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

"Alright, everyone!" Ned shouted out to the others as they all started to pay attention to him. "The Changeling guards will be here soon to check in on us and our progress on developing the weapons we promised them and it's almost time to make our move!"

"Hey, genius, you already told us this, you dumbass!" Tony rudely replied.

Ned ignored Tony and said, "As you all know, it would be impossible for us to fight our way through all the guards waiting outside! So first off, we'll need to keep them all busy before we can go anywhere and that's where I come in!" Ned pulled out a small, black ball the size of a baseball from his left pocket and held it out for everyone to see. Everyone soon noticed that the black ball had what looked like built-in speakers and 4 buttons on the top of it. There was a blue button that said 'On', a red button that said, 'Off, a green button, that said, 'Lower Volume' and a yellow button that said, 'Increase Volume'.

"Are you fucking kidding me!?" Tony demanded before he began to laugh. "You're gonna stop those 'bitchlings' and help us escape with a little radio or boombox or whatever the heck that crappy thing is!?"

"It's not a radio or a boombox, Tony. This is one of the most useful inventions that I've ever created and it's our key to keeping those Changeling guards distracted long enough for us to get out of here!" Ned shot back.

"And what are you gonna do, play rock music and challenge them to a dance off!?" Gary asked, quite skeptical about how Ned's so-called invention was gonna help them.

"Of course not! I'm a straight-A student, not a dancer! Now, will you please let me explain already!?" Ned spoke angrily, beginning to become frustrated with being interrupted.

"Anyway, as I was saying. This thing here is called an 'II', which stands for 'Insect Incapacitator'!" Ned revealed.

"What does it do?" John asked.

"It does exactly what its name implies. It quickly and effectively incapacitates any insect nearby, making them weak and unable to do anything aside from breathing," Ned answered.

"How does it work, though?" Claire asked.

"I just have to press the 'On' button and it will begin to emit a special frequency that will neutralize any insect that hears them," Ned replied.

"But the Changelings aren't insects, at least I don't think they are," Eddie said.

"Maybe not, but from what I've gathered, their bodies and DNA are just close enough to bugs on our world, that my II device should affect them just the same," Ned explained. "In the past, I used to be so afraid of bugs and getting bitten or stung by them that I would always wear insect repellent! Then, last year, I finally had enough and after a couple weeks, I created the II to end my bug problems once and for all! With this, who needs insect repellent? Ever since then, I carry it with me in my pocket at all times!"

"Okay. I guess that makes sense, but how come you didn't tell us about it before? If what you say is true, it would've been a great time to use your II invention when my little brother's and Zach's lives were being threatened by Chrysalis and the Changeling guards back in Queen Chrysalis's Throne Room!" Gary demanded, somewhat angered to now know that Ned could've gotten them out of their current predicament all this time.

"The II only has a 5-hour battery life and I already used 4 hours and 48 minutes of it back at the log cabin on Earth! I have no way here or anywhere else in Equestria to recharge it so we need to save the remaining power it has left until the Changeling guards show up and we're ready! Plus, I estimate that the Changeling guards will only stay incapacitated once they've been exposed to the II's frequency for 5-10 minutes max!" Ned spoke. "Therefore, we can't afford to make any mistakes and we have to use the remaining 12 minutes of battery life on my II wisely because after that, we're on our own!"

"But what do we do after we've taken care of the guards and we get out of this room?" Michael asked.

"I can answer that!" Stan said as he pulled out a white piece of paper that he had been carrying in his pocket just like Ned had done with his II device. Stan then opened up the paper all the way to reveal the contents of the paper. Everyone all looked shocked when they saw what it was!

"A map!?" Everyone else spoke in unison.

"That's right! A map!" Stan explained. "I stole this map that shows the entire layout of the Changeling Hive from one of those Changeling guards that dragged us in here when he wasn't looking."

"This is great! Now we have a map of this entire place! This will definitely be useful!" Ned said before Stan handed him the map and Ned studied it carefully.

When Ned was finished, he pointed to a small section on the map and spoke, "Okay, guys! We're in luck! The one and only entrance and exit to the Hive is closer than I previously thought! But I highly doubt that even with my II device, Chrysalis and her Changelings will let us get very far once we get outside, so we need a more permanent solution to deal with them than just rendering them temporarily defenseless and immobile."

"Way to state the obvious, Einstein!" Tony insulted Ned.

Ned ignored Tony and continued telling the others his plan. "Fortunately, for us, this map has invaluable information that will give us just what we need to turn the tables on that cold-hearted Queen Chrysalis and the other Changelings!"

"Get on with it, Sherlock! I don't have all day!" Tony yelled at Ned, beginning to become impatient with not knowing what the rest of the plan was.

"Shut up, Tony! We don't have time to deal with you and your bad attitude!" Michael ordered.

Ned looked at everyone with a smile on his face. "I'm calling this, 'Operation: Fly Trap'!" Ned announced. "First, when the Changeling guards arrive to check on our progress, I'll use the II device and leave them temporarily incapacitated, while we leave and make our way towards where we'll begin the next phase of our plan, 'The Changeling Hive Amory'!"

"According to this map, the armory contains a few boxes of powerful explosives, which are vital to the success of this operation! We'll need them if we're gonna take down Chrysalis and the Changeling Hive!" Ned revealed before he turned to face John, Tony, Michael and Gary. "John, Jeff, Tony, Michael and Gary, I'll need your help carrying the explosives around, just make sure to be very careful with them! As I said before, they're very powerful and highly explosive!"

"And what are we gonna do with those explosives!?" Alice demanded.

"Yeah! Why do I have to help carry them?" Jeff asked. "Why can't we be carrying a dozen boxes of pizzas instead?" Saying this made Jeff even hungrier than he already was and all he could do was just rub his growling stomach.

"We're gonna take those explosives and set them all off in some different areas of the Hive, including Chrysalis's Throne Room!" Ned explained. "We're literally gonna blow this place apart and bring the roof down on Chrysalis and the Changeling Hive!"

"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Everyone else shouted in terrified unison.

"You heard me right! We're blowing this place to kingdom come!" Ned confirmed. "If we destroy the Hive, we also eliminate at least most of the Changelings along with Queen Chrysalis herself and her wicked dreams of conquering Equestria!"

"Are you mad!?" Michael demanded. "We'll get killed, too! That's suicide!"

"Not if we all get out in time first!" Ned replied. "After we plant all the bombs where they need to be and they go off, we'll have 10 minutes or more to get out and put some distance between us and the Changeling Hive when it completely collapses!"

"We'll never make it in time!" Gary spoke. "That plan isn't just crazy and dangerous, it's downright stupid!"

"I told you that my plan was gonna be risky, Gary! We don't have any other choice!" Ned told him. "Would you rather we do nothing and let Chrysalis take over Equestria before she decides we're of no further use to her and she goes back on her word and has Eddie, Zach and all of us killed anyway? We can't trust Chrysalis not to break her promise, much less to let us go! I'm just as nervous as you are about this, but these are drastic times and drastic times call for drastic measures!"

Gary wanted to argue some more, but he knew that Ned was right and that Ned's extremely risky and dangerous plan was a huge gamble that they just were going to have to make. "Fine. I'm in," Gary reluctantly muttered. "But if anything happens to my little brother, I'm holding you accountable, got it!?"

Ned nodded. Soon, everyone else also slowly agreed to Ned's plan and with that, it was all settled. Now, all Ned and the others had to do now was wait just a couple more minutes and Operation: Fly Trap would begin!

…………..……………………………………………………………….

Meanwhile, in another part of the Hive, Twilight Sparkle and her friends had managed to escape their changeling captors and free themselves from their chains and shackles thanks to Fluttershy's infamous 'The Stare' technique. They were now carefully searching the Changeling Hive again, only this time being even more careful than before.

The Changeling guards that had been escorting them to the room with the cage earlier had easily and quickly been subdued by Fluttershy's Stare and they were affected by it so much that all Fluttershy had to do was ask them to let them go, remove all their chains and shackles and tell them where their 8 human friends were being held at. Then Applejack and Rainbow Dash bucked them on the back of their heads and knocked them out to prevent them from telling Chrysalis and the other Changelings about them escaping. To be safe, the Elements Of Harmony also shoved all of their unconscious bodies into a supplies closet and placed some heavy things in front on the door to keep them inside once they all came to.

Even with their magic, though, Twilight and Rarity still couldn't exactly figure out where their human friends were, even with the information that their former Changeling captors had given them. Apparently, the entire structure of the Hive was resistant to unicorn magic so it was of little to no help for them. Plus, the humans were immune to magic and weren't magical in any way, so they couldn't just cast a magic detection spell to find them either.

"We're getting closer to them! I just know it!" Twilight spoke.

"Well, wherever they are, sugarcube, we gotta find 'em all fast! Once Chrysalis discovers that we escaped, the whole and entire Hive will be on us like a swarm of bees!" Applejack said. "I don't know about you, but something tells me that things are about to get really crazy!"

"Yeah! Operation: Fly Trap is about to begin and in the next chapter, there's gonna be a big fight scene, too!" Pinkie spoke, yet again breaking the 4th wall. "Oopsie! Now, I'm spoiling the next chapter of this fanfiction. I hope the author forgives me for that."

Twilight, Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash all stop and stare at Pinkie Pie with very confused and weirded out looks on their faces. "Uh, okay, Pinkie. Thanks for...Uh, sharing that with us," Twilight spoke awkwardly. Twilight then whispered to Rarity, "It's official! I'll never understand Pinkie!"

"Neither will I, darling. Neither will I," Rarity whispered back to Twilight.

However, what Twilight and Rarity didn't know was that Applejack and Rarity were right and that things were about to get crazy indeed!
