sight to behold, she had seen nebulae, galaxies and the like. "Wow, even I admit that this is cooler than me!" Rainbow Dash gasped, looking at the clusters of stars.

What came next was that instead of normal space, they saw when they got nearer and nearer to the Orb, it looked more and more like a vortex. Somehow, they stopped unexpectedly. "What in the world!" Discord said as he went back up and all around him, a voice rang out of nowhere. "HALT, traveler! he said.

"To pass this first test, the answer to these riddles three you must say! Be warned, traveler, for each one is harder than the last one."

"Cool, lay it on me." Discord said smugly. "So be it. Riddle 1: Which creature walks on all fours in the morn, upright on the 'noon, and three in the eve." "Well, there are many bipedal races throughout the universe, but the one you are specifically talking about is humanity, Homo Sapiens." Discord said

"When they first learn to walk they crawl on all fours, through childhood and adulthood the walk upright and when they are old, some of them lean on a cane."

"That was just the first one, if you can't answer this one it's luck!"

"Riddle 2: I give you a group of three. One is sitting down, and will never get up. The second eats as much as is given to him, yet is always hungry. The third goes away and never returns."

"Oh, oh! I love guessing games!" Pinkie Pie said as she bounced to an imaginary beat. "Let's see, stove, fire and smoke!"

"Uh, well normally since somebody ELSE answered instead, I would restart the riddle, but since I feel something special in you, I'll let you pass, now. Riddle 3: What always runs but never does walk, often murmurs but never does talk, has a bed but never even sleeps, has a mouth but never can eat?"

"Wow!" Twilight said. "This seems very coplicated, but wait 'has a mouth that never can eat', it is a river, it seems!"

"Uh, very well, you may pass to the second test!" the voice said, letting the ship pass until it reached a gate. "Now, you must solve this puzzle!" the voice said as he conjured up a broken jigsaw puzzle.

"Hmmm..." Pinkie said as she grabbed all the puzzle pieces and put them together with impossible speed until it was built into the shape of a key. "And..." Pinkie put the key into a hole as the doors opened. "You are incorrect."

"Wait a minute!" Applejack said. "Someone's duping us!" Everyone turned back to see another Artificial God behind them.

It was or at least seemed to be cloaked, but they know for certain it was bipedal and had glowing white eyes.

"So you found me, big deal! I, Zurr'Urk am going to get what I wanted for all of my life, and there's nothing that you puny things can do to stop me!" Zurr'Urk laughed and began to fly towards the assumed direction of the Orb.

"After him!" Twilight said as Discord steered the ship towards Zurr'Urk, who, unfortunately is faster.

"Gyahahaha! Your final sight will be my ultimate transformation!" Zurr'Urk said as the ship was thrown to the ground. Discord noticed this and snapped his fingers, teleporting him and the Mane 6 out of the ship to see something very familiar to Twilight.

"Wait, I know this place!" Twilight said. "It's the Astral Plane!" "Indeed, you are correct!" Zurr'Urk said as he floated nearer to the Orb. "After him!" Twilight said. The Astral Plane had secrets that not even Celestia knew about. It was a maze of sorts, and at the center was the Orb. It seemed to have taken hours until finally. "We're here!" Twilight said, seeing the Orb in person.

"Bravo! I thought you were going to spend your lives wandering this place. Now, to finish-" Zurr'Urk was struck by lightning and sent to another realm.

"Wow, we got lucky." Discord said before a being popped into existence.

"NOT SO FAST! he said. When Discord saw the being, he was in complete shock.

"How, I thought you were vaporized, Ugon!" Discord said.

"Well, I think I should explain." Ugon said.

"I was vaporized by the machine, as you saw. But it wasn't truly vaporization. The malfunction was caused by a power surge of electricity and thus, increased my power. It also teleported me here, and the Orb arrived on a spacecraft a few million years later."

"Normally, I would fight you to the death and feed your corpse to a black hole, but since you are one of the scientists, or at least used to be one of them, I'll let you slide, now, get lost." Ugon said as he teleported the group back to Earth along with the Orb.

"Use it well, use it wisely, just leave me alone."

Author's Note

Wow, you didn't expect Ugon, didn't you. I'll edit this later on. Toodles!
