"Our Town" (Neo-Marxist Cult or Communist Town? You make the Call!)
An hour before the incident...

Starlight Glimmer waltzed through her perfect town as she reveled in how well she had done her job of creating true harmony. She never got tired of that feeling. It was intoxicaing. The feeling of being the be-all end-all of this select group of wayward souls. That fool who had decided to leave her the moment he got his cutie mark was of no importance to her anymore. This was enough. Her vision of a perfect world.

She did manage to cast a sour eye on four particular equestrians. These ones seemed to be acting up for no good reason (her town was perfect and that was final). The first of which was Double Diamond. He was, for the most part, complacent, but she would see him use that damn awful surfer slang occasionally. Not normal, in her book. The next was Night Glider. Starlight was pretty sure she was a fillyfooler. Something very forbidden in her town, among other things. The one serving perfect (read: awful) pastries was Sugar Belle. She just didn't appreciate how perfect her cooking was, it seemed. Finally, there was Party Favor. Stupid balloons. She always hated them. Too much static.

Nevertheless, despite these...slight imperfections, she was content with the state of her town. Still, it would be nice to share this town's beliefs further. Maybe even create a harmonious civilization. She heard through the grapevine recently that a princess was living among mere mortals, after all...

Her thoughts were broken when a red light streaked across the sky. Despite the huge smiles on everypony's faces, they too felt intimidated. An unholy screech resounded through the air. Whatever this comet-like thing was, it seemed to spell 'trouble'. Heck, she swore she saw a blimp get cleaved in half by the thing.

"Stand back, everypony. I've got this." Starlight got out her staff. "No creature, big or small, ever lays a claw or something on our town."

Suddenly, the red comet turned tail and flew up high into the sky. It vanished above the clouds, confusing everypony...before it suddenly dive-bombed straight down. With a mighty explosion and several destroyed buildings in its wake, the thing had landed. When the dust had settled, Starlight bore witness to a frightening new sight.

It was a huge silver-metallic dragon with a falcon-like head and the strangest wings she had ever seen. They looked like jet-turbines that glowed with angry-red light and even had some wicked blades attached to them. It looked at Starlight with a mixture of malice and hunger.

"Savage beast! Get out of our town or I shall show you the proverbial door!" Starlight threatened, despite being intimidated by this unfamiliar sight.

"Excuse my Valphalk. He's not of your universe. Neither am I or my assistants, really." A voice spoke as the creature calmed. Riding atop the dragon was a tall cloaked figure. Not a single trace of his actual appearance could be seen. Only his black shroud and a slightly humanoid looking figure could be discerned without a doubt. He got off his saddle and hopped down the ground.

"And whom might you be?" Starlight asked, her staff radiating with intense magic.

"I...am nobody, as far as you are concerned. Or nopony, as you would put it." The figure responded, his male voice smooth and calm. "I have come on a mission. A scientific mission. It's rather important I use this town as my base of operations if I am to conduct such an experiment."

"So...you've come seeking help for whatever project you're drumming up?" Starlight asked. "Well, I guess we can arrange something. You've got to know the rules around this town, first. In song form!"

"NO! None of that! Shame on you!" A slightly cybernetic and much more deep voice yelled in anger. To Starlight's surprise, there were three more figures covered in black cloaks. She took note that one of them was quite large and hunched. And seemingly drooling. Ew.

"Look. Let's cut straight to the point." The figure stepped forth. "You have two choices. Submit and allow us to conduct all that we please here, with you as our subjects...or face our wrath. It's rather simple."

"I get it. You want to take over our town and turn us into slaves." Starlight chuckled a bit. "Keep dreaming. Even with that dragon of yours, you still don't hold a candle to my magic. I've spent years perfecting it! You?"

"Trust me. I won't need my magic or even my Valphalk here to help me gain control here. As a matter of fact, I'm starting rather small by choosing this area. I could have picked somewhere more important like...I dunno, Canterlot? I'm not dumb, though. So, this place is fair game." The figure pointed out.

"What he's trying to say is...you're fucked." One black-cloak guy pointed out. "Better hope we don't have to remove our hoods. Please do. I think I'm chafing."

"And I think you've said enough!" Starlight fired a blast of powerful magic at the lead black cloak guy...only for it to fade away before it could make its mark. "What the?!"

"Like I said." The leader stranger said as he and his "Valphalk" walked away from the scene. "Gigan. Scrapeater. New guy. You know what to do. I'll just wait here alongside Jetstorm while you make yourselves comfortable."

"Finally! The gloves come off!" The talkative black cloak guy exclaimed before the tree removed their cloaks. What they revealed managed to make everypony drop their smiles and gasp in horror. Starlight immediately knew she was in over her head.

"Emissary of Death, GIGAN!"

The talkative one revealed himself to look utterly metal and terrifying at the same time. He was a black and silver cybernetic space chicken, as one would say. Only, he had razor sharp teeth, a visor-like red mono-eye, a small red circle above that, horns and spikes along his back/knees/tail, 3 vertical membranous red folds constituting for wings, hands that were just really thick sickles, a vertical chainsaw for a chest, and a long tail that ended in a wicked spear-like object.

"Emissary of Torment, SCRAPEATER!"

The hunched and drooling figure let out a horrible wail/screech as he revealed himself to be a hulking machine that resembled a beetle in some capacity. His face also had a red mono-eye and sharp teeth, but he also had some mandibles, razor sharp claws, and a pair of bug-like wings. She had remembered this from a book about a neighboring planet, Cybertron. It was a stock Insecticon. Not special like Bombshell, Shrapnel, or Kickback, but still dangerous.

"....."

The other one just revealed another black cloak underneath his original one. He also didn't speak a word.

"Dammit. You're still gonna be like this?" Gigan asked his slightly taller compatriot. "C'mon. This is a team-effort. Why the silent treatment?"

"As a wise Insecticon once said, talking during battle is considered a sign of weakness." Scrapeater pointed out.

"Fair enough, actually." The kaiju (whom, suspiciously, wasn't the size of a building at the moment, BTW), then scraped his sickle-hands against each-other. "You still think you can defeat us, you commie ass?"

Starlight just quickly waved. "Sucks to be all of you guys! Kiss my flank, peasants!" She pathetically said before trying to run off. Suddenly, Gigan teleported right in front of her.

"Running away when things get bad? I know how you feel. However..." He decked her in the neck with the blunt end of his hand, knocking her out. "...I've got a job to do."

"At least, they're not smiling creepily anymore." Scrapeater admitted.

"What...what are you gonna do now?" Double Diamond asked, now free to voice his opinion.

"Can you just let us go? I wanna see my parents again." Night Glider pleaded.

"Apologies, but I would suggest going on with your daily activities in this town only as I set up my laboratory in...that building." The lead black cloak guy pointed to Starlight's house. "Trust me. We will need your services in a moment."

"Whatever the fuck that means." Gigan crossed his arms as he and his teammates followed their leader.

"Wait! Who are you?" Sugar Belle asked.

"Like I said. I am nobody." The leader said as he dragged Starlight behind him. "But I suppose you can call me...The Alchemist."

"Dun, dun, duuuuuun." If Gigan could roll his eye, he would. "Seriously. That felt forced."

"Yeah. I agree." Sparkeater shrugged. "How about you, new guy?"

Once again, only silence was given. "Ugh. They don't pay me enough for this. Then again, I'm betting this is as crazy as it gets. Smooth sailing from here on out." Gigan concluded.

"Did you just jinx us?" Sparkeater asked as the mysterious group entered Starlight's home.

"Maybe. I don't care, really. Let's just get this job over with." The kaiju replied.

Amorous Nightclub (Back at the Plot)
A few minutes after the incident...

Right now, Dustin was trying to think of how many ways this first contact with aliens from another dimension (or universe, if what he heard from the purple unicorn was true) could go wrong. A musical track that causes their heads to explode? Some random "-inite" or "-nium" thing that caused them to weaken or go crazy? Water acting like acid towards their skin?

"Dude. Can we hurry this up along?! Hiding in this car is boring!" Vareoth complained.

"Nah. I wanna see where this goes. Last time I checked, my first words to the pink one over there didn't go so well." Dustin replied. "Oh, shit. I think the purple one said she knows magic."

"What? You mean like standard 'Care Bears' bullshit?" Var asked snidely.

"Probably. Probably not. Just give this a few more minutes, 'kay?" Dustin asked.

"So...your world is like our world, but with magic and dragons and unicorns and shit?" Kane asked.

"Not the way I would have put it but...well, it's a bit more complicated." Twilight Sparkle continued. "We would love to...how can I put this?"

"Take us to your leader." Spike interjected. "No, we're not here to invade. We just got through explaining that. However..." His eyes drifted up to the nightclub's sign. "You don't mind if, tonight or some other night, we visit? There aren't many nightclubs in Equestrian and none in Ponyville."

"First off, I'm pretty sure our president is too busy tweeting his ass off because some guy called him out on his asshole behavior." Kane shrugged.

"It's true! You can't turn on the news without his ugly mug ruining our country." Zenith sighed. "I don't care what he says. You folks seem nice. Welcome to our world." He extended a hand to Twilight. "Nice getting acquainted with you."

"Same here." Twilight replied as she shook. "I'm just glad this meeting is going smoother than I would have thought."

"Can I come and sing the song now?" Pinkie asked from behind.

"Look, we'll check out your town later." Coby said. "I bet it's fun and all, but I just got here and I'm not wasting another opportunity."

Spike, noticing the outfit Coby was wearing, got an idea. "Do tell."

"You curious? Well, cutie..." Coby got a bit closer. "Why don't you find out tonight? Bring your friends! It'll be fun!"

"Annnnd we're done here." Twilight reeled Spike in. "So, in order to further establish a good relation with your world, how about I talk with one of you tonight at this place? Not the first option I would have picked, but you'll be happy to know that my world isn't a stranger to more...carnal needs." She rubbed her shoulder at that.

"Sweet." Zenith stepped forth. "I nominate me. You'll know me when you see me."

"Ooh! I smell a party in the works!" Pinkie's head stretched all the way until it was face-to-face with a freaked-out Kane. "There gonna be cake? Oh, you'll love the ideas I have in store for-"

"Pinkie! Ugh. I'll handle this. See you tonight! I'll tell the others!" Twilight said as she had to pull the two by their tails with her magic.

"OUCH! Do you really have to?!" Spike asked.

"Anything to keep you two in check." Twilight said sternly.

The portal closed, though the tear in space/time remained. It still glowed with an unearthly aura that would sent chills down any regular Joe's spine.

"So...what did we learn?" Zenith asked Kane.

"Magic's real. Cased closed." The saurian replied. "Best case scenario, we have a few more regulars."

"Worst case?" Coby asked.

"We end up dealing with forces beyond our comprehension. But what are the chances that sci-fi/fantasy bullcrap's gonna matter? You heard them when we asked about weapons. They don't have any guns." Kane said.

"Dude. Is it EVER a good idea to underestimate like that?" Dustin butted in.

"For once, I agree with you." Vareoth said as the both of them got out of the car. "As my dad used to say, never trust an alien."

"First off, I think your dad was being racist. Not gonna sugarcoat it for you." Zenith growled. "Second, let's just see where this goes. No use panicking, right? Plus, that Sugarcube corner sounds tasty..."

Dustin couldn't help but think about that lithe purple wingless dragon that accompanied the alicorn (if that's what the purple one called herself). He seemed pretty cute. His thoughts diminished when Vareoth cast a sour look at him, as if he anticipated he would do that.

'Every-time.' Dustin sighed in his mind.

Canterlot Castle (Pretty much wearing a big neon target stating 'Invade Us' to potential baddies)
A few minutes before the incident...

Two guards, Solar Spear and Solar Shield, stood outside the gate of the castle. Their expressions were of that becoming of a guard. Namely, neutrality at its finest. What is really was, however, was just plain boredom. You'd think after Tirek's invasion they'd be glad for the peace and quiet.

"So..." Solar Spear asked his compatriot. "Ever tried suggesting we install some magical shields in case of another attack?

"Nope." Solar Shield replied.

"So...ever wanted to fuck the princess at some point? You should see what she's wearing currently! It's like she wants to get rutted."

"Nope."

"So...what about Luna? She's younger, though a bit more chaste."

"Nope."

"Is that all you're going to say?"

"Nope."

"Try me."

"Nope."

It was at that moment Solar Spear just threw up his hands and gave up when a large shape started forming in the horizon. There was fire and smoke trialing it. To make matters worse, it was getting closer. The skies seemed to darken as it flew through them. An ill omen, indeed.

"Uh, Shield? You wanna explain what the heck's coming our way?"

"Nope."

"Oh, for the love of both Equestria and Cybertron-"

"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARAAARGH!" A loud roar shook the very castle as a stream of flames erupted from the sky, nearly incinerating the two guards. The citizens of Canterlot were in full-panic mode as they ran through the sprawling town.

As Solar Spear sounded the alarm, Solar Shield managed to get a good look at the creature., who had suddenly landed in front of the moat. It was a dragon about as big as three princesses stacked onto each-other. It was covered in large bone-like armor that covered crimson-red skin that burned like embers. It's long tail ended in an axe-like shape and fire lined the spine of it up until the head. Its wings were skeletal, but the membrane that connected the 'fingers' was pure flame. Its skull was also skeletal-like, featuring sharp teeth and some wicked bull-like horns.

"Stand your ground! We have a dragon!" Solar Spear shouted, though he had to wonder. Dragons usually attack from above first. Sure, this one did so, but not as effectively as one should. Why stand as far away from the center of activity as possible?

His question was answered when the beast clenched a clawed fist and made a berserker rush for the gates. Despite the moat being lifted at the moment, the dragon broke through into the town. It practically flung itself through the moat.

On one hand, this meant the citizens had something to truly fear on this very day. A dragon that focused on rampaging on foot and smashing everything in its path with sheer bulk and ferocity.

On the other, Celestia had just gotten word. And, unlike most rulers, she was not afraid to get her hands dirty on the battlefield. Firstly, though, the rest of the guards had to deal with it. Including Solar Shield and Solar Spear.

The beast had a clear escape route or two. Flight or just rampaging through some buildings to get away from the guards, who had arrived with all the spears and magical power they could muster.

Instead, it just turned to the armed forces and let out a roar that managed to knock the first few lines of guards off their feet. If it was a battle the monster wanted, it was a battle it got.

Friendship Castle (Still working the new name)
Present...

"Alright, everypony. I have now officially declared this meeting open." Twilight said as she and the rest of the Mane 6, as well as Spike, sat down. Gilda just leaned against the wall, a bit intrigued but still bored.

"Guess what, guys? We're in a crossover!" Pinkie exclaimed. "Isn't that great?!"

"I dunno. From what I hear, you can find guys like them around Equestria. I mean, not that I wouldn't mind giving there place a spin, but...eh. Could have been better or worse." Dash said.

"Dash has a point. There's no need to be concerned." Rarity said. "We already know there exist other worlds and even universes out there. You taught us that much, Twilight. About the Multiverse, that is."

"Wait, they actually listen to all your techno-babble?" Gilda asked as she walked over to Fluttershy.

"It's hard, but you get used to it." Dash said.

"Can you not?" Twilight groaned. "While Rarity does bring up a point, there's a chance that their world also contains hidden terrors like ours does."

"Doesn't that kinda sound paranoid?" Applejack asked. "I betcha nothin' comes close to what we kicked the flank of back in our day. Or a few weeks, for that matter."

As Twilight retorted about how to not take any chances, Fluttershy felt a tap on her shoulder. "Hey." Gilda began with a cough. "Sorry I yelled at you back then."

"It's fine, actually." Fluttershy replied with a smile. "Dash told me everything. I think you were just going through a phase."

"Yep. She's a keeper." Gilda said. "Wait. How much did she tell you?"

"That she...well, she sort of found you the same way she found me." Fluttershy confessed. "We both were given hope by her when everyone else was acting mean towards us."

"Sure. Yeah, I guess." Gilda said. "Let's just say those assholes weren't bugging me for long." To emphasize her point, she flexed her razor sharp talons, causing the pegasus to cringe. "Relax. I'm fucking with you. Me and Dash just pranked them to holy Tartarus. Shame, too. They were rather cute behind all that bravado."

"Violence doesn't solve everything, but I suppose that was harmless. I think." Fluttershy said. "Still, doesn't this scare you a bit? What if Twilight's right? There are other villains out there?"

"Then we'll send them packing. For this week and probably the next, you've got me on your side." Gilda patted her shoulder. "By the way, before you ask, no. Dash isn't taken. You can have her."

"Eh?!" The butter-yellow pegasus put a hand to her mouth. "It's not like that! We dated for only two months. It just...wasn't working." She sighed sadly.

"Shame. I've seen her. She's got the endurance to pleasure a mare for three nights straight. It's okay. She's not my type, either. We've all got our tastes." The griffoness emphasized.

"Thank you for understanding, Gilda." Fluttershy replied.

"Alright. It's settled." Twilight finished. "We'll make our way to Amorous tonight. Make sure to mingle, but don't do it so overtly. We need to show them that we mean them no harm."

"Pretty sure they already know that." Rarity said.

"I've better bring my best suit there! Trust me! I think you're gonna love it." Pinkie wiggled her eyebrows in a slightly seductive manner.

"I said not to do it over-oh, nevermind." Twilight facepalmed. It was little secret that Pinkie's sex drive was utterly through the roof when it wanted to be. Just like that damn Pinkie sense.

"Sign me up!" Spike agreed.

"Suppose it couldn't hurt." Applejack shrugged. "Just know that any no-good varmit that tries to touch Rares over here get's kicked all the way to the moon."

"What's the matter? Worried some handsome rogue or beautiful temptress will lead me astray?" Rarity teased.

"Oh, gosh darnit." Applejack rolled her eyes before giving her marefriend a kiss. "See you tonight, hon."

"Okay. Operation 'Get Big Mac Away from my Best Friend for a Few Minutes' is on hold." Dash whispered to Gilda.

"Good idea. I mean, look at those legs! I don't need the mental image of you snapped in half haunting me." Her companion agreed, causing Dash to wince a bit.

"Alright. I'll come along too. I'll just...grab something to eat there." Fluttershy sighed. She silently prayed that Dash wouldn't hook her up with any of the patrons. Now was not the time for that. Or ever, evidently.

Suddenly, a certain gray pegasus mailmare crashed through the roof, carrying a letter. "Oops! My bad!"

"Seriously, Ditzy?! Again?!" Dash exclaimed. "That's the fourth hole you've made!"

"Dash! Calm down! This looks important." Twilight said as she helped Ditzy up. "I would suggest, though, a different approach, next time."

"Sure thing, princess!" Ditzy saluted before flying out of the hole.

"Well, what about it?" Spike asked Twilight.

"It's a distress letter!" Twilight exclaimed. "Canterlot is under attack! We have to move quickly!"

"I've got an idea!" Pinkie suggested as she brought out her party cannon. "Everypony hop inside!"

"Well, it was nice knowing you, Dash, but I've gotta jet." Gilda said, not wanting to know where this was going.

"Trust me. I'll live." Dash replied before sticking herself in the cannon along with the rest of her friends, minus Spike.

Pinkie used a plunger to send all of them down before plugging the cannon with her rump. "Ready, Spike?"

"This is a shithead idea." Spike muttered before getting out a match. "Fire in the hole!"

One burnt fuse later, the ponies were sent hurtling into the distance. Pinkie rode atop the body pile as it screamed into the sky.

"So...wanna make out?" Gilda asked Spike, still focused on her dilemma from a chapter ago.

"Sorry. Not into girls, but thanks for asking." The dragon rubbed the back of his head nervously.

"....Damn."

"My Town" (Egomaniacal, much?)
Present...

"So...what now?" Gigan asked as he and his two teammates sat in one of the bakeries.

"That is for our master to decide." Scrapeater held up a finger. "For now, I suppose training and eating will suffice."

"Have you seen the food here? It tastes like shit. Then again, it's subject to change now that tall-dark-and-mysterious took out the leader, if you can call her that." The kaiju admitted.

"W-would...would you like some cupcakes?" Sugar Belle nervously asked as she handed a plate with some awful looking pastries.

"Okay, seriously, there's got to be a way get back your ass tattoos." Gigan said. "Eh. I'm sure the Alchemist is working on it. How about you, new guy?"

Once again, no words were spoken from the cloaked figure. He did, however, give Sugar Belle a tip, earning a smile from her.

"You're paying for this shit? Well, at least that gives SOME hint of what you're like." Gigan said. "The whole silent-treatment thing ain't gonna work in the long run. For now, I guess we'll just have to chillax." He leaned against his chair in boredom.

"Fear not. We shall challenge this planet's strongest, as our master promised. It will be glorious!" Scrapeater clenched his fist. "What did he promise you?"

"Work. That's it." The kaiju replied. "Dunno how I got here, but I got just that. So, that's all that matters. Still. You gotta wonder what he's doing to Starlight in her own home."

"Why do I suddenly feel a feeling of dread creep over me? I don't like it!" The insecticon growled.

"Yeah...me too." Gigan admitted, feeling a chill go over his spine. The New Guy just remained silent as he drank his rancid tea.

As the threesome hung around, Sugar Belle regrouped with the other three ponies mentioned previously. "He tipped me! Nopony's ever done that before!"

"I think I heard a promise to get our cutie marks back!" Party Favor smiled. "Maybe they aren't so bad after all! Kinda wish the chicken guy didn't call them 'ass tattoos' but let's take what we can get."

"I dunno. That Alchemist dude's suspicious as all Tartarus. To day nothing of that robot bug." Double Diamond said.

"Diamond's right. Some random cloaked guy comes riding on a dragon, takes this town for his own, and lets his sinister minions roam about? Standard supervillain plot." Night Glider said.

"Let's just lay low, okay? Just act naturally and maybe, just maybe, he'll do something nice for all of us." Party Favor suggested. "Besides, now that Starlight's gone..." He leaned towards Diamond, giving him a kiss on the lips. "We can have some fun."

"Sure thing, bro. See you guys tonight. We'll just keep watch." Diamond said as he took Party's hand and walked out with him.

"Huh. Didn't see that coming." Night Glider confessed.

"Yeah, I knew those two were close but...nevermind. Aren't you gay, too?" Sugar Belle asked.

"Well, kinda. I'm still figuring that out." The pegasus replied. "Let's just keep watching. You never know what could happen."

What could happen? Well, let's look at how Starlight is doing. As of now, her basement was being filled to the brim with various pieces of arcane lab equipment. Test tubes, forbidden tomes, beakers, jars of corrupted substances, you name it.

"How could you do this?! I created harmony! You're ruining everything!" Starlight yelled at the Alchemist as he finished unpacking. At the moment, she was chained to the wall, wearing only her lingerie. "And why did you have to rip off my clothes?!"

"I'm the one who asks questions. Not you. After all, I am a scientist at heart." The Alchemist replied as he turned to her. "Your words amount to nothing. Your screams will not be acknowledged. The populace here seems to think I've done them a favor. Pretty soon, that notion will increase when I release the cutie marks. Then, my research can truly begin."

"Cutie marks bring disorder and chaos! Equality is the way-"

"As a man of science, I find your worldview repulsive. Variability is what gives us the drive to research and question. Equality just makes the world stagnant and...well, for lack of a better term, boring." The Alchemist said as he got out a vial containing red liquid. It had a cartoonist devil-face on it for identification. "As of now, you will be regulated to nothing more than a side-project of mine."

"What's that?! What do you think you're doing?!" Starlight struggled in anger. "I will not be humiliated by this!"

"Rest assured. In, perhaps, a day or two, you will care not for this trivial thing you call your town. You will feel no shame, either, if my hypothesis is correct." The Alchemist assured as he grabbed her face in a vice grip. "You should be honored. You are the first of many that I shall conduct my studies on. My first test subject in a long time. Now...drink."

He held the opened vial above her mouth, but she had clenched her jaws shut, refusing a single drop. "Pity." The Alchemist sighed before kicking her in the stomach. With a pained gasp, she was left open to the liquid, as it poured down her throat. She was going to spit it out, but her enemy just grabbed her head and shifted it upward, causing it to cascade down her throat.

"If you had not resisted, that would have gone so much easier. Compliance is key to a happy life under my care." The Alchemist chided calmly. "I wonder if the effects of my Incubus vial will be instantaneously. Perhaps it will be slow? Will it give you increased or decreased intelligence? Enhanced speed? Flight? So many questions. However, I know the answer to one..."

"What...what do you-ACK!" She felt a burning sensation in her crotch. Her panties were starting to become wet. Something was causing her to have two orgasms at the same time. She cried out in reluctant pleasure as she came that amount of times. "That's it? An aphrodisiac? I've seen more dangerous stuff back in my Canterlot days!"

"Oh, but you didn't let me finish." The Alchemist chuckled. "That question? Here it is. Will the subject become so complacent that she will soon swear her undying loyalty to me in exchange for what your newly found base desires call for?"

Starlight would have retorted, but she suddenly came again five more times. During the third one, her panties began to stretch. She looked down in panting horror as she felt a new two-foot long appendage stretch her underwear until the panties just fell to the floor. Her clitoris had stretched and thickened into a fully functional cock, just minus the balls.

"The answer...is YES." The Alchemist turned his back to the mare-turned-herm as he slipped back into the shadows of the basement. "I have some notes to fill out. I'll check in with you in two hours. This is already yielding interesting results. It's not often one transforms into a herm from just that amount of formula. Congratulations." With that, he was gone.

"NO!" Starlight looked in horror at her throbbing member. "NOOOO! Get it off me! I don't want a cock! I don't want this! Come back and I'll do anything you say! Hello?! HELLO?!" She suddenly felt the urge to come again as her breasts started to shrink. "SOMEPONY HELP ME!!!"

Nopony would hear her. Not even after she came yet again, her spunk covering the cold now-metallic floor. "Oh, no..." She moaned as she felt another orgasm coming.

Canterlot Castle (Shit's going down, bro!)
Present...

"All in favor of never doing that again, say I." Twilight weakly rose a hand up as she stood up from the landing.

"I!" All but Pinkie agreed.

"C'mon, guys! We're here, right?" Pinkie asked, no worse for wear.

"I would say I broke my nails getting here, but I think I should be more worried if my bones are still intact or not." Rarity said as she dusted herself off.

Fluttershy just kept screaming internally as if the trip here was still going on.

"Don't worry, Fluttershy. Ride's over. Now, we can get to the real action." Dash said.

"Ah think we may have gotten here a bit late." Applejack pointed to the devastation in front of them.

Canterlot, so it seemed, had been turned into a smoldering ruin. There were no corpses, but there were plenty of defeated guards laying all about. Their armor was ruined, some of their bones were broken, and a good few had severely burnt bodies. The buildings looked utterly destroyed and mangled, as well as burnt.

"Damn. Whatever came here really went to town." Dash remarked. "Now, somebody point me in that monster's direction! After Tirek, we can handle anything!"

"Strangely, I'm detecting no signs of death." Twilight commented. "Either everyone evacuated in time or this monster's explicitly making sure he doesn't kill anypony else."

"Nah. I blame it on the ratings system on TV. Then again, we did kinda joss that when Spike started masturbating, so you've got me." Pinkie said.

"I'm rather glad he didn't hear you say that. I'm not even going to ask how you even know that." Rarity commented.

Fluttershy then noticed one of the guards was still conscious, crawling over towards her and reaching out. "Oh my gosh! Are you alright?" The pegasus leaned in, helping him up, despite the heavy armor.

"Rrrrrg..." Solar Spear groaned. "The dragon...it went after Celestia..."

"Rest easy there. We've got this covered." Applejack took over in helping him get back on his hooves.

"Pity." Rarity said. "Celestia's probably made short work on the fiend."

"Hit the dirt!" Dash shouted as a large shape descended from the sky and crashed into the ground.

"It's come back!" Solar Spear screamed. "We're doomed!"

"NOPE! SO MUCH NOPE!" Solar Shield shouted as he limped out of the way.

"It's alright. I've finally found it." A stern and motherly voice said from above before landing as well. It was Princess Celestia herself, decked in revealing, but still powerful armor. Her hand was sizzling with powerful magical energy.

"Celestia! Thank goodness you're okay." Twilight said. "What happened?"

"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRGH!!!" The dragon rose from the hole it had inadvertently created from its fall. It climbed out and spread out its wings to intimidate the newcomers and its newest foe.

"That happened." Celestia simply said.

"Hey, ugly! You came to the wrong neighborhood!" Dash taunted as she quickly flew above him. "Huh. Never seen any dragon like you before. You from Tartarus?"

"GRAGH!" The dragon growled as he attempted to swat at the pegasus, but predictably missed. "Bet you couldn't hit the broad side of Applejack's barn!"

"Don't give him ideas!" Applejack protested.

"Enough!" Celestia spread out her arms, releasing a heat-wave that hit the beast square in the face. This just seemed to annoy it, this time. "Leave now and be spared. Fight and you'll force my hand to end your life before anypony else gets hurt."

"Incredible. A dragon actually going out of his way to challenge Celestia?" Twilight said to herself. "This hasn't happened in Equestrian history since the dawn of her reign."

"Who are you talking to?" Pinkie asked. "And how do you know it's a he?"

"Easy on the monologing, Twilight. I suppose we're going to have to fight for our lives." Rarity said as she prepared a magical orb in her hand. Twilight silently agreed, not only charging up her magic, but also not willing to describe how she just had to take a look at the dragon's crotch armor in order to explain. Too embarrassing.

Fluttershy, while terrified at the monster's hellish appearance, couldn't help but be fascinated by how strong he looked. Still, the desire to help her friends came first.

"Stand...down." Celestia said more firmly to the dragon, who simply stood on his four legs in defiance.

"SONG CUE!" Pinkie shouted as the beast took a step forward, leaving a burning hole in the ground.

"Grrrrrraaarrgg...." He growled before his eyes started to glow. "RAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRAAAGGH!!!" He fired a blast of fire at the entire group, causing an explosion and forcing them to scatter. Already the beast was moving about as Pinkie's prediction of lyrics came to be.

Twilight and Rarity disoriented the beast with magical blasts, while Dash focused on hitting the sides of his body over and over again. Pinkie was also firing her party cannon at his chest, as well as Applejack kicking pieces of rubble at the monster. Celestia was charging up a massive fireball spell as this transpired. She had that much faith in her pupil and her friends to distract and/or weaken the dragon.

Ganging up on the enemy may have been unfair, but, after Tirek, ending a conflict quickly was paramount.

A rush of blood! To my head! Leaves me winded and wanting!
To feel the weakness! In my body! Beaten and crushed like my soul!

As this happened, the dragon just kept taking the damage as he moved slowly through the chaos, covering his face with his claw to no avail. "What's the matter?! Can't take it all?" Dash taunted.

"GRAAAAH!" The dragon roared as he suddenly left his face open to attack and unleashed a fireball that sent Dash flying into the ground. As Applejack prepared a haymaker, the beast slammed his fist into her location, causing their attacks to collide and create a shockwave that knocked them both back a bit.

I walked the streets flirting death, but I never kissed back! I'm so lucky, so cursed, so fucked up!
But that's the way that it goes. Its the ebb and the flow. I wish that I could give you my time...Give you my TIME!

The monster quickly used his tail to slam onto the ground, creating many cracks that threw the entire group off-balance. Twilight used this opportunity to fly into the monster's head and keep hitting him with magical bolts, pushing back his head...

...until he literally headbutted her to the ground and roared to the sky in anger. When he came down, he nearly crushed his enemy, but Dash had zoomed in and got her out of the way.

Seems that Doomsday has come early this yeeeeear! The last angel has gooooooone!!!
I can't remember the last time I cried! The last angel has gone home!

"Nice work on the healing herbs, Flutters!" Dash thanked her friend, who was acting as medic. However, the butter-yellow pegasus was suddenly confronted with the beast's glare. He seemed to be curious as to why a peaceful creature would make her home in a warzone. That didn't stop him from focusing attention on the Princess. "GRAAAAGH!"

The memories stacking up! And they pull at my guts! What do I have to do to end it?!
The better days hacked away! Leaving me only pain! This regret is never ending!

"I hate taking life, but if I must..." Celestia said as she charged her orb to the fullest extent and fired it from her hand. It was as big as the dragon, who just glared at the incoming projectile and punched it, causing a mighty explosion that engulfed him in milliseconds.

But in the blink of an eye, This life passes you by! I wish that I could give you my time...Give you my TIME!

Before anypony could react, he had emerged from the smoke and, with a quick wave of his arm, flung his opposition out of his way. This also managed to shatter the party cannon to bits. Celestia fired a beam of solar energy into his face, but that only gave him the opportunity to grab her by the leg.

To Twilight and other's horror, he began to fling her up and down to the ground with fury. Not even a roundhouse kick from Applejack could stop him until he just threw the princess into a large destroyed building, bellowing "DOOM!"

Seems that doomsday has come early this year! The last angel has gooooooone!!! (ANGEL HAS GONE!)
I can't remember the last time I cried! (Last time I cried...) The last angel has gone home! (ANGEL HAS GOOOOONE!!!!)

"That's it! Time for Plan B!" Dash exclaimed as her wings began to flap at an alarming rate.

"Wait! You're not really going to-"

"Yep." Dash interrupted Fluttershy, who was tending to Celestia's wounds. "A Sonic Rainboom to the chest should do it!"

"That attack's too predictable! He'll dodge and crush us in that amount of time!" Twilight said as she kept firing powerful orbs of magic that the dragon just took like a boss. Speaking of him, he didn't seem to want to do anything until this attack came into fruition.

"Alright. He's clearly asking for it! Time to deliver!" Dash declared before zooming off into the distance.

I can't remember....I can't remember....I can't remember the last time I cried!

"Hurr?" The dragon looked confused...before a streak of rainbow-light came rushing towards him, blowing our heroes and various pieces of rubble away. "GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAGH!!!" The dragon roared as his toe-claws dug into the ground.

"Give...Up...already!" Dash gritted her teeth as the power of her rainboom was forced to increase.

"You can do it, Dashie!" Pinkie waved as she and the others held on for dear life. Eventually, the dragon's chest cracked, causing him to roar in pain as rainbow light emitted from his mouth and eyes. "RAAARAAAAAAAGH!!!"

With the usual rainboom explosion, the beast was sent hurtling into the sky, roaring in defiance as he became nothing more than a twinkle. Thus, the song ended.

Seems that doomsday has come early this year....The last angel has gooooooone!!! (ANGEL HAS GONE!)
I can't remember the last time I cried!!!! (Last time I cried...) The last angel has gone home!
THE LAST ANGEL HAS GONE HOME!!! (ANGEL HAS GOOOOOOOOONE!!!)

The dust settled. Celestia and the others, while bruised and battered, weren't seriously hurt. Dash, on the other hand, had fallen to the ground, burnt and utterly exhausted.

"...How?" Dash muttered. "I mean, I won, but he just...he just took it for a good few minutes."

"I too wonder where that dragon came from. He was mightier and bolder than any mere wild animal I have faced in my lifetime." Celestia admitted.

"It's probably stupidity." Rarity confessed. "There's a difference between being brave and being simply idiotic."

"Whatever the case, that battle drained us of much power." Twilight rubbed her head as it ached from the severe amount she had to use.

"I'm sure he just needed a talking-to. A stern one, yes, but talking nonetheless." Fluttershy said as she helped Dash up.

"I shall look into this as I help with rebuilding Canterlot." Celestia said. "I fear that the dragon may have come from Tartarus itself. It would explain its demonic appearance. For now, I think establishing relations with that new world that opened up should be left to you."

"Understood, Celestia." Twilight said. "If he ever returns, just call us."

"NOOOO! You were taken before your time!" Pinkie mourned the loss of her cannon as her mane started to glow golden and she started shaking uncontrollably. She was about to scream as a surge of power came to her...before she went back to normal. "Oh, well! I'll just make a new one!"

"...Let's just go home." Applejack said.

"Yeah. I'm bushed. See you tonight." Dash said as she wobbled off the scene. "Scale of one to ten. How bad was he?"

"I'd say...7?" Rarity suggested.

"11?" Fluttershy added.

"Yeah, 7 sounds good." Dash agreed.

Twilight felt a bit uncomfortable about leaving Celestia and the rest of the populace here to pick up the pieces of this attack, but she supposed they knew what they were doing. She made a mental note to assist immediately when her mission was done. Right now, there were only 4 hours until the time came.

The time for, as Pinkie would put it, this crossover to truly get started.

"So..." Solar Spear asked his partner. "You wanna just label this as nothing but a boredom-induced hallucination?"

"Let me think about that...nope." Solar Shield replied. With that, Solar Spear groaned and facepalmed.

To Be Continued...

Author's Note

Well, that just happened. An alchemist OC, his Monster Hunter XX dragon, a Godzilla kaiju, an Insecticon OC, and some silent guy just took center stage as the main villains.

For those wondering about the new dragon that attacked Canterlot, here's a good visual (Cherrera's honor: https://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/the-rp-fear/images/6/6a/Demon_dragon_by_cherrera_ilustrador-d3ggk65.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20140607040143). Trust me. That's not the last we see of him.

Not gonna lie, I really hate the whole redemption of Starlight Glimmer for how poorly executed they did it. I like seeing villains realize the errors of their ways, but I think almost every MLP critic has said it best. Basically, Apple Bloom handled her cutie-mark related troubles with far more dignity. Also, she didn't become the Rodimus Prime to Twilight's Optimus (mainly, stealing the spotlight every-time).

Up Next: At last! A night on the club! Beware. Gigan, Scrapeater, and the "new guy" have also arrived...
