My Little Pony From One World To Another And Back! by NickClash BCommander

"So these human creatures are real and they're actually aliens from another world?" Queen Chrysalis, the queen and leader of the Changeling race asked the same two changelings that had left for the Changeling Hive before. Chrysalis had a very similar appearance to the rest of her fellow Changelings, only she had a horn and unlike the other Changelings, she actually had normal eyes like the ponies had instead of the insect-like ones that every other Changeling had. "And they were able to both defeat and control wild Timber Wolves, too?"

One of the two Changelings nodded. "Yes, my glorious Queen. As you can see from these newspapers that were just recently released, this is no joke," one of the two Changelings replied.

"Hmm. Then, these so-called 'human beings' might just be of some use to us. Now, I just need you to capture them and bring them to me!" Chrysalis said.

"Don't worry about that. Before we reported this to you, we immediately ordered some of the best Changeling recruits that we have to get them. They're on their way to Ponyville as we speak!" the other Changeling informed Chrysalis. "Unfortunately, getting to the humans won't be easy. According to the newspapers, the 8 humans are currently under the watch and protection of the Elements Of Harmony!"

Chrysalis seemed a bit angered to hear that last part as she and her Changelings held a huge grudge toward the famous 8 ponies due to them partly being responsible for thwarting her last attempt to take over Equestria and suck its citizens dry of their love. She had come so close to doing it during the royal wedding that was between Princess Cadence and Twilight's brother, Shining Armor. It made her blood boil just remembering that humiliating defeat that she and her fellow Changelings had endured after they had all been forcefully expelled from Canterlot and sent flying all the way back into the BadLands by Cadence and Shining Armor! Ever since that day, Chrysalis had vowed that the next time that she crossed paths with those stupid ponies, she would get her revenge!

However, that day was not today and right now, Chrysalis couldn't let her emotions and lust for vengeance distract her from getting the 8 humans captured and brought before her. She knew that if they really could defeat and control Timber Wolves, then these humans were definitely the key to getting her and her Changelings' way!

After snapping back to reality and regaining her composure, Chrysalis smiled and spoke, "Very well. If the humans are with the Elements, then we'll just have to wait awhile until the right moment comes and those Changelings that will be temporarily stationed in Ponyville are ready to make their move! The Elements and the humans can't stay together forever and it is only a matter of time until they become careless and let their guards down and when they do, my Changelings will move in, catch all the humans and send them to me!"

"I can already taste all that sweet, delicious love of all the ponies of Equestria that we'll all be feasting on very soon!" Queen Chrysalis announced as she laughed evilly to herself. "And the princesses and Elements will fall and I will take my rightful place as the new ruler of Equestria!"

The same time that day, at Applejack's farm, the Elements, Spike and the 8 humans were now eating a huge and delicious feast with Applejack's family. After what happened earlier with the humans not getting a proper meal, Twilight and her friends had apologized to the group of 8 humans for not making enough food for them that was edible to them and so Applejack had then proposed and insisted that they all come over to her place to eat instead. Applejack's family was very kind and honest like her and she knew that her family wouldn't mind sharing some of their food with her friends and the 8 humans if she told them what had happened first, which is what she did.

The party of 8 humans couldn't believe how big Applejack's family was! Her family was so big that the only ponies that they really noticed and remembered were Applejack's older brother, Big Mac, then there was Applejack's and Big Mac's paternal grandmother(who is a light-green, elderly Earth pony with a white mane and tail and lastly, Applejack's and Big Mac's little sister, Apple Bloom who is a young, Earth pony filly with a red mane and tail and yellow fur.

When not looking at and speaking to Applejack's family, the 8 humans were helping themselves to first, second and (for Tony, Michael and John) even third helpings of all the delicious apple-based foods on the table in front of them like apple dumplings, apple cider, apple pie, apple sauce, apple fritters and pancakes with maple syrup! While their was still no meat for the humans as the ponies were herbivores and didn't eat meat, the humans were still enjoying their sweet and tasty meal and they were all full and satisfied again in no time!

After the 8 humans, Spike and the ponies were all finished with their meal, John and the other 7 humans finally noticed the strange markings on all of the ponies' flanks, excluding Apple Bloom, who's flanks were both blank. John and the other humans then asked Twilight and her friends why they had what looked like tattoos on their sides.

At first, all the ponies were silent as they didn't know what a tattoo was or had even heard the word 'tattoo' before either. But after a moment, all the ponies realized what exactly that the humans were referring to. Twilight then explained to the 8 humans that in Equestria and beyond, these images on their flanks are called, 'Cutie Marks'. Cutie Marks represent what everypony's special talent is.

Ned then asked why didn't Apple Bloom have one. Twilight then replied that ponies aren't born with Cutie Marks, but rather they magically appear on them as soon as they discover their special talent and ponies like Apple Bloom didn't have one because Apple Bloom hadn't yet found her special talent yet.

The 8 humans were having a hard time understanding the concept of these 'Cutie Marks' just suddenly appearing on ponies flanks only and whenever they discovered their special talent. Plus, no one or in this case, nopony should let some silly image on their sides determine what they could do and what they were good at.

The 8 humans decided to let these thoughts go, but before they could ask anymore questions, Pinkie Pie then asked why hadn't they ever heard of Cutie Marks before when Tony had one of his own on his right arm? This caused the other ponies to finally notice Tony's tattoo and they all gasped in shock and fear to see that it was an image of a burning skull!

The ponies all backed away a bit from Tony as they all tried to figure out what Tony's supposed Cutie Mark, but every idea that entered their minds made them even more nervous as they all knew that skulls were almost always associated with death! "You have a skull-skull as your-your Cutie Mark!?" Fluttershy asked Tony as she stuttered on her words.

"Correction. This is an image of a skull on fire!" Tony replied. "And no! This is not another one of your fucking and crappy Cutie Marks!"

"It's not!?" Twilight demanded. "But then, what is-"

"We call these 'tattoos', Twilight," Ned explained. "And in case you're wondering, no, they do not have anything to do with our special talents! We humans, don't use our tattoos or have any Cutie Marks to tell us what we're good at! If we want to be good at something, we just have to practice until we get better at doing it, just like everyone else on our world!"

"Oh," Twilight said. "I guess that makes sense."

"But then, why do humans like Tony have these 'tattoo' things in the first place? It seems kind've pointless to have them if they don't have some important reason or purpose," Rarity asked. "So how do you get these tattoos? Do they just magically appear on you like Cutie Marks do on us ponies?"

"Are you fucking kidding me!?" Tony shouted. "What we do is have some guy poke us on our skin with a needle that leaves a little ink underneath our skin and wait awhile and afterwards, you permanently have one of these bad boys on your body for life! Getting mine was great!"

"Hold on there, sugarcube!" Applejack asked. "You're telling us that in order to get these tattoos, you have to keep getting poked by a needle for who knows how long!? Doesn't that hurt!?"

"It sure did, but I'm no wimp!" Tony replied.

"You sound like you actually enjoyed it!" Twilight spoke.

"I did, but I've been through a hell of a lot worse than that!" Tony answered.

"Okay, then" Twilight said, as she, her friends and Applejack's family were becoming too uncomfortable about the concept of tattoos, how humans got them and how Tony was telling them about his experience of when he got his to continue asking him or the other 7 humans anymore questions about them.

Before anyone or anypony could say anything else, two young fillies like Apple Bloom appeared. One of them was a young, orange, Pegasus filly with a pinkish-purple mane and tail. The other filly was a young, white, unicorn filly with a light purple and semi-dark purple mane and tail. Both of these new ponies looked to be the same age as Apple Bloom.

"Who are these two?" John asked Twilight.

"The orange one's name is Scootaloo, a close friend and loyal follower of Rainbow Dash. The white one's name is Sweetie Belle, Rarity's younger sister," Twilight revealed. "They're both Apple Bloom's friends and they along with Apple Bloom, call themselves 'The Cutie Mark Crusaders'!"

"Why is that?" Michael asked.

"Because like Apple Bloom, they also don't have their Cutie Marks yet. So they formed The Cutie Mark Crusaders in an attempt to help themselves and other ponies like them get their Cutie Marks," Twilight explained.

"Yeah and I feel like we're getting closer to getting ours everyday," Apple Bloom spoke as she said hi to her friends and introduced them to the group of 8 humans. After the 8 humans told the Cutie Mark Crusaders their names, Scootaloo spoke in a very excited voice, "So you're the amazing human creatures that we've heard about, huh? Until now, I thought all those rumors about you were just some silly stories, but after just meeting you now, I don't think I'll doubt another pony's word ever again!"

"And you're a brand new and mysterious species that ponies know little about, too! There's so much that Equestria and all of Equis will want to learn about you! Everything about you and your race that we learn will be written down in history books and kept in historical archives! That gives me a great idea about what us Cutie Mark Crusaders can do next to try to get our Cutie Marks!" Sweetie Belle chimed in.

"CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS HUMAN HISTORIANS!" All three Cutie Mark Crusaders shouted out together in unison.

Realizing what the Cutie Mark Crusaders were planning and knowing that the humans didn't want to be bombarded with a million questions at once, Twilight stopped and said, "Now, girls, let's not get carried away. You can't just ask somepony a bunch of random questions at once. That would just be rude and make them feel very uncomfortable. Besides, me and my friends have already learned some interesting things about the humans and if you want, later, I'll tell you most of what we learned from them."

"Most? Why not everything?" Apple Bloom asked.

"There's some stuff that is a little too personal and sensitive about the humans to talk about with 3 young fillies like you. Let's leave it at that," Twilight replied.

"Oh, darn it!" Scootaloo complained.

"Alright. Fine. You win, Twilight!" Apple Bloom spoke in defeat. "But the next time, you or anypony else learns something new about these humans, we want to know everything!"

"I can't promise that, Scootaloo, but you and the other crusaders are more than welcome to spend some time with the humans if you want," Twilight answered.

"Hey, Twilight! I know something that I can share with her and her friends!" Gary said as he opened his backpack and began to search around for something inside of it. "And I think that you're all gonna like it, too!"

Gary then pulled out his DVD player from his backpack, which he had forgotten about as well as all the other stuff inside this entire time along with the movies and DVD cases of Shrek, Zootopia and The Lion King. The ponies all stared at the DVD player and the front covers of the Shrek, Zootopia and The Lion King DVD cases as they didn't know what to think of them.

"These are movies!" Gary told the amazed ponies as he pointed to the DVD cases with the actual movies inside of them.

"We know what movies are. We have movies that are in black and white in theaters, but those don't look like movies to us. They're just pictures," Rarity replied.

"That's where this comes in!" Gary spoke as he pointed to the DVD player. "We call this a DVD player. It allows me and other humans to watch movies on it."

"But where's the movie projector like the ones they use in the theaters?" Twilight asked. "You need one to show a movie."

Gary didn't answer Twilight's question and instead, opened the Shrek DVD case, pulled out the DVD inside and placed the Shrek movie into the DVD player and turned on the DVD player. Immediately, Gary's DVD player turned on and started showing trailers for different movies. The ponies all gasped at what they were seeing and hearing.

They gasped again when Gary pressed the skip button on the DVD player until the actual movie started and the movie opened with Shrek reading the book in the first movie, before he ripped the page out of it and made his first appearance as he stepped out of his outhouse. Shrek then looked around his swamp for a brief moment before he did his regular routine, made dinner and the villagers came to his swamp and tried to capture and/or kill him.

The ponies were speechless the entire time as they stared at the movie on the screen with curiosity and interest. They were startled when Shrek scared the villagers away with a loud scream. Though, they were somewhat amused when Shrek just told them to go away and they did, despite them hearing and seeing that Shrek wasn't really a dangerous and hostile ogre afterall.

The ponies became even more transfixed by what they were witnessing and by the time Shrek and Donkey rescued Fionna from her captivity in the castle and the dragon, they were practically glued to the screen! It was quite clear that they were really starting to enjoy the movie and love Shrek and all the other characters.

Gary then stopped the movie, took out the Shrek movie and put in The Lion King. Gary quickly pressed the main menu button, then played the movie.

Like Shrek, the ponies were quite captivated by The Lion King and all its characters and events. They did find the hyenas to scary and when the infamous stampede scene started, all the ponies were hoping that Mufasa would rescue his son in time and that everything would turn out okay. Of course, it didn't. As always, Simba survived, but Scar betrayed Mufasa and sent him to his death as he was ran over and killed by the stampede of wildebeest. Simba then cried after finding his late father's lifeless corpse before Scar appeared next to him and convinced the young cub that he was responsible for his father's tragic death before he told him that he must leave the Pridelands forever and never come back. After Simba escaped from the Hyenas, left the Pridelands, nearly died in the desert and was rescued and raised by Timon and Pumbaa, the ponies felt like they were riding a roller coaster!

"Scar, you-you big meanie!" Pinkie Pie spoke angrily as she watched the scene where Zazu was being held captive by Scar back in the now desolate and barren Pridelands. "You're nothing, but a liar, a bully, a murderer and a tyrant!" Pinkie then stuck her tongue out towards Scar on the screen to show her huge dislike and hatred for the Disney villian.

This time, Gary let the ponies watch the entire movie as he always hated Scar, too, for what he did and he knew that if he stopped the movie now, the ponies would just tell him to let them see the rest as they would want to see how the movie ended and if Simba would find out the truth, return to the Pridelands, defeat Scar, take his place as the new king of the Pridelands and give the movie a happy ending like it deserves. That, of course, was exactly happened and the ponies were both terrified by Scar's brutal death by the hyenas he had betrayed and at the same time, happy to see him get what he deserved, even though being mauled to death was a terrible way to die even for a big baddie like Scar.

After the movie ended, it got it's happy ending before the movie went to the ending credits and Gary Turned off the DVD player and put the Lion King DVD back in its DVD case. Then, Gary placed both his DVD player and the Shrek, Zootopia and The Lion King movies and their DVD cases back into his backpack. Suddenly, the ponies began to cheer for the Shrek and Lion King movies! "That...was... SO AWESOME!" Rainbow Dash shouted. "Not nearly as awesome as me, of course, but still pretty cool!"

"I'll say! Scar went too far! He also made the terrible mistake of betraying his own minions and trying to place the blame for all his crimes and unforgivable actions on them!" Applejack agreed. "But aside from Scar and the hyenas, there was so many other things that I really liked!"

"I like the other movie more," said Spike. "It had a dragon in it! A DRAGON! I don't know about you, but when's the last time that there's been a dragon in any movie in Equestria!?"

Twilight then turned to face Gary and spoke, "What you just showed us was incredible! Unlike all the black and white movies that we ponies go see in theaters, not only were those films in color, but they looked amazing and that first movie was done in a new style that we've never seen before! Not to mention, there was no movie projector either!"

"Well, that's the beauty of modern day technology back on Earth!" Gary replied. "We have all sorts of different kinds of movies for everyone. We got cartoons for the kids and more mature series and films for teenagers and adults so that everyone's happy. And with newer technology, my race can make shows and movies that look so realistic, that you might actually think they're real! And that's just movies and tv shows! If you thought that was amazing, then there's much more about us and our world than that that'll make you love humans even more!"

"Like what!?" Twilight begged. "Please tell me! There's so much that I want to learn about you and your race!"

"Well, there's video games that you can play at home and wherever you go! Then, there's the invention of Fast Food restaurants like McDonald's, Subway, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, Jack In The Box where you can go inside and the food will already be ready for you not long after you make your order and pay for your food or you can just go into what we call a drive-thru, make your order, pay for your food and pick up your food, which is why we call it fast food!" Gary told Twilight. "There's also malls, amusement parks, grocery stores, libraries-"

"Libraries!?" Twilight asked excitedly, feeling like she had just won the jackpot.

"Yes. We have libraries like you do filled with just about every book that you can think of," Gary replied. "But we have computers now, so not as many people go to the libraries anymore as much as they used to as people on my world can just use devices that we have called, 'computers' and 'smartphones' and look up whatever we want on them instead."

Twilight was about to ask Gary more questions when suddenly, everyone and everypony heard a bunch of different voices heading towards them! Turning towards the entrance to Applejack's farm, 'Sweet Apple Acres', Twilight, her friends, the group of 8 humans and Applejack's family all gasped in surprise and horror to see a large group of ponies galloping over to them!

But what really bothered everyone and everypony was the fact that all the approaching ponies were carrying cameras and microphones with them, too! "Oh, no!" Twilight thought out loud. "Newsponies at 2 o clock!"

"But why would so many of them come here!?" Rarity said.

It was then that the ponies, dragon and humans all knew the answer to that question. "Uh, guys," Twilight said to the 8 humans. "I hope you don't mind crowds because it looks like your gonna be answering a lot more questions!"

"Oh, great!" Tony complained sarcastically. "More crappy and annoying ponies that want to ask us questions! Just what we need!"

The Elements Of Harmony, Spike and Applejack's family tried their best to block the mob of growing reporters, but they were quickly outnumbered and there was little that they could do to stop them from reaching the humans and placing speakers and microphones right in front of their faces while asking them countless questions while other newsponies were taking many pictures of them! "I always wanted to be famous, but not like this!" Alice admitted as she and the other 7 humans tried in vain to make the reporters leave them alone!

"Look at the little human creature! Judging from it's size and appearance, it must be a kid!" a gray, unicorn, newspony spoke.

"Well, that kid happens to be my little brother!" Gary defended Eddie. "I don't care what you do to me, but if you do anything to my brother, you'll be-"

"We heard that you were aliens! Is it true that you came here to invade Equestria!?" another newspony asked.

"What!? No! That's not true!" John replied. "Only the part about us being aliens from another world is true!"

"Are you a new previously undiscovered species of monkeys or minotuars!?" yet another newspony asked.

"No!" Tony yelled as he forced a few speakers and microphones out of his face. "Fuck you all, you dumbass ponies!"

"What does fuck mean!?" a fourth newspony asked.

The 8 humans then demanded to know how all these newsponies knew about them and that they were in Ponyville in the first place. One of the newsponies then showed the humans a copy of the new newspaper from Canterlot and the 8 humans, the Elements Of Harmony, Spike and Applejack's family all gasped in shock and horror as they learned that not only did all of Equestria now and beyond know about the humans' existence and what happened in Ponyville in the last couple days, but also that a newspony had secretly been stalking the humans since the night that the humans and the ponies had fought and defeated the Timber Wolves until they left to get the pictures that they had taken of the humans to get developed before they reported everything that they had heard and seen about the humans to the newspony's company in canterlot!

"A pony watched us and reported us to the local news place without our knowledge or consent!? That is so rude and unfair!" Claire yelled, just as furious as the other humans that a pony had the nerve to do something like this to them. "That's a huge violation of our privacy and our rights! You can't treat us like this!"

Tony and the other humans were seriously pissed off by this point and things were about to get ugly! But before the 8 humans could pick a fight with the newsponies, they all heard yet another new voice as this time, they all turned to see a golden-furred, unicorn, stallion pony with a black mane and tail and wearing a fancy outfit approach them. The newsponies and Twilight and her friends instantly knew who this new pony was!

"Gold Nugget, one of the richest ponies in all of Equestria, what are you doing here!?" one of the newsponies asked before he and some of the other newsponies took some quick pictures of him.

Gold Nugget just ignored the newspony's question and spoke, "That human is right. You can't treat her and the other humans like that!"

"But they're the biggest thing to happen in Equestria in years! We have to!" another newspony shot back.

"Well, sorry to disappoint you, but I'm with the humans on this one. They'll be no more forcing all those speakers and microphones in their faces while you swarm them with your cameras and absurd, countless and annoying questions!" Gold Nugget shouted.

The 8 humans were beginning to like Gold Nugget. He appeared to be on their side and was going to get all these annoying newsponies off their backs! 'Looks like we got nothing to worry about!' Ned thought with a smirk on his face.

"And the reason for this is because I'm buying the humans and giving them all to my daughter, Ruby, as a surprise present for her upcoming 8th birthday in 2 weeks and I need them in good condition for when I give them to her!" Gold Nugget announced.

Duh! Duh! Duh!

Pinkie Pie then turns to the readers as she breaks the 4th wall and says, "Sorry! I just had to do that! That was a very unexpected twist and dramatic moment in this chapter afterall!"

Everyone and everypony else didn't hear what Pinkie said as they're either too focused or shocked about what is happening to notice. The 8 humans can't believe what they had just heard! Them!? A birthday present!? For this rich pony's soon-to-be 8-year old daughter!?

Gold Nugget sees the shocked and worried expressions on the 8 humans faces. "You'll love Ruby! She gets bored easily and it's gotten so hard to keep her happy, even though I've bought her some of the best and most expensive toys that money can buy! But there's no way she'll get bored of you! You'll make good playmates for her! She might make you play tea party and dress up in fairy princess outfits with her, but after awhile, you and her will get along nicely!"

Now the 8 humans were becoming very nervous and worried as they realized that Golden Nugget buying them and giving them to his daughter would be 10 times even worse than anything that all these newsponies could do to them! "Oh, crap! This is getting scary! How could things get any worse!?" Michael freaked out.

"Nopony move!" everyone and everypony heard a tough voice as they all turned to see a few dozen ponies wearing black uniforms and black glasses that covered their eyes!

If Gold Nugget's unexpected appearance really caught everyone and everypony off guard, then these new ponies were a much bigger deal! "The Equestrian Bureau Of Investigation, what the hay are you doing here!?" Gold Nugget demanded, just as shocked as everyone and everypony else was about them!

"Just call us the EBI, Mr. Gold Nugget!" a EBI pony said with a nametag on his suit that read, 'Agent Classified'. "And as for why we're here, it's the same reason you're here, too! By orders of the Equestrian Government, we must immediately take the humans into custody and have them studied...er, uh, I mean interrogated to make sure that they're not a threat to Equestria and the rest of Equis!"

"I was here first!" Gold Nugget yelled.

"No, we were!" one of the male newsponies argued as he and all the other newsponies forgot about the humans and began to protest against Gold Nugget and the EBI that they got to the humans first.

"We received our orders straight from the top! We're not asking you to give the humans to us, we're telling you to give them to us!" Agent Classified spoke.

The 8 humans really didn't like where things were going now. First they're being swarmed by a mob of out-of-control newsponies! Next, some rich, stallion pony wants to buy them and give them as a birthday gift to his 8-year old daughter to be used for whatever embarrassing or ridiculous things that she wanted! And now, they got the Equestrian Government itself here and wanting to take them away to who knows where to be subjected to all sorts of tests and experiments, while being asked many questions, only for it stop when they would be locked away in some dark, cold and empty cell where they would repeat this process everyday and probably never see the sun or breathe fresh air ever again!

'What's next!?' John thought as he and the other 7 humans were beginning to panic.

"None of you are getting the humans!" everyone and everypony heard as they yet again turned to see dozens of more ponies approaching them, only they were all wearing either lab coats or green jackets with pictures of animals on them and they were being led by a 64-year old, green, unicorn mare with a gray and white mane and tail, who was wearing a similar scientist outfit like the other ponies with her in their scientist-like outfits.

"Three Leaf, the leader of the Equestrian Organization Of Protected Species, what do you want!?" Agent Classified cried out. "If it's about the humans, then forget it! As the EBI, we have special government authorization, which states that we-"

"Just call us the EOOPS for short, Agent Classified," Three Leaf replied. "As for your latter question, then the answer is yes! We have come for the humans, but not for any of the sick and selfish reasons you, Gold Nugget or all these terrible, rude and inconsiderate newsponies have for wanting them!"

"Hey! I'm not selfish or terrible!" Gold Nugget shot back. "Try living with my daughter when she's not happy! It's not fun!"

"Yeah! And we're not rude or inconsiderate!" one of the newsponies defended. "It's our job to ask ponies questions and get all the facts! What do you expect!?"

"And as for you Agent Classified and the EBI, me and my organization know what you and some of the higher-ups in the Equestrian Government are planning to do to the humans and me and the rest of the EOOPS will not stand for it!" Three Leaf told Agent Classified. "As of now, the humans are under the protection of the EOOPS!"

"The EBI outranks you, Three Leaf! Even you have to comply with our rules and orders! Any interference by lesser law enforcement and other government agencies is-" Agent Classified argued.

"Usually that would be true, but according to a clause in Section 18 of the Equestrian Constitution, the EOOPS is allowed to interfere in government affairs in the event of a new and undocumented species, which includes aliens, for future pony knowledge and historical archives," Three Leaf told Agent Classified. "Basically, we're making the humans a protected species and as such, you can't take them and they must be treated with the utmost care and respect."

"Equis, to Three Leaf! According to the new newspapers from Canterlot, the humans said that there's more humans back on their world! These humans aren't the last of their kind nor are they an endangered species at all!" Agent Classified reminded Three Leaf. "These are intelligent, living beings like us, not some wild animals that you can just put in cages or place in a zoo!"

"You're the one to talk, Classified! If I'm correct, then weren't you and the EBI gonna lock them away in cold, dark cells for the rest of the lives when you and the EBI weren't subjecting the humans to countless painful and immoral tests and experiments!?" Three Leaf shot back. "Anyway, we're not gonna put them in a zoo or lock them in cages. These humans may be aliens, but they have the same rights as we ponies do and I refuse to let you have them!"

"Does that mean you'll help us get back home?" Eddie asked Three Leaf.

"I'm sorry, young one, but this is the first time aliens have ever come to Equestria! Until now, we never even knew about your world or race before!" Three Leaf informed Eddie. "Even if we knew exactly where your world is, not even the most powerful teleportation spell could send you and your friends back home!"

Eddie was about to say something else, but Three Leaf beat him to it. "I'm sure that with time, somepony can figure out a way to return you all safely back to your world," Three Leaf spoke. "But until then, you'll have to come with us!"

"What for!? Are you gonna dissect us or do anything similar to what all these crazy newsponies, Gold Nugget and the EBI plan to do with us, huh!?" Michael demanded.

"Absolutely not! We're the EOOPS! We don't condone that kind of treatment and behavior to anypony, animal, plant or otherwise, whatsoever!" Three Leaf answered. "We just need you to come along with us so that we can transport you to a designated facility where sickos like the EBI, Gold Nugget and these crazy newsponies can't bother you anymore! We can protect you there! Not to mention, we'll support you and provide you with all your needs and just about everything you could want, except for being able to return you home, of course! But we will have to do regular check-ups on all you humans to make sure that you're in good health, too. Also, we'll likely need you to remove your clothes so that we can-"

"Wow! Wow! Wow! Hold on a minute!" John interrupted Three Leaf. "From the way you're talking, it sounds more like you're gonna put us in some special, wildlife habitat or something else like that!"

"Well, actually yes, but-" Three Leaf tried to say.

"Nuh-uh! No way!" Gary refused as he and the other humans all shook their heads to show that they didn't like what Three Leaf and the EOOPS wanted to do with them either. "You're not gonna put us in some special habitat for humans in a zoo or wildlife sanctuary!"

"It won't be so bad! You'll be living in paradise there and get to eat some of the best and most nutritious foods and meals that we have! You'll still get to live in houses and sleep in warm, comfy beds every night. We'll even include bathrooms!" Three Leaf replied. "Though, we will also need you to give us urine samples everyday to help us-"

"You ponies can all go and fucking screw yourselves! A bunch of freaky, colorful, shitty horses aren't gonna do whatever they want with me and get away with it!" Tony yelled in rage.

"Now, enough of this! It's time for you humans to return with us back to EOOPS Headquarters so that we can-" Three Leaf started, but was cutoff.

"Forget it, Three Leaf! Me and the EBI have our orders and we're taking the humans into custody! End of discussion!" Agent Classified told Three Leaf.

"Now, hold on there, you two! The humans are mine! I want my daughter to have the best 8th birthday party that she can have and those humans are just what I need to give to her for that special occasion!" Gold Nugget spoke, refusing to give up the humans, too.

"Hey! What about us!?" said one of the many newsponies, who all joined him in defending their own reasons for wanting the humans. "We got to the humans first! There's still so much that we have to learn about them and their world! They're ours!"

"No, they belong to the EBI!" Agent Classified argued.

"You're both wrong!" Three Leaf chimed in. "Me and the EOOPS are the ones that-"

"I want those humans! All 8 of them!" Gold Nugget argued. "They're mine!"

"They're ours!" Agent Classified shouted.

"No, they're ours!" the mob of newsponies joined in.

"No, they are coming with us!" Three Leaf yelled.

Before long, all the different groups of ponies had begun arguing with each other and they were so busy arguing that none of them were even looking at the group of 8 humans anymore. Realizing that the 4 group of crazy ponies were all distracted and that this was there chance to escape, John asked Twilight and her friends to help them and Twilight agreed.

The 8 humans would sneak away, then rush back to Twilight's house where they could hide for awhile. Twilight and her friends would keep the 4 different groups of ponies that were after the humans off their tracks, which would give the humans enough time to make it across town and seek refuge in twilight's home. Then, Twilight and Spike would meet the humans again back at her house, while her friends did their best to keep the 4 groups of ponies away from the humans once they realized that they had been tricked. at her home, Twilight would have Spike send a letter to the princesses informing them of the current situation that the humans were in and that they needed to send help right away before anything happened to the humans!

The 8 humans and the Elements Of Harmony wished each other good luck as the 8 humans carefully and quietly snuck away and out of sight. Before long, the humans were gone and as expected, the 4 groups of ponies soon noticed this as well! All the groups of ponies gasped and asked Twilight and her friends where they had went and they all lied (except Applejack, who didn't say anything, as she couldn't lie herself, due to her honest nature and being the Element Of Honesty) and told the 4 groups of ponies that the humans were headed out of town and were heading for Manehattan!

Twilight and her friends told them to follow them and the 4 groups of ponies all did. The 4 groups of ponies had no idea that they were all being led in the exact opposite direction that the 8 humans were really going.

Unbeknownst to the humans, the ponies and Spike the Dragon, nearby, a group of Changelings in blue armor that had used their shapeshifting powers to blend in with the environment to avoid being noticed by anypony, had seen and heard everything. They all wore evil grins on their faces. One of them, a Changeling with the same blue armor as his comrades, but had a claw mark above and under his right eye, obviously the leader of the group, spoke, "The humans are alone and the Elements Of Harmony will be gone for a little while! Now's our chance! The humans are ours!"

Meanwhile, across town and near Twilight's home, the 8 humans were running as fast as they could towards Twilight's house, not daring to look behind them! They knew that if any of those 4 groups of ponies got their hooves on them, they were done for!

"I see it! We're getting close!" Ned pointed directly up ahead to see the familiar sight of Twilight's tree home.

"Oh, no! I just remembered! Twilight locked the front door before we all left her place! How are we gonna get inside!?" Alice asked as she began to panic again.

"You don't because you're coming with us instead!" the 8 humans heard a tough and unfamiliar voice from behind them.

The party of 8 humans freaked out as they thought that one of the 4 groups of ponies, if not all of the 4 groups of ponies had already figured out that they had been tricked and had caught up to them! Despite their instincts' telling them not, the 8 humans' curiosities got the better of them and they all stopped in their tracks and turned around to see that instead of any of the 4 groups of ponies that were after them that they had been expected to see, instead there were 8 weird and creepy, black, insect-like and pony-like creatures with bug-like wings in blue armor!

"What the heck!?" Tony yelled. "Now, there's normal-sized, bug horses, on this crappy world, too!? What's next, are we gonna meet the giant from Jack And The Beanstalk!?"

"Who are you guys!?" Michael asked.

"That's not important! You're coming with us and we're gonna take you back to our hive whether you like it or not!" the leader of the group of Changelings replied.

"I'll like to see you try! That's not gonna happen!" John told leader of the group of Changelings and his comrades.

"I'm glad to hear that because I was hoping that we would have to do this the hard way!" the leader of the group of Changelings shouted before he turned to face the other Changelings. "You guys know what to do."

Suddenly, to the 8 humans shock and amazement, they saw the 8 Changelings' bodies disappear in bright, blue lights before they saw that they had been replaced by a couple grizzly bears and manticores! One of the grizzly bears then said, "Surprised aren't ya!? This is one of our kind's greatest feats: the ability to assume the form of almost any being or living creature that we choose!"

Before the 8 humans could process what they had just seen or heard, the 8 transformed Changelings were right on top of them and despite the 8 humans' best attempts to fight back and resist, they were quickly overwhelmed and incapacitated when the Changelings forced them all to drink a blue fluid from a glass bottle. The strange liquid tasted awful and some of the humans almost threw up before their bodies all suddenly became weak and immobile! No matter how hard they tried, the 8 humans couldn't move their bodies a bit, except to open and close their eyes, but that's it!

"That paralysis should keep you all from causing us any trouble for awhile!" the leader of the group of Changelings said before he turned to face the other Changelings as they all changed back into their original forms. "Each of you, get a human and carry it with you so that they can be taken to the hive! Our marvelous Queen Chrysalis, the ruler of the proud Changeling race will wanna see them immediately once we get back!"

All the other Changelings did as they were told and each grabbed a human. The leader of the group of Changelings himself grabbed one of the 8 humans, who was John, as he and his comrades began to fly away from Ponyville and in the direction of the BadLands where the Changeling Hive was located with the 8 humans in tow!

As the 8 humans were unable to do anything and were being taken far away from Ponyville, they all suddenly remembered that they had heard about these Changeling creatures from twilight and her friends before on their way to eat at Applejack's farm. From what Twilight had told them, the Changelings were one of Equestria's biggest enemies and the Changelings were all led by a wicked and cruel, female Changeling called, 'Queen Chrysalis'! Twilight had warned the 8 humans that the Changelings were very clever and dangerous and could shapeshift at will!

If that was all true, then the 8 humans all knew that they were in a lot of trouble and that unlike the ponies of Ponyville, the Changelings would not be so friendly towards them! 'Oh, fuck!' Tony thought as he and the others were carried away by the 8 Changelings and into the horizon!

Back in Ponyville, a 28-year old, blue unicorn mare could be seen watching the Changelings fly away with the 8 humans from her 2-story bedroom window of her house. Her name was Ocean Breeze and she had been lying down on her bed, reading a book that she had borrowed from Twilight's library 5 days ago when she had seen and heard the 8 humans fighting against the Changelings just down the street in front of Twilight's home from her bedroom window.

Ocean Breeze had been too afraid of the Changelings to go out there and help the humans fight them so she had just stayed in her room, watching the entire fight from her window instead. Ocean Breeze gasped when the Changelings incapacitated the humans and flew away with them into the sky and away from Ponyville!

While Ocean Breeze didn't want to fight the Changelings if she could help it, she knew that as a witness to what had happened, she had to do the right thing and inform somepony else about what she had heard and seen. And that somepony was Twilight and the other Elements Of Harmony! If anypony could deal with the Changelings and save the humans, it was them!

With the Changelings gone, Ocean Breeze left her home and went out to search for Twilight and her friends to inform them of the Changelings and that they had captured and flew away with the humans with them. As she ran, Ocean Breeze just hoped that the humans would be okay until Twilight and the others came to rescue them!
