Sunset was frozen in fear, not sure what was more terrifying. The two sphinxes primed to pounce on her. Or the man who is standing above her glaring daggers waiting for her answer. When she tried to slide away the sphinx on her right let out a snarl making her stop. “So you have no answer. So be it.” Sunset looked away from the sphinxes and back to the man who was standing there with a growing frown.

The man raised his hand with his fingers primed to snap when a new voice drew his attention. “All right thats enough fun call them off.” Sunset snapped her head back to see Cu and Kintoki walking up both with weapons drawn.

“Unless you think those two kittens of yours will be enough to keep you safe from us.” Cu finished lifting his spear from his shoulder and letting it hang in his hand as Kintoki kept his ax over his shoulder with his free hand in his pocket.

“I only want to know why this mage called upon me without my permission this has nothing to do with you or your friend.” The three stood their ground making the air grow heavy as Sunset finally made her way between Cu and Kintoki.

“Please you two we can’t risk fighting in here, who knows what might happen. As for you, who are you?” Sunset grew bolder taking a few steps towards the man she summoned.

The man cracked a grin while letting out a huff. “Again you dodge my question and lay out your own with a stern face under my gaze. Very well as a reward for your newfound courage I will answer this question. My name is Ozymandias. A king amongst kings. A pharaoh that even the sun yields to. Gaze upon my being.” When Ozymandias finished a bright bloom of light appeared behind him making him appear as the definition of divine as the three infront of him shielded their eyes from the light.

“Did you do that on purpose?” Sunset asked after the light died down.

“But of course a pharaoh must always know how to set themselves above the common rabble.” Ozymandias called his sphinxes back and knelt down to pet one before he continued speaking. “Now for the answer to my question.”

“Yeah I think it’s about time you tell us why we are here.” Kintoki leaned back as he called back to the group in the front of the room.

Everyone soon got up and made their way to the Sunset and the others as they split into two groups with the servants in one group and the rest in the other. The girls stood under the servants gaze before Twilight broke the silence. “Well to put it simple, your um masters need your help.”

“Yeah I heard Rainbow say that but what does that mean.” Cu crossed his arms wanting this to be over as fast as possible.

“Out home Equestria is in trouble. Somepony used the same spell we used to bring all of you back and has several servants terrorizing our home. We can’t fight them so we thought that fighting fire with fire was the answer.”

“So what you’re saying is some bastard brought others like us to life and is wrecking your home. So you summoned us thinking we will help just like that?” Mordred asked making sure she heard her master right.

“Yes so please we aren’t asking we’re beggin you, help us save our home.”

The servants exchanged stares before Cu spoke up rubbing the back of his neck. “Well I already said I helped so guess I’m in.”

“I did to so guess we’re both in the same boat Lancer.” Kintoki gave a smack to Cu’s back as the two gave a laugh.

“We agreed to help Fluttershy from the start.” Jack looked up at Mozart who stayed silent but nodded his confirmation.

Everyone looked at Ozymandias as he had his eyes closed deep in thought. “Ozymandias?” Sunset hoped her summoning wasn’t a waste of time.

Ozymandias’ eyes opened as he smirked at his master before giving his answer. “A pharaoh must lead others and give assistance when it is needed. So put your worries away as I will solve your trouble. Go on you may cheer for me.”

The girls lit up with joy as the servants agreed to help and started to cheer with them as the chance to save their home grew brighter. But before they can get to carried away Kintoki raised his hand. “Uhh but I still have one question. What’s with the doubles of most of you?”

Pinkie was more than happy to answer her new friends question. “Well you see Goldy me and my friends are from another world. We only came here cause we got chased by this super scary pegasus with this big old spear screaming angry words at Rainbow. There was also this huge red centaur called Tirek and a big Earth pony with a shovel and-.” Rainbow clamped on her mouth cutting her off. “You all got that right?”

“So you are from a different world with talking pegusi?” Mozart pointed out the ludicrous statement wanting confirmation from his master.

“Why yes dear we are. Well now that I go over it this does seem silly.”

“So does that mean your a pegasus Fluttershy?” Jack grew curious to know what their master really was. Fluttershy nodded making the child’s eye light up.

“Wait you’re all pegusi?”

“No Mordred only Rainbow and Fluttershy are. Applejack and Pinkie are Earth Ponies and Sunset, Rarity, and I are unicorns.” Starlight piped up not wanting Mordred to get to riled up.

“Well if what you are saying is true how do we reach your home world then?” Ozymandias’ curiosity grew greater as this conversation dragged on.

“Wait wait wait. You all just gonna believe them right out of the gate? Just like that?” Aj scratched her head as she didn’t understand why all of them would agree to help so willingly. Cu simply shrugged off the question as if it wasn't the craziest thing he heard in his life.

"It's not the first time I saw a different world. Even lived in it for some years. The bigger pill to swallow is this whole talking horse thing."

“It’s because they have not given us any reason to doubt them. They appear and even have a aura of innocence to them. Arash stepped away from the servants towards the door connecting to Yearlings office. “And besides I agree with Rider I want to see how Applejack and her friends came to our world. Now shall we be off?”

The group broke up as they followed Arash back through the door and through the hallway to the museum lobby. “But isn’t it gonna look weird. With all of us going through town and back to the statue?”

“You don’t have anything to fear Twilight. Look it’s half past ten and I should be the only one here to lock the museum up.” Yearling passed her friend her phone that showed the time confirming what she said.

As they reached the museum lobby moonlight filtered through the windows lighting the room up in a soft glow.

“Wow she wasn’t kidding it really is night. Hey look at the tattoo things their glowing this awesome red color.” Rainbow turned the back of her left hand to the others to show off the summoner brand. It red lines reflected the moonlight to depict a hexagon with each point being a sphere and lines extending inward from each point to the center forming its own circle in the center. The girls all looked at their own hand to see a matching symbol.

“Thank you so much Mrs. Yearling. None of this would have been possible without you.” Twilight hugged her friend who returned it.

“Your welcome Twilight. I just ask you to be careful.” Twilight nodded as she followed everyone out of the building leaving Yearling in the room alone.

“Good luck everyone.” Yearling called as she followed them to the door and locking them.

“She seemed nice.” Jack commented as the group rounded the block back towards the school.

“So let me get this straight you guys used this statue as a portal toward your world?” Cu leaned closer getting a better look at the statue.

“Yep all we gotta do is walk through and we will be back in Equestria.” Rainbow said over her shoulder as she shook hands with Dash as everyone said their goodbyes.

Sunset broke her hug with Twilight as the rest of her friends said their goodbyes. “Girls it’s okay I’ll come back after this whole problem is solved I promise.”

“We know darling but it’s just difficult to just sit idly by as you throw yourself into something dangerous.”

“Don’t worry Rares we’ll take good care of her.” Applejack stated coming up behind Sunset.

“Wait has anyone seen Spike?” Twilight started to panic at the thought of her dog missing.

“Over here.” Spike called from the school stairs as both dogs ran to the group. “So did you find any help. Can we save Twilight?”

The servants stood quiet before Kintoki spoke what was on the groups mind. “Did that dog just talk?”

“Puppies!” Jack ran up and cradled one of the Spikes in her arms as if he was a plush toy.

“Spike quit playing around it’s almost time to head back.”

“Starlight, I’m your Spike the one the kid's holding is from here.” The other Spike said as his counterpart gets squeezed by Jack.

“Jack sweetie please put Spike down it’s almost time to go.”

“Okay Fluttershy.” Jack set down the puppy and went back to the group as the Spike joined them.

“Well thanks for all the help but we gotta be going.” Starlight waved off the school students as the group turned to the statue as Rainbow took the lead.

“Alright everypony here we go.” Rainbow lept toward the segment of the statue where the portal was at.

Author's Note

Okay so I really need to give Arash and Mozart some more time in the spotlight. I actually feel bad about giving them so little compared to the rest.
