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

"Get in there!" a Changeling guard ordered as he and the other Changelings that had been escorting the humans all forced them into a room even bigger than the one that they had all previously been in locked inside that cage.

Once all 12 of the humans were inside the room, another Changeling guard told them, "Our queen expects to see results soon and I mean soon! You have 24 hours to create some of your 'human' weapons or those two little, filthy apes of yours will pay the price! And don't bother trying to escape either! This door is the only way out of this room and we have hundreds of our guards waiting outside in case you try anything funny!"

"But how are we gonna create the weapons? We don't have any tools nor any of the materials needed to make them!" Ned asked, trying to come up with an excuse to stall for time so that he and the others could try to come up with a plan to get themselves out of their current predicament. "We can't just make them out of thin air! We need the right equipment and supplies if we're gonna so much as create even small firearms like handguns."

"Look around the room. You'll find something that you can use to make the weapons. As for tools, that's not mine, the queen's or the Changeling Hive's problem! You figure that out!" a third Changeling guard said.

"Now, stop wasting our time and get busy or we'll waste your two human friends while you all watch and then make you eat all their organs after their dead until there's nothing left of them except for bones! Understand?" a fourth Changeling guard threatened.

Gary held his little brother close to him in a defensive position while Zach hid behind Roxanne, fearing for his life! Gary and the others were prepared to protect the two kids with their lives if things got ugly.

The group of very scared and disgusted 12 humans all quickly nodded their heads before all the Changeling guards left the room and closed the door behind them. Once again, the humans were alone and unable to think of a plan at the moment, they all knew what they had to do and began to search around the room for anything that they could use to make weapons. Just like the Changeling guard had informed them, there was indeed no other way out of the room besides the way that they entered as there were no other doors or any windows anywhere and this room was also being illuminated by another huge crystal that hung from the ceiling above them.

It wasn't long before they came across a few crates that contained various different metals and other strong materials. "Well, we only have 24 hours to show some results and there's no way we can produce more powerful and complicated weaponry like missiles, tanks or even shotguns in such a short amount of time. We'll have to make smaller things like simple handguns," Ned spoke.

"Hey, genius! In case you forgot, we still don't have any tools and aside from you, we don't know a shit about the process to build weapons of any kind!" Tony reminded Ned. "Even someone like you is gonna have a hell of a time making one handgun, let alone enough to please 'Queen Asshole' and her fellow 'bitchlings' in 24 hours! There's no way you or any of us are gonna create the fucking weapons in time!"

"Maybe Ned can't, but with my help, I think we might just be able to pull it off!" Stan revealed. "Over the course of my life, I have learned many things, including how to build weapons from scratch!"

"Really!? How?" Michael asked.

"When I was in my late 40's, I worked alongside all the engineers and armourers who made all the weapons for the U.S. military!" Stan explained. "I was one of the best men that they had too!"

Ned was even more fascinated by Stan Biffon than he had been before and wanted to ask him more questions, but remembering that this wasn't the time to do that, he decided he would just have to wait to do that later. The others, on the other hand, were skeptical about Stan and his skills and doubted that he could help them build the handguns in time.

"I would tell you more about the details about my days working in the military, but now's not the time to be talking about that! We need to get started on those handguns right away!" Stan said.

"If what you say is true, can you really help us make the handguns within 24 hours?" Claire asked. "And without the exact tools required to make them?"

"Of course I can! Do you doubt my skills?" Stan spoke. "Besides, do you have any other ideas?"

Everyone else was silent as they knew that they were all in a tight spot and the clock was ticking. "That's just what I thought!" Stan told them.

"Alright! Now, Ned you and I will work on the handguns," Stan instructed as he motioned for Ned to stand next him before he pointed to the others. "As for the rest of you, you'll be our assistants and you'll be in charge of bringing all the metal and other supplies that you can find in those crates in this room to us. Don't worry about what materials we have to work with or about tools. We'll just work around it and improvise instead. I've built small weapons on my own without tools before and I promise you that by the end of our 24-hour deadline, we'll have some handguns ready to show to the Changelings!"

"You heard him guys!" Ned commanded. "Everyone knows what they need to do so let's get cracking!"

Meanwhile, Twilight and the rest of the Mane 6 were now making their way through the hot desert of the BadLands. Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy were the only ponies who could fly so Twilight, Rarity, Applejack and Pinkie Pie were walking through the warm and dry sand of the huge desert the whole time. Even Fluttershy was walking through the desert every now and then as unlike Rainbow Dash, she spent more of her time on the ground than in the air despite being a Pegasus pony.

Rainbow Dash was very annoyed with the constant heat of the desert and like the others, had small beads of sweat dripping down her body. Rainbow Dash, though, was just as determined as the others to rescue their human friends from the Changelings and Rainbow Dash couldn't wait to get her hooves on Chrysalis and buck her to kingdom come!

However, Twilight reminded Rainbow that they couldn't just storm into the Changeling Hive and take out Chrysalis and the other Changelings even with them having the Elements Of Harmony this time. If they just attacked the Changelings and pushed them into a corner, they would become desperate and would probably use the humans as hostages and threaten to have them killed if they caused them anymore trouble and they couldn't have that!

No! They had to think things through and have a game plan! The Changelings were very clever and if they and Chrysalis were able to infiltrate Shining Armor and Cadence's royal wedding in Canterlot, then they couldn't afford to underestimate them!

Twilight had determined that they would all reach the Changeling Hive by 10:00pm at night, which mean that they still had a long road ahead of them! Twilight's friends all groaned as Rarity pulled out 6 bottles of water from a saddle bag that she was carrying with her and passed 5 of them to her friends and kept the sixth for herself so that they could all at least stay hydrated until they reach their destination.

As they slowly made their way through the desert, the 6 mares just hoped that the humans could hang in there for a little while longer until they arrived and were able to rescue them.

Back at the Changeling Hive, Ned and Stan were now most way finished building 20 simple handguns. 18 hours had passed and so far, none of the 20 handguns were complete. They all lacked triggers, bullet cartridges and bullets which were vital components for handguns or any gun whatsoever to have in order to shoot and function properly.

"That's it! Just 2 more hours and we'll have all these ready to go! We just need to give them triggers, bullet cartridges and of course, bullets as well!" Stan spoke.

"This is stupid!" Jeff complained as he rubbed his hungry stomach again. "I would kill for some nachos, some Pop-Tarts, a large Coca-Cola, a peperoni pizza and a meatball sandwich from Subway right about now!"

"Shut up and help us, Jeff, or I'll pound you!" Michael threatened as he raised a fist at him and told him to pull out some more of the metal materials from the crates.

"I like to see you try!" Jeff shot back.

Michael was about to carry out his threat, but Stan stopped him and told him that this was no time for them to be fighting each other. They had to work together if they were all gonna get through this.

"What're we doing?" Alice said.

"What does it look like, Alice!? We're trying to complete these 20 handguns before our deadline is up and so that no one gets killed! What do you think!?" Gary replied.

"Don't you all get it!? It doesn't matter whether we make the handguns in time or not! Once Chrysalis and the Changelings get what they want, they won't need us anymore! And when that happens, we're all screwed anyway!" Alice answered.

"Well, I don't wanna lose my brother today, Alice!" Gary spoke. "We don't have a choice!"

"I have to agree with Alice there, Gary!" Michael joined in. "Plus, I really don't want us as the very first humans in all of Equestria to go down in history and be known as the ones responsible for helping the Changelings conquer and destroy Equestria! We can't let the Changelings win and have their way! We gotta do something!"

"Then, go ahead and tell me! I'm all ears if you have any better ideas!" John said.

Before Michael could say anything, Ned beat him to it. "Actually, I do have one, but it's gonna a bit risky!"

"What do you have in mind?" Gary asked.

"This is what we need to do!" Ned spoke. "First, we need to..."
